Dressing Up

mental fitness, health & beauty No Comments »

Have you ever been a kid who never cared about the way she looked just as long as she was comfortable?

I’ve always been that way since I was young, and I can say that it wasn’t so bad. After a few years of going out wearing nothing but jeans, sneakers and a shirt, I got bored of it and discovered that girly clothes and shoes aren’t necessarily uncomfortable as long as you don’t buy cheap and poor quality ones.

I started wearing cardigan sweaters and pumps, and I can say many people have complimented me on how I look. Not only did I feel pretty, my ego also had a huge boost! Nothing really feels better than knowing you’re out there looking your best.

A little makeup won’t hurt, and wearing dresses make you more attractive! Trust me, this is based from personal experience.

Hair Health

fitness advice, mumblings, health & beauty No Comments »

I recently saw a Scott Pilgrim music video that showed a couple of scenes from the said movie that was yet to be released.

All I can say is, Ramona Flowers’ binoculars are quite awesome, I didn’t think anyone could pull off a look like that.

I don’t think the way she dyes her hair is quite impractical though. I saw her have about three different hair colors. I know this is only a movie and that she’s most likely using wigs, but it got me to thinking how naive I was when I was in college. I wanted to dye my hair blonde, leave it be for three weeks, then dye my hair red for it to be bright.

I realized my hair right now is fine, and it would cost me a lot to maintain that hair color and keep my hair healthy, so such a decision is not only impractical, but also inconvenient.

Treat acne fast

skin care, health & beauty No Comments »

Yes, you can treat acne fast – even overnight, although the latter only means a reduction of swelling and redness.

If you have a big pimple or zit in your face and you have that hot date or party tomorrow, you might want to try putting tea tree oil drops into your pimple. Tea tree oil has been proven effective and is safe for the skin. It is quite potent, though, so a tiny drop or even less can suffice. Then leave the oil on your face overnight. You will notice differences in the morning.

Another way to treat acne overnight is to put a bit of toothpaste or aloe vera gel onto the pimple and then again, sleep it off, and see improvements the morning after.

To treat acne long-term, though, you might want to visit a dermatologist, especially if your acne is recurring. He/she will give you a proper prescription and diet to treat your acne.

Try out Pronexin

Stress always leads to pimples in my case. I have noticed this while browsing through my Facebook pictures. Whenever I was in a tight scheduled project, I always have breakouts on my face and back. Good thing a friend of mine recommended pronexin - an anti-acne treatment which definitely works for me.I did a little research about this brand first before I bought it. Basically it has the same ingredients as the other known brands, however the formula is better. It is formulated to allow maximum absorption by the skin, allowing the active ingredients to seep in your pores. The brand claims that you will see results in 72 hours. As I may not agree to how fast you see the effects, I can say that it worked for me. I saw how effective it was after just two weeks of regular use.So if you are just like me, try this product. It worked for me and it may work for you too.

The Ideal Woman

health & society, health & beauty, fitness essentials No Comments »

Another issue I’ve been wanting to tackle is how society pictures the “ideal woman”.

Most of the women we see on television are pretty, flawless, and skinny female with great figures. The sad part is, only a few women have this kind of figure.

Thanks to breakthroughs in modern science, however, products like nuphedragen came to existence to help women with low self esteem to start doing something about it.

The REAL sad part is, what is pleasing to the eyes isn’t always as pleasing to the touch.

Acne Products

With all the acne products available in the market today, you’ll have an idea how hard it is to do your own research. And with all the different brands of anti acne creams today, how will we be able to choose the best one?

Most people would probably go for the branded ones which they see in commercials in TV. But  what most people do not know, those branded ones on TV are not that effective. Since they are commercialized, their reputation was built based on the ads. So how do we choose the best products to use? The best way to do this is to ask your Dermatologist. These doctors know how to treat your acne. Remember, there are different skin types so you must get the acne products especially made for your skin. Dermatologists do not usually prescribe an over the counter cream. Instead, they mix their own formula.

Another easier way to look for a good product is by doing research on the net. There are a lot of acne product reviews on the net and you will learn so much from them. Then again you need to ask your Derma later on. But now you can ask if the brand can be used for your skin or not.

On glowing and looking radiant from within

mental fitness, tips & tricks, health & beauty No Comments »

At the department store, browsing for my usual beauty products, I realized that I’ve been spending a load of cash just to prettify myself. The anti wrinkle cream on my hand could already pay for my dinner for one week! Then I realize that instead of spending too much money on making myself look pretty, I should be doing something from within – something that would make me glow and look radiant. I need to relax.

I have been thinking of resigning for the longest time now. But my mind has been hazy with a lot of hang ups and payables. A week off from work to think about what I really want is the best way to be able to make a clear and firm decision. I expect that with my vacation, I’ll be happy and resolved with what I want to happen with my life – then I’ll start glowing with happiness.

“Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.”
~ Leonardo da Vinci

On habits

skin care, health & beauty No Comments »

It’s always good to develop a good habit when it comes to taking care of yourself. I have seen women who says they’re 34 but they look like in their late 40s. The reason is because they failed to give time and enough care for themselves. I have seen some who had been aging backwards. A good example is my sister’s mother-in-law.

That woman looks so effing hot in her early 50s. Men half her age would still look her way. Her skin is as smooth as porcelain and her body still got those killer curves when she was in her 20s (as seen from her photos). The secret ingredient were, according to her, eating fruits and or veggies in the morning and in the evening and sunscreen + moisturizer.

According to her the sun is getting too harsh on the skin so in order to keep it youthful, always use moisturizer like prototype 37c and sunscreen no matter how greasy they feel. Your skin would thank you 30 years from now by simply doing that regularly.

I may still be young but it’s not too early to start!

The Best Fat Burner: A Healthy Lifestyle

fitness advice, mental fitness, tips & tricks, health & beauty No Comments »

I’ve come to believe that out of all the fat burners out there, be it a ab machine, sauna belt or something useless you bought on the home shopping network, the best way to burn fat is to lead an active life. The problem with trying to lose weight while lying on your back at home or just sitting on the couch is that, well, you can’t.

Developing a healthy body is a lot of hard work - and it’s even harder to maintain. Some people don’t realize that people in magazines and billboards have to work very hard to look the way they do because they look good for a living. It’s good to lose weight, but it’s always a good idea to know why you’re doing it. If it’s because you simply want to look more attractive, then forget about it because using your own insecurities as motivation can only get you so far. Developing a healthy body is a result of a complete overhaul of your lifestyle including a healthier diet.

It’s how you use it!

Last night, after what was, to me, a more than satisfactory performance on his part, my boyfriend started asking me how he compared to the other men I’ve been with. Now normally I wouldn’t entertain such questions, but I decided to answer him anyway since I wanted to see just how insecure he’d get. Sure enough, after telling him about the exes and how hung they all were, things got awful quiet.

It didn’t bother me until I caught him popping some pills one morning. He nervously told me they were just vitamins – but he was never a good liar. He finally confessed that he read some Enzyte reviews and decided to try them. Apparently Enzyte is a natural supplement engineered for ‘male enhancement’. I didn’t bother asking what exactly it ‘enhanced’, because I figured I’d find out during the next few nights. Guys, take note, it takes alot more than a big shaft to take a girl to heaven so get over it - although it certainly does help, and I secretly hope Enzyte works.
