Suspend-It

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!

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.

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.

Sometimes, it isn’t enough to just go by the recommendation of beauty ads and dermatologists when it comes to finding solution to skin problems such as acne. I personally have tried several dermatologists but majority of them failed to solve my acne problem. That is, until one of my relatives recommended her dermatologist.

Considering that she used to have an acne condition that’s worse than what I currently have, and that our genes are pretty much the same (which means what worked for her may most likely work for my skin type as well), I decided to go visit her dermatologist. What do you know, I was able to find the best acne creams through her dermatologist! Right now, my facial skin is almost scar and pimple free. ^_^

I only wish I figured the I-have-the-same-genes-with-my-relatives-consequently-similar-skin-type part sooner. That way, I need not endure the torture of looking at the mirror with those darn pimples smiling at me all this time. Oh well. They’re gone now. That’s what’s important.

Earlier I was in the derma clinic to have my skin checked up. I seem to have been irritated with a certain insect that bit me a few weeks ago. It was just a tiny insect much like a bug and it bit me. It started out as a red dot in my skin but it was very itchy. I tried several remedies yet the itchiness remained.

When the derma saw it, she instantly knew the problem. It was eczema, triggered by that insect bite. At first I doubted her opinion because I always thought that eczema is just characterized by goosebumps-looking rashes in the skin. She explained that there are different types of eczema and mine is somewhat common to those with dermatitis.

Anyhow, she prescribed some eczema treatments to take care of the itch and inflammation. She said that this is a conservative remedy for my condition. In case it does not work for me, she will need to inject some steroids directly into my wound. Now I’m really scared. Damn that insect!

Often times, when people experience breakouts, they ask for the best acne treatments available. Come to think of it, how can an acne treatment be considered best if there are different skin types and different causes of acne? Until now, science still has not been able to pinpoint exactly the main cause of acne. Some doctors may say that it is hereditary while some say it’s because of the oil that is clogging our pores. Just the same, they are not really sure why acne is only affecting some people while some don’t get acne at all.

From the studies that i have read, one thing is for sure. Acne is cause by toxins in our body. The only way we could stop acne is to get rid of those toxins. To do that we need to live a healthy lifestyle – eating more vegetables, drinking more fluids, and doing plenty of exercise. In addition, a healthy relaxed mind improves your overall health too. So in summary, if you really want to lose or prevent acne, relax and be healthy.

Do you know what’s better than Stimerex ES in making you lose weight? A combination of stress and depression. For some people anyway. To others, stress and depression does the opposite – it makes them fatter. The only major difference between weight loss products and undergoing stress and depression is that as you get thinner, you will also look uglier with the latter. After all, dark under eye circles and wrinkles are expected when you are undergoing stress.

Still, there are various ways to be able to cope up with stress and depression. To some, all they need is good food and someone to talk to. For people like me, a good night sleep can make me feel better. Then again, it depends on the level of stress or depression you’re currently undergoing. There are of course times, when sleep isn’t enough to help you get over it. Which is why multivitamins like Mosegor are a big help for me. It literally forces you to sleep – in a healthy way. So you get the sleep you need to be able to go through yet another day.

When I went home yesterday night, I was shocked to see our neighbor’s babysitter, Marienel. She looked like she’s been crying all day. Concerned, I hesitantly approached her and asked what happened. She blankly stared at me and said, “Huh?”

I shared my observation about her looking like she’s been crying all day and the creases in her forehead increased in confusion. I just raised my eyebrows in question and concern. Then surprisingly, she laughed, hard. I thought she was going crazy, then she said, “It’s the eye concealer!”

This time, I was the one who gave her a blank stare. Marienel continued while giggling, “I forgot to put on my eye concealer that’s why my eye bags are all dark and I look like I’ve been crying.” Ah-hah! So that’s the culprit.

Frankly though, proper application of a good eye wrinkle cream with whitening action would be more helpful than using concealers. What do you think?

I have always been interested on getting my teeth whitened ever since college. Whenever I see celebrities with shiny white teeth, I can’t help but be envious. Fortunately, a friend of mine who is a Plano cosmetic dentist offered me a huge discount on teeth whitening.However, come to think of it, how white exactly is “naturally white” anyway? My dentist friend explained that whitening solutions can whiten your teeth to virtually the lightest shade but of course with some considerations. Whitening agents contain hydrogen peroxide, a form of bleach, that strip away layers of discolored layers of teeth. Longer exposures to this bleaching agent means whiter teeth. The problem however is there is a tendency for the teeth to get brittle as it is bleached so the exposure time is just limited.Naturally, teeth are white but with a tint of yellow. If you look at children’s teeth you will see the natural color of teeth. This is the shade that I must aim for. Any shade lighter than that and the teeth will look like dentures already. hehe.

On my way to my room, I was surprised to hear my sister Anne wail out my name. She sounded really in despair so I immediately ran to her room. When I opened the door, I saw her freaking out on a tiny, almost unnoticeable wrinkle in her eye.

I didn’t know whether to strangle her for making me worry, or laugh out of relief because apparently, it wasn’t THAT bad. Anyway, she was really worried about looking old, so I recommended the best eye cream I’ve tried and tested so far. Yes, she hasn’t been using moisturizer and eye cream.

Frankly, at her age, using moisturizer and eye cream is already a given. Add sun block to your daily face regimen as well. Those three are the secret recipe to staying young and pretty!
