Fit and Fashion Mom

Many of us idolized Jennifer Lawrence and why not, Jennifer is pretty without much effort, she can act and she is one of the few actresses in the Hollywood that doesn't much pay attention with her appearance. She basically doesn’t care if she’s gaining weight or losing it and she doesn’t like any of her fans to starve just to be perfect for other’s perspective eyes.

But unlike many of us, a fan named Kitty will go under the knife just to get the looks of her idol Jennifer Lawrence. The 30 years old wife has already gone from a month long of plastic surgery last February to become more like Jennifer Lawrence. His husband wasn’t actually convinced that she undergo to the procedures.

According to Kitty: “I’m trying to look like a very capable, very personal level-headed female who is an Academy Award winner.”

“I am a strong woman. I am in charge of how I look and I can change that and then change that again if I want.”

Kitty underwent liposuction into her face and body, a breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, and fat grafts to her cheeks and behind, which took six hours and cost $25,000, she gets a discounts for appearing on TV and interviews.

Kitty has a 5 year old daughter and she admits that the money could be use in the future for the college fund of her daughter, but she also justified her reason that the money was saved from her previous job intended for a “me fund”.

What do you think? Did she get what she wanted or just a total waste of money?

Dermablend-Cassandra-Bankson-Cheri-Lindsay

Cassandra Bankson on top and Cheri Lindsay below

Dermablend is one of reputable brand for make-up especially made for skin with mild to severe condition. This may be your brand of make-up if you have a very sensitive skin. Recently, Dermablend released their latest ad for its corrective cosmetics but unlike the usual ad that encourages you to buy their product they make some twist in their concept that inspires anyone to reveal their true selves.

Two of the popular beauty guru vlogger in YouTube is in the ad. One of the ads is Cassandra Bankson, a model and YouTube star who's suffering from severe acne and Cheri Lindsay, a volleyball coach with vitiligo or a skin pigmentation condition; they both share their experiences and how they cope with it then remove their make-up in front of the camera.

Their ad is now currently popular and often shared in different social media. These only shows that many people can relate to their experience and somehow inspiring to others who suffered the same situation to just live with it and face it.

Watch their Camo confession below and be amazed too:

Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao won by unanimous decision over Timothy Bradley but his mom Dionesia Pacquiao who is sitting in the ringside steals more of the show. Mommy D as fondly called by many has caught by the cam on round 6 like she was praying with some weird act as if she is throwing a f*ck finger on the cam. The commentators said she might be chanting some Filipino curse to Bradley.

Mommy D without her knowing became a trend in twitter worldwide. She also seen at the ring after the fight is over which is not usually her way in Manny’s previous fight, she also caught talking and hugging Bradley after checking his son.

Mommy D is now talk of the social media, she even been features at the usatoday.com as the “starof the night”.

And before this, Mommy D took time to prayed over to Manny in his room, this proves only how loving, caring and protective mom is what Mommy D to Manny. Hat’s off to Mommy D although I admit you amuse me a lot on this fight.

Zac-Efron-Won-MTV’s-Best-Shirtless-Performance-Workout

Zac Efron at 2014 MTV Movie Award

It’s no doubt that Zac Efron will win the MTV Movie award for the “Best shirtless performance” for he had amazing abs among the nominees in that category. But his acceptance of the award made the crowd go wild when Rita Ora stripped his polo on the stage. Zac Efron really had discipline in maintaining his awesome body. I’ve seen his movie”The Lucky One” in HBO yesterday and it seems he never changed his physique from that movie yet he is more gorgeous now.

Zac-Efron-Won-MTV’s-Best-Shirtless-Performance-Plus-Workout

isn't this hot?

Zac Efron workout

Zac Efron physique change drastically when he prepares for the role in “The Lucky One” movie. He trained at the Navy Seal to be fit for his role as U.S Marine. His workout is to constantly switch between cardio and strength training. This workout forces his body to physically change to cope with the vigorous workouts. Zac Efron’s 3-2-1 workout is to make his body in totally exhaustion from workout. Instead of running on a treadmill for 40 minutes, they did a traditional power lifting workout. Of course Zac Efron must have a nutritionist for him to develop and maintain his muscles especially his upper body, together with the good gene and discipline.

And if you want to have that body as Zac Efron does why not join the Navy now and spread awesome body lol.

I've been hearing this virus called Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus or MERS CoV even last year when my husband came home from Qatar. I first heard of it from the doctor we see when my hubby goes for check up because his cough never go away. The doctor’s reaction when he knew where hubby came from is alarming but glad that it isn't the virus he feared of.

I heard that there death toll is slowly increasing because of this virus and the patients only last in 10 days after it was confirmed to have MERS CoV. Currently this virus is reportedly hit the Middle East country and in some parts in Asia including ours.

How MERS-CoV is transmitted

According to Wikipedia transmission of this virus from person to person is very low. The cells MERS-CoV infects in the lungs only account for 20% of respiratory epithelial cells, so a large number of virions are likely needed to be inhaled to cause infection.The World Health Organization is now warning that the MERS-CoV virus is a "threat to entire world." However, Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, stated that as of now MERS-CoV "does not spread in a sustained person to person way at all." Dr. Fauci stated that there is potential danger in that it is possible for the virus to mutate into a strain that does transmit from person to person.

And just like any virus you can get it by mingling to people who is infected with virus, droplets from coughs or sneezes, or skin contact and transmitted it inside your body.

Common Symptoms of MERS-CoV

Fever

Cough

Difficulties in breathing

Most Patients had pneumonia

Diarrhea

Or any related respiratory issues

Currently there is no known cure or medication for MERS-CoV and the treatment only is to keep the virus at bay by boosting the immune system of the patients. Patients who suspected to have MERS-CoV should be quarantine immediately or it will infect his whole family and love one. The best thing to do right now is to buy a dozen pieces of face mask, wash hands frequently and take your vitamins to strengthen our body’s resistance against this virus.

There are so many reasons why we gain weight, becoming overweight or obese. Probably most of us are irritable when someone see us with a greeting of “Oh you gain weight today” or “you look fat today than before”. Of course we all love to lose weight but just like me, you just didn't know where to start and you are also tired of all the promise from miracle drug and those fitness experts that will let you exhaust first before seeing result. It’s like it was easy for them to give an advice but doing it is so freaking hard.

I've been there before I lose a huge amount of weight when me and hubby are preparing to get wed in Catholic Church, the thought of I wanted to be slim on my special day motivated me to lose weight and I did. I try to do it again after years that I put it back in me, but it’s getting harder for me now because I always get tired due to ageing or maybe because I had no reason or motivation to lose weight. But this time I am trying again with calorie counting diet but without starvation plus light workout.

I learned that some successful people in weight loss just eat healthy and count calories that they put in their body. They don’t do vigorous exercises because just like me they feel exhausted after minutes of workout and exercising. In my experience I cannot exceed 20 minutes on elliptical, it gives me so much pain on the lower part of my body and it feels I am going to passed out while exercising (I blame it on ageing lol).

According to Google our body burns 2000 calories everyday doing our usual routine. The problem is we usually put more than 2000 calories a day in our body. And if we reduce the calorie food intake to our body we can also lose weight just by doing nothing. Expert says, if you want to lose 1 pound of fat you need to burn 3500 calories, but this is not for 1 day only, it may take time before you burn those 3500 calories, and the safest is from 2 weeks to 1 month. Same also if you want to gain 1 pound in weight you need to increase more than 2000 calories a day in your diet. The safest calorie intake in losing weight is 1200 to 1700 calories and taking lower than 1200 is putting your body into starvation mode which is not advisable by expert. Although Dr. Willie T. Ong said eating fewer than everyone else is good than overeating.

It’s hard if you just starting this calorie counting diet especially if you are not familiar with the calorie content of the food. But you can always search it on the internet while some food packages already have it on their label. Or download an app that can calculate calories for you, I use myfitnesspal app and has a food diary on it, which is easier to track my calories intake. So far I already lose 4 pounds with moderate workout in 4 weeks of calorie counting, I don’t starve myself because they said my metabolism will be slower than before and will put back the weight I have lost that sometimes has a revenge of doubling its number. My verdict says this calorie counting really works for weight loss because it uses science as the basis of reasoning.

Just a tip: vegetables and fruits have lower calories yet can make you feel full and not hungry for the next 3 hours, based on my experience.

Many of us are afraid to ride horses, thinking it will make us fall or it will just cause us an accident. But aside from the thrill of excitement that we may experience from it, there are also some other benefits of riding a horse.

It can relieve some stresses and can be therapeutic while moving around and enjoying the view while the cool breeze of fresh air keeps on touching your face.

It can burn calories of approximately 200 calories per 30 minutes of just riding around.

It can develop a good relationship with the nature and animal by taking care of it.

Of course this is the great moment to donned your horse riding outfit like your hat, pants, white polo, equestrian tall boots and vest.

If this is your first time to ride in a horse, have someone who is expert to accompany and assist you.

Sometimes in order for us to have the courage to lose weight is to see someone who successfully fulfilled their goal. Losing weight is hard especially if you don’t have the motivation to do it plus thinking there is no other person who can help you other than yourself only is kinda frustrating sometimes. A support from a friend, family or a personal coach is really helpful but what about those who don’t have, where can they possibly find the strength to push themselves into losing weight or find a confidence that if others can do it sure they can also.

For a starter I am actually motivating myself that I am not getting any younger and a few more years from now surely I can develop any disease inside my body and I don’t want that to happen because my son is still young and we are still planning to add kids in the family. Being healthy aside from physique of our body is the best motivation for starter but reading stories from others who already get through with it is definitely more inspiring too. You may read here my calorie counting diet for my starting point in weight loss journey.

I have been reading weight loss stories recently and I am moved by their struggles to finally been able to defeat it and be successful in the end. Their stories of losing pounds every month or even years is awesome thinking if they can make it why not me. Usually I wanted an instant and immediate result in my transformation but it doesn’t work that way. It just came to my realization that I never been unhealthy or overweight in an instant same as to being healthy or losing weight, it will take time too.

Two of the sites that I always read for successful weight loss stories is from www.shapefit.comand www.cnn.com the stories in this sites came from real people with real results plus you can see their before and after photos which can encourage you to lose weight like they did. You can also pick up some tips and their lifestyle while in the process of their transformation. There are other weight loss stories on the net but this is the only sites I see that is always updated with pictures. If you have any other recommendations please feel free to post it in the comment section.

Graduating university is no small feat. At the very least, it means four extra years of education, and it’s usually intensive, stressful and focused toward a future of success. When your son dons his square cap and receives that degree, you know that the investment y you made in his future will pay off. How could you not be proud on a day like graduation day? When a milestone of this magnitude is met, the recognition must be in kind. That means presents, parents. I’m not talking about Christmas or Channukah style presents, I’m talking about a gesture that encompasses his achievement, your pride, and token to his future. Here are a few ideas that will help guide your way.

A briefcase

Depending on what your son majored in and what his ambitions are will affect likely gifts you might offer. For the blossoming businessman or lawyer, a classy briefcase is perfectly suited. It isn't just an organizational tool, or a means to carry papers, it is a status symbol. His new boss and colleagues will notice how he carries himself and how he carries his things, and they will take him more seriously if he takes himself more seriously. A great briefcase is just that. It’s a message. It’s part of a uniform that advertises excellence and attention to detail. A great one doesn’t have to cost a lot, but it certainly can. One of the great things about getting a briefcase is that you can really find one for any price range.

A Rolex

This isn't for just any graduate. If it were, our GDP would be through the roof and the housing market would never have crashed. In all seriousness though, a Rolex is designed for excellence and it deserves only that. Not only is a Rolex fairly pricey, it is more appropriately gifted to something more elite than a degree. This is in no way me putting down a college degree, I know from experience how difficult they are to attain. However, a Rolex is so exquisite, that it must be relished for the most sacred of milestones. Perhaps a PhD. If you think that your graduate is deserving of such exclusivity, by all means, go to rolex service center or http://thewatchbuyersgroup.com and start your search for the specific one that best suits your boy!

The right graduation gift is a far more than a gift. It’s a statement and a gesture that shows more than pride. It shows hope and optimism for the future as well as confidence that your son has grown into more than just a man but a fully capable adult, ready to excel.

Premiering in 2012, Warner Bros and HBO’s Girls was heralded as the best new show of the year - a fresh, uncompromising and very funny look at life as a 21st century woman. It immediately drew comparisons with Sex and the City, a show that also spoke frankly about being a woman in the late 20th century, with some regarding the two shows as pre- and post-recession versions of the same story. Some have called these comparisons unfair, but it’s actually their differences that make them similar. For instance:

Sex

Both shows feature entirely different views on sex. Sex and the City’s characters never really find themselves having bad sex. The show would play “bad sex” for laughs, a healthy reaction to actual bad sex, but not indicative of the confusion and embarrassment of a bad sexual experience. Girls, on the other hand, presents us with Hannah Horvath’s parade of uncomfortable sexual encounters. Sex and the City glamourised sex - it was fun, naughty. Girls prefers to show it as it often truly is - ungainly and confused - and with male and female bodies that are far from the Hollywood ideal.

Aspirations

Both main characters are writers. Carrie’s writing is a way for her to have the last laugh. When she begins dating a politician, he asks her to indulge his urination fetish. She refuses and he dumps her. Carrie then tells all in her column, exposing his behaviour and, presumably, destroying his political career at the same time. Hannah, comparatively, writes things like, “The worst stuff that you say sounds better than the best stuff that some other people say”, and makes veiled and obscure references about her having HPV in her Facebook statuses.

Outlook

Carrie was a driven, self-assured woman. She exuded confidence and could defuse unpleasant situations with a perfectly-timed one-liner. Hannah is depressed, uncomfortable with her body and always seems to be hoping someone else is in on the joke that is her life. She casts around, praying someone will come to her rescue, cracking unfunny or downright strange jokes, desperate for any levity.

Friendship

Sex and the City’s biggest focal point is Carrie’s relationship with her unfailingly supportive circle of friends, meeting with them to deconstruct their various issues over cocktails. Hannah frequently eschews her friends to hang out with her terrible boyfriend, knowing that makes her a bad friend. Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda are all glamourous, independent women in their own right. Hannah’s friends are as varied as they are unsure of themselves. Some are fickle, others drug addled bohemians; yet another is a naive maths major (and a big SatC fan, in one of the more overt ways Girls tries to distance itself from its network cousin). They are the antithesis of Carrie’s brood but, despite their bickering and unsavoury behaviour, are resolute in their friendship.

Relatability

The biggest difference between these shows is also their biggest similarity - they are about women of different generations and that extends to their fan bases too. Carrie’s girls are in their 30’s. Hannah’s rabble are in their 20’s and Girls’s popularity indicates an entirely new generation of women have found their Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha. They can relate to Hannah’s problems, friends and bad decisions. They can relate to her extremely unsatisfying, embarrassing sex life. And that’s the precise effect Sex and the City had on its fans - they were able to see themselves in these four feminine paragons and it brought them into that world in a way other shows could not.

Those are just a few thoughts on how alike Sex and the City and Girls really are when you start to boil it right down. What do you think? Do you agree or disagree? Are you a Hannah or a Carrie? Sound off in the comments below! Sex and the City Seasons 1 - 6 and Girls Season 1 and 2 are available now on DVD from Warner Bros.Home Entertainment.

The no rice diet.

Most of us have tried every measure to lose weight and I am no exception for that. I’ve been trying this kind of diet for almost 5 months now but I sometimes failed because the temptation is very high especially if you were eating together with friends or relatives. Luckily for me I still loss some inch and of course weight too but not really drastically. I started 60 to 62 kilos before doing this diet and now I am ranging from 54 to 56 kilos and sometimes fall into 52 kilograms too, and yes for me it is effective.

In Asian countries like us, rice is the staple food in the table and it gives us energy for day to day needs of our body. But too much consumption of rice can lead to weight gain and other health complications like diabetes and etc. And according to Doc. Willie T. Ong lessening the intake of rice is advisable for our health and for diet too.

The simple rule in no rice diet is to eat anything other than rice and you can still have the energy you need from your other food intake. Of course you should not exceed in the calories your body needs in order to maintain your weight or lesser calories to lose some weight. So if you need 1200 calories everyday to lose weight you should eat any foods that can fill this calorie. There’s a calorie counting app that you can use to monitor your calories which is MyFinessPal.

Celebrity who practices this diet is Kris Bernal who practically eliminate rice in her diet resulting her to a very thin physique than she used to be.

Beautiful, carefree skin is what everyone desires. Some people are lucky enough not to have to try so hard, whereas others have been faced with a constant battle their entire lives. No matter who you are, or what state your skin is in at the moment, try incorporating the following five tips to get you on track to clear, carefree skin.

1. Keep it Natural

Often the products that make skin irritated are the ones filled with too many additives and artificial ingredients. Natural products such as soaps, oils and creams from an eco-friendly retailer such as Biome could be just what you need if your skin needs more earthy influence rather than highly manufactured goods. Honey, coconut and rose-hip oils are common natural choices all aimed at repairing and revitalising your skin.

2. Wash and Scrub

Each day your skin will build up countless surface germs, none of which are particularly healthy for it. The longer you leave things like sweat and dirt on the skin, the more likely it is to cause irritation. For shower time, avoid wash products with too many additives, and use a natural fibre loofa brush to scrub away.

3. You Are What You Eat

You may have heard this countless times, but what you put into your body affects your overall health, including what your skin looks like. Foods high in vitamin A, C and E are a must for healthy skin. These power houses are responsible for things like collagen production, protecting your skin cell membranes, and even repairing skin tissue. Look for foods like almonds, oranges, broccoli and carrots to get you started. Vitamin supplements won’t go astray either, and make sure to drink plenty of water every day.

4. Protect It

UV radiation is one of the worst things you can expose your skin to, and it’s made even worse by the fact that a lot of the damage doesn’t show itself until years later. It’s not uncool to wear sunscreen anymore, so make sure you put on plenty when you’re outdoors, and reapply it regularly. It only takes a few minutes of direct sunlight during peak hours in summer to start causing damage.

5. Moisturise

If you ever want to have subtle, glowing skin, you have to moisturise, from head to toe, every day. Don’t just use any moisturiser though, as everyone has different skin types and sensitivities. Try a couple of different products on small sections of your skin first to see which feels the best. It’s also important to note what the season is, as thicker moisturisers are usually needed in winter to cope with drier skin.
Lifestyle habits and genetics do play a significant role in whether or not you have good skin, but it doesn’t automatically mean all is lost if you happen to be sitting in the negative category. By following some of the above tips you will find your skin more in balance and your overall confidence boosted because of it.
What do you feel might be some of your worst lifestyle habits that are contributing to your bad skin? Write your answers below.

Hi guys it’s been a while since I posted here and it’s also been awhile since the last time that I bought beauty products in Watson. The reason that I bought this item is maybe I need some replacement to my current beauty product or maybe I get excited that finally there’s a new SM mall near in my place here in Cabanatuan City.

So without further ado here’s the list of what I bought:

Careline Magic Lipstick in Swag

This magic lipstick comes with vitamin e in it. The color will be from pinkish to bright red and its very moisturizing on lips. I bought this so I can use it as a base of any lipstick that I use. Hoping it can be a back-up color when my lipstick color on top comes off during drinking or eating.

Price is Php 75.00

Ever Bilena color pencil in black

Its weird that this pencil doesn't have any description whether it is for eyeliner of for eyebrow lining (nag-rely na lang ako sa saleslady i am looking for eyeliner kasi and at the same time for tightener). I plan to practice to draw a line over my eyelash but I guess I will never learn how, so its a waste for me.

Price is Php 65.00

Nichido eyebrow gel

I thought that this this is a clear mascara when I pick it up not until I got home that it was for eyebrow and not for eyelash. Anyway I did buy this to make a DIY for eyebrow mascara which is kinda coincident somehow hehehe. I plan to put some color of dark eyeshadow to make it eyebrow mascara.

Price is Php 65.00

Marionnaud N 38 Slanted eyeline & eyebrows double side brush

Finally I find this brush for my bushy brows. I also use this to brush to comb my eyelash when it clumps with thickened mascara.

Price is Php 59.75

IN2IT Lash Extra Mascara in MLX 01 very black fibre

This one is just a sudden purchase (alam nio ung gusto mo lang magtry ng trial and you like the result tapos there's a voice in your head that you need to buy it). I love the result when I try it and according to packaging it has a nylon fibre mascara to build volume and significantly extend eyelashes. I try to combine it with my all time favorite Maybelline Volume express mascara and it was amazing, it looks like I wear falsies. But after buying this unfortunately my maybelline mascara finally give up. I will try to make a review for this so please stay updated here.

Price is Php 299.75

Here's the total amount of my beauty purchace:

1. Careline Magic Lipstick in Swag - Php 75.00

2. Ever Bilena color pencil in black - Php 65.00

3. Nichido eyebrow gel - Php 65.00

4. Maronnaud N 38 Slanted eyeline & eyebrows double side brush - Php 59.75

5. IN2IT Lash Extra Mascara in MLX 01 very black fibre - Php 299.75

Total of Php 564.50

Please let me know your thoughts about this products, some feedback and etc on the comment below.

I think every girl now has been looking and raving for BB creams every now and then. There’s a BB cream to be trash and some to keep and use. My advice before buying BB cream is to find first some review online (tulad ngayon, sana ma-appreciate mo ang blogpost na ito) or to try and swatch them before buying. I only look for a cheaper one so it will not hard for me if suddenly I don’t like it anymore.

The BB cream that I bought last week is Nichido BB cream in color 02 skin, I think this is the second lightest of the color and it has 4 shades by the way (you can definitely find suitable color for your skin). According to its packaging it has an all in one beauty balm for a youthful looking and radiant complexion. You can read also in front: skin lightening, lifting, moisturizing, soothing and color corrector. And for me I think this BB cream cannot fully cover my blemish maybe that’s why Nichido called it beauty balm instead of blemish balm. This sell Php 238.00 in Watson.

So without further ado here’s my before and after pic of using Nichido BB cream:

bare

with nichido bb cream

with make up on op of nichido bb cream

PROS:

-very lightweight on skin

-it can lessen redness

-it makes my skin lighter

-it lightens dark circle around the eye

-minimal smell (actually wala syang amoy pag nasa skin na)

-not shiny unlike other cheaper bb creams

-suitable for dry skin (I have combination skin)

-packaging is good

-available locally

CONS:

-20 ml only (should be at least 30 ml for its price)

-pricey compared to other local bb cream (should be less than 200 pesos)

-it cannot hide blemishes like pimple scars, dark spot (use concealer with it)

All in all I like this BB cream especially for everyday use (kaya siguro tinawag na "every day wear" ng nichido) and I would like to give this 8 out of 10 rank and recommendation. I have dry skin patches but it doesn't show after putting this on, I'll update this post as soon my skin becomes oily.

So that's it, if you already use this product you may want to give your feedback and experience below at the comment section. Thank you!

Hey guys, yesterday I went to mall and scout for affordable oil blotting sheet for my face. You may wonder what does oil control sheet does to our face and this is what I know; Oil control sheet or oil blotting paper is a really thin sheet of paper (basically transparent) that absorbs oil to our face. You may also suggest why not use tissue paper instead of this special sheet for our face. Well tissue paper is good but the problem is it also absorbs the foundation or bb cream that we put to our face leaving some awkward color or noticeable cake in our face. It only absorbs oil and it’s no use to absorb sweat in our face. Oil control sheet is very beneficial when you are in a special occasion like wedding, birthday or even party and you do not have to retouch or put some makeup again.

And here is the Silk Secret Oil Control Sheet that I bought from Watson and it cost Php 45.00 or $1 for 100 sheets (pretty cheap right).

Below is my before and after picture of using Silk Secrets Oil Control Sheet. I did this first impression and review while riding on the public passenger jeep (maraming lakad, mainit, at mainit din sa loob ng jeep) so I can attest to its oil absorbing power. For my face I wear Nichido BB cream (click the link for my review of Nichido BB cream), FS two way cake foundation and some Nichido final powder (while trying their powder in Watson).

Here’s the sheet for 1^st try but I ended up using two sheets because of my too much oiliness that day:

PROS:

Very cheap

It has 100 sheets

Cute packaging and very handy

Available in all Watson

CONS:

Sheets are so small (I need two sheets to fully absorbs the oil in my face)

My Verdict:

Although it absorbs oil in my face I am still unsatisfied with using only one because maybe of my big round face. I wish that this sheet is much bigger so that there is no need for another sheet. It has 100 sheets but you need two every time you use it and summarize to 50 usages only. My recommendation would be 7 out of 10 only and if you ask me if I will buy this product again my answer would be no for I will try branded one even if it is a little bit pricey. Anyway I will update this post if I had only minimal oil in my face to give this product the benefit of doubt.

That’s it, and if you have any recommendation for a better oil blotting sheet please don’t hesitate to comment below or if you already use this product and it works for you please do share it in the comment section. Bye and thanks for reading!

Hey guys, do you have lots of hair fall after taking a bath or when you have to comb your hair in a hurry. Well I do and it looks like I had a cancer or something sick that makes anyone scare and worry about my health simply because I just comb my hair (joke only I'm just exaggerating). And if you also suffer the same dilemma then I guess you need to read the rest of this post.

Here’s what you need:

-Towel (to remove excess water from hair)

-Comb with big teeth and space from each other.

-Electric fan

Here’s what you will do to prevent lots of hair fall:

1. remove excess water from your hair with towel

2. face the electric fan (the fan will blow dry your hair, it will also gives volume to your hair)

3. lay your hair in-front of the fan while combing it.

4. start from the bottom of your hair (don’t start combing in the middle part of your hair or near the root.

5. slowly raise your combing if the hair from where you start begins to untangle

6. if your hair becomes damp or nearly dry you can now flip your hair in the back while facing backward in the fan but still combing

tada....

finish product lol

With this process you can prevent more hair fall from your hair although it is not 100 % free hair fall at least the number is not significance from before.

See the result, it works for me, yahoo!

lesser hair fall

Conclusion:

I think that with vigorous combing the more hair fall I get (especially when I'm in a hurry) while following the steps above I got lesser hair plus my hair feels alive and volumize (hindi na sya flat na parang dinilaan ng kalabaw hehe).

Note: I don't recommend the frequent use of hair blower that has heat on it or shampooing your hair with warm water because it will only prone to more hair fall. Skip shampooing if you are in a hurry.

Ever since I learn how to use the Google to find the answer about anything, weight loss is my number 1 in my queries. And actually I am willing to stash some cash for my weight loss if it means shortcut and no struggle. But I think you need also to make a research about the weight loss product if it really works before you buy it or waste your money for a crappy one.

Below is the weird product I found online that promises weight loss:

1.Magnet Silicone Ring

– it is actually a magnet coated by a silicone in a ring and you need to put it in your toes. It promises change in metabolism process, adjust endocrine system, increasing blood flow and etc. Seriously, how can one lose weight with this thing and how come magnet works with non-metal. I just can’t see the sense of it to work and adjust the metabolism of our body.

2. Abdominal Respiration Device

– they say it is abdominal breathing exerciser and is a breakthrough product for respiratory fitness training, which works to improve the strength of your lungs and slim your waist, face, and reduce abdomen. Whoah, this one makes sense but can’t you do it also without this gadget by contracting your abdominal muscle in and out.

3. Slimming Patch

– this one promises you lo lose weight by just putting it in your belly. Its main ingredients are Sophoricoside, Catechin, Capsaicin, Caffeine, Sallcornia herbacaa. The only familiar for me is caffeine that can be found also in coffee and tea but the rest I had no idea.

4. Slimming Navel Stick Magnetic Weight Loss

– this seems like slimming patch in no.3 but uses magnet like in no.1. I don’t know what is the logic behind this weight loss product, does magnet play important role in slimming? If it does why don’t we just grab any magnet and put it in out body.

5. Slimming Vibration gadget

– it looks like this one works like a massager in parts of your body. But the question is will you lose weight or develop muscle gain using this one?

I actually find all these products in Aliexpress and all of them sell like a hotcake base on their feedback. All my opinion here is purely from my logical sense although I find it weird; it may or may not work for those people who purchase these products. So do your own assignment and investigate before you buy them. And maybe you are wondering if it is safe to order from Aliexpress my answer is yes just find the right seller that has a good feedback ( Ang binili ko nga pala ay cellphone case ng Mi3 dahil bihira lang ang nagbebenta nito sa Pinas ).

That's it! If you have any suggestions, feedback, critic, correction just comment it below. Hope you enjoy this post. Bye!

All I want for Christmas is to lose more weight hehehe, right now I am weighing 52 to 55 kilograms. I put the bracket because every time I weigh myself the result is up and down from that number. But I am hoping that next time I weigh in it will be close to 50 kilogram next year (para mas malapit sa katotohanan). I am really determined since I already lost some weight from my starting of 60 kilogram when I start to lessen my intake calories plus some home work out.

my current frame

Here’s what my usual food in my diet:

1. Sweet potato – has 86 calories per 100 grams and I usually bought 1 kilograms of this which I can consume for almost 2 days (tipid di ba).

2. Hard boiled egg – has an average of 78 calories, but I seldom eat this not only it has higher cholesterol content I sometimes distaste it (nakakasuya, umay, sated)

3. All meat and chicken - no need to explain this aside from its protein content I love it.

4. Pandaysal (for foreign reader it is a Filipino kind of bread called pandesal but has a moringa o malungay leaves which has many benefits in health)

5. Green tea – anti oxidant and helps metabolism to work faster (basta magaling daw itong magpapayat)

6. Water melon – I love love love water melon it is a great substitute too for craving sweets plus it makes me full (kahit ito lang kainin ko habang buhay okay na okay lang ako hehehe)

7. All vegetable recipe – especially pinakbet recipe without rice (read my no rice diet article for more of this)

8. Kankunis tea – a laxative tea that promises to lose weight but it’s not the reason that I take this; it’s the effect to take a bowel in the morning (especially pag naparami ang nakain ko ng nakaraan, it feels I disposed all of it in the morning, wait for my review of this)

9. C-Lium Fibre – just starting to take this

10. Apple Cider Vinegar – usually in the morning which helps me drink more water in the morning

11. Water (pinaka-matipid sa lahat)

I think this is all I can think of right now and I will update this post and add some if I recall foods in my diet that can help me lose weight, feel fuller and energize at the same time. And if you have some ideas and suggestions that are effective to help me lose weight then write it below in the comment section. Bye (kaya ko to, kailangang kayanin ko, hindi pwedeng hinde, wish me luck).

A merry merry Christmas to me because today I just found a stiletto like shoes for beginners and it is a Karmen pump of Comfort Plus by Predictions that I bought in Payless store which recently opened their shop near in my place (lucky me). Actually I had no plans in buying this baby heels but when I tried it I knew I had to buy it, I fell in love with it which is super duper comfortable on my feet and it feels like I am wearing my running shoes that has heel in it (excuse my oa reaction can’t help it lol). I haven’t had any closed heel before because I’m afraid to get stumble when walking with it, but promise this shoe will not fail me in the future.

payless, Karmen, pump, Comfort Plus, Predictions

This Karmen pump costs Php 995.00 and I chose nude color that can match outfit from casual to semi-formal wear. It has 2 ½ inches high heel which is good for girls who just starting to wear heels and want to get used on heel.

According to its label:

memory foam insole – cradles foot for lasting comfort, which I already experienced while trying out their already break in display which really comfortable around my toes.
flexible outsole– for natural movement, and I can actually dance and run with it
natural shape– for comfortable fit

For me this brand that claimed to have a comfort while wearing is true to their marketing offer and should be followed by local brands that also sell with the same price (or equally expensive price) but disappoints you when already wearing it.

when wear

Pros:

-very comfortable (lalo na sa hindi sanay mag-heels katulad ko)
-can easily break in (kakabukas lang ng store na ito pero ung size ng display maluwag na compared sa stock)
-looks durable and it seems really durable (did I make sense heheh)
-simple design but very classy
-can match jeans, pants, skirt
-very sexy to wear (feeling Kathryn Bernardo or Jane Oneiza ang peg pag suot mo ito)
- half sizes are available
-easily to maintain and clean

Cons:

-a little bit pricey
-shop in the country is limited (but they will soon open an online store)

My recommendation is 9 out of 10 for this pump and mind you there is no need for me to wear foot socks or stockings to secure comfort for longer hours of wearing it. So if you are looking for a heel for your event this one is bang for the buck (tama ba ang idiom ko, correct me if I am wrong sa comment section, pati na rin ang mga wrong grammar and conjuction)

Erase Anti-acne / Depigmenting solution

Hi guys, I just want to share with you my review with Erase solution. Actually I have been using this for years and always present in my beauty kit. It actually lightens my scars but not literally erasing it since I can still see the cut in the skin that are already heal. Scars from wound or cut usually leave the skin a darker color when healed and this product turn that color into a lighter color.

I bought the smaller roller that has 7 ml in it which I purchased at Watson for Php 99.00 and I think this is also available in all drugstores and department store. In the package it says Tretinoin UK Derm Erase 250mcg/ml Anti-acne and depigmenting solution for scars, wrinkles, pumples, freckles, stretchmarks, dark elbows and knees. In the back of the package it says: UK Derm Erase Anti-acne and Depigmenting solution provides peeling action followed by regeneration of new tissues of the ageing skin, improves skin texture thus reducing dryness and fine line. (Basta may tretinoin pang acne usually yan but I never use it purposely for my acne or pimple, I just use this baby mainly for the dark scars).

after

Above is the pic of the scars in my hand that already healed and lightened with the use of erase, sorry I cannot provide the before picture but I assure you that the color of this scar before is super dark skin and very annoying to look at. It is not noticeable now but when I stretch it I can still see the bump that the wound leave.

Pros:

very cheap
available locally
easy to use because it is a roller
no smell
lightens dark scar

Cons:

doesn’t work for keloids, stretch mark, wrinkles and freckles (anyway di ko naman sya talaga ginagamit para doon kasi kakaunti lang naman ang laman eh, mauubos agad)
the lightning effect on dark scar will take time (tyagaan lang talaga)

My verdict:

My recommendation is 9 out of 10 and is highly recommended since it is cheap and you can use it for a very long long time (promise).
