Nice BUTT? - Wakeboarding for fast results... lol

pic sourced from http://www.wakeboard.com.my/

Seriously... I've been wanting to write about this since my one and only trial of wakeboarding... YOU WILL GET A TONED FIRM BUTT WITH REGULAR WAKEBOARDING!! I am not kidding. And the only reason I'm saying this is because - when friends and I got home from wakeboarding, our butt muscles hurt like crazy!!!! HAHAHHAHAHA.... Believe all you want... But... man.... imagine your butt hurting even when you try to squat or sit... So... there can be only one conclusion to this... wakeboarding seriously work out the bum area!!! Forget squats and lunges... I could never get my butt area to hurt this much with 20 squats or 20 lunges... But one short session of wakeboarding and after a day.... Man.... before you can say... you go girl.... If you want quick results (and escaping having to do squats and lunges)... TRY WAKEBOARDING.... Though... emm... be warned... not for the faint-fitted... lol... I don't have a nice butt... but... I think I'll stick to the occasional lunges and squats for now... I don't have that much pain tolerance or fitness discipline... lol...

AlQVIMIA Bust Volume Oil - Boob oil?? Sigh... not again.... crazy women...

Recently, a gf and I stumbled upon this brand which I have to admit... I've often passed by a couple of time but just never got to look or try on. There's just so many other more important stuff at the moment... like getting rid of acne and probably brushing up on my scripting since.. I'm supposedly a programmer after all... lol....

ALQVIMIA claims to produce high quality essential oils all of which is handmade from Spain. And... these oil supposedly contains "chi" which is energy vital for our well-being... Read more on ALQVIMIA here. Now, the oils from ALQVIMIA are really... comparably better in quality than the massage oils from The BodyShop... But heck... there's the price difference so I guess that should shut me up about the quality for now. But yeah... since this post is more on increasing bust volume...
I've only bought the 17ml bottle to try before deciding on whether this is worth the full bottle buy. Primarily.. I've gotten lazy and haven't been doing anything to the bust area since emm.. my breakout started. I haven't even touched the "Hai Sun Foong Pump" in ages! So I guess... yeah... sadly... I stayed back to B. Heck... I just had to deal with the acne first... Boobs comes later... lol....

So yeah... I won't be updating this anytime soon until I've finished the whole 17ml bottle. In the mean time... all I can say is... this is worth the buy so much more than the SlimFit Bust Oil that costs way more. And... the ingredients are almost the same. Heck... they even smell the same!

Gone are the cellulite days.....

Hey, what about a nice BUM for a change?
(okay-okay... this will come later..)

A couple of weeks ago... my mum bought back something for me... again... its for the cellulite... It took me a while before deciding to blog on the Yves Rocher Spa Energie Slimming Massage Oil. Duh... obviously I wanted to know if it helps before I take my time to blog on it... lol... I know- I know... lazy women... Before you read this... go read my previous blog on cellulite...



You know... if you're not too busy handling more important stuff in your life... I think its good to find some time, perhaps 5-10 minutes each day after shower to do some massaging on cellulite prone areas. Believe me... it does help a little... I would really like to post up a before-after picture of my cellulite-busting regime... but... hahahahaa... shy la!

Of course there are the lengluis who are cellulite prone due to genetics and most of the time weight issues. But... being on the heavy side or having a family history of cellulite doesn't mean nothing is going to help get rid of your cellulite 'cept for liposuction...

Have some discipline... massaging with a good serum or oil WILL reduce the appearance of cellulite. Heck... these days... beauty tech has advance by way loads... so yes, MASSAGING helps! Even if you decide to go for those cellulite courses in the beauty saloons, the beauticians are gonna have to do the same.. massage your problem area...

Back to the Massage Oil...
Conclusion:

• Smells pretty relaxing... (I guess that's the Scutellaria Root extract)
• Used with a cellulite massager...
• I'm bottom heavy used to be with loads of cellulite beneath the bum area at the thighs... Massaging with this did help a little... I guess you could say... I'm very a mild case of cellulite now... muahahahahahhaaa... the hard work paid off...
  
• Yes, its lightly greasy like any light-weight oil... but bearable...
• I'm now trying to discipline myself into doing lunges in hopes of toning up the bum and thigh area... But... give me a break... I can't turn into an exercise freak overnight... lol..
  

An Update for the Panda-Girls....

The other day I was researching and purchasing stuff for emm... my skin to cope with allergy breakouts.. I've been a long-time fan of Ettusais makeup (They're a makeup line from Shiseido specially formulated for problematic acne-prone skin)... Only... I hardly ever wear makeup when my skin is acting all nice... So yeah... back to the counter...

So then... I was browsing the Ettusais acne whitening line to get rid of my body scars from allergy acne... And that was when.... I was introduced to the much sourced for medicated under-eye concealer! The Ettusais Eye Zone Tinted Colour Essence. Not only does it proves itself as a concealer... its medicated to help dark circle and puffy eyes too! I think this is something every panda-eyed girl is looking for. Something that conceals while claims to medicate your darkened under-eye area. Even the Malaysian Star paper decided to have a short intro on it:
http://thestar.com.my/lifestyle/story.asp?file=/2009/4/2/lifeliving/3568404&sec=lifeliving

On whether or not it helps to eliminate the dark circle... I really do not know since I've only tried the samples. Besides... I don't have a huge problem with darkened eye zone so I don't qualify to blog on this as a dark-circle remedy. Still.... I think its worth the try. Pair this up with the Ettusais Eye Zone Massaging Essence to use for the night. I found many bloggers who raved on this.. but... still none that claims this a miracle cure for dark-cirle and puffy eyes. The search goes on....

Facial Sprays - Are they really worth the buy?

Been neglecting this blog for a while now... (was busy battling acne... lol)

Living in a hot climate encourages crazy skin antics like breakouts. Same goes when you live in cold and dry climate... Then again... same goes everywhere!! lol... For the people who battle with acne... I FEEL YOU! So yeah... lets talk about some facial sprays to calm those itching uncomfortable acne...

Okay... so what's all this craze about facial sprays and mists? Aren't these just water?? I mean okay, there's thermal spring water and spring water and alkaline water and all which claims to do the skin good by increasing your skin's hydration on the outer layer with soothing minerals. But are they really worth the buy?? You see, with the economic situation in the downs and people struggling to earn a living... I think.. there's a need to think twice before splurging on stuff that you don't really need. But yeah... back to the point...



There are several if not many brands of facial sprays and mists that claims to refresh facial skin with spring water (heck... shu uemura has the deep sea mist which lotsa bloggers claim to work wonders) But back to what I've tried so far over the years... Evian, Avene and Uriage. Yeah, so they claim sourced from different locations... with vaguely differing mineral content (the marketing that claims to sooth problematic skin). But still when sprayed on.. feels the same, very refreshing... and calms itching acne... But really... look at my conclusion below:


Conclusion:

• Feels real refreshing (eg; when your acne is itching and the dry/hot weather is not helping, imaging someone spraying cool spring water into your face... fuuuuuu....)
• Calms sensitive skin acne (with all the special mineral content goodness)
  
• Hydrating? Yeah... umm... obviously misting your skin with water is hydrating... what isn't?
• Worth the buy? I think... rather than purchasing by paying for the brand and all research done in producing these special water... you might as well bottle up your own facial mist. Aerosol spray cans are not exactly eco friendly either... Unless you can afford to have spring water for drinking, cleansing and your basic daily water needs, buying a can to spritz on each time you need a refresher isn't really going to fix your skin problems.

For me, I just bottle up simple mineral filtered water (lets say Diamond or Hexagon or water from a good water ioniser like the Panasonic one) into a spray bottle with nozzle that sprays out ultra fine mists. There you go... our skin may not get those special mineral content from the mountain spring or a deep sea... But heck... good clean healthy filtered water will do just fine..

Geeting a Tan online? Wow....

Can you believe this? You can actually get a tan online.... I mean... by just sitting in front of your pc monitor... Whoaaa... I didn't think that was possible... I got the news from BellaSugar site.. (Hehehe... sister site of my fav celeb gossip site PopSugar) Coolnesssssssssssss.... Maybe I should actually try this... lol.... Then again... maybe I'll just play out in the sun for a while and slather on lotsa sunblock...
