A New Year A New BUM!! - Victoria Secret Butt Exercise -

Rocking undies with Victoria Secret Butt Exercise

Watching a Victoria Secret Fashion show vid can be a rather... FASCINATINGLY beautiful butt experience! LOL... Ever wondered what ~heck~ of exercise do these super-lengluis do to be able to rock-out in just undies on the runway? (Okay, please sway your attention away from the boobs for now... sheesh...)

Oh well.. as usual... you don't just miraculously transform overnight and get a new butt each time you read posts like this.... DUH... Rather, please be good, watch the video from the link below and WORK-IT-OUT! It's 2013 and iwannabelenglui's New Year Resolution is --> Getting a rockable butt! LOL... at least we know that this is somehow achievable as compared to gaining a cup size or 2 on the boobs area... muahahahaha.... hard work is all it takes lenglui!

New wishlist item #1 - FitFlop flip flops

I bet you lengluis have seen these around... FitFlop, Sketchers ToneUp, Sketcher's ShapeUp... hmmm... whatever them shoes/sandals/flip flops that claims to tone your butt and calves. Tone butt??? Woooooohoooo... I want...!!! LOL...

There are loads of mix reviews on these. Some people say they work, some say they don't, some say there's soreness between their toes and some complains about them being bad for the lower back and knees... Even some celebrities swear by them! Oh, and.. they are bloody pricey for a pair for flip flops or sneakers though...

Whatever it is... either of them are still on my #1 wish item  for now... LOL.... Discipline-discipline..  sugar_cupcakes is staying real clever and is doing more research on this before actually deciding to purchase them. Heck... they look kind of funky... so... that's my first review for now... And, the research continues...

See this reviews by fellow bloggers:

• http://www.beetricesreviews.com/2010/08/fitflop-pietra-makes-my-heart-do-fit.html

P/S - If any of you lengluis have been walking in these, do comment. Would appreciate it! (^o^)

Update 25th January 2011:

• And... sugar_cupcakes finally got one of these (electra bronze)... hohohohoho...
• Lets give it a month before I put up a proper review on this... 

Update 24th March:

• I figured 3 months should be enough to review this
• Definitely some improvement in the thigh area.. (Yeah... i checked the rear... LOL)
• But not sure if its because of this or that I've been doing lots of moving about lately
• Though, I do have one conclusion on this... sugar_cupcakes love em FitFlops!!
• Why? Cos they are mighty comfortable and feels like a little spring when you walk! 
• If you walk around the shopping malls a lot... the thighs and bum seems to come into contact a lot when you walk. Hmm... maybe that's where some workout goes...
• Remember to get the style that fits you most. Different designs fit differently depending on your feet shape regardless if the size is right
• Oh and... you'd definitely feel the pinch in you wallet when you get this... Imagine... RM260++ for a pair of slippers... Ouch......

The BUTT Pillow - For firmer shapelier butt... lol

Emm... hahahaha... Some people are crazy shoppers... Then, you have the crazy buyers... But then again... I think I owe it to myself to actually blog about this - This is not a crazy purchase... I'm just CURIOUS... Honest! LOL...

Introducing the BUTT PILLOW! Hohoho... I've had this for about 2 years and its been sitting on my office chair for that long! Looks kinda cute... But colleagues has been totally curious about the hole in the middle! Don't ask me why>>>??? I DON'T KNOW... hahahahhaha...

What the advert says (http://www.japantrendshop.com):

Say “sayonara” to secretary spread, the Beauty Bottom Cushion from Cogit promises to maintain and encourage a shapely bum while you work. Sound too good to be true? This chair cushion works by guaranteeing correct posture, properly aligning your pelvis and spine, which in turn ensures that your bottom muscles become, and stay, taut enough to bounce a 100 yen coin off of.

Conclusion:

• No, I don't think my butt became taut enough to bounce any coin off it... (--)"
• Was hoping that I never got out-of-shape butt with this (with the hours I spend on my butt in the office... god knows I need this... lol)
• Umm... I think its kind of an accessory for me since the office chair looks kind of dull...
• I've had this for 2 years. If I'm still having butt issues, is this working?! You tell me... haahahhaa
• Its pretty nice cushion to sit on though...  :p

Japan Hip Make Bra

TADA!!! Shape your butt with...

Okiee... while bras are for keeping your boobs in shape... Ever heard of the "Hip Make Bra"?? Hohohoho... sounds like some grammatically incorrectly named item huh? But.... yet again sugar_cupcakes went into some research frenzy on this and finally decided to get one... Hey, it was easily affordable at RM13.90 from Yokosho (or online at http://www.bebeauty4u.com/goods.php?id=375 or hey, just google!) and even cheaper if you do purchase it online.

I'm not going to explain what it does... see the before and after and you'll understand. Huhuhuhuhu.. (^o^)


Conclusion:

• comfortable and you'd forget you're wearing it
• YES, it does shape your butt
• Umm.. I'm not sure if this will ever shape your butt permanently... hahaha.. you wish..
• Come on, what can I say? Its affordable and worth the try!
• This is definitely a keeper!

Cellulite busting cream?? Lets put Fisioline to the test... hohoho...

Crackle your way to cellulite no more!

So umm... I watched this: (click to watch)


Have any of you lengluis seen the new cellulite busting mousse in Guardian pharmacies lately? This is apparently some Italian innovation on busting cellulite. Imagine... "Italiano celluliteyo begone! begone!" LOL. The before after pics on the booth is screaming try-me-try-me!!!



Personally, I don't like the packaging... I mean... duh... You need to look appealing to attract lengluis! But what the heck... the before-after pic on the booth was enough to get me interested. lol... Tsk tsk tsk... no discipline...

Okay, so if any of you lengluis tried it already... TELL ME TELL ME!! Come on... share your scoop... lol... you can stay anonymous like me... hahahahaha...

fisio[line] Cellulite mousses works in 5 key ways:

• Reactivates the microcirculation
• Draining effect
• Anti-oxidant effect
• Smoothes and soothes the skin
• Stimulates the metabolism

Okiee.. so I Googled for reviews on this. Surprisingly, Japanese lengluis love this product. Hmm.... lets wait a while before I make my purchase... heheheehe.. Meanwhile.. you can read google translated reviews on Fisioline ...

Japanese lengluis reviews
A vid on a Jap lenglui using the product
Dutch site on the product
Fisioline official site

Retails for about RM129 in KL local pharmacies.. I'm not sure about other countries though.. Ask Uncle Google, he'll know! I'll update this when I finally try it out! huhuhuhu... should be anytime soon...

Update:

• Started my first application last night (at obvious cellulite areas)... lol... excited..!
  
• The crackling feels good on the skin...
• But umm... I could get same after-feel with cheaper cellulite gels..
  
• Subtle grapefruit fragrance
• Lets see what this does after 2 weeks

Update after a month 8th Oct 2010:

• Aww man.. I religiously use this twice a day.. EVERYDAY! (so hardworking huh?)
  
• Still... cellulite's pretty obvious
  
• But.... I guess its pretty nice to use with crackle and all
• If you're tight on budget... just get any normal/reputable cellulite cream for a fraction of the price... Results are similar..
• Any massaging on area definitely helps!
• Nope... this is not going in my fav list of stuff...
  

Butt issues for sports?? - Nike Perfect Fit -

A fit for all bums....

My-my... do they understand women... Go watch it... hahahhahahhaaa...

Yeah... so, working out has kind of been a part of life since yoga...
But you know... its really a hassle to look great WHILE working out. Since you're going down the sweaty tortures route... (Yeah, I'm not exactly a fan of exercise lol) If you do it in the privacy of your own home... yeah... wearing your PJs is going to be OK. But... getting tortured and all sweaty strutting about in awkward poses in a public gym, is no-go.

Okay, I think its always no probs to look normal in a gym. No, I don't think its necessary to wear make up while working out. Geez, plain looking is fine. But walking around with a tight-fitting pants on your kookier than normal butt.... uh-huh.... think of fleshy folds of buns or the never-been-there ass?

I guess if you have a nice firm-toned ass like umm... Jessica Alba, you shouldn't be reading this post now... go away... hahahhahahahha....

Okay... the trick is to look for the perfect (there's no prefect... trust me... hahahaha) pants that gives the illusion of a passable butt.... So umm... what's this post about?

No, I'm not really promoting Nike Perfect Fit Workout Capris... I think they are bloody-hell overpriced for just sweating out actually. But hey, that didn't stop me from getting one... hahhahaha... But, also, this just shows how fitness brands are well aware of little trivial stuff women are so conscious of. I think, this does camouflage your less-than-perfect butt to at least looking plain normal. If you can actually get a pants that do this... cooooooool..........

• low wider waist
• thicker material at the butt area
• comfortable fit
• classic cut designs (no fancy dodgy cuts)
• pricey
  

Looking good while working out = Motivation to actually get our bum off the couch

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...

To be continued...

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..
  

Body Shapers / Slimming Wear

Tummy + Hip + Leg Shaping Pants

My hips and butt has always been a problem. No matter how much food I down... I will never gain much weight above or below my hips... All the bad stuff... they go to the hips and butt... The rest.. remains pretty much the same. I don't know if you call that lucky for a food lover... lol... no.. you don't consider someone who's pear-shape lucky. Its always hard to get nice pants that fit you. And... you can kiss goodbye to nice skimpy bikini bottoms or pretty little thongs and g-strings.. they'll look ridiculous on you... lol..

So now, okay... I'm not complaining about being pear-shape or bottom heavy.
All I'm saying is that... I wanna be wearing a thin tightly fitted skirt or dress or pants confidently... So here's to Googling:

Was browsing through this site by a seller names Sherry... She brings in stuff from Taiwan and sells online in her site:

And... I saw this!
http://myprettywomen.com/goods.php?id=297

so umm... as usual... it was real tempting so I just went on to get one...

Conclusion:

• say hello to nice looking butt (even though its partly faked... lol)
• trust me.. its really difficult to get yourself into a slimming wear... imagine... squeezing yourself into something thats 1/4 of your usual size... hahhahhaha
• but eventually when you get yourself into it... its surprisingly quite snug. Not uncomfortable like what you'd expect
• but... don't have it on for over 3 hours... you're going to start feeling uncomfortable
• perfect! for wearing tight fitting pants or dresses.. hehehehehe... nice pushed up but... and slimmer looking thighs..
• quite affordable so get one just for that skimpy butt sticking dress! (but uh-huh... get a good one since I heard those cheap lousy quality ones are mighty uncomfortable to be sitting in)
  

I Hate Cellulites - cellulites be gone

I hate cellulite. (period)

Life's unfair. Why are women more prone to cellulite? Why isn't there a miracle cream that zaps cellulite away? (Okay, forget laser - that's too $$$ extreme for me). So when I decided that enough was enough... it was time... to combat those unsightly curdles below my butt.

After some several hours of research, I realize... no amount of miracle cream/gel is going to get rid of them cellulite. So what would help?


Fake a tan
- darker skin tend to hide cellulite well, especially if you do want to hang out at the beach in a bikini. I think, I don't mind a tan butt!!! lol
- I got the Loreal Sublime Bronze self tanning gel from UK cos this can be applied on both face and body. Alternately, you can try "Jiffy Tan" by Benefit or other tanning products for the body....
- tolerable scent
- easy to use but... you gotta stay garment-free for 1 hour till it dries completely to avoid streaking.. Imagine.. staying naked for 1 hour worrying that if you sit or do anything... its gonna just streak or stain the chair/bed.. (--)"





Get a Cellulite Massager
- cellulite massagers are commonly sold everywhere
- I got mine from Watsons.
- Lather up and massage at problem areas during shower
- Yes, this helps! So do it!





Take Collagen Supplements
- collagen strengthens our connective tissue... so... ditto
- see my Kinohimitsu J'pan Beauty Drink blog

Invest in cellulite cream/gel/serum
- Its all in the mind... Its all in the mind.... Mentally helps us fight cellulite... lol
- Believe it or not... combined with the above attempts... the appearance of the cellulite below my bum was reduced. At least something is working...

Sana Esteny Hip and Leg Gel

- requested Lengcai to get this from Tokyo... Imagine... he has to show the pic to some Jap uncle at the store...










Lengcai: Hello mister... err... do you sell this? (showing pic of Sana Esteny in mobile phone)
Japanese Uncle: Summimasen?? Hmm... aaaaa..... oooo... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa SO!!!!
Lengcai: (this is soooo embarrassing... kill me... kill me now.....)
Japanese Uncle: Arigato! Arigato!! (the kids got cellulite?? LOL)

- relatively cheap
- hot tingling sensation
- smells like orange peel
- skin feels smooth after application


Yves Rocher 3D Body Definition Serum
- mum got this for me..
- claims to transform bumpy, orange-peel skin into an ultra-smooth texture in just 7 days
- Forgotten how much this was. Definitely < RM100
- Not much feeling on my butt... and the smell is irritating although its actually lightly scented. but, I think this works better than the Sana one! Cos the bumpy texture on my butt seems to be less visible... Hmm... then again... maybe its the massager...
