Everyday health and beauty

Another piece of dress. It’s my favorite color — white again. Actually it’s off white, beige in color. Nice cutting and beautiful design. And, I only pay RM 29 for it. Absolutely cheap and nice.

In fact, I bought it from the same siamese stall that I mentioned to you 2 days ago. But, the other one in aquamarine certainly has better material. This is just simple, linen type material. Thus, it can be fantastic casual wear.

With such a great bargain, do you think I should get the 3rd piece? Frankly, I am considering. hehe……

Somehow, I seldom wear dress. As you can see, I have bought so many dresses recently. May be it’s enough. Er… I shall say, it’s far more than enough. LOL!

After came back from traveling, I miss massage so much! Traveling is always fun but tiring. But, I really had a great time traveling together with my little princess. Thus, even though it’s tiring, I am still thinking of the Orlando vacations as there are great deals now and it’s just another place that I can enjoy the theme park together with my little girl. Worth it!

Anyway, it’s sad that I got no time for massage therapy. As the whole process from driving to the center, enjoying the massage and driving home later actually take up 3 to 4 hours of my time in total.

May be before I go for my hair wash and blow in the salon later, I can soak myself in hot oat bath for refreshment as the substitute of massage. It’s quite a good idea too, isn’t it?

Oat bath is said to be very soothing for our skin. My brother tried it to sooth his itchiness while having chicken pox. In his opinion, it’s effective. I really need some relaxation. Thus, it has to be hot oat bath.

I post the question of weather we should trust the health supplements yesterday, because of many elderly that seems strong in their old age do not believe in health supplements. However, when we have health problems, certain health supplements actually act like a medication to cure our condition.

For example, I am trying out the “Move Free Advance” to ease my fingers and knees joint pain. I think I had this problem after I gave birth. And, I suspect the knees joint pain is cause by lost of calcium as we commonly learn. But, the fingers joint pain could be cause by “over typing”. As I am always working in front of the computer since my girl was born.

Anyway, both of the condition is quite mild. And, I just started taking this red big pill once a day about few days ago. It’s very expensive. About RM2 to RM 3 per pill. My mum recommend it. She took one bottle which is 140 pills before for her knees joint pain too. She is quite confidant with the effectiveness.

And, I am thinking I have the family record of knees joint pain started from my granny. Thus, I better take care of it since young. So, I tried. I will also keep you update with the result.

Few days ago, It’s my first time wearing this shoes.

I matched it with this dress.

Nice! But, I thought I will certainly look perfect and so “in”, if I even have a bob hair style. Don’t you think so? Then, I will become a typical “Miss Sixties”. Sometimes, there is so much fun to follow the trend. LOL!

I wanted to cut my hair short to try having a bob hair style once since it’s in trend. I want to look like babydolls. Sexy, young and stylish! Somehow, I am just not determine enough to cut my long hair. I afraid that once I cut it short, it’s hard to keep it long again.

Now I am thinking may be I should just buy a bob style wig. What do you think? In my opinion, it’s very convenient. Anyway, I heard that a good wig can be fairly expensive. But, I am still thinking about it! Ha! I will show you if I finally get one.

Recently, I have came across many elderly who seems very healthy compared to others from their age group. As a health conscious individual, I can never forget to ask which supplements are they taking?

Strangely, almost every of them give me the same answer. No. The answer is they don’t take any supplement to maintain their health. In fact, they seems do not believe in supplements at all.

I am confuse. Do all those supplements really do any good for our body? In fact, I have read that overdose of vitamins can damage our health. For example, overdose of:

1) Vitamin C will cause kidney stones, abdominal pain, diarrhea and nausea.

2) Vitamin D will cause kidney stones, muscle weakness, stomach upset and thirst.

3) Vitamin E will cause disruption of other fat soluble vitamins, stomach upset and abdominal pain.

4) Vitamin B6 will cause nerve damage.

And, you can find out more about the danger of excessive vitamin A in our body here.

As the Malaysian society become more educated, many individuals are very health conscious now. And, many started to buy various type of water filters and drink purified water as we learn that drinking unfiltered tap water could be hazardous to our health because of things like parasites, chlorine, fluoride and dioxins.

However, we can always buy good kitchen faucets ad water filter. But, avoid drinking purified water for the long run. Many researches have been done to prove the harmful effects of purified water. Basically, purified water is free of dissolved minerals. Unfortunately, we need these minerals.

When it’s free from dissolved minerals, purified water can actively absorb carbon dioxide. Thus, it tends to be acidic. But, we need slightly alkaline drinking water as when it’s full of minerals. Purified water can only be recommended as a way of detoxification for our body for a short period of time ( a few weeks at a time). Once this is accomplished, the continued drinking of purified water can cause rapid loss of electrolytes and other trace minerals.

Bare in mind that many commercial beverages such as soft drinks are made with purified water. Thus, it’s always healthier to drink more non purified home boiled water.

Finally, I am back form KL. Anyone curious about what I have bought from KL? Oh! I did go shopping. But, empty handed back. So disappointing, aye?

Frankly, this is usual. As most of the shopping malls in KL are always too crowded. Hence, it hard to slowly search for what I like. LOL! I still prefer to shop locally. Penang is the best. Not too crowded. Friendly environment and good bargain. hehe…

Nothing from KL, but I will show you more fashion in Penang. How about something cheap and good?

Guess how much is this piece of fine dress? Good material. Bright color. Shining and fantastic cutting. Young and sexy! Only one setback. Free size. So, guess how much is it? RM 59? RM 79? RM 99? It’s only RM 29 ( about USD 9). Really good bargain isn’t it?

Anyway, it is actually meant to go with tights. It’s the long blouse which in trend now. But, I never like tights. As a dress, it’s just nice for me. Not short at all. And, the rubber band end actually help to hold the dress well. Thus, it can never be blown up as we are passing the street when there is great wind. Hahaha……

We all know that radiation is harmful to our health. Yet, it’s everywhere in our modern lifestyles. From computer monitors, mobile phones, flying in aeroplanes to x-rays or CAT scans.

But, do you know that seaweeds can remove up to 90 percent of radioactive strontium 90 from the intestinal tract? And sodium alginates found in sea vegetables actually chelate the remaining amount out of the bone structure?

In short, seaweed can protect us against radiation. It is one of the most powerful natural radiation eliminator and antioxidants. As it’s rich in antioxidants, it can protect us from the degenerative diseases such as cancer, as well as slow down the aging process.

Normally, we buy life insurance, travel insurance, medical insurance and personal accident insurance as a form of life security. But, we should also take care of our health. It’s definitely another important way of life protection. So, let’s us all start taking the nutritious seaweed.

Do you have the experience of keep buying clothes non stop when you are in the mood for shopping? I guess I am now in this situation. However, I hate myself for keep buying dresses. As I will end up hanging them more them wearing them.

Anyway, I am pretty sure that I have no regret for buying this lovely dinner wear  from “treats”. “treat” is one of the local designer brand in KL. I am glad it is now selling in Penang too. It has nice collections. Good quality and fantastic cuttings.

When I first saw this dress, in my mind I am thinking “This is nothing special”. But, when I put it on, immediately I fell in love with it. It really fits my figure so well and  make me feel so complete and confidant after putting it on. So, better don’t judge anything by its appearance.
I guess may be local designers simply understand the local people and their overall shapes more. Anyway, I really feel so lucky to have it!

Did anyone told you before that the black plastic like sea vegetable that is commonly seen in Japanese food is said to be the most nutritious plant on earth? There are many types of seaweed such as:

• nori
• kombu
• hijiki and,
• arame

Basically, they are all rich in various types of minerals including chromium, zinc, iron, potassium, copper, sulphur, silver, tin, zirconium, phosphorous, silicon, magnasium, manganese, boron, bromides, and lots of other trace minerals necessary for health.

Moreover, these sea vegetables contain at least 20000 percent more iodine than land vegetables. They are also a great source of calcium which is at least 7 times more than milk.

In short, we set up ademco security system to protect our house. And, we include seaweed in our daily meal like the Japanese as a form of health protection.

If you always want to look younger, may be you should grab one of this special edition set from MANGO.

Again, it’s white. And, you can certainly buy them separately. I guess most of you might be interested in the high waist short pants. As it is the latest fashion. Somehow, it’s quite challenging for us to tie the ribbon belt in good shape.

I like Mango. It has very unique design sometimes, especially those with drawings. Most of the material for the top is every fit. However, I think mot Malaysian can only wear the small size. As a result, XS size and S size will finished off so fast. Thus, hard to get unless we happened to be one of the early birds when the fashions first arrived. LOL!

Recently, I have friends asking me how to know which is good among all the skin care products, knowing I am familiar with skin care products. This sounds like a professional and tough question. In fact, the answer is simple. As a lady, we all use skin care products. So, what’s your answer to this question according to your own experience?

First, what will you do while choosing home furniture? You will surely look into its design, its color, concept, material, size, comfortability and durability. In my opinion, buying skin care products is even easier than choosing home furniture.

We just have to look around among our friends. If we see vast improvements on any of their face, then we should grab the one they are using. As simple as that! They already showed us the proven result. We just don’t have to be the white elephant ourselves. Hahaha…

Even though this is supposed to be the best and easiest way to get good skin care products, but it’s better if we can look forward to people who has the same skin type with us. Especially people with sensitive skin should be extra caution. But, the whole process just not as hard as you think, isn’t it? Anyway, don’t trust advertisement.

Of course, learn more about the ingredients will also help us to avoid dangerous chemicals that might contain side effects. Knowledge on fragrances and ingredients is also bringing us closer to good natural skin care. Bare in mind that we should keep an open mind in terms of learning. Don’t trust one source fully. We should always learn from various sources.

I think it’s time to show off my new love!

What do you think about this pair of heels? Simple and nice? Elegant? Sexy? Or nothing special? There are all 3 colors for this Guess Heels. They are baby blue, baby pink and white. All of them are sweet and soft. Frankly, I might have bought one for each color if the last zero at the end of the price tag has been taken off.

I really like this pair of heels so much. In fact, I should also take a picture of it from its side way to let you see clearly of its shape. It’s a pair of heels in ” good body shape”.This is the most expensive shoes I have ever bought in my life. I felt the pinch. It’s hurtful. But worth it! hehe…

It’s soft PVC material can never hurt our feet at all. Surprisingly, it’s so comfortable while walking with these 3 to 4 inch high heels. To me, it looks so sexy! Very elegant! And, absolutely dainty. Basically, this is what I am always looking for as a pair of fantastic heels in terms of design. However, ask me weather this PVC thing is durable, I wondered? Hahaha……

Love it! Love it! Love it so much! Never bought a shoes that I am so in love with it before. It actually matched my new sweet white dress so well too. If you shared the same interest with me, just remember it’s from GUESS!

I just collected this sweet white dress back from the merchant. I bought it about 1 week ago but I left it in the shop for alteration at that moment. There is 2 colors for this dress. I bought this white one and there is another one which is purple in color.

Both colors are nice. But you certainly knows why I choose white. White is always my favourite. And, I amreally looking forward to share with you about this dress since the day I bought it. I really like it so much!

This dress is dainty, lovely and very special. Traditionally, clothes are sewed from cloth. However, this is more like a plastic dress. As you can see, this material actually glowing. This is exactly what we called “Pearl White”. And if you rub on this material, it sounds exactly like the plastic bags. In my opinion, this material is a mixture of paper and plastic. What a new invention!

The price tag showed RM 149.90 (about 50 USD). Luckily I was offered with a 20% discount. Frankly, it’s always much more expensive if we are buying from boutiques instead of “night market”.

But, I still buy from boutiques as I gain the advantage of trying out the clothes thoroughly and get to alter it to fit my figure. Also, mostly there are more of those with fantastic materials that we can choose from in a boutique. So, I am willing to pay the extra cost for the extra service.

Somehow, you are encourage to look for discount fashion, discount furniture, and discount traveling package if you want to save money. Even 5% discount will make a difference.

My brother is infected with “Chicken Pox” since 2 days ago. He has more blisters on his face, almost full face. Today, he started to felt the itchiness. Chicken pox is highly contagious. Thus, anyone who is infected with in should avoid the crowd.

Basically, we suffer less if we get chicken pox at a younger age. There is more complication for the elder patients. And, the red small blisters like pimples usually will spread along the whole body and causes serious itchiness. Remember, avoid scratching the blisters. Let its wall breaks and dry on its own. In this case, there will be no scars left because of scratching.

Overall, symptoms like fever, abdominal pain, sore throat, headache, or a vague sick feeling will emerge a day or 2 before the rash appears and continue to last for a few days after the rashes spread.

Also, avoid feeding the patients with highly acidic or especially salty food. Chinese and Indians believe that the patient should avoid eggs and chickens too to avoid more severe itchiness.

Try to soak in cool or lukewarm oatmeal or sodium bicarbonate bath every 3 to 4 hours or apply calamine lotion to relief the itchiness. Ask the doctors or pharmacies to prescribe the appropriate pain relieving creams to relief soreness.

Never use aspirin to relief pain or fever among the chicken pox patients as this might lead to liver failure or even death. Also, no antibiotics is need to kill bacterias as the fever is caused by virus infections.

Did you collect the cord blood stem cells while delivering your baby? I did. And, I still paying an annual fees for the preservation of these cells. These stem cells are believed to be helpful in curing certain critical illnesses related to blood, neural and bone, if it happens to our baby or anyone among the family members in the future.

Thus, these cells are precious. Anyway, there is a new discovery now. There are life saving stem cells found naturally in our menstrual blood too. If you are interested, just made an effort to find out All About C’elle.

The new patented C’elle kit is an easy to use technology that help us to collect, process and cryo-preserve the menstrual fluid for potential future use in clinical regenerative medical therapies.

Frankly, this technology is fairly new and interesting. May be it’s a great business opportunity too. It is possible that many may not hesitate to make Celle Order Now, as it is affordable and very convenient compared to collecting cord blood stem cells. Thus, I am even considering to Become C’elle Distributor. Hehe…

Since we understand that menstrual fluid contains self-renewing stem cells that highly demonstrating great promise for future cellular therapies, may be all ladies should stop discarding our menstrual blood as unsanitary waste.

I told you I am going to show you more of my new clothes. Now, here is another 2 tops. But, they are just simple. And, quite decent too. Not body hugging and nothing revealing or sexy either. Hubby said, these 2 blouses are more “mummy”. Ops… Does it means old? Hahaha…

What do you think?

Anyway, they are both “CODE” fashion. this brands has nothing sexy. But, there are lots of formal office wears. Nice cutting and durable material. These 2 that I bought are stretchable and body fitting.

I especially like the dark blue nit wear even though it makes me look like a golfer. LOL! It looks great when matched with white pants, especially white short pants. Now, it’s the trend for short pants. 

Unfortunately, no discount for these 2 blouses. Both are about RM60 each. Quite expensive. I still buy as they have durable quality. Something that we can wear for a long period of time.

Basically, the OTO Flabelos is supposed to:

• Tone muscles including the large muscle group such as thighs, calves and abdominals.
• Improve muscle endurance and flexibility.
• Improve stamina
• Improve blood circulation
• Increase metabolic rate to burn more calories
• Maintain high impact exercise but reduce impact on joints
• Maintain good cardiovascular workout

If you are curious weather the famous OTO FLabelos does work? Here is the answer. Yes! In fact, it is good. Effective and convenient! But, it only works if we maintain frequent and persistent workouts.

In fact, we can separate the one time long period workout into a few short workouts when we don’t have good stamina initially. It still works. However, each time we are advised to use it 2 hours after food.

It’s very good for overall or part by part fitness and slimming purposes. But, if you are not hardworking, then may be you can only rely on Phentermine to slim down. hehe…

I am still crazy over milk bath. As I soak in the long bath with milk for about 2 times a week for the past 2 weeks, I feel the difference. My body skin is actually softer and smoother. Anyway, I did apply body lotion each time after I finished the milk bath. So, is is because of the lotion or the milk bath? LOL!

Basically, I never feel the smoothness immediately after the milk bath. In fact, my skin always felt a bit rough immediately after the milk bath. As I apply body lotion, it will turned truly smooth and soft the next day. So, may be soaking in milk actually help in the absorption of body lotion.

Today, I am going to try rubbing my body with fresh yogurt. Then soak in it. Let’s see which is better. It becomes “Yogurt bath” now. And, it’s all because there was no fresh milk left for sale when I went to the market last few days. So, I bough 2 packs of fresh yogurt instead of fresh milk. Hahaha…

Again, it’s spaghetti strip singlets.

Yeah, I am a sporty yet sexy mum! hahaha…

As you can see, this time there are another 2 square neck Ts. One baby blue and one leaf green. In fact, there is another black one in my mum’s wardrobe. We actually bought 4 square neck Ts. But, we had returned the white because of faulty cutting.

Square neck is feminine and stylish. It is certainly better than the conventional round neck and V neck. And, these 4 are all good buys. Only RM 8 ( about USD 2.60) each. hehe…

At this price, I always go for quantity instead of quality.

Anyway, I have more to show as I went shopping again yesterday. So what coming up next will be all quality ones, I promised. hahaha……

Oh! I should stop shopping as the oil price has gone up so much! But, I need beautiful outfits to polish my look. Just like any pictures will certainly look more attractive, if we framed them with nice picture frames.

Are you afraid of getting old? Frankly, I did. As I see most men get old slowly in terms of appearance, but ladies are mostly in the opposite position. I really hope I do not look older than my husband.

Anyway, most of us should be familiar and aware of the fact about black and red grapes containing anti aging properties. However, I just learned that all other black and blue berries including blackcurrant, blueberry and blackberry actually contain phytochemicals too.

In short, these berries are all like the black and red grapes which are anti aging. They are rich in flavonoids, the powerful antioxidants which fight against free radicals and skin aging.

From now on, I will surely eat more berries!

I went shopping this Monday. I thought of getting some new clothes. Kind of in the mood of shopping. Surprisingly, I get only 1 blouse home. May be I don’t find something I really like. In contrast, those that I like were too expensive. LOL!

Never mind. At least I get a good deal for this particular new black stretchable body hugging cotton blouse from NICOLE. It’s 50% off. Thus, it’s less than RM30 for such good material. Frankly, I am just as glad as I found the 75% off cruise deals.

Again, it’s simple and nice. Black is classic and mysterious. Body hugging fashion normally shows our figure. Thus, black body hugging is always sexier. I like body hugging fashion as it suits my slim but small cup size figure. hahaha…

Nowadays, most of us will practice taking multivitamins or nutritional supplements daily to boost up our immune system. We assumed that the vitamins from the food that we eat is  insufficient to protect our health.

But, there are risks if we took excessive doses of vitamins. For example, excessive doses of vitamin A can cause hypervitaminosis A. Initially, there will be symptoms including nausea, headache, appetite loss, skin changes and irregular periods. Later on when it’s serious, it can cause liver damage.

I realized my skin on my palm had turned yellowish recently. Commonly,  people assumed that over doses of vitamin A will cause yellowish of the skin. I think I better stop eating carrots, tomatoes and most importantly “Chu Hong” ( It’s actually pig blood cubes) for a while. Less chicken too!

Let’s celebrate tomorrow. Ir’s my big day. This year, it’s a Saturday. I am really in the mood for celebration this year. Thus, I even shopping for new clothes to wear on this special day.

Somehow, I still don’t find something I really like. May be because I have no particular idea in mind. Be it skirt and blouse, pants and blouse or dress? Undecided.

After all, it might just be a simple lunch. That’s all about the celebration. If it’s a big party, then I will make it a renaissance party. Hubby will absolutely loves it! He is a typical fans for those kind of movies.

This Medieval black Cotton Dress will certainly let me stands out from the crowd in the renaissance party. Simple but authentic! It seems quite hard to get the latest fashion that we truly like as we shop in the malls. But, It’s so easy to get fine renaissance costumes online!

Another 2 days to go. That’s one of my big day. I hope there will be surprises. I love romantic surprises! hehe…

Mum seems planning for steamboat dinner. But, my SIL is leaving to Thailand. Thus, we are going to have our farewell dinner on that same day. So, sorry mum. I think you got to forget about the steamboat.

Anyway, many in Malaysia like to have barbecue party for their big day. In fact, steamboat meal is so much healthier than barbecue food. Any grilled charred meat contains HCAs (Heterocyclic Amines). This cancer compounds have been shown to cause tumors in animals and increase the risk of cancers in human. Particularly for breast, colon, stomach and prostate cancer.

Somehow, we can reduce the risk of the cancer causing by the carcinogens (another cancer compounds) in barbecue food through marinating the meat. It seems that the acidic ingredients in marinades, like vinegar and citrus juices do act as a barrier.

As you followed all the posts in this blog, obviously you can see that I am interested in all types of health an beauty topics. I have learned a lot from books, magazines and online resources even before I started this blog.

And, this blog is created with the purpose to share my health and beauty experiences or knowledge here with many other individuals who shared the same interest with me. Through blogging, there is interaction. And, we always learn more through interaction.

However, I am certainly not the answer if you need professional medical help. Usually, we will only seek help from the medical specialist when we have serious health problem. Not when we started to feel some difference. On the other hand, we might even not satisfied with what the specialist told. In this case, we need second opinion.

If you have doubts on any women related health conditions such as Prolapse, Menopause or many other complications including Gynecologic cancers, I might not have the answer. But, your questions will absolutely be answered if you AskMyGYN. That’s where you will get the professional answers from an obstetrician or a gynecologist.

My immune system always gone low during my menstrual period. The possibility of I get sick after menstrual period is quite high. Are you having the same problem with me too? Anyway, I am having sore throat now.

Sore throat is not a big problem to me, as long as I did not get flu or high fever later on. I still have plans for my big day. I don’t want to get sick in a few days later. I think I really need help.

As usual, It got to be “Yin Chiao“.

Hopefully, I will fully recovered after the 3rd consumption like it usually worked. Anyway, I should rest more and drink more warm water to speed up the recovery process.

How many types of medication have you took before? Frankly, I can’t recall. In my case, it should be quite a lot. As I am quite weak. Anyway, I think I took the most paracetamol among all the medication.

Paracetamol is the most common medication for sickness like flu and fever. It is also an effective pain killer. Thus, it is widely used among the doctors. Anyway, there are many brands of paracetamol. Of course, Panadol is most famous among us all. In fact, most of the uneducated individuals recognized paracetamol as Panadol. They just don’t know the generic name for Panadol.

Normally, we can easily found many different brands for one particular type of medication. If you ever realized there is also a vast difference in price among these brands, then may be it’s time for us to learn more about Generic Drugs.

Basically, today’s generic drugs are compatible to the original one. As long as they are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), they are actually safe and proven to be thoroughly tested.

In my case, I will buy generic drugs if the original one is too expensive. And, I think this is the common reason why people are widely selling and buying generic drugs too.

I don’t feel well these few days. May be because it’s menstrual period. As usual, this period is extremely tiring. Truly lack of energy. I am lucky in in the sense I hardly had experience menstrual pain.

However, I do have mood swing during premenstrual period. Sometimes, I have become more aggressive. Thus, easily provoked. On the other hand, I can be quite depressed at this period. I just feel like crying for no reason behind.

Besides fatigue, I will even feel bloating. Most probably no appetite for food. All these are the symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). And, I am surprised that there are actually more than 150 symptoms attributed to PMS.

Watches can be very expensive. Thus, it is also a form of status. Over the years, Rolex has maintain it’s prestiges standard. Rolex watches are the one with the highest resale value. Thus, many people wear Rolex. My cousin brother and his wife are Rolex fans too. Both of them has 2 Rolex each. But, I have none.

If I am going to own a Rolex, It has to be one of the ladies masterpiece!

On the other hand, may be daddy is dreaming for the Rolex Daytona special edition as his father’s day gift too.

Rolex is always irresistible!

I am sure everyone knows where is the Dead Sea. It’s a salt lake located between Israel and Jordan. My mum’s youngest sister just came back from the largest city in Israel — Jurusalem. And, she actually brought back some of the mud from this holy city.

According to her, that’s the famous Dead Sea mud. Many people visit the Dead Sea since ancient times just to enjoy an exclusive health, rehabilitation and beauty spa. The black mud from Dead Sea is famous for its extra ordinary natural elements which contains outstanding concentration of salts and mineral.

Thus, it is highly therapeutic. It is used to:

1) Improves and stimulates blood circulation.

2) Heal many types of joint diseases, due to its thermopexic properties.

3) Cleanse and soften the skin.

4) Enhances the skin’s natural restorative powers.

So sad that I have no chance to indulge in this natural mud spa!

I started wearing contact lenses since I was 10 years old. Now, I am 27. In this long 17 years, I missed out so much fun because of vision problem. I can’t swim under water without goggle. And, I can’t go diving. I wish I know how to improve vision.

My mum’s situation is even worst. She got very dry eyes. Thus, she can only put on glasses. Contact lenses is not suitable for her. She always complaint that her glasses actually block off her eyes make up. And, there is a permanent mark on her nose after carrying the glasses for more than 30 years.

But, we never take up the lasik surgery. We prefer natural ways to improve vision. As there are serious risks such as blind or double vision for lasik surgery. However, I am getting very impatient with my vision problem. I believe my eyes are even affected by the computer vision syndrome now.

I work with computer closely since last year. These few months, I suffered serious eyes fatigue, dry eyes and eyes pain when look in the corner of my eyes. I can only concentrate on the computer screen for a short period of time. After 45 minutes to 1 hour, I have difficulties focusing on it. I even experienced blur vision.

In this case, may be the latest natural vision improvement program might help. It includes only an entertaining vision correction software and a special glasses for the user to wear while he or she is going through the software. I am interested as it’s safe.

Accordingly, I can improve vision and get rid of all symptoms of computer vision syndrome by using this unique solution just a few minutes a day. Once my vision is corrected, I should be very productive at the computer again. I can even enjoy swimming and diving. Worth trying!

According to the fact that meets my eyes, people nowadays normally don’t eat enough fruits or vegetables which is necessary for healthy living. As a result, we might be lack of fiber and antioxidants. Thus, indigestion is more common and our immunity is affected too.

Raw vegetables is specially rich in water soluble vitamins. Thus, salad should be included in our everyday meal. It is certainly good for health. As we add in salad dressing or Mayonnaise, salad is absolutely delicious.

Mayonnaise is hubby’s favorite. Bill loves it too. Thus, even they don’t like vegetables, they still take salads. Some claimed that salad dressing is bad for health. However, there are also researches reported that those who eat salads with salad dressing have considerably higher levels of vitamins C, E, B6, and folic acid. And, these are the important nutrients that promotes healthy immune system, reducing the risk of obesity and heart disease.

The natural source of good fat such as vitamin E in the salad dressing actually helping the absorption of certain nutrients of the vegetables and fruits. Accordingly, mayonnaise in the salad may even protect postmenopausal women against stroke due to the high content of natural vitamin E.

Many of my friends in late 20s or early 30s not only buying insurance for themselves. But, they will mostly buy health insurance for their parents too. In Malaysia, it is not surprise that many of the elderly do not have health insurance coverage.

As their son or daughter, it’s best to buy them health insurance. As our parents getting older, they might need more comprehensive medical attention. In case they need a big sum for operation or intense treatment, at least the insurance company can cover the expenses immediately even if their family members can’t afford it.

However, insurance for the elderly group can be very costly. Thus, it ain’t easy to pay for our parents’ insurance bills if it’s too expensive. Don’t worry. There are always Cheap Health Insurance available online or in the market.

Besides health insurance, we as son or daughter should always find ways to entertain our parents. Make them happy so that they can live longer and healthier. For example,

1) We can spend time taking lunch or dinner together with them.

2) Travel together with them.

3) Buy them lollipop. ( I realized elderly loves lollipop and candy.)

4) Talk to them, tell them some jokes and ask them more about our childhood time. I am sure they are more than willing to tell.

5) Play cheese, do gardening, go morning walk with them. Just participate in the activities they like.

6) Buy gifts for them and tell them how much you love me every now and then.

7) Let them spend time with their beloved grandchildren.

I felt great numbness on both my legs these 2 days. Could be it means my body has bad blood circulation now? Basically, numbness will occurs more frequently during our old age.

Commonly, this tingling sensation will goes off within a few seconds after we change position.  Besides,  there are other ways to reduce numbness.

1) Involved in exercise with full body movements such as swimming, walking and running to improve blood circulation.

2) Avoid activities that will impair blood circulation such as smoking.

3) Take a break every 30 minutes, if you are sewing, typing, squadding or doing any other repetitive jobs.

Some of you my dear friends might realized that I like gold stuffs. I have shining gold shoes and shining flowery and silky gold handbag. Yes, I especially like bright gold. As I have dark skin, I felt bright gold makes me looks brighter.

Also, it is the trend of gold now. We can easily seen gold bags, shoes, caps, pants or blouses everywhere now instead of only gold accessories. So, do you have any of these? If not, why not follow the trend and add some gold in your wardrobe now.

This is another shoes for my wedding dinner. It’s gold again. Gold shoes with green ribbons. It seems I started to like gold far before the trend.

I like it as it is so dainty. It’s like the princess’s shoes. Somehow, I never wear it after the wedding. I don’t quite like the ribbons. Hard to tie it in a god shape with our own two hands.

Durian is no doubt a nutritious fruits. However, Durian is traditional considered as “heaty” food among the Malaysia. In my opinion, this exceptional high in protein fruits could be harmful to our health if we consume in a large amount in a continuous period of time.

In fact, it is common for people in Malaysia to fall sick such as fever or sore throat after consuming excessive durian. We also believe that eating too much of durian can cause immediate stroke especially if we are taking durian together with beer or other alcoholic drinks. The same consequences will happened if we are taking excessive durians with oily food.

Commonly, we will suffer from strong stomach spams or explosive flatulence if we take durian together with gas drinks or beers. Durian is also high in calories. Thus, avoid durians if you are trying to loose weight.

So, eat durian moderately.

Commonly, I have friends who buy clothes and shoes every week always complaint that they have not enough money to pay for their insurance. Others rather spend on cigarettes, beers and junk food which will seriously affect their health, instead of buying themselves medical insurance to protect their medical needs.

In Malaysia, the medical cost is escalating. I guess this is happening throughout the world. Health Insurance is a must. In my opinion, buying health insurance is very meaning.

As we can never waste our money. We will be glad if we are not fully utilizing the amount insured. It’s always the best if we have no sickness. And, the money we spend on health insurance will then used to help those who need the money to collect the appropriate amount to save their lives.

Health Insurance will proved to be worthy when we need to get in and out from the hospitals during our old age. Anyway, it’s mostly the time out for us to buy medical insurance. Thus, we should all spare at least one medical insurance policy since young. In fact, nowadays our chances of surviving from chronic sickness is rather high, if we have money to pay for the advanced medical treatments.

Many people actually thought that diabetics is cause by eating too much sugar. However, this is just a myth. In fact, heredity is the major cause of diabetics, especially type 2 diabetics. You will be surprised that the chances to get diabetics for the children of both parents with type 2 diabetics are almost 100 percent.

We get diabetics when our pancreas can’t produce appreciate amount of insulin. When our body is lack of insulin, we get type 1 diabetics. People who have type 2 diabetics most probably have more insulin in the body than what is needed.

In short, any abnormality of insulin production will cause diabetics.

Basically, there are findings long proved that consuming alcoholic drinks such as beer or wine moderately can help to reduce heart related diseases. However, we are still not advisable the consume alcoholic drinks. As they might directly affects our liver.

Somehow, there are new finding reported that the risk of non alcoholic fatty liver disease was cut down to half for those who drink one glass of wine per day compared to those who totally avoid alcoholic drinks.

In this case, wine gifts should be worth investing. At least it is the one with most health benefits compared to any other alcoholic drinks. Somehow, bear in mind that only moderate consumption ( a glass per day) of wine is helpful.

You will be surprised that there are actually many complications involved in double eyelid surgery. In fact, your eyes might appeared more ugly than previously because of undesirable shape of the eyelid crease.

There are more serious risks involved in this operation such as:

1) Excessive bleeding

2) Excessive swelling

3) Excessive Scarring

The patient might even not able to close her eyes properly if there is excessive skin removal.

It is common for Asian ladies or guys to have only single eyelid. Double eyelid is especially common among the Westerners. Somehow, many insisted that double eyelid looks more prettier. In my opinion, double eyelid will mostly make your eyes appear bigger.

The double eyelid surgery is quite common in Malaysia. It ables to provide a livelier look for the eye by framing it well in the eyelids. I have to admit that sometimes a car will look nicer by setting up car spoilers. So, it’s understandable that why many assumed that any single eyelid individual should gone through the double eyelid surgery in order to look prettier.

Look for a good plastic surgeon to minimize the risk for this particular plastic surgery. Make sure the creation of double eyelid looks natural. I have seen people with different length or height of cuts for both eyes.

There are also cases which the cut is too high or too low from the eyes. That’s horrible! And, it will be a waste of money and effort if the cut is too light. As there will be no difference compared to the original single eyelid.

Have you ever come cross anyone who has clear skin on the face actually end up become full of breakouts after a few facial treatments? Don’t simply undergo facial treatments that might overstimulate your skin.

Bear in mind that certain intense treatment such as peeling can caused disaster to your skin. Mostly, the beautician will massage your face while doing facial. Sometimes, they even scrub your face. These 2 actions can easily overstimulate the normal and healthy skin and caused breakouts.

Also, certain products usage might be too rich for normal skin. In this case, it might be the intense moisturizer used in the treatment that caused breakouts. Thus, concentrate only on good home use products if you want to protect your normal healthy skin.

In my opinion, people with osteoarthritis in the spine, or facet joint arthritis should try sleeping on the adjustable bed. So that they can enjoy a good night sleep.

For example, my nanny who is still staying with us even at her old age now will prefer to sleep on a recline chair. She had serious back problem since many years ago. For her case, sleeping in a reclining position can reduce the stiffness and soreness of her joints when she wake in the morning.

In fact, she should change her bed to adjustable bed and adjust the bed to the position that provides her better support instead of sleep on a recline chair. The adjustable beds are fantastic modern technology that suit almost everyone.

It is especially useful for those who feels more comfortable when laying down in an inclined position. I like the way it can be adjusted to a position with full support for our back while reading or watching TV. It’s a great choice to protect our spine health.

My “Alive” Organic Aromatic Shower Gel is going to finish soon. Frankly, this shower gel is quite good in the sense the gel form is not too thick. It’s quite watery. Thus, it seems there is no chemicals to form the thick gel.

However, it is an aromatic shower gel. Thus, there are fragrances. I prefer no fragrance. Somehow, the fragrance should be natural as it is not pleasant. In my opinion, it’s hard to get the pleasant fragrance from the mixture of various natural aromatic oils for certain therapeutic effects. So, it should be natural.

I doubt it as the label does not contains any organic certification support from any related bodies even though it was tested it many ways. Anyway, It seems not fully soap free. There are still lots of bubbles.

May be I should get back the old “Mukti”. It’s totally soap free. You can never see any bubble while applying it. But, it seems only moisturizes our body. I don’t really feel the cleansing effect. So which is which?

Finally, we have one of this OTO eye rejuvenator at home. I don’t quite like the way it massages our eyes. In my opinion, no mechanical massager can compared to the real massage conducted by masseur. It’s simply the best if you found a great masseur.

Somehow, something is always better than nothing. At least it’s convenient. We can do it anytime at any place. One thing for sure. This eye rejuvenator is still very relaxing. Especially with it’s music function.

There are about four different types of ready natural sounds, including the sounds of waves, water flowing, rain dropping and birds chipping. And, ear phone is provided. With the wave sound together with the massage, I can fall asleep within minutes.

It’s super duper relaxing! Fantastic, isn’t it? Somehow, if there are MP3 players, then we can even play love songs to indulge in the romantic mood.

It’s been some time I never go for massage. In fact, I supposed to work on the new massager or shaker that my mum bought. They should be effective. Somehow, It seems I am quite lazy.

Now, I finally agreed with my friend. Buying an exercise machine is easy. But, it’s hard to fully utilized it to achieve the health aims.  We must be persistent on the workouts,  in order to achieve the health target from these gadgets.

May be it’s simply because I am just an idiot in terms of exercise. But, I will never give up. I must be persistent on the workouts. Health is far more important than any other things in life. 

The hives on my leg have subsided. But, there are scars. And, I will still feel the itchiness once in a while. I am not worried about the itchiness. I am worried about the scars. Scars on the leg can hardly removed.

The scars are big and obvious. Unfortunately, I am always interested in the seaside vacation and Outer Banks rentals. In fact, I am the planning a trip to Maldives next year. In this case, I will not look nice in swimsuit. What am I going to do? I think I can trust the Vedaway Pigmentation Cream.

I will apply it on my scars everyday started from now. Hopefully, my scars will fade off after some time. Luckily I still have more than 6 months time to cure it.

Oily and normal skin can benefit from using deep cleansing mask once or twice a week, During the drying process of the mask which is usually 10 to 15 minutes, a lot o debris, oily secretions and dead cells can easily be removed.

Moisture replenishing mask are more suitable for dry or mature skin. It helps to plump up the epidermis on the outer most layer of the skin. Just like a dry sponge becoming softer after being soaked in water.

Unfortunately, the result is only temporary because our skin is actually water resistant. Otherwise, we will all be bloated after a bath. LOL!

As our age increases, our wrinkles will increase too. Wrinkles are the sign of aging. Thus, many try to get rid of it to look younger.

Nowadays, many do understand that “We are what we eat”. Thus, watch our food intake. We should try our best to avoid food with lots of free radicals including fried stuffs. And, eat more healthy food specially those contains great amount of anti- oxidants.

Besides, if you observed those who always work under the hot sun, you can clearly see that they actually grow old faster. This is because sun light is really harmful to our skin especially the sunlight between 10am to 3pm. So, use sun screen lotion and avoid sunbathing to prevent aging of skin.

However, I think most of us will depend on wrinkle creams now. Somehow, which is the best wrinkle cream among all?

I just bath in the tub. Not foaming bath. It’s milk bath this time!

As I was in the market this morning, I saw the old Indian Uncle who sells fresh milk. All of the sudden, I feel like trying out the milk bath. So, I bought 2 packets of fresh milk from him on the spot. It’s RM6. Cheap aye?

Once I am home, I actually invited my mum to soak in the milk bath with me, after I get it ready. Of course she was happy to hear that. So, I pour 2 packets all into the tub. However, I don’t have much honey left in the house. So, only milk.

I felt a little bit itchy as I soaked in it. But, mum felt nothing. May be it’s too acidic for me. I shall reduce it to 1 pack next time. I even soak my hair in it. Hopefully the hair will appear shinier after many times of milk bath. For this first time, the hair appeared to be a bit rough instead.
