What's in my Meal?

Meal or Meal Replacement....
Nowadays we are so busy that when it comes to choices of food we tend to 'just leave it to the experts' as they say. And some people do make choices right there and then depending on the convenience they feel. Not discounting the fact that TV commercials are bombarding us with so many infos based on how delicious it is.

The sad thing in here is that most convenient and delicious food are no longer nutritious instead may lead us to accumulating unwanted toxins, made us more acidic thus resulting bad health conditions or worse to degenerative diseases. Yes, some people just love to fill in their palate to satisfy hunger or cravings not bothering their minds if these are food for survival or for longevity.

Well, as we are living in this fast paced world, we do sometimes made a rush choice....for convenience, for fun, for a gathered peers for holidays but we do need to cleanse it out by detoxifying maybe once in every three months. And some smart individuals are using Blue Miracle (have you heard of Blue Miracle?) to neutralize the acids we got on our daily lifestyle.

More so, to lessen the bulk of unwanted acids derived from our too much consumption of so many stuffs they decided to make their dinner light. I know most of us love to eat heavy dinner but only if we do it earlier say on or before 6pm but not late night please. If you feel hungry around 10:00 pm because you did it earlier few slices of apple will help or you can drink 1 glass of alkaline water (some use 3 drops of blue miracle in a glass of drinking water) and for sure you will have a good night sleep.

Some smart people too, joined the group of 'night light eaters' wherein they just do occasional or special night eating heavy meals but on a nightly basis they just prefer healthy meal replacements or oatmeals with a variety of mix-matches to avoid monotony or boredom minus the guilt as they say.

What Not To Do On Your Face!

Mirror,Mirror who's on the wall? Oh no, Is this me? Panic and Shock while looking at your face is not the right reaction on what you see on the mirror. Whatever it is that you saw on the mirror pause for a while, sit down take a deep breath and relax .. it's only when you are relax that you can do the right thing. After all you  can not just blame anyone on what had happened. But next time make sure to know on what to do and what NOT to do to your face.

WHAT NOT TO DO TO YOUR FACE:

1)Don't pick or extract blackheads or whiteheads yourself:

   By doing this you are not only having a bad/back job but you can spread the contents deep      into the oil gland and surrounding tissue therefore cause infection at the same time you are  stretching the pore permanently

2)Don't use a tweezer on anything except eyebrows and splinters:

   Tweezers are a woman's worst enemy.If you pluck facial hair, it will grow out flattened or     curled in the wrong direction and take note with a coarser texture

3)Don't allow hair care products to stray onto the face: 

    Because most of the hair care ingredients can aggravate the skin

WHAT TO DO:

1)For your blackheads to be extracted properly go to a good facialist or if you are in Cebu, Philippines please visit  F and S Beauty Elements and Holistic Center@ Sitio Ibabao, Brgy. Perelos, Carcar City of  Cebu. Have a facial at least once a month if normal and twice a month for those who have lots of blackheads and whiteheads

2)For your hairy face..Wax,Depilate or find a good electrologist to remove hair on face  permanently

3)Toss all your facial creams/products that already smell funny or if it is already more than a year(especially the make up set). Never add water or saliva to a product, you can only introduce bacteria

Are you Ready? Summer Time.....is..... ShowTime!

Summer is here in Philippines! "Summer, Summer Anywhere- Time For Your Summer Wear! Some may say 'Yes I Do', but how about you?"
Yes, cotton backless blouses are 'IN', blazers,sweaters and layers are 'OUT'.

Most of us in summer time soak in beaches, swimming pools and etc.,others just manage to have their cool shower 3x a day to their 'heart's content' as they say.Sadly though, summer time means dehydrated skin, dull, dry and blemished or sunburned. No matter how enjoyable and exciting summer is for a lot of people but everyone needs to give extra attention on what to do. Seems women on their 30's ,40's, and maybe 50's are very much aware of and conscious too that they are willing to spend bucks for their SPF's lotions and sun protections but some surveys show that a lot of young ones from teens and twenties just want to explore and bravely face the sun, expose themselves in a limitless way ignoring the idea of using sunscreens.Yes they are aware of the dangers but some of them just want to explore.

Whatever it is, Summer Time Is Showtime!

Our busy schedules most often is the culprit why some are hesitant to show some parts of their bodies during summer like when you are planning to wear two-piece suit on beaches or backless blouses while shopping,simply because they know that they possess a 'not so good to show' skin especially the back area.Yes needless to say our back is the most neglected part of our body as far as caring of the skin.So we need to go to day spa nearest to you to have a back facial because moisturizing your back is not enough.When you do that , then you are ready to the SHOWTIME for this SUMMER TIME.

How To Reduce Dandruff

Let's face it!Dandruff is embarrassing,annoying,irritating but not a serious disease.Though there's no cure for such, but sure enough you can reduce or minimize it.
Dandruff is common scalp condition that occurs when dead skin is shed thus producing white flakes that surely irritates the sufferer.
Before we'll start looking for a solution let us first recognize what are the possible causes.To name a few: STRESS is one, if you are facing so many pressures of life&workplace as well.Then , others have overactive glands (some people tend to generate and discard skin cells at a faster/rate than others),some evidence suggest that dandruff is usually caused by overgrowth of the yeast Pityrosporum ovale/orbiculare which lives naturally on the skin.It also can be triggered by illness,improper carbo consumption,sugar consumption and some nutritional deficiencies like selenium,essential fatty acids, and B complex.
Here are some solutions:
1)Look for shampoos with selenium sulfide,tar or zinc pyrithione to wash dandruff away as these ingredients(if you can find it in an anti dandruff shampoo) can retard the rate at which scalp cells multiply.Some shampoos has anti fungal property known as Ketoconazole that will kill the yeast that maybe causing your dandruff.But if you notice that your anti dandruff shampoo stops working after a few months of using,then it's time to switch to other active ingredient(the probable cause is that your scalp got used to your shampoo)then after a few weeks you can switch back.
Other ways of reducing dandruff:
a) By herbal infusion of chapparal or thyme use it as hair rinse
b) Aloe vera cream or gel is a powerful antiseptic and anti inflammatory(2x a day application of pure aloe vera gel or shampoo can be beneficial
Here are some recommendations:
* Eat a diet consisting 50 to70% raw foods.
* Eat soured product like yogurts or soured cream
* Avoid fried foods,too much dairy products,sugar,flour,chocolate and seafoods
* Schedule a twice a month fasting ,eating only veggies and fruits
* When washing your hair add about 8 tablespoons of pure organic peanut oil to the juice of half
lemon,rub mixture into your scalp leave it 5 to 10 minutes then shampoo.
* Try rinsing your hair with 1/4 cup vinegar to quart of water (do it after shampoo).
