Skin Detox - A Perricone $150 or less Giveaway!

Didn't I just tell you that we are going to have another fun, and exciting GIVEAWAY!!  Well, here it is!!
(The GIVEAWAY is sponsored by the 3rd party and I am not affiliate with this GETSUPER company.) 

Not only did I personally love to read about the newest skin care research/product that are available in the market but also I update myself constantly of the anti-aging facts with my dermatologist. Ever since I did Sclerotherapy (a procedure used to treat blood vessels or blood vessel malformations) under her supervision on my left thigh, I worship my dermatologist very much for her professionalism. ^O^

Now, I consult her very often about the ideas of all the anti-aging theories and also clear the cloud of misconception about collagen supplement.  

Here I found two products from GETSUPER which draw my attention. I am doing Yoga religiously as you already know.  One of my yoga instructors says that "twisting" is great for our body as it also detox our stress and waste from our body but he didn't mention about how to detox our face and make it glow.  ^^

Watercress is an interesting leaf vegetables that you normally would want to eat them tossed with other vegetable as salad or inside sandwiches. But now you know how great it works as an stimulant, try this watercress enriched, amazing, and soothing DETOX ELIXIR !!! ^O^

Do you know that I quench frequently coconut water during my session of doing Zumba? 

Why?

Cause' I don't like plain water nor sugar-loaded energy drinks. Besides, the potassium content in Coconut Water is close to twice the amount in a banana. ( I bet you don't know this before!)  A healthy balance of electrolytes is so important for the optimal health of our muscular, cardiovascular, nervous and immune systems, so drink it up!!

What about use Coconut Oil as an anti-aging skin aid?

Coconut Water contains these cytokinins and lauric acid which can minimize the aging of skin cells, balance PH levels, and keep the connective tissues strong and hydrated!! I found that not only can you apply this LUSH LIPS balm on your lips, but also great to apply it on affected skin areas such as acne, wrinkles, stretch marks.... etc.

Thank me Later-For a Gorgeous You Forever!!!

I am trying out this product currently and it is amazing!!! (Well, everything is pretty much true as stated above so .... what's next!!? 

Go, no, run to Sephora to grab yourself one!!!

 

I think some companies still make turkey bacon purely from Turkey thigh.  Read the ingredients carefully. However, I guess you can eat real pig bacon guilt-free now!! ^^

Hope you learn something new everyday for your inner and outer beauty!! 

While I browse through some runway shows for 2011, I discovered those cute vintage-y look of thing. Would it be a polyester quilted-like vest, cropped jacket of YSL, or the military-green ruched cap(puff)-sleeve jacket from Burberry Prorsum, you sure should steal this look now!!

Remember my Millard Fillmore modern sports wear?!! ^^

I am not lazy if you are wondering how come I didn't post my outfit of the day!! The fact is I probably can't wear my contact lens as long as I wish during these two weeks and post freely when I really need my lens to function well. I have a very poor eye-vision (-1000 degree for both eyes) and I will go through "Lasik" (to correct my eye vision) on Feb. 8th (if everything goes smoothly).  The doctor suggests that I should let my eyes rest for at least 2 weeks w/o wearing contact lens. You know, I won't be as acute as when I wore contact lens with my normal eye-glasses. I probably could be clumpy ....... :P

But good news is I will share as much thoughts/daily read as possible with you!! Or better, I can start doing my day-and-night skin regime posts too. ^^ Also, I can promise you that I am not doing Batox secretly... just yet!! haha.....

Local event - Chanel Spring 2011 Trunk Show this Thursday and Friday at Neiman Marcus Stanford Shopping Center!!

I will be there, how about you!!? ^^

Stay Tuned!

Leather Skirt and Skincare Ritual!!

I think it is safe to say that all the leather byproduct such as leather jackets, leather tanks, leather vests, leather capes (hum...I'd love to have one), leather pants (shorts, any sort), leather skirts, leather hats, leather gloves..... are wardrobe essentials. 


I had a pretty inspiration from her outfit.  (A super beautiful model, and a photographer)I don't have a leather shorts yet but I so much want to get one now!! :P
