Slimming Coffee

I have heard a lot about slimming coffee.
My cousin is trying Body Beautiful slimming coffee.
Two of my friend are trying Leisure 18 slimming coffee.
I did a lot of research regarding this. What are the effects? How much? etc. etc.
I tried to contact some online dealers because they said that this products are only available online. There are also a lot of fake or immitation.
Nevertheless, I purchased one box from a local Chinese Drugstore.

This is the Leisure 18 slimming coffee with L-carnitine and Korean Ginseng.

This is a new packaging.

Look -











Im on my first day of taking a sip.

Im gonna keep you updated for any result.


Im being optimistic, :)

Test Your Foot Fitness

Spotting early signs of foot problems can prevent you from being sidelined. Give your feet this test, created with Cherise Dyal,MD, assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx.
SKIN
PUMA Women's Complete Nightfox TR Running Sneaker,Shocking Pink/Phantom/Zinnia,8 B US1. Do your feet have blisters or red spots? Buy shoes in a large enough size and width, and watch for bothersome seams inside.

FOOT CARE
2. Are your toenails trimmed straight across? This will prevent ingrown nails.
3. Do you push back your cuticles? Healthy ones offer protection from bacteria and infection, but they must be kept from overgrowing.
4. Do you use a pumice stone regularly? This will help prevent painful buildup of dead skin and calluses and allow healthy skin underneath to get moisture.

CIRCULATION
5. Are your toes pink? Toes that look red, purple or blue may indicate an infection, injury, or blood flow problem. See your doctor immediately for a diagnosis.
6. Press down on the nail of your big toe until the color blanches, then let go. How long does it take for the color to return? If it takes more than 5 seconds, you may have a circulation problem. Talk to your doctor.

SENSATION
Bario Electric Callus Remover
7. Run a pencil eraser along the top, bottom, and sides of your feet. Does it feel the same in all four sides? (The bottoms may tickle.) Poor sensation could be a sign of diabetes or nerve injury and should be evaluated by a doctor.

8. Can you pick up a small disk towel and a marble with your toes? If not, you can improve flexibility by massaging your feet and toes gently every day. Also, practice doing the towel and marble pickups daily.

Seven Tips to a Healthy You


If it's optimum health you want. Follow these rules and go for it!


1. Lose weight if you need to.
Make this a huge health priority. Every extra pound puts you at a greater risk of cancer, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and arthritis.

Get 45 minutes of activity a day if you are trying to lose weight or keep it off - and that includes just about every adult.


3. Eat tons of fruits and vegetables.
We wish we could go to a cancer research conference and see all the scientists with lunch platesHealthy diet suggestioneaped with vegetables and fruits. Eat nine servings a day - it's easier than you think!


4. Get more good fats.
That means monounsaturated fats in olive oil, nuts, and peanut butter, and omega- 3 fats in canola oil, flaxseed, and fatty fish such as salmon. Avoid saturated fat (as in cheeseburgers!).


5. Cut way back on sugar.
Every day, we eat an average of 21 teaspoons of added sugars. For starters, trade your soft drinks for iced tea, plain or sweetened with just a touch of honey.


6. Switch to whole grains now - just do it!
Evidence is mounting that we're eating far too much refined starch (white flour foods) for our own good. For example, women who eat mostly "white bread" diets have more breast cancer and diabetes.


7. If you drink alcohol, drink only a little.
You know the rule about one drink a day for women, two drinks for men? Even that may be too much. A study of more than 40,000 qdults found that people with lowest risk of dying were women who averaged less than one drink a day and men who averaged less than two drinks a day.

Skin Sense: Managing oily, acne-prone skin

We live in a world that is very visually oriented. In fact, when people see us, most of them make their first impressions based on our looks. This may sound unfair, but it is the truth. Luckily we have control over how visually appealing we can present ourselves.
A shiny, mirror-ball-like and acne-marked face is very unattractive. Women, specifically teenagers and young adults, who have oily skin, are most prone to this dilemma. What’s a good girl to do, right? Well, the good news is oily skin can be controlled and prevented. The key is consistent skin care.
Care for Oily Skin
When choosing a cleanser, make sure that it is right for oily skin. Scrubs help exfoliate dead skin cells and leave your skin smooth and radiant. There is right way to wash your face: the number one rule is to be gentle. Just like what you see in commercials, splash water on your face. Then get a dollop of facial wash and, using your ring and middle finger, spread the facial wash on your skin with circular motions. After this, rinse thoroughly with water.Try Olay Sensitive Skin Gentle Foaming Face Wash with Aloe - 7.0 oz.
It’s also important to remember that everyone can benefit from moisturizers. It’s not true that if you have oily skin you won’t need moisturizers anymore. A moisturizer does not make your skin oily. It conditions it. Just make sure you pick an oil-free moisturizer. The lighter the better, of course. I love L'Oreal Paris Advanced RevitaLift Face and Neck Day Cream, 1.7 Ounce and St. Ives Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin Facial Moisturizer 10 oz (283 g).
And bear in mind that the sun is your skin’s number one enemy, so stay away from the sun and use products with SPF (sun protection factor) daily. You can also try Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock, SPF 85, 3 Ounces (Pack of 2) because it has sunblock and SPF 85 or as a beginner you first try Facial Natural Sunblock SPF 20 - 4.5 oz - Liquid or DML Daily Facial Moisturizer, SPF 25 - 1.5 oz.
Hardly anyone spared from having oily skin or occasional acne attacks. To address your skin dilemmas, complement the use of your skin care products with spot treatments. These formulations normally have salicylic acid or sulfur. To reduce swelling and to kill bacteria, use a spot treatment containing a high concentration (five to ten percent) of benzoyl peroxide. Vitamins C and E are also very beneficial to your skin. You can try Murad Acne Acne Spot Treatment .5 fl oz (15 ml).
Makeup Tricks
Powders will work well for you in controlling the appearance of oily skin. It is good in mattifying and minimizing appearance of large pores. Just remember that less is more. Minimum application of makeup is best, so oil production is lessened.
A lot of oily-skinned women think that applying concealer or thick foundation will disguise oily skin. Truth is, thick makeup can only aggravate it. Besides, you might look like you’re wearing a mask, which is not attractive at all.
Also, make sure your tools are always clean to avoid skin irritation. And never borrow brushes! These are very personal things. You certainly do not want to get bacteria from others.
We all want beautiful oil-free skin, and the best way to get this is through prevention and maintenance. It’s never too early to start. Keep your skin clean and beautiful so you always look and feel your best.

The best make-up line that I can recommend are Maybelline Mineral Power Blush - Gentle Pink, Avon Ideal Shade SMOOTH MINERAL FOUNDATION NATURAL/NUDE and L'Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Powder, Nude Beige, 0.33 Ounce.
