I have always been watchful with my face as that is my main asset. LOL! But my perception about beauty changed when I read some articles about how women in their 50s feel so good about themselves as well as accepting the fact that all of us age. As long as we take it positively, anyone can age beautifully and healthily.
Besides, aging is not that scary as long as we stay healthy. If I’m really old and I can’t take care of myself, seriously, I won’t be worrying much about my look. What I have in my mind is just how not to be a burden to my kids and family. I might even stay in the nursing home that has great facilities and experienced staffs to care for me, instead of giving troubles to my kids. But my hubby is truly against this idea. He’s quite old fashioned.
Thus, I should be putting more effort in maintaining my health but not my look. But it’s still hard to resist those miracle creams that work wonder on me!
Have you ever wonder why some women look younger for their age? It’s not just about miracle beauty products or good genes, most of the women put in the effort of making themselves look younger and youthful. Take a look at Grandma Cher, does she look like 60 to you?
Thus, try to put in some time for exercise. I know how busy we can be, but just a 10 minutes walk outside your house, or running on the treadmill while watching the TV will be great for your body. Besides, with sufficient exercise, more toxic waste will be flushed out from your body system, and thus, you will have great skin too. If you have been suffering from health problems like hemorrhoids, you can also try to do some exercise instead of prolong sitting and depending fully on your medication.
So, get your butt up and swing your legs while you are reading this blog, ok?
Everyone who reads my blogs know that I hardly sleep. That’s why I spend a fortune on my face to maintain my look and prevent myself from premature aging. Beauty sleep is part of the secrets of having good skin and health. Since it’s impossible for me to hit the sake at 10am, the ideal time for beauty sleep, I try my best to get to bed by 3am. Then I make sure that anything with radiation is turned off, practice some yoga breathing, put on the last steps of my beauty regime ( I have 2 different steps for night use), then I will try to fall asleep as soon as possible.My problem is my kids still wake up despite that they should be sleeping through by now. But so far so good, my skin is well maintained. My skin allergy reaction has completed healed, all thanks to my skin doctor.
Nonetheless, I guess I can only sleep through like I used to be when my kids moved out from our room. Then I will change the furniture to contemporary bedroom furniture of my dream and sleep like a baby for 8 hours a night.
Hopefully by then I won’t be blogging as much as I do now. Going to bed at 3am is insane.
My blog buddy is very health conscious. She had just told me about Gac fruit which is rich in carotenoid antioxidants and a supplement called R.G. Skin Revitalizer, and it will provide the skin with the essential nourishment if we take the juice everyday. If the fruit is so good, I think the skincare products from the fruit extracts will be great as well.
Skincare products which are developed based on useful fruits are getting more and more popular lately. I think you can easily think of a new big names, but so far, none of the big companies are using the Gac fruit yet. Since this fruit is rich in beta-carotene, it will be able to help to boost the immune system and assist the skin’s cellular rejuvenation process. Thus, your skin will be protecting from premature aging and the harmful effect of the sun rays.
But since I have just advised by my skin doctor not to try other products for the next 2 weeks, I might only get the fruit juice. Not only me will be benefit from it, my kids can take the juice too. I heard that it’s delicious, so hopefully my kids will love it as well.
I bought some vegetable drink to clear my body because it will help to promote great skin and prevent us from constipation. I don’t have constipation, and it’s the greater skin that I’m hoping to see. I will start the drink this week and let’s see if there is any significant difference.
You can also consider to try Dual Action Cleanse which is a herbal colon cleanser that is designed to get rid of toxic waste from your colon. Believe me, your tummy will look flatter and your skin will be better if you don’t have a lot of toxic in your body! If not, why am I wasting so much time and money on detoxification on my spa treatment?
But if you would like to try the drink, please talk to your doctor first. Even if it’s herbal and safe, just make sure that you don’t have any health complication first before trying.
The eyes are the windows to the soul. If you have beautiful eyes, do you want to put on a pair of glasses and block your peepers behind the glasses? I know most of us can just choose to put on contact lens, but they are quite troublesome. What if you are on the move and you have forgotten to pack your lens? What if you can’t get them anywhere? To put an end to all these troubles, you can just go to Dr Thomas Tooma, who is a refractive eye surgeon to get your eye sight corrected.
It’s pretty common now and I have a few friends who have gone through LASIK as well. They love the results of being able to restore their eye sights and I have thoughts about getting it done as well. I kept delaying it for the past few years due to pregnancy, labor, motherhood and etc. But maybe I should consider about this all over again because I hardly wear lens or glasses, but my eye sight is not 20/20.
So, maybe I should consult Dr. Tom Tooma, but his laser eye center is no where near from me! That means I will just have to talk to any eye doctor around my area if I’m serious about this. Just let me think about this first.

For the past few days, I have been suffering from severe chapping lips again. Since I have tried lots of lip gloss and lip balms, I think it’s not about the products anymore but something to do with internal factor. I Google for more information about chapped lips and this is what I found from Ultimate-Cosmetics.
Causes of chapped lips
They are the result of our lips being too dry. Chapped lips occur if our skin has lost its moisture retention capacity. As a consequence, our lips become easily chapped. The chapping further reduces the moisture retention capacity and this vicious circle results in the problem becoming chronic and increasingly severe. Some causes of chapped lips maybe:
- The natural oils in the skin is often lessened by exposure to sun, cold, wind and dry air.
- Repeatedly wetting the lips without protecting them first.
- A lack of essential fatty acids and/or B vitamins, poor diet and dehydration.
- A person is allergic to lipstick dyes.
I haven’t been sleeping much for the past week so I know that I am dehydrated and my body is sending some alarming signs. Furthermore, I didn’t take my B complex supplement since I’m out of it. So, I have to start taking good care of myself before my lips get worse.
On top of that, I have been using a lot of lip balm but it’s not working, and now I found the root cause too.
A good remedy for chapped lips: Crack open a Vitamin E gel capsule and rub the gel on your lips.
Castor Oil for Chapped Lips
First, chuck your Chapstick. Conventional lip balms contain petroleum and sometimes alcohol, both of which dry the sensitive skin on your lips. Instead, moisturize and protect your parched, peeling lips with castor oil. Carry a small squeeze bottle of the oil and apply it with your finger often throughout the day. If you plan to be out in the sun, use a natural petroleum- and alcohol-free balm with an SPF of 15 a few minutes after rubbing in the castor oil.
So, now I got it! I have to check the ingredients of the lip products! But where I can get castor oil?
I take 2 cups of coffee a day because I don’t sleep much. Without coffee, I will be walking like a zombie and I can’t drive at all. I will be too sleepy to concentrate on anything, so besides my morning cup of coffee, I will take another one in the mid afternoon to boost myself up.
Coffee is great for skin since it’s rich in antioxidant, but only when you are taking it moderately. Too much of coffee will dehydrate your skin since it is diuretic. On top of that, you will lose your quality sleep too if you take too much of coffee, and everyone knows how important sleep is to promote beautiful skin.
Another thing to take note is what type of coffee you are taking. I don’t like plain coffee and I always take mine with sugar and cream. Excessive sugar may not be good for our health too. Too much of it may promote diabetes, so I will have to watch out my sugar intake as well. If you are interested to know more about diabetes, check out Kosmix.com. Sometimes, we tend to care too much about our appearance and forget that health is more important than our looks.
So, I better stick to 2 cups of coffee per day and not more than that.
I’m one of those lucky people on earth who is born with a higher metabolism as comparing to women at my age. I can eat a lot, but hardly gain those extra pounds. In fact, I had just taken a big bowl of noodles at 3am before writing this post. But that doesn’t mean I won’t gain weight, it’s just that I don’t get fat easily.
But if you are looking for a better way of shedding off your weight without running the treadmill for hours every day, you may try the Diet Water from XPLC. It is formulated to increase the metabolisms with thermogenic response of zero carbohydrate, zero sugar and zero calories. If you are taking this drink with a well balance diet and some exercise, you will be losing weight faster. Beside, it comes in various flavors like pomegranate, mango guava , kiwi lime and strawberry banana. At the same time, there are various products that you can consider as well, if you are only interested in gaining more muscles.
However, please bear in mind that not everyone can take the products. I’m a breastfeeding mother, so I have always been extra careful not to take any supplement without the permission of my doctor. Any pregnant or nursing mother is not advisable to take any dieting or muscle gain products. Besides, if you have some medical condition, don’t take these products as well. To be on the safer side, consult your physician and get his permission first. If the answer is no, then just eat and exercise healthily.
Don’t lose your health when you are supposed to lose your weight.

I haven’t done teeth whitening for a few years. I did a few times before I got married. A few months before my wedding, I did again and maintain the whiteness with some DIY products meant for teeth whitening. If possible, I would let the professional dentists do the job for me as the result is better and I don’t have to do so much about it.
So, if you would like to have a better smile, you may consider getting the treatment from this Beverly Hills teeth whitening clinic run by Dr. Maddahi. This clinic has all the advance dental technology that includes X-rays, air drills, and miniature cameras. But then, after this treatment, you will have a brighter and prettier smile.
I think it’s time for me to arrange another appointment with my dentist too.
