Vitamin C SR 500mg Shaklee.

As-salam =)

 

Rasanya Vitamin C memang tak asing lagi kan dalam kehidupan kita? Semuanya dah sedia maklum akan kebaikan vitamin c terhadap ketahanan tubuh badan dan kecantikan kulit. Bila cakap pasal cantik sahaja, memang sangat sinonim dengan perempuan tanpa mengira peringkat umur. Okay, secara sepintas lalu jom tengok kebaikan vitamin c secara umum terhadap tubuh badan kita.

• Diperlukan untuk pertumbuhan dan pembaikan tisu, fungsi kelenjar adrenal, dan juga mendapatkan gusi yang sihat dan gigi.
• Melindungi sel tubuh daripada kesan-kesan pencemaran
• Melindungi daripada jangkitan dan selesema, serta meningkatkan imuniti
• Membantu untuk mengurangkan tahap kolesterol, tekanan darah tinggi, dan mencegah aterosklerosis.
• Melindungi daripada pembekuan darah, lebam, menggalakkan penyembuhan luka, dan pengeluaran hormon antistress.
• Penting untuk penyuburan sel darah putih dan juga bertindak sebagai antihistamin semulajadi yang amat berguna untuk mengurangkan hidung bengkak semasa selesema, dan mengurangkan gejala-gejala lain alergi
• Memainkan peranan penting dalam pengeluaran kolagen, yang membantu mencegah penuaan pra-matang.
• Membunuh bakteria patogenik, yang bertindak sebagai antibiotik yang tidak berbahaya.
• Melindungi sel-sel otak dan saraf tunjang, yang sering dirosakkan oleh radikal bebas
• Membantu tubuh menyerap zat besi yang lebih –> berguna dalam rawatan anemia. Ia memainkan peranan penting dalam penghasilan hemoglobin dan sel darah merah.
• Merawat jangkitan saluran kencing.
• Diperlukan untuk metabolisme asid folik dan vitamin lain.

Rata-rata, vitamin c ini terkandung di dalam buah-buahan dengan kadar yang tinggi, diikuti dengan sayur-sayuran dengan kadar yang sederhana dan rendah. Okay, jom lihat pula sumber di mana kita boleh dapatkan bekalan vitamin c ini. 

Tapi, dengan kesibukan tugas zaman sekarang ini, amat susah untuk 'eat right' kan? Ada ke masa kita nak kupas, duduk dan makan buah-buahan? Ya, masa memang ada, tapi rajinkah kita? Rasanya kebanyakan masa lapang kita akan habiskan dengan memakan makanan ringan dan makanan segera yang jauh lebih sedar, murah dan mudah sedia. Jadi, macam mana nak dapatkan vitamin c? Dan di Malaysia, mana pula nak dapatkan stok sumber vitamin seperti yang tersenarai di atas ini dengan harga yang berpatutan?

Sekarang ada banyak jenis supplemen vitamin c di pasaran yang membantu membekalkan vitamin c kepada tubuh secara berterusan sepanjang hari.  Vitamin C SR 500mg dari Shaklee membantu membekalkan vitamin c ke tubuh badan dengan pelepasan berkala.

Kenapa Vit. C SR Shaklee lebih hebat dari Vit. C jenama lain?

1.     Vitamin C Shaklee adalah berbentuk Sustained Release (SR) iaitu pelepasan berkala dan perlahan selama 12 jam ke dalam tubuh badan untuk membolehkan vitamin c ini sentiasa berada dalam tubuh sepanjang hari. Vitamin C adalah sejenis vitamin larut air, mudah musnah serta tidak dapat disimpan lama dalam badan yang akan dikeluarkan melalui air kencing. Oleh itu, dengan adanya teknologi SR ini, maka tubuh akan mendapat khasiat yang lebih. 

2.     Vitamin C SR Shaklee ini adalah bersamaan dengan 7 1/2 biji buah oren bagi setiap tablet 500mg. setiap sejam, 100mg akan dilepaskan dalam badan bagi memenuhi keperluan vitamin c harian. 

3.     Vitamin C + 120mg Bioflavonoid (diekstrek dari kulit buah oren) mempunyai kemampuan meningkatkan keberkesanan vitamin c dalam tubuh, melegakan dan mementang inflamasi, infeksi dan radikal bebas.

Selain daripada kebaikannya seperti yang disenaraikan di atas, percaya atau tidak, vitamin c dari Shaklee ini ternyata jauh lebih murah berbanding pelbagai jenama lain di pasaran! 1 botol mengandungi 180 biji vitamin c 500mg yang hanya perlu diambil sekali sehari sahaja. Ini disebabkan oleh teknologi SR yang membantu membekalkan vitamin c sepanjang hari. Mudah dan murah kan? Vitamin ini hanya berharga RM90.00/botol. Murah kan? 1 botol boleh tahan 6 bulan tau? Stok vitamin adalah amat terhad kerana permintaan yang tinggi. Jadi pastikan di rumah sentiasa ada botol tambahan ya.

A person who can inspire people.

As-salam.

It seems like I am in a very good mood to update blog today. Oh, regarding the tittle of the entry, I want to be that person. It doesn't matter who had inspired me. We all got one specific person to go as a role model. I really admired and inspired by Wardina Safiyyah and Irma Hasmie. And, for one plain person, I choose Kak Bieya. She's a friend of mine. She's so sweet and kind and soft-spoken and so cute to look at! Oh. Going nuts here. But, on top of that, there is someone who inspired me the most - to be successful  yet so beautiful. Not going to mention the name here. 

I guess I will go to bed smiling ^ ^ 

Boleh tak nak bubuh mood bawah ni? Haha.

MOOD: Happy :) Inspired 8) Anxious 6) Impatient :P 

Okay, semuanya nak ikut orang!

As-salam =)

Bila sudah namanya perempuan, memang sungguh irrational bila bab kecantikan, setuju? Kebanyakannya lah kan..terutamanya bila pilih baju, kasut, tudung, accessories atau barang make-up! Aku? Of course lah aku termasuk dalam senarai ni. LOL. So, since today aku sangat lapang, aku mula blog-walking. Objektif utama ialah untuk 'merisik-risik' pasal beauty segments. Satu perkara yang aku masih tak mampu untuk get it right ialah berkenaan dengan concealer & foundation. Sigh! Muka jenis kering ni kalau silap sapu boleh nampak kesan menggelupas tu. Itulah masalah terbesar aku sekarang. But, by foundation, I don't mean it to be something thick macam untuk ke majlis-majlis besar. Cuma sesuatu yang ringkas dan mudah dipakai sehari-hari.

Kalau dulu, aku memang pengguna setia produk Mustika Ratu. Dari penjagaan rambut, hinggalah ke alat solek. But, propa je lebih 'cause aku cuma beli set shampoo dan alas bedak :p

Kuning langsat untuk kulit normal/kering

Overall, produk ni memang produk yang paling sesuai dengan kulit aku ^ ^ Tak nampak heavy macam off-occasion! Dan yang paling penting, kulit tak nampak menggelupas dan tahan lama. Habis sahaja satu botol terus beli baru. Harga jual dekat Jusco Perda ialah RM5.90 sahaja, okay? ..dengan menggunakan Kad Jusco, of course! Hehe. But, in some kiosk, you may find the price is nearly RM10.00. Cekik darah, kan? Dah setahun rasanya tak guna alas bedak ni, tapi bukan sebab tak elok ke apa. Cuma sangat malas dah nak keluar bersiap lebih-lebih. Cukup sekadar krim dan bedak kompak. Krim tu pun already have sun-block. So, sayonara sun-block. Bedak kompak pun nipis-nipis sahaja - tujuan untuk ratakan krim dan bagi tahan lama.

Tapi, rasanya macam nak cuba jenama lain jugak! Teruja tengok BB CREAM yang berlambak di pasaran. Dah survey beberapa jenama. Tukang promot barangan ni kebanyakannya comel-comel belaka, so rasanya aku memang dah termakan dengan umpan tu. Even though aku sedia maklum tentang perbezaan kulit, tapi aku gigih jugak budget untuk beli benda-benda tu.

SUPER BB CREAM

BAVIPHAT BB MAGIC GIRLS

COLOR NATURATOR

Semuanya dalam pemerhatian aku sekarang ni. For tonight, aku jadi sangat tertarik dengan COLOR NATURATOR, ok? Ada satu blog ni telah memuatkan entri tentang macam mana nak apply this thing. Untuk tutorial tu, beliau telah menggunakan item CODE 171. Penggunaannya lebih untuk menutup 'mata panda' kita semua, terutamanya anak gadis yang masih belajar - tidur tak cukup tu adalah mesti!. Hasilnya, sangat mengagumkan! Seriously, aku terpaku!

SEBELUM

SELEPAS

TAPI, lepas make-up, memang so cute and looks so damn natural! For now, really tak putuskan lagi nak carry on dengan jenama apa. But, despite of all three brands, I may say this 'Baviphat' leads the way. Sekarang kan 'demam Korea', so everything much looks at least almost the same. Paling cikai pun kena ada barang-barang (terutamanya alat solek!) ala-ala Korea. Definately not me lar! Aku dah tak beli barang ikut trend semasa semata-mata. Banyak yang perlu ditimbang tolak sebab beli barang untuk pakai lama.

So, until it is decided, you go browse yourself about which brand suits you best! Ini sebagai cadangan sahaja ^ ^ dan sebagai penghilang bosan di Malam Tahun Naga. 

LOL.

"Excuse me, you have body odor!"

As-salam =)

Body odor is an unpleasant odor that oozes from a person's body. I am positive enough that everybody had experienced body odor. We all have body odor! It is all about how we manage oneself, eliminating the unwanted odor of the body. My experience of the situation is barely about what female friends do to be more hygienic. 

Female, we suffered more of this body odor, especially during the 'full moon' days. Right? Me too! It happens to me like always. Below is a short list about how I manage myself during my 'ladies day' :

• Bath, like often. Use bubbly soap with refreshing fragrant (I suggest lime or lemon!). Buy yourself a sponge to really get the stubborn odor out of the body (But my idea of buying myself a sponge is to really get this girly feeling. LOL!)
• Wear clean cloth. OR, if you're in my situation (living at hostel - cutting cost on laundry), once you detect even slightly unpleasant smell coming from the cloth, throw it in the laundry bucket like ASAP! It is a signal of growing bacterias.
• Use fragrant. I use fragrant like always, even on my weekend at my hostel. By fragrant, I mean NOT APPLYING PERFUME! Just body lotion or deodorant will do! =)

Hear me out girlfriend! It is all about disciplines! 

Bad body odor really means poor disciplines managing the hygiene. It is such a shame that we, girls and women can't even take care of the body properly. If this happens to you, it is a signal that you are not ready with relationship stuffs. Like, trust me!

So, bath always!

Do some researches on the causes of boyd odor, diseases that cause body odor and its alternative treatments. 

Here are some additional tips I found on the internet. So, let's eliminate bad body odor, girls! Start on a self project now!!!! 

Tips

• If you are experiencing unusual body odor, schedule an appointment with your physician. However, while you are waiting to be seen, there are a few strategies for controlling the unpleasant smells: Pour 1 cup of hydrogeine peroxide in your bath water. Wipe the area where the odor is coming from with white vinegar. Finally, in areas that heavy prespriation occurs, use baby or talc powder.

Be better, be more hygienic! 

Home made Skin Bleaches

As-salam =)

Bleach the skin, how does it works? And what make it works? I've seeing this one beauty center advertising about 'bleaching'. They claim to enlighten the body skin through this procedure called 'bleach' technique. With what, I don't really know. Laser, perhaps? After all, I can guarantee you that most customers eager to get fast result. Right? That's why they paid the beautician for.

Fast result but too many side effects are not worth paying for. So, let's get traditional. Use natural remedies that can easily find in our kitchen. For this, you might need:

1. Orange peels
2. Raw milk
3. Almonds
4. Honey
5. Few grams of flour
6. Tumaric
7. Lemon/lime juice
8. Milk cream

Read the following instructions:
(This are several methods that readers can do. Your choice!)

1. Make a citrus paste to lighten your skin. Take the peels of oranges and dry them in the sun until hard. The citric acid in orange (and lemon) is said to have bleaching properties. Grind the fully dried peels into a fine powder. Add raw milk to the powder to make a paste. Apply the paste to your skin one to two times daily, leaving on the skin for 10 to 15 minutes. Wash the paste off with warm water when it has dried completely.
2. Use almonds to make a paste for bleaching skin. Soak almonds in water overnight and peel them in the morning. Make a paste and add a few drops of honey. Apply the paste onto your skin, scrubbing it off thoroughly when it has dried.
3. Make a paste for lightening skin with gram flour. Mix two spoons of gram flour, a pinch of turmeric, three drops of lemon juice, and a few drops of milk cream into a smooth paste and apply to the skin. Wash thoroughly when the paste has dried. This paste can be applied to the entire body.

Imagine, such a beautiful girl; long healthy hair, fair complexion, drolling body shape, sexy lips, fine attitude ... BUT with dark armpits sit beside you table showed hers by incident. What would you think? If I were in her shoes, I would pack up my things, wrap the food I ordered and leave. It is so embarrassing for a girl or a woman to have 'not-so-beautiful- armpit. Yes, people can argue about why should a female (when it comes to armpit, people will easily appointed to female rather than male) have a clean and beautiful armpit (no dark shades). 


One point can answer it all.

1. Most of women will get married some day. Do you want the husband to see the dark shades of your armpit? When one get intimate, armpit is one of the sensual part of the women body. Remember that!

Well, I think I clearly made my point. =) Women with hair pits (I referred here as long armpit - more than 1 cm long) is a type of women whom are poor in hygiene. Think about the body odour. Yucks! 

Here, I attached some of related websites for readers further reading about the topic. It is so cool that you can actually do some experiments to one same idea, 'bleach'.

Until next time.

Bedak sejuk

As-salam =)

I was thought about making my own 'bedak sejuk'. Rather than buying it, I think it is appropriate for me to make mine, adding stuffs as I please. I was searching for 'rahsia kecantikan wanita jepun' on the internet when I found this link about the resemblance between this Japan's beauty product, called 'Miracle Water' and Malay traditional beauty enhancer, the 'bedak sejuk'. 

Technically, this Miracle water from the brand of SK II is extracted from rice itself, same as beduk sejuk by the process of fermentation. So, why waste such money on exactly same thing? To be honest, I do love wear this Malay traditional beauty product. It helps lighten my facial skin, especially the sun-burn part! But, of course, not everybody get the same result and suit with such product, even the expansive one. 

For those who have not see this bedak sejuk, here they are:

This is how it looks like! White in color, tear-in-shape. I never made one! But, I am totally eager to try it this coming semester break. =) Yeay, I am a maniac! I knew that! I am a total obsess about this D-I-Y thing! I rahter blend my own body scrub rather than buying it at the supermarket. Haha.

I may look modern and so up to date on the outside, but as a person, I still believe in some traditional (and slightly superstitious) believes; 'petua-petua Melayu', 'pantang larang'.  I believe that as a youngster, it is important for us to know this traditional stuffs. One day we might need it and I could pass it on to my next generation. =)

I sound matured, don't I?

Haha. It's funny how somebody like myself, at the age of early 20th can really think beyond 50 years time. Haha. My biological age must really told it different! Just the opposite. 

Well, until the next post. Farewell then, dear readers! =)

How to be yourself?

As-salam =)

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. 

Being yourself is celebrating you, as an individual - learning to express yourself and be happy with who you are. For some people, it's learning to love yourself, for others, it's not hiding who you are or changing things about you to fit in. So read on to know how to express the inner you.

Steps

   1. Define yourself. You can't be yourself if you don't know, understand, and accept yourself first. It should be your primary goal to find this out. Try to take time to yourself and contemplate your life and choices. Try to think about what kind of things you would or wouldn't like to do, and act accordingly; finding out through trial and error helps more than you might think it does. You can even take personality tests, but be careful to only take what you want from them and not let them define you. Work on accepting mistakes and choices you've made; they're done and in the past, so there is no use crying over spilled milk.



   2. Stop caring about how people perceive you. The fact is, it really doesn't matter. It's impossible to be yourself when you're caught up in wondering "Do they think I'm funny? Does she think I'm fat? Do they think I'm stupid?" To be yourself, you've got to let go of these concerns and just let your behavior flow, with only your consideration of others as a filter — not their consideration of you. Besides, if you change yourself for one person or group, another person or group may not like you, and you could go around in a vicious cycle trying to please people; it's totally pointless in the end, and it leaves you exhausted. However, if someone you trust and respect critiques aspects of who you are, feel free to judge (honestly) whether or not it is accurate instead of accepting or dismissing the critique unconditionally.

   3. Be honest and open. What have you got to hide? We're all imperfect, growing, learning human beings. If you feel ashamed or insecure about any aspect of yourself — and you feel that you have to hide those parts of you, whether physically or emotionally — then you have to come to terms with that and learn to convert your so-called flaws into individualistic quirks. Be honest with yourself, but don't beat yourself up; apply this philosophy to others, as well. There is a difference between being critical and being honest; learn to watch the way you say things to yourself and others when being honest.

   4. Relax. Stop worrying about the worst that could happen, especially in social situations. So what if you fall flat on your face? Or get spinach stuck in your teeth? Learn to laugh at yourself both when it happens and afterwards. Turn it into a funny story that you can share with others. It lets them know that you're not perfect and makes you feel more at ease, too. It's also an attractive quality for someone to be able to laugh at themselves and not take themselves too seriously!

   5. Develop and express your individuality. Whether it's your sense of style, or even your manner of speaking, if your preferred way of doing something strays from the mainstream, then be proud of it... unless it's destructive to yourself or others. Be a character, not a type.

   6. Have a productive day. Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and that some days you are the statue. People might raise eyebrows and even make fun, but as long as you can shrug and say "Hey, that's just me" and leave it at that, people will ultimately respect you for it, and you'll respect yourself.

   7. Believe in who you are. If you're always working to be someone you're not, you'll never be a happy person. Be yourself and show the world you're proud of the way you are! Nobody knows you better than you and that's how it should be. You deserve to be your own best friend, so start trying to figure out how you can do that. If you had to hang out with yourself for a day, what is the most fun type of person you could be, while still being yourself? What is the best version of you? Believe in this idea and use that as your starting point. Love and accept yourself as you are now.

   8. Follow your own style. The common thing a lot of people do is copy other's actions because it seems like the better route to fit in, but really, shouldn't you stand out? Standing out is very hard, yes, but you need to try avoid assuming other people's perspectives of you. Even if it's not something you would normally do; that's what being yourself is all about. Maybe you like to sit outside on the deck under an umbrella in the middle of the rain, maybe you have different ideas of things, rather than other people, maybe you like strawberry cake instead of the common chocolate cake, whatever you are, accept it. Being different is absolutely beautiful and it attracts people to you.

Tips

    * There's a big difference between being yourself and being rude.You might have your opinions, dreams, and preferences, but so does everyone else. You shouldn't disrespect people who disagree with you; they have the privilege of being themselves just as you do. Conversely, don't agree with something you honestly don't think is right; just don't try to force your opinions on other people.

    * If fads or trends strike your fancy, don't avoid them! Being yourself is all about reflecting who you are inside in what you do, and what you like is what you like, no matter how trendy it is (or not trendy, for that matter)!

    * As the famous song goes, "Life's not worth a damn, until you can say 'I am what I am.' " When you can sincerely say it, you will know that you can be yourself.

    * If the people you care about are setting standards for you they are trying to change who you are.

    * Even if you are interested in something that doesn't interest most people, don't be afraid or hide it; stand up and show your true inner self. People will know how confident you are.

    * Don't worry about anything but being yourself and living life to the fullest!

    * If you have a habit that helps you escape your worries, e.g gaming or browsing the internet, stop going and face yourself and your insecurities.

    * In some cases, reducing Internet dependency might help you feel more "connected" to yourself. It may be easier to nurture your individuality without the perpetual distractions of the Internet. Try not going online for a while, and if this leads you to start feeling better about yourself, then you may want to consider replacing all the excess time you spend on the Internet with offline activities, such as hobbies or clubs.

    * Think about it this way: Being your weird, goofy self has some ups and downs. Some people might think you're weird, call you names behind your back, or laugh at you. But by far the majority of people will have the utmost respect for you because you are brave enough to stand up to these things. People want to make friends with people who have something special about them: whether they make them feel good, have a different sense of humor, or even something as simple as being a great cook. If everyone on the planet had the same attitude or personality, the world would be a boring place.

Warnings

    * It needs to be understood that "being yourself" does not have anything to do with forcing yourself to just do whatever you desire or pretending that you don't care how others perceive you. It is actually the process of listening to your inner feelings and maintaining personal integrity. If you are truly uncomfortable with your pimples or your size and that is impeding your self esteem, work on these things. If you are constantly getting angry and this makes you feel alienated, work on it.

    * Just because you don't care about how people perceive you doesn't mean you shouldn't be aware of it, especially in situations where being yourself might be misinterpreted. For example, you might enjoy being friendly and flirtatious, but in some cultures, that might be perceived as a sexual invitation, and you could get yourself in trouble.

    * Don't lose yourself when you're with other friends. Be yourself. Don't be someone else so other people will like you; in the end, you would end up hurting other people and losing yourself.
    * Don't think that being yourself means that you cannot change who you are. You want to be a person that you can be proud of, so if there is some way you can improve yourself, go for it. Don't allow your shortcomings to discourage you, but don't ignore them either.

    * Make sure that you can show the same "you" to everyone consistently. If you feel the need to be secretive about something wrong you've done, you are not really being yourself; it will show and misunderstandings will occur. Do what's right. You cannot truly be yourself unless you can face yourself.

    * Keep in mind that 'being yourself' is not always the right thing to do. Would you tell a despicable person to just be himself and not change a thing? No. Most of the time when people in general perceive you a certain way, it means you don't fit in to your society. Whether you want to fit in or not is up to you, but you are only setting yourself up for trouble when you neglect society's ways. (That is, unless you decide to live in a cave for the rest of your life.)

    * Nobody is perfect. However, if you are outrageously flawed (for example, have a short temper), then you should look into some self-improvement rather than ignoring everyone's cues and "being yourself." Don't deny yourself of the truth by saying it's everyone else's problem and not yours. You'll only be hurting yourself in the long run.

    * While you're being you, remember that "you" might have your flaws that might need to be changed, but only for the better (materialistic things/personality do not count, such as your favorite bag that everybody ridicules, or if you talk quietly). Goals and bad habits count. Say, you have bad acne and you've been stressing on it for a while. Don't say "well, 'I' have bad acne, and I want to be myself, so I'll give up on getting rid of it." Or if you have some bad habits, don't say "it's a part of me, that's the way it is," because you can still change yourself for the better and in ways which will make you grow.

    * Being yourself can be cool and can get people to notice you, but don't overdo it. Sometimes it's good to just go with the flow and not stick out like a sore thumb

    * Try not to mock people different to you; for all you know others could be making fun of you! Be better than them by setting an example.

    * Remember, everyone is showing you a mirror of yourself! You have 100% responsibility for yourself and your actions!

Tattion tab

As-salam =)

I think I have a issue here. I barely noticed that I've became a total freak about beauty. I obsessed about oral consumption. Yes, a total obsess! I found this pill - not a magic pill. Haha. 

'Tattion Tablet'

For those who are interested, kindly read the benefits I listed below:

Benefits :

a) Improves pigmentation of the skin such as melasma, scars, improper
chemical peel and post chicken pox.
b) It helps the skin look smoother and achieve even color.
c) It is an anti oxidant and enhances liver function.
d) It also helps cure diseases of the eye such as disorder of eyeball tissues, cornea,
cataract and optic nerve.

Eye catching, isn't it? I've been searching for the range price and found nothing. I am eager to try one! Like, seriously! Don't you want a healthy, clear and glowing skin? I know I do. Here is the link to an online shop selling this Tattion Tab.

 Online shop - Tattion Tab

But, my advise, whenever we want to try something new, especially when it comes to oral consumption, do this simple guideline first:

1. Check the ingredients
2. Check self allergies
3. Find more information about the products - the price, where to buy
4. Read several testimonials

Seriously, it is important to always do this guideline. But, this is my kind of guideline whenever I look and browsing stuffs, especially when I browse and plan to buy something online. Feel free to add or remove the items on the guideline's list.

Happy reading =)

Today's topic: Acnes

As-salam =)

Happy Monday, everyone! I've been doing some reading on supplements. My concern these days is about my darkening+dry facial skin due to sun-burned. A friend of mine suggest this herbal supplements for acne skin. My problem is not really about acnes (well, not so serious, but bothers me sometimes!), just darkening and a bit scaly facial, especially around the nose.

She suggests,

Personally, I really do interested in it! There are some other supplement products by usage, such as for detoxification, women's health, eye sight, joint and bone health, etc. Kindly click to this for further details about the products. I used to constantly take Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) bought at local pharmacies (not under the brand of Kordel's). EPO really do works for somebody who has never take and planning to take one. EPO works best to repair, strengthens and maintain hair and nails health, instead of letting or circulate a regular period flow and decrease period pain for women. 

I am about to try this Kordel's, but still not deciding whether to go for an EPO  or just try this Anti-Acne. Hmm.. tough choice, huh? Oh, by the way, the range price is about RM50.00 - RM60.00 only. Very economical for a desperate person like myself. Seriously, hate seeing myself with this total major sun-burned+ dryness+pimples on the face.

Sigh! Its hard being a women, don't you think? Women always care about silly things! Even A pimple, they would scream to death and keep on applying acne cream over and over again. Haha. Maniac much! I, my ultimate choice to dry up pimples is my favourite acne product, OXY!

OXY - suits me best! My over-grown pimples dry up in just two days time, and just banished! Seriously, like not-a-joke! Yes, it is a bit expansive for 25g products, but like trust me, NOT EVEN A SCAR!

 (Never poop-out pimples using nails and finger if you want to maintain a clear facial skin!) 

Here are some useful tips to do before you 'scope-out' the pimples off the skin.

1. Wash the face first
2. Pour a hot boiling water on a bowl, and put some slices of lemon or 'limau kasturi'
3. Steam the face - cover the head with a clean face towel (use to trap the steam)

It is important to softens and opened-up pores before you start the 'digging' process in order tominimize the skin injuries. 

That's all for now. =) 

Thanks for reading.

Key requirement for healthy hair and nail

As-salam =)

Hey folks! Guess what? Dr. Ben Kim is back on action again! Woohoo... !!!

Here how it goes for one who wants a healthy hair and nail.

Must try, OK?

I'm not aware of any remedies for hair loss and brittle nails that work equally well for everyone.
But I have noticed over the years that ensuring regular intake of vitamin C and calcium from whole foods usually leads to significant improvement in both areas. This is one of many reasons why broccoli has always been a healthy food choice for the masses.  It's naturally abundant in vitamin C, calcium, and several other minerals that support C and calcium in building and maintaining hair, nails, and even your bones and teeth. Eating broccoli raw is fine, though your digestive tract can extract more nutrients out of broccoli if you cook it.  But keep in mind that steaming is a better choice than boiling, as boiling leads to some loss of nutrients to the water.

A good alternative to steaming is roasting broccoli. Roasting broccoli softens up its fibers to allow for improved nutrient extraction, and also creates natural sweetness and a slightly nutty flavor. 

OH MY NEW BFF, MR.BROCCOLI !

This super simple recipe is a delicious way for you and your family to enjoy all of the health benefits of broccoli - few other vegetables are as naturally abundant in indole-3-carbinol, a powerful antioxidant that is thought to offer significant protection against all types of cancer. When roasted, broccoli takes on a bit of a nutty flavour. Even the kids will love roasted broccoli!

For this recipe, you'll need:

1 head of broccoli, washed and cut into florets
2 teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of one lemon
Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Once you have washed and cut broccoli into bite-sized florets, add to a large bowl and add olive oil.

Toss broccoli with olive oil to evenly coat. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to taste, and toss again to distribute.

Lay florets in a single layer on a baking dish or sheet. Bake until tender, usually around 15 minutes. Right after you take the florets out of the oven, drizzle with fresh lemon juice.

Oven-roasted broccoli is delicious by itself or with any whole grain like quinoa or brown rice.

For added flavour, include a few slices of creamy avocado.

And, DONE! =)

A very good technique to make someone like me to start loving broccoli! (hate it! oh, and avocado too!) I am positively sure that the taste of sour lemon, hot-hot blackpaper and a pinch of salt will dilute, absorb into the most-hated  vegetable, THE BROCCOLI!

Haha. No offense, OK? 

Home made Body Scrub!

As-salam =)

A friend of mine complaints about how scaly his skin gets when exposed to too much sunlight. Haha. Hey, we are the PE student. Scaly skin and sunburned, always! Take cover by:

1. Apply some amounts of sunblock. (I suggest sunblock SPF130 PA++ by Sunplay! A bit expensive, yet works well!)
2. Scrub, scrub and scrub!

I just love to do my own body scrub. I trust the traditional methods and ingredients more. The ingredients and apparatus are:

• A bottle jar (Mayonese bottle will do!)
• A blender
• Rice grain (Any type)

CHEAP, SAFE & SIMPLE! 

JUST REQUIRE A LITTLE EFFORT FROM YOU GUYS!

1. Stir and heat up some amount of rice grains. Do not use and pour cooking oil while do this. Notice that the flame is just moderate. Stir well until the rice grains turn slightly yellow and darker color. 
2. Place it aside for awhile to cool up before you continue.
3. Blend it well.
4. Ready to use!   

This is how I made my body scrub. You can always modify the body scrub ingredients. For example, you can also blend green beans along with it.Green beans are great to dry up body pimples and to remove minor scars traditionally. 

OR, you can just switch the plain rice grains with gluticious rice (beras pulut). As I noticed, most of Thailand ladies have smooth, tender and beautiful skin. I did some research about their beauty secret and found out that they always eat this gluticious rice and scrub with it. And eat 'kunyit hidup' rawly (jadikan ulam). Once a month, I trained myself to blend and mix the 'kunyit hidup' along with my home made scrub and bathed with it. Don't worry! It won't make your skin yellow in color. =)

This is my home made scrub,

Believe me, not? 

Seriously, try it! =)

Siapa yang cantik?

As-salam =)

Happy Thursday, everyone! =) As you may know, today (7 July 2011) is actually a public holiday for Penang due to its memorable of historical city (Bandaraya Bersejarah - tak reti la nak translate in formal English. haha). I considered today as a perfect day to relax and self-reflect as I sort of losing grip on something in some parts, especially when it comes to class routine, like the class register? I totally too tired to neat it up! Now, here comes my chance! =) 

But, for today, my first self-reflect is gonna be on, 'Siapa lebih cantik'? I was scrolling down my facebook's page when I saw a note, shared by a friend of mine. 

Here's the note.

********************************************************************

Kalau di Bollywood mungkin kata mereka, Aishwarya Rai yang tercantik, atau di Hollywood, Paris Hilton adalah cantik pada pandangan mereka dan mungkin juga di Malaysia, Fasha Sandha yang tercantik.

Siapa agaknya yang dapat memberi definisi dan ciri-ciri tepat tentang apa yang dikatakan sebagai 'cantik'?

Cantik adalah sesuatu yang sangat subjektif. Setiap orang mempunyai definisi kecantikan masing-masing.

Mungkin bagi saya, cantik adalah begitu dan begini, tapi bagi anda, lain pula.

Tiada siapa dapat memberi definisi tepat tentang cantik.

Mata lah yang akan mendefinisi cantik. Namun kini, pada pendapat saya, barat sudah pun mempengaruhi definisi cantik pada dunia dan hampir seluruh dunia memakai definisi cantik barat.

Kadang kala, cantik juga didefinisi mengikut tempat, kaum dan budaya.

Kalau di barat sekarang, the thinner the better, tapi berbeza pula di Mauritania, Africa, the bigger the better.

Orang di barat berperang dengan aneroksia dan bulimia akibat mahu kurus, sebaliknya di Mauritania, wanita mengamalkan 'makan paksa' sejak berumur 5-6 tahun untuk gemuk, agar menjadi cantik dan mudah mendapat jodoh.

Sungguh berbeza kan? Definisi kecantikan yang sungguh berbeza.

Ataupun, ada juga yang sanggup melakukan pelbagai cara yang pada pandangan kita pelik dan tidak masuk akal tetapi pada mereka, itulah cantik!

Satu kaum di Thailand menganggap leher panjang itu cantik, lantas sejak dari umur 5 tahun lagi, mereka sudah dipakaikan gelang logam di leher agar leher mereka akan menjadi semakin panjang dan panjang dan panjang justeru mereka cantik dan mudah mendapat jodoh.

Di Sarawak pula, suku kaum Oran Ulu menganggap telinga panjang itu sangat cantik pada mata mereka, lagi panjang, lagi cantiklah seseorang wanita itu pada pandangan mereka.

Tapi kini, generasi muda sudah tidak lagi mengamalkan amalan ini. (Mungkin sudah terikut-ikut definisi cantik barat..hmmm)

Perlukah jadi cantik?

Di Mexico, kaum wanita menghabiskan separuh dari gaji mereka untuk kecantikan seperti ke salun, malahan ada juga pakej bayar secara ansuran untuk pembedahan plastik.

Atau di Iran, pembedahan hidung sangat popular di sana.

Wanita Iran sanggup berkorban wang ringgit demi mendapatkan hidung yang diidam-idamkan lantaran kata mereka, hidung mereka besar.

Tetapi saya tertanya-tanya juga, bukankah mereka Islam dan Islam melarang pembedahan plastik untuk tujuan kecantikan? Wallahualam.

Bayangkan betapa wanita-wanita ini mahu kelihatan cantik.

Betapa pentingnya menjadi cantik pada seorang wanita itu.

Macam-macam sanggup dikorbankan, wang ringgit, masa, kesakitan yang perlu ditanggung demi cantik, bahkan, hukum agama pun sanggup dilanggar demi cantik.

Tidak kisahlah perbuatan mereka dilarang agama, janji mereka kelihatan cantik. Plastic surgery,Botox, liposuction, gastric bypass sekarang bermain di sekitar hidup wanita demi cantik.

Walaupun mereka sedar akan kesan sampingan perbuatan ini, semua itu ditolak tepi, demi CANTIK.

Innallah jamil, wa yuhibbu jamal: Allah itu cantik dan sukakan kecantikan.

Kata mereka, apabila diri terasa cantik, barulah mereka ada keyakinan diri.

Saya juga bersetuju dengan ini, tetapi bukanlah sampai sanggup berkorban segalanya demi cantik.

Allah suka akan kecantikan, tetapi bukan lah sehingga mengubah ciptaanNya.

Tambahan lagi, mereka yang ekstrem mahu kelihatan cantik ini, bukanlah mahu kelihatan cantik di mata Allah, tapi di mata manusia. Semuanya dilakukan agar kelihatan cantik pada manusia dan agar mendapat tempat di hati manusia.

Dulu sewaktu kecil, saya juga suka kelihatan cantik.

Kalau baju pink, maka seluruh badan perlu pink termasuklah sepit dan pengikat rambut. Tapi kini, saya bukan perempuan yang obses cantik, kerana pada saya, cantik bukan sekadar di wajah, tapi cantik itu dari akhlak dan keimanannya kepada Pencipta.  

Cantik akan pudar walau cuba dipertahankan, tapi akhlak itu hiasan yang kekal pada diri seorang wanita.

Wanita yang cantik akhlaknya, maka cantiklah luarannya.

Tiada guna mempunyai wajah seindah bidadari kerana satu hari nanti, kita cuma akan menjadi tengkorak yang menakutkan.

Bukanlah tidak perlu menjadi cantik dan perlu mejadi buruk sedangkan Allah menyukai kecantikan, tetapi, biarlah cantik itu kerana Allah, dan definisi cantik itu juga perlu sesuai dengan Islam.

Janganlah sanggup melanggar larangan agama demi kelihatan cantik.

Perbaikilah akhlak diri sekaligus, anda akan kelihatan cantik pada pandangan Allah dan pandangan manusia.

Bersyukurlah dan berpuas hati lah dengan kurniaan Allah kepada kita, dan gunakan ia sebaik-baiknya hanya keranaNya.

Tiada yang lebih indah pada ibu bapa selain anak-anak yang soleh solehah, tiada yang lebih bahagia pada seorang suami selain seorang isteri yang solehah dan tiada yang lebih bernilai pada Allah selain hambaNya yang soleh solehah.

This is something we don't get everyday; self-reflect on what is beauty! I don't easily judge people by  the way they look because I happened to know some friends whom are not as good as they look. But, to be honest, sometimes I do depends on one appearances for my first impression. Example of the situation often to be when my previous boyfriend (my C H E N T A now, he never cheats on me!) cheated on me with another girl. So, I would 'read' my enemy by the way she looks to estimate how she would/could react. OR, I could say, 'No. She's not even pretty', to ease up my feeling towards the situation. In that way, I'll gain my confident and stay calm longer. Trust me, I am not the one who could stand  affair, and not a perfect partner to be with IF you plan on cheating. I would do everything to express my feeling. For example, once I found out about the cheating, I rent a car and drive a long hours to his place, get in a fight - slap and mock them, then I left. Yes, I am a punk back to old days! I don't even know what is wrong and what is right at the time. 

But, it is just it! Alhamdulillah, I am more matured now and considerable. 

Self-reflected! How about you?
