Getting Rid of Cellulite and Tummy Fats with Zaggora

Working at home  has a lot of benefits but it comes  with a disadvantage as well.  Since most of our task is being done   on the computer, we tend to  sit a lot of times.  This causes  tummy fats and  forming of cellulite due to lack of movement.  I made some changes  recently where I  don't sit when I do my online hopping.  I push away my  chair and  do a squat position.  It strengthen your legs and helps burn calories as well.  

Anyway, Zaggora sent another pair of work out  clothing, a hot pants and a Coola Bra.  I won't get into details about the hot pants as I have  reviewed it already and  love wearing it   most of the times.  They also sent me  Coola Bra in orange color. This is available in different colors but I am glad they sent me an orange one as it match perfectly with the top that I bought recently at Macy's. The coola bra cost $39. It is a perfect underlayer and very secure which I love because it is comfortable when I run. It has removable molded cups and has a special cooling fabric technology that would keep you fresh. That's one thing I really love about Zaggora clothing, they uses materials that no matter how you sweat, it would make you stay fresh and cool and it does not smell unlike other fitness clothing that I have. 

Let me tell you the result  that I have from wearing the Zaggora hot pants.  I got rid of the cellulite I have in my  butt cheeks and I am very happy about it.  I am working on  some of the cellulite that I have in  my upper thighs and I am hoping that with regular exercise, I would be able to  shed it off.

The medicine ball, jump rope, and hula hoops helps me in dealing with the love handle that I have.    Right now, I still have like an inch to  shed off but it's getting better.  Hopefully I could keep my mojo in working out.  I was a bit disappointed when I weighed myself the other day, I went from 96 lbs to 100 lbs.  I was bummed out  because I can see  that my tummy fat and love handle is slowly  going away but I gained weight.  Hubby said that it's because I am gaining muscle as I lose the fat and the former is  heavier than the latter.  Still, the reason I am working out is to maintain my  double digit weight and not gain weight wahhh.  Oh well, muscle  is better than fat so I guess I can't really complain.

Photos above were taken by my husband yesterday after I went  for a run.  Below is this morning after I run and cooling off  at our backyard.

I am grateful to Zaggora for sending me another pair of great  fitness clothing.  I am excited that they  are now days away to launch the  fitness clothing for men.  My husband  would really like their clothing.  I hope I could save some moolah  to get him a pair and I am also planning to buy me a full body blazer or a hooded body blazer that I can use during cold season.

Five Anti-Aging Skin Care Ingredients Worth Knowing About

Many skin care products are reported to prevent, or improve the appearance of aging skin, but not all live up to their claims. With so many products on the market how do you know you are buying something that will actually work? An understanding of skin care ingredients doesn't go astray. Let's check out five ingredients with proven anti-aging potential.

1. Peptides

Collage acts as a support system for the skin, keeping it smooth and firm. As people age, collagen production diminishes and this can cause wrinkles and saggy skin. Peptides are one of the skin care ingredients that promote increased collagen growth. They basically trick the skin into producing more collagen than it was naturally, giving aging skin a boost.

2. Retinol

Retinol is an over-the-counter version of Vitamin A. There is good evidence that this product can help increase cell turnover of the skin and therefore increase the production of collage. Many dermatologists recommend retinol, or the full strength prescription Retin-A for wrinkle prevention and to even out the skin. This product is typically designed to be used at night and washed off before exposing your skin to the sun during the day. Always wear sunscreen during the day when using retinol based products. Sally Beauty has a good range of retinol creams and serums at a good price and they often have extra promotions or offers running that can save you extra money.

3. Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that can help prevent and improve signs of aging by helping to protect the skin from free radicals. It is commonly used in many skin care products designed to fade pigmentation because it has a brightening effect on the skin. It can also be used to help heal marks from recent acne and is another ingredient that helps increase the production of collage. Ulta has a good range of Vitamin C products including the accliamed Vitamin C Ester by Dr. Perricone, as shown below.

4. Hyaluronic Acid

Hydrated skin looks younger than dehydrated skin because skin that is plumped up by moisture helps to conceal lines and wrinkles. Skin care ingredients that attract moisture to the skin can therefore by very beneficial to againg skin. Hyaluronic acid is one of the best moisture attracting ingredients available today. It can hold moisture at up to 1000 times its own weight. Hyaluronic acid is often combined with other ingredients on this list.

5. Ceramides

Ceramides are made from lipids and fatty molecules that are naturally produced by the body. There is some evidence that suggests that applying ceramides topically can help keep the skin hydrated and firm. They are also reported to help strengthen the walls of veins, reducing the appearance of spider veins. Many skin care products designed for women 45+ contain ceramides.

​

Ideally, look for products that include one or more of the ingredients listed above, in the top half of the ingredients list. This means the product contains a high percentage of that ingredient. Some products are labeled as having an ingredient but could be mostly made up of filler and an ineffective level of the active ingredient.

The SkinStore beauty website offers concise ingredients lists for the products they sell. They have a great range of anti-aging skincare, such as the Elizabeth Arden ceramide capsules, as shown above. You will often finds coupons available for this store at BluePromoCode!

Babyliss Tourmaline 500 Hair Curler

People   would always want what they don't have right?  When I was a kid, I would always bug my  mother to curl my straight hair.  I don't know why I had that fascination of curly hair when I was young;  Now that I am older, I love my  natural straight hair.  Once in a while, I  like having a  different look just to break the monotone of my hair style. I am glad that  there are products that can satisfy that "want" for a lot of women like me.  

I have received another  set of  hair products from Flat Iron Experts.

1.  Babyliss Tourmaline 500 Hair Curler ($84.99), rated number two from the best curling iron list from Flat Iron Experts.  This specific curling iron emits  negative ions and far infrared heat that brings additional benefits to your hair such as; eliminating static electricity, preserved more moisture within your hair shaft, neutralizes odor, and causes less damage to  your hair cuticle.

2.  KQC Thermal Shine Spray ($13.99), to protect your hair from heat of the curling or  any other flat iron products.  I like it that  there is product like this that  could help avoid cetain damage to your hair.

I don't really want the heavy curl, I just want  a little swirl to my hair  just to feel a little "kinkiness" hehehe.  The key to   keeping the curl  is by  leaving it as it is  after you  curl it.  If you brush it right away, you will end up  with a straighter hair again just like  my hair below.  I did not wait a longer time and I brushed it so I lost the curl.

I am not an expert when it comes to using hair products such as  hair curler but it is always  nice to try  new stuff.  You learn things by  trying right?  So when you feel like you are tired looking at your  everyday hair style, try a little something different.


You can check out the other hair products that Flat Iron Experts sent me before for review. I love using that one whenever I have to go somewhere.  If you are looking for  the right product to  enhance the look of your hair style, check out  Flat Iron Experts through the links I have provided in this post.  They  have  a 20% off back to school promo with most of their  products.  Just use the coupon code APPLE upon check out.

We went to my husband's work  today.  One of his  buddy at work is transferring to another  department so we bid farewell  to him and wished him luck with his new  assignment.  We proceeded to Robinson Mall to find  a gift for my son's classmate.  When we were walking around the mall, hubby saw this dress at the window and he said "You would look good on that!"   I was not  planning on buying anything but I looked and tried it on anyway.  It wasn't expensive so we ended up buying it.  Thanks Hon!

I love the print and fit of this dress.  It is in medium size so it's a bit big on the neckline part but I am hoping  when I wash it, it will shrink a little and it would fit perfectly.  

Hubby was laughing when he was taking photos because  I did not remove the tag lol.  The only part  that we are not fond  of is the shredded design at the back but I  can hide it with my hair so it won't be a problem.  

I think our dog loves the dress too as he kept following me lol.  Nah, just kidding.  Champ loves playing goalie so he would throw the ball in front of you every chance he gets.

Charlotte Russe has some pretty dresses at their store at a very affordable prices.

Thanks a lot Hon for this dress, love it!

Unique Designs for Birdfeeders

If you are a person who enjoys spending time in your garden, you might also be the kind of person who enjoys the relaxing music of birds tweeting. There is something that many find peaceful about having birds in the garden, chirping away so they do their best to encourage as many as possible to show up. One of the best ways to do this is by installing bird feeders where the birds can go and get a snack. If this is something that interests you, here are some original suggestions for bird feeders.

1. Glass Ball Feeders

These look really cool because they are made of glass so they are transparent. This means that you can watch the birds while they are feeding. At the same time, the round shape makes them look like Christmas decorations with a little bird inside, especially when they are hanging from a tree.

2. Half-moon Bird-feeder

The premise of the bird feeder is pretty simple so you can get a wide array of different designs depending on your preferences. This particular bird feeder is in the shape of a half-moon and it has a little opening at the bottom where the bird can sit and feed. It is made from copper, but it also has glass sides so you can easily see how many seeds are left.

3. Apple Bird-feeder

This bird-feeder is designed to look just like an apple and this comes with several benefits. For one, it will look right at home in your garden. Secondly, the bright, striking red color will appeal to the birds and will attract them easier.
