Beautiful Life at Weigh Less Center by Doc Joel Mendez

As one of our Miss Teen Philippines Davao sponsors, Doc Joel Mendez of Weigh Less Center gives me three(3) Diamond Peel Gift Card. Typically DIAMOND PEEL cost around $100 to $200(PHp4500 to PHp9000 per each visit) depending which city you live in or salon or spa clinic you choose.

Here at Weigh Less Center, Diamond Peel cost PHp5000 for 5 sessions only, this include Facial Spa Treatment already.



At first, so hesitant to use the card, because learning from the word PEEL means strip of a skin that has been peeled off, etc..and reading from another blog site about Peeling it gives me a scary impressions about the method they used to practice.

But then, I have strong desire to take chances and to experience what is Diamond Peel all about. Together with a friend, we went to the Weigh Less Center-SM City Davao to avail our Diamond Peel Gift Card.



Been relief on what is Diamond Peel all about, it was well explained by a Weigh Less Staff that this kind of treatment is a non-surgical procedure in which skin is exfoliated to remove dead skin cells using actual diamond chips to vacuum the old skin off.

Getting in the salon, the clinic is clean, though a kind of dark inside.




PROCEDURE

1. FACIAL SPA TREATMENT - Begun with cleansing and analysis of the skin under the bright light.


PREPARATION
EXFOLIATION and MASSAGE
BRIGHT LIGHT EXPOSE for STEAMING
After 5 minutes, cleaning and EXTRACTIONS followed. We have different levels of comfort or tolerance, so better tell the one assigned to you, how much extractions you can stand for the procedure here is really uncomfortable.

Extractions is a process of clearing a clogged or compacted pore, wherein whiteheads and blackheads are being extracted as well as with pustules and pimples. Luckily, I don't have pimples and pustules.  


MASSAGE again...
Applying the MASK
MASK for 15 minutes
Using Vacuum and a Tissue for cleaning my face

2. DIAMOND PEEL TREATMENT - You can see Dr. Howell, the resident doctor of Weigh Less Center, is using a hand-held device with a diamond tipped wand.


Peeling my skin for 20 minutes


A firm layer of diamond dust is now being applied on my skin and then vacuum away, exfoliating dead skin cells and also remove fine lines wrinkles.

You will see immediately the effect of the treatment, that my skin looks slightly pink and rosy but not irritated or red.



Applying now the Facial Anti-inflammatory moisturizer to my skin to end the session, with a simple massage to stimulate the blood flow and circulation, in order to relax my face muscles.



To summarize, my experience with Diamond Peel Treatment is positively good. I agree with the celebrity endorsers saying that this procedure is more popular because of its effectiveness, safe and precise treatment results you want without undergoing surgical procedures. A painless way that you cannot see the peeling or flaking of skin and you can get back to your day-to-day activities after the treatment.


My friend Balyn



I would like to say thank you to Ate Mitch of Weigh Less Center, greatly appreciated your presence for taking care of us during our treatment.



And to all the staff of Weigh Less Center for accommodating and properly explaining to us the procedure of the treatment.

Pure 'n Fresh: Back To School With Confidence

It's time for school now!  Student are excited to come to school and meet their classmates and teachers. During this day, the exciting week, students are so conscious of how they interact with their fellow mates, especially that they are in their adolescence stage. With some girls starting to have that feeling of self-conscious about their body as they have begun their puberty stage. 

In my case, me and my teenage daughter has so many opportunities talking about the sudden changes of her lifetime she's experiencing now, especially her physical changes. Not to forget, by giving her advice's that these changes are part of the natural process of growing up as she enter into adulthood.

Now that she's in school, she need to relax and have some fun even during school days. To loosen up and deliver some play, Mikaela uses Pure'n Fresh Fabulously Fruity Feminine Wash and Tropical Splash Cologne.


In the package, I got a small box of Pure'n Fresh Teen Essentials Pack consist of a feminine wash and a cologne.



Excited to give this to my daughter, because she need this the most.

PURE'N FRESH is a product of UNILAB that gives you a line of feminine products made especially made for teens and also for tweens. It is guaranteed safe, mild and dermatologically tested, so mothers you don't have to worry with the product.

PURE 'N FRESH® FABULOUSLY FRUITY FEMININE WASH




Girls that starts puberty early will have this notion to over react to this kind of phenomenon.  As I handed the pack to my daughter, she over-reacted it as well! Why she need this feminine wash? What for?

I talked to her about the following bodily changes that will happen to her during puberty and I merely focus to explain to her about MENSTRUATION. The hygiene related to menstrual cycles should not be left behind. And because sometimes they are always in a hurry going to school, forgetting all the necessities to be done, my advice is to bring with her her feminine wash.


Be sure that our daughters has the supplies like napkins for their period. Since they are away from home they should have that one thing that they need to bring to school aside from the napkins, is the Feminine Wash.

This feminine wash will help her because it has:

  • pH-balanced, maintains the natural pH of the external genitalia.
  • Has milk proteins and Chamomile extract to help nourish the skin moisture.
  • Removes odor-causing bacteria.
  • Mild and gentle for everyday use.
  • Clinically tested by OB-Gynecologists.


PURE 'N FRESH® TROPICAL SPLASH COLOGNE 




Skin is the most noticeable part in our body.
And during puberty stage the skin of a teenage girl becomes more oily and they sweat even to a greater extent!  


That is why they need to take a shower or to bathe everyday particularly during their period to keep their skin clean and to use deodorant after bathing to keep body odor and wetness under control.

And to keep my daughter brighten up her day in spite of the stressful day that she had from school and to keep her fresh and cool, I give her the Tropical Splash Cologne, with this it can help lighten up her day and boost back her confidence.


  • It's Hypo-allergenic
  • Dermatologist-tested, very mild and gentle on teen skin.

We parents should set examples to our children, we must be considerate and supportive regarding their school needs especially parents who have girl teenagers.




I hope Mikaela will follow the points I have given her, now that she's already 14 years old and with my guidance she will know how to see the differences in maturity.  

And enjoy the days in school with CONFIDENCE!

What an amazing story appearing on my Facebook timeline, a dress made of a loom band.

(C) Helen Wright/SWNS.COM

Yes! A dress made of a thousand loom bands by Kathryn Burnand, who does not work because of a disability but despite of her situation she decided to make a dress a go! 

It was woven together with a 24,000 loom bands for almost 2 months creating an amazing LOOM BAND DRESS.  Her multicolored dress with a size 4 was posted by her friend Helen Wright on ebay for a bidding war, with a starting price of £50. 

Now it has been bid online at ebay for £170,100.00.

(C) EBAY
 

The craze for loom bands has been entirely trending here in our country, the Philippines. And almost of the kids here in my place loves to make bracelets, hair ornaments, ring etc..all are made of loom bands. But this is new, it is very unique and fashionably made.

Though she assert that the dress is not very nice to wear because it is heavy and all the plastic bands are quite uncomfortable to wear as well.


Well what is fashion for?  Fashion is something to wear comfortably or uncomfortably it is up to you on how you carry it to make it more easy.

Warm Water Early Morning

Getting off to bed and to drink a glass of warm water has been my ritual habit since for the first time I have experienced a blood pressure of 140/80.    Should I be concerned? I'm in my late 30's.

According to my Doctor I have a MILD STAGE 1 BP. It's not horrible, I don't need to PANIC. The easiest way to to bring it down is I have to strictly follow my Daily Balance Diet and to have a regular exercise and not to forget to DRINK WARM WATER in the morning.

photo credit: Jed Sullivan via photopincc

Reducing salt intake and eat less fatty food. 

Risk associated with a high blood pressure is a HEART PROBLEM, that leads to STROKE or KIDNEY FAILURE.    

WHY WARM WATER?Because it FLUSHES OUT KIDNEYS, PREPARE YOUR STOMACH FOR FOOD, and HELPS THE BOWELS MOVE REGULARLY and NATURALLY.

I'm in my 3 months of religiously following my doctors' advice, and if you're asking me "Does it really work?" My answer is "YES, it does." I can feel lightness and my BP is back to normal 120/80. 

Cleansing our internal body is very important especially if you are in your late 30's or 40's since this is the stage wherein the digestive system depresses.

Another thing to consider if you want to
loss weight, by drinking 10 ounces of warm water mix with a teaspoon of honey or a lemon juice.


photo credit: Food Thinkers via photopincc



It will mobilize extra fat in the body and it produces energy by making you sweat even without exercising.

Just always remember you have to wait 30 minutes before eating after drinking warm water with or without honey or lemon.


   
 Thank you

Happy HarvFest 2014 Overview

HarvFest is a 3 day event celebrating KADAYAWAN FESTIVAL 2014 with good food, good drinks, great friendship and a wonderful music.


(C) Brix Armstrong Photography

For a brief period of time, a rave party is characterized as a lack of good guidance to our young generation of today but was able to change the glimpse of an alternative way of life, that everybody loves to FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT TO PARTY. Thanks to STARR DINEPARTYSHINE, MOON, CORK and BARREL, HYBRID and BLUE REEF BISTRO BAR for having this idea to put something different in a RAVE PARTY SCENE.


(C) Raymart Oyan

For the first time we want Davaoeños to experience a BAR HOPPING RAVE PARTY SCENE. A doors lead out into a place wherein there are seats and tables and a DJ stage is leaning towards the center of the event. It is the epicenter of the city bar's and this is where the action takes place.

The first kick off led by the residence DJ's of the respective organizing club bars were divided into two activities, other Dj's are inside the club playing their music while the others are making their music thingy in the center stage.






Second kick-off is AWESOME!  We have DJ XFactor (International DJ/Producer/Remixer),DJ Astrid from Vanity Club, Cebu sexiest model DJ LV of CUBANA and DJ Yancy Moncatar.

 


With a surprise guest celebrities partying with us are from ABS-CBN PINOY BIG BROTHER ALL IN Stars, Fourth and Fifth Pagotan (twin brothers of GMA actress Chariz Solomon) and Michelle Gumabao aka the SPUNKY SPIKER of Quezon City.



(C) Fotografia Jal
  
Third kick off (the last day) of HarvFest 2014 is a BLAST!  


The HIGHLIGHT of the EVENT 

We requested all the party goers who are in the bars to party outside and join the TWO DMC CHAMPION DJ M.O.D and DJ COKI.


(C) Arfel Calamba


Started by DJ Coki on stage, lot of people came out to join him.

(C) Fotografia Jal

Raving the party without the NEON and FOAM but still the PARTY LIVES ON!


(C) DJ Coki
 


Next in line is DJ M.O.D, the crowd went WET and WILDER. 

Wet maybe because they sweat too much from RAVING

WILD because they are all eager to dance and sing to the music as well.

 


Who said Davao doesn't know how to party? Simple as this gathering of people who are in the same mind, same heart, but with different races - that is DAVAO CITY.

It can be organized as ONE with a PARTY ATMOSPHERE. The time we celebrate the bountiful and miracles of life, to be surrounded with people who care and love us, and to see other faces and make friend with them, share stories and party with them. 

Indeed a triumph for us party goers, who break into an area of a RAVE PARTY MOVEMENT.

This event is presented by the PARTY ANIMAL EVENT PRODUCTION, CIGNAL, GEERTECH, and MAGIC 89.9.


 
In cooperation with SMART, EMPERADOR DE LUXE, 8TELCOM, COLT45, SushiDito, Chikaan, Pioneers DJ, Johnnie Walker, MOJITOS TEQUILA, and JFB CAR TRADING.

I've been looking for a right time to interview a DJ who can give me insights on how DJs approach and appreciate the world of music. 







The aim of this interview is to know more about the DJs and when they first started out scratching their own DJ thingy and what prompts them to do more scratching.

Aaron Terpkos aka DJ Az-T

With more than 20 years of combined DJ experience and having to manage his own job, Aaron made good at his craft as he focused throughout his career on balancing his talent in music as DJ and managing his own business at the same time.



As question arises on how they started as a DJ, many things come out in my mind..."This man is more knowledgeable in doing DJ thingy..".

(C) Melissa Bertolini
A cool Dj who have lots of experience about music he played, from EDM, ELECTRO, TRAP, BASS, GLITCH etc...trying to play with turntables by scratching on it to make mixtapes of instruments the likes mixing vocal house to dirty electro to the RnB classics.  

 


with DJ Az-T



Cool music indeed from a COOL GUY name DJ Az-T. 


*Jason and Az-T are great pals. Jason meets Az-T when he accepted a gig in Australia, and that's the start of their friendship.


 





DJ Butch Andres

The First Filipino DJ to break into clubbing scene in the so-called Las Vegas of ASIA, MACAU SAR, CHINA.


(C) BUTCH ANDRES



Taking on a role as a DJ and at the same time managing Jason Dewey is a great deal of difficulty as both are Professional DJ in the course. Only with proper management and the act of being professional, I guess he can split all the heap without a trouble.

Thanks to you DJ Butch Andres in carrying the Philippine flag to the world of SCRATCHING with a heart! Way to go IDOL!


Words to ponder: REMEMBER WHERE YOU CAME FROM.



The said interview was done before the gig
at STARR with Angel Abella

I hope this little information about the DJ's will gave you some insights and inspiration to those aspiring and beginner DJ's out there to practice more your scratching and do love your craft as well!

And to all JASON DEWEY fans, see you at BEIJING, CHINA this 13th of September.








SKINWHITE ADVANCED WHITENING SOAP with Kojic Acid

I rarely post a review about a beauty soap in my site because I haven't seen and experience a soap that gives satisfaction after use.

You can buy expensive cream and soap that promises you to bring back that youthful skin, maybe it will make your skin feel nice for a period of time, but none of that will work because that is their business, it will keep you coming back to buy their products. 

 

I'll try anything and just like you(maybe) you feel tired searching for the right soap for your skin that will give you 100% SATISFACTION.

I saw this soap bar in the market, reading
the back cover of the soap it say's: "IT FIGHT SKIN AGING AND WHITEN YOUR SKIN WITH THE HELP OF THE KOJIC ACID and VISIBLE RESULTS IN AS EARLY AS 7 DAYS".  Wow! For 7 days you will see the result, and so I gave a GO.

 

Started using this beauty soap in a month,  figuring that I have nothing to lose for a PHp 60+. First use, I was amazed with it, it really whitens skin and it moisturize my body too! And for a month of using, it reduces my face skin elasticity and it has drastically reduced the look of my stretchmarks in my body.

 

Got to believe in Kojic! Yes, because I see the result and it really lightens scars and pigmentation.

I am now in my second month using SKINWHITE ADVANCED WHITENING SOAP with KOJIC ACID and I will certainly recommend this product to all my readers especially those who are in their mid 30s+ like me.




*I was not financially compensated for this post. I bought the product for review purposes only. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.*


 
  

Eat Six Meals A Day

It all began when I got pregnant with my youngest, resigned from work, becomes a stay home mom and have nothing to do aside from my routine house chores and I fell into a deep depression that I eat and eat a lot.

My body literally craved for food not noticing that I got through all the physical changes, my belly and arms got big!

And when I saw myself in the mirror I said,"This is too much!". This is not me either, my body cries. Needless to say, I felt so lost and alone. I don't know what to do, I didn't have the strength to go on.

Need to change my lifestyle, I finally began putting the pieces of my life back together. I went back by having my own business and become a well-rounded person.  Aside from managing my business, I went to blogging.

Just as early of January of 2014, I notice that even I am in my work and very busy doing my blogging, I am still gaining weight and on May 2014 I got a 148/90 BP (potentially dangerous and considered high-ranking) or so-called the borderline-high.

Yes, I am scared.  That is why I went to a WELLNESS EVALUATION PROGRAM, to consult for a remedy.

I was evaluated last September 8, 2014.

  • PRESENT WEIGHT: 123.2 lbs or 56kg.
  • IDEAL WEIGHT: 103-106
  • FAT: 32.2 or 18kg
  • EXCESS FAT: 11.1% or 6.2kg
  • IDEAL BODY FAT INDEX: 21.1, 24.0,27.7
  • VISCERAL FAT: 6
  • IDEAL VISCERAL: 1-4
My body fat index was BAD for a 5'1 Woman age 38.

These are the suggestions, in case I will not get their 10 days Weight Management Program they still give me some hint because according to them it just a minor problem that can be resolve immediately with the Right Nutrition and Proper Eating Habit


The right combination of foods are the most powerful medicine in the world ~ DANETTE MAY.

Yes, I eat a lot, but the problem is I always skip a meal especially my breakfast. And I don't mind what food I eat as long as it is a food I don't have a problem with that. Another thing is, I don't drink the right amount of water, I am more on coffee and softdrinks.

Then my coach said, I need to STOP my ways.  If I want to stay healthy and look good need to follow the program.

And I found out that they use the DANETTE MAY FOOD CLOCK.

Just by eating up to 3-4 hours or up to SIX MEALS A DAY by eating the specific healthy combination of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that will literally melt the fat off.

Bit shock with this revelation, contrary to what we believe that we should eat 3x a day half rice, or no rice, or to eat BRUNCH(breakfast-lunch) meal to have a FIT and SEXY body.

Well, we are all wrong.  This is just another way or a tactic of the so called diet companies to make you become overweight because they want us to continue buying their products.  Products like diet pills, diet tea, slimming tea, etc.




NO MORE DIETING, NO MORE SKIPPING MEALS, NEVER STARVE YOURSELF AGAIN and ALWAYS DRINK 1 GLASS OF WATER EVERY AFTER AND BEFORE MEAL!

These are the main component to have that healthy sexy body. The more we eat, the more we burn fats.

I am sharing with you a sample of a SIX MEALS DAY PLAN.

*Don't forget to drink water daily, drinking water will reward you by shedding extra pounds of fat.

In my case, referring to my evaluation I have to drink 12oz of water for 12 times(12:12), to decrease my FAT.

*Don't skip breakfast! People who regularly eat breakfast tend to weigh less than those who skip their morning meal. 

Just continue eating every 3-4 hours that is the SIX MEALS A DAY PLAN, this will help your body and brain get a steady stream of nutrients so you don't go overboard at mealtime. 


I'm on my 1st week of religiously following the meal plan. So don't worry if you eat too much because after that you need to exercise in order to burn more fats. I will post my 7 Minutes Exercise later.

Soon I will post my BEFORE and AFTER photo here in order to see the effectiveness of the plan.

Check Your Breast by Nestle Fitness Bra Cam Breast Cancer Campaign

Watched this video making rounds all over social media and I was a bit curious on what is going on.



The story is that a woman fitted a bra with a hidden camera, doing her day-to-day routine you might be surprised by the result of how many people checking out her breast.




It was an experiment from Nestle Fitness with a mission to remind all women around the world to always CHECK their BREAST regularly.

October is a BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH and this Nestle Fitness Bra Cam is all part of their PINK RIBBON CAMPAIGN to help raise breast cancer awareness and by using a hashtag #CheckYourSelfie promoted by KEEP A BREAST FOUNDATION


Studies show that a Monthly Routine of Self- Check of our breast will likely notice changes in our bodies and this would avail us more if we do regularly visit to our doctor to ask for medical advice so that we can find if we have cancer at the earliest possible time.

Nestle Fitness Bra Cam is also a reminder to all mothers like me who are busy working, To STOP and TAKE TIME to CHECK YOUR BREAST! It is better to be aware of our bodies ladies.


>>> Watch the behind the scene of the Bra Cam Viral Video, starring actress Eloise Oliver and Director Ellen Kuras.





The Bra Cam video is also showing us that everyone is checking our breast, how about us?  When was the last time we checked our own? So calling all WOMEN let us all participate with this campaign, help us to keep changing women's HEALTH for the better!




Shape up your LIFESTYLE!






Digestics with Probifiber+

I received my FREE samples of DIGESTICS from UNILAB together with NasoClear.


Digestics with Probifiber+ has a dual action formula, a blend mixture of PROBIOTIC POWDER and DIETARY FIBER which helps improves digestion, enhance natural resistance to intestinal problems and to KEEP AWAY from CONSTIPATION.




What are the advantages of Digestics compared to other OTC Laxative Drugs, other Fiber Supplements and Cultured Milks & Yogurt?


PROBIFIBER+

Has little to NO side effects, possible mild bloating & flatulence.

Probiotics and fiber are considered natural compounds.

Safer to take daily.

Easily dissolve and it has a mild flavor and it doesn't affect the taste of your beverage.

You can even mix it in a cool to room temperature food or by simply taken it directly to your mouth.

It has low calories intake(per sachet contains 16 calories only).

Lactose-Free.

Sugar-Free.

You can take it anytime, anywhere.






So much happy getting this product, this is the first product with Probiotics and Fiber in one sachet from UNILAB!

Overwhelm with the idea that you can bring this wherever you go and add this it in food, drink or take it as its own.

Base on my experience, I take this before a meal and I easily get full so I end up eating. For me, this is good because I can limit my food consumption without harming my health.

Another thing I discover after taking DIGESTICS, I love to work out and I don't palpitate.  I mean I don't feel tired and I feel lighter.

Oh, then, I have trouble with my bowel movement, though I do drink plenty of water I still get constipated. Now that I have DIGESTICS, no worries! I won't feel exhausted forever! 


This product really helped me stop my constipation.


My main concern now is that it is almost 4 months that I haven't seen DIGESTICS in the supermarket and Drugstores. I ask one of the pharmacist of a leading drugstore here in my town, she told me that the products have been recalled.

To my dismay, I even posted my frustration in my Facebook account.


SCREENSHOT FROM MY FACEBOOK ACCOUNT

But glad that it was answered by Ms. Rochelle Leonor from UNILAB that it was not recalled, they want all the stocks that are already available in the market should be depleted because they are relaunching Digestics next year 2015.


Good to hear that and I am feeling relief now. For the mean time I take their other UNILAB product the CarbTrim Iced Tea.

Anyway, here's a video that will tell us more about DIGESTICS.
