Malunggay Leaves for Pimples? My Story!

$
0
0
Have you heard of applying malunggay leaves for pimples?  Have you even tried putting it on your face? Well, I did for over a week. And here is my experience.

I was suffering terribly with huge cystic acne that it was so embarassing to go out and talk to people. I lost my confidence because of it. I stayed home if I could and only go out when it is really important. People who saw me were all commenting about my pimples and how they have ruined my face. Those comments magnify the low esteem that I had. I felt depressed. It was a low moment for me. 

Before, I also had acne problems and I found a solution that worked well for me. It stopped all my acne. But then I was too lazy and so I forgot about the regimen so the acne backfired. That wasn't long ago. That was just last June 2012. Traces of the my worst acne experience are still visible on my face. I have scars all over my face, over 20 of them mostly in tiny spots, that look like freckles. But am acne free now, hopefully forever!

So what I did, was I applied Malunggay Leaves on my face, entire face, and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to as long as 30 minutes. Malunggay leaves have anti-bacterial properties plus many other healing benefits. I was so desperate to get rid of my acne so it didn't hurt to give this "herbal solution" a try. And so I did that for over a week. Initially I was doing it twice a day, morning and evening for 3 consecutive days. Then I'd skip a day or two before I apply the regimen again. It really did work. Now I am acne free. No acne on my face, none at all (except for the scarring). 

I don't recommend doing what I did, but if you are that desperate, and you've tried everything else to no avail, the call is on you! Malunggay juice helps to fight pimples, prevent pimples and heal pimples faster. It also helps in lightening scars.

Let me reveal exactly how I prepared the Malunggay Leaves:

1. Get enough Malunggay Leaves that you can use for the day.
2. Wash it with water.
3. Use mortar and pestle to crush, grind the malunggay leaves or if you have a blender you can use that. I personally use the blender at home. I just add half a glass to 1 glass of warm water, then blend the Malunggay Leaves.
4. Apply the malunggay juice on the face for 10 minutes or more.
5. You can also create a Malunggay Mask using tissue paper. I'll teach you how to do it below.


How to create Malunggay Mask Using Tissue Paper:
1. Cut the tissue paper into strips.
2. Pile the tissue paper strips one after the other depending on the thickness.
3. Now scoop some malunggay juice and put it on the tissue paper strips. The tissue paper strips must have the right amount of malunggay juice but not too much to avoid dripping.
4. Put the tissue paper strips on your face, avoiding the eyes, and mouth areas.
5. Wait for at least 10 minutes before removing the tissue paper strips.

Using tissue paper strips prevents dripping so you can still do your normal daily routines while on the regimen. I warn you, you will look like a "mummy" if you do this.. lol..

Please do a skin test first before using this regimen. Also always use fresh malunggay juice to avoid irritations. And yes one more thing, in combination with this regimen I apply the following:

  • Eskinol Cleanser with Dalacin C
  • Skinmate Shark Oil

Personal Time Frame of Usage: Over 2 weeks, this month of August.

That's it. I hope you also get to put an end to your pimples/acne. Remember that what might work for me might not work for you. 

FYI: I don't use malunggay juice daily now. I just apply it once a week for maintenance.




Lactacyd White Intimate Whitening Feminine Wash Review

$

0


The first time I saw the commercial on TV about the Lactacyd Whitening Feminine Wash, my initial reaction was "Oh really, may ganun?! lol". Never have I heard of a whitening feminine wash before. Whitening creams for the face and body are all over the market, but a product to whiten a woman’s intimate part is a new one! Yay! So this product came as a surprise and drew curiosity out of me and perhaps to many ladies out there. Thus, the moment I saw one on the shelves of Watsons for under 60 pesos, I immediately grabbed it for testing. hehe.

The first question that popped to mind was does it whiten the outer surface of the sexy V or does it also whiten the minor general and the major general (sorry can’t spell it out but you know what I mean), as well as the black hairs on the mountain top? Lol..

Then the second question was this, how white can the V get with this whitening feminine wash? Can we use a whitening meter for this, similar to garnier’s and pond’s?lol..

Third question, can we see proof that this product works? A picture paints a thousand words and it sure spells out proof! Hahaha.. Okay, that’s mature! But oh boys you all love to see proof yayt?? And it is wrong to assume that which is yet to be proven! Hahaha.

Fourth question, what marketing strategy will work for this? My other persona has voluntarily suggested few marketing jingles “Isang Banlaw” (parang downy), or “Isang Babad ka lang”, “Binabad lang pumuti na”..awt! hhahaha

Fifth question, how come there is no intimate whitening wash for males, so a man can whiten his balls too? Are we seeing some discrimination here? Man, you’ve got to sign the petition for an intimate whitening wash for men! (:} And my other persona has suggested a jingle for this too “Whitens dark circles!”(parang pang eye bags lang) hahahah..

Final question, will Lactacyd Whitening Feminine Wash whiten my V? To know the answer you will have to wait for the before and after photos! Hahaha.. But wait, according to the product description, it will whiten your V in 4 weeks, so be patient people! Hahaha.

But, seriously, am not posting before and after photos…who are you kidding, me?!

How To Get Unlimited Referrals on any PTC Sites?

Are you a PTC site member? When I first started making money online, I ventured into PTC sites initially. Click and make money! That's basically the concept in Paid to Click Sites or PTC Sites. Nowadays, you are not only paid for clicking, but you are also paid for participating in surveys, competing offers and even for playing games.  The sad part with PTC programs is you are paid cents per click. You click an advertisement, open it for 15 to 30 seconds and get paid $.001 cent for it.  It will take days of daily clicking until you reach your payout, which typically range from $1 to $10.  But despite this, thousands of wanting to make money online surfers join PTC programs on a daily basis. You might wonder why! Even if one commits himself to slavery in clicking too many ads daily, the earnings just won't compensate for the effort and the time spent! Exactly! I agree with you on this point!

But, not everyone is earning cents with PTC sites. Not everyone is making pennies. There are many out there who are making hundreds to thousands of dollars every month from these PTC sites!

 
 And I will tell you the secret to this!
 

DON'T WORRY THERE IS NO REFERRAL LINK HERE!


 The Secret: ACTIVE REFERRALS!

If you are to join or is already a member of a PTC site and you have no intentions of expanding your downline or referrals, then you will just gonna be earnings cents forever.. Referrals, ACTIVE REFERRALS is the key to making more money with PTC sites. This is where many PTC members fail. They join PTC sites, actively click on the advertisements but has no effort to promote their referral link. Result: cents!

Try to do this. Instead of actively clicking the ads, actively look for new referrals daily. Trust me when I say, you make more money not by clicking the ads but by finding new referrals. But how can I find new referrals, you might ask.If you are a lazy person or if you have some money to spare, then get the:

(opens in new tab or new window)


This is one of the cheapest yet most valuable PTC guide out there. It can help you get active referrals daily. Be sure to follow the guide! The methods are all in the guide. If you follow it by heart, you will make 20 referrals to 50 referrals daily.  I got 18 referrals the first day I implemented few of the methods in the guide. Of course I added my own twist to it. So good luck to you!

(I did not include my referral link in this article because I already have so many referrals on a daily basis, and I don't want you to think, I'm just making this post to increase my downline :))







Pond's Gold Radiance Youthful Night Repair Review

It's been a while since I made a product review. Oh well, it's time to share my experience with Pond's Gold Radiance Youthful Night Repair (with real gold microparticles) Cream! I've been using this night repair cream for almost 2 months now.  I have forgotten the exact date I used the cream, but it's almost 2 months already, hence it's a perfect time to express my likes and dislikes about this product. I have acne prone, oily skin, so do take that into consideration as you read my review of Pond's Gold Radiance Youthful Night Repair.

Accordingly, throughout the history, GOLD has been used to beautify the skin. Cleopatra's believed to have used gold to retain her youthful appearance. GOLD has also been used in many skin products before and today.  GOLD is a glittery pricey ingredient, so normally, you'd expect these GOLD containing beauty products to be heavy on your pockets. And Pond's Gold Radiance Youthful Night Repair along with the complete GOLD Radiance line from PONDS is no exception. The price for 50g Pond's Gold Radiance Youthful Night Repair is at 899 to 999 pesos.  But one 50g jar can last probably up to 3 months. So while it is expensive, it can last you months of usage.

There's a spatula included in the product. It's a pretty good addition because it ensures you don't spread bacteria from your face to the cream.

 The product should be used ideally at night, but there are times when I'd use it in the morning especially when am just at home. The cream has this fresh smell which I like.It is not greasy when applied onto the skin. You just need a small amount of the cream per application. One thing I noticed however, is when I apply the cream in the morning. My skin tends to be more oily though out the day. Hence, I suggest you use the cream only at night.

You can definitely see the gold particles glittering on your face upon application of the cream. The cream gets absorbed by the skin so well. You can instantly see and feel your skin moisturized. It also provides some sort of coverage for your blemishes. But I won't recommend this as a base for your make up. It does make your skin oily or at least that's what I noticed.


 Now, let's highlight what the product claims and review it on that context.  Based on the packaging, which I don't have a picture to show because my camera's battery just went dead, it says:

"Wake up revived, refreshed and younger looking. Infused with real gold, this luxurious cream works while you sleep to regenerate your skin's own youthful radiance."
Sounds good! ayt?! Is there a truth to this claim?

I must say "YES!!!"  (and I just added three exclamation points to it)

Pond's Gold Radiance Youthful Night Repair cream does work for me. Every morning, I always see my face  refreshed, revived, more moisturized, more plump, and firmer. I'm not sure if it did make my skin younger looking, but obviously am not seeing too many fine lines especially on my forehead.  Unfortunately the product didn't lighten my acne scars. But then in the first place it's not meant to lighten scars, but I just thought I should mention it.

So will I purchase again? Yes if I can allocate some budget for it. I still have the 50g jar which should last for another month. But am definitely excited to try the other range of Pond's Gold Radiance :)

Till my next product review!

ProActiv Review 2013: Does it Work?

$
0

You've probably seen all the commercials about Proactiv Solution and mind you they are very convincing. Famous celebrities with their close to perfect if not perfect skins are endorsing this product. When you are an acne sufferer for years, you'll try all there is to finally put an end to your misery even if that means buying expensive products like Pro-Activ and fooling yourself that celebrities really use Pro-Activ. Nah! You are just kidding yourself.  But you've got to convince yourself that it does work because the famous pretty celebrity says it does. But then there is that strong voice inside you saying it doesn't.  Different voices are arguing inside your head. But we all know who wins. It's that voice telling you, "this might work. You will lose nothing if you try it. You have to try it. You have to cure your acne!". So you spend your hard earned money, half convinced that ProActiv will work. I don't know what your story is, but here's mine.

Adamant to cure my acne within 30 days time, I bought the 30 day kit of ProActiv in Watsons. It was priced at around 2,500 pesos. It was expensive. But if I get that flawless skin in as early as 30 days that would be priceless!

Before I used the ProActiv, my acne was no longer severe.  But I thought the healing period for my acne was slow.  I wanted everything cleared in 30 days or at least no new pimples by then. So, anyway, the 30 day Pro-Active kit has four products in it. 

1. ProActiv Renewing Cleanser
2. ProActiv Revitalizing Toner
3. ProActiv Repairing Lotion
4. ProActiv Refining Mask (Free Product)

I started using it early in the morning upon waking up. I used the Renewing Cleanser to wash my face. Then I follow it up with the Revitalizing Toner, then the Repairing Lotion, then my favorite moisturizer. For spot treatments I used the Refining Mask.

On my first 3 days of using ProActiv, I noticed a tremendous improvement on my skin particularly on the size of the acne. Huge acne shrunk in size to about half the original size.  After 7 days of using the products, I had no new acne.  I told myself in the mirror, this thing really works!  But wait,  let's fast forward to the 2nd week....

-------->>>Acne... Acne... Acne... Dryness.. Dryness.. Dryness <<<------ b="">
------>

It wasn't that bad but considering I was already getting better skin prior to using ProActiv, it was frustrating.  Not wanting to prematurely judge the effectiveness of the product, I waited for another 2 weeks, that is I used the product for the 1 whole month period. But I ended up feeling unsatisfied. After a month, I still had acne, the cystic ones. Skin dryness was also a problem.   Let me clarify that after a month, my acne condition did not get worse, but it was not cured. It was like the days when I didn't use ProActiv.  ProActiv is supposed to cure acne, stop acne from developing. But suffice it to say, it did not work! The only product that I fell in love with was the Refining Mask. As spot treatment it was great.  It shrunk huge pimples fast. 

After I used up all of my ProActiv 30day kit which was about 5 weeks or over a month, I did not buy again.  I know it takes about 2 months for products to really work, but I just didn't see any much of an improvement using ProActiv to justify spending another two thousand pesos.  

Yes, almost 3 thousand pesos down the drain all for nothing! That concludes my ProActive Review.

Right now, I'm 99% pimple free though using different products and advocating healthy lifestyle. It's been two months of having only one or two pimples occuring mostly during my periods.  I have scars, deep seated ones though which I have not been able to address fast.   But thanks to foundations and concealers, they do wonders! :)

Note: I have not been paid to do this review. I purchased ProActiv Solution using my own money.

Men like tobe seduced. So how do you seduce your man ? Don't go with the traditional lip pouting and beautiful eyes. Be imaginative. Use that seductive power in you that only a woman possess!

Here are some ways to seduce your guy:


1. Send him a sexy mms picture of yourself in your best and sexiest night dress or just wear a white transparent shirt that goes in length just above your knees and don't forget to wear a red sexy bikini.


2. Give him a gift this valentines and wrap it with your sexiest undies. Wheew this one's really sexy!

3. Give him a show! Perform a striptease. Men love the slow nakedness in the beat of a romantic music.

4. When he calls talk to him in your "sexiest night-you two alone" voice.

5. Whisper some dirty talk to him while he is talking with his boss! Just imagine how the concentration will shift from his boss to you.

6. After a shower, still wrapped in a towel, with no undies on, slowly bend over while he is at your back watching you. Make sure he sees your gorgeous booty.

7. Join him in a shower. Couples should do this every once in a while.

8. Just lie naked when he gets home. This is the easiest seductive move!

9. Accidentally but purposely touch his "private weapon" while you are doing some grocery shopping. A little public tease can add to the seduction!

10. Talk to him as if you are about to kiss him but not really. Just give him that impression and he'll go crazy wanting to get that lips of yours touch his.

How To Lose A Guy in 5 Days

This weapon is to be used by women only.

Sometimes there are guys who stick to us, won't give up the relationship despite the harsh truth that you're not compatible with each other, despite the apparent fact that your relationship is not working, despite the revealing truth that you have fallen out of love for him. And yet they won't leave your side. The sight of your partner is not pleasing at all. Seeing him brings no thrill, no excitement. You feel more pis*ed off than enjoy his company.

You've got to dump this guy!  Sorry for the harsh words but this is a matter of life and death! Okay, okay that’s too exaggerated :} But anyway, you can't lie to yourself and coerce your heart and mind to believe that you still love your man. Don't torture yourself. If a simple, one on one talk for a break up won't work there are some other ways, not typical and could be nasty. The choice is yours. Stick with your man and never find your real soul-mate or liberate yourself and do the following at your own risk:

1. Day one, your man picks you up for school or work.


Your move:
Leave your house before he comes. Knowing that a partner did not wait for them can be disturbing for a lot of men.


2. Day two at the park.

Your move: Talk about a new hot guy you met. Yes you will create the feeling of insecurity and jealousy for him. But he should anticipate your move after the one on one talk between you and him.


3. Day three, a walk to the beach or a nearby resort.


Your hairy move: Wear a sleeveless or a spaghetti strap. The catch, don't pluck or shave the hair in your armpit. Have it sticking for him to see. It depends if you can bear the humiliation as other people will see you too. Don't forget the hair sticking out of your nose!


4. Day four, your man visits your house.


Your betty la fea move: Don't take a bath! Look ugly! Don't Brush your teeth! Show no affection! This one is nasty but it can work to at least push your man away. Who would want a stink partner? Much more the kiss! Gross! Your man won't even kiss you if he sees that piece of meat or cabbage stuck in between your front teeth, and the smell coming from your mouth will literally drive your guy away.

5. Day five, movie watching.

Your picking pop-corn move: While eating a pack of pop-corn with your head on his shoulders, pick up the pop-corn! I mean pick your nose! Gross! Let him see you as you do that. Just remember which finger you used in picking your nose and which one you use to put the pop-corn in your mouth.

Day 6,at your own initiative talk to your man again. There’s a huge chance he will create the space you so wanted and voluntarily!

Your call! Good luck! :)

How To Kiss

Kiss is a sensuous activity with another person.


What is the proper way to kiss?

There is really no proper way to kiss. So if you have not experienced your first lips to lips kiss, don't fear. You may feel anxious during the first kiss but it's normal.


While there is no hard and fast rule as to how kissing should be performed, you can arm yourself with useful information to make your kissing experience more enjoyable.


1. Be kissable.
This is of course the first thing to consider. Always use lipbalm or lip softener to keep your lips soft and inviting.


2. Keep your mouth clean and Fresh.
Nobody wants to kiss a stinky mouth. Brush your teeth and tongue well, use some mouth freshner or carry some mints or menthol candies when you are going for a date.


3.Don't Hurry for A Kiss. There’s usually no hurry for a kiss, especially a first kiss with someone, so be patient and wait until the mood is right. You can kiss a person in public if you want but if it's the first kiss, its better to kiss when there's only the two of you , so if your kiss is rejected, you won't be so embarassed.


4. Kiss gently. Kisses can vary from quick pecks to sweet, to passionate kisses. There’s a time and place for all of these. But any first kiss with someone should be gentle and romantic. Don’t press your mouth onto your partner’s. The trick is to just let your lips meet. A big NO- don’t try to push your tongue into his or her mouth.


5. Breathe. Gasping or turning blue in the middle of a kiss is not romantic. Take small breaths through your nose as you kiss. Don't forget how to breath.

How To Deal With A Broken Heart

Dealing with a broken heart is hard but no one has died because of it. Unless the depression lead to a cardiac arrest. But definitely, it is not easy to go through the pain, the suffering, the depression, the loneliness, the anger, brought about by a broken heart. So how do you deal with a broken heart? 

Different persons have different coping up levels. Others can handle a broken relationship pretty well, while some need a lot of help in going through this situation in their lives. There are different ways to deal with a broken heart or failed relationships and since people are different, their experiences are different you can't expect the same solution to be effective to every individual. In general however, you can deal with a broken heart using the following ways: 

1. Acceptance. Accept that the relationship failed. Accept the reality for it is by acceptance that you are able to move on.


2. Recognize . Recognize that you are only human and your partner is human. You have your own faults, your own lapses. Recognize that both of you had a share of the cause of the failure of your relationship. But don't put the blame entirely on your shoulder. It takes two to tango.

3. Act On the Feeling. Cry if you feel like crying. Mourn if you feel like mourning. Crying is one way of letting go of the pain. It's normal to cry.


4. Hold on to a quotation, a principle you believe in, or a famous line that can make you strong and help you stand up. "I will survive", "I'm over him", "People go through what I am going right now".

5. Diversion. Divert your feelings. Go visit a friend. Hang out with your buddies. Watch a movie. Kill the time with your favorite hobbies, with your favorite game. There are times when the best way to deal with a situation such as this is to stay away from it.



6. Confide and Share. Tell a friend, a family member about what you're going through. It feels good to know that someone is there to comfort you. Problems become less of a burden when it is shared.

NO RICE Diet: Before and After Photos

$
0
0

Rice is a staple in households here in Asia especially in the Philippines. Meals are not complete without rice on the table.  Completely eradicating rice on one's diet is hard. But for the sake of losing weight, I am embarking on this no-rice diet.  Yes I will be providing for before and after photos after a month of trying this no rice diet. Wish me luck!

It's been over a week since i started the no rice diet. But i've cheated though. So here's the plan. I will try (yeah, notice the word is "TRY") to avoid rice in my meals.  But i will have a cheat day, not days or cheat weeks. During my cheat day every week, I can eat 1 cup of rice or less, no more than a cup. I am including a cheat day for this NO-RICE Diet Plan because there are occassions or gatherings in your social life that you really can't avoid.  Exercise will also be part of my daily routine (as it has always been) or at least 3 times a week. That will include cardio, and some muscle toning exercises.

My goal is to just lose 2 to kilos and have my body toned. I have lots of fat on my tummy area and they say rice is the main culprit for this.  1 lb to 2lbs a week of weight loss is my goal. So in a month, I should drop 2kilos or 3kilos and gain more muscles on my abdominal area. Fingers crossed!

At 5'1' my starting weight for this No-Rice Diet: 50.5 kilos
Two weeks after: 49 kilos
1 month after: ____ (wait for the update and No Rice Diet before and after photos)
Weight goal: 47kilos
Total weight loss/ no rice diet results: ____ (wait for the update :)

Have you tried the NO-RICE DIET? Did it work for you?

UPDATE:

Sorry for the late update guys. A lot of things came up which totally ruined my diet.  So just to give you a quick update,I didn't finish the NO RICE diet.  I did lose weight for the days I was into the diet. A slow weight loss that is.   From 49 kilos I went back to 50 kilos. I just lost my focus because of other things as well. Just recently, I decided to embark on this no rice diet again. Not stricter than the first attempt though coz I'd eat about 2 to 3 tablespoons of rice if I really crave for it. So from 49 to 50 kilos, am back to 49 kilos again. But this time am 49 kilos but much leaner than the 49 kilos before. I think it is because the NO RICE thing helped in shedding off the extra fats on my belly area. I am down 1 dress size. It is only been 2 weeks since I started the diet. In lieu of rice, I'd have "camote" or brown rice at times, or oatmeal especially at night.  So yeah, that's the update. I'll hope I can continue with the diet and lose another pound by next week. Ill keep you posted. God bless guys! :)

Glutathione Injectables' Side Effects: Is it bad for you?

If you've ever thought of trying this Glutathione Injectables, think again! You might be doing more harm than good to your body. You mustn't compromise your health for beauty's sake!

While I was "facebooking" (I don't know if this word really exists), I saw a post shared by someone regarding the use of Glutathione Injectables. I am not into this thing so I kind of just ignored it.  But since, it came up again the second time I opened facebook, I decided to read it.   What an eye opener!  What I thought was a safe thing, and can only do you good and make you more beautiful if beauty is even measured by being "white" by some (oh am not white skinned), turned out to be fatal.


If you ever wondered if Glutathione Injectables are safe, or if there are side effects from using them, you gotta read this.


Here's an excerpt of what I found from http://www.interaksyon.com/article/3424/fda-says-injecting-glutathione-can-cause-serious-harm-even-death

"The FDA advisory said the erroneous use of glutathione administered intravenously as a skin-whitening agent may trigger adverse drug reactions, with serious consequences on the health of users. Injections by untrained persons can also lead to serious infections; and needle sharing can spread such diseases as hepatitis and HIV/AIDS.

“The use of glutathione IV as a skin whitener is not approved by the FDA. The public is strongly warned to refrain from using glutathione for this purpose in light of potential harm associated with such use,” said FDA head Suzette Lazo.

“There is inadequate safety documentation on the use of high doses of glutathione administered at 600 mg to 1.2 grams once weekly and even up to twice weekly,” the FDA reported.

The use of “high doses” of glutathione can lead not only to skin rashes but also to potentially fatal skin diseases like Steven Johnsons Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, said the agency.

The practice could also impair thyroid and kidney functions, resulting in kidney failure and severe abdominal pain in a patient who injects glutathione twice a week.

Worse, a person who self-injects without any training could be in greater danger from serious infections, the introduction of harmful microorganisms including fatal sepsis; or the injection of air into the body, leading to blood clots that can clog the arteries.

The unsafe use of needles, like recycling and sharing, can result in the transmission of hepatitis B and even AIDS/HIV, said Lazo.xxx

 Intravenous administration, however, delivers very high doses directly into the systemic circulation and may overload the renal circulation, causing kidney failure."

"The FDA gave this bit of advice to complexion-conscious Filipinos, warning that high doses of glutathione administered intravenously as a skin-whitening agent has been linked to fatal skin disorders.

FDA chief Dr. Suzette Lazo on Friday expressed alarm over the recent cases of fatal skin disorders such as Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis linked to the unapproved use of glutathione IV administered at 600 milligrams to 1.2 grams once or twice a week.
?We have become increasingly alarmed that people use this in very high doses intravenously as a skin-whitening agent,? Lazo told reporters in a press briefing at the Department of Health office in Manila.

No FDA approval
She said the dosage between 600 milligrams and 1.2 grams administered as a skin-whitening agent has no approval from the FDA.

?The only approved indication for this format of glutathione is to help cancer patients cope with the toxicity associated with cisplatin chemotherapy,? said Lazo.

Glutathione is a natural and ?endogenous? substance or antioxidant produced by the liver to help boost the body?s immune system. But manufacturers of the glutathione solution have successfully marketed it for its whitening properties.

?Glutathione as a skin whitener was an accidental discovery which has not been really established or proven according to bodies of medical literature,? said Lazo.

?We would like to remind the public and warn them that glutathione injection is a very unsafe practice and I hope they will stop receiving these injections at this point to preserve their health,? Lazo added."


I understand that many of us who are not gifted with a fair skin would want to improve our complexion. But before we go with craze, let us be responsible enough to do our part of researching and consulting the experts.  We only have one body so we must take good care of it.

Why not avail of natural products to whiten the skin. Eat healthier too, and yes avoid the sun and always wear sunscreen.  Take care of yourself!

Maldita Bleach Review

It was by chance that I discovered this bleaching cream called "Maldita Bleach". I discovered it through facebook. I am not obsessed of becoming fair or white or mestiza. I'm happily contented with my skin. Uneven skin tone is a sure problem due to genetics and too much sun bathing, yeah sun exposure, but other than that, I'm at peace with my skin color. But because of the too much rave about this bleaching cream, that is by the way Philippine made, I decided to give it a try. The price was between 180 pesos to 250 pesos. I'm not sure about the Maldita Bleach reseller price though. It is pricey if you ask me, because the container is way too big for what is inside it.  One container should last you only 1 whole body application, I guess.  You also need to do the bleaching process for 7 straight days and then you do the maintenance which is twice a week or so depending on the skin tone you want to achieve. Of course if you have a darker skin, it will take time for you to reach your desired "fairness". 


The Maldita Bleaching cream smelled like it has "Perla" soap in it. It is  white in color. It looks like it has milk in it too. But the packaging doesn't really say what are its contents. I think, it should indicate the ingredients to inform the users of what they are putting on their body. The special ingredient may be kept secret though. Why am I saying this, it's because I just read that some popular beauty products like PONDS and OLAY have mercury.   That is why I feel it is obligatory that the consumers be informed of what products are made of. I believe it is our RIGHT!


Anyway, I decided to try the Maldita Bleach on my darker knuckles and feet. Not on the face, cause I'm afraid of any allergic reaction since our face has really sensitive skin. I tried the 7 day Maldita Bleach challenge. And the results? Well, it worked! The skin has lightened to about 2 shades lighter. It will take some more bleaching before those parts even out with the rest of my body. No itching at all during the 7 day bleaching period. You can actually see an improvement in the skin tone immediately thereafter.  I still have some or should I say quite a lot of the bleach left. But it is all wasted now cause the cream has a life span of only 2 weeks according to my seller. I did hear they have manufactured new Maldita bleach with a shelf life of 3 months. I'm not sure though.

Final Verdict:

Maldita Bleach works! But I won't be buying again. Why?First, I don't know the ingredients. 2nd, if one stops bleaching, eventually your skin will return to it's original skin tone.  3rd, I prefer all natural remedies for skin bleaching like lemon, potato, papaya, and milk.


If you have any questions about this whitening/bleaching cream, shoot me a comment or an email. I'd be happy to answer your queries.

God bless!

Review: Skinny Coffee By Sakura (Weight Loss Results)

Weight gain has forced me to be more active again, by engaging in daily exercise and making healthy food choices.  

I gained about 5 kilos since I started my new job.  Considering that I am not a tall woman, a slight weight gain is already obvious. So last month, I decided my weight loss program.  5 kilos isn't that hard to lose, right? But it is not the case for someone who is not that big.  In my case 5 kilos is still very hard to lose. So I decided to cheat a little.  I tried a slimming coffee- SKINNY COFFEE by Sakura.  Of course, I did my part of researching first. I am very well aware of the dangers associated with not going the natural way.  My advise is to always go natural as much as possible.

So anyway, I tried the Be Light 5 Day Program of Skinny Coffee by Sakura.  The instruction says I must drink 1 cup of Skinny Coffee daily for 5 days, preferably every morning. The Skinny Coffee is supposed to curb your appetite and make you drink more water throughout the day.  The ingredients will help you lose all those extra inches off your body. 


 
1 box of Skinny Coffee with 5 sachets costs 120 pesos to as much as 180 pesos, depending on the seller. I got mine from an online seller. Please be aware that there are fake Skinny Coffee by Sakura, so be very very careful.

So what did I feel while taking this slimming coffee? It tasted so good. It is just your ordinary coffee. I love the taste. I had no palpitations, no headaches, no dizziness. I also noticed that I was sweating more. I also was always thirsty so I up my water intake.  I also did not feel that hungry as I used to feel without the coffee.   So i continued the 5 day program. But there were times when I'd drink two cups of coffee a day. I heard feedbacks that those who drank it twice a day lost at least 2 kilos  a week. But, that didnt happen to me. Did I lose weight drinking Sakura Skinny Coffee?  Yes I did!  I lost more than a kilo. But what I really noticed the most is my belly area. It wasn't bloated and I definitely lost an inch or so. Amazing!  But I did not just rely on the coffee. I was doing exercises and I minimized my rice/bread/sweets intake. So I think it wasn't just the coffee alone.  But guys, the changes in belly size is so noticeable. I really love it! 

Will I buy and take this coffee again? Yes but I will not be taking two cups a day and it won't be because of weight loss. I'll take this coffee because I love coffee.  I still want the natural way of losing weigh though.

If you love your life and you value your health then DO NOT DRINK THIS COFFEE!


This Baian Lishou Slimming Coffee has been banned by the Food and Drug Administration of FDA for it's dangerous content. I know many have good results using this Lishou Slimming Coffee/Lishou Weight Loss Coffee, in fact there are some Lishou Coffee reviews online and most of them are positive reviews. However, this coffee is dangerous. It is not safe for consumption. Here's why (source: www.fda.gov/Drugs/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/BuyingUsingMedicineSafely/MedicationHealthFraud/ucm468940.htm/)
"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Lishou Slimming Coffee, a product promoted for weight loss. This product was identified by FDA during an examination of international mail shipments. 
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Lishou Slimming Coffee contains sibutramine. Sibutramine is a controlled substance that was removed from the market in October 2010 for safety reasons. The product poses a threat to consumers because sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, or stroke. This product may also interact, in life-threatening ways, with other medications a consumer may be taking.
Health care professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of this product to FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:xxx"


Losing weight fast and effortlessly is so appealing. But must we sacrifice our health for a skinnier body? Must we follow this unsafe way of shedding off the pounds or lose weight the natural and healthy way? It is your choice! It is your body afterall!  

Don't say you weren't warned!
