The advent of Wellness Generation paved the way for people to not just embrace healthy living but also go into exceptional lengths when it comes to maintaining the skin’s youthful glow. While there are a bunches of more invasive procedure, the non-invasive ones, I will always personally favor.
Having tried the RF (radio frequency) treatment a few times, I really did not see much of a difference. But there is this new anti-aging light therapy/treatment that has caught my attention.
This Luxe Skin Rejuvenation Photofacial Device by Tanda is something I can make use of in the comforts of my own home. Yes, I’m a homebody like that. Being a non-fan of the metro’s otherwise permanent and horrendous traffic, leaving the house for a facial treatment will never really be on top of my priority list. The biggest plus is this, it only costs a fraction of the price of a couple of RF treatment packages. How’s that for savings!

Let me just start this entry by saying that Jennifer Lynn UV Gel Nail Polish is a klutz’s best friend. I finally got to try it out for myself a few days before we left for our Vietnam – Cambodia trip some weeks ago. Because I practically mess up my manicure in less than ten minutes after application, I rarely have my nails done in a salon. If at all, I would almost always have to go back in less than 20 minutes to have the blasted paint redone. Frustrating, I know! This basically explains why I have a collection of nail polish at home. Doing the polish myself and having them repainted when needed proved to be the most practical to do. But even then regardless of the brand I use, whether it is O.P.I., Elianto, Orly or Revlon, the paint will chip in two days tops.

Two words won me over when I first heard of Jennifer Lynn UV gel nail polish — “instant” and “permanent.” And with my high maintenance nail polish issue, I can’t be blamed! 
When my dear friend, Iris recommended Polished ‘em Nail Salon and Waxing Studio, I headed right there after I got discharged from my 6 days hospital confinement. I know! I did not have time anymore after that, save for the packing and the last minute shopping for our then upcoming week long trip.

Hello Ladies and few Gents who joined Kikay Corner’s Rajo Laurel Tree Bag giveaway! Please pardon the week long delay of the contest winner announcement. We just got back from Tarlac for our annual summer youth camp outreach. It has been an awesome week! While it is natural for us to love pretty things that we feature here on Kikay Corner. They really are finite and temporal. Lovely things, nonetheless. But what’s more worthy of celebration are the professions of faith of over 200 young people at camp last week!
After being a virtual assistant for a few years now, I have found myself going rusty in all the other things I used to do. While I so love my current work from home job and the perks of blogging about the things of my interest, it would also be great to take on a new hobby.
One of the two essentials I made sure I got packed in my luggage before we flew for Vietnam and Cambodia was Gloww Capsules. The other one was my trusty insect repellent spray. We were told that mosquitoes are really huge in Cambodia and we are not risking our son getting dengue again. The other one is my current skin regimen favorite, Gloww.
Now that I’m done with the two months trial of Gloww Capsules, I can say that I am pretty impressed how my skin stayed just as fair despite the tours that involved a whole lot of sun exposure. Now, just to give you ladies an idea how hot it was in Cambodia. Imagine, the Manila heat, then add half of all the scorching heat to that. I would have stayed in the hotel, if it were up to me. But my very active hubby who loves the outdoors won’t allow me to throw away our once in lifetime vacation just like that. It was actually our first one full week getaway ever!
Aside from sunblock, the whole time we were in Vietnam and Cambodia, there was no other skin care product I used but Gloww Capsules. I did not bother pack my usual night cream. My toiletries bag was just way too full already and besides, I thought my skin can make use of the needed break too. :-)
