Thiocell Lozenges Glutathione Supplement by Brady Pharma Inc.

  • Posted on May 17, 2013 at 1:55 pm

I’m sure you think you’ve heard enough of different brands of Glutathione. But here’s something worth a close second look at – Thiocell Glutathione Lozenges. It came over the weekend with a basket full of fruits, on Mother’s Day, at that! Thank you, Brady Pharma, Inc.! You know best how to treat a mommy recuperating from illness!  I used to the fruits to make our fruits shakes. I loved the kiwis the best! :D

I have been regularly taking another glutathione supplement primarily because I need to ensure my liver’s health. My allergic medication has compelled me to regularly take antihistamine on a daily basis and glutathione acts as our liver’s detoxifier. As for the supposed skin whitening side effect, I was not really so gung-ho for. As for the supplements I have been taking, I really have not seen much of a difference. Let’s see, now that I switched to Thiocell. After that Batangas sun soaking last month, I really would love to get my color back. :-)

Now, if I happen to sound a little Greek from here. You see, I have kind of done my assignment. I have not really exactly been the healthiest individual in the planet. Having to deal with chronic allergies here and there and have one birthday in a hospital bed, believe me when I say, I know what I’m saying. This is what basically pushes me to pursue a healthier lifestyle.

And when I found out that Glutathione is essentially a triple threat to bodily toxins beyond detoxifying the liver, it also neutralizes free radicals and enhances the immune system. Thiocell also is beneficial for diabetic patients with fatty liver. Thiocell does not contain alcohol or animal products and contains no added sugar, starch, wheat, preservatives or artificial flavor.

  • Posted on May 15, 2013 at 3:28 pm

UNIQLO announces a collaboration with O’2nd, to offer the Korean women’s brand’s fun and funky summer dress collection at all UNIQLO outlets across its 13 markets worldwide, and at its online store. The collection will feature “The Little Band Dress”; an assortment of colorful belted dresses based on the multifaceted function of dressing with form combined with the color block, cut out, stripes, and floral print signature elements of O’2nd.

UNIQLO has a long record of successful collaboration with global brands, including +J, and UU. This latest tie up with O’2nd was driven by Yukihiro Katsuta of UNIQLO R&D, who said, “We have often collaborated with Western and Japanese designers, and this time we are pleased to partner with a Korean brand aiming to take itself from Asia to the World.”

Korean Women’s Brand O’2nd

O’2nd is managed by SK networks, and the president Kevin Cho said, “It is very meaningful that UNIQLO, which has already done the collaborative design project with global fashion brands such as Theory, Undercover and Jil Sander, appreciated the design competitiveness of O’2nd and suggested the collaboration. Through this collaboration, it’ll give an opportunity to people around the world to meet and experience O’2nd.”

The O’2nd summer dresses are composed of twelve items, all available only at UNIQLO SM Mall of Asia beginning from May 16, 2013 for between Php 990 – P1990. Currently, O’2nd products are available at department stores and select retail shops across 14 markets, including Japan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Russia, the U.K., and the U.S.

My Velasmooth Treatment Experience (with OOTD)

  • Posted on May 10, 2013 at 6:32 pm

Exactly a month from now, my boys and I are flying to Plantation Bay to celebrate my son’s 8th birthday! While I have been pretty stretched physically with all the getting settled phase (our home expansion project is finally done after 15 weeks), my flabs have been screaming to get toned – like seriously. The consultation I had with SKIN last Monday and the free Velasmooth treatment they gave cannot be more timely!

First off, a before Velasmooth treatment OOTD shot. I love that I can still wear kid’s blouses and shirts to this day. My favorite comfy shirts nowadays are the ones that are handed down to me by my 7 year old boy. But fact is, as happy as I am that I can wear a kid’s shirt, my flabs problem is no less of an issue.

I have always loved the serene feel of entering The Spa, as I get welcomed by its cascading waterfalls. SKIN is no different. The interior is as tranquil as I have always known The Spa for. I can totally wait here all day with a good book and the best tasting ginger tea I have always gone back for at the Spa. :-)

I made sure I threw in all my cellulite-related questions during my consult with SKIN’s resident dermatologist. I sure have learned a lot about Velasmooth treatment. For one, Velasmooth is the first clinically proven non-invasive technology for the efficient treatment of cellulite and circumference reduction. It can be done once or twice a week, depending on the doctor’s advice. As I showed Dra. my problematic right thigh, which I started noticing to have gone from bad to worse from two years ago, she was encouraging enough to let me know that it really is not so bad and can be taken cared of within a month of Velasmooth treatment! Precisely my deadline to get in shape for our Plantation Bay trip!

Working from Home Wearing Innisfree Shea Butter Mask

  • Posted on May 9, 2013 at 4:15 pm

There is probably no other job on earth (except perhaps for those who are in the cosmetics department) that can have you work as your face is plastered with a mask like this — Innisfree Shea Butter, specifically, for me, for this time being. It’s like seeing the twin sister of phantom himself (is he had any), this time with a full mask. I was supposed to upload a photo of me with a mask but was way too shy. My eyes gave my illness away. I have been under the weather for a good month now. The stress of settling back home must have triggered my allergy attacks.
Innisfree shea butter mask

As I found my skin being too tired than usual lately, I pulled out this Innisfree Shea Butter mask from one of my recent Saladbox subscription boxes. The label is mostly in Korean yard sign printing. But that did not stop me from using it. I always knew anyway that Shea butter has some real good moisturizing and hydrating qualities, so Innisfree Shea Butter Mask, it is. I love that it is infused with the blend of herb complex water and essentially ingredients from nature. Natural ingredients always get the upper hand with me. :-)

Inside the Innisfree Mask

Shea butter-enriched sheet mask soothes and hydrates dry skin for a dramatic improvement in its moisture level after every use. Thick sheet masks are also steeped in herb complex water, treating skin to a steady stream of vitamins and minerals that perk up a drab complexion while strengthening its natural moisture barrier.

Speck Macbook Case 50% Off Promo

  • Posted on May 9, 2013 at 10:48 am

As soon as the hubby handed me my Macbook Pro last year, it was no less than Speck I got hold off to make sure I got this swanky gadget protected. I love that after several months, it still looks as good as new. More importantly, it totally delivers to the full protection it claims. Its durable hard case shell protects my machine from scratches and scuffs.  The integrated rubber feet makes for a reliable stability. And because I hardly shut my Macbook down, I have totally maximized Speck’s feature of being fully vented, makes for an optimized heat dissipation. :-)

Sophia Eyelash Enhancer by Virginia Olsen

  • Posted on May 7, 2013 at 6:01 pm

As far as I have known, I am not what you may consider blessed in the the eyebrow and eyelash department. Sparse and few – two words. When eyelash extensions started to sprout some years back, I jumped at the chance – I blogged about my “Betty Boop lashes” in 2009. I believe the brand used human hair wigs, which was good. But it was the medical grade glue’s fumes that irritated my eyes. I lost lashes too many since – my poor already sparse and few soul windows. I bought home with me Enormous Lash the year after. Because inasmuch as I love to make honest reviews, I did not get that post updated because it triggered eye problems, including ultra dry eyes and my having to wear multi-coated spectacles.

The leaflet says that the package contains:  Sophia Solution 5ml, Eye Lubricant, Reusable Applicator Brush. I’m not sure why my package lacked the eye lubricant. Good thing I do not have the need for it (yet). :-)
