My First Badge As A Gardener

My first higad exereince was when I was 10 years old. I remember I was playing.. then it was itchy everywhere, the next thing I knew, my arms were filled with rashes. I remember my lola poured vinegar on it then I took a bath and applied baby powder on it.

That was 20 years ago.. must be the reason why my body reacted differently when again, I got contact with higad. It was itchy.. and I can’t breathe.. my anti body’s really active!

As usual, I our some vinegar on it.. then washed it thoroughly but to no avail.. I had to drink an anti allergy so that it would stop itching.

Oh well, there goes my first badge as a gardener!

Happy Weekend!

Lose More, Live More: CrossFit Training With Art and Angela

Hmm.. where do I start this entry?

I.CAN’T.WALK.

Well, I can walk but my whole body’s aching! Going upstairs is another thing.. Uh Oh.. I had this kind of “I can’t walk state” when I first tried Metafit. That’s just a 4 minute work out but coming from a sedentary lifestyle, my muscles was like WHOA! WHAT WAS THAT?!? Doing Metafit from time to time, I thought I would be spared from aches after CrossFit.. and I was wrong.

What is CrossFit? (from CrossFit Manila)

Crossfit is elite fitness for everyone at – from couch potatoes to seasoned athletes. It is a program that was originally developed by legendary coach Greg Glassman after his many years of watching, working with, and coaching all types of people.
CrossFit workouts are constantly varied movements executed at high intensity, thus every workout is different and you will rarely do the same thing twice. The workouts themselves are completely scalable, which means that a new participant and an elite athlete can complete the same workout with changes in load and intensity. CrossFit workouts will deliver phenomenal fitness in and of themselves or as a compliment to your sport-specific training regime.
Basically, CrossFit is not your ordinary workout, but it is for ordinary people looking for extraordinary results.

Indeed it was not our ordinary workout! What we had was WOD or work out of the day which is 7 Wall Balls, 7 Push ups, 7 Box Jumps and 7 Burpees. Sounds easy eh? haha yes, if you will do it just once..but if you have to do it for 10 minutes, that’s another thing!

Wall Balls is holding a 3 kg ball (heavier for the boys and fort he seasoned ones) and throwing it on the wall, while doing push up.

Push Ups, you know that already 🙂

Box Jumps is jumping in and out of the box, the push coming from within.. it was hard for me so we just step in and out 🙁

Burpees, you can find a how to at C-lium website

Here we are after the work out.. sweaty but pretty! hahaha it hadn’t kicked in.. yet!

After the work out, we had a sumptuous lunch (na located sa 2nd floor! aray kupo!) and Nutritionists Nadine Tengco and Pinoy Biggest Loser finalists Art and Angela gave us us some tips and advice on losing weight.

Miss Nadine taught us the proper way to lose weight and eating less is not one of it. She was also kind enough to discuss to us the science behind our body in terms of eating. The most important thing that I have learned from her is the most efefctive way to lose weight is to INCREASE METABOLISM, and it can happen if you eat right.

Eating right means eating every 3-4 hours a day with protein, carbs and fiber on the plate. She also mentioned that our plate should always consist of 1/2 veggies, 1/4 protein and 1/4 carbo. The science behind it is eating every 3-4 hours makes our glucos level stable…making our body function at its most optimal state.

She also shared with us the essential rules in weight loss:

Frequency, as mentioned above eat every 3-4 hours every day.
Quality, food that you should eat: Nutrient Dense (more nutrients and less calories), Volume Metric (more water and more fiber) and Whole foods (fresh, raw and unprocessed)
Quantity: 1000-1200 kcal consumption per day

With this guideline + CrossFit and of course C-lium fiber, I think I can have my desire weight in no time!

Now you know more about weight loss, are you ready to take the challenge? Who wants to live more and lose more? And if you’re already living more, why don’t you join C-lium’s Lose More. Live More promo:

Star Treatment: Lycopene Treatment At Azta Salon

I had my first color in 2001.. my hair is very manageable, straight and shiny, no need for rebonding and even hot oil. The only treatment it had was the hair color in 2001. Then I turned 30 early this year and felt the need for a change. I colored my hair once again, my almost virgin hair. I love the new hair color and I get a lot of compliments. I intend to keep it that way.. then it dawned to me, too much hair treatment might damaged my hair..

So for months, I let my hair just like that.. showing its roots and screaming for a new treatment! And last week, I finally made up my mind to go for another color and just see where it would lead my hair.

And just when I thought I had to endure another hair color with so much worries on my mind, I was offered to try a STAR TREATMENT and MLV Hair Color at Azta Salon ! Oh my, it’s my lucky day!

The Star Treatment is a Lycopene treatment formulated by Chihtsai, a brand that Jennifer Lopez and Korean actor Lee Byung-Hun uses. I think, that’s the reason why it’s called star treatment. And yes, you read it right, LYCOPENE! never thought that Lycopene is also good for hair no? me too!

Chihtsai Star Treatment: Lycopene Hair Treatment is the perfect pre- & post-color / colored hair treatment, it is enriched with Lycopene to help protect hair from UV rays and free radicals, helping to reverse and prevent free radical damage. The treatment helps to protect and maintain your hair color.
Moreover, the product also includes Hybrid Sunflower Oil to leave the hair cuticle smooth, shiny & protected; Hydrolized Wheat Peptides to strengthen the hair shaft & reduce hair fall; and Collagen which reduces porosity of the hair. Hair that has high porosity means that cuticles are wide open so hair is damaged; while low porosity means that the cuticles are too compact so it is resistant to colors and perms. Lycopene hair treatment helps hair achieve a healthy normal balanced porosity.
The product is also infused with mint for a refreshing feel on the scalp.
The Chihtsai Lycopene Treatment is a revolutionary service that recharges your hair by both repairing and protecting from further damage.

Azta Urban Salon at Eastwood is nearest to me, so I had my service at the said salon. It was located at Eastwood Citywalk 2, near Cha Time and 7 Eleven.

As I enter the salon, I was greeted by the friendly receptionist Mel and was guided to my seat. As I was wait for the stylist, I was offered a drink (coffee, milk tea etc), of course I had old milk tea 🙂

Mr. Jo, my stylist, was very thorough with my treatment. I asked him what color should I get for my hair and as you can see, he’s busy comparing colors! I love how it turned out and according to him he used 2 colors(medium ash blonde and dark ash blonde, if my memory serves me right) and a bronzer.

After the hair color (which lasted for an hour or so) my hair was in for the STAR TREATMENT: Chihtsai Lycopene Treatment

The Star Treatment lasted for just a few minutes, a nice back massage and the Lycopene was left on my hair for 20 minutes then it was rinsed of. I was told not to wash my hair for 24 hours and to come after a month for retreatment of hair color. I also learned that I can have Lycopene treatment every month. Well, I think I would, specially that Lycopene Hair Treatment is on promo@ Buy one and get the next one free! The promo is up until September 30!

So what’s my new hair color and how was the treatment?

It compliments my skin very well! And as you can see, hair is shinier and looking better!

Here’s another shot, front naman:

I noticed that my hair is softer too… well I have to see in the coming days if it will stay the same and will dries out..but so far, I am loving every strand! Thank you Azta Salon for giving me the STAR TREATMENT!
