Interesting Eye Care Tips


I have noticed quite many bloggers have very bad eye bags and dark eye rings. Must be due to the late night photo shopping and looking at the iphone at night in bed.
The skin surrounding your eyes is one of the most sensitive areas of the body and hence, needs to be given special attention. This tender area, which is ten times more thinner than the rest of your skin, is often exposed to an array of problems like puffy eyes, dark circles, wrinkles, loss of eyelashes and fine lines. Having a beautiful face but with wrinkles around the eye can make a person look old.
Thus, to maintain a youthful appearance, eye skin care is an absolute must. Thankfully, nowadays, there are a wide range of beauty treatments and products which can effectively treat the skin around the eyes. Then there are the various home remedies that can be used to cure puffy eyes and other problems without any side effects.
Drinking plenty of water and digging on fruits and vegetables is the key to healthy skin and will go a long way if you want to take care of your eye skin. Read on to find out how to get rid of baggy eyes and dark circles, secrets of healthy and beautiful eyes and much more.

Getting dark circles and baggy eyes has now become a common problem and haunts both old and middle-aged people and even youngsters these days. Stress, late working hours, faulty diet, etc can be blamed for causing puffy eyes and dark circles. However, it can be easily sorted out if you follow few precautionary measures and take effective steps. Read further to know how to curb the problem.

  • Mash a tomato well into a paste. Add a pinch of turmeric powder and lemon juice and apply this mixture underneath the eyes. After a period of ten minutes, wash your face with water. Do this regularly to ward off the dark circles.
  • Take a few drops of almond oil and massage it gently under your eyes for ten minutes to treat dark circles.
  • Take a bowl of ice cold water and dip two cotton wool balls in it. Now, take them out and squeeze out the excess liquid. Next, place the cotton balls on your eyes until they become warm.
  • Cut a cucumber into thick slices and place a slice over each eye. Lie down for ten to fifteen minutes and relax with your eyes closed. By doing this, not only your eyes get rejuvenated but it also aids in getting rid of tired and puffy eyes.
  • Another way to cool your eyes is to apply chilled tea bags or by wrapping an ice cube in a soft cloth and then placing it over your eyes.

  • Drink plenty of water to keep your eyes well-moisturized and sparkling.
  • Avoid drinking alcohol as it causes redness in the eyes.
  • To add a glamorous touch to your eyes and make them look attractive, use eye lash curlers. Many beauty stores today sell ordinary metal eye lash curlers at reasonable prices.
  • Avoid junk and salty foods as they cause water retention, which in turn makes the skin near the eyes bloated.
  • Wear glares to protect your eyes from the harmful ultraviolet rays. Buy branded sun glasses as cheap ones are harmful.
  • Every morning, splash your eyes with generous amounts of water to keep it cool and clean.
  • Gorge on foods that are rich in vitamin A and C such as mangoes, oranges, spinach, fish, pumpkins, tomato, capsicum, cabbage, and the like.
  • Constant glaring at computers or TV can damage your eyes so take few minutes break from time to time.
  • Avoid reading in dim light or working in front of the computer system for long hours as this will lead to dark circles and baggy eyes.
  • Taking adequate rest and sleeping for at least seven to eight hours is a must to keep your eyes glowing.

Juice for a Change


I tend to always ask for the same combination: Orange Carrot. Because i don't know better otherwise. 
Juicing is a popular way to detoxify the body and enjoy a change from chomping on solid foods. Drinking fresh vegetable and fruit juices can help flush out the toxins from your body and thereby help you get clear, healthy skin. Here’s a list of fruit juices which you may want to try for a change:

Apple + Cucumber + Kiwi
Improves skin complexion.

Pear + Banana
Regulates sugar content.

Carrot + Apple + Pear + Mango
Clears body heat, counteracts toxicity, decreases blood pressure and fight oxidization.

Honeydew + Grape + Watermelon + Milk
Rich in vitamin C & vitamin B2 that increase cell activity and strengthen body immunity.

Papaya + Pineapple + Milk
Rich in vitamin C, E, Iron. Improve skin complexion and metabolism.

Banana + Pineapple + Milk

What’s in a Black Box?

Advertorial

This month’s Black Box is power packed with stuff. Look, it has two layers!
Beauty/ sample/ surprise boxes have been predominantly catered for the female but Black Box is the first FREE unisex lifestyle-sampling box in Singapore. The Black Box team only sends out tried and tested products to encourage responsible sampling.

Not just products, but there’re also vouchers for dining places, online shops etc. that comes in a translucent pouch that is a different design in every box, making it a collectible! I have two now :P
Dismantling my Black Box, some of the items I particularly liked are the Zappy Baby Wipes that is fragrance and chemical free. If not for Black Box, I would not have got to try out Bioflora Collabee, which is a pineapple flavored honey collagen drink to help maintain well hydrated and luminous skin. Meant to be a bedtime drink to rebuild skin, normalize immune system, improve bone and joint health, hydrate tissues and promote healthy hair and nails! Each bottle would have cost $7.80 and I got it free!


If not for Black Box, I would also not know that Nescafe has Hazelnut Latte. The aroma is fragrant and it actually foams!


Then there is Uncle Toby which is a healthier quick fix for the munchies! I sometimes use it as a meal replacement if I’m busy. 
Loreal’s Revitalift serum and cream is meant to reduce wrinkles and even skin tone. I’m so glad  there is Black Box because it allows me to try out these skin care before committing to full sized products! 
Belief is a new brand to me, so the samplers are really helpful! Can’t quite give a verdict yet because I haven’t used them for a week yet. I think 21 days would be enough to determine a product’s effectiveness? Afterall, a bad habit takes 21 days to break! BUT the Vanish stain remover, which is also one of the products in Black Box this month, shows results instanteously! It has to. It’s a stain remover!
Subscribe at www.blackbox.sgand key in “christine” in the referrer code column and stand a chance to receive your own FREE Black Box with at least 4 deluxe samples in the next edition! You do not need to subscribe again if you have already done so.

Also, “like” Black Box on Facebook because they have giveaways and the latest promotions.

Big breasts are a fantasy to most men and women. Apart from genes, nutrition during a girl’s puberty plays a part on her cup size. My Malay friend swears on eating a chicken drumstick daily while my Chinese friend swears it’s her boyfriend who helped massaged her babies for 4 years.

Everyone has their method, some even resorting to plastic surgery. 

For the less well-endowed women, Tokyo Bust Express has treatments that use phytoestrogen found in plants to help build the breast tissue to be bigger, firmer and shapelier.

Does it work? I went to find out at City Square Mall (B2-39).

With a little apprehension, the consultant explained to me the science behind the treatment. With a massage technique mastered from Japan coupled with cutting edge technology and serums that is made from natural ingredients like Fenugreek, Mexican Wild Yam Root, Humulu Lupulus and Dang Gui Root.

We candidly talked about my breasts.

The breast model seemed to be mocking at me from her photo frame.
After patiently listening to my desires for a fuller, larger size and answering my questions about the treatment, my consultant, Taylor, asks me to disrobe and examines my breasts.

When I disrobed, she immediately pointed out that I was wearing the wrong bra. I learned that ¾ cup bras give the best support; the one I was wearing was too small. I sheepishly admitted that I downsized on purpose because I wanted an overspill of boobs to give the illusion that I had big breasts!

Wearing the wrong bra and not wearing bras at home will result in sagging. Our breasts start sagging from age 18 and accelerate when we hit 25.

No wonder my male friend once said, “all breasts are the same without bras.”

They SAG.
Before treatment, Taylor measured my naked chest against the wall and drew where my nipples were. While I’m a modest cup B, my breasts are a tad spaced out, heading east and westwards. Because I haven’t been watching the type of bras I’m wearing, unsightly rolls of fat, sometimes known as “armpit fat” has accumulated. 
I made myself comfortable in the room, the rose petals made it feel like my wedding night. 

A firming scrub on my breasts was first done to remove dead skin cell for better penetration. A padding machine is then used on me. It is like 2 rubber pads placed on my breasts and they send mild electric pulses at the lower circumference of my breasts upwards as if giving it a push UP.

The breast massage that came later was slightly uncomfortable but bearable. An unusual firm pressure was exerted; it was also ticklish because my rib cage was being rubbed. The aim of the massage is to help boost circulation and helps in detoxification. A better circulation prevents bust-related illnesses such as cysts, lumps and even help to prevent cancer.

Then suction therapy is applied. This is two suction cups placed on my breasts and a light circular suction is felt. This helps in shaping the breast to be rounder and stimulates the mammary glands to make it fuller.

I drifted in and out of dreamy sleep during the treatment.


It isn’t as relaxing as going to the spa, but still I drifted in and out of dreamy sleep during the treatment.
Finally, a heated mask is placed to help penetrate all the serums applied deeper.

I woke up to visible results of my breast enhancement. I stood against the wall naked again for a measurement and my nipples were marked. They both moved about an inch upwards, indicating a lift. My armpit fat diminished a little and my breasts gave a rounder appearance. I am surprised and I’m sold on natural enhancement. 

However, results only last 1-2 weeks and to make it permanent, one is expected to go for 5-10 treatments. Not all women seeking treatment are flat chest, some come for health reasons (promote circulation), some to shape back their breasts after childbirth or with age.

 I walk out convinced, happier and more confident.
