7 beauty problems and here’s how to fix them

Some women are just born perfect. They have flawless skin, toned, sexy body, and silky, long, luscious hair, while some just don’t have it all. If you belong to the first group, you are blessed. You are one of those women we get so jealous of because you just look absolutely perfect anytime of the day.

But for those who belong to the second group, fret not! You are not alone. Even seemingly perfect celebrities have flaws they just know how to correct them.

Here are seven common beauty problems and how to fix them:

1.         Dry skin. As we grow older, our skin gradually grows thinner and produces less natural oil. Experts say these factors contribute to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dry skin is caused by changes of weather, steamy showers, moisture-robbing soaps, too much scrubbing, aging, irritants, or skin conditions.

Traveling in style comes easy with foldable boots

When travelling, your shoe companion is one of the most important things to consider. You should be able to walk in them properly, the shoes should withstand different walking surfaces, they shouldn’t cause pain to your feet, and last but not the least, these shoes have to be stylish.

MEET DOMINO : MANTIS

I recently meet an artist that no matter what happen, no matter what she had choose before, she eventually give in to what her heart desires; and that’s to sing . She may have the same surname with a famous artist, she may be a sister of this artist   but she is in her own right an artist herself. I was privileged to meet Lally Buendia.

The artist: This woman’s music career started in grade school, when she sang a Filipino folk song on stage. A few years after, she then recorded her first album “Fair Tales”, in which she realized that music was indeed her lifelong calling. She’s definitely no diva or pop princess though. If you see Lally Buendia aka Domino in person, you know that with her leather-wearing vibe and blunt, edgy ‘do, she’s sharp and feisty and she surely won’t sing you any love song. But worry not because she just might, in her latest album Mantis.

On Mantis: Two years in the making, Lally would write songs on days when she was on either side of her emotional spectrum. She believes this album is her unabashed attempt to come out and kick ass. She was also tremendously lucky to have worked with a motley crew of brilliant artists in the music scene – Ely Buendia (Pupil, The Oktaves), Pat Tirano (TOI), Jerome Velasco (Daydream Cycle), Jazz Nicolas (The Itchyworms), Mikey Amistoso (Ciudad, Hannah+Gabi), and Eric Perlas (COG) who co-produced the album. Japs Sergio (Peso Movement, Daydream Cycle) co-wrote 2 songs and Aldus Santos (The Purplechickens) wrote a track and recorded guitars and vocals for it. Clem Castro (The Camerawalls) and Wendell Garcia (Pupil) also played on a couple of tracks. Having grown up in a family where everyone’s into music of all sorts, you’ll be able to hear strains of these genres in all her songs. And as she is never one to box out her band in one category, she defines Domino’s music as a fusion of everything, easily one that she would like to listen to, just probably with more bits of pop in it, as this is her biggest influence.

Mantis includes the following tracks: “I Love You, But I’m Driving”, “His Song”, “Veil”, “I Die Each Time”, “Eight Days”, “Farichild”, “Oath”, “This Furious Now”, “To Thunder” and “Dites-moi”.

So ladies and gents, enough said. How about we skip the pleasantries?  Buckle up and prepare for a sexy sound trip. If you’re in for a funking out, eargasmic time, Mantis won’t disappoint.

Always remember that Mantis is Domino ( Lally Buendia)

Mantis by Domino is now out in CDs at leading record stores nationwide under MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines). It is also available digitally via iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/ph/album/mantis/id587824809).

Beauty Handled by Experts within your reach Skin, Slimming, Laser and Spa

As clients become more informed of the latest technologies in the aesthetic and wellness industry, a good number of them are also turning more cautious and selective in getting their dose of cosmetic treatments.  True that you can get the usual facial or slimming treatment about anywhere, you may also experience side effects and longer downtime from such procedures most especially if you availed it fromuntrained individuals.  One of the main strengths of Skin Rejuve is providing its savvy pool of clients non-invasive aesthetic  treatments that make use of high end, cutting edge equipment and skin care products handled by trained personnel and is most definitely medically supervised.

Cryolipolysis ,  a non-invasive treatment that uses cold temperatures to reduce fat tissue on areas of the body with the densest amount of fat tissue, such as the abdomen, back, waist and thighs.  With Cryolipolysis, the cold  can breakdown areas of fat tissue by targeting adipocytes (fat cells).  Once the  adipocytes have shrunk or withered from the cold temperatures, they will eventually be metabolized by the lymphatic system.  This method affects, or “freezes”  the subcutaneous layers of fat tissue without disturbing the normal temperature of the epidermis.

BARBIE FORTEZA RELEASES SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM

Barbie Forteza, who is she?. I finally meet this young girl who giggles and smile in between as she answers questions asked by bloggers last May 25 during a blogcon held at the MCA Music Inc Head Office in Ortigas.

“I am so thankful to MCA Music for trusting me and giving me a chance to share my talents. I can’t wait to share it to my fans that support me all the way,” Barbie said.

Barbie Forteza is just fifteen years (15) old and yet she had realized her dreams already. She has her shares of drama and problem and yet I could not find it affecting her view in life. She is responsive and yet still values the privacy of her life. A out going kid but knows where to stay and when to stay at home. I’m saying because , as mom of performing artist as well; I know how hard it is to jungle everything and yet keep your sanity and individuality as well.  With all the things happening to her, I appreciate the fact that she still maintains the sweetness of a teenage girl and yes she do go to school. She maybe a home school student but to still squeeze in your education in between taping and recording is something that I appreciate in an artist.  This girl is ready for anything, and that’s even to hold a microphone

Hyaluron and Collagen Plus: Be Beautiful and Healthy the Whole Year Through

A product was recently introduced to us that would restore the vibrancy, strength and softness of our skin.

Fine Nutrition’s Hyaluron and Collagen Plus is an excellent beauty supplement to regain youthfulness. It’s easy to drink and got a fruity taste that goes with it. The good thing about Hyaluron and Collagen Plus is that it provides low molecules hyaluronic acid and collagen. It contains Hyaluronic acid that’s great for water retention and collagen which is considered a superior beauty ingredient.

We know that we need collagen, for it is the major protein component in the human body. Approximately, one quarter of the total amount of protein in the body is composed of collagen and our 70% of our skin is composed of collagen.

As we age, the amount of collagen decreases. And since collagen is the key to youthfulness and beauty we should at least take 5, 250 mg of collagen.

It is recommended that collagen should be taking orally. Take note, collagen should be in low weight form. Since collagen molecules are large, they do not readily reach the dermis and applying it to the skin will not replenish the dermis.

The best time to take our collagen would be during bedtime (before going to bed). The reason would be, because when we sleep, our body regenerates.

This product contains everything that we are looking for. From skin whitening, skin firms and lifting, skin moistening, reducing wrinkles, reducing age spots and strengthening of bones and joints.  It made from Japan.

The Newcomer to Your Routine

When it comes to looking good and maintaining our figure, we all have our routines: eat healthily, exercise regularly, cleanse, tone and moisturize. When it comes to hair care however, our commitment to routine varies.

Some of us prefer hair we can wash and wear. Others like to spend more time working their mane: blow drying, curling or straightening, gelling or waxing it into style. Others, still, have extra special requirements: a trip to the hair spa every now and then, a preferred styl

Skin Rejuve : Beauty & Wellness Within Your Reach

Beauty, however one puts it, is not entirely in the eyes of the beholder.  It is nurtured. It needs constant care by professional skin experts, employing the right dermatology procedures, but at prices patient can afford?

That is where Skin Rejuve Dermatology Clinic’s services differ from the rest!

Regarded one of Metro Manila’s top dermatology clinics, Skin Rejuve, which just opened a fourth branch at the Mezanine Floor of the West Ayala Tower Center in Gil Puyat Avenue, has been offering patients affordable non-invasive(surgery free) aesthetic treatments, from rejuvinating facials, anti-oxidant to whitening and anti-aging, laser, including the latest slimming treatment Cryolipolysis, which therapeutically uses cold temperature to medically reduce body fats on areas (abdomen, back, waist and thighs) with the densest amount of fat tissues.  

How To Get Your Man To Care For His Mane

We women take good care of our hair, since this is consider our crowning glory. We search way and means to make sure that we take our hair. This instinct of us with regards to our hair comes natural.

However, this intrinsic part of being a woman does not come so naturally to men. While men’s fashion and style have evolved over the centuries just as equally with women’s, for the most part, looking good seemingly remains a hobby of the vain or metrosexual. It’s not about stereo typifying, it’s about a fact: how many men will openly admit to poring over scalp and hair troubles?

This is where women can step in. Sure, there are magazines, websites and blogs for men to peruse when it comes to maintaining their mane. But perhaps a little nudge from their woman can be encouraging enough for them not to shy away from genuinely caring for their hair. Not to mention, it’s a great ego boost, too.

Lunula Nail Salon & Day Spa : For your Pampering Retreat

It’s not the usual hard massage that I regularly ask because I need not ask for what’s suitable for me. For that service, the charge is P 550.00

After that relaxing massage, I had my callus remove (P 115.00) and pedicure (P 230.00).

“Maganda silang maglinis at di man Lang nasugatan ang paa ko, napakalight ng mga kamay ng mga staff ”.  I had to schedule again the other services some other day for I feel rejuvenate already.

A new year, a new you with Stesso

Making resolutions are par for the course with each new year we ring in, and some January promises have become yearly mantras already: Lose the excess weight, trim our waistlines, take better care of our skin, live a generally healthier lifestyle.

For 2013, though, why not make the leap from making these resolutions a yearly cycle into making them a lifetime commitment?

Introducing Stesso, the Body Renewal Specialist that believes in committing to bring out their clients' best bodies and best faces. Building on their philosophy of partnership, Stesso works closely with clients, explaining to them every detail of the procedures needed to help them attain their goals and teaching them proper post-procedure practices — a relationship that is built on truth and trust.

Stesso's menu of services feature specially designed treatments that use state-of-the-art European technology, which cater to clients' specific goals but without painful invasive measures:

Inheriting hair loss -- and its solution

When considering the causes of an ailment, one of the first places to look is our genes. Could it possibly be something you’ve inherited?

With hair loss, this is certainly the case. In fact, it is the most common cause of hair loss, called Androgenetic Alopecia. It occurs in about 95 percent of males and 70 percent in females. Studies reveal that this also occurs in combination with other factors such as aging and hormonal changes. 

Symptoms of hereditary hair loss include a gradual thinning of the hair to complete hair loss on a certain part of the scalp, if not entire baldness. The hair loss pattern and rate is different among men and women, though they similarly occur in the 20s and 30s. Family history is the biggest indicator of when hereditary hair loss starts to take place, and at what rate.

The good news is that hereditary hair loss is treatable. And while invasive options such as hair lasers and transplants abound, nature itself has bestowed us with the remedy we need to deal with hair loss.

Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion is a an all-natural formula for treating hair loss. It is made of herbal ingredients such as moringa oleifera, panax ginseng, aloe vera, the essential oils of rosemary and peppermint, and virgin coconut oil. Collectively, the ingredients help improve blood circulation to the scalp and increase nutrients to hair follicles. Other beneficial side effects include returning and locking the hair’s natural luster, and preventing premature graying or whitening.

The Kabbalah : What is it?

People around the globe are waking up to realize that a whole universe exists beyond the physical. In fact the realm of the mystical is commonly referred to in daily conversation, in media and entertainment. The practical tools of Kabbalah are increasingly becoming pertinent for people in all walks of life: We are all seeking ways to see a bigger picture, make better decisions, and participate in a spiritual path that is inclusive of everyone.
