Boost your energy, get healthier body and be happier!

How?

Just one tiny adjustment in your life. Workout! Don't fret at that word yet coz you don't need a gym to do this. It will only take 10 mins with no equipment.

Right after you wake up, jump out of the bed and give your body a nice stretch. Put your arms together above your head and stretch to the left and stretch to the right for few times, making sure each sides ate equally stretched. Take your interlocked fingers to the front, stretch your back and put your arms up to your head again. Repeat few times. Remember to breath.  Inhale to start, exhale when you stretch.  Stretch your legs as well few times.  After staying rigid all night, your body need a good stretch.

Now, stand up right and get ready for a quick good morning workout!

30 jumping jacks
20 squats
10 burpees
10 pushups
20 regular crunches
1 minute plank

Give yourself a 30 sec rest in between each exercises. Repeat the whole set whenever you are ready.

That simple. BELIEVE ME, you will feel more refreshed and energetic afterward.  In longer run, you can be healthier. Your body will thank you too.Now, off you go to the shower.  Sing some happy song.  Have a good breakfast after that. A positive start can make a good day!

Oh ya, another tip for healthy body. Drink a glass (or two) water right after you wake up (before the workout) to jumpstart your metabolism.

Healthier body, happier you. Simple as that!

❤Good luck!

The goodness of Apple Cider Vinegar!

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a well known health enhancing vinegar.  I am crazy about au natural remedy for health and ACV is one of the natural stuffs i used and absolutely love.  From vinaigrette in salads, healthier substitute for white artificial vinegar in cooking, detox water, facial toner, on the spot treatment for pimples and the list goes on.

Believe it or not, ACV can help to lose some extra pounds just by drinking it once daily.  Just mix 2 tablespoon of ACV into a glass of cold water or fruit juices (if you can't stand the smell or taste) and drink it before breakfast to get rid of the toxins in your body and enhance your metabolism rate.  It can also help in digesting food.  I am one of the rare species that can handle the ACV detox water without complaining about the smell or taste and it tasted good for me actually.  However, please drink this with straw.  It is rather acidic for your teeth and enamels.

I always use ACV as on the spot treatment for pimples.  It can help by shrinking the pimples and lighten up the redness.  Just dab the ACV with cotton buds on the pimples and leave it overnight.  The next morning, you can see the difference. 

Have an unwanted mole? You can get rid of it with ACV too! Bandage a small cut of cotton soaked with acv on the mole and leave it overnight but make sure to apply Vaseline on the skin around the mole or it can burn your skin and leave a white spot.  I tried it with a raised facial mole (i hate my moles!). I am not patient enough to do it for a week straight so the mole did not really gone. Most of it peeled off and i am left with a faint flat mole instead. I am quite satisfied though coz i didn't do it religiously for a week but it still gave me a wonderful result. 

For other purposes, i am seriously getting lazy to type it here (and partly because i have not tried it yet).  However, there is a lot of videos as well as beauty blogs that elaborate in details about the multipurpose of ACV.

Thanks for reading my lazy blog post though. If you are going to try any of the tips, good luck!

Disclamer: The 3 tips i wrote is based on my experience.  Remember, everyone is different.

Body Shop Peppermint Smoothing Pumice Foot Scrub

So my first post after long hiatus is about a fantastic foot scrub from Bodyshop. It's a peppermint oil infused pumice volcanic rock salt foot scrub that leaves your sore and tired feet refreshed and smoother. 

I got this scrub at a bargain price RM10.50 (SALE SEASON! 70% OFF) at KLIA2 branch. Normal price is RM39.90.

After a long day on my feet, i decided to give the scrub a try.

Texture: i expected it to be rough but at the first touch, it felt rather velvety.  When scrubbing, the rock salt does feel a little bit rough like it should be. It also lathered a little that the salt glided smoothly. Make sense? No? Yes? Well i hope you do.  It's not like your typical rough sea salt scrub that you can feel the salt everywhere when you scrub. It's more like creamy soft soap with lots of volcanic rock salt beads that exfoliates. Yup volcanic rock salt.  Cool huh?

Scent: Peppermint. Yum. My first reaction when i scooped the scrub was "it smells like peppermint icecream. Yum!" I am a crazy peppermint ice cream lover. Topped with dark chocolate ice cream and chocolate chip. Yummmmm.... ok, back to the point. So it smells like peppermint. It smells fresh. It is also cooling because this scrub is not only scented with peppermint, it is INFUSED with peppermint oil.  I can assure you, your tired feet after long day working will appreciate this cooling minty refreshing peppermint infused foot scrub. Not only you got the benefit of scrub, your feet will also feel like they had been massaged.

Verdict: The pumice volcanic rock salt really does the job. It exfoliates and takes off the flaky dull dead skin and leaves your feet smoother and refreshed.  Love love love.  I will definitely buy this again even at normal price.

Long hiatus
