Scents for your home and your body

When I was still single I always make it a habit to light incense candle in my room. I think home fragrances uplift your senses as well as your mood. Today, instead of only using it to my room I light it in the living area to release the aroma to the entire house. I really liked my home smelling nice and good because it relieves stress after a busy day at work. I think reed diffuser oil is much better to use in the house because its aromatic effect is much more concentrated. I also think its scent will last longer in the living area.

Aside from using aromatherapy products for my house I also like using it to my body. I use aromatic oil at night before going to sleep because it helps me sleep better. I also applied aromatherapy oil on my toddler at night because I observed that he sleeps well every time I massage his chest and back. I specially liked citrus scented oil and lavender scents. Aromatherapy products are mostly organic and I think organic body care is a greater option in choosing products for your skin because its ingredients are derived from nature. Speaking of organic products, you can always visit bath and body stores like sabon NYC in their store you can choose from different products that will suit your needs.

Problems with unwanted hair

One significant attribute we have in my women relatives in my mother side of the family is having noticeable hair in our upper lip and legs. Yes, my female relatives and I have a thin upper lip hair and when I was younger I was very conscious of it. When I got older I’ve tried using hair removal cream, hair bleaching cream and waxing. What I really liked in the three different products is waxing because my skin has no allergic reaction to it unlike the hair removal cream. I didn’t like the hair bleaching because the lightened hair catches more attention than the normal hair. I think the best thing to do with unwanted hair is laser hair removal because it provides permanent results. I’ve heard positive and negative comments of laser hair removal and it is still best to know all about the service provider first before making a decision. I’ve recently visited lakeviewderm.com and they offer laser hair removal in chicago. Their site is very informative on unwanted hair and its’ causes and they give further details about laser hair removal.

Under the sun


I could still remember way back when I and my female friend were still in college we used to avoid the sun’s rays because we don’t want to get darker skin. Things do change as we got older because we got more comfortable with our skin. Today my female friend is working in Dubai and she told me that other nationalities like the color of our skin. Filipinas has natural tan skin and other nationalities do like our skin because of the texture and the color. Today like my friend I’m also comfortable with my skin but I still use moisturizers with SPF for sun protection and to delay ageing because I’m not getting any younger.

Lap Band Surgery

Lap Band Surgery also known as Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band procedure has become an option for those who want to lose weight. The procedure involves implanting an inflatable silicone band into the patient's abdomen. Lap Band Surgery induces weight loss by reducing the capacity of the stomach, which restricts the amount of food that can be consumed. Lap Band Surgery has become an option for people who have been fat since childhood and exercise and dieting is ineffective to them. For more information about Lap Band Surgery you can visit their site 1800GETSLIM.

I have never experienced being fat because all my life I have been blessed with a slim figure and even after I’ve given birth to my two children I still have the same figure. I still have the same clothes size and when people look at me they could never guess that I have been pregnant twice. I never experienced the pain of dieting or even the exercising regimen that others have. I can see people who are naturally heavy and I could see them dieting and I think it’s hard to control the urge to eat. I think it is not fair that others need to suffer just to have the size that they want. Anyway it’s a common fact that being slim and fit could be healthy and far from the common health problems that obese people could experience. Being chubby and healthy is nice especially if you are confident with your body. It is a choice for every individual to look and feel whatever they want but being healthy is still the wiser thing to be.

Latest on Laser Beauty treatments

I’ve heard so many women who have tried laser beauty treatments. There are positive ones and negative ones but the best thing that anyone should do is to visit their doctor first before undergoing any medical treatment. A smart woman should at all times ask for the license of the doctor that will perform this kind of treatment. At all times we must bear in mind that this profession is based on real testimony and it should be by referral.

Laser beauty treatments are used in hair removal, birthmark removal, skin pigmentation, stretch mark removal and tattoo removal. After I gave birth to my second child I have this unsightly stretch mark on my belly. I showed it to my husband and ask him what he thinks of it and well, he just told me that it’s just okay. I’ve never actually ask anyone if they have opted for laser treatment but anyway it is still an option.

Laser skin resurfacing helps to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines on the face as well as acne scars but is not recommend on dark skin because the skin that resurfaces has a different color tone and can be highly evident on dark skin. As we grow older moisturizers can no longer give us the desired effects that we want for our skin but it is still an option if we want to do something about it or if we choose to age gracefully. Laser vein treatments help reduce the appearance of varicose veins and spider veins. I have spider veins and varicose veins on my legs and it has gotten worse when I was pregnant last year but it has improved after I gave birth to my baby. Anyway it could also be an option for worse cases because aside it’s unsightly appearance it can cause swelling and pain.
