Strip it: Say Bye Bye To Unwanted Hair

Since I stepped into my puberty years many overwhelming changes started sprouting nonstop and one of these is the emergence of unwanted body hair (especially on armpits! ewwwww! ). Although our body hair serves a purpose as protection still women now a days and even women of ancient Egypt find it unfeminine. I count myself as one of the ladies seeking for ways and means to keep that nightmare away.

I finally gave up on shaving my underarms because of how terrible it makes me itch after a day or two and even leaves my UA dark and filled with cuts. ( I know! I know! I tortured my armpits well enough. No need to rub it in :D) I tried waxing my UA with a product I bought at the beauty section but I forgot the brand maybe because of how bogus the product was. I wasted my money plus not a single hair was pulled out from my long tortured UA! So out of desperation I searched for products online that are available locally and can help me with my dilemma then like an answered prayer I came across Strip it! Hair Removal Sugaring Kit in a social forum. I was really in doubt buying the so called "Strip It!" because of my bad experience on my previous waxing kit but I was well convinced with all the raves about this product so I might as well give it a shot  even if it will cost me a bit much since I have to purchase it on line and pay for the shipping fee.

When the miraculous day arrived I was so excited to try my Stip It! Hair Removal Sugaring Kit. I received it in a dainty pink paper bag. The kit includes a 350 grams sugar wax in a sealed pink tub, 2 pieces spatula which is actually a tongue depressor or popsicle stick and 2 packs of cloth or more like a rough piece of thick paper and of course a printout manual. When I opened the tub of wax I was impressed on how good and yummy it smells. It's tempting me to grab a slice of bread and spread the wax on it :D.

Here is how the entire strip it kit looks like. I love how my HG (Holy Grail) wax comes in a neat pink tub. I am planning to turn it into a jewellery kit after consuming all the wax.

On closer look. The wax is really sticky and thick just enough to strip all the unwanted hair away with out much pain. :)

Testing it on my right under arm :) Sorry I don't have the guts to show my UA in public. HAHA! See all the hair stripped out :) IT REALLY IS EFFECTIVE!

I submerged it in a tub of water and after a few minutes ~ viola! the wax dissolves in water!

Finally My Quest for removal of unwanted hair is over. It's time to take all of my piled dusty sleeveless outfits out of the dresser and wear them in pure confidence. I am so happy I came across Strip It Hair Removal Waxing Kit. No more bloody shaving!  This baby is a SURE  purchase every time I ran out of it :)

Raves:

- 100% Effective

- Reasonable Price :) at Php. 290.00 big tub that can last up to 10-12 months

- Tolerable pain upon waxing

- Skin feel soft and smooth on continuous use

- With Calamansi extract for added whitening effect

- Hair growth takes up to 1-2 weeks (depends from person to person)

- Water Soluble! No need to worry about stains due to accidental spill

Rants:

- I just don't like the spatula. They should at least provide a plastic one not a tongue depressor.

- hoping it is available soon in our province so I don t have to spend for the shipping fee.

How about you pretty lady? Have you solved your dilemma  on unwanted body hair? What is your secret? Tell me about it please :)

XoXo,

Athena Milk: Nothing Beats My Beautrition Habit

When we were introduced into this beautiful world when Mama Dearest gave birth to us milk was the first nourishment received by our digestive tract but as we age we also outgrew different kinds of milk suited from newborn to adult. Thus, it is important to choose the right milk that will provide the yummy nutrients we need.

Being a woman of the present generation is a bit tiring due to stead fast changes but this wont stop us from being the best that we can with the help of Athena Milk. It claims that it is the only milk with Beautrition. It is a Milk specially-formulated for Women, because it is high in calcium for great posture, low in fat to maintain a slim body, and a good source of anti-oxidants (Vitamins A, E and Zinc) for beautiful skin. 

Specialty:

• High calcium essential for optimum bone health. It is also a source of vitamins D and K, magnesium and phosphorus – nutrients to help maintain strong bones.

• Low in fat so you can enjoy this beverage without the risk of high caloric intake.

• Source of anti-oxidants such as vitamins A and E and zinc to help maintain healthy skin and help promote optimum immune function.

SOURCE: UNILAB

I am a milk lover so I find this beverage a delicious treat. I tried the vanilla flavor and I immediately fell in love with its taste. You have to mix it well though to dissolve the milk powder in your mug as it easily forms into a clump when mixed with water. Definitely I'm sticking with my Athena habit because of how it takes good care of my over all health and keeps my skin radiant and glowing. With just a glass of Athena after I burn my midnight candle I still look as if I had a satisfied beauty sleep making me feel pretty and confident to face the challenges the day has to offer.

Start your Athena Habit now to FEEL and SEE the DIFFERENCE! <3

Share with me your beautrition habit coz I'd love to hear about it :)

Fun Under The Sun: Diamond Sunblock Gel

Being a proud resident in a tropical country sun exposure is a common experience to its citizens but we shouldn't let the heat of the sun spoil the fun right? :) Finally a sunblock gel packed with a heaping amount of SPF to hinder premature aging from too much sun exposure is now available! Introducing one of my beauty babies ~~Diamond Sunblock Gel SPF 40! The sister product of the sought after Shulammite Carrot Soap and Diamond Orange Peel & L Glutathione Soap.

I found out that sun exposure without righteous protection will eventually take its wrath as we grow older so I decided to take a sip at the fountain of youth by getting myself a worthy sunblock gel for my face and neck. Accidentally, I came across this product when I was searching for some stuff online. Their are no good reviews about this yet so I used it at my own expense with full courage that it wont cause me breakouts and it didn't!. I love how refreshing it feels on my skin after applying all over my face and neck. I don't need a very generous amount to cover the areas, only about a penny size and I am good to go.

When my purchase finally arrived at our doorsteps I found out that the sunblock gel comes with a orange box. On the back portion of the box it says that Diamond Sunblock Gel is a specially formulated sunblock that is light on the skin but heavy on protection. It prevents skin darkening, dryness, wrinkles, and premature aging caused by harmful UV rays. Its unique gel formulation is cool on the skin and has no greasy after-feel. Maintain healthy, fair skin.

~The packaging is a cute white tub with a twistable cap for gel dispense. Net Wt. of 20 g.

~You only need a pea size for full coverage. That's a plus factor for me!

~Dries quickly for a NO FUSS, NO SHINE, JUST PURE PROTECTION look.

RAVES:
- light and non greasy; no lagkit feel
- dries quickly
- the smell is mild and wont bother sensitive noses
- comes in a convenient tube, just the right size to fit  in your kikay kits.
- packed with SPF 40.
- wont cause  unwanted zits or breakouts
- pea size sunblock gel for a full coverage

RANTS:
- pricey if you're on a tight budget. 1 tub cost Php 200.00.

FINAL VERDICT: 

YES! YES! YES! THIS IS A MUST TRY AND A MUST BUY! :) A staple baby on my kikay kit.

Cheers to Health: Nutri 21 Juice

I am definitely not an avid  fan of veggies and fruits so I was looking for "something" to compensate with my dilemma on proper nutrition. When Pops came home from a seminar somewhere in Manila he unpacked several  small white sachets from his luggage which caught my attention. The humble pack calls itself Nutri 21 Juice, a 21 in 1 fruits and herbs powder mix.

Its active ingredients are Acai Berry, Pineapple, Goji, Moringa Oleifera, Barley, Wheat Grass, Coconut Water, Aloe Vera, Mangosteen, Guava, Spirulina, Carrots, Apple, Guyabano, Tomato, Banana, Dalandan, Calamansi, Mango, Grape Seed, Strawberry. (wew! too many ingredients equals effort on typing :D teehee!)

Here is the product detail from Nutribiz International,  Inc., the maker of Nutri 21 Juice http://www.nutribizph.com/Prod1.htm

What first entered my mind after reading all the ingredients was "Yuck this stuff prolly taste like crap." But some force of nature made me pull out glass of cold water and make a concoction to put to a test. I was hell wrong cause the powder mix definitely taste great. It's not overly acidic like most powdered juices with citrus fruits in it and not too sweet to invite a sore throat plus its 100% natural and healthy. Imagine you get 21 benefits and goodness from 21 natural fruits and herbs in just a glass of this powder mix!  Well that is something a girl on the go needs.:)

I've been sipping on this yum yum  juice for a week already. It quenches my insatiable thirst  for health and wellness and so far I'm satisfied with its benefits. I usually do not have regular bowel elimination but with this baby I always feel light since it makes me go once everyday.

RAVES:

-tasty; not too sweet nor acidic
-100% natural
-21 in 1. so you get more health benefits in just 1 sachet
-easy to open with its small tear on the side
-Proudly Philippine Made <3
-World Class Quality
-1 box contains 10 pieces

RANTS:

-1 box cost 300-400 pesos so 1 sachet cost roughly around 30-40 pesos (a bit pricey)
-manufacturer did not indicate the weight of product per sachet (I am not sure if it is indicated in the box since I had mine without the box)
-no nutritional facts indicated


FINAL VERDICT: YES! YES! YES! I recommend this Nutritious Powder mix :)
