UNWANTED HAIR WANTED

Girls certainly wish unwanted hair all be gone. (So do I.) Friends tell me waxing is the best and most effective way of having your skin perfectly neat ,but it is the most painful among the traditional shaving and plucking methods. Months ago, I went to a waxing studio in Makati to try and have my underarm hair free. It was scary for a first timer to try it, of course. I got more anxious when they had me sign a waiver indicating that procedures might cause redness, pain and all. But then I still tried. They are using a chewing gum like wax in removing all the hair. The Wax Specialist had to make lots of pulls (repeatedly) to remove all of it. And it was quiet painful. Too bad for my first time waxing experience, whatever’s written on the waiver are correct. Some pores bleed, and redness came after.

Referred by my sister, I went to MOA to have a 2^nd attempt at Bare Skin Waxing Studio. I guess all waxing studios have their clients sign a waiver because they have it there also. The Receptionist asked me which Underarm Wax I prefer. One is Cold Wax which costs 140php and the other is Warm Wax which costs 280php. I chose the warm one. It is a high-quality Warm European Wax; less painful since its temperature will make my pores open and the procedure easier. She also explained to me that it would take 2-3 weeks for hair to re-grow after the session. She suggests attending 5 or more sessions with 3-4 weeks interval to attain the best result waxing could effect on skin. Underarm skin would be smoother, softer, and fairer in no time. Overall, the procedure went well, no bleeding, less redness. It only took her 2-3 pulls from each of my underarm, applied some moisturizer, and we’re all done.  Everything I basically need to know was also explained to me. I’d definitely come back for sessions.

What's for dinner?

Malling for me is not merely to shop (or window shop), to fill in off times, or to hang around with family and friends. A time to make a choice of what to eat is the best motivation I have whenever I am going out in a mall.

Fruits and vegetables are the firsts on my list since Momma usually serves more meat, less fruits and veggies at home. Well, I could also mention that I am slightly health-conscious and I am aiming to have a slimmer figure as well. (That must have been a secret!)

The first store comes on my mind is FRUIT MAGIC! It is their Pure Nectar that I am thirsty for. Fruit Magic’s Pure Nectar is 100% pure juice of a fruit of your choice or mixed with other fruits you like. Suggestions they have for mixed juices on their menu board are The Body Cleanser, Cold Defender, Olympian, Anti-Cancer, and Smooth as Silk.

What I am having for dinner tonight is Cold Defender. It is a combination of orange, pineapple, and carrot juices in a cup. I'm taking a 22oz cup of that ‘hale and hearty’ Cold Defender for 140php. Imagine how much your body will be able to digest all the nutrients it offers!

Orange

It is the excellent source of Vitamin C, and, in addition, it 
contains vitamin A, the B vitamins, amino acids, beta-carotene, pectin, potassium, folic acid, calcium, iodine, phosphorus, sodium, zinc, manganese, chlorine and iron. Oranges help in preventing a lot, from Constipation to Skin diseases, Heart diseases, and Cancer. Wow. That’s too much!

Pineapple
It contains Vitamin C, and Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6. This fruit wonder helps you in Digestion, Inflammation, and some Respiratory Conditions.

Carrots
They are rich in Beta Carotene which is a powerful antioxidant and helps in maintaining a healthy skin, eyes, and teeth; also keep one away from many diseases.

All those 3 are rich in fiber and antioxidants. Wow. 

That’s too much for a cup!

Not to put more elaboration on the taste…delicious as it seems.

The nourishment you can get from a drink (or a meal) is truly just around the corner! Visit a Fruit Magic stand and give your precious body a treat!
