Product Review: Slimming and Firming Cream

Image
Hi! Last year I bought this Slimming and Firming and breast cream (strange combi I thought at first but it is meant to firm saggy skin, so that would be the reason). At first I tried it on my main frustration which is my belly. But then I bought the Ab Gymnic belt exerciser and you can't judge if a product is working if you are testing two at the same time! So I use the belt on my belly instead, and I started using the cream on my hips. Even if you are exercising, when you are older your body starts to sag, so that even if you are the same weight you were 10 years before, your middle may have expanded. Just a fact of life. So I noticed that although I am pretty slim the little "wings" at the top of my legs where it goes over to my backside had started developing again. Many years ago, after my first pregnancy, I used my own Slimming and Firming cream (with essential oils and herbal extracts) and had a really fine result, so I decided to give it a try again with ...

Healthy nutrition: what's the best foods for weight loss

Hi! Today I had a colleague who asked me how I manage to stay so thin. It is not the first time I have had this question and I thought it might be interesting to take it up here. Obviously, staying at the same weight is a matter of balance. I probably actually go up and down a little in weight like everyone else, but I do not realize it. I have had times when I was a few kilos up or down from my current weight which is somewhere around 65 kg. At my 1.80 m this is just fine. I do not want to lose weight. I would like to add muscle. I am not the least concerned about my weight, factually. I am interested in my body fat content, not my weight in kilos. >(or lbs).  But isn't it ironic? When I put on weight it goes on to my "jellybelly" and my hips. When I lose weight (last year I was very stressed and got down to 62 kg which is too little for me) I lose it from my face and my arms and legs, and the stubborn fat on my belly and hips stays. Sigh. So now everyone ...

Gift ideas for Christmas

This blog is about health & fitness. Yesterday I wrote about gift ideas for the fitness-interested, which is undoubtedly one of the hottest trends today.  This post is about those who are maybe not so much into fitness, but who are interested in being more healthy/green/eco-conscious.  I just love top 10-lists. So here are my ideas and suggestions for some "green" presents both for him and for her. As in the other list, I have made all the presents clickable so that you could buy these items straight online, and I have done my best to select online stores with good pricing and if possible, FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE so you don't have to worry where you are buying from. This may seem trivial to you guys from the US but if you live in Europe like I do, shipping is a major thing since it may cost more than the actual product.   Happy shopping! 1. Plant holder bags 2. Spa hot stones for massage 3. Massage oil 4. Essential oil sampler kit 5. A new watch 6...
