Eyeful tips

Eye creams should be a much lighter formula than a moisturiser because it is designed to protect the thin delicate skin of your eyes. Did you know that your skin around your eyes is just 0.05mm thin? It can be damaged by thick application of creams/make up in that area and you must take off your eye make up carefully otherwise you can damage the skin, causing the skin to age quicker.

Using eye creams can help diminish dark circles, puffy eyes, wrinkles and fine lines. They are usually one of the first signs of ageing so ensuring your skins free from damage is very important.
I have always believed that your eyes are the windows to your soul.
Everyone develops fine lines/wrinkles due to various reasons as well as your genetics, there is hope that you can prevent the fine lines and wrinkles. I use the Galvanic Spa to prevent my fine lines and creating an uplift to my face to give me that youthful look. Click here for my review of the Galvanic .

You can buy eye creams with SPF and eye creams specifically for the night time, I must admit, it isn't easy but they are out there but people need to understand eye cream is for any age!
I started using eye cream since I was about 21, I didn't understand eye creams and whenever someone at the counter mentioned about eye creams, I just found it to be boring. One day I realised how sensitive the eye area is as well as the face and the rest of the body! I was always rubbing my eyes, especially when it comes to taking make up off - I was so rough with my eyes!
I didn't want to wait until I hit my 30's to start using eye cream because I heavily believe that prevention is better than cure. Some people go for botox as a rescue for a quick fix but then they don't realise they have to keep going back to have it re-done but what about if it goes wrong? What can you do to fix it? NOTHING.

I use eye cream with at least SPF 15 around the eyes in the day time and an eye serum at night as the eyes can look puffy in the morning if I use a thicker consistency cream before bed.

Did you know that if you use too much cream around the eye area it can cause it to look thick and then the lines will appear sooner and deeper? I use my ring fingers to lightly dab small amount of product to under my eyes. Creating a few little dots underneath then tapping it into the skin gently allows the blood to circulate around the sensitive eye area keeping it smooth.

Remember, don't let your eyes reveal your age!

Sea Salt Caramel Macaron

 

I love cooking, like really really do!! I also love macarons and although it has taken me about 100 attempts this year, I have never once given up on making them perfectly , or as perfectly as I could!! Sometimes they turn out ok, sometimes they are a completely disaster (in my eyes) but sometimes they taste perfectly (as stated by my friends who try them).

So tonight, I decided to bake sea salt caramel flavoured macarons because it is one of my all time favourite flavours when it comes to a treat. Just love the sticky texture with a hint of salt on the tip of my tongue, the infusion is just so perfect - I love it!!

 

Ok, so my TR90 weight management plan kind of went abit off the side (which I will get back on track tomorrow) but I mainly baked these for my colleagues at work tomorrow night for when it turns 2014 at midnight. I only eat macarons as a treat because they are so delicate and difficult to bake. 

What will you be doing on New Years Eve when it turns 2014?

I am sharing my love with people who I care about at work!

Lemons & limes for this winter!

Christmas is over , New Year's Day is just around the corner, it's cold here in Englad and still no sign of the snow? Quite strange really but we have had gale force winds and some places in the south have been flooded! 

Quite a lot of people around me have had the sniffles, colds & flu are still spreading. The one main purchase I made yesterday was this beautiful bag of lemons and limes. Perfect to add to hot water with honey and a tea bag is optional. They are versatile all year round for me, I use them to kill bacteria in my fridge simply by cutting them in half and just let them sit in the fridge for a few days, or add them to my cooking. 

If you want to boost your immune system then why don't you try a cup of lemon water every morning or perhaps if you fancy a hot drink then try hot honey lemon tea to start your day?

Eyes

Ever woken up to puffy or tired looking eyes and having enough sleep the night before?

The skin around the eyes is very delicate as it's very thin and sensitive, your eyes can tell people how tired your body is or if you have allergies, increased salt intake, not enough sleep or crying. 

The main reason why I had this result in my eyes would probably from the meal I had the previous day...... I had a Christmas dinner from work (Thank You NHS for the free meal) and although even choosing the healthier option, lean meat and vegetables, there was still a lot of salt in that meal. This was my result due to mainly water retention, lack of sleep from the previous nights, and dealing with stress. Even after having 8-9 hours sleep! I couldn't believe for the whole entire day I had to walk around with these tired looking puffy eyes.

night on 14-12-13 after a face galvanic treatment

I didn't feel tired but I did do 3 x 12.5 hour shifts at the hospital and I was travelling up to Liverpool for lunch but I did ensure I had enough sleep the night before, which was 8-9 hours in total.

In those photos above I had make up on, just my tinted moisturiser, eyeshadow and mascara. I didn't want to over-do the face with too much make up on as it would make me look even more 'tired' when I didn't feel like I was.

So when I got home, I used my face galvanic machine to draw out the excess fluid and draw out the toxins from my face and also draining the facial lymph nodes.

On the right is my face make up free after a facial galvanic treatment. My eyes are less puffy and skin is now completely flawless.
Not only does the facial galvanic give you flawless skin, it also draws out excess fluid and making sure your skin is smooth which is why this is my holy grail beauty accessory!

Day 36 of the TR90 progress

16 12 13
Black leather pairings outfit

Today is day 36 of the 90 day challenge.
TR90 stands for 'Total Transformation in 90 days' and am just over 1/3rd of the way!!
I am very excited to show you guys my results at the end of the program, so far I have lost some old fat from my body.

saggy.... not a good look LOL

These use to be tight on my bum area

To start with, I didn't have what people around me would say ' much to lose' but I wanted to get rid of the old fat that's always been lingering on my body. The areas I wanted to focus on mainly would be near my arm pits by the breasts and behind there, also my stomach. They were the most annoying parts for me as they tend to show up when I wear tighter clothes or it stops me from wearing less clothes in the summer when it's hot.
From my previous posts, I have complained about the fact that I have a messed up body clock doe to shift changes from my jobs and juggling eating times between shifts and travelling and sleeping I find very difficult. I have managed to set a regime to spend quality time with me and my food.
My food choices have definitely changed, I haven't eaten crisps for about 11 weeks now which is great for me as I was eating 2-4 packets a day (or more), the vending machine at work was my best friend especially of a night shift. I have stopped eating the chocolates, just dark chocolate every now and then as a treat!
I love vegetables, and I do still crave for a bowl of them, I have been eating a lot more proteins including chicken breast and tofu more often.

As a result, here is me in my #ootd (outfit of the day), the leather-like leggings use to be tight but they are loose from the waist and sags on my bum! As a result, I am going to throw these out as they don't fit me anymore! My old leggings have been falling off me too and I have noticed a few of my fitted tops have become slightly loose but show my more defined figure.
I am totally loving this!!! I can't wait for a totally new wardrobe!!

Whilst everyone is getting fat at Xmas, am still working on managing my weight....

2 weeks of intensive treatment looks like this on my hips

Ok, just to clarify, this is what my current hips look like and I have NOT touched it for over 5 weeks now. I solely did this on purpose to demonstrate how powerful ageLOC is with the use of the body galvanic. 

AgeLOC is very exclusive as it gets right down to the source of the 'problems' by identifying the youth gene clusters, and changing the expression of it. It's not treatment or creams layering on your skin and you hoping for a miracle, I have the results to show what it did to me.

I bought the body galvanic as a treat to myself for my birthday this year and I initially used it for my legs. After a 12 and half hour shift of hardly sitting down, running around like a mad-women, it helps to relax my legs and draw out the swelling.

You can use the body galvanic anywhere on the body from shoulder down to the feet, it's not recommended to use anywhere upwards as the face galvanic works on the head and neck. The body galvanic works 10 times deep into the skin tissues therefore very effective for those with problems like cellulite, stretch marks, 'love handles' , bingo wings, varicose veins. 

The device has only one button, you just switch it on and off, it's very simple to use. 
It works 5 minutes at a time and once the 5 minutes is up, it will beep to tell you it's done. You can continue for a further 5 minutes or switch it off. There is no confusion in more than 1 button, it didn't even confuse me lol!

To activate the machine you must apply the ageLOC body shaping gel to the area, as this is your treatment to deep into the skin. By using your body currents, the machine helps to activate the treatment into the skin and you just massage the machine lightly over the problematic area. Please note, this is a pain-free treatment, I did intially expect some sort of pain but it's very simple to use. 
After 5-10 minutes of treatment, you apply the ageLOC dermatic effects cream to the area, it helps to make the skin feel and look smoother, whilst increasong cellular turnover, which is necessary for returning skin to its natural radiant texture.

Okay, this is what you're all waiting for and here it is.....

30 minutes treatment in total over a period of 2 weeks

In just 2 weeks I used it 6 times, 5 minutes each on my right hip.  This is to compare results to the left hip that hasn't been body galvanic'ed. As you can see, the results are amazing, and that was  over 7 weeks ago, I show people my hips to prove how powerful ageLOC is and how effective it is. I even went on holiday and sunbathed like this, so that is why there is a bikini tan line under my over-hang.  My hips don't lie , clearly they didnt !

For every individual it is different due to your skin texture, ageing process and your genes but an intense 8 week treatment there will be results you could never imagine. 


If you have any further questions, feel free to let me know! 


ageLOC products can be bought in 53 countries world wide, if you're interested to buy, send me an email and I can register you up straight away!

Day 20 of the TR90

Today I am on day 20 of the 90 day challenge I set myself up for, together combining with healthier eating plans, supplements and working on the body engine (AKA metabolism).
As promised, I will complete a diary entry, which I have a book for that I use to jot down what I eat, and whether I have hunger or cravings for it, and also where I eat it. This allows me to keep track of how I feel during a day of work as time goes on.

At first, I struggled with the eating because on some days I would eat very little and just snack on high energy foods in between what I do, or some days I would eat big portions of meals, 3-6 times a day. Usually every 2-3 hours I get really hungry, and when I say hungry, I mean like my stomach rumbles for feeding. I do tend to get abit moody when I am hungry as I am demanding for food and do have dizzy spells when I don't eat within a few hours. I just need food all the time basically, my handbags always have emergency food and I am always cooking and eating hehe.....

Following the TR90 food plan is tricky at the start as you have to cut out certain foods and replace it with protein. I cut out crisps over 3 months ago as I was eating 3+ packets per day!! I love crisps, I would happily sit there and eat 3 packets in one sitting! The last time I ate crisps, I ate 28 packets of Hula Hoops in 4 days! I said to myself ' I have got to stop ' and I did! I feel better for it and as soon as I started the TR90 program, I knew I would have more of a challenge as my favourite foods would be constantly on my mind.

I have no self control when it comes to eating, I don't know when to stop and I dont know if I am hungry unless my stomach growls at me, and sometimes when my stomach does growl, I dont feel like eating so I dont. The TR90 helps to work on the mindset, perfect for me as that's where one of my main problems are!! I keep a track record of my cravings and hunger and I can see now my cravings are less and I know when to stop eating now. Every meal is measured in portions simply by using your hands.

I have put on 4kg but my body is more defined and I can feel my stomach is not as flabby as before which I am loving, I am not an exercise type of person as I know during the day/night when I work, I am constantly running about and up on my feet. However, I have started spending atleast 4 whole minutes on 100 reps atleast per day to help me lose the fat quicker!
 I am continuing to be constantly up on my feet and using weights to tone up my arms, am not hungry as often anymore but I do have cravings for vegetables even more than usual, which isn't a bad thing I suppose!

Sweet potato seeded salmon salad with a dollop of light cream cheese

Here is an example of one of my meals this week......




I have bought sweet potatoes before but now I eat it a few times a week as part of my non meat protein options. Sweet potatoes are high in anti-oxidant beta carotene which may help slow the ageing process and reducing the risk of some cancers. I really enjoy eating them now!

Ever suffered with allergy reaction from unknown lotions?

 I have recently suffered an allergy reaction to a body lotion which kind of suprised me because the product was meant to be soothing for the skin but having very sensitive skin, can still have reactions.

During the colder seasons my skin all over my body begins to show reactions a lot more than warmer seasons. I use to have severe eczema, I was at the doctors every 2 weeks getting creams, dermatologist reviews and it really did have a major effect on my confidence. 

I don't have eczema anymore as I have got right down to the source of the problems but I do have rosacea on my face and it does happen on my thighs, stomach and arms even when I am wearing long layers to cover up.  It's so painful to touch especially when it comes to washing my face or shaving my legs , the skin feels like it's on fire and it's unbearable at times!

Having a skin reaction makes me feel so unhappy because it hurts and looks horrible! totally knocks my confidence.

Due to the environment in work in, I have to washed my hands at least 50 times a day with the foamy soap and water, I am not a fan of using soap nor the strong alcohol gel but I did cover up the affected area with a sterile dressing then let it breath at night when I sleep.

the start - redness and sore

I work as a nurse most times and due to infection control, we have to use soap and water after every patient contact, therefore I have to be very careful of what lotions I use on my skin and making sure it is looked after the best as it can be.

However, I used a lotion and just after a few times this was what happened...... 

 

day 2

This was what I used on my hands, after about 3 uses my skin began to hurt, the skin felt so tight and itchy and it stung so badly, then the bumps showed up.

day 2 - 3

I had the bumps on my hand for about 6 days before it actually calmed down. I used my Hyaluronic acid spray to calm down the redness, perennial to deeply moisturise it and also enhancer to stop it from spreading. They are the main treatments I use when it comes to any skin problems I have. 

After 2-4 days it calmed down to this. It's not as visible as before and the bumps are still there but the redness has definitely calmed down and it's not itchy anymore. 

I used 3 products to help the hand calm and resolve. They are all from Nu Skin ,

Moisture Mist Spray, Perennial moisturiser and Enhancer Gel

• I used the moisture mist spray to help lock in moisture as my skin felt so sore and tight, whenever the skin has a reaction it loses its hydration levels and causes the tightness feeling then show signs of a reaction. I also use this to set my make up and lock in moisture before I sleep by spritzing 2 spritz before bed. 
• using the Perennial moisturiser it helps the skin to reinforce the skin's natural defence mechanisms protecting against dry air, cold climate and wind. Fragrance-free. Safe and gentle for all skin types, including sensitive like mine. This is great for all over the body all year round. 
• the Enhancer has a cooling sensation when it's applied to the skin. The clear gel melts onto the skin absorbing deep into the epidermis, great for any soreness or burns, also for pre-post shaving for men!

day 6

after 7-9 days

If you suffer with skin problems such as rosacae, or eczema with sensitive skin type then you may want to consider this as an option. 

You can only buy Nu Skin products from a distributor and I am one of them. Send me an email with your skin problems and I will get back to you with recommendations. 

 The photos are all my hand, not editted.

2 weeks of holiday!!

Woohoo !! From my main job as a nurse, I have 2 weeks of leave starting from today! I didn't manage to get any time off at the start of the year therefore my holidays are at the end of the year. I don't know what I prefer really as I feel that I missed out on opportunities with friends to go abroad at the beginning of year year and summer time, however, I have had opportunities to go to Tunisia, Salt Lake City and Barcelona this year already. 

I was off working on the weekend which meant my holidays would feel longer and I could do whatever I wanted without any curfews, so I went to a job out far away from my current residence over to Norfolk! I had a modelling job out there as a 3D model and the shoot was so amazing. I have never been photographed with over 100 professional cameras at a time and I enjoyed every single minute of it!

I enjoy travelling and fortunately I get to travel to many places with my part time job as a model. Meeting new people, site seeing, creating images for people , the job on itself is so rewarding!

Happy happy holidays to me! 

After my shoot I also went to see Winter Wonderland in London, Hyde Park! With over 200 festive stalls, lots of bars as food stalls, rides and fun fair, this was an event I always wanted to go!! 

It's a yearly event which opens the end of November and finishes at the beginning of January each year, you got to go when it's on otherwise You will miss all the fun!

Ok the photographs aren't as professional looking as it should be BUT it's so much better in real life! The smell of the cold air, candy floss, food, excitement from everyone around just gives you a buzz!! I really did have so much fun there!! 

grilled salmon

It was busy, it can get quite packed but that's the whole point of it, joining in a happy atmosphere with lots of fun things to do! 

If you really want to go then I would say just go! Otherwise you won't ever go! That was me the last 3-4 years! LOL!

Day 4 of the TR90

Right now it's 03:05am, and am wide awake as am doing night shifts at the hospital this week - I hate reversing my body clock.
I don't get use to it although everyone seems to think I do and no, I don't enjoy it simply because my mind can't stay active all the time, therefore I take supplements to build up my immune system! Without them, I would be a wreck lol!!

So I have completed 3 full days of the TR90, don't know if my body has lost any fat yet as I have found out tonight my eating plan was kind of wrong lol. As am doing night shifts this week, I wake up and eat proteins with the carbs because I don't eat for about 12 hours before I actually wake up for the shift. I become hungry and need the energy to keep me going as it would be at least about 8 hours before I can eat again so I eat some carbohydrates to keep my energy levels going! I realised I should be eating the carbohydrates in my last meal before bed as the body starves whilst I sleep. This makes sense to me but at the same time it doesn't.
Whenever I do night shifts, I sleep 6 hours maximum, broken sleep so I don't actually get the right number of hours sleep that I need. My body is awake for 15-18 hours per day and hardly have time to rest. Due to the nature of my job, it's not easy to just have a rest and sitting down to eat can be a chore.

I work as a nurse full time and my shifts are 12.5 hours at a time at least so I am up on my feet majority of the time dealing with high levels of stress but I am happy all of the time. Infact, its rare for me to be unhappy unless I really really am lol!

I have kept my TR90 diary, writing down my moods, the foods I eat and which supplements I Have taken for the day. I take my multi vitamins which help to boost my immune system and look after my heart as well as my eyes and brain function which is vital for what I do.
So far, I have been craving and been constantly hungry during my night shifts. It has been so cold lately therefore my body is trying to adjust to the colder temperatures and the stress of the job is higher!  have sat down to snack and eat my food which help to fill me but I am craving for vegetables even more than usual! I often crave for dark chocolate whenever I am low in energy, I enioy the chocolate flavour protein bars from this TR90 and they are filling. They are actually I meal replacement!

Today I am off work so I will sleep at dawn, wake up in day time (which will be weird to see day light) and do what I gotta do... eating the right way as recommended in the TR90 system.

I have to confess, I haven't done the 100 reps exercise either.... I will start tomorrow as day 1!

Love Love seeing peoples results in the TR90 group on facebook, I can't wait to be measured up after 2 weeks.... although my pictures taken the night before I started day 1 weren't exactly great LOL but I don't care!! I am a walking testimonial !

Nu Skin 180 Cleanser Product Review

Your skin can show discolouration, uneven skin tone, pigmentation, spots,wrinkles,  blackheads when its suffering. We can chose to ignore it but sometimes we feel the pain from the skin and it becomes worse. Sometimes untreatable but using the right products can save you!

 I always read the back of the ingredients when it comes to skin products because I like to know what I am using on my skin and also in case I have a reaction, I would know what to avoid in future.
I spend money on products to help my skin reverse the damage so of course I am going to ensure what am using is beneficial especially if it's a product highly raved by many beauty lovers! 

Nu Skin have a range called 180º  which specifically help diminishes the appearance of lines and wrinkles, refines texture and evens skin tone for a more youthful appearance in as little as 7 days! I was very intrigued as the name caught my attention! I have read SO many good reviews on it!

For £41 there is 125ml of the product long lasting and can be used as a face wash or as a face mask, both very effective for the skin!





I use mine 1-2 times a day and it has lasted me for about 3 months now and I am not even half way through the tube therefore, it is very cost effective!










It is highly recommended by Doctors and researchers that, using 10% of Vitamin C on our skin , it would improve the skins texture and elasticity!

Nu Skin 180 Cleanser is one of the most extraordinary cleansers on the market!Active Vitamin C is a critical nutrient for skin firmness and radiance Not only is it very beneficial for the skin helping multiple levels of signs of ageing, but it can be proven to be a life saver for age spots and dark circles!
Newspaper article  asks the question of ' can Vitamin C cure wrinkles?' - yes it can help diminish those evil lines, if the product is genuine. I can prove if the products contain Vitamin C.....


press play to watch!

Ingredients:

Glycerin, Ascorbic Acid, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Stearyl Glycyrrhetinate, Phospholipids, Butylene Glycol, Carbomer, Silica, Fragrance (Parfum), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891).

 In this product, the main active ingredients include:

• sesame and soybean oils - prevents moisture lost
• grape seed, ginkgo biloba leaf and ginseng extracts to provide antioxidant protection

Pro's:

• firms the skin
• brightens the complexion
• repairs the signs of damage from harmful UVA/UVB rays
• diminishes appearance of dark circles/age spots
• smells fresh
• supports collagen production therefore skin becomes more elasticated and plump
• leaves skin feel soft and refreshed
• suitable for any age
• Features a patented waterless formula that delivers 10% active, free-flowing vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) to the skin.

I use this in the morning and night, with just a small amount, it melts onto my skin. I ensure my face is make up free, I wet my face with luke warm, apply a pea sized amount onto my finger tips avoiding the eye area,  then massage it softly onto my face concentrating on where there are lines like around my mouth area. This can help the fine lines to be deeply cleansed and prevent deeper lines. When the product is set on my skin, I wash it off with cool water then pat my face dry.

When my face has absorbed too much sun from my holiday, I had dark spots, freckle-like marks. I applied this 180 cleanser onto the face as a mask and let it set for 5 minutes. I then washed it off and my marks has faded and my skin glowed. This is how powerful this gentle cleanser is therefore it is very beneficial for marks on the face.

Please note: lathering the cleanser onto the hands before applying it to the face WILL release the Vitamin C therefore decreasing the benefits of the cleanser so apply it quickly to the face to get maximum effect!

This is definitely my ultimate favourite cleanser for the autumn-winter season as it helps to brighten my skin and gives it that radiance it deserves! You owe it to yourself to have healthy looking radiant skin!

The start of Nu Skin TR90 challenge!!

Today is going to be an exciting day as it will be day 1 of a 90 day challenge program I have set myself up for! With the help from Nu Skin I am starting the TR90 worlds first genetic weight management program!
Now, you might look at me and judge me thinking why am I going on it? I get that A LOT which is why the next 90 days is going to be so exciting for me and for my viewers! There will be a diary of the 90 day journey so watch this space!!

TR90 was only available for a limited time offer for a few days but due to it's high demand world wide, 20,000 kits were sold in 90 minutes across Europe! Not only that, in Greater China 20,000 kits were sold in 1 day, Korea sold theirs in 4 hours and in America it sold out in 30 minutes!
WOW!!!


With the advanced genetic science to prove this weight management program, it has become the worlds first genetic launch of a new era! Nu Skin shares had gone up dramatically in such a short time! and more and more people have become more health conscious , which is fantastic!!



I was super excited to receive my TR90 as I was VERY lucky to have been able to buy it! It was available from 8am on the 7th October 2013.... facebook went crazy as people were uploading photos and statuses! LOL!




So why did I buy it? Well,  I really really wanted to do something about my internal and external sources of weight management which is what the TR90 is specifically for. It gives you your adequate supplements, and stops you from yo-yo dieting which is what I have been doing all my life - it ain't good for my body in the long term!
Dieting actually makes you fat - sounds so wrong but it damages your body engine which helps you to lose the 'weight' but did you know that muscles are heavier than fat? so if you're losing the fat but building the muscles, you are bound to weigh more. It's all about looking and feeling, not the scales.

The kit includes:

TR90 JS  Your 2-week boost to get you primed and ready for lasting success.

TR90 COMPLEX F Rev up your body’s system! Ingredients such as green tea extract will help you to enhance your metabolism.

TR90 COMPLEX C Is your mind ready to feel the transformation? Complex C will help strengthen your willpower while you are on your journey!

TR90 M-BARS An easy and delicious solution that removes the guesswork − giving you the protein you need to contribute to a growth and maintenance in muscle mass.

TR90 Programme Guide This essential guide is complementary to the TR90 supplements. It includes an eating plan, exercises and a 90-day diary.

Nu Skin Convention 2014

Every 2 years Nu Skin host a major event which allows the Nu Skin distributors to be able to attend the convention. 

It's really exciting for me because having my own business with Nu Skin has made me thnk deeper about good health , looking good, feeling good and ways to improve people's well being. I really enjoy what I do and sharing my passion with people around me makes me love my jobs even more! 

Nu Skin includes so many scientific background on their products and is very beneficial in terms of health and well being but it always depends on how much change or justifications every individual would do for themselves. 

This years Nu Skin convention is held in Utah, America. With 1500+ people there, the area was always jam packed! Every shop I went into, the shopassistants would ask me " did you come over for the Nu Skin convention?" And it's so nice for then to take notice. 

The convention experience has been totally mind blowing! The presentations of  the talks we had has been truely inspiring and meeting so may wonderful people in the business has been one I will never forget. It's not often you come across so positive, hard working people and being rewarded so much!

Hello Utah! Salt Lake City!

I have been in America, Utah all week. The last 6 days to be exact. How fast did it fly by?! I have had SO much fun!! Enjoyed it much more than I imagined! 

Time always flies by when you're having fun! 

I was over in Utah for the Nu Skin annual convention, which last pretty much the whole week. It's been such an amazing experience meeting people, expanding my business, learning so much about how credible the company is, spending quality time with my business group and seeing the real scientist including Dr. Joseph Chang and Dr. Paul Cox was just an amazing experience! 

I loved going on the tracks ( basically in English, it means getting on the train via rail service), staying at an amazing hotel with a shuttle can service made out travelling experience so much more convenient and fun as the drivers are so friendly! Looking forward to the rest of my time here in Utah!

My first Sephora haul

I have never ever been to a Sephora store before in my whole life! But seeing that I am in Utah right now, it was a must that I needed to go purchase a few essentials.

Sephora is one of America's beauty drug store, equipped from every beauty item from top brands to their own collections.

I have hear and seen many reviews on Sephora make up brushes, very popular in the U.S. with good results so I just had to get a few!

I love having a collection of bright coloured nail polishes! Even though I don't often paint my nails, I always paint my toe nails though. 

I managed to get hold of a Marc Jacobs nail polish which I instantly fell in love with the colour which is an orange! I also managed I get hold of Sephora's own collection of polishes in a pinky marble colour with 2 glitter specs.

Super excited to use my brushes as my old ones are literally falling apart! The brushes are soft and look very professional, not so sure how they will be when I start using them though! 

If anyone has any reviews on the brushes, feel free to leave it under my post so I can have a read!

Trip to Tunisia

I just spent the last 7 nights in Tunisia, a beautiful 3rd world country full of friendly people, camels, cactus, olives! I never really knew what to expect as I have never travelled in Africa before but from what I was told by friends who have been to the country, they say people there are really friendly!

I enjoy travelling and I have ALWAYS wanted to help 3rd world countries, visiting them is a step closer to what I would love to do, it was a complete honour to go visit Tunisia.

There was lots of shopping to do nearby in their shopping malls, I went to Medina for the morning to see where the real sight of haggling was. I managed to haggle a few bargains and see how people haggle.
There are lots of jewellery, ceramic dishes, plates, perfumes to buy. A lot of counterfeit items including handbags and watches.

I enjoy trying foods from different parts of the world, I appreciate the preparation and textures of different cultures, experiencing tunisian food was interesting!

The food was pork free as it is part of an Muslim country. I don't eat pork and there wasn't an issue with choice of food there. I thoroughly enjoyed the variety in vegetables as well as the desserts. Definitely did satisfied after each meal!

afternoon tea

During my stay, it was hitting 23-30 degrees in the day time, with clouds at times but the sun rays were strong. I applied spf 30-35 every 1-2 hours. 

I used my Nu Skin SPF 35 for my face and body as this one is my all time favourite sun screen lotion. The best thing about it is that it didn't harm my sensitive skin nor did it stain my clothes! Coming back home with a tan darker than I thought made me really happy lol!

Here are some photos...... of course I did some major posing! Here are just a few of them heehee.......
