I started NETI~

They’ve been working on the “facade” of my apartment building the past year and since they’ve started, I’ve been waking up with that feeling in the back of my nose. That snotty feeling. It’s from the dust. And recently they started painting the window trims. Which made it worse!

So after much research, I decided to give the NETI POT a try.

I got mine at TARGET for $11.99

WEB MD endorses it! So why not give it a shot!

At first, I just kept watching this video because my brain kept telling me that I will drown. But as easily as this lady does it, so did I.

It’s quite amazing how much more cleaner I feel after just 1 use!

Does anyone else NETI?

Girls sweat too!

I think it was when I turned 25. My body changed. I no longer was able to lose weight by skipping a meal here & there. I started getting heavier, much more painful periods. AND I started sweating. Not just a light glow kinda sweat but the kind that drips.

The perfect solution to this is antiperspirant or deodorant, right? The only thing is, I HATE the way it feels. I hate that it’s hard to wash off and it clogs my armpit pores.

I hated deodorant till I found:

I used to buy deodorant according to the way they smelled. Never did I think that my problems were in need of clinical strength.

Here’s how it works:

Are there any other antiperspirant you guys recommend? I would hate to be the sweaty armpit bride xP

Big eyeballs = dangerous?

If you haven’t already heard or read all the articles about the circle lens… here’s a tutorial video that made it BIG on the news!

Yikes… I know beauty is pain… but is it worth it?!

Know your stomach!

One “work out” that has been consistent in my life these days is, hiking & push ups. My bridal gown is a strapless, A-line silhouette. So a girlfriend of mine mentioned how I can “tuck & hide” everything below my boobs. Which means I should concentrate real hard on my jiggly arms & shoulders! BRILLIANT!

One thing that I can’t seem to gain control over is DISCIPLINE & SELF CONTROL.

On my weekly hikes, there is a nutritionist who has made it his mission to use the next 3 months to help me get to my ideal weight. Which means that he just tells me what to eat.

BUT GOOGLE already does that for me.

So when I told him that I have no problem eating what he tells me but I can’t seem to stop binge eating. That’s when he gave me this awesome advice.

KNOW YOUR STOMACH! Visualize it!

Look how small your stomach is compared to the rest of your body! My nutritionist told me that considering my height (5′3″) and age, the average size of my stomach (empty) should be no bigger that both fists.

I can tell you that I have definitely been overindulging and eating beyond my 2 fists!

Here are some tips to prevent you from my bad eating habit!

- I personally don’t like eating by myself. So I’ll starve all day and eat when I am with someone. But by that time, I am SO hungry, I over eat. So snacking on fruit, veggies, & healthy snacks throughout the day is KEY!

- Your stomach registers you are full within about 15 minutes of eating. So stop eating after 15 minutes.

- Chew your food well.

- Drink a lot of water before you start eating. This tip seems like you are tricking your stomach to thinking it is full. So it is important to snack a little throughout the day.

- This last tip is a bit TMI … but keep mental notes on how much you put in your body & how much comes out. This helps you maintain what is in your system.

Wish me luck! I am hoping this new way of looking at food changes my life!

Happy thoughts for the summer :)
