Unveil a Sexier You with mySlim-Yerba Mate

I have a confession to make. I eat a lot! A lot like 4-5 meals per day with major meals in generous servings, seriously! I have such a huge appetite especially because I'm breastfeeding my youngest for 2 years now. I'm just thankful that my body is capable of burning those extra calories and even though I barely exercise, I can say that I have an active lifestyle. I do a lot of moving around as a mother of three; 6 years old, 3 years old and 2 years old. We also don't have a helper so my husband and I do all the chores though there's a tad bit of unequal division of labor there (you know guys! haha).

It seems like I'm living every girls dream right? Eating a lot and doesn't seem to gain weight. Eventually, nightmares do exist! It's true that breastfeeding helps lose pregnancy weight faster but we get to a certain age when our metabolism just slows down. There's no denying I ain't young like I used to be and with that, hello bulgy tummy, flabby arms and thighs! It may look cute on kids but certainly not on adults, agree? That's why we find ways to get rid of it. If you were able to read my previous post about achieving my pre-pregancy body HERE, you'll see my dilemma in losing weight. I don't want to go on diet (I love eating, remember?), no time to hit the gym so I settled with my whole grain cereal, my usual daily activities and incorporated some basic cardio exercises. I know that I can do something else, I wanna try something new that will make it easier and faster. 

Yes, I'm thinking about trying out dietary supplements. Nowadays, dietary supplements come in a variety of forms such as tablets, capsules, as well as drinks and energy bars. It’s becoming hard to tell which product yields the best and safest results.

It was like a blessing in disguise when I received this MySlim package, such a perfect timing!

MySlim was developed by Vida Nutriscience Incorporated, one of the leading health and wellness products provider in the market and the country’s go-to provider of safe, novel and ethical health and wellness products.

Through my research, I found out that MySlim with Yerba Mate is Philippines dietary supplement of choice. It is the first slimming and detox drink clinically proven to promote safe weight loss for its special Yerba Mate formulation.

MySlim-Yerba Mate is available in 3 forms: MySlim-Yerba Mate Drink Ready To Drink Bottle, MySlim-Yerba Mate Powdered Drink in Sachet and MySlim Slimming Capsule.

MySlim- Yerba Mate Drink (Ready to Drink)

SRP: Php 89.00 per 200 ml bottle.

MySlim- Yerba Mate (Sachet)

SRP: Php 828.00 per box with 12 sachets. Php 69.00/sachet

You can drink 1 bottle or sachet of MySlim- Yerba Mate drink every other day.

Yerba Mate was first discovered in Brazil and was then used for tea. Over the centuries since its discovery, clinical studies and research proved that it is also an effective weight loss component. It reduces fat without shedding lean muscle mass and only burns unwanted fat, making you fit and healthy. 

Apart from Yerba Mate, mySlim is also packed with:

Palatinose which promotes energy for longer periods of time. 

Carnipure which reduces the sensation of hunger therefore reducing one’s food intake.

MySlim Slimming Capsule

SRP: Php 540.00 per bottle with 30 capsules.

 MySlim Slimming Capsules can be taken 1-2 capsule/s in the morning and 1 or 2 capsule/s at noon or evening, before or after meals. 

In addition to the above ingredients The Slimming capsules also contains the following:

Garcinia Cambogia, which reduces appetite, blocks an enzyme in your body preventing carbohydrates to be stored as fat and it burns fat rapidly.

Green Tea Extract (EGCG), increases fat loss, improves brain function and physical performance. 

Things to expect when taking mySlim:

• MySlim Slimming Capsule causes thermogenic effect, meaning your body will produce heat through metabolic stimulation. It also suppresses appetite. 

• MySlim drink has a detoxifying effect but not necessarily considered as LBM or diarrhea. Expect about 2-3 trips to the bathroom (depending on a person) so it is advisable and safe to drink when you're at the comfort of your home. It's good for those who experience frequent constipation.

I was a little bit hesitant at first but after further research I got a deeper understanding about the product, so my anxiety turned in to excitement. But I guess it has to wait for a little while, because even though I am already weaning my baby from breastfeeding there are still times when she demands for it. Good thing my husband agreed to take it for  me, because I really wanted to share with you our first hand experience with the products. 

Just like me my husband also loves to eat so undeniably, he has also gained weight that's why it wasn't that hard to convince him. Haha!

We first tried mySlim-Yerba Mate in sachet, we just poured all the content in a 250 ml of water. It's strawberry flavored and smells good. I was almost tempted to drink it! According to my husband, it taste good, not too sweet and doesn't taste like medicine. 

He drank it around 5:30 pm and said he felt fine so he was able to resume his activity normally. In about 3 hours, around 8:30 pm he already felt the urge to defecate so he went in for his first trip to the bathroom to relieve himself. We observed and waited but there was no trip no.2 even after we fell asleep. It's not like having LBM at all. It's more on like disposing excess water in your body. He did lost his appetite which is one of the side effects of this drink. All he had for dinner is some cheese sandwich  and some water.

TAKE NOTE, the reaction depends from one person to another. That's why it is advisable to take mySlim at the comfort of your home when you don't have important plans ahead to avoid inconvenience.

It's a perfect choice for your fitness regimen but of course everything should be incorporated with self discipline. My advise is for you to still watch out your food intake, opt for healthy food as much as possible and keep moving!

I can't wait till I can finally try it for myself! 

Recently, mySlim revealed its new brand ambassador, Jennylyn Mercado. She was chosen as the perfect image of strength and value for one’s constant improvement – both of which are mySlim’s brand philosophy.

MySlim is available in 7-11 and in all leading drugstores and malls nationwide.

Jordan's Premiere BEAUTY SECRETS Mud Products To Launch This December 2015

I admit, when  it comes to beauty stuff I'm actually a late bloomer. There are a lot of beauty products available in the market and product reviews all over the world wide web but I'm just hesitant to try because my first time wasn't a pleasant experience and that was during my college days. I stopped using anything on my face except soap and water and it took a while before I had the courage to give some beauty products a try. Another reason is because I breastfed my youngest, and some ingredients are not safe for me and my baby. But here I am now, exploring the world of beauty. I know I have more to discover!

When you hear the word Mud what comes to your mind? I don' know about you but for a late bloomer like me, it's  unlikely to be associated with beauty, but I was wrong. And, last Friday November 13th we got to unveil a secret from one of the renowned beauty brand in the world- BEAUTY SECRETS.

I together with other fellow Bloggers were invited to get to know their products more, the event was held at their second home, the sister company of BEAUTY SECRETS, AL BATRA Coffee Shop and Restaurant.

BEAUTY SECRETS, the only brand in the world that has the widest range of FACIAL MUD PRODUCTS from THE DEAD SEA. Did you know that the mud from the dead sea has been used for generations but only BEAUTY SECRETS uses ALL NATURAL ingredients which are compliant with European Cosmetics Standards and with ISO 22716 certification. They are already available in 65 countries in the Middle East, Europe, Russia, Africa, Ukraine, USA, Canada, Asia and will soon be available in major malls in the Philippines this December 2015!

Only BEAUTY SECRETS PRODUCTS FACIAL MUD and it's other products from the DEAD SEA has 21 minerals like Magnesium, Potassium, Chloride, Bromide, Sodium, Iodine, Calcium to name a few and natural ingredients like Aloe Vera, Collagen, Sage, Chamomile, Avocadine, Jojoba, Vitamin E and Genger roots.

At the event, an experiential demonstration was done to which I actually learned a lot. I can't believe how many steps a beauty regimen could take, but I guess there's no shortcut to achieving a beautiful skin. 

Products used

Ms. Richelle Molon and Ms. Alice Mate;

 Bloggers who volunteered to be our models for the night.

After applying the FACIAL MUD, what's next? If your answer is to rinse it off with water, you are wrong. We found out that you just have to let it come off using your fingers or with a facial wipes then apply a facial cream. Surprised? 

Our models looking fresh after the demo.

After the demonstration and few discussions, we were served with delectable authentic Mediterranean/Persian cuisine for dinner which you should give a try when in Makati. It was indeed a fun and relaxing experience. I'm glad to be part of the event because personally, I believe that their products are very promising and the fact that they are 100% natural is a great plus for me.

With more than 120 plus products, BEAUTY SECRETS, the model of consistent product philosophy and uncompromising quality face, body and spa treatment, is distributed by Jordan's Premiere Beauty Secret Inc.

BEAUTY SECRETS Corporation had been established in the beginning of 2004 by a group of experts in dermatology, chemistry, marketing, advertising and finance backed up with the most modern research laboratories in Jordan, United States, France and Switzerland. The experts from these countries came up with a magnificent line of skin care products and furthermore, innovated the blending of natural herbal and floral fruity extracts with minerals for personal or for spa use.

I can't wait to try mine! Thanks Jordan Premiere Beauty Secret Inc.

Watch out for their launching this December 2015 they will be available in major malls and if you want to experience a personalized facial and body scrub treatment, you can book an appointment.

Kuya J Restaurant Food Review

I want to immediately say that nope you won't see Jericho Rosales in this blog post but you will definitely know whether this restaurant is worth it like "Money well spent worth it" or "I just came here because Jericho Rosales is endorsing it". Last November 14 was an average day for us and then everybody randomly decided to go out just because... Well just because they wanted to. We went to SM Southmall and upon entering there was this sign that my parents couldn't resist to notice. Yes, It was the Kuya J's sign inviting us to try their dishes.

We came there around 5:30PM and it was going to be an early dinner for all of us. I swore to myself that i wasn't going to eat much since i was a bit full from lunch, I even opted in ordering 1 cup of regular rice only but then they ordered Sizzling Gambas, Crispy Pata, Binagoongang Rice and Sinuglaw. I somehow felt a bit challenged since there's no way I'm missing out on any of those dishes.

Orders started coming one by one after 15 minutes which was alright for us since we didn't wait that long.

First up are the shakes. Everyone was like *bakit hindi puno* hahaha! We do like the idea of having it in a mason jar but taste wise there's really nothing else to complain about.

Price: 85.00 pesos each

Then comes the Sinuglaw. Marinated grilled pork belly and fresh Tanigue fish soaked in vinegar. I only ate the grilled pork since i can't tolerate eating raw fish. *Yes I'm also a kill joy with some Chinese, Japanese and Korean Dishes. Thumbs up from me for the grilled pork and another thumps up for the Tanigue fish from my parents and wife. The only down side is the small serving which will definitely make you order at least two of this.

Price: 230 pesos

Sizzling Gambas which happens to be another dish that will leave you hanging. We ended ordering another plate. It definitely have a good combination of heat and flavor. Achievement unlocked: Using heat in a food review like Gordon Ramsey. There's room for improvements though since I feel like they need to add a bit more flavor on the sauce since it taste a little bland after the first few bites.

Price: 295 pesos

Humbinagoongan Rice Platter which again is a case of *bitin* moment. We might have also underestimated our appetite and ended up ordering another serving of this. We love it and the additional pork on top is a bonus. 

Price: 175 pesos

Drum Roll Please! Here comes their  best seller Cripsy Pata (Regular) which is also their Signature Dish. I happened to have gaze upon the other tables and it's funny cause everyone except for the two love birds i saw had this on their table. We love the crispiness of the skin and juiciness inside. You can order a (Family) size one but this one had us full already. We were 4 adults and 3 kids to share and munch over this scrumptious food. 

Price: 490 pesos (Regular) and 695 (Family)

Foodie! The lady on the background is probably thinking : "Why are they taking a selfie holding a Crispy Pata?! That's how good it is hahaha!

The place is so packed full! Do you see that spot with empty chairs? That's where we sat.

But it was immediately filled with new customers.

I do wish that they include the taxes of each dish in their menu already so that people won't be surprised with the estimate that they have in mind. Overall we did have a good time and didn't expect that it only costed us that much to enjoy those sumptuous dishes. Kuya J Restaurant easily became a part of our family's must go to restaurants.

Dyson Fluffy DC74: Dyson's Latest Technology Media Exhibit

In this day and age, modernization is unstoppable as we aim to attain a better way of living. What gets a mom like me excited are things that can make life easier with kids, food, home and living. That's why I didn't think twice when I got invited together with my fellow Mommy Bloggers to attend the Dyson's media exhibit.

The exhibit showcased different modern products that promises a better way of living.

Dyson cylinder vacuums capture allergens and up to 99.99% of small dusts as small as 0.3 microns

The Dream Fan of every mom who worries that the fingers of their small kids might get cut with an ordinary fan's blade.

Dyson Air Multiplier. Powerful air projections. No blades. I simply wanted to take one home upon seeing that it works like how our regular fans work at home but without visible blades that can cause accidents. Less worries equals more fun at home!

Introducing, Dyson Fluffy DC74: Soft to touch but not a soft touch

The Dyson Fluffy DC74 is very compact and powerful, it's every modern mom's must have for an effective housekeeping. Every detail about Dyson's latest technology is just exceptional, It's Wireless and Super light but what I admire most is that it captures harmful fine dusts contrary to conventional cleaning thus leaving allergens behind which can cause respiratory problems. Amazing right?

The exhibit was hosted by Mr. Bobby Yan, Communications Head of WhitePlanet Inc. exclusive distributor of Dyson in the Philippines.

(Mr. Bobby Yan discussing the latest technology from Dyson)

In dept details on what exactly is the difference of Dyson's Fluffy DC74 from ordinary vacuum cleaners.

Nowadays, modern moms prefer using a vacuum cleaner rather than a traditional broom. But let's admit it, not all vacuums are created equal. Dyson Fluffy DC74 has been engineered to tackle dust and debris on hard floors without leaving a scratch behind. Dirt-- big or small--is definitely a no match!

The whole cleaner head of the DC74 has been redesigned by Dyson engineers; as a result the machine’s performance has increased dramatically. Though it's tough on dirt, it's kind to any kind of floor

The soft nylon cleaner head with carbon strips engulfs large debris and envelopes fine dust. 

Dyson Fluffy’s cleaner head casing is high at the front thus, gone are the days when the dirt just gets pushed around and gets stuck in the corners and crevices.  The brush bar can reach right up to skirting boards achieving outstanding edge to edge cleaning.. Also, the motor of the cleaner head is sat within the roller ensuring side-to-side pick-up is unrivaled. Not a speck left behind.

Dirt is then effortlessly sucked-up into the clear bin which can easily be emptied.

The Dyson digital motor sits at the heart of Dyson’s cordless vacuum cleaners. Spinning at 120,000rmp - 5 times faster than a formula 1 car engine- the Dyson digital V6 motor offers the power of a full-size vacuum cleaner. Powerful suction in a small, light package and without the hassle of wrangling a power cord around furniture.

Dyson Fluffy is always ready to go for easy floor cleaning and quickly converts to handheld mode, for cleaning the ceiling and even mattresses. It has 8 additional tools tackling hard-to-reach places. It has a motorised turbine head glides up stairs. The flexible crevice tool reaches narrow spaces behind furniture. There's the soft dusting brush sweeps up dust on blinds, a stubborn dirt brush tackles the hardest of grime. Mattress tool, removes dust, dirt and allergens from mattresses.

 Combination tool, nozzle converts to a brush tool for dusting.

 Crevice Tool, for cleaning in tight gaps and narrow spaces.

It also comes with a mini motorised tool, Nylon bristles agitate the fibers of mattresses to remove more dust and allergens.

You can get your own Dyson Fluffy DC74 for Php 38,500 and is available in Century City Mall (Dyson Concept Store), Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La, Rustan's Cebu, Rustan's Gateway, Abenson Ascott, Duty Free Philippines, Anson's Makati, Robinson's Appliance Magnolia, True Value Rockwell, True Value Estancia and True Value 8Forbes.

A picture with the perky and nice Bobby Yan. He was my seatmate during lunch time at the exhibit.
(Na conscious tuloy ako kumain hehe)

With my fellow Mommy Bloggers Ms. Lariza Garcia and Ms. Eihdra Gatchalian

The Exhibit took place at Shangrila Plaza last November 6, 2015

I could just hold on to this forever.
