Health food: Whey Protein

I have a bestie, or rather, a partner in crime who is now working as a personal trainer in a local gym. We grew up together but we’re like heaven and Earth. We’re totally different beings, but I think we complement and get along with each other just fine. After all we have been friends since we were 11 years old.

My bestie, she’s a very health conscious person. Which means, she goes to gym to work out even before she started to venture into the fitness and body building industry. While me, on the other hand, is somewhat nonchalant when it comes to health and fitness. She’s the kind who would count her calorie intakes as she eat while I don’t really care about calories. As long as the food taste good, anything goes, even if it’s unhealthy.

She could go on and on and on, talking about health supplements and why whey protein is essential in body building and fitness industry. Truthfully, I am not a bit familiar about health supplements as well as whey proteins and whatnot. I am practically illiterate when it comes to these sort of things.

And so, I looked up supplements UK where there are loads of infos on health food supplements provided.

According to supplements UK, whey protein is is a high quality protein powder made from cow’s milk. Milk has two proteins: Casein (approximately 80%) and Whey Protein (approximately 20%).

Whey protein is more soluble than casein and also has a higher quality rating. It is often referred to as the gold standard of protein as it is the most nutritious protein available.

Whey protein is a high quality, complete protein, with all the essential amino acids and is also the richest known source of naturally occurring branched chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine). And so, whey protein are important for active individuals, individuals who exercise a lot, bodybuilders and professional athletes.

So is whey protein for me? No. Not quite. It’s not quite for me, cuz I I don’t exercise much. I only swim a few times a month, and that’s merely for relaxing, not exercising. But whey proteins is certainly for sizzling hot and virile men like this. ๐Ÿ˜€

And this…

And definitely this…

Good grief, working out and taking whey protein does that to one’s body? Hmmm… I better stop and run to the nearest gym for some eye candies instead before my imaginations runs wilder. ๐Ÿ˜€ Anyone with me?

Cleffairy:ร‚ย  I kinda know why my bestie got so hooked in the gym. Tsk tsk tsk! Shame on you, Pau! ๐Ÿ˜›

KAFT-1

This is NOT A PAID REVIEW. This is something I voluntary write on the behalf of KAFT-1 so that the consumers out there is aware of this brand, and I’m not compensated in any ways for introducing KAFT-1.

What is KAFT-1? I’m not sure if any of you have heard about this skin care brand before, but I’m certainly not aware of it until about a week ago when I was having my usual cuppa while having a chit chat with my friend about skin care and non surgical face sculpting products for youth who are in their 20s.

You see, as of late, I’ve been rather vain and quite concern about my appearance, as I lead a very hectic life and full of stress, and that alone contribute to accelerated aging, and if I’m not careful, I could look like I’m in my 30s instead of in my mid 20s.

Hearing my concern, my friend introduced KAFT-1 to me. According to her, their skin care products is very good and much more cost effective than signing up for facial programmes in those well famed beauty salons and spas.

I was told that the products is effective enough that we could see the difference on our complexion even at the first usage, and so, I decided to look them up, as I’ve never heard about KAFT-1 before and never even stumbled upon this product in any form of advertisement before.

Apparently, KAFT-1 is a new brand, and they have yet to make their grand appearance in the beauty industry, and they’re still in their infant stage to introduce themselves to the world, and therefore, I am more than glad to help them create their brand awareness to the public who are health and beauty conscious.

While most would hide their beauty secrets, be it nip and tuck or even the skincare regime that they use, I wouldn’t do that. Sharing is caring, you see. I wouldn’t hide good things from all of you out there. It is an honour for me to share good things with you folks ๐Ÿ˜€

Anyway, back to KAFT-1. KAFT-1 is a new skincare brand in Malaysia and had developed a new generation, new concept and innovative skin care of good quality and effectiveness towards anti-ageing for Asian skin, and with this special formulation, KAFT-1 is the pioneer and the leader on this skin care concept.

They are currently concentrating on these 2 products:

Kaft-1 Anti-Ageing Youthful Effect White O2 is a product that contains special formula that nourishร‚ย  and moisturize the skin to help the skin to stay moistened and soft to fight against the sign of ageing and early ageing.

The second one is the product that caught my attention. Kaft-1 Perfect V-Shaper. Perfect V-Shaper is an easy home care treatment mask which gives the user a well sculptured, smooth and clear face line when used repeatedly and steadily. In my opinion, this product is somewhat a better alternative to those surgical face lift and face sculpturing procedures. Safer, and much more cost effective as well.

Anyway, bottomline is, I was very interested in KAFT-1 product, and therefore I’ve contacted KAFT-1 for further infos on their products.

Is their product good and effective? Well, til next time, folks. Stay tune for more on KAFT-1.

Lasik Surgery

This is a paid post/review written by me on the behalf of Stahl Eye Center.

Lasik is the most often performed surgery in the US.

Lasik vision recovery can be as little as a few hours, but most see well in about a day or two.Lasik normally has no pain, and that alone makes me so tempted to get rid of my spectacles by having lasik surgery done. Being a cheapskate, I’m worried about the budget, though. But I’m rather vain, knowing that the eye can be the most beautiful accessory a woman can have. So I’ve been checking out the website above for more infos. Anybody have questions about lasik? Visit the site above and get to be informed about the pros and cons of it.

I was in Seventh Heaven

It was my first time ever in Seventh Heaven, and it was definitely something that I would remember for the rest of my life. The experience of it was…exciting, arousing, and not to mention, rather erotic. It’s something one have to experience themselves to understand what I’m talking about.

If I were to explain it, I’d say, it’s a cross between Kamikaze and Screaming Orgasm shots. Exciting and exhilarating, and yet, rather mind boggling and scary. It was a realm of unknown. At least to me, it was.

I went to Seventh Heaven the other day.

It’s a beauty and personal care heaven for women. Located at 7th floor in Pavillion, Jalan Bukit Bintang, KL. Seventh Heaven is kinda hard to find, truthfully. The pathway and the entrance to Seventh Heaven was somewhat hidden from the eyes of the public, and being a first timer, I felt as if I was walking in a labyrinth before I finally found the entrance to Seventh Heaven.

This is not something I usually do…but I’ve received an invitation from Mary Chia The Beauty and Slimming Specialist for a complimentary relaxation facial session worth RM160 via ONLY BEAUTY– the free sample website that I was talking about in my previous blog entry.

This is not a paid or sponsored post, mind you. It is something I voluntarily do on the behalf of ONLY BEAUTY and Mary Chia The Beauty and Slimming Specialist since they had all but kindly provided the grumpy fairy with a free facial.

I’m somewhat indebted with the…experience, as I’ve never been to facial treatments before in my life, period! While it’s something normal for other people, the experience is rather new to me, so, please excuse my obnoxious entry.

Since the spas and beauty centres in Seventh Heaven are for ladies only, men are usually ushered out to the lounge, giving absolute privacies to women who went to Seventh Heaven for treatments and pampering. Mary Chia’s was not excluded. Absolute privacy.

Upon arrival, I introduced myself andร‚ย  was greeted with a warm smile by the the receptionist and I was quickly ushered to the consultation room where a beautician awaits to consult me. I was served with some sort of mead during my consultation session with the beautician in Mary Chia’s.

I was rather nervous, as this is my first time in such a beauty centre. I took a sip of the mead, and I guess, it was to help the clients relax, as I felt much better after drinking the mead. Much, much better.

And when I said consultation, I meant it was strictly consultation. Frankly speaking, since this the facial session was a complimentary session, I initially thought that the consultation session would be a brainwashing session instead where the staff would promote their products and various spa packages to me and persuade me to buy or sign up for membership and whatnot.

But I was glad that I was wrong. It was strictly a consultation session where I was advised on how to take care of my complexion and my well being. I was lectured for my ‘laziness’ and also my ignorance on diet. And the most horrible part would be the lecture about the eyebags.

And I sat there quietly, feeling rather small for my ignorance. But then again, I found the ‘lectures’ were meant to educate me, and it’s certainly much more welcomed than those sales and marketing talks where clients are persuaded to buy their products.

After a good full 15 minutes of lecturing on my daily activities and diets and whatnot, I was quickly ushered to the treatment area, where I was told to keep my belongings in a locker. For those who are worried about thief, worry not when you’re in Mary Chia’s.

The lockers are pretty hi-tech, and it’s thumb prints activated. You need to scan your thumb prints before you keep your stuff inside, and re-scan again when you want to take back your belongings. I was rather baffled. I didn’t expect that a spa could be so advance.

There was various stuff in the small treatment area. I’m sorry I couldn’t describe what stuff there was inside the treatment area. I was too busy being anxious and was in panic.

And why panic, you ask me? Well… there’s one thing about me that not many knows. I am claustrophobic. I fear small and closed area, and I also don’t feel comfortable in the crowds ๐Ÿ™ Plus, they had all but confiscate my spectacles. I’m partially blind without them!

I felt like crying and wanted so much to chicken out, but the beautician assured me that I’m in good hands and I will enjoy the experience. (I wonder if the people in Mary Chia’s are trained to read minds?)

I took in deep breath, and began to calm down. And before I was completely calmed down, I was told to take off my clothes. Imaginations started to run wild, and I was obviously showing my fear, because the beautician giggled and told me to put on a red colour satin tube that has been prepared instead.

She left the room for a good 5 minutes so that I get rid of my clothes and my bra and wear the silk tube instead.

The beautician who was in charge os taking care of me reenter the small and dark room and asked me if I’m ready for the treatment. Nervously, I said yes. And so, she asked me to lay down on the small bed and covers me with a blanket as she lowered down the temperature and turns on some music as well as light up some aroma theraphy candles.

The devil in me was partying, scaring me rotten; that if I were to be murdered, nobody would find my dead body! Seventh Heaven is rather hidden, after all.

Anyway, there was no murders involved, thank God! I stepped out of Mary Chia’s in one complete piece, and I even managed to relax as the facial and some light massage was performed on me. It was sensuous, yet extremely relaxing.

I was tensed up, truthfully, but thanks to the skillful beautician, I even fell asleep during the facial. Yes, she’s that good. She managed to make me sleep throughout second half of the facial session. She works wonder on my face and tensed body, and I felt much lighter when I walked out of the room after the session was over.

I had quite an experience in Mary Chia’s, and I would recommend it to you ladies out there. They’re good. Really good, and if I was asked if I’ll go back there again? I’s say, I would, despite of my claustrophobia.

On a second thought, though the beauticians in Mary Chia’s are very good, I probably won’t go there for facial, but some relaxing bath instead. LOL…at least it won’t be in the dark! ๐Ÿ˜› ( I’m hopeless, aren’t I? My claustrophobia is still not cured yet, despite of the amazing experience in Mary Chia’s)

Thank you, Only Beauty and Mary Chia The Beauty and Slimming Specialist. This is one experience that I would not forget.
