Himalaya Herbal Haircare.

 I have been battling with hair loss lately and its starting to worry me quite a bit. I mean, believe me when I say I'm worried. Its not the normal one or two strands of hair when I comb my mane, its a whole handful of them after my shower. So yes, I did what I do best, I ask Dr. Google. Browsing diligently through every page, I came across this folk tale which says that the people with the healthiest, long, silky, shiny hair are all from the Mount of Himalayas because of the richness of herbs that they have there.

And me being me, first thing that came to my mind was, "So now I supposed to climb the Mount of Himalayas to get long and silky healthy hair?"

Yeaahhh, thats me when I was told that I have to climb this.....

jusstttt to get to thiss???

hmmmmm...... as much as I loved an adventure, I definitely cannot pursue this noble path to the heavenly hairdom with the amount of work piling up on my desk right infront of me.

So yes, so now what? Disappointed, I started my routine by checking the mail. To my awe, Himalaya actually came knocking on my mail box! It was a few weeks back when I was invited to join Himalaya and A'Cut Above Academy for a hair wash using their new Himalaya Gentle Herbal Daily-use Shampoo. First and foremost, meet the strong line up.

Himalaya's Herbal Shampoo is divided into 2 main lines; the 2-in-1 for people with healthy hair and also the Protein line which targets people with different hair problems like the hair-fall, dandruff or easy-tangle hair for both Shampoo and Conditioner. They also have hair oil for both strengthening the hair roots and also for those with dandruff problem for weekly use. After every hair wash, it is best if we put on a layer of protection and that is where the Protein Hair Cream comes into place. With these, you can rest assure that your hair is in good hands because Himalaya's products uses natural ingredients which are clinically tested. So if you have sensitive skin or problem hair scalps, worry not. Himalaya has even proven to be able to help people with balding problems. Best of all, all these products above are very economically priced.

We were given a hair test to go microscopic on our hair to better target our individual hair problems.

These are the products all the way from Himalaya to suit my hair needs. 

To my joy, I only have mild hair loss problem which is normal for people with long hair.

fuhh~

 The other bloggers having their very relaxing hairwash cum head and neck massages.

Again, I was late and hence the wait.

The very first step; Pre-Wash Nourishment with the Protein Hair oil. Drench your scalp with the oil then massage thoroughly for 5-10 minutes then wash off with the Protein Shampoo made of Chickpea, Amla & Black Myrobala as well as Licorice; all these high in natural proteins to strengthen and promote hair growth, Conditioned with the Repair & Regeneration Conditioner which has Aloe, Chickpea and Bean Sprouts; which also are high in protein contents. To top it all of, apply the Protein Hair Cream as an all-day leave on protection after it is towel-dried. They blow dry and taaa-daaa!

I'm done. 

Yes, probably not the stairwell to hairdom heaven, but I'm happy with my hair. Its definitely smooth and silky now and I loveeeee the smell! Everything with a great scent deserves an extra point. And also, my hair is much healthier now, I see less hair lying aimlessly on my room floor. Hey, good hair and I didn't even break a sweat climbing the Himalayas, how good can that get? So, Imma' leave the Himalayas Mountain to probably a few years from now when I conquer it peak one day, but for now, I am happy I can get them from the nearest Watsons or Guardian shelves at a very reasonable price.

Hollywood WAXXXing babeehhh!

I'm not sure if you guys are big fans of happy endings, but I know I am a huge fan of one. So yes, how does happy endings got anything to do with Hollywood waxing? Well, take a look at this picture below:

I'm sure you know this guy from 2008, when he planned a RM54, 000 proposal for his wife(then girlfriend, Kelly Tan) one of the hotspots for billboards along the LDP highway at Kelana Jaya. Well if you don't know, then you can read it all from here. And here's some of their wedding pictures beautifully shot by Adam Ong's wedding photography.

Again, why am I telling you this? That's because most fairy tale stories don't tell you what happens after "and they lived happily ever after", here's what happens.... They got into WAXXXing business!

Yes, if you didn't know, the romantic duos got together and started their own chain of businesses and WAXXX is one of their business. Some other bloggers and I got invited by Mandy to try first hand the professional services that they have got to offer. And yes, there goes my virgin Hollywood waxing. Even the guys were manly enough to give Manllywood a try!

What I love most about WAXXX not only for their courteous and professional services but also for their imported professional wax which smells so good and gentle to the skin and their comfortable ambience which actually helps in getting the jitters off you while you wait for your turn.

Also, here's what some other blogger's said about WAXXX:

 You are guaranteed to be in safe hands with every visit to WAXXX.

Their utilities and tools are sterilized with hospital-grade disinfectants, and  the spatulas used during every session are never double-dipped.

I always believe that keeping ourselves clean is whats most important. Well, people say that the outlook and appearance doesn't matter, I say bullsh*t. I mean, really. You will have to at least look presentable if not you would scare everyone away, no? Also, cleanliness is not only for appearance, its also for our health and hygiene. Believe me, after getting a Hollywood, I felt much cleaner overall and most importantly, during my menses.

Concept 10 10: The future of Exercise.

I have always been a health fitness freak but yeah, I slacked and have fallen to the dark side for the past few years when I failed to exercise on a daily basis. I too have succumbed to the evil cookies and fattening yet oh-so-good food in Malaysia. Eh, don't blame me, if you're a true Malaysian, you'd know how hard is it to resist the wide variety of good food we have here. So yeah, I have grown very much, not vertically unfortunately but horizontally since my days back in school when I was once very actively participating in runs and also was 1/7 of the netball school team.

Sports day, 5 years back. Yes, I know, I was darn dark and different.

Gym time!

Being back in KL and the weighing machine shouting out for help, I have recently successfully gotten back into my exercising regime. Well, I usually still go to my brother's gym to break a sweat or two, until I found out about Concept 10 10. What is Concept 10 10? It is the one stop solution for busy people who wants to get in shape and stay healthy but couldn't find the time to do it.

Concept 10 10 is actually an international brand with franchises all over the world like Greece, USA, Denmark, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, New Zealand and Saudi Arabia. With more than 25 years of experience with high intensity training, you can rest assured that this new concept is safe and effective for you. Well, in simple words, Concept 10 10 can be summarised in to these following points to give you a clearer picture:

#1. 20 minutes High Intensive workout.

Concept 10 10 dubbed as the future of Exercise is what people like me really need. I am always on the go, and I always couldn't find time to keep myself healthy and in shape. I came across concept 10 10 and I was really intrigued with its concept, where you only spend 20 minutes of high intensity workout, to eventually strengthen and build your muscles. And to do this, every exercise must be done in a very slow motion, 10 seconds each way, hence the name "Concept 10 10". This way, muscles work to its maximum during the entire movement and a maximum number of muscle fibres are involved, eventually building every strand of muscles you have in your body. Concept 10 10 yields a much better result without any risk of injuries, such as tearing of muscles or joints and tendons.

 

6 machines to target every muscles in your body.

#2. Privilege of Privacy and Personal attention.

At concept 10 10 you will also enjoy the privilege of the supervision of a personal instructor to both encourage you and guide you to maximise your exercising regime. There will be no disturbing elements throughout your whole 20 minutes of workout; no waiting, no onlookers, no other people in the room, no music, no distractions. So people who loves the privilege of privacy, Concept 10 10 is perfect for you.

You'll even have your own locker to keep your personal belongings when you work out.

#3. 20 Minutes, once a week.

With Concept 10 10, you will only need to work out 20 minutes, once a week. Many people are surprised that one training session per week should be enough to produce optimum results. The high training intensity is the reason why once a week is not only enough, but also the best option.When your body is intensely stimulated, a number of processes are triggered, and also, your body is so strongly affected that it needs a pause of about one week before a similar intensive training session should be performed. Your body needs time for recovery after training. And our body usually need a period of 5-10 days for recovery and that is why only 20 minutes a week, is all the exercise that you need for a week.

#4. Exercise with comfort.

And also, with Concept 10 10, you need not break a single drop of sweat throughout the whole 20 minutes of high intensity workout. Impressive ain't it? This is because, a research has been done that proves that our muscles work more intensively in relatively cool surroundings therefore, Concept 10 10 aim to maintain the temperature to a 20 degree celcius in the training room. Sweat is actually just something that your body produces when it cannot get rid of surplus heat, and sweat does not in itself have any training effect. So yes, you don't even need to take a bath to meet up with your friends after the intensive workout!

#5. Exercise, a Lifestyle choice.

At Concept 10 10, they aim to incorporate exercise into the lifestyles of each and every customers by the end of their session. As for now, they have two kick-start packages to get you started. The 6-months and the 12-months lifestyle programme that you can choose from.

So hurry now! They are currently having the Keep Fit Together promotion, where you purchase 4 sessions for RM488 and get 4 sessions free for a loved one. Hurry though, this promotion only last till 31st July 2011. 8 session for only RM488, I'd say that's a slick deal!
