A Kikay’s Holiday Stress Part 1

Sophie — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 14:27:54 +0000

Yes, supplements for Stress help!

I might be the biggest whiner during the Holidays , but hey, I still love it anyway. The weather’s so chilly, it feels great, I’ve been longing to cuddle with a book and watch DVDs as soon as I get my much needed time off from work. But you know, during the Holidays , there are so much stress vibes that are just everywhere! Stress from work – total burnout, I swear, stress from preparing and organizing parties, and stress from shopping.

A kikay girl like me has observed some stress in the name of beauty, too. Here are some of my observations :

1. Skin breaking out lately.
More than two girl friends of mine have had really bad breakouts lately. Call it Holiday stress. Blame the Holidays! Rar! ( No, just kidding ). No sleep, restless from coming up with a shopping list, beating the holiday traffic, and nonstop partying. With me, working 7 days a week paved way for this catastrophic event.

Solution : Catch up on sleep when needed, maintain a strict skin care regimen, drink 8 or more glasses of water (yes, do that), drink vitamins, and keep Sundays free to relax, and exercise somewhat! Lastly, relax. It’s all in the mind. ( Oh I wish I could say this to myself! Haha! )

2. Dry Skin.
The cold weather’s got us bad as it makes our arms, and legs all dry. One scratch from a fingernail and the trace is just so visible. The air is so dry that it makes our skin dry and scalier. Not a good sight, and of course, it doesn’t feel good as dry skin means tight skin.

Solution: Intense moisture is needed, and you won’t even feel the grease with your thick lotions because it’s really really dry weather now, so as soon as you step out of the shower, or while you are inside the bathroom, apply lotion generously on damp skin for maximum absorption. Sleeping with moisturized feet housed in socks would also help!

3. Tired Skin
It shows, and I’ve seen so much people look tired! ( No offense, because I’m one of them! I accept that it’s a normal part of life to have bad moments, you know? ) This is the result of overworking, overthinking, and overblogging ( woops, no, no! haha! ). I mean, overexertion can take its toll on our skin, specially on our face. That’s the worst part because face value is just everything – I don’t mean it superficially like being extraordinarily beautiful, but the overall vibe of the face. You can beam with a smile and make a person forget all of his/her problems. With a tired face, you’d exude the aura of well, being tired. Makes you look older, and heck who wants to look old? Absolutely no one!

Solution: Again, water therapy is a must to replenish body liquids and keep the skin less stressed, and Stress tabs and vitamins would really help to combat the look of being stressed ( I truly believe in that commercial. I skipped one dose of my Cortitrol, a stress supplement, and I loathed on how I looked in front of the mirror. I thought, never again will I skip this thing! ). I know that sleep is very difficult to catch up during the busy holidays, but hey, once you get the time, doze off heavily!

To be continued!

Cold Weather Skin and Body Care Regimens

Sophie — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 13:42:54 +0000

As the weather gets colder, the air gets drier, as our skin does, too. Let’s all keep our skin soft and smooth with these beauty products , and welcome the party-fest ber months with a bang!

Hand Cream – Keep hands baby smooth and silky by using a hand cream! I just discovered this recently, and I regret that I haven’t discovered this sooner! Get a good hand cream that won’t give you a sticky feel as the day progresses.

The Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Hand Cream works well for the day, and Bath and Body Works Hand Cream in Lavender, I may suggest to be used before bedtime to further relax the hands, paired with a massage ( after all, the hands get exhausted, too, but aren’t too noticeable ! )

Lip Balm - For this I’m sure, lips will be cracking dry this season because of the weather. Help prevent this by applying lip balm during the day, as well as before bedtime as the A/C dries up your lips. The most basic product for this is the trusty petroleum jelly. Carmex lip balms are also earning great reviews across several forums that I have been reading on.

Foot Butter – Oh yes, with the most harassed part of the body, specially when wearing open toe d sandals? Slather, and I mean slather foot butter on freshly showered feet, and sleep with socks on for baby soft feet! The best one I have tried so far is the Body Shop’s Body Butter.

Body Lotion – Make sure to focus on the elbows and the knees as you apply body lotion to keep the skin from scaling dry this season. Get a non-greasy trusty lotion like Jergens or Nu Skin Perennial Moisturizer, to keep you comfortable as well.

The Ultimate Kikay Gadgets Part 2

Sophie — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 05:42:27 +0000

Okay, here’s the second installment of the Ultimate Kikay Gadgets! Indeed, this is every kikay girl’s dream of having. I’m lemming ( lemming is the term for wanting something cosmetic in nature hahaha! ) , lemming for them!

#3 T3 Tourmaline Hair Iron

Oh my goodness, the queen of all hair irons! T3 in the United States is hailed as the best hair iron. I’ve been looking for a tourmaline hair iron because it’s the latest in hair care technology. It performs faster, and keeps hair healthy with absolutely no drying and damaging effects like other hair irons do.

What sets tourmaline hair irons apart ? Well, for a background, tourmaline is a stone, and they have (1) negative ions that cut hair styling time in half, and leaves hair smoother, and way shinier , (2) far infrared rays that seals in the moisture in your hair, removes static ( so, buhbye frizzy hair! ), and (3 ) produces infrared heat to ensure incredibly long staying power in your styled hair.

If ceramic hair irons were a notch better than normal hair irons, this is a notch higher than ceramic ones! This futuristic hair iron also has rounded plates, that is perfect not only for styling hair into a sleek, slender look ( which I really find so sexy! ) but can also produce very pretty curls!

Total damage : about 8,000 php. ( $160 )

#4 Artemis Woman Heel Smoother

Check out those sexy stilettos, and cute Havaianas. Wouldn’t it be great to strut around gorgeous shoes with gorgeous feet? Acckk! Did you just forget about your pedicure appointment…two months ago? Oh no! Then, I don’t know how we are gonna flash those toes! Are your feet too dry, or heels slowly cracking because of overwalking and exposing your feet to elements? Revive tired, overworked feet with the Artemis Heel Smoother!

This is your one-stop next best thing to a foot spa or pedicure , as this battery operated contraption exfoliates dead skin cells from your heels and toes! Suffering from calluses? it can smooth them out too, without the scary blades out there! Duracrystal® tips are the patented technology behind this feet saver wonder, that “whirl-around” and get rid of dry, dead skin in an instant!

Total damage : around 1,380 php ($29.99) - not bad!

Well, there you go! The Ultimate Kikay Gadgets out there! The future seems bright for the beauty industry, and all the kikay girls out there since technology just seems to be in favor of keeping us all prettified!
