Could a cup remove cellulite?

Not long ago I was strolling around in a beauty shop, and I came across the Bellabaci Cups. They seem to offer a pretty believable way to reduce cellulite, but unfortunately they were sold out of the ones for your body (as you also get smaller cups to use on your face). Watch this video to get a better idea of how it works.

It looks a little time-consuming, but I find this much more believable than all those do-nothing creams that only makes your cellulite feel sticky. Please let me know if you have used it before as I haven’t yet tried it for myself (the cups for your face are also pretty intriguing).  Check out http://www.bellabaci.co.za on how to get yours. And watch this space for more, I’m definitely planning on trying them out soon!

The power of antioxidants:

This weekend, I had my antioxidant-levels tested by a scanner-like machine.

It was pretty interesting. Basically, it tells you if your levels are dangerously low, or super-healthy high. Mine was smack bang in the middle. My mom had hers tested and it was really high! This video clip by Dr. Oz pretty much explains it all.

This exercise has taught me to think twice about what I eat, it also made me realise that you can’t cheat your body like you can cheat your mind (insert the old “but this pastry is filled with spinach” line).

I am now determined to pump my body full of good stuff so that next time I get tested I’ll be proud of myself as well as protected against the dangers of cancer. I’m also super glad I stopped smoking 7 months ago, because I was probably in the red back then! I hope this inspires those smokers out there to quit before they regret it. Here’s to the good stuff!

Lose weight: just add water

Ask every celebrity or model how they stay slim, and “by drinking a lot of water” is sure to be part of their answer. I’ve expereinced this for myself when I recently went overseas. The weather was hot and humid, and I must have drunk more than 2 litres a day. Upon my return, I had easily lost 2 kilos! My skin looked good and I felt good. Staying hydrated is such an important part of looking after our bodies.

Easy ways to drink more water:

1. Drink a glass before bed, and one upon waking up in the morning. (that’s 2 down!)

2. Always have a glass next to you at work.

3. After you have gone for a wee, make sure to drink another glass or half a glass.
