My Fitness Journey: 7 Tips on How to Lose Weight Effectively (By The Graceful Mist | www.TheGracefulMist.com)

It`s been a long time, isn`t it? Summer has ended, and rainy season has entered. Yet, it doesn`t mean you have to stop working for your body just because you`re no longer aiming for that summer-ready figure. Staying fit and healthy isn`t a phase but a lifestyle. 

Even I have difficulties in staying in shape, especially during this pandemic. Since a lot of us are working from home, we`re walking and moving less, especially if you`re doing a desk job like me. It has been incredibly frustrating to try and lose weight. Even if I lost a couple of pounds, it`ll just come back if I don`t constantly workout. It`s why I want to share some of the tips below that I think will help your progress in becoming fit and healthy as well:

1. Set a Realistic Fitness Plan

When you want to lose weight, workout and maintain a certain figure, you have to set a realistic fitness plan that works well with your schedule, your lifestyle, and your goals for your body. 

If you make a fitness plan that seems perfect but doesn`t fit well with the type of lifestyle you have, you`ll only end up being frustrated because you weren`t able to do what`s written in your fitness plan. 

How to set a realistic fitness plan? Here are some questions that can help you evaluate what kind of health plan you need:

• What food and drinks can you eat and drink that`s low in calories, healthy, and easy-to-make?

• Do you want to put certain limitations for food, drinks, sleeping patterns, exercises, and habits?

• What kind of workout schedule works best for you?

If you`re still having difficulties creating a realistic fitness plan for your lifestyle, consulting both a nutritionist and personal trainer will greatly help you come up with one that you can do for a long time.

Losing or maintaining weight doesn`t necessarily mean you have to refrain from eating foods that you love. One of the best practices in maintaining an excellent figure is to eat everything in moderation. Want that pizza? Sure, just eat a slice. Craving for that chocolate cake? Sure, just take a few bites. The key to enjoying holiday feasts this month is simply not over-indulging and making sure to eat more fiber-rich foods that will help in blood sugar control and digestion.

NOVUHAIR Turns Favor with Holiday Bash Promo at Watsons Philippines

Hello Gentlemen and Lovely Ladies!

Watsons Philippines - Free NOVUHAIR Herbal Shampoo 200 ml worth Php 1,040 if you buy a NOVUHAIR 3-in-1 pack at participating stores nationwide. (DOH-FDA CCRR Permit No.: 967 s. 2017)

So you’ve got your festive outfit set and the fancy gift wrapped for your “monito” or “monita". All that’s left undone is a party season-perfect hairstyle. 

The fresh out of the shower look can be seductive yet temporary. Blame it to tropical climate, it can spoil your appearance, besides making you feel sweaty and stale. The heat and humidity brought about by extreme weather condition, likewise, dries out the locks easily and make it more fragile.

Adding damage to your delicate strands are the chemical contents of various products on hand. From shampoo to conditioner and hair treatment, down to styling goods to groom it to your liking, their harsh synthetic materials jeopardize the natural oil and luster of your mane.

Because you are what you eat, the fate of your crowning glory is in the plate. Your diet must have the correct balance of vitamins and minerals to supply hair with all that it needs to become shiny and strong. So don’t overindulge, especially this time of the year when gastronomic feasts are spread almost everywhere you go. Be careful on what you take in, thinking that it’s also what you feed your ‘do.

(Natural Vision) Vision Therapy Eyewear - The Bates Method for Eyesight Improvement

Hello wonderful readers,

Recently, when I was looking around at Watsons, I saw this Vision Therapy Eyewear that uses the Bates method for improving the eyes. This got me highly excited because a few months ago, I was given the idea that natural improvement and/or correction of the eyes are possible so when I found this, it became like a hidden gem beneath the racks. This innovative product`s very appealing and interesting because it somehow works.

At Watsons`, there were available eyewears people can try. Because I was curious with the claims of this product, I wore a pair and saw that somehow it helped me see better. It was somehow amusing because the light traveled in straight directions (as stated in the pamphlet/flyer).

The Vision Therapy Eyewear resembles a sunglasses but with dots. There are different sizes you can choose from, there`s "s," "m," "l," and "u". The "s" or small is the smallest and "l" and "u" are the biggest. The "u" resembles sunglasses while the rest resembles the typical eyeglasses but with black front part. It doesn`t have any prescriptions. It`s basically just like sunglasses with dots.

I`ve been trying this eyewear for a few days but I only put it on when I`m watching the television or using the computer for a few minutes or hours. When I`m having a  hard time reading or seeing, I would use my eyeglasses. It`s recommended to use this as a substitute for the eyeglasses or an alternatvie whenever the user is indoors. If it`s going to be used as an alternative, it`s recommended to use lower prescription glasses and this item. It`s not advisable to use while driving or even outdoors because it obstructs the full vision because of the black front part. I can only see through the dots. When I`m using this eyewear, I can see well but if I were to look at a picture, I can often sense the dots on the eyewear.
