Sael's Beauty Tips for Moms

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today


I am not a fan of Christina Aguilera but this song speaks so much, very inspirational! 


Never let anyone bring you down, it doesn't matter what you look like, we should love ourselves because everyone's beautiful no matter who you are.


And when you feel insecure about your looks, just be yourself. So what if you're not physically attractive, the best shot is to have a good personality. Focus on your good attributes and put your best foot forward. 

These tips will surely help you out:

Take good care of your skin. Cetaphil® Gentle Cleansing Bar is a gentle, non-alkaline, non-soap bar designed for dry, sensitive skin that moisturizes as it cleans. Free of harsh detergents that might dry or irritate your skin, this bar is ideal for all-over body cleansing in the bath or shower. I've been using this Cleansing bar for a few weeks now & I saw a complete difference in my skin. I would definitely recommend this cleanser and will definitely keep using this!

Beauty is not about fixing anything but enhancing what's already beautiful about you. Neostrata face and body lotion improves the visible signs of aging or sun-damaged skin and treat various dermatological conditions including acne, dry skin hyperkeratosis and hyperpigmentation. After using Neo-Strata lotion for the past 5 years, I can safely confirm that it helps my skin clearer and young looking & some of my friends constantly tell me that I look 10 years younger than my real age, whewww?! Thanks to Dra. Fortuna of Patient's First!

Take good care of your feet. These foot lotions works wonders whenever the skin between my toes gets dry and starts to flake. A single overnight application will re-moisturize those areas, and doesn't need to be repeated for quite a while. The tube says that you can also use it on knees, elbows, and hands.

Manage your stress.Too much stress can cause dandruff. Anyone could be a recipient of this. If you have a flaky scalp but shy to see a doctor, this over-the-counter solution is the answer. Betnovate Scalp Applicaton is squeezed directly onto the itchy scalp or skin. This is highly recommended because after two days of using it the itchiness of my scalp was gone.

Do not expose your skin to direct heat or sunlight. Allergy to the sun is common. Even though the effects are less severe but the rashes and itching makes reddish and irritable. This cream relieved the rashes and itching immediately. I absolutely never leave home without my Diprosalic cream. Another effective prescription from Dra. Fortuna!

Take good care of your eyes. Spending most of the day with my laptop makes my eyes always dry and irritated. Good thing this Cellufresh eye lubricant works for me. This formula soothes the eyes for long period of time. Thanks to Dr. Tan of Patient's first.

Take good care of your hair. I use Cream Silk and Pantene Conditioner, while I use Head & Shoulder shampoo. These combination tames and shines my long black hair and I love the way my hair feels and smells after bath.

Pamper yourself once in a while. You don't need to go to the spa to keep your skin looking fair and healthy. You can do and enjoy a body scrub treatment at home. Try to avail this very affordable Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Body Scrub. It gently exfoliates the skin and removes dead skin cells and give it a radiant glow. It contains Vitamin E and Green Tea extract. It also contains Squalene and Olive Oil that help maintain moisture on your skin.

Put a little color on your face. What's inside my kikay kit. I don't wear make up unless I'm attending a party but I do use Face it lipstick and Maybelline pressed powder.

Drink green Tea instead of coffee. I adore green tea. Not only it is good for the skin, it is also really good for your body in general. Over the last few decades green tea has been subjected to many scientific and medical studies to determine the extent of its long-purported health benefits with some evidence suggesting that regular green tea drinkers have lower chances of heart disease.

But if you can't resist the temptation of coffee, better use pure honey instead of simple sugar. They say that Honey is nature’s energy booster, great immunity system builder and a natural remedy for many ailments. Read more benefits of honey.

Don't eat what you watch, watch what you eat. Drop your caloric intake. Limit the amount of rice and added fats. As much as possible, NO soda drinks and junk foods! Above is my original healthy diet recipe.

Oatmeal is very healthy and full of fiber. I eat instant oatmeal for breakfast. If you get bored eating it in your diet, you could try some variations by adding fruits like banana, avocado or papaya. These yummy combination could be a great start to your healthy balanced diet.

Appearance is very important. As you grow older the body starts to let you down, but there are a few things that you can do. Every busy mom knows that the secret to truly good, health and beauty starts with exercise. It's always more rewarding to adopt good habits. No matter how busy you are, always find adequate time to exercise. Rule of thumb, the more time you devote to the gym, the better your results are going to be. If you can't go to the gym more than once a week you could still go for a 30min walk in the mornings or evenings, before and after work, or take a short jog around the neighborhood. There are so many things that you can do to make you fit , you don t always have to pay to lose weight. Keep going!

Drink plenty of water. Water is important for the proper transport of nutrients to all cells and tissues of the body. It Moisturizes the air in lungs, helps with metabolism, protects our vital organ, helps our organs to absorb nutrients better, regulates body temperature, detoxifies and protects and moisturizes our joints.

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. What I'm doing is breathing exercise. I learned how important correct breathing is. It can calm myself when I breathing correctly. This is also my best stress relief therapy. Try it!

Looking great doesn't mean makeup and clothes,
it means feeling good about yourself and staying healthy.

Take some time out to enjoy yourself and make yourself feel good. 

Just because you are a mom, does not mean you have to look like one. Being a mom doesn’t mean your body and looks automatically get pushed aside. Every busy moms deserve some time out too! 

And according to my own research and personal experience, the most powerful remedy to look young and beautiful is to BE IN LOVE. wink! (^+^)

Be yourself, everyone is beautiful in their own way.

Yes, this diet really WORKS. I've tried it and lost 5 lbs in 10 days but according to some doctors this is not the healthiest way to lose weight. A better weight loss solution is doing regular intensive exercise and eating a healthy, calorie controlled diet. But if you decide to do this then you should prepare the following:

2 or 5 pcs of lemons to start.

                                                         

 Graded B or C Maple Syrup- check from Healthy Options. SRP more or less is Php 750.

         

Cayenne Ground Pepper. This is available at any supermarkets near you.

                            

Purified water (much better if hot)

                                                

Maple Syrup Diet Recipe:
2 tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice (approx. 1/2 lemon)
2 tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) organic Grade B (UK grade 2 ) maple syrup
1/10 Teaspoon or more cayenne pepper – as much as you can comfortable cope with
1 Cup (8 fluid ounces) purified or spring water

To Make a Bottle of the Maple Syrup / Lemon Cleanse Drink for the Day:
5 Squeezed Lemons
1 1/4 cup of organic Grade B maple syrup (if you can get it)
1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
10 cups of water
Add all the ingredients to a bottle and shake. Shake again before each drink to avoid any segments settling at the bottom. The taste is deliciously good. Drink as much as you want.
