New Theory On Eczema

As I was rummaging through piles of our Reader's Digest Collection, (one of my all-time favorite regular reads), I stumbled upon one interesting issue and saw an article concerning one of the most saddening skin issues faced by many - eczema, which I would like to share with you. I will be quoting some of the lines in the article. Again, awareness is key. Hope this helps:

Using harsh soaps could be the cause of eczema, rather than just exacerbating the problem, say researchers at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. Soap can strip natural oils from the skin, leaving it open to irritation and infection. Avoid the foaming agent sodium lauryl sulphate (in many soaps, bubble baths and detergents), which dries out skin.

Knowing that eczema may after all not be solely caused by over-sensitivity, allergies and the like, we should do our part to prevent it from reaching us and our loved ones. Make sure you read the ingredients of the products that you use and make sure you understand these ingredients. We can't feel safe with things we don't thoroughly understand, right? So let's all be wise and stop skimping on ourselves especially if it's our health at stake.

'Til next time, dearies. :)

This Is Something You'd Never Allow Yoursef to Miss and Let Go Of

I’ve been keeping my hands off the keys for quite some time now, trying so hard to not write about this one but tonight seems to be so different. I literally had to get up from bed, open Lil Mon (that’s what I call my lappie btw) and start putting thoughts into words…

You know the feeling when you just can’t sleep something off ‘coz you feel like choking with the fullness of excitement in your heart that expands through your throat and tummy both at the very same time?

We give so much love and effort in formulating new ideas for VNM. It involves so much research, tests and nitty-gritty product development. We make certain that what we launch is not just another product you’ll see when you start putting some extra effort into browsing some more sites in the hopes of finding potential noteworthy sellers or when you walk through various hallways from emerging high-end shops some more. We don’t want something that solely smells good or something that looks really yummy and nothing more. We make sure we bring not only one-of-a-kind products but also valuable ones at that. Yes. Valuable ones. Not the type you’d wanna throw away after you’ve used it or the type you’d finish but eventually ditch just ‘coz it’s less than your money’s worth. We make sure that if we launch a product, it is something that your skin will deeply fall in love with. It is something that will make your skin literally healthier. We transcend even our own expectations.

In this light, I am proud to say that we are developing a new line that is simply legendary. This/These is/are (one) product/s you’d never wanna miss. And when you tried, you’d never want to live without. Okay, maybe for some this might sound completely exaggerated, but believe me, when my stocks come in, I’ll be reserving a whoooole lot to last me for one whole year. Simply because it’s no hyperbole for me. I am serious.

I’d give a detailed description, experience, how tos when we finally launch it. I’ve been using it for quite some time already and each experience never fails to give me that exact same feeling of amusement when I first got to try it.

Still thrilled but will try to sleep,

Jamie

P.S.
The facial mask got out of stock really quickly, a friend bought everything that’s left for a project that she organized and we just can’t say no. Apologies to those who have been ordering. We will be back with a new batch with an improved formulation. :) Weeee! That’s my gift to all of you! Thanks!

What I Do To Combat Raging Hormones

So that grueling time of the month just passed again. And I swear whenever that phase is nearing, I always know it is. Why? Simply 'coz of the hormonal changes that I just don't miss!

What happens (physically) a week before it arrives?

1. Pimples suddenly popping out from nowhere both body and face uggh.
2. Extremely visible whiteheads - that unparalleled kind which your precious fingers are just so so itching to prick!
3. Oilier face.

What I do to achieve and regain that smooth and flawless look?

1. I do not prick those whiteheads. I scrub with VNM Escape BodExfoliator (both body and face but with a milder intensity on the face). I notice that the whiteheads are easily removed from the skin upon washing the scrubs off without all the horrible effort of pricking.

For the body, (GIVE TIME FOR THIS!) I slather on some of Escape, scrub scrub scrub for ten to fifteen minutes (hopefully this will cover the entire body already), leave on for five minutes, scrub scrub scrub some more for five minutes again. Leave on and then rinse. Then I use VNM soaps all over my body, enjoy the rich lather it creates while singing then rinse. :) So after you've just spent almost an hour in the bathroom, there has to be some reward eh? Just as you are rinsing, you'll notice a softer skin worthy of sweet smooches. You'll be amazed! I do this once a week. It is simply replenishing. :)

2. I wash my face with Coffee Fame and Minty Geranium Mud. I massage thoroughly, leave on the lather for about 1-2 minutes and then wash it off. It is very refreshing to use this combo. I use Minty Geranium in the morning and Coffee Fame at night to remove all the dirt and grime stuck on my skin throughout the day. It is my mild exfoliant. Coffee beans are love, you have my word for it. Just create a lather n your hands first then massage so that the beans won't hurt you. And I must say, it is very effective. For my bod, I currently use Coffee Fame and Foam for the Gods and it just feels smoother each time. After bath, I slather on some Cleopatra Rub for extra pampering. I am loving the one in strawberry scent. :) Emu Oil, Cocoa Butter, Grapeseed extracts and a lot more? Truly pampering! Don't be surprised if you suddenly become worthy of the question: "Did you just come out from a spa treatment?" Seriously.

3. I use VNM Face Cream every other night and Emu Oil with CPC+G in between these nights. Blackheads, no more! Believe me. :) BUT, DO THIS RELIGIOUSLY.

4. I use VNM Facial Mask every Wednesday. This is quite a minty mask so you will be experiencing a tingly feeling in the first five minutes. But, do not fret for it will not leave you with a red face at all. After masking, you will notice a more radiant-looking face. You will feel prettier because the oil on your face just won't feel accumulated. I do this once a week.

5. Morning and night. When I don't do anything. When I remember. I make sure I remember. WHAT? Put on Lip Detox! Oh boy, this is one of my favorites! This is the best lipbalm I've tried. I am not saying this because this is actually my lipbutter, but because with all honesty, it is. You'll never know what I am talking about until you try it. I strongly recommend this to those who have extremely undeniably horribly chapped lips (and even to those who can't seem to spend a day with any lippie because of what the lippies theyve tried usually creates on their lips (eeek) )! Try this first before trying on any other brand and notice a healthier younger-looking lips. :)

I make it a point that I do this regularly no matter how busy I am because nothing can replace a well-loved skin. :) After that phase of the month, I am always amazed at how renewed my face is, it simply glows even without make-up. It seems flawless. :) My body has never been this smooth and flawless. :)

Yes, what's inside is what really counts but it does not hurt to be fabulous inside and out ya know. And so let us not be shy and admit, we want both equally! I want both! Let's have both together (I'm joyfully shouting)! ;)

That's it for now, friends. More updates next time. (I'm really excited to share with you but I can't just yet.) :)
