Track Your Heart

Knowing your workout effectiveness requires some information. That’s what I have learned when I did my exercise and workout at the gym.  My instructor told me that I can use a heart rate monitor or holter system monitor to gather information as it  provides some feedback while I workout. 

The heart rate is one way to measure an exercise effort. One way to measure fitness gains is by monitoring your heart rate during exercise. A heart rate monitor can record your exercise sessions over an extended time period. This is very helpful to me since tracking my heart rate and exercise activities also helps to keep me accountable for and on track in meeting my fitness goals.

Getting Rid of Oily Face

I hate to admit but I am one of the many people that are suffering from skin that is shiny, greasy and very oily. There are a lot of products that are being advertised on television and we were even enticed to try out this products specially when it is endorsed by a famous celebrity.

But when it comes to oily skin care products and the ingredients that they use, they are no more than fillers of cheap ingredients that can even cause our skin specially to our face to breakout into even more oils, and even the best skin care experts in the world would not advise anyone to use such products.

There are solutions to our dilemma and it is possible to actually help our body from producing too much of the natural oil. We all know that excess oily skin is known for bringing on an onslaught of acne, spots, blackheads and other skin blemishes.

But what can we actually do in order to maintain our appearance without a huge oil slick on our face? Well first of all we just have to make sure to wash our face at least twice a day using warm water and soap, or a soap less cleanser.

To my fellow ladies, make sure to remove your make up before you go to sleep and you should also use products that are water based to prevent any clogging of the pores. Make sure that you also keep a watchful eye on the foods that you eat.Avoid consuming deep fried food and greasy junk food.

If you want a good skin, the most important thing is to take care of it daily. Make it your habit. Your diet also plays an important part, so does getting adequate sleep and exercise.

Colored Prescription Contact Lenses

I actually have several pairs of prescription contact lenses that I purchased a month ago from my optometrist. These are all clear and disposable contact lenses. It has one free pair of brown colored contact lens. I haven’t tried using the colored one yet. My eye doctor told me that they are also selling those colored prescription contact lenses.

Since I have a vision problem, it is recommended for me to be buy a pair of contact lens that has a doctor’s prescription. The reason is that contact lenses that includes the colored ones have more characteristics than just corrective power. My eye doctor have to know the base curve of my eye and the recommended diameter of the lens in it.

For some people who ignores the need for a prescription and just order color lenses they like from the Internet. This is actually not a good idea because continuous wear of contact lenses that are not properly fitted can damage your eyes, even if you never had vision problems before.

Getting Rid of Eye bags

Did you know that eye bags can make you look older than your age? Most of the people consider improper sleep as the major cause for eye bags. Unhealthy lifestyle and improper health are also some of the factors which result in the formation of eye bags.

Oh! and by the way, you may be wondering who are these lovely ladies  from this photo…^_^ well, that’s my sissy in law and my little miss daughter. Were just having some fun where our family will decide and vote who has the bigger eye bags.  My daughter also used to have an eye bags specially when she lacks some sleep and when she sleeps late at night.

For me, the best and natural treatment for eye bags is just to sleep properly every night and to maintain proper health. You should sleep at least eight hours every night, so that the eyes do not look puffy when you wake up in morning. Also, you must eat all healthy foods like green vegetables and fresh fruits so that  your overall health that includes your skin will also improve.
