Christmas Celebration in Yuzu Restaurant The Garden

Christmas is always my dream, the first came to my mind is romantic light dinner, snow man, Christmas tree and Santa Claus. I was so enjoyed my early Christmas celebration with all my good friends. They are my old schoolmates and it was so good to see them again. Most of them are married with children. Me? Well, I am still single, enjoy being single at the moment.

We had a great fun and nice dinner in Yuzu restaurant where it located in The Garden, Malaysia. It was my first time having the dinner there but I can tell you that the foods are really delicious. Each of us has ordered different set of dinner and I picked the seafood set after all. The size serving is still good for me, if you have a big appetite like my friend do, I suggest you can try add on the side dishes such as Chawan Mushi, Sushi, Agedashi Tofu, Sashimi, and their signature fresh imported fish from Kyushu Island and Hokkaido, Japan.

Journey to clear skin

Waking up to a huge acne bump in the morning is a total nightmare. A sudden breakout can cause a lot of embarrassment, especially when you have an important date or event to attend. Most probably you do not feel like getting out of the house or being seen.

Breakouts can take a toll on one's self-esteem and other psychosocial issues such as depression and anxiety. For a long-lasting solution, you should resolve the problem from within. Give your body the right nutrients it needs rather than slathering it with harsh topical creams or taking oral medications such as antibiotics and birth control pills. They may improve your skin condition but at the same time they can cause unwanted side effects.

Herbal remedy offers a natural alternative to healing breakouts, revealing clear and healthy skin from the inside out. Unlike the chemical-laden acne treatment, herbal formula comes from natural sources, thus, it is generally milder and safer for long-term consumption. Horsetail, licorice, burdock, yellow dock and turmeric have been traditionally used to fight off acne. These herbs work synergistically to heal from within, from detoxifying the blood, to killing acne-causing bacteria, managing inflammation and rejuvenating the skin.

Take control of your breakouts before it interferes wth your life. A natural regime, coupled with a healthy dietary and lifestyle tweak, will bring about improvement not only in your skin, but also in your overall confidence.

Your skin needs consistent care through healthy diets and lifestyle practices. "Amazing all-natural clear skin breakthrough permanently eliminates acne without drugs, creams or over the counters. Stop wasting money on pills, gels, and other worthless quick fix cures… Learn the truth about acne once and for all and finally get the LASTING clear skin you deserve:" Click Here --> Acne No More!

Tips for Great Skin to Your Face

Your face is exposed to the elements all day long. This means sun, dirt and other hazards that cause wrinkles and pimples. For smooth skin, follow these simple tips.

1. Don't exfoliate too often. When you've been stuck in a traffic jam and you're feeling a bit grubby, it's natural to reach for that lovely creamy wash with the cleaning grains. However, if you do this every day, you will run the risks of irritating your skin. Keep the grains to once or twice a week, and use a gentler cleanser the rest of the week.

2. Moisturiser in the morning and at night. Stress, pollution and other factors dry out the skin. Just after you've had your morning and evening shower is a perfect time to apply moisturiser. Put some on your face, and while it's soaking in, do the rest of your body. Pay extra attention to your neck, elbows and ankles as these exposed parts are the first to become scaly.

3. Have tuna for lunch. This fish contains essential fatty acids, which is excellent for reducing inflammation that spurs fine lines and redness. Avoid soaking your tuna in mayonnaise. A good mix is lots of lettuce, fresh tomato, bell pepper, crunchy oinion and a drizzle of sun-dried tomato dressing or raspberry vinaigrette if you're in the mood for sweet.

4. Start and end the day by chugging water. As more than half of our bodies are made up of water, the whole system begins to falter when we become dehydrated. Coffee and tea contain water but it's not the same as plain. Make sure your system is properly lubricated by starting and ending every day with a long drink of water. Hot or cold doesn't matter.

De-stress and tone up with a good swim

Swimming is a great exercise because it involves lots of muscle groups. Also, as you're supported by water, you're less likely to get injuries such as sore knees from pounding the pavement as you jog or scrapes from falling over when you playing football.

To make the most of your swim, check out these tips.

1. Wear proper gear. You can go in a clean T-shirt and shorts but water will weigh you down. A swimsuit is designed to work efficiently in water.

2. Go when it's quiet. When there are many kids squeling and jumping. It's hard to do laps or relax. Figure out when you can get the pool to yourself.

3. Warm up by stretching. Swimming is a low-impact exercise but you'll be using lots of muscles, so prevent cramps and injuries by warming up before you take the plunge.

4. A front crawl looks great and feels energetic but actually, a breast stroke is generally more intensive - although not as impressive. An advantage is that you can keep your head above water and see where you're going.

5. Swim a couple of slow laps where you make a point of stretching to improve flexibility and then a few fast laps to get the blood flowing. Then work a few medium-faced laps to energise yourself and work on your muscle tone by keeping that workout glow going.

6. Finish by floating on your back for five minutes and meditating. If you're the type to doze off while you float, hook and ankle on the side so you don't bump into other swimmers.

P.S. Don't forget your waterproof sunscreen. Apply half an hour before going to the pool so it soaks in and stays on.

BEST RECOMMENDATION! Waterproof Sunscreen with BEST PROTECTION under the SUN

Eating Tips for Weight Loss

Want to lose some weight and get back into the healthy shape of your younger years?

There is no substitute for a comprehensive diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in fats and sugars. However, if you're looking to start a new life with bit of quick weight loss to boost your morale and motivation, check out these tips:

Sleep
If you're feeling tired, you tend to move about less during the day. This translates into fewer calories burned. Studies show that people who sleep fewer than six hours a night are 27% more likely to become obese, so make sure you get enough rest by sleeping an average of eight hours a night.

Eat a lot
If you starve yourself, you will find yourself loading up on junk food that is not only filing but also fattening. Make sure you have plenty of low-fat, low-sugar food and fill up on these whenever ou start to feel hungry.

Consider simple and tasty options such as whole wheat toast, unsweetened muesli, low-fat yoghurt, fruit salad made up of papaya, apple, banana and melon as well as raw vegetable treats such as carrots, cooked pumpkin nd tomatoes.

Eat with class
Restaurant owners have known for years that sitting in brightly lit places with high energy yellow and red furnture encourages people to eat and leave quickly.

On the other hand, low lights and soothing colours such as blue and fawn encourage customers to linger. Scientists have discovered that sitting down adn taking your time also leads to better portion contorl. So when you eat, sit down, relax and enjoy your meal. If you use a smaller plate, you can also fool yourself into being satisfied with less.

Poor Vision is no longer a geriatric health problem

Today's technology-driven society has exposed the younger generation to "Chronic Eyes Fatigue Syndrome", where they are constantly around the computer and video games.

Age-related eye diseases which are now afflicting younger adults may be linked to the effects of a technology-driven society and a lack of nutrition for eye protection.

Nutritional solution for healthier eyes

Numerous scientific and clinical studies have emphasised the importance of proper nutrition in the maintenance of eye health. The followings are some of the key nutrients which are well studied for the maintenance fo a good and healthier vision: -Bilberry: antioxidant for eye health

Bilberry's active constituent is the anthocyanosides, which provides a variety of protective effects for the eyes. These bioflavonoids strengthen the structural integrity of the tiny capillaries that deliver nutrients to the eyes, and help prevent free radical damage to the delicate structures within the eye.
-Natural source of lutein and zeaxanthin: marigold, wolfberry and dunalliela salina

Lutein and zeaxanthin are found exclusively in the macula lutea of the eye and protect the eyes against oxidative damage. Low retinal lutein and zeaxanthin concentrations are shown to be a risk factor for eye problems. -Eyebright

Eyebright is used for relieving eye problems such as eye strain or tired eyes.

Biogrow OPTIbrite offers you a nutritional solution for healthier eyes. It comes with a five-in-one comprehensive formulation which consists of marigold that provides you with the natural source of lutein and zeaxanthin, bilberry, wolfberry, eyebright and dunaliella.

It is beneficial for computer users, individuals who read a lot, drive long hours, exposed to UV rays, watch TV for long hours, and those with fatigue, strained and watery eyes.

Simple Swaps for better health

Processed food is easy and fast but it's often blended with extra, salt, and sugar. These ingredients make it taste great but too much can lead t health problems such as obesity, diabetes and tooth decay.

Here are some easy swaps that will improve your diet and general health. Make an effort at first to apply them and once they become a habit, you'll feel better for it.

Instead of chocolate chip cookies with your morning coffee, mash a banana into fresh yoghurt. The twist? Place in the freezer and stir with a fork when half frozen for a delicious treat.

You will be replacing sugar and fat with vitamins and fibre and cutting roughly three-quarters of the calories.

Replace fried noodles and fried rice with oats and fresh fruit for breakfast. You will be replacing fat and salt with healthy fibre and lots of vitamins.

Instead of drinking packaged iced tea that's loaded with sugar during lunch, go for fresh green tea that has none.

Alternatively, make your own iced tea so you can control the sugar. And don't use liquid sugar - it's too easy to overdo it.

For a simple treat, wash grapes, dry them, put them in a plastic bag and freeze them. Eat them instead of boiled or packaged sweets.

The fruit's just as sweet but contains less than a quarter of the calories and has vitamin C, too. For dinner, exchange white steamed rice with steamed brown rice.

The brown rice is unprocessed so it takes your body longer to digest, making you feel satisfied longer. And a bonus is that it has roughly half the calories.

Time will stop for one second 30 June 2015

2015 is not a leap year, but it does have a leap second, set to take place Tuesday (June 30) at 7:59:60 p.m. EDT (23:59:60 GMT). "Earth's rotation is gradually slowing down a bit, so leap seconds are a way to account for that," Daniel MacMillan of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, said in a statement. Ask any person the length of a day, and she'll say 24 hours, which equates to 86,400 seconds. But the time it takes for Earth to rotate on its axis relative to the sun, called a mean solar day (or the average length of a day) is roughly 86,400.002 seconds. This happens because Earth's rotation is slowing down, thanks to a kind of braking force caused by the gravitational tug of war among Earth, the sun and the moon, researchers at NASA said.

The astronomers at the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service keep track of the difference between astronomical time and atomic time. They call for a leap second to be added whenever Earth's observed position is on track to be out of sync with UTC time by more than 0.9 of a second. Leap seconds traditionally are added on June 30 or Dec. 31. Because they are unpredictable, leap seconds can cause headaches for tech companies who cannot build them into their code the way they do with leap years. In the past, LinkedIn, Google and Reddit have all experienced problems caused by leap seconds. In addition, it is not clear that leap seconds are really essential. Even if the difference in astronomical time and atomic time grew by one second every year, in 100 years the gap would be less than two minutes. In 1,000 years, it would be off by less than 17 minutes. But it could be unsettling. Eventually. And besides, couldn't we all use a little more time?

Cesar Millan's Live Show in Kuala Lumpur

Wow, I was so exciting finally can meet him in person. His first Dog Whisperer live show was held in Plenary Hall KLCC on the date of 30th May 2015, 7.30pm. I get to buy 2 tickets online for RM395.00 (USD 98.15) each and my chosen seat is quite close to the stage. We reached early an hour before the show starts, we were the first to enter inside hall. As a popular television host like him, he is really a nice person that I ever met. We have been waiting for over an hour at the backstage for a picture with him. While waiting for him, we decided to ask some crews who is on duty there about when and which door Cesar will leave from. No one is telling us the true answer, they seemed to be unclear or pretend don't know about it. They should know all the planned which has been prepared by the organiser. So we are trying to wait outside for a chance to meet Cesar Millan. For those who has the special pass will get the greater chance to greet him and take picture with him even for his signature. When we are about to leave, unexpectedly Cesar Millan come out from the backstage door and he is friendly offered us to take picture with him.

Balance

Many people when they hear the word balance think of a scale making sure that both sides are equal. Instead, think of it more in terms of a budget having a balanced budget.

There are three things that you can do to better maintain a time balance. First at all, understand the truth of time. The truth of time is there are only 24 hours in a day.

Sharp Air Purifier Review FP-E50E-W

Quality air wanted!
Why do we need a clean air or quality air? Of course everybody needs that. If we breathe dirty air, we are more likely to develop health problems and become ill. I don't have running nose but my nose is very sensitive to odor and smell of dust. Many scents that are just normal to other people like perfume, body odors and others. Scents that are very strong are totally overpowering and unbearable to me especially odors from garbage and cigarette smoke. The smells sometimes are just too strong will make me feel nausea and hard to breath.

Any natural remedies? I knew Cordyceps sinensis would help for soothe your lungs for the treatment of fatigue and respiratory disease. Personally had tried it and the results are seen very good. You can buy it in any Chinese medical shop and boil it with slow cooker in 4 hours. Or buy the capsules type for the most convenient form. As for me, I used to buy TIMO Codyceps King which recommended by the pharmacist and I feel much better after consumed it 2 years. (1 capsule per day in the morning).
