Fasting


pic source: here

舊文重見天日﹐ 再談斷食 ( Fasting ), 這其實很富宗教色彩﹐ 尤其Muslim﹐他們每個新年前都會齋戒, 不過這不在我想在這裡說的。 很懶﹐ 很忙。 以下是我在2008 年七八月寫的 (在私有化的BLOG中)﹐ 當時的心情和現在的也不一樣。 不過可以的話﹐ 應該久不久來一次Fasting 。

I ended up having dinner alone ………………………………………………………………………………………………

.....................................

When I had read an article about Fasting in the INmagazine, it actually tells there’re so many benefits of fasting in it. Such as it helps to improve skin condition, helps to release toxins in your body, losing weight etc. What’s more? It actually helps to improve the quality of sleep as detoxification process makes you tired and sleepy. After fasting, your blood circulation enhanced and curing ability will be improved. And it helps to slow down aging as well.

And the idea of fasting come out my mind, I decided to have my first time fasting, not because to lose weight or what. But I do really want to have a brand new me. Cos I had read this quote: ‘ the negative thoughts and memories like hatred, guilty and anger will be washed out of your mind just like toxins relieving your soul from all these negative feelings.’

After I read thru the whole article, it says there’re 5 ways of Fasting. Which are;

1. Half- fast , means eating half of your normal proportion
2. Fruit fast
3. juice fast
4. soup fast
5. water fast.

I guess the level of difficulty comes with the larger the number. And I decided to have a fasting of combination of 2 and 3. But I am not going to drink fruit juice or vegetable juice. But something I can buy easily from supermarket such as milk or soymilk. I wish I can do it for 5 days.

And these will be my meals the coming days. The candies are for my bites when I feel so hungry. They contain glucose which is for instant energy. I will also have Organic Fresh Soymilk no sugar ( it tastes awful, I had drank a cup ) , Wheat Grass Juice ( tastes nice…yum yum~ ) Hi- cal Milk. I wish these drinks will last for 2 – 3 days consume. Of course I will have other fruits or vegetable to eat as well.

剛剛看到美容雜誌又談斷食。 對於那個瑜珈搭配半斷食好有興趣﹐ 最好有個Long Vocation 再飛去印度進行就好~! 不過我現在afford 不起這種奢侈。

特意剪存﹐ 如果你有興趣﹐Download 落來慢慢研究呀~!

來自古印度的Ayurveda

pic

源於五千年的古印度﹐ Ayurveda是印度傳統的医學及養生學﹐ 和Yoga 不可分割﹐ 互相關連。我們練yoga來達至身心平衡﹐關懷心靈和情緒。而Ayurveda便能關懷身體的健康與美麗。

(Ayur)意即生命,而(Veda)指的是知識或者科學。這門古老卻不受時空侷限的生命科學,說身體是靠三大支柱維繫──風型、火型、土型(Vata, Pitta and Kapha)﹐而這三大支柱是由五大元素──地eath 水water 火fire風air空space所構成。這五大元素的精微平衡若受干擾便形成疾病﹐因此,Ayurveda透過草本配方 (其中一種) ﹐使用印度特產香料植物來調養體質,使之達到平衡狀態﹐護理身體和健康。



剛巧今天經過WATSONS﹐便進去搜奇﹐看看有什么好買。然後﹐竟然給我發現這個有機草本牌子JOVEES﹐ packaging很簡陋的樣子﹐但我喜歡﹐那好像在印尼那些supermarket賣的本土護理產品。起初﹐我以為這是國內新牌子。我像發現奇珍的樣子﹐拿來試上手﹐香味很濃烈呢~﹐ 很exotic的香氣﹐又是我很喜歡呢! 細看之下﹐才知道是Made in India的Ayurveda based skincare and hair care。 Made in India wor~~你敢不敢用? 其實這是用創新科技和古老的印度草本配方來制造的。 還通過多個品質檢定測試﹐ 分別為 ISVQA﹐ EGAP﹐ CODEX 和WHO。 原來除了WATSONS﹐ Three Sixty 也有售﹐ 雖放在開架的地方﹐ 但價錢絕不開架﹐ 一個Mask 也要三百多。 難怪像沒人問津。





所以我決定以身試法﹐ 親身試。 請期待我的review~!

還有﹐如果買了整套JOVEES skincare products, 還可以自己在家做Ayurveda Spa~! Jovees 有個spa menu 可參考~!

yoga nite + nail polish + Guerlain


Went to practice yoga again last nite, and I didn’t book it…so go to a random class which match my time. The lesson I attended is Satyananda. Which is found by Paramahamsa Satyananda Saraswati and it is the World’s First Yoga University. Again, this is not a too harsh lesson, ( but I still can’t handle some posts well lor~~ >.<) this is suitable for beginners who needs a basic understanding of Asana ( posture) , Pranayama ( breathing) and Shavasana ( relaxation). Ok.....most type of yoga are for these three aspects I have to say. I was so tired after that, because was so hungry, i just ate a little for my lunch yesterday…. So back home for dinner asap… And last nite, also painted my nails again…I kept my nail bare without anything on top of it for so long…just being lazy~!

This picture shows what I used:

Step 1: paint the Elianto base coat for 1 layer…wait it till dry
Step 2: paint this Skinfood Jojoba Pure Nail (pk001) , one layer only for this time…. Mostly the best result shall be 2 layers… wait to dry again…
Step 3: I used this Mavadry as a top coating… it helps to drying nail faster and prevent smudging…


finish~!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
