Collagen for Vegetarians (Kiwi AC+)

In line with getting healthier, I am starting to move towards vegetarianism. I used to be a regular collagen consumer but not when I have become a vegetarian.  

Certain collagen tablets are fish, pig, chicken or cow based. I avoid these products major reason is because I typically feel that eating animals directly or indirectly promotes animal cruelty. Furthermore, some sources of collagen actually bring on an allergic reaction in me, especially shellfish.

So I struggled to find a collagen that is for vegetarian. Then, here come the angel.... Nicole, delivered a pack of Kiwi AC+ (10 sachets) to me. And she packed it in a lovely way, awesome! I just couldn't wait to unwrap it *teehee*

What is Kiwi AC+ (Japan Top Selling!)
Kiwi AC+ is a natural beauty drink designed from Japan to fight against Asian skin’s troubles. Perfectly balances sebum secretion, while enhances the anti oxidization and anti inflammation properties, giving the most natural solution to clear the acne, refines open pores, lightens post acne marks/scars and strengthen skin’s immunity and self repair. The secret of Japanese porcelain skins! 日本祛痘の秘法,パーフェクトレシピ

And how this product is essentially different from other similar products is that Kiwi AC+ accumulates the functional actives at least 10 times concentrated than normal golden kiwi fruit, acerola cherry, pomegranate, pineapple and red beets. 

Why are these ingredient important?

1. You might not able to consume and adsorb the fresh fruit at this high quantity; meanwhile the sugar level in fruits might become another concern as well.
2. Without Vitamin C, collagen cannot be absorbed and fully function. Besides that, Vitamin C also the precursor for collagen production in our body. Even Kiwi Ac+ doesn't contain any collagen ingredients, but still able to activate your body to produce collagen itself. 

Although just 10 sachets (last me 7 days), as an add on to my daily skin care regime, I can already feel that my skin condition is getting better. Less breakout and less tired looking dull skin. Especially reduce on skin inflammatory which has annoyed me for more than couple months. I feel more confident now even if without make-up.

As mentioned, this product extracted the concentration of the fruits. For those who are afraid of fishiness since collagen is mainly derived from fish (scale and skin), this is a good news! Also, it would be the alternative beauty natural fruit drink for vegetarians.

You can read more about Kiwi AC+ and purchase from here. You will be amazed with this product!

Bobble Bottle Review

Water is our daily essential needs. Poor me, drink only certain brands of bottled water for its taste. It's kinda annoying furthermore it's expensive too. And bcoz of this, I didn't drink much water when I was outside.Water from water dispenser in the office isn't great too bcoz I don't like the taste of it that much. When its hot, I don't mind but still doesn't like it. I always wanted to find a solution for myself that tastes good and is better for the environment so everyone wins! 

I heard about Bobble Bottle that designed by Karim Rashid for long long time ago (when I was in college?!). Initially, I was attracted by its design but now more on its functionality. It is a reusable water bottle that has an activated charcoal filter in the spout. This solves my problem of providing the idea of clean and better tasting water. Yet to be perfect, but at least I could achieve healthier lifestyle by the amount of water that I'm consuming now.

 

While at a local store one day, I was planning to get myself a new set of cutlery. Before I leave, something caught my eyes....One whole side of colorful pop-top water bottles! Awww....so lovely. I stepped forward and picked up one of this colorful tucked away top water bottle. OMG~~~~~~ OMG~~~ OMG~~~ It's the Bobble Bottle that had its own built-in filter.

The packaging that the Bobble Bottle comes in claims that each filter is good for 300 bottles of filtered water. Also note, I don't like how we currently use plastics for disposable goods since plastics can last forever. The point of plastic was to create low cost, long life products so throwing them away is hurting the environment since its never going to go away in a life time. The bottle itself is made of clear recycled plastic that has been FDA approved for human consumption. It doesn't have that new scary BPA chemical too. Let's  make the world cleaner & better!

I knew this was too good to be true and I have to admit that it's kinda pricey, but it worth every single cent you pay for it. This bottle will not only quench your thirst, but be a walking testament of possibility and global solutions where ever you go! It could be a conversation starter which will lead to awareness!! Just imagine telling everyone that “Not only these bottles are beautifully designed, they’re also BPA-free, made of recycled plastic, and have a built-in carbon water filter that means you can kick your bottled water habit to the curb and fill up on clean H2O on the go”. Hence, I've got one for myself. *mad happy*

 

And finally, I could say goodbye to funny taste water!!!

Meiji Amino Collagen (Premium) - Review

I always have to work late, especially during onsite duty and sitting in the air-conditioned room like more than 8 hours, my skin became very dry. And I didn't realize how terrible that I look like, till my colleagues told me so. Ahh...how could it be?! (sounds like I'm gonna lose my dignity with da face) And I was so worry...

I've been applying lotsa masks and skin care product... Well, it does help. But let's say I'm gonna attend a function in coming weekend?! These wouldn't work me wonder in a couple days and time is ticking...

I always heard people talking about Collagen. So, I went to Shojiki-ya and grabbed myself a tin of Meji  Amino Collagen (Premium). Why the tin? Bcoz it comes with the measuring spoon that allow you to consume an adequate amount to be taken daily. Nevertheless, I was also recommended by the shopkeeper to purchase the tin packaging first, even though it comes with lesser consumption days. 

Although the label says it's tasteless . But somehow, it tastes like a fish to me. Kinda fishy! So, what I did, is to mix it with fruit juice or milo to cover up the smell and taste and drink it with an empty stomach before I go to bed. You know?! The best thing about Meiji Amino Collagen is that it can be served with hot water, without spoiling the properties of the collagen structure. 

Not sure about others, but for my case... I saw the effect on the next day..my face become more moisture and brighter. And after consuming 1 weeks continuously, you can see there's a change:

BEFORE: Can tell that how terrible was my skin even though I've put on make up, it still couldn't cover up my tiredness on my face. 

AFTER: I don't even have to put on make up to snap a picture!

It's not a dramatical change like undergo a plastic skin surgery but a definite improvement is seen on me. 

This "MUST HAVE" product is now available in Shojiki-ya (Japanese grocery shop in Malaysia). It costs about RM250 with the tin packaging. You might think it's pricey (hell yeh, it's pricey), but you will find it worthy after trying it!

p/s: This is also a way how a Japanese to maintain their good skin complexion.

Bcoz of this reason, so I have decided to dye myself!

So here I went to a local pharmacy to get the dye potion.

And I was so excited...

Initially, I was trying to do it by myself. After a while, I found it very difficult to do it by myself. Thus, I asked a little help from my 11-year-old brother---Clevert.

You know what?! At the end, the outcome of my hair color.....is like...."invisble"????!?!??!?!

It doesn't show what I want. FML

This product is so let-down.

I swear to myself, I'll never try this product at all!
