There are many good resources on how to lightened the dark patch in the underarms. Many articles claimed that by rubbing lemon juice will help but according to dermatologists, this may do more harm.

There is an option of using coconut oil to get rid of dark underarms. Coconut oil contains vitamin E that can help lighten the underarms. Just massage the area with coconut oil and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Wash off with mild soap and lukewarm water. Repeat these steps 2 or 3 times daily until result is achieved.

The time of the year has arrived.  In another 2 more weeks, the long school holidays will began.  I am thinking of getting my daughter’s class teachers a gift each.  I was at Pinterest and saw many great ideas on what to get and how to wrap them.  They are so inspiring.  A friend suggested that I shop Shari’s Berries baskets for the teachers.  Shari’s Berries baskets are great too.  Even I would love to receive one, especially the Spa Gift Basket.

What causes bloating?

barbara

Do you feel bloated and heavy most of the time?   If yes then most probably you are carrying excess water weight.  Do you know that one of the biggest reasons for bloating is water weight.  People have excess water in their system because of consuming too much salt.  Our kidneys hold in urine to neutralize the sodium flowing in our system and our cell.  The best way to reduce water weight is to use natural diuretic and supplementing the diet with food such as onions, carrots, cucumbers, melons and more.  To learn more, head over to Naturaldiuretics.net.

Lose Weight With Arctic Gym

barbara

A friend of mine has been dieting and exercising for the past 3 months. She has recently lost about 5kg and her target is to lose 6kg.  She’s doing such a great job and is an inspiration to people like me who are trying to lose weight.  My friend said she has been using The Arctic Gym to keep fit.  It is a video game which detects movements and measures the performance and fitness progress.  It comes with a mat with thirty pressure sensitive pads with sensors to detect the feet and body positions.  There are three preset exercise modes to choose from – muscle workout, aerobics and yoga.   I think I will buy the top diet pills and The Arctic Gym to shed some kilos.

My husband snores a lot and sometimes it disturbs my sleep.  A friend of mine recommends the Cpap Chin Strap from HarrietCarter.com.  The Chin Strap is soft and stretchy.  It holds the jaw up and keeps the mouth closed while sleeping.  This will enable better breathing and improved airflow.  The adjustable strap fits snugly and comfortably.  Perhaps my husband can give this a try.  Keeping my fingers crossed.
