How I lost 5.1" just by sleeping

CNY is coming and I'm sure most of our houses are stocked up with CNY goodies already! (As I'm typing this post, I'm eating one of them T.T )

During this festive season, I believe it is unavoidable that we might gain more weight/inches around our body.
I was invited to Suddenly slender's launch last November and introduced to their new treatment- Ionithermie Body Contouring(IBC).

Benefits of IBC:

• Clinically proven results: Smoother skin texture and reduced measurements
• Defines upper abdominal muscles and improves contour
• Activates the Trans Versus Abdominus (TVA).
• Excellent for post natal re-establishment of muscle tone.
• Aids circulation and lymphatic drainage 
• Reduces water retention and the appearance of cellulite
• Lifts, smoothens and tones the quadriceps
• Inch loss of up to 8 inches per treatment
• Detoxifies the body

Model trying out IBC

We were then given a small amount of thermal aroma mask to try out its texture.
It dried up quite quickly and left a refreshing touch on my skin.

We were all given a goodie bag during the event!

The event was very well organised and got me anticipating for my treatment in December!

Headed to the Yishun branch because it was nearest to my house!

The wide array of essential oils

I was brought to the consultation room whereby I needed to fill up my particulars and some of my usual habits!

Cozy lighting yay

Excited!!

My treatment room!

Had to change into a bath robe and take a steam bath for about 20 minutes. Quite glad that I did not put on thick makeup that day because they really will melt inside the room!

After the steam bath, I was lead to another room whereby the thermal aroma mask(as mentioned above) was applied on the target areas.

It is a conductive heating clad which heats and and gives us a relaxing feel. By placing it on the target areas, it will accelerate blood circulation, improve lymphatic flow and also relax the muscles.

Some wires were also attached to the mask whereby Iontophoresis was carried out. The non-invasive electrical stimulation will facilitate in the penetration of the active ingredients into the skin layer.


The mask was to be put on for 20 minutes but I think I fell asleep because I only remembered the staff coming into the room to put the mask and within "less than a minute", they came back saying they wanna remove the mask.
I guess this just shows how comfortable the treatment was that I fell into such a deep slumber.

My measurements were taken after the treatment again and I lost a total of 5.1" and about 400 grams!

I think that the results are quite amazing in just a session!

Of course, mine was not the most incredible one!
IBC has gone through seven (7) years of clinical researches and trials. The results indicate from 1" up to 8" inches loss in the treated areas of the body on 96% of the subjects.

Hi there!

How many of you have "getting fit" as your new year resolution?
I had "Exercise more and stop being fat." so I guess thats somewhat the same thing.

I was glad to visit Croyez (Pronounced as "krwah-yay") to try out their PowerPlates! 



Only 10 minutes away from Orchard MRT, and a hop and skip away from some of Singapore's luxurious amenities, this exclusive studio is perfect for those of you who want to work out with a view. 

Croyez is the first to bring Power Plate® group workouts to Singapore and it is currently the largest Power Plate®-centric studio in Asia.

"Power plates uses the principles of Acceleration Training™ to stimulate the body's natural response to vibration. These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second, enhancing overall performance in sessions as short as 15 minutes a day, 3 times a week."

Before workout

I was excited to hear that the vibrations from the Powerplate will stimulate all the muscles in the body to work even when you are, for example, only exercising your arms.
Its like wow! I'm only moving my arms and I am somehow exercising even my legs?!


Some other benefits of Powerplates: 

1.immediate improvement in blood circulation

2.increased muscle strength and flexibility

3.improved range of motion, decreased cellulite 

4.increased bone mineral density

5.reduced pain and soreness

6.faster recovery

We were all given a 40 minutes workout session which consist of warmups, workout and massage session. 
Even though 40 minutes sound short for a workout, it is just right for a workout infused with Powerplate! 

Candid with an unflattering angle and determined expression

We tried out P box workout session which moves were inspired by Muay Thai, Taebo, Body Combat & MMA.
Had loads of fun during the workout session!
I was regretting most of the time to have chosen a 1kg dumbbell(though I think its one of the lightest dumbbells there) because my arms were so sore just after 10 minutes(shows how much I lack exercise).

The music were upbeat and definitely set us all in the mood for some intense workout!
After exercising, the Powerplate can even be used to massage and help our body in faster recovery!
Enjoyed the massaging session so much and it felt super good :D

Happiness after 40 minutes of workout

Insadong Korea Town

Headed to Insadong Korea Town @ Resorts World Sentosa for food tasting about three weeks ago!

Insadong Korea Town offers over 200 types of authentic Korean, Korean-chinese, Korean-Western, Korean-Japanese cuisine and a variety of street food!

Insadong Korea Town is designed to be a replica of the famous Insadong Korea Street, one of the most memorable attractions in Seoul and represents the focal point of Korean traditional cuisine.

Another unique point of Insadong Korea Town is that you get to order your food using a self order kiosk!

After eating, if you want to shop for korean merchandise, accessories or souvenirs, you can do so at their retail carts too!

Retail shops

After exploring the place, dinner was served!!

Kimchi Pancake

The kimchi pancake was my favourite dish of the night because it was flavourful and had crunchy kimchi bits in it!

Ginseng Chicken Soup

Yumm!

Loved the ginseng chicken soup too because it was so thick and creamy!!

Bossam

I did not want to dirty my hands so I tried to eat my bossam with chopsticks. The in charge of the restaurant came and told me that I was the first person she saw to eat bossam so 温柔-ly LOL. Luckily, they prepared wet tissues so I had no reason not to not enjoy my bossam the right way anymore!

Toppoki

Watermelon Soju!

This is such a cool way to enjoy watermelons!! (no pun intended)
I would recommend all of you to get this as your drink because it gave me two opposing sensations in a just a mouthful! Refreshing in your mouth yet warm when you swallow it because of the soju!

cheers!

Selfie while waiting

Have to admit that I got a little impatient halfway because everybody wanted to take photos of the food before eating and I was really excited to try out the food immediately. To be able to see delicious food and not eat them was a little hard for me :p

Pumpkin Spaghetti

Mushroom Beef Bulgogi Hotpot

After cooking and mixing

Beef Bulgogi Baked Rice

We were told to eat mix our baked rice into the hotpot and I kept wondering why such a weird combination.. But it turned out to be a great choice because the rice tasted heavenly!!

Love at first bite!

Red Bean Pancake

Then we were given a J-cone! Started to camwhore with it because everybody seems to do that whenever they get a J-cone :p

Did not really fancy the taste of it though! I prefer the mixed fruit shaved ice much more! 

Mixed Fruits Shaved Ice

It had generous servings of all my favourite fruits and even though I felt super super full already, I still wanted to have more of it! Desserts are super important in my life :DD

Do remember to grab a bowl of it during your visit to Insadong Korea Town!
