Head to Toe Wedding Preparation (before its too late!)

[shrek250190]

Hi mga sis.  dahan dahan lang sa pagpapapayat baka masobrahan.hehe.  naramdaman kasi namin un dati na puro diet lang parang yung skin namin is naging dry (di balance).  Ngayon kami ni bride 3x a week natakbo after work.  mga 6km to 10km...core exercise is good.  it strengthens and tone lots of body parts.  For the food intake naman green vegetables and fruits ang best and lean meats and fish para balance pa din.less rice. more water. :-)

^ naku bro ahaha saludo naman ako sa discipline na ganyan. Ang sarap kasi kumain! Hahaha. Im not fat, i am 5'3 and 52kg. My prob is my puson and tummy. Super hilig ko kasi noon sa softdrinks and i eat rice before i sleep after night shifts, and its a lot talaga. Imagine the pagod of a night work tapos pagkauwi eh masarap ang tinapa at mga pork sinangag itlog! Ahahaha 

Ngayon those habits were omitted na, no more softdrinks, very rare na talaga, then no more rice before i sleep. Once a day nalang ako magrice minsan haf cup sa lunch ska haf sa dinner.

Sabi pa kasi ng MIL ko, "ang life hindi na patagalan, pasarapan". 
Katwiran yan ng ayaw magdiet, ayaw mag exercise, ahahaha.

for those who are unable to go to the gym, here is my workout playlist on youtube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzFGsuaYiyuioZacOmjPFVdvmQdxUVTxr

you guys can totally give it a try. most of them are 10-minute routines that are easy to follow but do the work so well! i love anna (pop sugar fitness) and cassie (blogilates) so much. it's like having your own personal instructors at home 

what i do is choose 3-4 routines to do at the end of the day. you don't have to follow all of them in one session. take it slow and easy.

Sis juwie.. try to shift to brown rice or basmati.. less glycemic index. It helped me a lot. We love rice kasi.

[juwie]

Thanks sis belle! I can eat without rice naman, good thing hindi ako talaga dependent sa rice when I eat, minsan ok lang na wala 😊

Oh and when i want to lose weight I drink lots and lots and lots of water!

[hermione28]

I agree with shrek250190 - baka masobrahan naman at magkasakit before the wedding. Wag naman.

Thanks sis 120515 sa link, I'll try it and let's see!

Isa pa palang concern ko, sorry medyo kaartehan nalang ata to.
Yung hands ko kasi hindi naman dry, hindi matigas pero wrinkled sya. Parang pang matanda.
Actually mula baby ako ganto na to, pero I don't care. Ngayon lang na naisip kong kukunan sya ng pics with my engagement and wedding ring. Ang pangit kasi talaga.

Parang ganto, tignan nyo tong baby hands na to, ganyan na baby palang ako, tapos hanggang ngayon, di na nabatak yung skin.

Mas wrinkled pa dito yung hands ko

Gagana kaya sa hands yung ani wrinkle cream sa face?
Also I was thinking of getting a radio frequency treatment sa hands, I'm not sure kung may ganun, kasi diba skin tightening yun, dami kasi excess skin kaya wrinkled.

[120515]

hermione28, we have the same problem with the hands. my hands are also wrinkly. when i sent a photo of my engagement ring on my hand, my friend asked why my hand looked like an old person's (he's a loose cannon so him saying things like these don't bother me anymore )

i figured i'll just keep my hands ina semiclosed position when i have the ring photographed to stretch the skin

[rightback]

hello! definitely joining this thread. i have the same problem though--how to lighten underarms and losing weight.

for the meantime i'm eating normally until i have my measurements taken around next month. then goes my routine of eliminating the "bad carbs" from my diet--so sticking to brown rice, wheat bread but lean protein, veggies and fruits. trying to lessen my soda intake. so far from almost daily last week i only had like 2 glasses this week. playing football every week--good thing we have training and competing for now. i'll probably stop around a month before para walang pasa yung legs ko hehe. will try to add once a week yoga for now. baka maging twice na if malapit na.

as for the underarms--i have no idea what to do with it. so far i'm not shaving. just waxing but it definitely needs treatment. and ang pricey ng laser hair removal. does calamansi really work?

[jonapee]

Hi sis @rightback , try Mendez, they have promo for IPL now. 12 session for 3000. Nag-avail na ko ng iba nilang promo like diamond peel and glutathione. Then next is IPL also as a part of my wedding preparation. 

[hermione28]

sis 120515 - ganun nalang siguro. wala naman talaga atang treatment for this. haha. Basta mula ng mapansin ko like a week ago, every night before going to bed I use body scrub to wash my hands, tapos anti wrinkle cream. Baka mag effect sya since 2017 pa naman ako.


sis rightback - calamansi does work for lighening sis, though it will take time. Hindi ganun kabilis yung effect nya, pero maganda sya, nakakakinis din talaga, tried it dati kaso nung tinamad na, tapos nag sha shave/wax/pluck na ko, ayun, nangitim ulit. If you are masipag talaga, at kung matagal pa naman wedding mo, kaya pa yan!

sis jonappe - ang mura nga sis. Ask ko yung diamond peel and gluthatione para san sya sis? Sa face?

[jonapee]

^yung diamond peel sis for face siya, then gluta is for whitening. 

[_glamorosa]

Hi mga sis! Before i start sharing, id just like to make a disclaimer na im very from being vain. Naging ganto lang ako nun nagstart kami magplan ng wedding. I dont wear make up talaga at i dont exercise. Haha. Im also a morena and prone to breakouts. Sorry if meju mahaba ito.

Below is my prep/regimen (ansabe?!):
1. Diamond peel every month. I noticed na this did the trick of lightening dark pimple marks. Bought dermcare promo of 299/session. Sulit naman. I only bought 6 sessions and will have regular facial na after this month's session.

2. Celeteque moisturizer as alternatjve to cetaphil dahil ang mahal. Dati i dont moisturize kasi oily ako, pero i noticed na mas nakakabata ng skin ang may moisturizer at actually nakabawas ng oiliness ang moisturizer.

3. Body shop tea tree oil. Very potent neto. It dries up zits in matter of a day!

4. Canvassed the most effective way of whitening my ua. Ill be meeting a new derma this june to start lhr and whitening.

5. Gluta and vit c IV. Contrary to popular belief, it doesnt whiten, but it clears our skin and makes it glow as a side effect of cleansing our liver. Nawala chicken skin ko sa siko at tuhod.

6. For 6 months now, im using this miracle soap from the derma of my friend. Paired with the gluta, napakakinis sa skin. Kahit parents ko at sister ko napansin nila na ang ganda ng kutis ko sa pisngi at braso.

Yan muna for now thanks for your patience. Haha

[Maxim04]

Few months to go is our wedding naman! Weeeee!!
I dont do facial at the moment, nor diamond peel. But nagkaron ako ng idea dahil sa post mo sis_glamorosa.

 I am maintaining manuka honey peel, twice a week siya use at home lang. Then daily facial wash with organic soap, then once a day din yung black pearl na soap for the face. For the body, been using kojic soap for 3 years in a row. Its very effective for me. No rebound effect, low maintenance na rin kasi mura. (3 for 99). Then whitening lotion lang everyday for the body, then toner and moisturizer for the face. 

[120515]

good for you, hermione28, you still have about 2 years to work on your hands 

i love exercising because it really de-stresses me (i love endorphins!). i started doing core workouts because i learned that a strong core can lead to an easier pregnancy - i'm already 31 and i want to make sure that i have the best shot at pregnancy.

for the face, i don't really do much. i've already shared in the beauty preps thread that i have a phobia of facials here in sg because i had a breakout after i had one. i've gone back to what i have always done, which was nivea facial wash, toner, gel-based moisturizer, and bb cream in the mornings then i replace the bb cream with st. ives facial scrub at night. every few weeks, i put some honey on my face as a facial mask.

[jonapee]

sis @_glamorosa anong vitc at gluta gamit mo?

[mdnextdoor]

Hi, sharing my so-called regimen too..

I gained weight gradually through the years. When i was 20yo, my weight was 95lbs. I stand 5 flat, by the way. Now that im 31, im at 115 na. Naglose pa ako niyan kasi few months ago, more than 120 ako. Diet na talaga. I alternate boxing with cycling. Ang hirap magpapayat. Almost 2 months na ako nagbobox pero konti pa lang nalolose ko unlike before. Blame it to slow metabolism due to aging.. 😁 

Recently, nagbeach naman kami and sobrang umitim ako. Nagiinject ako sa sarili ko ng gluta ngayon. Hahaha! Laki ng problema ko..

I also went to a derma. I told her na magpapaalaga ako kasi ikakasal ako. Hindi naman ako mapimple to begin with. Once during that time of the month lang.

[hermione28]

sis jonapee mali yung tanong ko, hihi. I mean may diamond peel din kasi diba sa underarms.

sis _glamorosa - i love your tips! thank you! Napaisip ako magpa diamond peel kahit every 2 months lang since malayo pa naman.  Agree ako sa moisturizer, cetaphil gamit ko buti nalang free ko lang nakukuha kasi i work in a pharmaceutical company.

sis mdnextdoor - sis if you don't mind anong klase yung pagpapaalaga sa derma? Alam kong yung mga artista talagang alaga sila. Pero pano tayong normal people lang? Pano ang bayad nun? Diba parang ang mahal? Sorry no idea ako.

[jonapee]

^yes sis, meron din for UA, pero yung inavail ko is for face.

[kateguerzon08]

hi mga sis, pasali naman 

ako naman even before pa, nag-d-dp na sa dermcare (thru metrodeal voucher), so i guess ituloy-tuloy ko lang yun monthly..yun din ua ko, nagpapa-laser na ko way back 2013 pa, naisip ko kase nun time na yun in preparation din sa wedding kahit di pa naman namen napag-planuhan nun at di pa siya nagpo-propose (in-anticipate lang, haha)..prob ko kase is chicken skin and konting lightening na din, so far ok naman result, gusto ko na ituloy sa revlite after..dati din may nightly regimen ako ginagawa sa ua, siko and tuhod, yun pinaghalo-halong milk, honey and calamansi tas ilalagay sa buong katawan esp dun nga sa ua, siko at tuhod, tas rinse ko after 30mins (tyaga lang sa malagkit feeling)..mejo maputi naman ako,  pero yun siko at tuhod ko mejo dark kesa sa complexion ko, yun ang target ko..sa ua, para lang mas kuminis siya..

ang problem ko ngayon is yun dark undereye at weight ko, naglalagay lang ako ng pond's whitening cream sa gabi pero parang di effective kase wala naman nagbabago..nakakapag-jogging naman din ako sa umaga kaso hindi consistent, nakakatamad kase pag mag-isa tapos tamad pa ko gumising ng maaga..

sa hair pala mga sis may ginagawa din kayo? like nagpapahaba ng hair? ako kase nagpapahaba ng hair (dati kase hindi naman)..so umabot na yun hair ko yun lagpas bra sa likod mo, tapos recently may nabili din ako voucher ng hair color, edi go ako, with haircut yun kaso sabi ko trim lang, edi ni-trim kaso ang nangyare mejo naging pantay na yun dulo, layered kase style ng hair ko, pero mukang nun ni-trim niya hindi naman niya ni-layered din, so ayun nga nangyare, nakakalungkot lang..ok naman sana saken na i-trim pero sana sa same style din, ayoko kase ng pantay, mas peg ko ang layered style (sori arte ko lang)..so papahaba na lang ulit ako ng hair..meron bang shampoo or hair products para mabilis humaba ang hair? or yet, meron bang ganon? hihi 

sori kung mahaba na mga nasabi ko, meron pa nga sanang isa pa, kaso nahiya na ko 

[juwie]

Yung isa kong problem.. i sweat execessively sa UA when i'm anxious. Kinakabahan ako sa kasal ko baka ganun din ako. has anyone tried having UA botox? Medyo pricey but I'm contemplating!
