How to take good care of your eyes?


Eyes are the soul of our life. Taking good care of your eyes is definitely important.
1) Exercise your eyeballs
If you spend long hours in front of the computer or reading books. It is very bad for the eyes as our our eyes need to rest too.
- Take a 10 minute break every 2 hours and look at other things. The best is to look outside your house look at the trees and plants.

- Blink your eyes more often.
- Rub both of your hands together until it is abit warm and cover for 1 minute on your eyes. After that, you will feel more refreshed.

2) Drink Milk and eat fruits and vegetables.

Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and carrot are beneficial for our eyes. Eat fruits like Apples, Oranges and Pears every day.
3) Visit Eye Specialist.
People aged 55 onwards should see a eye specialist every year to ensure your eyes are healthy.

Lasik Eye Surgery

I have been considering Lasik Eye Surgery for about 2 years but i hesitated because i am afraid of surgery and my degree is not that bad. A couple of my friends went for Lasik and it really change their lifes. One went for Lasik is because he have to wear helmet when he is driving a bike and one went is because she hate contact lenses and the other one is because her eye sight is really VERY BAD.

Lasik improves their lifes greatly without needing to depend on glasses or contact lenses anymore.

Advantages of Lasik:

  • Painless and Fast Surgery process usually less than 30 mins
  • Achieve a better vision
  • Cornea strength is preserved and vision remains stable after Lasik
  • Corrects myopia with or without astigmatism and hyperopia with or without astigmatism.

Disadvantages of Lasik:

  • The healing process varys for each individual
  • Night Glare may occur in some cases.
  • Changes made to the cornea cannot be reversed.
  • Expensive
  • Side Effects for the first 24-48 hours such as Glare, Dry Eyes and Fluatuating Vision may occur.

I personally feel that before going for Lasik Eye Surgery, seek professionals and friends for advices. Best is go to Lasik Surgeons that your friends had tried it before. Overall, I think Lasik provides more convenience in life.

Kiehl's Lip Balm #1

Kiehl's Lip Balm is one of my favourite. I simply love it so much that i will not use other brand of Lip Balm. It temporarily helps relieve chapped or cracked lips. Helps protect lips from drying effect of wind and cold weather. It is a MUST HAVE during winter time. It also contain SPF. I heard some people who get sores on the corner of their mouth but with Kiehl's Lip Balm, they no longer have this kind of problem. Amazing right?

I heard that this product is getting popular in UK, is that true? I only know alot of singapore celebrities are using it.

Emergencies methods for reducing pimples redness

You saw this big red thingy on your face and couldn't help in squeezing it. Ooozzz... The pus came out but it is still red.

Avoid squeezing your pimples with hands. It will cause infection and worsened the pimples if it is not done professionally. For those with the pus appearing, you may press it gently and the pus will come out. Any pimples that have to be done with force, STOP IT. It will leave scars behind.

1) Apply toner to your pimples and reduce the redness using eye drop. This helps it reducing the redness greatly.
2) Rub the ice cubes gently on your face and use the eye drop.
3) Crush 1 Aspirin tablet and mix with water and apply to your face for 15 minutes. This reduces oiliness, acne breakouts and reduces redness.

How to remove pimples from my back?

Have always been troubled with pimples on your back? Wishing to buy the tube top or halter neck you saw but hesitated for that moment when you saw the pimples on your back. Well, these are some of the few simple methods you can consider.

1) Use Neutrogena Body Wash/Cetaphil with loofah and wash it off.
2) Everytime after conditioning your hair, the hair conditioner flow all the way down to your body. Make it a habit to wash your hair first followed by body wash so that the hair conditioner can be washed off from your body as hair conditioner can clog your body pores.
3) Use a good body scrub twice a week.
4) If you have only pimple scars on your back and have tried different methods to lighten it but still does not help, you can try to go for sun tanning so that the scars doesn't look so obvious.
