My unexpected morning....with Biotherm!

Today was kind of a crazy day.... "wacky wednesday" maybe....
For starters I thought that I had the day off and was going to finally be able to sleep in and maybe film another tutorial.
But of course, my crazy life does not let that happen, so I luckily checked my schedule last night before bed......and to my surprise and disappointment, I was scheduled to attend the Biotherm training session...don't get me wrong! I really enjoy going to trainings but I was totally looking forward to my day off.
ANYWAYS, to get back to what this post is about.... since I attended this training, I fortunately received some goodies.... check them out, as one of them is debuting here in Canada, for the very first time, here..... 


Celluli laser Size.Code(S.Code) - Luckily for myself I do not have cellulite that is very prominent, so every time I see a new product to help with cellulite, let's just say, I am not too excited. 
However, this one is different! At first, I was like "oh great, here's another cellulite product" but after listening to the trainer a bit more, she explained thathis little baby was actually for the STOMACH. Apparently it helps with stubborn fat and skin sagging. Awesome for me since I am really trying to get a six pack. Expecto see this one out in March or April.


Next up is the Skin Ergetic concentrate or serum - I was super excited that we received this product as it helps with oxidation of the skin and is 99% natural.


We, of course received a mens moisturizer, this one is High Recharge for dull or tired skin. I probably will make the man use this one!
Biocils Lash optimizer - I already know this product and I am a huge fan. It is a makeup remover which removes all kinds of makeup and also promotes lash growth. And who doesn't want longer lashes?












Have you tried any of these products? Let me know what you thought!

90% of us get it. 100% of us hate it. Yes ladies, that's right, I'm talking about Cellulite! That pesky orange peel looking skin on our butt and/or tummy. Sometimes called cottage cheese skin; no matter your size(big or small;thick or thin) or age, we all can be affected by cellulite(unfortunately). 
Cellulite is change in the skin that appears on the surface of the skin but it goes much deeper than that. It's basically when the fat cells get trapped by collagen to for a network like surroundings. Creating a dimpling effect.












Usually with cellulite you can feel a slight tightening and heavy feeling of the legs. Sometimes it can be tender to the touch. But don't fret, it is not a disease. It's more a sign of an unhealthy person. But obesity is not related to cellulite, as mentioned earlier even underweight people can develop cellulite. But what you eat definitely makes a different in cellulite appearance. 
How to cope with this dilemma then? Well as there is no quick fix for cellulite, as there are many factors as to why we have it:
1. Watch what you eat and drink. Depending on what you eat it can effect the appearance of cellulite. Make sure to drink lots of water.
2. A main factor in cellulite are our hormones. Estrogen being one of them(seeing as woman are effected more). Others included are insulin, thyroid hormones and catecholamines adrenaline.
3. You love your mom, but not because she gave you those dimples. Yes another factor is genetics. 
4. Stress can be a factor that can worsen cellulite as it increases the levels of catecholamines. 
5. Exercise. Yes it is important. Even walking a bit everyday helps. Better than nothing.
I always tell my customers that you cannot expect that creams will do all the work. You have to exercise and change your diet in order to get results. Creams will do about 5-10% of a difference. Massaging the area will make the product work twice as fast. Some products that I recommend are the Clarins High definition Body lift or the Celluli Laser D.Code(Great to treat genetic and lifestyle affected cellulite). However ladies remember to use these twice a day and everyday to see results.
