What Are the Important Gyming Gears?

S&S Partners · September 20, 2014 · 2 Comments

Way back in June, P had enrolled in a nearby gym. Do not even bother to ask how many days he has been going, though! It is so damn easy to skip the gym 🙁 Anyways, before he had enrolled, we specially went to shop for his shoes. But, not only shoes but clothing and other things also matter when you are hitting the gym. So, check out what all you need to take care of!
Sweat Shirt
Go for the ones that promote healthy air circulation to your skin and absorb your sweat at the same time. High Sweat absorption rates will hide your water losing details and hence help you workout more. Choose wisely keeping in mind your routine. Lower your risks of discomforts wearing a loose outfit that may not stick to your body when wet.
Bottoms
Choosing your lower half wears must be a wise and efficient decision. It’s the length that will actually matter. Be it a pair of shorts or knee length pants what you are actually going to do in the gym with them on you is all what matters. Don’t pick out a tight outfit that may tear out during your exercises. Be concerned about your movements and feel free to have a workout. Excessively long pants may cause you serious problems after getting stuck in a treadmill or so. Search out what is best for you and go for the right choice.

Shoes and Socks
Wear an ethnic pair of shoes that make you comfortable while doing your daily stuff at the gym. Sweaty and smelly feet are a great mood-offs and hence avoid choosing such materials inefficient in handling your body sweat. Wear soft cotton socks and high quality material shoes that lower your risk of any foot disease. Your Shoes should be well supportive, properly ventilated and cushioned. Go for some Good quality source that may not only glamour your personality but also make you feel light.
Head-Gear
Wearing a simple skullcap or a beanie is the best option to absorb the sweat that flows down your head. Don’t allow the sweat to wash down through your eyes or let your hair obstruct your workouts.
Gloves
If you are practising weight-lifting at your end, go for a protective pair of gloves that will prevent your hands from getting scared and getting any injuries. Go for a flexible and reliable pair to get relief and satisfaction.
Swimsuit
Buy an elegant swim suit if you are a great fan of swimming and like to do so at a regular basis. Fetch around two swimsuits at least to have your swimming practice at daily basis. Wear the one that fits you and make you comfortable.
Main Concern: Your gym schedule may include different activities ranging from simple pushups to High machine workouts. Different Activities may demand for different outfits. So, you can decide according to your needs and your exercise schedules that which ones do you really need to invest in!

Le Beurre Shea Butter Face Cream and Lip Balm product review
Le Beurre Shea Butter Face Cream and Lip Balm product review

Long time back, I had ordered cocoa butter because I wanted to create my own face cream and body creams minus all the other useless ingredients. That cocoa butter is still lying in my fridge but I was contacted by this company to review the products and jumped at the offer. What could be better than using the natural products, right? So, let us see how did they fare in my review!

Shea Butter Face Cream

Le Beurre Shea Butter Face Cream and Lip Balm product review
  • Price: 12$ for 2oz
  • No smell at all. 
  • Packaging not really great. In fact the labels also get dissolved if the shea butter melts on it. 
  • Moisturizes well. Shea Butter is awesome. In fact, it made my skin look glowing and hydrated even if no exfoliation was done!
  • Ingredients not mentioned. 
  • Does not travel well. The cream can melt in tropical temperatures and leak! 
  • A small quantity is enough. Otherwise, it will make the face look oily. And, it is definitely a winter or dry season product. 
  • Not suited for oily skin.

5 Veggies that help with Acne {Five Series}

Swathy · September 17, 2014 · 3 Comments

So, I was checking through my drafts and I came across this post which I had written long back and just left it as it is. So, let me recount some of the rarely heard home remedies which have great affect on the bacteria which result in acne.
Cabbage
It is rich in Vitamin K and Vitamin C, both of which help in getting a glowing and radiant skin and they also fight hyper-pigmentation. Grate a piece of cabbage and extract its juice. Apply it topically, let it dry and wash off. And, it also helps flushing out the toxins when taken internally.
Radish
Radish is rich in ascorbic acid, which is one form of Vitamin C, and potassium,  whose deficiency can cause acne and Vitamin A and K. It helps fight the inflammation in the skin.

Onion
Rich in Vitamin C. And, 

Onions contain phytochemical compounds such as phenolics and flavonoids that basic research shows to have potential anti-inflammatory, anti-cholesterol, anticancer and antioxidant properties [Source].

Cucumber
Rich in Vitamin A, C, E and K and potassium. And, helps soothe the skin. It is an astringent which helps open the skin pores and clean them.
Beetroot
Rich in Vitamin A, potassium, magnesium and Vitamin E which helps heal the scars on the skin. It helps clearing the skin from the inside and flushes out the toxins and also helps lower cholesterol. 
Which other veggies would you add to the list?
