Best Of NOW: Fruit

Apr 14

Hot right now are grapes, avocados, pineapples, limes, easy peel citrus.

Frozen grapes - I’ve been anxiously waiting for winter to pass to try this, quite summery food. I think this will make an excellent snack this spring/summer: toss your grapes in the freezer and eat them once they are frozen.

Avocados - not just temporarily hot… I eat all year round. Mainly in sandwiches or salads. They are yum and full of nutritional goodness.

Pineapples - I love em’. One of the healthiest foods you can eat. Try them as a salsa or make a Pizza “Hawaii”.

Limes - supposedly fantastic for detoxifying the body. I have yet to try them and I’m really curious.

Easy peel citrus - makes a great snack but too much of those make me sick.

Hydrating The Boobs - Firming Products For Your Breasts

Apr 06

I’m a big sceptic and generally don’t believe that bust firming / lifting gels work very well. One of my major issue I have with them is that these firming and lifting creme’s aren’t very likely to ever live up to people’s expectations and I really hate spending money on something when I could have just used Vaseline or baby oil instead. There is just no way that they will lift sagging breasts that are touching your knees!

Creme’s and Gels

Bust Firming Cream by Spa Energie Vegetable - available at Yves-Rocher.co.uk

lpic_1824_1001_3145 Currently priced at around £9.80

What they say

An immediate toning effect thanks to its fast-penetrating, melting gel cream texture that lightly massages. Day after day, your bust is more defined and firmer. The skin is hydrated*, smoothed and revitalised. (*Hydrates outer layers of the epidermis).

My verdict

I’ve tried this one and have been quite happy with it. It does leave the skin feeling smooth. It supposedly has a lifting or remodelling effect but you’ll hardly find any creme that magically defies gravity and puts your breasts into perfect shape. I’m afraid only surgeons can perform such miracles.

Another one I found on Yves Rocher was the Lifting Buste firmer

IB_15978 Currently priced at £10.50

What they say

Yves Rocher Botanical Laboratories have combined Mangifera Extract, renown for its firming action with the re-hydrating properties of Maple Sap Concentrate and Spa mineral water.

I think

I might actually try this. I haven’t used this product before but in my opinion, the Spa Energie Végétale, is a real good brand.

Elemis Pro Collagen Lifting Treatment for Neck & Bust

neck_Bust-160x140 A whopping £70, you might get it cheap on eBay or if you do a bit of a search.

What they say

A revolutionary Anti-Ageing Treatment that is clinically proven to reduce skin crepiness by up to 33% and increase skin firmness by 17% with a 14% increase in elasticity. A powerful Elemis solution for slackening skin, minimising the signs of ageing for a smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking neck and bust.

I think

This is a bit overpriced. Another product I haven’t tried yet, but whilst searching I’ve come across many reviews which rated this as a rather good product. Worth the money? That is the question.

I’m very eager to try these, Body Resculpt Bust and Bust Up by Biotherm. Having used several other products by the company, I was rather pleased.

biotherm body resculpt bust Currently priced at £29.50 I’m convinced you could find it cheaper online.

What they say - Body Resculpt Bust

A genuine ‘firmness concentrate’ that provides an intense, dual-action treatment:
- An instant tightening effect to tone and firm. The skin’s fibres are tightened and toned thanks to an instant tightening complex for a quick beauty fix (using the power of ceramides and hydrating polymers)
- Firming action to combat the loosening and ageing of the skin around the bust and neck. Skin is enhanced with improved elasticity day after day thanks to Vitamins B5 & E, Pure Extract of Thermal Plankton and an intense firming complex.

I can’t say much to this. I’m planning to trying the Biotherm products based on my experiences with the brand. I’ve also seen some positive reviews.
