High Trace Minerals for Healthy Skin

Skin cells suffer from fatigue and skin dullness from environmental aggressions and mineral deficiencies. Trace minerals are essential minerals required by human health. It accelerates the skin healing process and gives the skin sufficient hydration to improve on skin roughness. Bio-essence Bio-spring Water contains high trace minerals which are the perfect, natural treatment to obtain optimum skin care health. While minerals are vital in modern skin care, higher mineral content releases more energy and heat which will be drying to the skin.

News Release

https://i0.wp.com/www.californiafitness.com/hk/sites/default/files/richieeng.jpg

New California Fitness spokesperson Richie Jen (Ren Xianqi) in Singapore

02232013_califitpr_2919
Singapore, February 23, 2013 – J.V. Fitness Limited, trading as “California Fitness,” announces Taiwanese singer and actor, Richie Jen (Ren Xianqi), as its new spokesperson throughout Asia, leading the gym’s various fitness programs for busy professionals demanding a fighting fit physique and health.

Every festive season bring lots of joyful eating, and a busy lifestyle for many professionals is especially counterproductive when it comes to maintaining health and fitness. For many, the most resistant area to lose persistent fats is the tummy, which in turn, has a large part to play in the core strength of a person.

Richie is known for his many ballads of optimism, love and positive energy. His long filmography has always brought entertainment and joy to many. Richie has always been seen as an epitome of health and fitness among fellow celebrities in Taiwan, and loves to maintain his physique and health while he juggled his busy music and acting careers, his new business, and his family with two adorable kids.

“I am very honored to be the new California Fitness spokesperson. I have always been highly selective for brand endorsements, and maintained that any brand I represent must be a good fit, and we must be able to bring a positive message to the community,” said Richie Jen (Ren Xianqi).

“I am impressed by California Fitness in its revolutionary fitness concepts, the spaciousness of its gyms, the comprehensive array of fitness equipment for aerobic and resistance training, professional fitness trainers with passion and encouragement.”

Fighting Fit for any occasion

In more recent years, Richie has been dedicating most of his time in acting, and with the heavy schedule and particular requirements of films, Richie has found less time in his schedule to maintain his physique and health, until he found the rich and exciting spread of fitness programs and equipment at California Fitness gym, all of which are specially developed for busy professionals on the move.

With the variety of programs and equipment at the California Fitness gym, Richie has kept up his ideal fitness and physique demanded by the competitive entertainment industry, with 30 minutes per workout, according to him. As with most people who hold down demanding careers, with a desire to care and love their families, and to maintain health as well, the more
sustainable fitness regimes have to be short in duration (30 minutes would be ideal), and a combination of aerobic and resistance training to condition cardiovascular fitness as well as musculoskeletal strength. With the increasing bombardment of many stimuli in our society, people also like their fitness programs tailored with contemporary music and some choreographed routines.*

“Many of our customers are facing this challenge of trying to get the most returns on their exercise and fitness regimes, without spending too much time in the gym or in the field,” says Mr. Zen Lee, Fitness Manager, California Fitness Singapore. “We would recommend a tailored program to fit into the little pockets of time our customers’ can invest in their fitness amidst their busy work and family schedules. A great workout program we can develop for customers would be short, targeted, highly energetic, and great fun.”

Been waiting for ages to visit Essensuals once again for my hair pampering treats! With CNY fast approaching, I could hardly bear the idea of having frizzy, unkempt hair while house visiting and celebrating the festive season. Where’s the cheer if my hair looks like a lioness mess?!

I think it’s been a loooong time since I last saw my hair in good shape, due to umpteen times of hair dying, perming and styling. That head of soft, silky and shiny hair seems impossible to achieve. Then I was on the constant look out for good hair salons, and hopped from one to the other through cheap Groupon deals. Urghhh but I know that’s not working at all!

Bryan from Essensuals, from my first time at the salon, had recommended me this “keratin treatment” that will do wonders in taming and repairing my dry, damaged hair. I couldn’t wait to try it, eagerly anticipating my hair to return to its former glory, if there was any to speak of!

This is the BEFORE picture, while I was waiting for my turn. I had actually brushed it once so it doesn’t look so bad, but there was hardly shine or smoothness in this state.

Essensuals was full house that day, so to pass time I was taking self shots. In this shot I was telling Fidelis how much I wanted tools like bump-its to create more volume at the crown of my head, thus making the face look slimmer!

The anti-frizz polish consists of a few simple steps – washing, drying, applying a coat of “polish” or “treatment”, washing and drying again before straightening (like rebonding) and you’re done!

2013-01-27 19.58.49

When it’s all done – tada! I couldn’t recognize myself! My hair became straight and feels soft and silky. I couldn’t stop touching my hair until Bryan started to tease me about it! The effects of this treatment is like soft rebonding, only more natural and not scissors-straight like the actual rebonding.

2013-01-27 19.59.15

Hair was practically glowing under the lights :) Yayyy!

2013-01-27 21.04.44

I hardly experienced “movement” of my hair because it’s always heavy with frizz. But after the treatment it felt significantly lighter, less hair loss (a problem I was really worried about a few weeks back) experienced and my hair actually bounced when I walked. It’s a serious miracle and saviour of damaged hair!

Effects of this treatment lasts for about 3-6 months. Now, a week after the treatment, my hair condition is still very good :)

2013-01-27 21.09.57

Bet nobody could recognize me from the back now :P

When I was done Fidelis was still fixing her ombre hair – she took longer but I’m sure it was all worth it as she couldn’t stop gushing about her new hair colors! I saw it myself and couldn’t agree more – snapshots below! Super gorgeous la!

Move over Kate, Mango’s got a new leading lady. After two seasons with Moss as its face, the Spanish retailer has named Victoria’s Secret Angel Miranda Kerr as the star of its upcoming Spring 2013 campaign. The campaign, which includes the whole shebang — television, billboards, online media, and print — was shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin in New York and has finally been unveiled for your viewing pleasure.

Kerr joins quite a crew: in addition to Moss, Milla Jovovich, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Karolina Kurkova, Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington, and Isabeli Fontana have all posed for the brand.

“Mango is a brand that I love,” Miranda expressed. “You always find the perfect garment for every occasion!”

“What I love about Mango is that it really embraces the strong, feminine woman,” says Kerr, herself also a mother and businesswoman. “There are so many pieces for every type of woman.” Yoga-loving Kerr revealed that staple items in her wardrobe include skinny jeans and high-waisted skirts, but in the main she likes to mix-and-match.

With seasonal clothing blurring more and more — flimsy dresses in mid-winter, cashmere jumpers at the start of summer — the key to Spring shopping is buying some key items that last throughout the year.

Keeping things simple and smart with a blazer, a pair of fitted jeans, or tank top are every woman’s wardrobe must-have items, says Kerr, as they are versatile enough to wear from day to night. Mix it up with some luxury accessories and statement heels for a quick change of the hour.

Meanwhile, if you’re a Mango fan, black and white stripes, denim on denim, and vibrant colors will weave their way into your wardrobe for the new season.
