Friends who know me will know I am famous for not drinking plain water. They will go like ''she ah… don't drink plain water one.'' but over these 2 years, I have been trying hard to at least drink a little bit (not even 1 glass a day). 

Sometimes I could literally feel my body is like a machine being overheated. Then I will quickly flushed iced water down my throat, then I feel like puking because water is tasteless. O.O 

With all the unhealthy food I am eating right now, I don't feel right to not drink any water to flush out the toxins. 

So I started making my own infused water, I bought a cute bottle (although I don't drink water, but i couldn't resist buy cute water bottles. Sometimes I buy bottles to motivate me to drink water but it all fails) to make infused water, especially lemon water. Then I got LAZY and stop making them. BOO! 

Thank god, at Tirisula Yoga, in the midst of doing yoga, Pamela brought out cold bottles of Infuusa tea to quench our thirst, after that I met Wei Lieh & Infuusa at the workshop. 

Its not the first time I heard about Infuusa, but I was too lazy to check them out previously. 

 photo file_zps78f8f9be.jpg

When I went for a jog (3km haha!) with K last time, we will buy a bottle of H20/100 PLUS/Aquarius. Wei Lieh says its no need for us to drink that. The calories we burned, we actually put them back into our body with those isotonic drinks. Which makes sense. He is right. No wonder I didn't feel good after jogging and so we eventually stopped exercising :X

Infuusa was started last year by Wei Lieh. He noticed his members (he was teaching classes in gym) drinking water & sports drink, which is so wrong, he decided experimenting cold brew - infusions water & tea. This is something refreshing, natural and low calorie. 

And then he realised infusions take at least 4 hours, no one wants to wait so long for a drink isn't it? So he did experiments after experiments, and came out with a sachet infusion which only takes 3 minutes! So Infuusa was borne!

This is a winner in our yoga class. Everyone prefers this to the other drink Wei Lieh had prepared for us (except me).

Belif Workshop

belif

We were honoured to attend belif's workshop, thanks to belif as well as Tirisula Yoga. 

I went to belif's website and find their website very cute! 

What makes belif stand out, since there are so many products in the market?
It is actually their truthful ingredients stated on their products. 

No synthetic fragrances/colors/mineral oil/preservatives used. 

Factors that affect your skin are:
Age, weather, lifestyle.

Basically to attain good skin, drink water, have a healthy diet and gentle facial products. 

If you know me in real life, or had already read my page on my skin/face, you already know I have bad skin, I am so glad my facial therapist helped me a lot. Apart from diet, skincare is very important too!


 photo file_zps7b93d812.jpg

Thank you belif, for these generous products of yours. I have already started on these for about 4 days, so far so good!
I can feel my skin feeling more supple, more hydrated the next morning after washing my face. 
I only used belif's above products at night as in the day I have my set of skincare products from my facial therapist.


Bascially the skin care routine should follow this way: 


Grabbed this from belif's website.



And these are some pictures I took during the workshop:

Tirisula Yoga is having a 50-Hour Yoga Transformation Training from 19th to 30th January 2015. 
If you are interested, they are now having a great deal at 50% off (U.P S$1800) for my readers!
Go to their website http://tirisulayoga.com/bookings/ , search for the ''19th January 2015 50hr Transformation Yoga Training''  and quote ''vivienneeluv'' while making the booking. 

I had always wanted to try yoga because I heard of weight loss stories. "Weight loss" is the keyword for me. As you know, I've been eating a lot, whenever I reached home from work & dinner, I just want to take a hot bath and go to bed. No time to workout or jog at all! 

I have a friend in taipei, she's at the age of 55. Since day 1 I know her, which was 8 years ago, she's has been doing yoga everyday. I wished I could post her photo here. She looks young, no grey hairs and even had bangs like me, good complexion, lean, and healthy! I asked her what's her trick, she said "yoga".

Maybe 6-7 years back, some hard sell yoga and fitness company called me and offer free trials. Free trials, why not? I can get to experience what is yoga like. So I went, the yoga session was conducted in an air conditioned room, the instructor doesn't care if I can catch up or not, so I was left there in a big class of 30-40 yogis, struggling all by myself. I never even perspire, not a single drop. After shower (since their bathrooms are nice), I was then brought to a pantry, they started hard selling. So.. That's what yoga like to me. I had never want to take up yoga again. 

One day, I received an invitation to a 2-day bloggers' yoga workshop from Tirisula Yoga. I thought this might be fun. Apart from yoga, there are skin care/Infuusa workshops too! I was thinking, why not? It's time to try yoga for a second time, if I didn't like it, at least I can enjoy the rest of the non-yoga workshops. So I went ahead and am very glad that I joined the other bloggers for this workshop. Maybe it's an eye-opener for me but not for them. The rest of the other bloggers are so flexible! I'm the only old bones & the most inflexible. But the litres of sweat makes me feel satisfied! 

What have I learnt? I've learn that yoga is not going there, jump & act like monkeys. Yoga is a THERAPY, makes you feel good, happy, relieve stress, calms you down, not just for weight loss. And I am amazed that what we can do on the yoga mat! You do need a huge space. 

After I got home from the 2-day workshop, I actually missed doing yoga! I told my colleague ''I missed yoga so much'', I guessed its time i fork out time to do yoga, its better to start now than never. 

And I also chanced upon this video online.
Now I'm further more convinced that yoga is a therapy. Nothing is impossible.
