Review: MRM CLA 1250

After I read so much about the benefits of CLA, I decided to buy some and try it out. Since the Malaysia's CLA is so expensive for me, so I google online to search for another alternative. Then I found this website Bodybuilding from US. The product is quite cheap, and guess what? The CLA were on promotion!! Buy 2 Free 1 for only USD 44 = RM 143 exclude postage. So without delay, I quickly bought the CLA with this promotion. They are sending the product by USPS and the delivering estimated to reach Malaysia in 1 months time. What is surprising me is that they actually took less than 1 month to reach Malaysia, they reached in about 2 weeks time. Nice and Fast!



The CLA is in the softgel capsule, quite big in size. For the people who can hardly swallow big capsule, will have difficulty to swallow these huge capsules. So what to do? I bought it and I squeeze the oil out without swallowing the capsules. Although some people might think that it is a waste because some of the oil will still stick on the capsule, I'm not going to swallow the empty capsule.


As usual, supplement needs to take time for you to feel the effects. So I've been taking the CLA for 3 months from now. I took 4 capsules a day half an hour before food. For people who don't know what is the function of CLA, here are some of the major functions:

• Suppress appetite
• Break-down stubborn fat
• Good oil for skin

It actually do help me to suppress appetite. I don't feel hungry in the afternoon and night time, so eventually I ate lesser. In breakdown stubborn fat wise, I do feel my thigh & hip become smaller. I really can see the effect as my pants become loose now. Without exercise, I lost around 2kg in 3 months, I eat like usual, not dieting. Too bad that I didn't measure my thigh & hip before I started to take CLA. I am very happy with the results. I will definitely continue to take the CLA until I reach my targeted weight.

Review: Groupon Gladys Skin Solution Kepong

Last month I bought a voucher from Groupon.com.my  for the hair & scalp treatment + hydrating facial + cut + wash + blow for only RM 48. Since there are 4 days Raya holidays, so I made my reservation and I'm going to do this on Friday, 2nd day of Raya. Unfortunately, for this great deal, a lot of people bought the voucher and made the reservation earlier than me, so I only able to made the reservation for facial. The person in changed say that I can claim it separately. So i had to go twice for my facial and hair treatment.

I went to this Gladys Skin Solution on Friday morning 11.30am, as I understand they will only be open by 11am. So I assumed that I'm the first customer. Well the decoration and the environment are quite good I can say. There is a very nice information table, with all the information or brochures just beside the entrance.

Then when you sit down on the sofa, the staff/ beautician will make you the flower tea (chrysanthemum with dates) for you to relax and calm down before you start the facial treatment. Very delicate glass and pot doesn't it? While you are enjoying your tea, you will need to fill in a form, just a simple one for their reference. They will be also asking you about your lifestyle and your concern. So for me, my main concern is my stubborn blackheads. Hopefully she can help me to get rid of it. 

 The facial room is quite big, with air con, and all the product will be setting up beside the bed. So the beautician will ask you to change the clothes 1st, they will provide you the robe to change.

After all set, the beautician will start the facial treatment and she will explain step by steps what she is going to do. That's the part I like the most as I like a knowledgeable beautician to explain to me all the things they are doing. The whole process last for about 1 hour but i top up RM 50 to do a full facial which includes the hyaluronic acid serum and a complete cleansing for blackheads. So the facial last for 2 hours including neck and shoulder massage. The massage is really nice as they used essence oil with the aroma of YlangYlang and rose I think. 

For my blackheads, I don't think it is a complete blackhead removal. The beautician told me that 80% of the blackheads are gone, left 20% which are very stubborn and difficult to remove. But from what I see, 20 % are gone while 80% is still there. I didn't satisfy with the result of this blackhead removal. Since I already told her that I main concern is the blackheads, doesn't she suppose to really clean it out for me?

Pros

Nice service

Friendly staff

Relax environment

Cons

Not focusing on my concern (blackheads)

Normal Price expensive

Review: Johnson Body Care Oxygen Fresh Gel Lotion

Today I saw a post on Freebiesland.com.my regarding "Guardian: Free Johnson’s Body Care Discount Voucher Giveaway!!". 

The guardian is giving out RM 3 discount voucher for the Johnson's Body Care range product. All you need to do is to like Johnson's Facebook page. Then you can print out the voucher and redeem it at any Guardian outlet. 

So I print out the voucher and redeem it at the nearest Guardian stores. The choices you can choose are:

• Johnson’s Body Care Oxygen Fresh Gel Lotion
• Johnson’s Body Care 24 Hours Lasting Moisture Lotion
• Johnson’s Body Care Naturally White Lotion
• Johnson’s Body Care Melt Away Stress Lotion

The others I've tried before, so this time I'm gonna try the new Oxygen Fresh Gel Lotion. So there is my 100ml Oxygen Fresh Gel Lotion with original price RM 7.20, after discount RM 3 become RM 4.20.

The packaging seems very nice, with light blue color (which is my favorite) and cute small bottle. It states there that it contains ocean minerals, coralline extracts & aqua essences, I think that's why they are using a blue color bottle. When I pour it out, it is a bit watery and milky texture I can say.  It really looks like the facial serum texture i apply on my face....

The smell is really nice, as it says ocean smells. You can feel the aqua smells. Normally, when we apply lotion, it will be oily at first. But for this Oxygen Fresh, you won't feel oily at all!! It will be absorbed once you apply it and then you will feel your hand is so smooth and moisturized. I really like this lotion, smells good,  absorb faster, not oily, you can straight away start your work without waiting. Good product for everyone to try especially office lady. 

Bad Train Service

            Yesterday I bought a ticket from KL central back to Kampar ETS @ 2pm. I've been on the waiting couch for an hour before the boarding time. I heard KTMB staff announcing a final call for other ETS train number. That train number is not in my ticket. I thought it was not the train that I'm taking so I keep on waiting. Until 2.10pm I ask the other staff, and surprisingly he told me that my train departed already. When I go back to the counter and ask for the information and a refund or replacement for the train, KTMB staff blame me for not going down. He said ' You should go down and wait for the train no matter what happen, even we didn't announce, once the time reach then you need to go down and wait for the train'. Is that the way KTMB have done always? Is this the best customer service that KTMB provided? Blaming the customer because we follow the rules? KTMB staff should be the one who needs to responsible for this issue instead of blaming me! KTMB not only make me to pay 2 ticket price for 1 way travelling,  also make me to be late for a meeting with a customer. I'm very disappointed with KTMB staff and the irresponsible attitude! They purposely want to make money, ask customer to pay twice for the ticket.
