HOW effective?

Why are there so many testimonials of how great PB is? I'm yet to find out how effective this product is. To be honest, my opinion is that, if I want to get in good shape, and at the same time be healthy, wearing a corset is NOT the answer. It should be, eating healthily, and exercise. That's what all the health professions all over the world would recommend.

However, it is slightly difficult to get into the habit of doing exercise 3 or 4 times a week, eventhough its just a 20-30 minutes of cardiac workout, plus eating healthily?? How do you make sure the food you eat is healthy with all the good nutrition, when Mc Donalds, Pizza Hut, Dominos, and KFC are so much more convenient. Thus what I manage to figure out of why PB is soooooo much more effective is because:

- No matter how lazy you are, you still have to wear a bra and panty everyday at all times. So, its easier to get good compliance in PB wearers. Compare to exercise 3 times a week, from a busy working mom with 2 small children? you do the maths :)

- The 'far infrared' (FIR) which is said to be good for health, helps to increase your body metabolism, and improve blood circulations. If not, why does medical garments uses this technology in making socks for diabetic patients, and also other garments for people suffering backache. And this is after they have dove a lot of research and all.

Day 4 wearing PB today.. Still feel a bit troublesome to go to the washroom, and yet to prove that this works on me. So far what I can tell is:

- my blocked ducts (breast problem), had it again yesterday, however the pain is less troublesome, due to the good support of the bra, plus its not that bad. Why?

- Quite surprised, that I did not complain of my bad back for a while now since wearing PB. Hmmm, good support for the back indeed.

I didnt have that high of expectation for this PB to begin with, as different people benefit from it differently at a different rate. If I were to expect that this PB can immediately give me hour glass figure (after all, I kan dah ade 2 anak, mana tak body figure pun hilang), make my breast problems disappear completely (after all I have had about 30 times of breast infections in total), and energy like a 18 year-old girl, (hahaha can only be 18 again at heart), I would have asked Harry Potter to wave his magic wand and say out his magic mantra. PB is not a magic corset, but it is a corset that can help you to be healthy and beautiful. Right ladies???? :D

Thus from my understanding, this is why corset are created in the first place, back in the old times.. which is to promote great body figure, and good posture (prevent back ache).

Overcoming TANTRUMS!

To have a good communication, one has to understand the other, and vice versa. For me, talking to my son, giving instructions such as.. eat, go to sleep, put your dirty clothes in the basket, give this to Dahlia, go colour book,.. is ok, as he understood the instructions given. However, when he wants something, I can only understand part of it. His 'please..' sounded more like 'peh', and when he wants his puting (pacifier) he will say 'teh', when he wants milk, he'll say 'mek'..I tried really hard to listen to him, figure out and most of it just guessing what he's trying to say. But despite that, I guess I'm not doing my job well enough, because he has just started to develop this tantrums.

Out of no reason, he'll scream!!! and then roll on the floor crying his heart out. At first I thought that someone might have upset him, like say 'No' to what he wants.. But actually it's his way of telling me, "you are not listening to what I'm saying and what I want". How upsetting it must be for him. Any tips how this tantrums can be stopped as soon as possible without making it any worse??

I guess its the same thing thatcan happen in a husband-wife relationship, or mum-daughter, or even father-son relationship. When one person is trying to convey something, but his / her intention was interpreted the other way round, must be very very upsetting right? For me, my 'tantrums' may not be the same like what my son did, but its still a tantrum of silence that I usually put up. But for an adult, this can be prevented by honest, open communication. Dont hessitate to say what's on your mind, and if it doesnt come across in a way that you want the other person to understand, just try and re-word it to a simpler analogy. Usually that works. If not, just do whatever you feel right, and makes you happy. :D

Imagine when a pacifier can no longer work to soothe him.. OH NO!!!

A Good Investment Indeed

I have to admit that I'm never good with managing money. If you give me tasks to manage my kids, kemas rumah, planning holidays, sume boleh ditanggung beres. But if it comes with limited budget, hmmmmmm then I may have problems. hehe.. So, when I want to invest in this PB, things that came to my mind to consider are:

1) If it is good for health purposes, then its a good investment. (Kurang sakit2 badan, kurang makan ubat, kurang cuti sakit, can be more efficient with work, do more at home, spend more quality time (including main kuda with Adam), and also be efficient at home), then its a good investment.

2) If it is good for being healthy, where I do not need to diet like crazy, eat good food macam biasa, and at the same time be fit, and in good shape. (Husband pun puas hati), then its a good investment.

PB = Good Investment
3) When calculating balik the amount of money I spent to buy my undergarments (nak cantik la, lacy la, branded la, selesa la) in a year, times 5 years and compare it to PB that is not just good for health, but also beauty, plus the lifetime warranty and ade plak nanti bleh repairkan kalo rosak sikit2... hmm you do the math la. sangat good investment.

So when my financial expert (my hubby) took these points into consideration, he then also agreed that PB is a good investment. Try to think of things that you waste a lot of money on, eg: wedding reception which you usually waste thousands on a one-day occasion, buying expansive cars that will only depreciate as years passed, etc... Compare this to buying PB, it is so much more a good buy, where the benefits outweigh the reasonable cost of PB itself. Have a good 10 minutes to think of this...

day-2-day

In life, we are so used to plan ahead. We make plans for holidays, when to balik kampung, what to do during school holidays, kalo nak raya tu, siap dah beli baju raya even before puasa starts. But we sometimes forget about the days that has passed, the lessons we learnt when mistakes were made, and the memories we shared with others. Therefore, I'm writing this blog, to remind myself of the good memories I created, life lessons that I encounter, and also the great times I shared with family, relatives and friends. I would like to document my life journey, and I hope that what I learn in life may benefit others that might / will be in similar position.

I made a decision to wear premium beautiful (PB), and today is my first day wearing it. Why did I chose to join PB, this is my answer:

1) Since I had my daughter, I started to have a back ache. My daughter was born premature, thus she has always wanted extra attention. Asyik nak berdukung, nak dipeluk, and her colic problem was seriously very bad. Malam2 xnak tido for about 2-3 hours, and nak didukung. Letak je terus nangis. This went on for almost 3 months. Plus, at the same time, my son pulak just started to have his 'jealousy' moments towards his sister. Die pun sibuk nak suruh dukung jugak. He was already 10 kgs at that time. Hmm, mane tak rasa nak patah pinggang. My back ache was getting worse as days passed by. Sometimes its hard for me to even sleep at night because of the ache. I even wear panaflex plaster for a week, tried on TENS machine (transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation), and sometimes just drugged myself with panadol. So, one night I had a read through about PB with the FIR (far infrared) and I decided to give it a try.

2) Breastfeeding my 2 children has been a big challenge for me. Blocked duct, engorgement, mastitis, breast infection, demam susu, nipple cracked, blister.. whatever you want to call it, I've had it. Not just once or twice, but 12 twice during my son's time, and currently 18 times with my daughter now. She's only 5 months old, and I've had 18 times breast problems. Tears, stressed, angry, give up, all mixed emotions I've came across. Sometimes I dont even know what the feelings are anymore. I've tried everything that I can think off. Berus guna sikat, minum longan, soya, pam kerap, perah dengan tangan, tuam dulu before pam, makan lecithin supplement, and the lists goes on and on... 

3) My body after I gave birth, memang xyah nak cakap la. Eventhough I've lost most of the pregnancy weight, but the flabbiness, the stretch marks, and body contour memang tak terkata la. If you have had a child, and you keep complaining of these, I yang dah ada 2 org, these stuff macam x2 plak. 

So I thought, why not. Just give it a try, plus I've read through about the concept of PB with the FIR is quite promising, especially to cure back ache (because FIR is also used as medical equipments, and therapy for muscle pain, back ache, etc). I will update about the keberkesanan of this PB as time goes by. But as for now, I made this list to take note:

Current condition: 
- back ache
- breast problems about once a week
- body measurements: 32 inch, 30 inch, 33 inch (hmm.. hampir straight je cutting.. huhu)
- body weight: 46kgs

First time pakai PB today, it was quite susah. Terasa mcm susah nak pakai girdle die. At first felt quite tight, but as days goes by, terasa macam badan nicely wrapped up, or dipeluk. :)
