Health & Beauty Review

Ultralipo at Vietura Aesthetic Lifestyle

Last year, I shared how exciting it was that Vietura was partnering with me and my blog to offer my readers a more in depth view into the non-invasive treatments that they specialize in.

Having a set plan for my skin and health care feels really good. I enjoy my time away from the responsibilities of motherhood, house, and home. I don’t feel guilty about taking care of myself.

After writing that first blog post, I’ll admit that I haven’t been able to visit as frequently as I would have liked, but I’m finally back on track to taking better care of myself. There were quite a few months that got away from me. From the round up and busy days before and after holidays, it seemed like I just could not get a handle on managing my time and getting things straight for myself.

This new found commitment to taking better care of myself, came on the heels of a hellish weekend that was chock full of activities. After being terribly sick just before writing this,  and having that particular Saturday where our family of six needed to be in 5 different places at once, we rounded it off with a ton more activities all to take place on a Sunday as well. After that weekend, I knew that I wanted that particular Monday to be kicked off with better self care.

The treatment rooms are all very calming and relaxing. Because this was a relatively easy treatment to undergo, I almost fell asleep!

The treatment rooms in Vietura are all very calming and relaxing. Because this was a relatively easy treatment to undergo, I almost fell asleep!

So I arranged for some quiet time in the Vietura treatment rooms. 

Originally, I had planned for a PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment to kick off my new found self care routine, but after meeting with Doc Paolo, he suggested I try something a little less invasive. I was still on antibiotics from the bacterial strep the week before, so,  he asked if I was ready to start my Ultralipo treatment instead.

Ultralipo at Vietura is simple, painless, and easy. I had heard about my friend, Jackie‘s experience with Ultralipo and was super curious as to whether I would experience the same kind of amazing results.

The Ultralipo machine is unassuming and has a wand that the technician rubs across your belly. (Very similar to an ultrasound when you are pregnant) When the technician goes back and forth over the areas of concern, you hear this really high pitched ringing sound. ( I heard it the entire time she was using the wand.)

The technician sets the intensity level with a touch of a screen.

This high pitched ringing sound is using the ultrasound technology to break up fat deposits. From what I learned, your body will then naturally excrete the broken down fat out when you relieve yourself after the treatment.This process of ridding your body of the fat that was broken down can take place up to one week after your treatment.

To be honest, I was a bit skeptical as to whether or not I would see a big difference, physically…BUT I totally did. For days, I kept looking at myself in the mirror to find a flatter tummy. 

Truth is, I have been a little self conscious in the past years of my lack of stomach muscles. It doesn’t affect me all the time, but it does bother me when I have to put on a form fitting dress or top. I know it shouldn’t bother me because the extra skin, stretch marks, and loosey goosey stomach means I was blessed with the ability to carry four beautiful miracles. 

Trying out this treatment, coupled with eating in moderation, and getting back on the mat will definitely have me feeling better about myself and the upcoming summer months. 

The only regret I have for this treatment, is not measuring my waist line for before and after proof.  I know my friend Jackie did to show the proven results of her first treatment. I will remember to do this the next time I undergo this procedure, simply because the proof is in the pudding.

Now, that we are starting a new year, I have an even newer sense of commitment to bringing my “sexy back.” Nino has lost quite a bit of weight, and I feel as if I have to play catch up to his new found interest in a healthier lifestyle. (Plus, I want to spend some time with him in the gym.) Plus…as they say now “Strong is the new Sexy.”

So, I will be back to Vietura to enjoy the benefits of many of their non invasive treatments for both health and beauty, and I will couple these treatments with watching what I eat, (no more dessert after every meal) and finding my way back on the mat at Evolve Yoga and Fitness. Wish me luck.

I think I can…I think I can…I think I can…I think I can…

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
