Acne. We all despise it, yet it keeps coming back into our lives without fail, for the most of us anyway. It is what happens when pores are clogged up with an oily substance, therefore unable to secrete it successfully out from the facial region. The failed attempts of trying to get rid of this substance results in the bumpy, all too familiar, acne. Acne is highly common and can be easily treated, however sometimes acne can leave its tracks and cause scarring on the face or other areas of the body including the back, chest, neck and upper arms.

Personally, when I was a teenager, some of my friends suffered from a high amount of acne predominantly around their faces. It would look red, inflamed and infected most of the time especially around the mouth and forehead sections. But was this the case for only my friends? No, definitely not. I too had a tough time dealing with my acne problems as a teenager, and well into my twenties.

This was especially the case for me as I had very oily skin naturally that would clog up my pores much easier. Even up until recently, I break out from time to time especially during times of high levels of stress. My job does not help in this sense, as I am constantly running around trying to meet deadlines to the best of my ability. And by the time I can achieve this, yep you guessed it, I break out all around my face and it makes me feel absolutely low. I had taken several hits to my self-esteem and confidence over the years, making me quite weary about my appearance and would make me very shy because of it.

I had tried to make my acne go away with many different types of lotions, creams, and even oral medication but most were not very effective for me. The ones that seemed to work would only mildly help for a very short amount of time. This was very disappointing for me and worrying about them would just make it worse because of the added stress! I had made my acne condition worsen by engaging in negative habits such as touching my skin, trying to pop them (grotesque, I know!), staying out in the sun for prolonged periods of time, and not applying suitable makeup on my face that would end up clogging my already clogged up pores even more! It was like a never ending cycle that I could not seem to get out of.

I had learnt to manage my acne as best as I could through regular exercise and eating clean with a strict diet, which had been quite effective and carried me through for many years until my acne started to wear down. However, as my acne had started to diminish slowly on its own, I had noticed a deterioration of my skin over the years. Starting from late high school years, or when I was about 16, I noticed major differences in my skin.

My skin was starting to become discoloured in many sections and I noticed miniature pits in my skin from where my acne used to be. I immediately had to consult a professional, so I made an appointment with my general practitioner in order to diagnose what was exactly going on. Instead of having red, inflamed and infected acne surrounding my face, I was now left with pitted spots that I definitely did not approve of. After an assessment from my general practitioner, I was advised that I had something referred to as acne scarring. Acne scarring was the end result of my battle with acne, leaving marks on my face that were very unsightly to me as they were quite deep over the years of traumatising my skin on a daily basis.

I was prescribed specialised creams that would prevent any further scarring to occur, and other medications that would work to make the existing scars from becoming even worse. Once again, I had felt like these methods were not quite right for me and that a better solution that was more suitable for me was out there. I had consulted many of my friends about what I should to do to try and treat my acne scarring, with some suggesting that I needed to be very patient as years worth of acne would not easily let their marks diminish over 3 months. Some suggested that I leave my skin as it is and trust that time will heal it all on its own (which I made clear to them that I highly doubted it!) and some suggested I seek an alternative type of method that may be a highly effective acne scarring treatment.

I had taken on the latter advice and decided to do some research on acne scar treatment in specialised clinics who were professionals for these kinds of dermatological issues. Not long after my commencement, I came across JN Laser and Beauty Clinic who were leaders in acne scar treatments and gave them a call instantly. I was advised to come in for an initial personalised consultation in order to accurately see what the full situation was and the best methods to undertake to treat it effectively. JN Laser and Beauty Clinic were very informative as they had told me the exact process I would go through with the most medically advanced techniques currently available within the industry.

I can confidently state that after a some sessions of acne scar treatment at JN Laser and Beauty Clinic, my acne scarring was becoming significantly less visible. My pitted scars were becoming much more shallow and the discolouration around my facial region were beginning to even out. The texture of my skin had become dramatically smoother, much more smoother than what it what even in my high school days! I am amazed at how far acne scar treatments have come and highly recommend the amazing work by the highly skilled professionals at JN Laser and Beauty Clinic. I no longer had to hide my face in pictures or look down when people tried to talk to me. My confidence and self-esteem have now been restored and I am loving my new found self worth all thanks to JN Laser and Beauty Clinic! My past acne issues and its reminders were now left in the past, where they belong.

Dentist appointment , Dental Treatment. Yes, I know that some of you can feel your heart beating faster just by looking at those two words. I certainly do not blame you for it either, with all the movies showing big and loud dental equipment entering into the mouth of the person trying to get away. Once upon a time, I was just like that myself. The very idea of going for a simple dental appointment would make me highly anxious and uncomfortable, with many of my friends having to convince me for hours on end to go on the day. I have always followed normal procedure when it comes to my oral hygiene.

Since I was younger, I was always aware of how to look after myself after my mother had drilled it into my head (she was a nurse, which meant in the very little time I got to spend with her, she would teach me about all the important things to do with my health, how to do things in her absence, all that sort of stuff). Not only that, but the invaluable lessons in health starting from kindergarten all the way through to the end of my high school years were definitely something that I paid great attention to. As many of you have probably also heard, your smile is your best accessory which is why I would do my best to maintain my daily routine when it came to brushing and flossing.

I must admit though, I would try extra hard to look after my teeth and gums at home to avoid (or at least delay) the dreaded dentist appointments. For many years, I had managed to keep my oral health in check, that is, the dentist would always give me the tick of approval and let me know I have done a great job at looking after myself (phew!) But it wasn’t until one day when my good friends and I decided to go get some fish and chips as well as some calamari at one of our favourite places near the seaside. The weather was great as it was a long summer night, which made our choice for dinner fit in perfectly after a great day at the beach.

Our food had finally arrived and was looking and smelling delicious as always. After I had my first bite, I had experienced a shooting pain from the back of my jaw that suddenly began to radiate around my ear and side of my throat. It was absolutely excruciating (it is making me cringe just writing about it!) However, a few day before hand, I was beginning to experience a much milder version of that pain, which was something I could bare. It made me slightly concerned as I had done everything right by my dentist and had gotten the green light after many appointments. I simply could not manage to eat anymore, the pain was starting to become too much. My friends are actually very caring people, but because I am known to be a bit of an exaggerator when it comes to pain they just told me to relax and take some light painkillers until it subsided. I was beginning to think that they were right, and that it was nothing to be too concerned about after the painkillers had worked and allowed me to have a good night’s rest.

Feeling assured and pain free, I had made my way to work and began the busy week that awaited me. About 2 hours later, the pain had decided to creep back to my jaw and make me highly uncomfortable. I had made my decision, it was time for a check up with my dentist to put an end to this. I made my appointment once again at Parkwood Green Dental, which are close for anyone who is looking for a dentist in keilor, who were able to book me in for an appointment after very short notice. You see, my anxiety tends to get much worse as I walk into the waiting room and then manages to get amplified one hundred times over when I sit in the dental chair. Luckily enough, my dentist at Parkwood Green Dental is highly experienced and very skilled at what she does. My ridiculously high levels of anxiety at each visit also call for some calming down by my dentist and the friendly nurses.

The appointment had commenced and almost instantly, the dentist had made it clear that my lower gum were significantly inflamed and in need of urgent attention. This did not help and I started to get extremely uncomfortable. The dentist assured me that everything will be fine and that she needs to look further into what exactly was going on. And then the dreaded news had finally arrived. My wisdom tooth had decided to pay me a visit. I instantly started to panic after the horror stories I had heard about wisdom teeth and the way they are removed. The dentist and nurses, as always, had told me that it was nothing to be concerned about and that it was a common occurrence that needed to be treated in a quick fashion to prevent further discomfort or potential infections.

That was the last thing I needed, a bad infection that could disrupt my work schedule and make meal times painful and something not to look forward to. For those that may not be fully aware, wisdom teeth are the last rear molars that tend to erupt in your late teens or early twenties in most cases. Depending on various factors including jaw structure, the eruption of wisdom teeth may not be problematic as the jaw can accommodate them, and does not lead to overcrowding. Overcrowding can cause the teeth to move closer together, affecting your bite or push them sideways toward your cheek which can cause ulcers and problems with chewing.

One of my friends that I see quite regularly since high school had encountered the wisdom tooth issue and she was complaining about ongoing pain for quite some time. However, after having a series of x-rays to see the best way to treat the pain, her dentist had advised her that getting her wisdom teeth removed was not necessary. Instead, in order to help the wisdom teeth to be able to come through without the pain persisting on a daily basis, a small incision to her gum was all it took for the eruption to occur hassle free. That was great news for her, and she carries on with no issues. It was not that simple in my case, as my x-ray had determined that my jaw could not actually accommodate another set of molars without affecting my current teeth and causing rubbing against my cheek. I needed to get them removed.

I immediately began to think of those gruesome movie scenes I mentioned to you earlier. Big, unfriendly looking apparatus that was designed to almost excavate my gums and leave me in more pain than I originally complained about. After a solid talk with my dentist, she had calmly told me that the procedure of wisdom teeth removals were done under anaesthetic which meant I would not feel any pain. Luckily for me, the removal of my wisdom tooth would be an easy task as my roots had not completely formed as of yet (not far off) making it easier to extract from my gum. After some serious contemplation and calls to my friends, they had convinced me that it was the right decision.

I was finally ready to get my wisdom tooth removed. My regular dentist at Parkwood Green Dental has many years of experience, which made me feel more at ease with the whole extraction and I knew she would get it right. After a few painless needles to my gum and the surrounding areas to numb them, I could not feel any pain during the procedure. I was constantly checked up on as the nurses and dentist asked to see how I was feeling, and whether I felt any form of discomfort.

To my surprise, I did not feel any pain as it was only the feeling of soft pressure as the dentist skilfully (and gently) removed my wisdom tooth. I had no idea that the molars in a human mouth could actually be of that size, but then again I was not the most knowledgeable when it came to the anatomical structure. My dentist told me that it would take a few days for any kind of bleeding or pain to subside, and that gentle painkillers would be more than enough to help me during the healing process.

Although I took great care of my gums and teeth by regularly brushing and flossing, the eruption of my wisdom tooth had completely caught me off guard and highly anxious. But after my experience of getting my wisdom tooth removed at Parkwood Green Dental, my opinion on dental check ups and any kind of procedures associated with it had changed for the better. Not only are Parkwood Green Dental great at performing wisdom teeth removals, but they also have a wide range of services such as teeth whitening, comprehensive exams, dentures, bridges, crowns, laser teeth whitening treatment and more. I highly recommend the services of Parkwood Green Dental, they will change the way you view dentists and eliminate any anxiety you have during your next visit! Smile brighter today with Parkwood Green Dental.

Planning an adventure packed getaway is usually hard for anyone, especially knowing that most of us are extremely time poor and have countless other responsibilities to fulfil. Work and family nature life was beginning to stress my husband and I out, and we never really got the chance to get out of the house (except when he leaves for work and I have to drop off the kids to school!) It felt like all work and no play and it was beginning to nature become too much nature. One day after dropping the kids  nature off to school, I continued on with my usual daily routine. This routine consisted of cleaning the rooms, doing the dishes, hanging up the washing, pick up the kids, get dinner ready nature, go to bed. I almost had no quality time with my husband, friends and family.

As I was washing the dishes that day, it occurred to me. Why not go away on a mini day trip with my husband and our friends as a group nature? I instantly jumped on the phone to call my husband, but as always he was far too busy to answer. In the meantime, I made myself a well deserved coffee, grabbed my laptop from my bedroom and made myself comfortable on the couch. The weather was overcast and by no means great, which was really a big indication that it was time to get away and actually soak up some great weather. As I was about to embark on my search for the perfect little getaway, my phone began to ring. It was one of my very close friends named Alyssa who wanted to see if I was up for a morning coffee. I told her I was at home having my own coffee at home and told her to come over so I could tell her all about my plan. Getting back to the task at hand, I began to scroll down the list of all the different destinations and came across a beautiful resort up in Queensland.

I knew it would be close to impossible to travel that far, as we are from Melbourne and given the workload that my husband had along with the time constraints, it would be hard to manage a holiday of that sort. The doorbell rang, my friend had finally arrived with some homemade muffins (she was one of the best bakers I had ever met in my life!) I sat her down and told her the situation, and to my surprise she told me that she was also having the same conversation with her husband not too long ago. This was a perfect coincidence, as I had originally planned to go with a few of our friends. We frantically began to brainstorm a few destinations we had always wanted to go to and discover. Alyssa, being the social butterfly that she is, immediately called up a few of her friends to ask whether they had any great recommendations. An old high school friend of ours told her she and her husband recently went on a day trip with a tour group. We invited her to come over and give us more details about her experience. It was beginning to feel like a holiday group meeting, but it was something we all desperately needed.

I had always wondered what a day tour group getaway would be like. I personally really enjoy the idea of meeting new people, making new connections and finding out a bit more about all the wonderful stories that were just waiting to be shared by people from all walks of life. After Kerri, our old highschool friend, it was time to get down to business. We were asking her so many questions at once that she had no idea where to start, we could barely contain our excitement as if we were ready to leave in a few hours.

Kerri told us that she and her husband, along with their 3 kids actually went with a tour group through a recommendation from one of her husband’s co-workers. It was with a tour group company called Melbourne Coastal Touring and specialised in taking groups of people on tours throughout The Great Ocean Road, Mornington Peninsula, Phillip Island, selected wineries and other amazing destinations. And the best part? It was all here in Melbourne, meaning it was just the perfect opportunity to get away with as less hassle as possible. It would have been hard for our husbands to refuse this option; it was a great way to escape the daily grind we all wanted to escape for a moment. We jumped back onto the laptop to learn a little bit more about what Melbourne Coastal Touring had to offer.

You know the feeling you get when you just have too many great options that are all very suitable for you? Yeah, it was starting to become a major task just trying to figure out which one we wanted to go on the most. Flustered, overwhelmed and at times confused with all the wonderful offers Melbourne Coastal Touring had available, we actually managed to come to a solid conclusion. That is, 4 coffees, several choc chip muffins and and 3 hours later! We had decided on The Great Ocean Road day tour. All of us had not actually been to The Great Ocean Road since we were little girls, and we definitely miss it. It was the perfect package for all of us.

Melbourne Coastal Touring had everything covered, ranging from departure all the way to dining and arrival. We made a booking for two weeks time and started packing the same day we booked. Overeager? Possibly. Excited? Definitely. After what seemed to be a painfully long two weeks, it was finally the day of the tour. As three couples ready to go on a day trip, we were all really excited that we were doing this all together. It was a great way to spend quality time and actually bond over something we did for ourselves for a change. We were picked up from our hotel close to 8 in the morning. We had a small group of 10 people all together, with two other couples similar to our age who had also booked the same trip.

We all instantly hit it off and were chatting nonstop, it was just a great experience. Our morning tea was located in the beautiful anglesea township, where we had a great opportunity to stop and rest while we got to know our travel companions a lot better. They were two couples who were also friends and worked as architects, and we laughed over the coincidence that we all knew each other, too. After finishing up, we continued on our trip. Taking as many photos as our memory cards on our phones and cameras would allow, we were hitting all the popular landmarks that the area had to offer. Snaps of the iconic Great Ocean Road sign, passing through popular Lorne and visiting Kennett River to see the beautiful koalas was only the beginning! Although these were great, they were all the entrée to the true gem of Melbourne, The 12 Apostles.

It was a long trip, but with great company and plenty of laughs and stories along the way, it was a trip well worth it. The crashing waves hugging the shoreline, and the magnificent giants that stood tall from the crystal water left us speechless. The feeling of wind in your hair, sun shining bright and the view was just the perfect combination. We took a large amount of pictures and videos from the popular boardwalk and stayed for a good amount of time admiring the natural formations that blew everyone away. In that moment, none of us were thinking about work, daily commitments or anything else for that matter. It was just us and the picture perfect scenery that was before our eyes. We were inspired, lost in the moment and refreshed. They were all the exact reasons we wanted to take part in this mini getaway and it sure delivered in bucket loads. We got back to the tour vehicle and made our way back home for what felt like a long, welcomed trip. Thanks to The Great Ocean Road day trip, we were able to socialise with people we most likely would have never gotten the nature opportunity to meet. Upon our arrival, we waved our fantastic and friendly tour guide goodbye and thanked them for the amazing experience. Our husbands got along great and exchanged numbers to plan a game of golf, they seemed to have hit it off more than us women!

But nevertheless, we also got along great with the girls and also exchanged numbers as well as connecting on social media. To this day, we still keep in touch and share memories of our beautiful and well deserved day trip. With many more trips to come thanks to Melbourne Coastal Touring, a long lasting and enriching friendship awaits us. The take home message? Stop waiting for the “right time” to get away, experience what nature has to offer on a frequent basis and immerse yourself in positive relationships that will keep you inspired.

Sitting many hours? Relentless lower or upper back pain issues? Perpetual backaches, tingling sensations or small spasms? These are accumulative symptoms that lead to chronic and acute back pain problems. With technology evolving ever so rapidly and rigorously, medical engineers have exceeded expectations and are in the designing phase for new nano-chips that will monitor and asses back pain, with the potential of alleviating its root cause. However, realism hits like a truck when you take a glimpse at the price tags of these new technological advancements. Technology in most medical forms has yet to be proven, especially with acute lower or upper back pain, that is why chiropractors and especially knowledgeable chiropractors extend their fundamental anatomical knowledge to reach out to patients that suffer from intense back pain, providing temporary or in some cases infinite back pain relief.

Extended research has shown that the human body contains its own inner endorphins. Endorphins are pain suppressing mechanisms that will alleviate pain and discomfort. They can have the ability to act as natural painkillers! Various techniques can be utilised to release these hormones. Aerobic exercise, meditation and chiropractic massages are all capable of triggering this response in the body freeing these natural painkillers, thus relieving back pain. Is it that easy? Well, technically, it is not. Chiropractors need extensive experience and knowledge to pinpoint the vital points on each client. Sydney Chiropractor has mastered pain relief techniques and specialises in lower back pain relief. Equipped with the latest technological gadgets that will assist in the chiropractic session, Sydney Chiropractor is bound to relief pain and stress from your body. With advanced techniques and experience you are in the hands of the best.

How are your sleeping patterns? Rough? Well if you didn’t know – insomnia is caused by acute back pain symptoms and could be a detrimental reason to why you can’t fall asleep of have trouble doing so. The muscles in your abdominal region and back play a pivotal role in supporting your lower spine. If this complexion of muscles don’t get a good workout during the course of a normal day, they then need to be focused on with exercise. Maintaining a strong lower back core will increase appetite for sleep, thus relieving you from the majority of back pain symptoms. Applying hot and cold pads to the desired painful area is also a good idea and can be utilised in conjunction with a chiropractic session to enhance final results. However, each therapy has its advantages. Cold therapy reduces swelling and inflammation typically acting and slowing down nerve endings. Just like a local anesthetic! On the contrary, heat therapy stimulates blood flow, rushing healing nutrients to the desired area. It also inhibits the pain messengers that will be sent to the brain, thus relieving drastically!

Sydney Chiropractor are devoted to the excellence of their patients, engaging with them and enlightening them on a plethora of stretches and home remedies that will work cohesively with their scheduled chiropractic sessions. Knowledge is key and without experience and knowledge you will not get the most out of your session with alternative chiropractors.

With Sydney Chiropractor by your side, you shouldn’t have to worry. Say your farewell to back pain, once and for all!

From ancient Egypt and Greece, the popularity of back treatments was researched and examined. Ancient techniques were studied and the basic chiropractic technique back then was spine manipulation. This would involve spinal adjustments depending on the degree of pain and alignment of each individual. These maneuvers were at primary stages but gained popularity in the late 19th century, with the development of osteopathic and chiropractic medicine originating in North America. Spinal manipulation as mentioned above took more of a medically orientated approach by massaging the affected area’s muscles releasing tension between muscles and in turn relieving lower or upper back pain. This primary procedure has now cemented itself as the backbone of chiropractic practice and constitutes the leading technique up until this date. Safety is always a concern with new procedures, however Sydney Chiropractor has extensive knowledge and experience to define correct proceedings and back pain relief treatments. With immaculate and sophisticated areas to perform chiropractic techniques you will indulge and relax and before you know it, back pain will disappear!

Sydney Chiropractor goes the extra mile by educating clients on spinal procedures and techniques they can perform safely at the comfort of their own home. These could include hamstring stretches. You might ask, why the hamstring? One of the easiest things you can do to help alleviate lower back pain is to gently stretch your hamstrings. Tight hamstrings will stress your lower back and sacroiliac joints, leading to additional and more acute pain. This will enable you to get back on track to a healthy, vivid and happy lifestyle – the one you always envisioned! Sydney Chiropractor will also engage in various techniques that will free and inhibit pain stimulus with precise massaging and elaborate on mental attributes you can add to your daily routine in order to stimulate natural pain relief hormones that will provide a boost to your health!

What really is panic? Is it a mixture of anxiety blended with fear and negativity as the cherry on top? Sydney Investigator would like to address a plethora of issues, since national panic day is around the corner (9th March).

We are constantly on the prowl to find hair products and treatments that will leave our hair with that beautiful lustre and bounce. Admit it girls, at some point we have had a great hair day where we feel Hollywood-ready; bouncing locks at each step, incredible shine and the perfect amount of volume. But then, when you woke up the next day it all felt like a dream, making you think “did that really happen?” How do I know? Because that is the story of my hair life Organic Hair Products. For the sake of this blog, let me explain the kind of hair I am destined to deal with every waking moment of my life. Firstly, I am a proud brunette. With long and thick hair that is naturally wavy, I can tell you girls that it is a mission to tame it each day. Do not get me wrong, I love my hair (when I style it right). Girls, for any of you who can relate then you will also agree that after straightening your hair, it is highly prone to multiplying in size relatively quickly after any outing, especially in the wind or ultra hot days. Because of this, I am always looking for the next best hair products to help manage my thick and wavy hair that is enemies with most of the weather conditions Australia has to offer. Not only Australia, but my recent trip to Vanuatu proved to be a royal rumble between my hair and the extra humid weather (I’ll save that for another time!) It almost felt like “ding, ding! Round 1!” being a total knockout where my hair was not the winning contender..once again.

Due to the constant heat being applied to my hair from my frequent straightening, I found that my hair was becoming increasingly dry, frizzy and unruly so I began to search for treatments that would help me with my issue. I was happy with them for a while, but later discovered that they were doing more damage than good with the inclusion of chemical and nasty toxins. My hair felt lifeless and flat. My scalp was becoming irritated and dry. This was extremely distressing for me, as I consider my hair to be a major part of my appearance. A friend of mine was experiencing similar problems to me, she was complaining of frizzy hair that quickly made the ends of her hair look almost fluffy and destroyed. She recommended I check out organic hair products that were becomingly increasingly popular as a healthier alternative to traditional hair care products that seemed to not work for my hair. I was in need of hair products that were not going to be harsh on my scalp and hair, something that would ensure my hair got back the shine it once had without stripping essential oils out of my hair itself.

After taking on my friend’s recommendation, I began to look for organic hair products when I discovered a diamond in the rough called chikii.com.au who were specialists in all sorts of organic products to suit your needs. But let’s just keep to organic hair products for now, shall we? As I was perusing the website, I came across some certified salon-grade organic hair products that sparked my interest as they were also vegan. These organic hair products were packed full of the goodies that our hair will love us for, including pure plant herbal extracts, pure essential oils and many more naturally sourced elements that work to nourish and revitalise hair. I came across Chikii’s Ausganica organic hair product range that made hair styling easy after replenishing and nurturing the all important natural oils in your hair to achieve shinier and silky hair. Let me give you the low down on what they are and how they work.

Ausganica Lavender Soothing Conditioner and shampoo

Personally, this is one Ausganica product from Chikii that I highly recommend to all my friends and family, and now you. It was everything I was looking for all packed into one bottle, complete life saver (or should I say, hair saver!) After the first application, I found that my scalp was no longer irritated and dry and helped to tame my thick and wavy hair that I could barely manage prior to discovering this little natural beauty. It contains pure active botanicals including calendula, argan, Australian Daisy Flower, and chamomile that all work to moisturise and soothe sensitive scalps like mine for beautiful looking hair. The light natural scent of lavender is just an added bonus! The restorative qualities in this product are derived from calendula and chamomile, alongside comfrey and olive wax that repair damage.

Ausganica Litsea Cubeba Volumising Conditioner and Shampoo

Another natural beauty from the Ausganica hair care range that made it to my personal collection is the Ausganica Litsea Cubeba Volumising Conditioner and Shampoo. It contains natural wonders that improve the health and look of your hair including amla for better bounce and shine, horse tail for greater volume and body, hops for a boost in natural enzymes and oils, papaya for a weightless feel, litsea cubeba for hair loss prevention, argan oil for root strengthening and evening primrose oil for scalp protection and restoration. This unique concoction of natural products have definitely secured their place on my all-time favourites list along with Synthesis Shampoo with Kakadu Plum, and Kalapa Shampoo for Dry or Damaged Hair all available at chikii.com.au .

Now, for those of you who are big on organic hair treatments, do not fret. How could I ever forget about you?

Live Native Deep Hair Repair Conditioning Balm

This leave-in treatment does absolute wonders for my hair. As the name suggests, it deeply repairs your hair (which is great after styling with heat so much) to help regain that volume and shine all us girls love all with the coconut-ty goodness! It also contains natural ingredients including Rosemary, Neem oils, and Tea Tree to increase circulation in the scalp to promote hair growth. Leave in the hair for about 1 hour (or overnight for even better results) after massaging the product into your hair and scalp. After this process, rinse out thoroughly and repeat the process daily in smaller quantities to help combat frizz (yes please!) The list does not end there. I also highly recommend Annmarie Gianni Rosemary Toning Mist and Raw Argan oil for soft, healthy and beautiful hair you are proud to show off just like me. Come on girls, get your hands on some of these natural goodies for a great hair day, every day!

I experienced some envy and guilt the other day. Actually, quite a lot of envy and guilt. It was a Saturday morning and I needed to grab a few things from the shops. You know, the usual routine. Now I know a lot of us probably go through this, the “New Year’s Resolution”. On the remaining hours of 2015, my girlfriends and I were enjoying a nice glass of wine while talking about the major highlights and lowlights that the year had given us. Then I was asked what my New Year’s Resolution was. I had actually thought about what it could be a few days earlier, weighing up in my mind what I really wanted to change, what I wanted to achieve to make the coming year something special and great. After running a long list of options through my mind, I had finally come to a decision about what my resolution could be. I had decided it would be to get fit and get right back into sports. Cliche? Perhaps. Realistic? definitely.

I was ready to plunge right into a change that had the power to transform my self-esteem, confidence and overall health. But back to why I was experiencing large amounts of envy and guilt. I walked back to the car dressed in a hoodie, casual trackies and runners that were not very well kept (after all, I much prefer my sky high platform heels!) It was when I sat in the driver’s seat when I noticed a group of women dressed in workout gear from head to toe. Vibrantly coloured running shoes (mine were quite worn out with dirt here and there), skin tight workout leggings with various patterns and shapes on them (my trackies were black, baggy and had long passed its expiry date), and heart rate measuring gear wrapped around their arms. One was even pushing a baby stroller. Basically, I looked and felt like a mess with a loaf of bread, chocolate milk and a magazine on the seat next to me. Enough to trigger feelings of envy and guilt? Yeah, I think so.

It was at that moment when I wanted to bring my hoodie up over my face and hide. It was a harsh reminder that I completely dishonoured my New Year’s Resolution. I had not followed through with it again, much like all the times when me and the girls would say “this is the last cookie, the diet starts on Monday!” Don’t get me wrong. I am not extremely unfit. I look after myself and eat well (most of the time). But it just was not enough. As you all may know, fellow readers, maintaining and balanced and healthy lifestyle is crucial to increase the quality of life and decrease the likelihood of disease onset in the coming years.

Staying active was my main goal, at least having some kind of schedule put into place that I could follow and complete certain physical activity programs in allocated times. This was supposed to happen and begin on the first day of the year, but hey, better late than never! Once upon a time, I was told that when you tell other people who are close to you about your exercising and dieting plans to build up a supportive network. For me, this usually means letting people know I want to exercise and when I refuse to kick me up out of bed (this is true). So that was exactly what I set out to do. I told all my girlfriends and family that this was the real deal. I was dedicating myself to my workout schedule. I needed an upgrade on my current (very little) range of workout gear as a source of motivation. I had usually seen television ads with active and happy couples wear great workout gear and sophisticated heart rate monitors. I needed those.

So I set out to find new running shoes, sports clothes, drink bottles and a diary to track my progress along the way. I am quite busy and time poor because of my job, so I gave countless hours of shopping around a miss and went to search for what I needed online. The highly saturated fitness market seemed a little too much for me, with prices skyrocketing as I flicked through more and more stores. I was looking for high quality running gear without the expensive price-tag. After visiting Joggers World, my opinion on the fitness market completely changed. They helped me keep my New Year’s Resolution by actually providing great quality work out and running gear at great prices. After searching what the other places had to offer, I was very happy with the globally-renowned running gear Joggers World had in stock. With something to suit everyone, including women, men, and children, it was easy to see why Joggers World are industry-leaders when it comes to running shoes, running clothes and running accessories. Something else that made me really want to continue searching through what they had available on their website was the fact that they are authorised retailers to brands including Adidas, Nike, Mizuno, Brooks, Asics and many more.

I could now train hard thanks to the brands that were essentially the “kings of the fitness industry” all without breaking the bank! What else could I ask for? Hmm.. maybe a few shorts and tops for the times I work up a sweat. Everything I needed was available at Joggers World. I also want to let my fellow readers know that the running shoes I had purchased, specifically Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 32 are something else! The support and comfort while I work out is truly second to none. Both lightweight and durable, I can tackle any surface that comes my way be it asphalt, grass, or on the court. I am super happy with my high quality purchase at a great price! All it took was a little time searching for the most appropriate running gear that suited my goals and my budget, and hey presto! I no longer felt any feelings of envy or guilt. I was well on my way to achieving my fitness goals with my new-found running gear that will last for a very long time to come. New Year’s Resolution? Check!

Velbexx-17 would like to welcome you to experience our reinvigorating, life changing pain relief balm. Our natural pain relief products mend and provide relief from a plethora of acute pain issues.

Our diversity and excellence in our variety of products is evident. We provide natural pain relief products that target and eliminate tension headaches. A famous yet unsolved mystery in the medical world. Headaches can originate from nothing and most likely are not a worry. However in some cases can lead to further complications. The majority of medication tends to suppress headaches by inhibiting pain receptors. Velbexx-17’s tension headache balm works in concordance with the skins receptors that will penetrate the nervous system naturally. With natural oils and immaculate substances, pain should be a thing of the past. The pain caused by tension headaches can radiate from the lower back of the head, the neck, eyes, or other muscle groups in the body typically affecting both sides of the head. Our tension headache natural products aim to relax and gradually cure the acute pain you are experiencing. Natural methods are the way forward.

Carrying on the tree of acute pain and discomfort we stumble upon ligament sprains. Ligament sprains can be explained relatively simply. A ligament is a solid band of tissue that is responsible for the connection of two bones. Commonly ruptured ligaments tend to be located in the knee and foot. Damaging ligaments can prove to produce excruciating pain for the individual. Velbexx-17 with their medically orientated staff, global connections with medical industries and general excellence have performed extensive studies on finding the correct ingredients that will provide that temporary pain relief you are seeking. Not only is it temporary, but the course of pain diminishes after repeated usage. Ligament discomfort is a matter of urgency. You should consult your doctor before actively going back to your routine. Velbexx-17 is here to assist your rehabilitation process with the utmost finest australian made balms. Our medical team here at Velbexx-17 often note that an abundance of people make the mistake of being either too eager to rush back into athletic activities after a sprain or strain. That is why we advise the use of our immaculate creams combined with rest and ease, for perfect results.

The final topic of discussion is back pain. I know, who doesn’t have back pain? Let’s be honest! From the time of human existence even up to know, where technology have revolutionised atomic physics theories and computing science establishments we still can’t cure a lower or upper back pain propery! It is in the human race – natural process of degeneration and aeging that will most likely cause acute back pain. The back tends to support the majority of pressure and weight of your body. Posture issues and back pain is inevitable without a healthy and active lifestyle. Nevertheless, Velbexx-17 has constructed back pain relief products that will minimise disturbance and enhance your will to move and engulf an active lifestyle. Our products cover the array of tension headache treatment , general headache treatment, ligament sprain treatment, upper back pain relief, lower back pain relief, muscle strain treatment, neck muscle pain, sprain treatment, injury treatment and last but not least joint pain relief products!

It is fairly common for people in today’s day and age to experience some kind of pain in their back, neck, or other areas in the body. Experiencing such pain can be quite taxing on the body, often resulting in little to no or little mobility. Quality of life can drastically decline, placing many people and their families in a state of constant distress for prolonged periods of time. This can occur due to reduced income due after not being able to work because of specific conditions, the medical appointments that may be required as a way of pain relief and expensive medication that inevitably follows as part of general treatment. As a sufferer of severe neck pain on a frequent basis, it is a highly unpleasant and uncomfortable time that makes me unable to leave the house for a number of days, to say the least. Because of this, I would find myself making several appointments that would usually end up with me making several trips to the pharmacy straight after. I also was never too big on taking medication, especially on a regular basis. It was an ongoing hassle for me (and people around me) as I would miss out on important things such as meeting work deadlines and special occasions. It was beginning to be too much.

After another appointment with my general practitioner, she referred me to a chiropractor that was nearby and had years of relevant experience. Now, the underlying principle of chiropractic care is that when changes to the normal structure and function of the skeletal system as well as muscles and surrounding tissue occur, negative effects such as pain and discomfort can occur. Further, these changes in the structure and function can cause pain and discomfort in other areas of the body. For example, pain and discomfort experienced in the lower spine may result in sections of the upper region of the spine to take on the extra “job” that the lower spine can no longer complete. Because of the added strain and pressure that the upper spine is now under, pain may radiate or shoot up to the neck or head areas, causing mild to severe headaches or neck pains (something I can definitely relate to). This is the case for many different types of areas in the body. Another example is where lower back pain may cause someone to not walk properly, thus producing further issues in the legs or ankles. This is something that my father experiences, severe lower back pain that would also leave him bedridden for weeks. This would be tough on us, as it is always hard to see a loved one in pain, as well as hard on the household because he could not return to work for long periods of time.

The good news is that there is always a solution to decrease or completely eradicate pain due to chiropractic therapy. Chiropractic therapy has been documented to ease headaches or migraines, postural problems, back injuries, lower back pain , joint pain, and has even been effective in treating period pain for many women with specialised methods. Now, for those of you wondering what the process of visiting an experienced chiropractor involves, you are in luck. When you arrange an appointment with your chiropractor, the appointment will begin with preliminary health questions. The chiropractor will ask a series of questions about your condition and begin a physical examination as a way of evaluating your current state of health. In order to paint an accurate picture of your current state of health, the chiropractor may request you walk around and watch the way you do so in order to examine how your pain or discomfort may be impacting your mobility. This includes watching how you stand and balance yourself as it may provide an indication of the exact source of pain for the best outcome to be achieved. Examining your spine, pelvis, head region and other areas is paramount for successful chiropractic therapy to occur. In some cases, the chiropractor may also request a series of x-rays to gain a visual display of what the problem may be caused by.

The primary treatment is usually spinal manipulation techniques that work to adjust your spinal alignment, which in cases, is a major contributor to pain experienced in various areas of the body. It is common for the chiropractor to adjust the way you sit, stand, or position yourself while lying on a flat surface depending on what is causing the pain and discomfort. Fellow readers, it is time to dispel the common myth that puts many people off chiropractic therapy. The clicking sounds that may occur during therapy (usually exaggerated in the movies, much like everything else!) is nothing to be worried about. At all. I can tell you from personal experience that you cannot even feel anything on the occasion that it happens. It is just your bones realigning themselves, meaning you are in good hands (literally). There are many methods that chiropractic therapy may involve depending on your condition including using specialised instruments, pressing or pushing on or around the area in pain, applying pressure, placing wedges beneath the body for corrective treatment and many more techniques.

There are many variables that determine the type of treatment method administered including pre-existing conditions such as circulation disorders, arthritis, previous treatments and surgery, body weight, age, pregnancy, current and previous medication and many more factors. I am continuing to seek chiropractic therapy as it enables me to manage my severe neck pain. I am taking less days off work, spending more quality time with my loved ones, and have increased the quality of life significantly since my first appointment. I personally recommend my current chiropractor to relieve any pain or discomfort you may be experiencing. I know how much it can take out of your mobility, work life, and general quality of life.
