Verdicts on expensive vs cheap green tea.

 The more premium ones of course smells better, the green tea flavour is also stronger.
I Guess there is a differences in quality and effectiveness between them both.
Stronger flavour to me automatically translate to containing more of the green tea goodness like the antioxidants and whatever it has to help in losing weight.

How to tell if the green tea is of premium quality?

Fresh young leaves ( the young small leaves that just sprouted at the TOP of the plant) are supposedly the most expensive parts of the green tea leaves , so do make a note on that.

Smell the box. How does it smell?
Premium tea leaves are supposed to smell fragrant and fresh. It should not be giving off Any old cupboard smell.

Fragrance the stronger the better.

Premium green teas when brew will immediately give off strong green tea smell, the Color should be a light green. Not containing any brown.
If the tea is brown, there could be a mix of tea leaves of other cheaper quality.


All in all, green teas are generally not expensive.

Premium green teas actually will not cost you an arm or a leg .


Live life the healthy way

Do you WANT to be skinny on your Big Day?

I bet I'll hear a resounding YES everywhere.

It seems to be thin= beauty.

No necessary in my opinion.

I prefer to see some boobs and ass on a woman.

That's way more sexy than a boy's body don't you think?

So... 

What's too thin? And what's too fat?

Cellulites : you are too fat

You can be a size 6-8( US size here) and not be fat.

PS. I'm Asian so Asians are generally smaller.

As above.

How? Eat healthy, exercise. The age old answer to the age old question.

Cellulite is not attractive.

It can also make a skinny girl looks fat.

Let's start with some thing simple and slow.

If you still have a year to your wedding, congratulations, you will have a much easier time as you will now have ample time to improve your lifestyle and diet.

Step 1:

Start the habit of drinking green tea.

I love green tea!

We all know green tea is loaded with antioxidants. 

Antioxidants reduce and kills free radicals which are responsible for aging!

Green tea has also been shown to increase fat burner and boost metabolism rate!

Green tea also improve your bowel movement.

Drinking green tea regularly will regulate your bowel movement.

When you detox, it will show on your skin.

You don't have to change your diet and your exercise regime yet.

I think it's worth paying a bit more for premium grade green tea. Look for those who sources are from Japan or Korea.

These are my usual stock:

One day, I was feeling cheapskate so I decided to give this a try :

They cost about half but I can't taste and smell the aroma of the green tea leaves.

The filter bags ain't very well made as some of the dark roasted tea leaves bits will gather at the bottom of my cups.

I went Korea and decided to splurge a little on those premium grade green tea leaves 

I can actually feel my complexion improved instantaneously!

I see more radiance!

The aroma can fill up my entire bedroom :)

Of course, it comes with a price and these ain't cheap.

They are about 7 times more expensive than my usual green tea bags.

You can probably reduce the portion though, these little roasted leaves are pretty strong!

Try drinking green tea every day consistently for 2 weeks.

You will definitely see some minor changes

You will look better, feel better and your complexion will be better!

Let me know the effects of green tea on you after you incorporate them into your life!

Do you really have to be a skinny bride?

Many women tried insanely hard to lose weight for their Big day.

Did you?

I'm a narcissist, of course I did. But I'm also a lazy bum. So I only tried to control my diet and exercise for about 1 month.

I didn't get my desired result obviously. 

How much can be done in a month?

I only managed to lose 3kg, from 49kg to 46kg.
I wanted to lose 6kg, to a BMI of  17.2

I'm not beating myself over it.

Because I refuse to let 1 wedding define who I am. I will look pretty everyday. Not just on my big day.

I've seen bride who crash diet, losing 10-20kg over a course of a year.
I say bravo!
How many managed to keep it though?
I wish they did. I don't know how I will feel if my wedding photos are the ONLY time I will every look so good.

To all interested to how I lost 3kg in a month, from BMI 19.6 to 18.4.

No breakfast, I woke up at 11am, had fish soup noodle for lunch and a light dinner(no carbs).

Swim once to twice every week for 4 weeks.

It's pretty easy. In fact, this should be the easiest way to lose weight. No carbs, no crash dieting.

When the gown was first made, I couldn't zip up. My gown designer said she's gonna add another inch but I stopped her. I told her I will lose this and be able to fit in before the actual day.

:)

Don't be too hard on yourself, set an achievable aim.

The Beginning

I've decided to start this blog 6 months after my marriage.
This will be about the life of a stay at home wife.
Many women changed after major changes in their lives.
When they first step into the working world, marriage, having a baby.
Some changes are for the better, some are not necessary.
Some things don't have to change.

I hope this blog can encourage woman everywhere to stay true to themselves whilst welcoming all these changes.
Live. Love. Enjoy. Be fascinated.

I welcome all to share.
