Y Slimz Floor Master Review



I had always been a loyal Dettol user due to my obsessive attitude toward germ care. Their 99.9% claim completely had me sold!

Then one day, as I was walking along minding my own business at Carrefour and loading my trolley with a bottle of Dettol 4in1 Lavender, this sweet little old lady said to me,"Miss ah, why don't you try this product? It's got antiseptic properties due to the Tea Tree Oil and it also repels household pests whilst keeping your floors and work surfaces squeaky clean and shiny as if waxed!"

I actually didn't here anything she said past "Miss ah!" I mean somebody called me Miss! Can you beat that?! So of course I stopped and really gave her 5 minutes of my time and bought two bottles of the product she was waxing lyrical about (pun intended) after she assured me that I could come back to look for her if my plants died violent deaths, due to her claim that I could continue my green quest and water my household plants with my leftover mopping water...hmmm...

(Two weeks later) and yes, I am sold. The first time my floors really feel smooth and clean. My kitchen counters are smooth and clean. Ants and the fat lizard behind the toaster have moved to my neighbour's house, because she doesn't use Y Slimz Floor Master you see.

I even used the product along with a a few squirts of dishwashing liquid to wash my toilet. Amazing results! BTW did you know washing my toilet with dishwashing liquid is the other best thing anyone ever taught me!

Okay, so things are clean and feels clean. There are 2 other very important points to note:-
1. For the longest time, I had been adding antiseptic liquid into the basin along with the dishwashing liquid to wash down my toilets. I would always end up with stinging hands (ok I hate gloves! I can't clean anything I can't feel ok!) With this new product, NO STINGING! Yahoo!

2. My plants are still alive and if i may say so, kinda thriving too. Even the leaves look greener.

So, if you are someone who cares about protecting our environment and can't afford the exorbitant price tags on the Eco-Friendly products on the shelves (even LOC from Amway costs quite a bit), this could be your answer.

RM15.90 and RM18.90 for the bigger sizes. And they have a few of variants you can choose from.

Go check out their website and have a read- http://www.y-slimz.com/floor-master.html or
drop by Carrefour, Jusco or Tesco.

Give it a try, i did, and no regrets so far.

Better Than An Orgasm

Hmmm....I wonder where Starbucks get their croissants.
Just the right side of buttery, crumbles at knifepoint and melts in your mouth.

Ah bliss!

Better than an orgasm!...At my age, can't get any better than this. Hey wonder if anyone owns this tagline? :P

Every girl's dream.


It is not easy, but I have resigned myself to the fact that in this lifetime, my dream will never be realized.

I cry with happiness when I witness my friend's occassions, the tears of joy they shed for their once in a lifetime. But each time, i turn away and cry a little, just a little, for something I know I can never experience and will never have.

I guess it is meant to be this way.

A cigarette a day keeps your Doctor's Yacht in it's bay

It was cool to smoke in school.So I started at the tender age of 18, when my collagen and skin elasticity was at it's peak..:P
Twenty years later, I decided that it was time to give my lungs and skin a break, so I quit them cancer sticks on October 26th 2009. I have yet to look back since.
Although the action did not come without consequences. I gained 10 kilos in 7 months. But I am still a smoke free salmon, well a fatter salmon that is.
Was it willpower? Was it Alan Carr's book? Whatever it may have been, it was the best decision I ever made in my life.
Baby steps toward better health. Now to find a way to lose that 22 pounds....bugger.....

Alypedia - Definition of Chipetlates is Chi Pilates with Dynaband

Mark this day. 20th May 2010.
My first encounter with a Dynaband.
Don't let that innocent looking picture on the right fool you!
It's BLOODY hard. OMFG!
Halfway through the class, every fibre of every muscle in muscle groups I never knew I had in my body was shaking.
Imagine a 9.5 earthquake in a pilates studio. The culprit causing the tremors was me!

Gonna try out a couple of weeks of this and then graduate to Pilates A+ with dumb-bells.....stay tuned.
Meanwhile, I'll think about how I'm gonna be able to move tomorrow...come to think of it...I don't think I'd be able to hook my bra.....! Bugger...

Alypedia - Smelly No More

"Smelly No More"
I tried this product out of curiosity one day and have not turned back since.
The first few days, I sniffed my pits every hour worriedly. But so far, so good.
No residue, odorless and lasts through a sweaty session of exercise.
Thumbs up!

Aly-1989

I remember 21 years ago when I was fresh out of high school, struggling to make ends meet. My daily diet consisted of one meal a day of a 25cent indo mie. We'd buy 2 packs & that wld b my boyfriend's and my meal for d day.....or on very good days, we'd share a nasi padprik from d Thai shop that costed 2.50.......we'd ride d bus and trudge on foot to every destination. We'd salivate and envy all our friends with cars, who cld afford to eat at A&W and who wore levi's 501s. Coz u c, we cldnt afford any of those, no siree....I really think being hungry was one of the reasons I fell into catwalk modelling, u c back then, there were loads of lunch, hi tea and dinner shows. And all these shows had lunch, hi tea or dinner provided. Heaven sent for starving youth! Which is kinda makes u wonder that it's odd for your agents to negotiate for food to b provided to their models only to tell them the very next day "girls u all ah need to lose weight! Too much cheesecake alredy u c your hips!!"

Hmmmm.....

Aly-pedia Definition of Pilates


- Minimum movement for maximum pain

A more acceptable tagline that can sell to the masses would be:-

-Minimal Impact Maximum Gain

Any which way, I attended my very first serious Pilates class at Be Yoga with Lila yesterday (Friday the 12th - phew!)

Needless to say, I quickly realized i was wrong when I thought that my core muscles were in decent shape.

They definitely were not.

A squishy overball and me did not make firm friends this session although it was not due to lack of effort on my part! Let's just say the ball had a mind of it's own and much preferred to be anywhere BUT between my legs, under my pelvis, between my thighs or under my shoulder blades...dang!

But I must say that this workout although very low impact, really worked my body thoroughly, how do I know this? Well here I am with my comp and a steaming cup of coffee, chilling on my bean bag....AND I have absolutely NO Idea HOW I am going to get up from here!!!!

Pilates - would I recommend it. A resounding yes!
Now would someone please help me up? My abs are killing me....!

That long winding road

 The harder things become, The more I need to celebrate the small wins, The tiny hurdles I overcome, Every small step I can move, may it be ...
