Music is self-reflection for my soul

A relationship has no rules. Rules are for those who play games but is relationship a game? In today's hook up culture, relationships are akin to games and unwittingly, I've been sucked into the game forgetting what a proper relationship is all about. Treating relationships like games is my downfall because love is unconditional.

Love is blind and makes people do illogical things. It is contrary to human's basic instinct of self-survival. Love is what makes people put others ahead of themselves. So how do something so illogical co-exist with something driven by self-interest?

For example, love is unconditional that no matter how much a person hurts you, if you still love them, you will still want them back. The question is: how much are you willing to take before severing the ropes of the relationship? The other perspective would be how stupid can you get that you are willing to let someone use and trample over you AGAIN? When will you learn your lesson, wake up and stop being so stupid? Don't let him use you AGAIN.

John Legend's All of Me resonates with me especially the part where he goes "even when I lose, I'm winning, cause I give you all of me".

It makes me think back to my own relationships where I have held myself back. For example, do I call him or do I wait for him to call first? This is driven by the fear of "losing". Ultimately, relationships scare me because I can't let go completely to give all of me to someone who has the potential to take all of me AND hurt me.

Even when I let someone into my world, I still hold myself back for fear that he would not like who I truly am. The result is people who enter my world don't know me and they judge who I am on the superficial level which frustrates me because that is not who I am. Then it hit me that it's because that's all of me that I let them see and they realize that it's time to let go because I am not who I am.

Suddenly, John Legend's voice pops up again. "All of me loves all of you, love your curves and edges, all your perfect imperfections."

A proper relationship starts from being who I truly am. I would rather he loves me along with all my strengths and weaknesses than the facade of me. This means I have to start being comfortable being me though it is akin to being comfortable naked. I'm not entirely comfortable with it but I will get there eventually.

Klarity V-Line Challenge with Lasertox V-Line Shape Up

What do all these women have in common that makes them so beautiful and photogenic that we mortal women would give an arm and a leg for?

A search on the internet for female celebrity faces show that most of them have the V-line regardless of their face shape. No matter what your face shape is, a V-line will most definitely make your face look slim and give others the illusion that you are slim regardless of how thin or curvy you are downwards.

While celebrities boast their V-lines in photographs, mere mortals like us do not have the V-line. Instead, we have chubby cheeks, fleshy jaw lines, double chins (gasp) and generally have U or O jawlines.

For me, I have a pointy chin so if I smile a certain way and photograph at a certain angle, I look like I have a V-lined jaw. Otherwise, strategic hairstyles and photo apps with the "thinify" effect will also do the trick!


Smiling a certain way

On the other hand...there are times when I don't photograph well and look super chubs (see below). :(  Photographs like that don't usually surface because they have a direct route to the rubbish bin or I don't upload them. Period.



Bad photo

If you are scared of pain just like I am because invasive surgery scares me to no end, you can bet your bottom dollar that I will NOT be involved. If there are cutting, needles and pain involved, I'll be running in the opposite direction so......what do I do if I want a V-lined jaw without pain, needles or surgery?

Tada....

Left to right: BODYFIT, Velvet Silicone Belt and V-line Shape Up Cream 

Klarity has considered all that and came up with the Lasertox V-Line Shape Up. It is an intensive treatment to shape and lift the face so that we can achieve the V-Line jaw without any pain and down time.

My initial reaction: *jaws drop, eyes widen* FOR REAL???

KLARITY Lastertox V-Line Shape Up is an intensive 5 days treatment featuring 3 primary components: BODYFIT (5 pieces), the Velvet Silicon belt and V-line Shape Up Cream.

BODYFIT is a mask for your jaw and chin that is soaked with a liquid enriched with Adenosine and natural substances capable of inhibiting the activity of fat tissue and improving firmness of the skin. The liquid penetrates onto the skin to tone the V-line and redefine your facial planes, reduce puffiness by improving drainage and water distribution through the skin tissues as Adenosine accelerates the fat and double chin reducing process. The effects claimed include a more defined contour and improved skin elasticity.

The Velvet Silicone Belt is intended to fit precisely along the V-Line. It has unique acupuncture points which exert pressure to help enhance facial blood circulation for a better result.

Last but not least, the V-line Shape Up Cream is a light weight and hydrating cream that hydrates the skin from deep within and restores the skin's firmness that your face should appear slimmer and visibly lifted by the end of the treatment.

How to use:

Step 1: Place unfolded v-line mask at the jaw area.

Step 2: Wrap the silicone belt around the chin and head for 30 minutes.

Step 3: Massage the remaining essence and then the V-line Shape Up Cream

Here are the results:

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Day 4

 

Day 5

Day 5: side profile. Less fleshy! Yeay!

Post Day 5: After waking up

All the pictures above of me have no filter or makeup applied. The difference is the lighting and time when I took the pictures.

Do you see a difference? For me, I do see a difference from Day 1 to Day 5 but what is not so obvious from pictures is the difference with my jawline. I am fleshy around the jaw bone area but I could feel the sharpness of my jaw bone after using the Klarity Lasertox V-Line Shape Up. What is more impressive is that my grandmother, who usually comments on how round my face is, noticed a difference and commented that my face grew sharper. Mind you, she sees me everyday so it is harder to notice a change but she did! Naturally, I was on cloud nine for the entire day! :D

Do note that this result is only temporary so one would either have to lose weight (and hope the face slims down too) or go for plastic surgery or cosmetic treatments for a more permanent solution. However, do check out the Klarity Lasertox V-Line Shape Up for a quick V-line face without pain or fuss!
