How to get sexy legs this summer

by Trixie Reyna, Managing Editor

walkstar-aquaThere’s no way around it, ladies, you really have to exercise. Really.

But if you still haven’t run out of excuses not to begin your summer fitness regimen, maybe an excuse to shop would do the trick: if you’re still scouting for summer footwear, be sure to get flip-flops that do not only look great, they actually tone your legs the longer you use them.

By this of course we mean FitFlop, which we told you about here. If you’re too tamad to jog, do yoga, or go to the gym, go get yourself this footwear “with a gym built in,” and turn window-shopping into a fitness activity.

The best time to buy your FitFlop is on Saturday, March 28, at Rockwell Power Plant Mall, where the first 20 buyers of a pair of FitFlops that day will be treated to an exclusive 10-minute demonstration of “Mallxercise”—the enjoyable way of getting enviable gams with the help of FitFlops.

Learn more about this activity (and treats you can enjoy) after the jump.

Youth in a bottle

by Cheekie Albay, Staff Writer

Anti-aging creams are all the rage among women these days, with different brands vying for supremacy in the Philippine market. And with each new innovation they introduce, the competition continues to get tougher!

The origin of skin youth lies in the creation of new cells. However, as one ages, skin becomes poorer in vital substance and generates less new cells, and that’s how you get wrinkles, spots, and all those merciless signs of aging women fear as soon as they hit 30.

The sad part is, some women find it troublesome to adapt a rigorous beauty regimen because of their busy schedules. At most, they can apply all the necessary beauty products at night, right before going to bed.

We’ve discovered L’Oreal’s version of this elusive elixir of youth-which we’ll tell you more about after the jump.
