TRIAL Review (One Session) of POWERSLIM IMPACT Treatment at Spa Artisan

This phrase immediately caught my attention when I received an invitation mail from Spa Artisan,
"55 minutes of treatment = 5 hours of Gym!"

REALLY BO?!

I have to try it out myself even if this is only one trial session.

The Spa Artisan

The Spa Artisan  at The Fullerton Hotel has launched The PowerSlim Studio which is First In Asia!

The Spa Artisan is one of the three spas under Aramsa Lifestyle Pte Ltd.
The other 2 outlets are:  The Garden Spa (Bishan Park) and Club Med Bintan Spa (Bintan Island)

I like how peaceful and calm once I stepped into Spa Artisan.
I'm a sucker for nature and some greenery was just what I needed before my music lesson starts at 6pm.
































INBODY Analysis Report (30min, worth S$20)

Heidi did this total body assessment for me with a body analysis machine from Korea. The machine, as Heidi told me, is able to break down and analyse information of my body including fluids, fats, body circumference and more. It'll also be able to calculate for me how much weight, mass, fats, muscles and fluids I need to gain/lose!

I was surprised that the machine was also able to calculate my water retention index!

The machine is almost 99% accurate.

Using this analysis report, the therapists can better assess my needs and treatments required to get a better + healthier body.

Yes, Heidi highlight that their services are not just about slimming, diet but more importantly your health and wellness!

Here's a list of what this machine can measure: http://www.thespaartisan.com/powerslim.php 

I'm a 52KG.

In summary, I need to lose 0.7KG of fats, gain 2.5kg more muscles and I have a good index of 0.333 water retention. Any amount over 0.5 means I need to lose fluid. My right arm is slightly bigger than my left so it'll help if I tone up my left muscles.

Oh yah, I told Heidi to leave my butt alone because I like how perky it is and we both laughed together! *heheehehe*

I hope to achieve an ideal weight of 48KG by the end of this year.
Heidi then advised and encouraged me that I'll be able to achieve my ideal weight with a healthy lifestyle in terms of sleeping/eating/exercise habits on top of their treatments.

A healthy lifestyle is essential and I was already working on it until I got my stomach flu.






Height Measurement: I'm 1.58m, just in case you ask.


Sweet-loving Heidi cleaning up the machine before we start the body analysis:








I really like how meticulous their questionnaire is.

They'll ask questions like where I prefer to focus my treatments on - legs, abs, arms etc. One particular question I exceptionally like goes something like how I'd like my session to be with these following options to choose from: pampering, slimming, wellness, relaxation…

I chose pampering and relaxation so the therapists already have an idea beforehand that I wouldn't go for those intensive slimming treatment!



The Common Changing Room For Ladies

Very neat, clean, smells good and all the necessary toiletries are available.
I feel pampered. :)

The sauna and steam room is located in the Ladies as well.

Last but not least, we'll be leaving our belongings in the lockers provided here.






So Heng la, they gave me Locker 13, my favourite number!!!

















PowerSlim IMPACT Session (75 minutes, worth S$298+)

Let's get my body toned up!

This Treatment Includes

1. Relaxing Foot Soak
2. Velvet Skin Prep on targeted area
3. Stimulating IMPACT Therapy to obtain visible results
4. Be surrounded by patented infrared and ionization technology to maximise comfort and effectiveness.

Instead of feeling that you're immediately being toasted in a oven, my therapist, Meri, led me through a gradual-warming and in-total-comfort treatment process.

We kickstart the treatment with a relaxing foot soak with lukewarm water + lavender-scented salt for about 5 minutes.



My shy Meri didn't want to be in any photos so here's a back view of her motherly figure. :)



This is it, the Powerslim Machine!












LIGHTS ON and you feel like you're sun-tanning.
Warm, comfortable, sleepy…

The adjustable bed brings you closer to the infrared heat.
You can always let your therapist knows your comfortable bed height should you feel too hot. She'll ask anyway. *smiles*



All these slimming treatment is working while I'm watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. on TV. Actually all these while I was wondering how come the TV didn't explode inside the PowerSlim machine when it's so warm!












2, Velvet Skin Prep on targeted area

Earlier on when doing my Inbody Analysis, I told Heidi that I'd like to tone up my arms, thighs and focus on my abs. Meri has been told what I'd like to do and she applied the Valvet Skin cream on those targeted areas for even better results!







More sun-tanning wohoooo!!!




Last but not least, adhesive electro pads are placed over my abs to deliver electrical impulses which will help stimulate the nerves and cause the muscle to contract. You can adjust the power of these current so have absolutely no fear because it's PAINLESS!

It's a feeling like those head massagers behind placed around your bellies; comfortable.







How Does the Impact Therapy Works

• Adhesive electrode pads that are placed over specific areas of the body to deliver electrical impulses stimulate the nerves and cause the muscles to contract.
• The stimulation of the muscle by the electrical current creates a significant energy demand on the muscles so surrounding fat cells are burned for energy.
• Stimulation also agitates the fat cells causing release of toxins and reduction of cellulite.
• In addition, the deep muscle stimulation helps tighten and tone the skin and improve circulation.
• The treatment is safe and non-invasive

Back to my show!






I perspired and was given a towel to wipe.
I felt thirsty and Meri got me a drink.
My legs felt too warm and Meri covered it with a towel.

Life.
Thank you for being there for me throughout, Meri!

The Results!

My body was coated with mild redness (it's the healthy kind) but it subsided after about an hour or so.
I felt good because it was like I've just finished sun-tanning and rejuvenated after a nap.

Maybe it's psychological because I felt lighter after letting out so much perspiration!





I was led to to the waiting lounge where I could enjoy some tea and sesame-crisped biscuits.












I wondered where to buy these.
They are delicious!





The session is so comfortable and pampering.

But if you want to feel like you really WANT to work out and sweat it out, have a go on the PowerSlim Gym!

PowerSlim Boost (30min, S$118+)

30minutes of workout = 5 Hours Of Exercise.
Exercise + Triple-strength Infrared Heat = More effective workout!









I feel so energised and ready for class, GO!

[Advertorial] Sign Up For N.E. Mation! 8 and stand to win a trip to USA!

Oh boy, this brings back memories; I attended my very first N.E.mation event 3 years ago where I learnt how to make worm video…. met Trixy for the first time… and won a Canon S95 camera for my entry (which i'm still using for blogging now hehehe…)!

Making a worm out of plasticine for N.E.mation! 5:



About N.E.mation! 8

N.E.mation! is a digital animation competition organised by Nexus for youths to express their thoughts on Total Defence. Into its eighth season this year, the competition has proven highly successful, with more than 9,900 students participating since its inception in 2007. With training and guidance, students with no prior experience in animation have been able to produce clips of broadcast quality to screen on free-to-air television. Some of these clips were even selected for international animation festivals and won several awards.


I can't draw.
I can't paint.

That's why I'm extremely amazed by the animation clips done by teams who have participated in the annual animation competition - N.E. mation!

The standard of the entries get higher and higher each year: colours, storyline and graphics.
Works like magic~

Yuhuuu everyone, N.E. mation is back with N.E.mation! 8 – It's your turn to win a trip to USA!


Theme for N.E.mation! 8




N.E.mation! 8 has begun.

The theme for this year is 'Because You Played A Part'.

“30 years of security and stability as a nation was built upon everyone’s efforts. We stood with each other through the good times and bad, overcoming challenges and celebrating our successes. We are able to enjoy what we have in Singapore today because each of us has played a part, in building this nation, our home.”

On board a Yacht For Guinness Arthur's Day (Singapore) 2013 Press Conference

Welcome aboard Reignwood, a 5-storey luxury yacht as we set sail towards Guinness Arthur's Day (Singapore) 2013!



Press launches on yachts are getting popular these days, aren't they? Nevertheless every trip like this is a thrill for me; I get to escape from my busy schedules for awhile.

Guinness Arthur’s Day is back - bigger and bolder than before but only this time, it's going to be a MONEY CAN'T BUY experience.

You'll have to WIN it.

Are you bold enough to party with Guinness this Arthur’s Day™?

I heard a YES!
Then let's Go!



I HAVE to show you around this yacht -- the BIGGEST I saw at ONE°15 Marina Club that day.



 Quick Tour Starts NOW!

NOTE: You can't wear any footwear on board this yacht.


This is the first deck you'll walk up to:







Let's grab a bottle of Guinness before moving on:



On the same deck, you'll enter the first air-conditioned area - a big, cosy living room:







Walk along the right side corridor and it'll lead you to the master bedroom which comes with dual toilet seats, basins, shower heads and a bathtub!











Go one deck DOWN and there'll be 4 more bedrooms waiting, all of which have their own personal bathrooms.












Now let's go up!



In the higher deck, you'll find another 'living room' where you can watch TV, soak yourself in an outdoor jacuzzi or simply chill out in the outdoor area.

Christina and my reflection on the window panel:








Our yacht tour is happening while the yacht cruised along the beautiful coast of Singapore.
*SMILES*



There's one more deck, the highest one.
We'll come to that in no time~

SUPER ATAS, I Know Right.
Hehe.



Guinness unveiled plans for its second Arthur's Day celebrations in Singapore

Let's head back to the main deck where Guinness unveiled its plans for its Second Arthur's Day Celebration in Singapore.

This year, Singapore will host the boldest Arthur’s Day™ party ever, featuring Grammy nominated, chart-topping international band, The Fray, alongside one of Singapore’s best up-and-coming bands selected through a unique competition on 27th September 2013.







The Arthur’s Day celebrations were first organised in 2009 to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the lease at St. James’s Gate in Dublin, Ireland – originally signed by Arthur Guinness in 1759. It is estimated that about 1.7million Guinness fans and music lovers, from over 55 countries, will unite to celebrate Arthur Guinness' Legacy!

Its main event will be held on 27th September 2013 with TWO highlights.

HIGHLIGHT 1: Guinness Athur's Day Concert will be headlined by U.S. Stars, The Fray!



HIGHLIGHT 2: A LOCAL BAND will be selected to open the Guinness Arthur's Day concert for The Fray!

Local Musicians and Bands, it's OUR call~
Do you want to be that ONE BAND who will open the Guinness Arthur's Day Concert for The Fray?

You're invited to submit a YouTube Video link of yourselves performing, in a private message to the Guinness Singapore Facebook Page by 17th August 2013.

Shortlisted bands will then be move on to the 'Play On The Day' round - a battle of the bands event held at four locations around the island from 7PM to 9PM on:

1. 20 August 2013: Switch (73 Bras Basah Road, #01-01/02, Singapore 189556)
2. 27 August 2013: Timbre @ Gillman (9A Lock Road, Gillman Barracks, Singapore 108926)
3. 3 September 2013: Timbre @ The Substation (45 Armenian Street, Singapore 179936)
4. 10 September 2013: Timbre @ The Arts House (1 Old Parliament Lane #01-04, Singapore 179429)

The winner will be selected by The Fray themselves after finalists are whittled down by a judging panel and a public vote, leveraging the support of the huge number of live music fans across Singapore.

All competing bands will receive tickets to the concert, and the top performer from each venue will win a cash prize of S$1,000. The winning band, selected by The Fray, will receive a further S$2,000, and of course open for one of the biggest bands this decade!

Guinness SINGAPORE Facebook page: www.facebook.com/guinness.SG
Band members have to be age 18 years and above*


Guinness is proud to be able to support local talents through this initiative and a platform as significant as Arthur's Day.



Guinness Arthur's Day Concert Tickets ARE NOT FOR SALE.

Guinness is seeking ONLY 1,759 fans to attend this concert.
Unlike the usual sales of tickets, we CANNOT BUY these tickets but have to WIN them instead.

These 1,759 tickets will be given out to fans and consumers who step up to challenge through THREE 'Acts Of Boldness' activations around Singapore in August. The 3 acts will be revealed on Guinness Facebook Page so go LIKE it!

This will definitely be a 'money-can't-buy' experience which will take place in a unique, purpose-built venue. The venue will only revealed over the next coming weeks.

Dropping Hints for you here, the venue will be:

• Air-conditioned
• Has an AMAZING view of the luminous city at night
• Comes along with Singapore-Centered Guinness Heritage Collection Exhibition, allowing concert-goers to view memorabilia of time past.

Keep a lookout for the Guinness Arthur's Day Celebrations and how to win tickets in Singapore on the Guinness Singapore Facebook Page HERE.

Time to Chill'ax at the highest deck and enjoy the beautiful view of Singapore!
Wohooooo!















How can I not take a photo with William bro on such a relaxing trip?!
Here one of us together, with my handsome William brother:


Thanks Christina for being such great company!
LOVE HER SHADES MAX, a square in a circle frame:



William checking out his photo taken with him drinking from a Guinness Bottle:


I took one too but I look more like a super emo heartbroken here, drowning myself in Guinness, hohoho:

The Jacuzzi pool has been transformed into a giant ice freezer with FREE FLOW OF Guinness drafts, dive in people!!! I spammed at least 50 photos of this jacuzzi in my camera but of course I'll just show you 2 of my favourites. Heh-heh.





Thank you for this memorable afternoon, Guinness.
Here's to Arthur!






Guinness should be enjoyed on Arthur's Day, and any other occasion, responsibly.
