Lip Cosmetic Tattoo Final Session on the Gold Coast

Beauty, , ,

日本語ページ → ゴールドコーストでアートメイクリップ仕上げ

I got my lips tattooed at  Miki Beauty. Today was the 2nd session.

In case of Asian people having skin rich in melanin pigments, their lip colour looks dark.

They have to have bright tattoo colour on their lips as base colour first.

The colour in the 1st session was like this.

6 weeks after they get the first treatment, they can get their favourite colour in the second treatment.

Today I got my favorite colour, red like this.

The condition of the colour is too red at the moment, but it will gradually fade 50% when the scars heal.

I usually go to Miki Beauty to retouch my eyebrows and eyeline cosmetic tattoos.

Lip cosmetic tattoo is one of the things what I wanted to do.

I am a fitness instructor. I sweat, have showers, and have to fix my make-up many times a day.

These days I hate even putting on lipstick.

Therefore I’m so happy to have gotten what I wanted.

I’m not wearing make-up in this photo.

I recommend the cosmetic tattoo with confidence to those whom always sweat like me and want to cut down the make-up time in their busy lives.

My long awaited wish came true. Today I finally got a lip cosmetic tattoo.

In case of Asian people having skin rich in melanin pigments, their lip colour looks dark.

They have to have bright tattoo colour on their lips as base colour first.

6 weeks after they get the first treatment, they can get their favourite colour in the second treatment.

Today I got the base colour.

I usually go to Miki Beauty to retouch my eyebrows and eyeline cosmetic tattoos.

The scene in which the outer edge of my lips is done is cut out of the video, but it is the first step of the treatment and after that, the inside of the lips are coloured.

 

In the beginning, anesthetic cream is put on the lips. It worked very well, so I didn’t feel as much pain as I thought I would.

I felt a bit of pain when I was getting the outer edge of my top lip done.

These days I hate even putting on lipstick.

And I am worried that my lip colour is gradually getting dark because of aging.

Therefore I’m so happy to have gotten what I wanted and can’t wait for the second treatment.

Miki Beauty has Microblading, eyelash extensions, eyelash perms and facial treatments as well.

 

 

 

 

Fattening Spring

Beauty, health, Step Lesson, Weight loss, ZUMBA, , , , ,

Japanese page（日本語ページ）→ 太りやすい春は要注意！

The Gold Coast is in spring season now and I feel really sleepy and I have a big appetite these days.

Why do people feel these ways in spring?

Sleepiness in spring

Our bodies can’t adjust to the change in the temperature between morning and night when the winter season changes into spring.

　　　　　　　↓

Our nervous systems are in disorder.

　　　　　　　↓

The quality of our sleep gets bad.

　　　　　　　↓

We get sleepy in the daytime.

Appetite in spring

We can’t get enough ultraviolet rays to keep our mentality and bodies healthy in spring.

                            ↓

Serotonin which makes us happy is not secreted in our brain so much.

                           ↓

Our nervous systems are in disorder.

                    　  ↓

We feel stress.

                           ↓

We can’t stop eating.

                           ↓

We gain weight.

 

Our basal metabolism lowers in spring season, which makes us fat as well.

Doing exercises is recommended to release stress and raise basal metabolism.

Why don’t we exercise together?

We provide 12 Week Body Transformation Program as well.

One of our clients has finished 12 week body transformation and has lost 6.7 kg.

We are so proud of her

Do you know how many calories you are using a day?

Beauty, health, Weight loss, ZUMBA, , , ,

Japanese page → 一日の消費カロリーはどれくらい？

Firstly knowing your basal metabolism is fundamental.

 

Basal metabolism is the minimum amount of energy required to maintain vital functions in an organism at complete rest.

The calculating formulas are as follows:

 

Male: 12.397 × weight (kg) + 4.799 × height (cm) – 5.677 × age + 88.362

 

Female: 9.247 × weight (kg) + 3.098 × height (cm) – 4.33 × age + 447.593

 

My basal metabolism is around 1250 kcal per day.

 

Then let’s calculate your approximate daily calorie use!

Choose which one of these below is similar to your lifestyle:

  1. I do not exercise very much: your basal metabolism×1.2
  2. I do light exercises twice a week : your basal metabolism ×1.4
  3. I do moderate exercises 4 days a week: your basal metabolism ×1.55
  4. I do intense exercises almost every day: your basal metabolism ×1.7
  5. I do physical labour every day×1.9

I think my case is 4, so my daily calorie use is 2125 kcal.

If I do not eat more than this many calories in a day, I should be able to keep my weight the same.

 

I think knowing yourself is important.

12 Week Body Transformation Program

Upcoming event

Cells renew every 3 months

Beauty, health, Step Lesson, Weight loss, , ,

Japanese page → 細胞の入れ替わりは3か月周期

Our cells are reborn every day. The cycles of cells’ turning over are as follows:

acbd1f74aae3532b96ec79667dbc9bde_sStomach and intestines: about 5 days

Heart: about 22 days

Red blood cells: about 130 days

Muscles and livers: about 2 months

Bones: about 3 months

Skin: about 28 days

 

In this way, the cycles are different depending on the body tissues.

In consideration of the longest one, I think that we need at least 3 months to change our bodies for the body transformation.

Even though we can lose weight for a short period, we will regain weight as our cells have not changed.

We provide a 12 week body transformation programme.

This is one of our client’s result.

Microblading (cosmetic tattoo) on the Gold Coast

Beauty, ZUMBA,

Japanese page → ゴールドコーストのマイクロブレーディング

Because of my work as a fitness instructor, I always get sweaty and sometimes feel too lazy to put on my makeup.

 

It’s been about 5 years since I started going to Miki’s salon on the Gold Coast.

Miki is trustworthy and has a long career as a cosmetic tattooist.

I got eyebrow and eyeliner tattoos this time.

Have a look at her awesome skill!

Microblading (cosmetic tattoo) helps me not have to use eyeliner and eyebrow pencil.

That’s why I like it.

I think her price is very inexpensive compared with others.

Jewellery Ear Points on the Gold Coast

I tried Jewellery Ear Points not to regain weight at Micolo SALON.

I lost 8 kg in 3 months since I started dieting and physical training from the end of 2017.

Now I have to think about how I can keep weight from now on.

I cannot increase my physical activities being concerned about the possibility of overuse, so food requirement should be taken care of at the recent stage.

I think that most women have a few days every month in which it is hard for them to suppress their appetite.

Recently I found a good way.

Do you know Jewellery Ear Points? 

It will be able to promote appetite suppression.

Therefore I went to Micolo SALON in Southport, Gold Coast.

IMG_0104IMG_0126

Mieko, an owner of the salon, specially cooked a healthy lunch just for me before the treatment on the day.

Everything (lamb chops, spinach salad with pumpkin seed oil dressing, simmered hijiki seaweed and miso soup) was delicious.

Mieko is an attentive lady.

Jewellery Ear Points is a sticker with titanium, not piercing, and be stuck on the points of the ears.

The surface stone is Swarovski authorized by Swarovski Japan Co., Ltd.

There are 20 colours. The titanium has 99.9% purity and is made in Japan.

Mieko decorated the beautiful jewellery on my ears.

Have a look at the video.

A lack of muscles has a bad influence on your beauty

Beauty, Boot Camp, health, Weight loss, ZUMBA, , ,

Japanese page（日本語ページ）→ 筋肉枯れを甘く見るなかれ

Do you know muscles shrink and the strength gets worse because of aging?

Check the list below:

  • Can’t put on a sock standing with one leg

  • The thighs get thinner

  • Stumble on the flat surface

つまづき１

If you have any one of these, it might be a danger signal.

Particularly leg muscles shrink 1% each year after 30 years of age if we don’t exercise.

Then we will lose 40% of the muscles in our 70th.

It is said that such a reduction of action is due to muscle weakness and a decrease in signals of motion commands from brain because of aging.

Step exercise is suitable for brain training and strengthening your lower body. It includes well-balanced cardio and muscle training → Step Lesson

Predictable risks in the case of leaving a muscle shrunk are:

  • Basal metabolism reduces and it makes us have slow metabolisms.
  • Then energy consumption also reduces and parts of body get swollen.
  • Cause stiff shoulders and arthritis.
  • The skin metabolism doesn’t work normally and cause dullness and roughness of the skin.
  • Decrease body temperature and have poor circulation to cold.
  • Get tired easily.
  • Stumble on a flat area and break bones.

つまづき２

Not only the amount, the strength is also important for muscles.

A lack of exercise changes the muscle structure and the strength is lost.

Such phenomenons occur in our 30th to 40th.

Prevention of shrinking muscles

Walking is well known as a general easy method for health.

But unfortunately only walking is not enough to strengthen muscles.

We can improve and keep our muscle strength by doing exercises that we feel are a little strenuous.

ZUMBA is a little strenuous, but we can exercise enjoying the danceable movements →ZUMBA®

Please put your mind at ease!

The more we train our muscles, the more our muscles get stronger and bigger regardless of age.

Additionally we can save up our muscles.

Muscles can remember stimulation given by exercises in the past.

If we can wake our muscle memories up, they will recover even though we have a long blank without exercising.

Why don’t you save up your muscles enjoyably?

We have a muscle training class as well → Short Boot Camp & Low Impact Cardio
