Home & Lifestyle Talk – Uchino

We use towels daily for shower, hands and on top of that, because J and I workout on a regular basis, we tend to use quite a lot of sports towel as well. Our sports towel collection is huge and I could always quickly throw out those I did not fancy using mainly because of the coarseness and weight of the towels. I was thrilled to receive my very first set of customized towels from Uchino! Best of all, they customized a set for J too!

Uchino – Redefining towels & bath time lifestyle

Uchino dedicates to create the world’s finest towels and towel wear with quality materials according to Uchino quality standard. and believes that quality towels should begin with the start of life.

Great emphasis has been placed on the manufacturing process, and the towels have acquired Oeko-Tex® Class 1 (for infants) Certification, the most stringent quality standard for the towel industry. This means that the items are pleasant to use and can be trusted even when coming into contact with babies’ mouths.

The sokkan series towels given to me are made of 100% cotton. What’s more, it is manufactured through Uchino’s patented technology for its quick dry + antibacterial effect. This aids in reducing the occurrence of unpleasant smell caused by indoor drying in Singapore’s humid weather. A good choice for people who does their laundry at night, isn’t it? Not only that, I love how Uchino towels are so soft to touch and its super lightweight makes it so easy for me to bring around to the gyms and out! Also, after one wash, there was no problem at all with the absorbency of water. This was also the first time getting towels with my name embroidered on so I really love it!

I even brought the sports towels with me to Perth and to the gym because they are so lightweight, compact and absorbent!

You may get Uchino towels from all the departmental stores in Singapore such as Takashimaya, Isetan, Tangs, etc. Follow them on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Uchino-Singapore-1083912668288132/) & Instagram (www.instagram.com/uchinosg) to get constant updates on their promotions! :D

Health Talk – BRAND’S® ActivMove

Personally for me, I don’t have any problem with my joints yet, but I do know how crucial it is for people like myself who works out almost everyday, to take good care of my joints to maximize effectiveness of my workouts as age catches up. Despite not suffering from any pain yet, I have been taking glucosamine supplements on a regular basis to prevent premature joint injury/problem!

Why joint care?

Our joints carry our weight and allow us to move effortlessly through our daily lives, but there is very little awareness that our joints deteriorate with age. Everyday movement such as walking and climbing can increase the wear and tear of our joints which lead to joint aches and pains.

Did you know that according to SingHealth*, the most common form of joint pains (Osteoarthritis), affects an estimated 40% of the adult population? Of these, only 10% seek medical advice!

Joint pains can be emotionally frustrating and depressing as they cause physical discomfort and restrict daily activities. Joint health does not discriminate and can affect us at any point of our life, even at a young age. Taking early precautions to protect our joints will allow us to continue the active lifestyle that we love and enjoy!

BRAND’S® ActivMove

I switch from my regular glucosamine supplements to BRAND’S® ActivMove recently since I was sent a pack try out! Let me share more about the supplements with you!

BRAND’S® ActivMove with Flexi-Boost® is formulated as a total solution for joint maintenance and protection. It provides 360° joint protection as it supplies our joints with nutrients, protects our joints from further deterioration and promotes self-repair!

BRAND’S® ActivMove with Flexi-Boost® formulation contains UC-II® and Hydrolyzed Type II Collagen that alleviates joint pain to help you perform at your best. UC-II® (40mg) has been scientifically proven to be 2X more effective than glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate combined!

Enough of the facts and technical terms, BRAND’S® ActivMove will be a great addition to your daily supplement, not limited to just the elderly. Joint problems can occur in youths and adults alike, who like myself, participate in regular rigorous physical activities indoor and outdoor.

Look at how small the tablet is! I’m not picky with sizes of my supplements as I’m rather used to taking multiple supplements at one seating but the BRAND’S® ActivMove mini tablets are really mini and it’s super easy to consume!

Shoot with ZAN Magazine

Few months back, I had the privilege to do a photoshoot with ZAN Magazine to feature a series of 4 editions of workouts and it was a first time for me, before I was approached to do another video and photoshoot with SAF. 
We headed one afternoon to the photographer's place and I was happily admiring and wow-ing at the industrial theme in his home. Love how raw and earthy everything looked, though its not something I would like for my upcoming home. Still pretty! We started the shoot soon after and it was a breeze, I was very glad!
We started with the different workouts for different editions, targeting different body parts every month for 4 issues. It was just simple bodyweight workouts that you can do at home on your own! Will show you guys the actual workouts at the end of the post so stay tuned!

We ended with a couple of profile shots! Love theses behind the scene shots taken by Christina, I looked so chill! :D

And here, for those who have not seen the magazines..

Have fun working out in preparation for Christmas! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :D
