CozyCot events at Orchard Central + Bf's mum 60th birthday =D

Registered for 3 CozyCot talks held at Orchard Central Atrium.


First talk: Secrets to Food Detox by Okamizu

A talk about how much toxic we are consuming into our body everyday. The meat we ate comes from Chickens which are being injected with hormones for faster growth. The fishes we ate contains high level of mercury. Even vegetables are sprayed with pesticide that are odourless and colourless. The pesticide sometimes makes the vegetables taste bitter.  

The solutions we have are to go organic or buy free ranged chicken i.e. chickens that are not caged. To soak vegetables and fruits with salt that can kills bacteria. Grow our own vegetables (it's a joke). Lastly, to have a food detoxifier.

He showed us an experiment that can turn the red syrup water into colourless water. The food detoxifier has decomposed the chemical, in this case is the red colouring leaving behind the colourless water but the taste is still there. Next he showed us a piece of chicken breast meat soak in a bowl of water without its skin being detoxified. There is a layer of foam forming at the top layer of the water. According to him, the foam are the fatty acid chain which cannot be digested and is toxic. He then tried to burn the foam but they could not be burnt and turned black in colour. Really disgusting.

This machine makes used of ozone to breakdown the toxic. In natural, we have the ozone layer (O3) which is our protective blanket. So this machine not only can detoxify food, it can also be used as a sterilizer for babies products, used to wash face, wash feet and clean the fridge. With so many uses, the price is also rather matching. One machine cost about $700+. Anyway, I don't think I need to eat until so healthy that I need this machine to detox the food.


Second talk: Intimate Beauty Workshop by Sorella 

Out of the three talks, I think this is the most interesting with the most questions polled from the floor. The speaker is a woman from Taiwan so the talk is conducted in Mandraine. 

Measurements for choosing a bra

Lower chest area :
68 - 72 cm (Size 70)
73 - 77 cm (Size 75)
78 - 82 cm (Size 80)

Difference between the upper and lower chest = Cup size
10 - 12 cm (A cup)
13 - 14 cm (B cup)
15 - 17 cm (C cup)

Why do we grow fat so easily during the adult stage is because our cells no longer multiply. The only period cells multiply is during babies and puberty stage. Now with the fixed number of cells but we still take in more amount of food so what can the cells do? The cells expand and the cells can expand to an amazing 60 to 500 times! Try not to drink sweet drinks and no supper if one do not wish to grow even more fatter. 

She also mentioned not to use detergent to wash the bras and after washing do not squeeze dry the water. Instead put a fist in and press the water out.


Third talk: Virtuose Precious Cells - Unforgettable Lashes by Lancome.

They've got a very beautiful model (Charmaine) who is already so pretty without the make up, so after the makeover it's like a bit of enhancements only, can't really see much difference in my opinion. The two speakers co-ordinations is rather bad. While one is asking the question and haven't even finish the sentence, the other woman keeps cutting in and drown that voice. Bad presentation but lots of quiz time that gave out prizes easily. Almost dozed off in this talk. =X

After the three talks, went up to the Ninki-O store to collect my goodie bags. Ninki-O is a shop for those who wants the best products because this stores sells the most popular products from the surveys result.
