Hello new friends!! LAVA STONEs are here.

New friends have come to join me in my quest for relaxation.

They are the LAVA STONEs from Texas, a special stone suitable for hot stone massage

The stone can maintain the heat inside for a long time.

I always feel connected with natural material and I always use them for my treatments. Essential oils , herbs , crystals are like my close friends.

I surely feel their energy .

Last week I attended a hot stone therapy class and the teacher from Australia taught us what hot stone is and how to use it.

Interestingly, her hot stone massage style was from Hawaii and it really suits well with my lomilomi Hawaiian massage.

The class was much grater than I expected.

I got a lot inspiration from her hot stone treatment demonstration.

I am sure that hot stone therapy is one of the most important on my list of treatments.

When I tried the hot stone massage in the class, I surely felt that stone energy healed me not onlymy body but my soul as well.

After the massage, I felt so energetic and refreshed.

I'm certain the stone is alive.

Now I'm excited to explore how to combine hot stone with other natural materials.

I would say that hot stone massage is one of the crystal healing therapy wherein you could get the healing energy from Mother Earth.

I specially feel that LAVA STONES are full of powerful energy from the earth.

Let me explain how energy from the earth will work on you.

It is basically like that feeling you have after going to a botanical garden, you feel recovered and refreshed .

Or after spending a day near a beautiful sea, you are released from stress and restored .

This is how natural energy can heal you.

I'm sure that the stone will help me and my client a lot.

I can't wait to use these stones for my treatments.

I think the Hot stone massage which has the ability to keep you warm is the most necessary treatment for Singaporians and all those living in Singapore because we are used to staying inside extremely cold buildings that can sometimes feel like being inside a fridge and this extremely cold makes our body feel very cold too.

I've never met therapist who has warm hand, their hands are always so cold like ice and that means their organs are already colder.

Keeping your body , inside and out, warm is essential for your health and beauty .

Eating a Better Bitter Gourd !!

Bitter gourd is well known to be good for health and beauty.

It is rich in Vitamin C which is an anti-oxidant agent that prevents black spot.

Vitamin C usually diminishes in food in the process of cooking but in bitter gourd , it does not easily disappear even when exposed to heat while cooking.

Also bitter gourd can help us refresh our body , so it is very good during summer and is surely a necessity for those who live in tropical countries all year round.

I usually like my bitter gourd stir-fried but recently my friend told me her recipe which she invented together with her husband !

By using plenty of tomatoes and onions , the bitterness will become milder and it will be more delicious .

She uses oyster sauce and soy sauce, but I prefer to use black beans and red chili bean sauces.

Enjoy your bitter gourd dishes and get a beautiful skin !!

here is recipe

cut onions

cut tomatoes

cut bitter gourd

cut mushrooms

fry with sesame oils

add

black beans source

red chili beans source( tou ban jan)

soy source

mirin to taste

that's all

tomatoes and onions make bitter gourd

mild and sweet!!

Vegetarian Hot Pot @ Ling zhi vegetarian

This was my first visit to Ling Zhi vegetarian restaurant and It was much better than I expected.

They offer buffet style hot pot and there's plenty of veggies and you can eat all you can .
My friend and I enjoyed a variety of vegetables and veggie dumplings which were really tasty !

Actually I visited fine dining hot pot restaurant before in Singapore, but they used a lot of MSG . So usually, after eating, I felt sick and dizzy.
So, I avoided hot pot restaurant since then because I'm scared about hot pot. But now that I have tried Ling Zhi restaurant, I had a different impression about hotpot. They don't seem to use MSG or if they use,it must be in a small amount, because I didn't get any reaction after eating.

Healthy and comfortable veggie hot pot made us feel full and satisfied .

I was excited when I saw a lot of veggies

all you can eat
