BE LOHAS @ ONE UTAMA, PETALING JAYA

Go vegan if you can! Yeah.... totally respect vegetarian as it's definitely not easy. And so sorry to say I don't see myself going vegetarian. Anyways, once a while, it's still ok to go vegan. 

Everyone knew "Being a vegetarian is to be healthy” Unfortunately, some vegetarian foods in the market contain MSG, GMO ingredients, preservatives, pesticides, and most of them are prepared with high temperature deep frying. When we consume such vegetarian dishes, we also consume all the hazardous elements. So how would it be possible for us to eat healthily as intended? Choose Be Lohas!

LOHAS stands for “Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability” which means living a lifestyle that is healthy and environmentally friendly. The term has been cleverly translated to “Le Huo” in Chinese which means living happily. 

Be Lohas uphold their initial commitment to promote genuine healthy vegetarian cuisine thru :

Healthy Ingredient

• 70% organic vegetables, organic & natural ingredients, grape seed oil/ olive oil/ rice bran oil, sea salt/ rock salt to prepare foods.

Five "No"s 

• No MSG added, No GMO, No artificial colouring, No chemical preservative, No microwave cooking

Four Low's Three High's

• Low salt, sugar, oil and calories.

   High energy, fiber and nutrients.

Purple Clay Cookware

• Unique purple clay cookware releases infrared when heated, breaking down the fats in food thus helps to lower cholesterol absorption by the body. Mineral released can raise the alkaline content of food in cooking, while iron helps in blood building.

I love the cute wallpaper decoration, so joyful and relaxing.

Complimentary ginger tea and spirulina are served once you placed order.

I love the hot and strong ginger taste tea. 

Lady's Finger with Sesame Sauce RM15.90

This is really appetizing as the sesame sauce complement the lady finger well. 

Soya Milk Curry Laksa RM18.90

Must try!!! Taste just as good as the usual coconut laden curry laksa. Soya milk really does the trick well! 

Soy Milk Curry Claypot RM21.90

For rice lovers, this set come with brown rice and the curry taste just as good! Quite a huge serving too!

Fish Vermicelli Soup RM 19.90

A tad sourish, but since its apple cider vinegar added just think of its goodness and you may just find it appetizing. 

Five Colours Hakka Lei Cha RM21.90

Really pretty and healthy dish.

"Lui Cha" has the strong mint aftertaste. 

After your meal, don't forget to shop at BMS Organic for all your organic needs. 

They have assorted noodles, rice, sauces, beverages and household cleaning too.

Let's start your healthy meal at Be Lohas! What are you waiting for?

My verdict : They have extensive menu, I'm looking forward to a revisit soon. IMO, you will never go wrong with curry dishes. Must order Soya Milk Curry Laksa and Lady Finger's Sesame Sauce. Vegetarian foods can be tasty too!

MAGNUM the brand well known for its premium chocolate ice cream which is associated with lux-lifestyle recently launched the Celebrate Chocolate Pleasure campaign. The campaign was launched to strengthen Magnum’s positioning as a chocolate expert that uses the finest and most divine quality of Belgian chocolate in its ice cream. 

I was invited to join in the chocolate pleasure on a fine evening at Marble 8, KL. #OOTN

We get to personalize our chocolate bar instead of ice cream! 

Magnum further celebrates chocolate pleasure with a fashionable re-launch. What do you get when chocolate decadent meets the finest aesthetic of fashion creations? Certainly a unique yet exciting fashion collaboration between MAGNUM and Farah Khan, an international label whose brand DNA showcases versatility in every luxurious, bold and glamorous statement creations. One of the most influential woman in the fashion business, the unique collaboration features hand beaded dresses creations inspired by the five flavours of MAGNUM ice creams.

According to Dato' Farah Khan, the idea of combining chocolate with art interpreting into fashion pieces is a brilliant collaboration. It has given her great pleasure to be part of this collaboration. Regarded as a style icon and known for creating inspiring fashion pieces, Dato’ Farah Khan created The Pleasure Seekers Collection. The special capsule collection inspired by MAGNUM Ice Cream’s 5 iconic and unique flavours – the MAGNUM Gold, MAGNUM Classic, MAGNUM Almond, MAGNUM Chocolate Brownie and MAGNUM Chocolate & Strawberry. The one-of-a-kind collection infuses MAGNUM Ice Cream’s decadent richness with FARAH KHAN’S distinctive design vision. Effortlessly glamorous, the exclusive pieces were brought to life by FARAH KHAN’s signature delicate beads and embellishments that were hand-sewn, bead-by-bead to ensure each piece is as beautiful as its craftsmanship. 

The collection was debuted with a grand entrance of Precious Gold, a stunning creation inspired by MAGNUM Gold. The dress was designed with hand-embroidered antique gold beads in swirling light and dark hues. The exquisite detailing of the design amplifies the attitude of MAGNUM Gold - delightful and utterly divine. 

The next FARAH KHAN piece - Luscious Chocolate & Strawberry was inspired by the luscious flavour of the MAGNUM Chocolate & Strawberry, swirls of hand-sewn adornments in golden brown compliments the stunning piece with a glamorous allure. The sumptuous sparkle replicates the sheer delight of the MAGNUM indulgence. 

The rich taste of the MAGNUM Chocolate Brownie inspired FARAH KHAN’s creative team to invent Luxurious Chocolate Brownie, the third look which is a delicious piece, delicately crafted and drenched with glorious matte and shiny rich brown beads and embroidery. 

The fashion show continued with Heavenly Almond, a FARAH KHAN number that is inspired by the texture symphony of the MAGNUM Almond. Carefully hand-beaded by artisans around South East Asia, a mixture of matte and shiny brown chocolate beads and specks of frosted bronze embellishments adorn this inimitable piece. 

For the fifth look, FARAH KHAN wowed the crowd with Irresistibly Classic. Inspired by the all-time-favourite MAGNUM Classic featuring shades of opulent bronze were used by the FARAH KHAN creative team to mirror the smooth and silky Belgian Chocolate coating of this iconic favourite.

The highlight of the event was the fashion show finale, where models in the 5 signature creations each made their appearance with the MAGNUM ice cream which inspires their look together with Mr Herry Budiazhari, Marketing Director of Unilever (Malaysia) Holdings Sdn Bhd and along with Dato’ Farah Khan, Creative Director of Farah Khan. 

The event also marked the unveiling of an all new packaging of MAGNUM Ice Cream during the event. The new packaging design symbolizes Magnum’s brand image as the pioneer of chocolate expertise and ice cream by introducing fresh and exciting ice cream product innovations. The contemporary design features a bold and distinctive presence of the ‘M’ logo and the famous Belgian Chocolate Crack.

The MAGNUM ice cream replicas were exclusively created by FARAH KHAN for MAGNUM KUALA LUMPUR, the first pleasure store in the world with two infinity bars.

MAYFAIR BODYLINE SLIM MASTER AND REJUVENATING FACIAL REVIEW

With more than 30 years of experience in slimming and beauty industry, Mayfair Bodyline is one of the leading slimming, facial and spa center. Designed as one-stop beauty center, their services come with advance technologies and operated by a team of professionally-trained consultants and therapists. Not only facials and body slimming treatments, a series of body pampering treatments are available too with satisfying result for you to flaunt. Earlier in the month, I got the chance to try out slimming and facial session with the esteemed Mayfair Bodyline.

I had consultations with the beauty therapist on which part of the body I’m concerned of, which are my lower belly fat and dehydrated skin.

 

The treatment room is spacious and comfy. 

SLIM MASTER

 

Wow… For every session of Slim Master treatment equals to liposuction of 125mgFat! 

 Slim Master works by intense ultra-sound in the fatty layer, creating micro-bubble that generated and hits the surface of fat cells, triggering the implosion and the emulsification of fat cells, which were absorbed by the lymphatic system and drainage system, thus eliminated from the body. It can also stimulate the body to increase secretion of LPL enzyme, which will decompose the fatty acids into energy. With lymph circulation, it will improve blood circulation, lymphatic circulation and also stimulates the growth of the cell, stimulate metabolism.

   

Slim Master works by the breakdown of fats and followed by suction. 

Ionic static uses high-frequency oscillation aimed to activate cell, adjust the autonomic nerves, purify the blood and balance the body acid-base. In addition, it also helps to balance the body potential in order to improve endocrine disorders, tissue and organ system dysfunction. Fat cell are dissolved, strengthen histiocytes, promote metabolism, and remove the waste and toxin in the tissue of the body. Dredge the channels and collaterals, prompt lymph circumfluence and blood circulation. 

Metabolism stimulator with five functions at the same time: 

1)Dissolve fat 

2)Tighten skin 

3)Firm muscles 

4)Reduce edema 

5)Balance physical energy

 

  

Just by standing on it for 10 min equals to 1 hour of strengthening exercise. How easy it is! 

Vibe Kinetic Therapy (Full Body) 

Vibration effect of VKT is like thousands of small rolling massage with far-infrared that helps to burn fat. The calorie consumption is much faster and more efficient compared to normal exercise. For only 10 minutes of time, VKT can consume 500 calories, equivalent to one to two hours of the exercise. Therefore, it helps to speed up weight loss program.

CLA Chili Slimming(Full Body) 

CLA is the essence extracted from chili pepper seeds. The active element in capsicum essence can be effective and rapidly stimulate the decomposition and excretion of the body fat. There’s a slight hot sensation, but there’s no discomfort or such. 

HEAT Circulation (Full Body) 

Heat blanket which the heat may relieve muscle; improve blood circulation in addition to reduce fluid retention. I really sweat buckets in here!

RESULTS!!! 

Before – Obvious lower belly fat 

After - OMG…. It’s all flat now! *happy* 

With Power Detoxification, it will firm and tighten, muscle & skin too.

Yay….. Now I can wear my crop top with confidence! :p 

SKIN REJUVENATING FACIAL

I’m in for a powerful toning, moisturizing, anti-oxidant treatment to awaken my skin, spirit and senses. 

MayFair Bodyline treats my dark eye circle with Intensive Eye treatment for a tighter and smoother skin around the eye, lifts the eyebrow and local tissues, helping to reduce the under eye "Bags". 

Not forgetting Intensive Neck Therapy to reduce moisture loss, minimize fine lines and wrinkles. I have a very relaxing Tension Release Treatment. The beauty therapist applies moderate pressure with energy essential oil to improve the blood circulation and physical health improvement. It also helps rebalance and increase mental relaxation clarity. IST Detoxification helps restore the skin’s natural lipid film and regenerate its barrier function. 

This is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses electrodes to stimulate the dermal layer to produce more collagen to tighten skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles! 

It will help with lightening & brightening, minimizing the pores, skin metabolism is stimulated and cell renewal is activated hydra infusion.
