"A Bottle A Day for Youthful and Supple Skin!" 

As a bride-to-be, I am super excited to sample this box of collagen sent from Sample Store. 

About MU Nutrition+

Most of us are unable to obtain a good balance of nutritions based in our daily lives. Also, we are constantly exposed to high levels of electro-magnetic waves from electronic gadgets and equipment we use on a daily basis. 

This continuous exposure to free radicals and consumption of processed and genetically modified foods create imbalance within our bodies which can be quite detrimental to our health and overall well-being. 

Hence the MU Nutrition+ range of supplements is designed to address the below common concerns:

1. Pre-mature ageing due to loss of collagen and key vitamins for skin and organs

2. Improve body's detoxification abilities

3. Enhance gastro-intestinal health by introducing beneficent bacteria (probiotics) 

4. Improve overall metabolism and blood circulation

5. Block / displace excess fat, sugars and carbohydrates consumed through daily diet

6. Enhance overall organ functions

7. Increase energy levels and vitality

8. Improve immunity

FAQs

What is Collagen?

Collagen is a protein in the human body which is required to maintain the structure and density of your skin. Collagen proteins derived from fish contain high amounts of amino acids and peptides directly involved in the formation of collagen and elastin. 

Ideally, young and healthy skin should consist of about 80% of collagen. However our bodies produce lesser collagen in our mid 30s which results in our skin not being able to regenerate naturally. 

As we advance in age, the level of collagen drops to about 40% and our skin will lose its firmness and wrinkles starts to form.

When is BEST to take Collagen?

It is better to start earlier in order to enjoy the long term benefits - but improvements can be made at practically any age!

Why MIEUX?

MIEUX contains BHN (Marine) Collagen which can be better absorbed by our body as compared to other types of collagen with same molecular weight. 

In addition, MIEUX is enhanced with CoQ10, Ceramide and Vitamins C and E for skin hydration, elasticity and luminosity. 

Hence you are enjoying the benefits much superior than just collagen in itself ;) 

Directions of Use

Recommended consumption is 1 bottle (50 ml) a day before bedtime.

**Shake well before consumption; consume the entire entire bottle after opening.

Do not be kiasu / overly greedy because excessive collagen consumed will not be absorbed by the body and will be an utter waste.

When will I start to see results?

On the average, it takes about 2-3 weeks to notice the skin becoming more hydrated and supple. However, the disclaimer is that results may vary from individual to individual as other lifestyle habits such as diet, smoking of tobacco products and alcohol consumption as well as sleeping habits and exposure to UV rays will also affect the skin condition.

Ingredients

Every bottle of MIEUX contains 3000mg BHN Collagen and 10mg Ceramide.

My Review

MIEUX contains Apple extract and the taste wise is rather sweet and sourish but not very unpleasant in my own opinion.  Texture wise is syrupy (tastes better than cough syrup).

I could drink the entire bottle without hiccups unlike other brands of marine collagen which I have tried earlier which contains the fishy taste. 

Also, I noticed that my skin has become smoother after consumption :)

MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask

Advertorial: Recharge and Brighten your EYES with MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask in 10 Minutes

Our EYES need a BREAK!!!

It is so true that our eyes are the windows to our souls. 

With bright sparkly eyes, one looks a lot more alluring than the other with dull eyes...

I was grateful that The Sample Store sent me the MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask to try out as Sweetie Muffin and I have issues with tired and sore eyes after facing our computers, iPhones and TVs for prolonged hours...

Please do register an account with The Sample Store by clicking on the icon below if you have not done so:

World Cup FEVER

Sweetie Muffin watching Football Match

The World Cup Fever is back again and Sweetie Muffin is burning midnight oil just to catch his favourite matches LIVE! Hence this has aggravated his dark eye circles and his eyes were constantly tearing (as they were too dry), dull and tired... Meh~ ;(

GOAL GOAL GOAL!!!

He looks practically like a ZOMBIE these days *Sigh*

If you people have boyfriends / guy friends out there, you might probably observe the same symptoms on them for this entire month :D

Since we cannot stop them from watching their favourite football matches, we can only try to alleviate their tired and sore eyes with the MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask!

MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask

Brief Introduction

MegRhythm is an established Japanese Wellness Brand which offers a range of products to support the healthy and active lifestyles of city dwellers. 

The common problems of city dwellers are stiff shoulders, backaches, tired eyes and insomnia. 

Prolonged hours of facing the computers, mobile phones, TVs and other electronic devices normally cause tired eyes and decrease sleep quality. Hence the MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask is invented to help alleviate discomfort arising from tired eyes. 

Why is it called STEAM Eye Mask?

Practically because the mask warms up to a comfortable 40 degree celsius when it comes into contact with air and it emits steam after a few seconds! This steam gently moisturises the skin around our eyes :)

Watch my demonstration video below:

Comes in 4 Variants - Retailing @ SGD6.50 per box

 The MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask comes in 4 variants - Unscented, Fresh Rose, Lavender and Chamomile. They are sold exclusively at Guardian and Watsons stores for SGD6.50 per box (5pcs). 

The Scented Versions of the Eye Masks helps to relax your sense with aromatherapy. 

For those who dislike fragrances, you may opt for the unscented version :)

Description and Illustration at the back of the box..

 How To Use

Usage is super simple with 2 easy steps:

1. Remove eye mask from the pouch.

The Mask will begin to warm up when it comes into contact with the air.

2. Tear along perforation, then place ear straps around ears.

*Note: Keep eyes close during use.

Here Sweetie Muffin will be demonstrating the usage of the Steam Eye Mask in our Youtube Video below:

Review

Overall, we liked using the Steam Eye Mask as it is very convenient and easy to use. Its ergonomic design wraps our eyes gently and it stays on our eyes no matter how we fidgeted around.

The compact packaging makes it ideal to be brought along for travelling and it can be conveniently used onboard planes as a form of relaxation too! You can choose to use it anywhere you wish but do ensure that you do not move about like a blind mouse after wearing it :P

We personally like the Chamomile Version of the Steam Eye Mask as the fragrance is very light and aromatic (smells exactly like Chamomile Tea with Honey)!

Our Choice: Chamomile Fragrance :)

Also, Sweetie Muffin did feedback that he collapsed into bed and slept throughout the night undisturbed after using the Chamomile Steam Eye Mask! I do hope that sufficient sleep can reduce his dark eye circles a little :S

Da Rabbit's Rating:
Value for Money: ★★★☆☆
Efficacy: ★★★◐☆
Overall: ★★★☆☆

Wheat Baumkuchen @ Food Garden, Asia Square Tower 1

Stall Name: Wheat Baumkuchen

Wheat Baumkuchen
Website: http://www.wheatbaumkuchen.com
Location: Asia Square Tower 1, Food Garden, 8 Marina View, #02-02, Singapore 018960
Operating Hours: Weekdays 9:00 - 21:00

Introduction to Asia Square n Food Garden

As Lau Pat Sat is closed for renovation for 'eternity', we have no choice but to dine at the Food Garden Food Court within our office building frequently. Thank God that Asia Square Tower 2 is opened with the Food Garden's new wing extended into Tower 2, offering us with more variety of food and other services like nail salon, florist and laundry. Its a pity why they do not house a supermarket here because we love to DIY our own salad during lunch time. Meh~

As Marina Bay is to be developed into the next prime business district with all the banks and companies in the finance sector to be housed in it, it is important to set up more foodie places to satisfy the growing population and the increasing demand for quality food.

Asia Square was officially opened on 8 November 2011 - it is a twin-tower mixed-use development which comprise of Office Space, 5 Star Hotel, Retail Space and 'The Cube'. Asia Square Tower 1 consists of 43 storeys whereas Tower 2 consists of 46 storeys integrated with The Westin Singapore Marina Bay. In short, it is an ultra ATAS (Means 'Classy' in Malay) building with a very good and generous Landlord (of course, the rental is not cheap lah!). My office is housed in such a building so my hopes of having a budget lunch have been dashed for good. Meh~

Our Food Garden here is classier than Food Republic and it is amazing that they manage to convince major brands to set up stalls in the loft-like food court. The stalls are amazingly generous too - we have enjoyed some promotions and offers for their grand openings such as getting free burritos or free pastries from Artisan Boulangerie Co.

Some big brands you may find in Food Garden:

1. Astons Express
2. Guzman y Gomez Mexican Taqueria
3. Imperial Treasure 
4. Pepper Lunch Express
5. Starbucks
6. The Soup Spoon 

Le' Stall

According to the website, Wheat Baumkuchen was established in 2010 in Singapore and its pastry became popular overnight. Cold Noodles was introduced in 2011 which gained its popularity among health-conscious customers. Hence we shall see if healthy food can be tasty in our review below...

Again, I left the office at 11:30am to beat the lunch crowd and hence is able to snap a few nice photos of the stall itself :) Prince William joined for lunch too but he ordered a bowl of soupy noodles from Imperial Treasure..

Getting ready for Xmas with the Santa's Hat...

Order Counter

I made my order and was given this electronic device that will buzz when the food is ready for collection - I find it quite pointless because I was standing at the Collection Point holding the Buzzer.. Whahaha!

Le' Menu

This is a snapshot of the Delivery Menu obtained from the Stall earlier. To view the full menu, you might want to visit the official website to find out more :)

Delivery Menu

Le' Food

I ordered their Popular Penguin Noodles which comprise of Green Soba, Sesame Sauce, Shredded Chicken, Fried Eggs and Tuna Salad.

The noodles come together with a complimentary home-made Ice Lemon Tea / Water Chestnut.  I chose Water Chestnut drink as I love its sweet taste ♥~

Health Benefits

Soba

Soba, also known as buckwheat noodles, has the following amazing benefits:

• Promotes Cardiovascular Health
• Lowers Risk of Diabetes as it controls Blood Sugar levels
• Prevents Gallstones
• Prevents Breast Cancer for pre-menopausal women due to its high finer content

Quail Eggs

Quail Egg is a good source of:

• Folate
• Iron
• Pantothenic Acid
• Phosphorus 
• Protein
• Riboflavin
• Selenium
• Vitamin B12

The Mini Quail Egg looks cute...

Tuna

Tuna is low in Saturated Fat and is also a good source of:

• Phosphorus
• Protein
• Vitamin B6
• Vitamin B12
• Selenium

Penguin Noodles (SGD7.80)

I received my order within 5 minutes as I was among the first few in the queue~ WHEEE~~

Penguin Noodles + Water Chestnut Drink

The noodles actually tasted as appetising as it looks. The cold soba noodles was springy in texture with bite-sized quail eggs and tuna salad to flavour the dish. In addition, the sesame added to the Penguin Noodles do provide an aromatic aftertaste but it kind of got stuck in between Da Rabbit's teeth as well.. LOL. But overall, I have to agree that healthy food tastes GREAT!!! If you were to serve this dish to the patients in the hospital, I am sure they would be delighted!

Also, the Water Chestnut Drink is home-made goodness in a cup! The sweetness is not over-bearing and yet it helps to quench my thirst ♥♥

Mouth-Watering Goodness...

YUMMILICIOUS!!!

UPDATE (16 Dec 2013): Dolphin Noodles (SGD7.80)

I tried their Dolphin Noodles this afternoon. The Dolphin Noodles consists of Ramen, Miso Sauce, Prawns, Quail Eggs and Salad. The noodles came with complimentary Ice Lemon Tea and Water Chestnut drink as well. It is equally tasty with the sesame topping but I prefer the Penguin Noodles as they have eggs and tuna in it. The Dolphin Noodles tasted a little too plain with just 2 prawns and some quail eggs :(

UPDATE (24 Jan 2014): Salmon Noodles (SGD9.00)

Soba. Yuzu Sauce. Grilled Salmon. Salad. Ice Lemon Tea or Water Chestnut.

Salmon Noodles (SGD9.00)

Soba. Yuzu Sauce. Grilled Salmon. Salad. Ice Lemon Tea or Water Chestnut.

I fell in love with their food! The Salmon meat is very tender and succulent and it doesn't have the fishy taste at all! Absolutely yummy~

Close-Up

*UPDATE (4 Jan 2014): Reindeer (SGD7.80)

Soba. Sesame Sauce. Wakame. Bunashimeiji. Edamame. Salad.

Reindeer (SGD7.80)

I realised that all the dishes no longer served with their complimentary Ice Lemon Tea / Water Chestnut Drink. Perhaps the rental @ Asia Square is too expensive and it is burning into their operating profit... *HAIX*

Close-Up

However, I am still glad that the quality of food is still maintained and their soba is as tasty as ever! Who cares about the complimentary drinks if your main purpose is to fill your tummy with healthy and tasty foodie? Anyway we are free to purchase our favourite drink from Gong Cha or Toast Box also located in Food Garden :3

*UPDATE (13 Feb 2014): Polar Bear Rice (SGD7.80)

Brown Rice. Sauteed Pork. Egg. Salad.

*UPDATE (13 Feb 2014): Polar Bear Rice (SGD7.80)

The brown rice tasted rather coarse (which is expected) but it is still edible with the meat gravy.

The Sunny Side-Up taste pretty normal - not the runny type that I prefer, sadly.

Overall taste is still OK as I polished the plate entirely as usual :)

After lunch, we went to explore the newly opened Westin Hotel at Asia Square Tower 2.

The view from their hotel lobby (located at the 34th Storey) was splendid.

Was so excited that I can see AXA Tower from the hotel lobby... Perhaps I can wave to my friend who is working in AXA Tower~ But I doubt she'll see me.. LOL

We managed to gain access to the Swimming Pool area after Prince William displayed his charm to the staff there ♥♥

Swimming Pool

We got really envious of the hotel guests who are able to enjoy the splendid view and sunbath whilst reading a novel by the poolside. Prince William said he had always wanted to visit the pool when he saw the view from outside our office's window during a meeting...  

Basking in the sun on a working day ~ what luxury!

Outdoors!!

View from the Swimming Pool

Having a chance to enjoy the facilities of The Westin Singapore is such luxury. Too bad we have to make our way back to our office to face the harshness of reality as lunchtime is up so soon. How I wish we can work during weekends and rest on weekdays!! Ahhhhh~
