Fast Food

Do you eat fast-food?

We're especially constituted to like that caloric combination-even though it leads to weight gain, clogged arteries and heart attack, high blood pressure, diabetes- because for most of humans history, calories were scare and we became attuned to enjoying then wherever we found them.
Despite the riches of such foods, consumers don't reduce portion sizes, so they often take in twice as many calories in a sitting as the body needs. Enter obesity.

Fast foodies also consume more sweetened beverage and less milk, less fiber, and fewer fruits and vegetables than is recommended. Most ingredients that end up in fast food are product of factory farms and are highly processes, grown with high levels of pesticides, but providing fewer nutrients. More than a quarter of Americans depend on fast food, and over 30% of people consume some fast food on any given day.

The data doesn't even hint at larger issue: the behavioral impact fast food has on us- whether we eat fast food or not. And the effects go far beyond nutrition and health. Here's the kicker- you don't have to consume fast food to be the target of some its most insidious effects.

Incidental and unconscious exposure to the fast-food symbols that are all around us make people feel time-stressed and impatient in settings far outside the eating domain.

Just a glimpse of the golden arches changes our psychology so that people become impatient about financial decision- they wind up unwilling to postpone immediate gain for future rewards, so they sacrifice savings, against their own economic interest.

It represent a culture that emphasizes time efficiency and immediate gratification.

"The implicit idea of fast food is to satiate yourself as quickly as possible"

Poverty

How do you feel about money?

Most people would say the love money, but if they don't have enough, they don't feel good about it all. If you look out into the world, you will see that the majority of people don't feel good about money, because the majority of the world's money and riches is in the hands of about 10 % of the people. The only difference between the wealthy people and everyone else is that the wealthy people give more good feelings about money than they do bad feelings.

Why is it that so many people feel bad about money? It's not because they have never had money, because most of the people who have money began with nothing. The reason why so many people feel bad about money is that they have negative beliefs about money, and those negative beliefs were fed into the subconscious minds when they were children. Like : We cant afford that" " Money is evil" "Rich people must be dishonest" " Wanting money is wrong and it's not spiritual".
When you're a child, you accept just about everything your parents, teachers, or society tell you. And so without realizing it, you grow up having negative feelings about money. The irony is that, at the same time that you're told that wanting money is wrong, you are told that you have to earn a living, even if it means doing work you don't love. Maybe you were even told that there are only certain jobs you can do to earn a living, that it's a limited list.

None of these things are true. The people who told you these things are innocent because they were passing on what they believed and felt was true, but because they believed it, the law of attraction made it true in their lives. If you lack money in your life, it is because you are giving out more bad feelings than you are giving good feelings about money.

To be anybody

If you could be anybody....... who would you be?

I don't believe that simply thinking positive thoughts, always leads to physical cures. You need more than just "positive thinking" to harness control of your body and your life. It's important for our health and well-being to shift our mind's energy toward positive, life-generating thoughts and eliminate ever-present, energy-draining and debilitating negative thoughts. The mere thinking of positive thoughts will not necessarily have any impact on our lives at all. in fact, sometimes people who "flunk" positive thinking become more debilitated because now they think their situation is hopeless- they believe thay have exhausted all mind and body remedies. What those positive-thinking dropats haven't understood is that the seemingly "separate" subdivisions of the mind, the conscious and the subconscious are interdependent. The conscious mind is the creative one, the one that can conjure up "positive thoughts". In contrast, the subconscious mind is a repository of stimulus-response tapes derived from instincts ans learned experiences. The subconscious mind is strictly habitual; it will play the same behavioral responses to life's signals over and over again, much to our chagrin.

How many times have you found yourself going ballistic over something trivial like an open toothpaste tube?
You have been trained since childhood to carefully replace the cop. When you find the tub with it's cop left off, your "but-tones are pushed" and you automatically fly into rage. You have just experienced the simple stimulus-response of a behavior program stored in the subconscious mind.
When it comes to sheer neurological processing ability's, the subconscious mind is millions of times more powerful than the conscious mind. If the desire of the conscious mind conflict with the programs in the subconscious mind, which "mind" do you think will win out?
You can repeat the positive affirmation that you are lovable over and over or that your cancer tumor will shrink. But it, as child, you heard over and over that you are worthless and sickly, those messages programmed in your subconscious mind will undermine your best conscious efforts to change your life. Be aware that there is hope even for those of you who used positive thinking and failed miserably.
Positive thoughts are a biological man dale for happy healthy life.

In the words of Mahatma Gandhi:
Your beliefs becomes your thoughts.
Your thoughts become your words.
Your words become your actions.
Your actions become your habits.
Your habits became your value.
Your values become your destiny.

Wild Fires

These wildfire are 10 min from my house. Very scary, seeing helicopters dropping water over the fires, they said ,they had it under control, but it's still burning.
It is so hot here 105 Fahrenheit.

Had a sad day today, because I was told to lie, about something that goes against my beliefs., I could not believe that somebody would ask me to do that!
I refused and got in lot of trouble. But I don't care. It is so funny when people claim to have powers, and then it turns out they don't have any power and they have to do what other people tell them do. Maja you know what I am talking about! But remember there is a consequence with every action!

Today my steam shower was finished, so excited.

Time to read some books and clear my mind from all negativity today :)

Why you Lie

People lie out of love, hate, or greed. Self-preservation is a form of self love that ranks at the top of the list of reasons why people lie. Usually, it's not literal self-preservation, but perceived. Another reason to lie is to be polite, which again can be a form of love. "Honey, do these pants make my butt look big?
Most people would probably agree that it's more polite to say something farther from the truth: "No". Sometimes, it's just easier t lie than it is to tell the truth.
Another love-based lie might be to protect someone else.
A soldier will lie to help destroy an enemy. A business executive might lie to damage a competitor. Finally, people lie for personal gain, or greed. Exaggeration on resume', inflated deductions on a tax return and glossy stories of your days as a collage athlete-all are lies that "everybody" tells.

There are also times when an untruth is not a lie. Two different people can remember different details of the same event to such a great extent that their stories contradict each other. Eyewitnesses to a crime can be unreliable source of information because of the combination of stress, point of view, influences from other eyewitnesses, and so on. No one is lying, but no one is telling the truth. And, yes, men and women have slightly different brains so they may have conflicting versions of the same story-with neither one being wrong or deceptive.

Personality Types:
Sensing types take the world as it is, look for data, like to build and make things and use their hands, and are generally highly organized and systematic. Sensors are viewed by others as the methodical and realistic, the grounded type who makes decisions based on facts.

Intuiting types "read between the lines" always and are using their " sixth sense" to try to understand what is not easily seen or supported by data and they are generally more comfortable with breaking rules if it means developing something new.

Thinking types obviously feel and felling types obviously think. This characteristic is all about how people make decisions, and thinkers value facts. They make decisions with their heads, whereas feeling types make decisions based on morals, value, and norms, and generally how decisions will affect people and how they feel or live.

Judgers live their lives under the conception that there is a right way for things to occur. "Right in this case means "structured" or "ordered". Judgers like their environment to resemble their mind: clean, orderly and uncluttered.

Perceivers, on the other hand, are pilers. Offices and living spaces can be a mess without disrupting perceivers. They live in a world of possibilities. Always rethinking or redoing things.

Temperaments types:
The rationals are competent, autonomous, and strong willed. And they don't lie well!

The idealists are authentic, benevolent, and empathic. And they make good liars!

The guardians are respectable, good, and reliable. And the wont lie!

The artisans are graceful, daring, and adaptable. Their approach to lying is "if i tell a little truth, that's good enough.

The value of spotting access senses, sorting styles, and personality and temperament types will take shape as you begin looking at the specifics of how to spot a liar!

Celebrity Bag

Few items are more reveling than a handbag. It has been estimated that, in her lifetime, the average woman spends 76 entire days rummaging in its impenetrable and mysterious depths, And in my experience, the rummaging is rarely successful on the first attempt. I find it usually takes three calls before women can retrieve her phone from the chaos of combs, brushes, clips, books, keys, make-up, cameras, glasses and everything else :) No wonder a certain Californian self-discovery cult insisted all truth about human motivation could be revealed by emptying the contents of your bag on the floor. But if your id is in inside your handbag, your ego is on the outside. Since Hermes named its "Kelly" bag after Princess Grace, handbags have become increasingly potent fashion accessories. Every fickle season brings new favourite. The celebrity bag is a delicious reminder of fashion's absurdities.

Today somebody that have been very close to me turned out to be the biggest scumbag ever in my life! Every time I trust somebody, they turn on me!
I refuse giving up! I will find somebody on this planet to trust :)

Faking It

Few blocks from my office, street vendors will sell me LV Bag, Versace T-shirts you name it. Or I could get a deal on a Rolex watch. These are not authentic brand-name products. I doubt anyone can tell the difference. People buy them all the time. To plush their self-image and broadcast that polished version of personality to the world- at a fraction of the price. But does it work? After all, we first have to convince ourselves of our idealized image if we are going to sway anyone else.

New research suggest that knockoffs not really work as magically as we would like. Indeed, they backfire.

In one study, the scientists recruited a large sample of young women and had them wear pricey Gucci Sunglasses, but half of the women thought they were wearing knockoffs. The researchers wanted to see if wearing counterfeit shades- a form of dishonesty- might make the woman act dishonestly in other ways.

They asked the women to perform a couple of tasks that presented opportunities for lying and cheating. In one, the women worked on a complicated set of mathematical puzzles- a task they could not possibly complete in the time allowed. When their allowed time was up, the women were told to score themselves on the honor system- and to take money for each correct score. Unbeknownst to them, the scientists were monitoring both their work and scoring.

And guess what? The women who thought they were wearing the fake Gucci Sunglasses cheated more. Fully 70% inflated their performance when they thought nobody was checking on them. By comparison, "only" 30% of the group who knew they wore authentic Gucci Sunglasses.

Wearing counterfeit glasses not only fails to booster our ego and self-image the way we hope, it actually undermines our internal sense of authenticity.

"Faking It" makes us feel like phonies and cheaters on the inside, and this alienated, counterfeit "self" leads to cheating and cynicism in the real world.
Most people buy these fake brand-name items because they are a lot cheaper than the real deal! but this research suggest that a hidden moral cost has yet to be tallied.

Fatal Attraction

Have you ever found yourself in a situation when you have entered a work relationship that showed great promises at the beginning, but grew increasingly more difficult over time? Perhaps it involved a charismatic Boss, co worker or a loved one. When you first met, you felt drawn to this person; you were excited at the prospect of working or being together. What started as a positive connection turned into bitter spill. Interaction with this person left you emotionally upset and professionally frustrated. No matter what you did, you couldn't steer the relationship back to it's vibrant beginning. I call this kind of relationship a FATAL ATTRACTION.

They are very confusing because they feel so exhilarating at first, something about their personality entices you, pulls you in.
It may be their intelligence, charm, talent, confidence, enthusiasm, beauty or social status! You may be captivated by their glowing admiration and respect for you. Whatever the initial attraction stems from.
You enter the relationship on an emotional high. Unfortunately that "high" inevitably turn south. What begins as a pleasurable connection between two people disintegrates into painful interpersonal trap for you.
The positive qualities that initially attracted you fade into the background, while unforeseen negative attributes crop up and take fare ground. Your charismatic boss, lover or friend suddenly display a violent tamper or you catch him telling a blatant lie about you! What's most frustrating about a FATAL ATTRACTION is that it goes bad due to forces you cannot control! The relationship becomes "Fatal" not because of something you say or do, but because the other person changes the rules. Without warning, you find yourself dealing with a different human being than the one you first found so appealing and you get hooked into trying to retrieve that initial positive connection. I identified 5 common brands of Fatal Attraction.....

The Explorer:
This individual is attractive to those who seek approval from authority figures.

The Empty Pit:
This bond magnetizes natural caregivers, a seemingly kind person who is weighed down with personal problems.

The Saboteur:
This dangerous liaison seduces those who crave admiration and respect from others. They enter the relationship as your fan, you admirer. You receive large doses of flattery. You feel as if someone finally recognizes your value.

The Pedestal Smasher:
This rocky relationship is attractive to those who feel insecure about their capabilities yet crave recognition. As the title indicates, your experience is to be placed on a pedestal, only to have that platform smashed.

The Chip on the Shoulder:
This agonizing association is attractive to people with a fairness orientation. The chip is often bright and capable, but feel cheated by life in some way. Whatever happened remains forever in the fore front of this person's mind.

This is a description of the seven stages of FATAL ATTRACTION

Magnetism= known as the honeymoon period both people are on their best behavior and anything seems possible.

Consumption= at this stage, the relationship turns a corner, the other person begins to exhibit another side of his or hers personality. You witness conduct that disturbs you: destructive criticism, back stabbing comments.

Rehearsal & Recovery= In an attempt to control your environment and master the inter personal exchanges within the relationship. You use your family, colleagues and friends as sounding boards.

Conversion obsession= You become obsessed with getting the other person to change. Exhausted by the emotional toll this association is taking on you, you insist that the other person convert into someone capable of understanding and respecting your point of view. You want to render justice and make this person see the right.

Post-Interactive Heartburn= This leave you with a kind of emotional indigestion. You come away from conversations, phone calls feeling wounded up, punched out or deflated. Because the other persons behavior is wearing you down.

Allergic Reaction= You develop automatic physical reaction to the other person. When you hear their voice or stand in their presence your body responds with headaches, shallow breathings, churning stomach, neck pain and hot flashes. You body expresses it's distress in a myriad of ways.

Imprisonment; You look and feel like a prisoner of war. Part of you is resigned to the negative treatment and can't imagine a better reality. When you talk about your relationship, you sound bitter & resentful. You can't see your way out and can't find resolution. You feel trapped in a NO-WIN situation!

This is why my relationship fails, that OK I will get it right on day with Mr. Right :) I have my whole life in front of me, my journey has just begun :)

My day was very happy, my daughter had a horse show, she came first & third.
She was the youngest, allot of competition, my little star was shining today.
I am so proud of her!

What a night and day :( First I was sick to my stomach (food poisoning) from eating Sharky's Burrito. ( I never learn from my mistakes)
I had scheduled people to work @ the house today, they cancelled without telling me! They start lying and give me different excuses.

Went to Beverly Hills,to change my batteries(my Cartier Watches), stopped by Wolford and bought my stay-up's, they have the sexiest stuff ever, every woman needs to experience Wolford :) All you men, get that for your women :)

Went to the movies saw TOWN with Ben Affleck; great movie, cried too much, so sad ;)

Went to Kinkos sat there for 2.5h waiting for the guy to finish my work, that I put an order in for. I was freezing the whole time, the place was like a refrigerator, Also he lied straight up in my face!
What is wrong with people? why can't people say sorry and fix their mistakes?
why why??? I just don't understand that. By lying they think they can getaway with it!

Emotions

Can we trust our emotions?
Discretion and reserve are things of the past; we're now in the age of emotional outpouring. But where do these powerful feelings come from, and how do we manage them?

The day Michael Jackson died, the story made headlines around the world. When little Paris came on the TV, talking about her wonderful father, I just cried!

In these moments of global emotion, we are actually experiencing grief or joy for ourselves. It takes us back to our own story, to our own desires, whether conscious or unconscious, to our own most cherished dreams.

Collective emotions isn't fake; it's usually a projection of what we're really feeling. There is always an element of identification if we celebrate or grieve for a public figure. It's about ourselves to an extent, otherwise we wouldn't care. To be sad when someone we don't know personally dies is not unhealthy. In a sense it gives us permission to feel something.

So how do we tell if our emotions are genuine? For some people, expressing emotional extremes is an indulgence. I don't think feelings should be glorified. Feelings per se don't make you a better person. You can be overwhelmed and sobbing and insensitive to the feelings of others.

I'm a feeling person, as though this gives you some sort of moral high ground- but that might just be self-absorbed. The thing that matters the most is empathy.

Many new parents describe being unable to read about nasty things happening to children, as they find it unbearable. There's a heightened identification, in moments when we realise we're all vulnerable.

Research suggests that we're attracted to people with expressive faces. Because we know what to expect from those people and can adapt our behavior accordingly-
flee, be friendly, or attack.

Many of us, and men more than women, believe that holding back our emotions and dealing with problems without asking for help is a sign of strength. Real strength lies in recognising our own weaknesses!

This morning I woke up 4am, went to Downtown LA, to the flower market.
I bought flowers for my whole house :) it's unbelievable, so many beautiful flowers.

Testosterone's

You know this guy: bellowing at the bar, cutting off cars in packed traffic or mocking a crestfallen sports star. He's the testosterone ape, the swaggering embodiment of male aggression. For years scientist have pointed fingers at him as the living example of testosterone's brutish, self-centered antisocial expression.

A Swiss neuroscientist wondered about his stereotype. To explore it further, he and his team designed a study involving women, not men, along with testosterone and the root of all evil, money. And he showed that when success depends on fair play, higher testosterone levels encourage cooperation instead of aggression.

The study consisted of a simple, oft-analyzed game involving two people and one pile of money. One player offers a one-time deal on how to divide the money. If the second party accepts the split, both receive their shares. If she rejects it, nobody, gets a cent.

The woman who offered the deal were given either testosterone or a placebo. To ensure the testosterone would have an influence, the researchers gave the woman enough testosterone to pump up their baseline by 400 %. And after administering either the hormone or the placebo, the researchers asked the woman to guess which one they had received.

Women who received a placebo but believed they had received testosterone offered fair money splits only 10% of the time, probably because they harbored a negative stereotype of testosterone's effect.

Women who were given testosterone but thought it was a placebo, on the other hand, offered fair-share splits 60% of the time-significant more often than those who correctly guessed they got testosterone 30% or a placebo 50%.

It seems that testosterone feeds the drive to be victorious, no matter what the means are to that end. If being king of the hill is the goal, high testosterone levels can lead to verbal and physical aggression. But in situations where mutual benefit wins the prize, the same hormone engenders cooperation.

Comparing

Instead of making comparisons between children's varying abilities, parents should focus on their different needs!

Although they may not do it with malicious intent, or even full awareness, parents are constantly comparing their own children with other people's and with their siblings. Some will always assume the best of their own brood. Rather than encouraging them, this puts children under immense pressure, with the result that every failure, however small, becomes a major drama. Other tend to put their children down (for ex, your sister was a much better swimmer at your age), without realising they are trapping them in self-fulfilling negative beliefs. Children are easily influenced by their parents, judgment of them, and a child can actually become a failure in order not to disappoint.

Whether they're positive or negative, comparison are always toxic. They stop children constructing their own identities. Who are they, independent of anyone else, and how do they learn about life for themselves with others and define themselves in relation to their brothers and sisters, so there is no need for their parents to reinforce the pattern.

It's much better to focus on what makes us compare them with others. Our anger can be linked to pain or frustration that goes back to when our children were very small-a difficult birth or unhappiness in the early months. Parents who suppressed anger or misery at the time may retain a lingering, unintentional resentment against the child. While blaming the youngest for not being as bright as his older brother, the parents are trying to get themselves off the hook. But it's key to remember that we are never the same parents for each child, and that they're not clones. If parents were to take their children's different needs into account, rather than their accomplishments, they would be much better placed to respond to them.

There's an old Kodak camera in my dresser drawer. I ran across it just this afternoon. And I realize that I don't ever use it anymore. In fact last time I did I think it was with you. When we were down in Florida and had our beach to ourselves.
Somewhere in my closet there's a cardboard box just sitting on a shelf it's full of faded memories and it's been there ever since the night you left. Just forgotten photographs to remind me of the past, but I can still see everything just fine. Who needs pictures with a memory like mine?

Is this me?

First I would like to say THANK YOU TV3 & Meter Production for the beautiful flowers you send me today :) How did you know what I like? Let's do it again 2010 :)


As we watch all these smart people charge, lemming like, over the cliff, we ask, What's the matter with these people? Do they want to screw themselves up?

That's exactly what they want. The need to fail is the dark underside of the hubris of intellect and achievement. Every walk of life abounds with examples of senseless self-destruction that seems to have only one purpose, to avoid success. At the very moment that you stand on the brink of great success, your rebellious intelligence can be working to make sure you fail.

Sigmund Freud was among the first to recognize that many people have a secret passion for failure. Sooner or later, they turn their triumphs into disaster. Consciously, they revel in their success. But unconsciously, they reject success. They consider themselves unworthy; they don't believe they can handle it; in the core of their being they just don't want it.

Some self-destructive people, on reaching the top, decide they no longer need anybody else. They dump colleagues, partners, spouses. They insult and alienate those with whom they were friendly. This may be a naturally vicious personality, held in check for years, emerging at last. But, at least to a degree, it may be the need to fail. One method of ensuring failure, used by a lot of successful people we know, is to organize the opposition. The logic seems to be, once you defeat an opponent, make sure he remains an opponent.

Thank You

I would like to share this with all of you!

you go girl!:) you´re an extraordinary woman, who´s went through a very difficult time, to stand and See your marriage with your husband fall apart, and IF you HAD been that kind of egocentric bitch some people so much wants to believe you are, you would have handled the situation with only your best interest at heart, never mind who gets hurt along the way..... BUT, instead, you DID´NT let your emotions or sorrow take over, no, you didn't become greedy, you didn't demand anything more than you were entitled to, you decided, that no matter what, you´re gonna make it through and hopefully, make a meaningful relation with your ex-husband, instead of endless fighting... THAT'S intelligence. That's a role-model. That's how its DONE. so you´ve got my admiration. You don't let anyone step on you, or make you feel less than you are, but you don't step on anyone else either, and you reach out, to make the situation the best possible. I cant, for the love of god, understand WHY people "hate" you ( besides the obvious reason, envy) when you over and over again show the world that you are an intelligent woman, you have own money, and are NO gold-digger at all. I don't doubt for a moment that you loved Paul, and he loved you back, and that what ever the reasons were for your divorce you both have done the best you can for you and your children! best hugs, Anna

'To accept change, the only constant in life is change. In nature, in society, in relationships, at work, things change. And they change constantly. See it as part of the larger picture, as normal. Don't fight it. Adapt to it. They must often change who would be constant in happiness and wisdom"

Last day of Labor Day, everybody is going back to work :)
Anka family had a wonderful time today, Everybody was swimming, even the dogs, guess if they were happy :)

Went to the Carnival in Malibu, what a waste, kids had fun :)

To fight for love, if you know deep in your heart, that it's worth fighting for then fight. Sometimes you're the only one who knows what's right. And even if you fail, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you did your best. you can't do more.

S Tidningen

First I would like to thank Beatrice for the article, you are great :)

I love your Magazine :)

This is for all you jealous people, please mind your own business!

Grant others the same privacy you want yourself. Resist the temptation to pry. Use your energy positively- you'll be surprised how satisfying that is. If they want you to know, they'll tell you themselves. Often ignorance really is bliss- especially when gossip is so often WRONG anyway. Give respect. And you'll get it in return.

Beautiful

I love the way you stand in my way, you wont move til you get a kiss, and how you tell me that my name, taste so sweet on your lips. I love the way you hold me with your eyes, hold me so tight that I cant move, it's like everything I've ever known is a lie, and you're the simple truth, is it a dream or is it real? all I know is you make me feel so Beautiful, so Beautiful. I love how soft you touch my skin, like you're touching the wings of a butterfly. I wish we could just lock ourselves away in a room, where there was no such thing as time, I've never let anyone get this close, I've always been afraid, but you break down every wall and yet I feel so safe, every part of who I am, is so in love cause what I have is you :)

To love your work, sometimes it's inspiring, sometimes it's monotonous.
Usually it depends on our attitude. Look for the positives. Every job has it's own nobility. Give your work the respect it deserves. And you'll gain respect in return.

SKIN

Today I would like to share the latest SKIN the new Anti-Aging Skincare:)
You have to try it! I LOVE it and it works!
Not only outperformed other over-hyped creams, but also was found to be more effective than prescription treatments at repairing sun damage and decreasing wrinkle depth, its very gentle ;)

INSTALIFT GOJI
(Glycopeptide)
Derived from the Tibetan Goji Berry, INSTALIFT GOJI is an isolated active glycopeptide which combines the skin lifting and firming strength of both proteins and polysaccharides. This goji glycopeptide forms a perfect rigid lifting mesh to support sagging and wrinkled skin for creating an immediate visible lifting appearance. Incredibly, in clinical testing Instalift Goji improved skin firmness by 26.8% within one hour of application.

GATULINE EXPRESSION
(Acmella Oleracea Extract)
Gatuline Expression is a natural plant based active that immediately limits micro-contractions that create then aggravate facial wrinkles. In testing 83% of volunteers experienced a significant reduction in crow's feet and other expression wrinkles. Gatuline Expression benefits are cumulative, the longer the product is used the better the results. Gatuline Expression is completely safe and reversible, within 24 hours of ceasing its use, facial micro-contractions return to normal.

SYN-COLL
(Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5)

SYN-COLL is a deep penetrating, bio-active ingredient developed to remove any type of wrinkle and to repair existing stretch marks. SYN-COLL works by activating TSB (Tissue Growth Factor) and significantly increasing the production of collagen, a side effect being skin firming and moisturizing properties. In vivo test of 60 healthy volunteers over a period of 84 days has shown a 350% improvement of wrinkles compared to placebo.


SYN-AKE
(Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl)

Tripeptide is a powerful safe and reversible new synthetic peptide.
Developed to mimic snake venom. This tripeptide blocks muscle receptors smoothing out wrinkles. It is particularly effective against expression lines. In clinical trials, wrinkle depth reduction was achieved by as much as 52%.

ARGIRELINE
(Acetyl Hexapeptide-8)

A unique new peptide that both reduces the degree of existing facial wrinkles and has been demonstrated effective against their development. It's been shown to inhibit the formation of the SNARE complex (a core of membrane proteins that mediates neuronal exocytosis) as well as catecholamine release. These inhibitions confer anti-aging activity of Acetyl Hexapeptide-8; they closely relate to the basic biochemical mechanisms of wrinkle formation.

Controlled studies have also demonstrated that facial wrinkle depth can be reduced, especially in the forehead and around the eyes, and that Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 can prevent apparent facial skin ageing.
