March Birthday Event (Part 1)

(OSIM Exclusive)

It’s been our pleasure earlier this month to invite our exclusive customers to our March Birthday Celebration event. This birthday celebration event was specially held to thank our exclusive customers for their long-time support, and also most importantly to celebrate their birthdays with us!

Together, each of them brought a friend along for this celebration. Just for this birthday event, we have specially invited Feng Shui Master Khor to give each of our guests an insight on palmistry and how what colours would invite beneficial energies into their lives. This Feng Shui session with Master Khor was an instant hit and soon, our guests were warmed up and were actively participating and discussing about Feng Shui and palmistry.

Let’s take a look at the wonderful photos of the event which was held over at Chair Inspirations @ ION Orchard Level 4:

At the end of the event, I took this opportunity to interview some of the birthday guests to ask them some questions. Let’s see what they think about this event!

Birthday guest: Shu Fen

How do you feel about this uSoffa Petit Birthday Event?

Shu Fen: I find this birthday event interesting. I’ve enjoyed myself!

Is the Feng Shui talk a good experience and relevant to you?

Shu Fen: Yes, I do find this Feng Shui talk by Master Khor very helpful and familiar

Do you know about uSoffa Petit before this event?

Shu Fen: I know that Lin Chi Ling is the spokesperson for this uSoffa Petit. Yes, I do know. I understand that uSoffa Petit is good for chit-chatting and having coffee while relaxing on it, just like Lin Chi Ling in the ad!

Do you find the uSoffa Petit comfortable?

Shu Fen: Yeah, the massage for the lower body is very comfortable!

In future would you be interested to attend OSIM events like this again?

Shu Fen: Yes sure, I will come again!

Birthday guest: Linda

What do you think about this uSoffa Petit Birthday Event so far? Are you enjoying yourself?

Linda: I find it very interesting and I do learn something new today. Palmistry is something new to me and I’ve not known anything about palmistry before this event!

You are currently sitting on a uSoffa Petit, what do you think about this massage sofa?

I think it gives you a good massage especially for my legs. Our legs are important because we walk everyday. This massage makes me feel good on my calves, ankles and feet. And I do like it because uSoffa Petit is small and not a huge sofa.

There are so many colours of uSoffa Petit! Which colours do you like best?

I love the uSoffa Petit in Red and Purple!

In future would you be interested to attend OSIM events like this again?

Overall I find this birthday event interesting and helpful! Oh yes I would love to come again, I would love to bring a friend too!

Tips on Sports Massage – Pre-Event Massage

With OSIM Singapore International Triathlon 2010 coming up, engaging sports massage (pre-event massage) could greatly aid in your training process.

The aim of pre-event massage is to:
- Help the body to respond well to the demands brought about by increased activity
- Facilitate maximum performance

When muscles are working, an increased supply of oxygen and nutrients are required as muscular activity requires a great deal of energy. It is essential that warm-up and stretching exercises are performed prior to any form of exercise as the body systems are slowly brought up to a peak level and therefore maximum performance can be obtained. Massage will help to obtain these effects, but under no account must it be used as a substitute for exercise. Massage improves the flexibility and extensibility of muscles, increases blood and nutrient supply to the muscles and help to maintain and increase joint mobility.

Dealing with Stress and Headaches

Can’t fight away your stressfulness and tired mind? This means that your hectic lifestyle may be too much to handle! By lightening your load, it would do you good! Follow these 5 simple steps and you’ll be on your way to a more comfortable and stress-free lifestyle.

• Learn to be organised – Try starting each day with a To-Do List. Start by highlighting those tasks that are urgent. Strike each task off the list and feel satisfied after doing so!
• Manage your time wisely – Everyone has 24 hours a day. Why some people could live each day to the fullest and why some struggle to get by? Time management is the key to a successful life. I find this quote by Michael Althsuler very useful, keep it in mind: “The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.”
• Sleep sufficiently – Sleep replenishes your energy, skin and body! So make sure your sleep is plentiful each day! The best time to sleep is definitely before midnight and get between 7 to 8 hours of sleep!
• Learn to delegate – If your workload is really over-flowing, one good way is to delegate some of your work to your team mates. This way, more work could be done at a quicker pace!
• Let the music heal your mind and body – Who can live without music? Well, definitely not me! Music helps to calm one’s mind and reduces your stress level. Try listening to soothing music for 15 to 20 minutes during your free time, and it would do wonders!

Besides these steps, it is also important to target at specific acupressure points on your head and neck to effectively relieve tension caused by stress and fatigue. Choose OSIM uCrown 2* to give you a better head massage for relaxation and better well-being.

Benefits of OSIM uCrown 2 :

Protect your Heart

Dear Blog readers,

Do you know that the size of a clenched fist is the size of a average human heart? Our heart is one of the most hardworking organ around. It is at the centre of the human cardiovascular system and acts like a pump to circulate blood all over the body!

We need to take good care of our heart to prevent any cardiovascular diseases. Many, like heart disease and stroke could be prevented.

We could take steps to make sure that we progress our lives with a healthy heart. Quitting cigarettes, lowering your cholesterol & blood pressure and exercising to lose weight could be small but essential steps to improve your health quality. If you think high cholesterol and high blood pressure are only for the old, think again! Young people in their 20s and 30s are also at risk. So what’s best for all of us, is to eat well, exercise well and monitor your health regularly!

–

With the same oscillometric techniques used by doctors, you are assured of accurate readings on which to base your health management programme.

• Learn to do things slowly – Well this doesn’t mean that you need to decrease your work productivity! Learn to take things slow in life and when you do that, you would discover that life is a journey, not a destination
• Learn to forgive – Well, as the old saying goes: To forgive is to forget – So have a bigger heart and who knows, you’ll have a healthier heart too!
• Exercise on the go – To be happy, you have to be healthy. Learn to exercise anywhere at anytime. Instead of using the lift at work, try running up the stairs! This way, you’d have no excuses to say that you’ve no time for exercise!

Accupressure and You

Accupressure is an ancient Chinese technique based on the principles of acupuncture, and involves the use of finger pressure (without the needles) on specific points along the body.

Accupressure is a way of accessing and releasing blocked or congested energy centres in the body. The vibrating tip of OSIM iPen stimulates the energy centres to release the blocked energy.

What is blocked energy?

Chinese cultures believe that there are energy centres along the meridian pathways in the body that carry energy called Qi (pronounced as Chi). Through using electrical devices, Western scientists have also proven the existence of these points.

It is believed that this energy creates health and well-being, and disruption to this energy flow causes one to fall ill or feel unwell. Toxic build-up in muscle tissues is one such example of energy blockages. This accumulation of toxins causes muscle stiffness, which in turn puts abnormal pressure on nerves, blood and lymph vessels.

When you use the OSIM iPen to apply accupressure stimulation on the various points on the body, the body’s own recuperative powers are activated. The toxins are diffused and the stimulation removes the energy blocks.

One end of the massager works as a pen, while the other has a gentle vibrating textured head that stimulates.

Simply press the vibrating head of the massager onto your face or any part of your body to release tension and stress!

“I got this pen from a friend & its great for me as i tend to have migraine & headaches sometimes & i can take this out for some time out. – Putting it at your accupressure points helps to enhance the massaging functionality. Even without headaches you can use this for a pick me up perk!”
