Mid-Autumn season is near when you see lanterns and mooncakes in shopping malls. It is the season for gatherings with family and friends. Every year, Cheras LeisureMall has an array of activities that centre on cultural and heritage preservation to create fond memories for shoppers.

Come over here to see beautiful lanterns which will be here at Cheras LeisureMall until 15 September 2019.

This resonates with the company’s commitment in fostering a tight-knitted relationship with the community through the organisation of cultural activities.

With the aim of preserving traditional heritages, we have been continuously organising lantern-making competitions since the 1990s.

Lennox Collagen Baking Workshop At ABC Cooking Studio

I was very excited and happy to attend the Lennox Collagen Baking Workshop organized by The Butterfly Project at ABC Cooking Studio. All the beauty bloggers came dressed in beautiful pink color. 

The month of August 2019 is the Lennox Collagen Month and their tagline is "Love Your Skin". There are lots of discounts and crazy sales online and at pharmacies this month. 

Even though we live a hectic lifestyle, we should not forget to take good care of our skin and be healthy and beautiful naturally. 

Collagen is the main structural protein in the extracellular space in the various connective tissues in the body. As I age, my skin is getting dryer and have wrinkles due to stress, exposure to sun light and not eating balanced food. That is the reason why Lennox Collagen strive to produce nutritional supplements of the highest quality to meet health and beauty requirements. Backed by continuous research and development, all of Lennox products are made using natural, organic and carefully selected ingredients that are scientifically proven to be safe and effective. Lennox uses aqueous marine collagen, which is 100% water soluble and has a low molecular weight for better digestibility. Compared to conventional collagen, Lennox collagen has a shorter bond structure that dissolves readily and is absorbed more easily by the body.

Lennox has 5 different collagen products. 

1. Lennox Firm Up+ has whitening essence and can protect skin from UV rays. The addition of CoQ10 and Grape Seed Extract, a strong antioxidant, help protect skin from damaging UV rays that may cause aging.The powder is to be added to the drink right before consuming. The antioxidants we use are in powder form because we know that antioxidants in liquid form are easily oxidized even if they remain sealed and unopened. This is best if consumed at night because that is the best time for absorption by our body. For new starters, it is recommended to take 1 bottle everynight for 10 days and 1 bottle every 2 nights after. It tasted sweet, sour and slightly bitter because of the CoQ10 and Grape Seed Extract.

2. Lennox FirmUp+ Men is specially formulated for men because men have 15%-20% thicker skin than women and drinking health drinks will be more effective than applying skincare products. Fortified with Cactus Extract & Maritime Pine Bark extract, it helps reduce excessive oil secretion and keeps skin feeling hydrated. This is good for men who have oily skin.

3. Lennox FirmUp+ Forte Gold is great for maintaining hydration with Ceramide hold skin cells together, forming a protective layer that plumps the skin and holds moisture. This is suitable for me because it can slow down my aging process. The taste is a little sweet, sour without any bitter taste and I really like it.

4. Lennox FirmUp+ EX is for whitening and hydration. Packed with antioxidants such as sakura essence extract and grape seed extract to fight free radicals, skin is protected from signs of aging. Sakura essence possesses whitening properties that help to lighten uneven skin pigmentation caused by UV rays. Apple stem cells are introduced to renew and repair skin cells to allow skin to be youthful and supple.

5. Lennox Collagen 5000 is made from high quality fish collagen peptide originated from Japan that dissolves readily in any beverage or food. It is in the powder form and is low calorie & easily absorbed by the body. 

Berry Souffle Cheese Baking Session

The beauty bloggers were all very excited when it was time to bake the Berry Souffle Cheese. We were divided into groups of 4 and 5. Each of us were given the recipe and ingredients and were guided step by step on how to bake.

I had a lot of fun mixing the ingredients using the hand mixer.

There was 1 instructor at every table to teach and guide us step by step. The Berry Souffle Cheese was fun and easy to bake. We prepared the Souffle Cheesecake first. While they were in the oven, we made the Berry Cheese Cream and decorated them.

My final baked Berry Souffle Cheese tasted very moist and delicious! Recipe is as attached photo. If you have time, try to bake it too.

Check out my youtube video on my Lennox Collagen Baking Workshop experience.
