I HAD MY COLON HYDROTHERAPY!!!

Filed under: BEAUTY, FOOD, HEALTH, PERSONAL — by noracassandra @ 5:04 pm

So I did it!!! I had it done on Friday… I mean the colon hydrotherapy or the colon cleans!

It wasn’t the most pleasant experience, but I have to admit it wasn’t bad! The unpleasant part in it is the feeling that you need to go to the toilet so bad but you can’t get up! As the have a thin small tube in your rectum and that is not too bad as it’s so thin and you just feel something so small going in but it’s not as bad as I expected!!! :P

After that the water flow starts… it’s quite warm so it’s quite comfortable, till… Till the feeling starts that you really need to run to the toilet… but of course you can’t! :P

My therapist explained that a lot of shit came out… shit that are at least few years old… it’s true the words I feel like shit before doing the cleansing… as you are full of years of shit… and I really mean it years of shit!!!

As I found out the walls of large intestines hold a quite big part of the shit that pass through it around the years… I really mean exactly what I’m saying here!!! So all the shit hanging and pilling up on the walls makes the intestine’s muscles hard to work… So by time you start having digestion problems and toilet problems… your shit won’t move as fast as it should in the intestines which will cause it to dry up which makes it hard to move and get out… and the water that should have been inside it vibrate and takes the way it came in from… mouth way… so bad breath also will be unbearable!

In 3 days… I do feel less blotted, but she (the therapist) said it could be my small intestines which are bigger problem… but I have to say bad breath is gone! And I do feel better… and going to toilet is not a nightmare anymore! :D

So I would advice this therapy to all… and regularly… as in at least once every couple of years!

Oh and an ex-friend once had to write her thesis about this therapy… so she made all researches and found a study done on a woman over 70 and never had the colon hydrotherapy done… so they did it for her to see what they can find… they found traces of medicine she had to take for little time once in her life time… before her 20s… so imagine if you are 30 years like I am… what are the stuff you stuffed your large intestines walls through those years!!! ;)

THERE MIGHT BE A COLON HYDROTHERAPY COMING MY WAY!

Filed under: CYPRUS, FINLAND, FOOD, FRIENDS, HEALTH, PERSONAL — by noracassandra @ 4:07 pm

So I need a colon wash or Colon hydrotherapy… you ask uncle Wiki about details!

I have had a blotted stomach for the last one and half year or more… I have done every diet in the book… I have been even medicated and got a camera shaved into my stomach through my throat! And nothing… I have been on detox diets so nothing that would cause the blotting was eaten for over 2 weeks… with no use… I mean I feel I have eaten a horse when I wake up in the morning… knowing I do not eat after 6pm… and when I have thought maybe it’s because I sleep on empty stomach I still got the same feeling next morning…

So I found out about the colon cleansing or wash from an ex-friend… and was confirmed by a great friend that was visiting me in Christmas time! So I went looking for in Cyprus found the closest one in Larnaca… will be giving them a call tomorrow and see where it goes from there!

In Finland and in Sweden it cost about €100-€200… so I hope nothing more than that here in Cyprus! I will be very mad if it did cost more!!!

Pray for me people! :-D

Holidays in Finland… Well good things… I mean amazing stuff… Emmi keeps making me happier everyday for being her friend… my mum look amazing after loosing the extra kilos she had on when I saw her last… so many friends and family to see…

So I arrived on the 13th… saw my mum, out of the door with Emmi for the evening as we went to a lovely Moroccan restaurant… Fez the name if I remember right… beautiful food, service and place!!! :D

Next day… missed my F1 :( … as I had to joined friends for lunch and bowling… in this new place called flamingo… I was impressed!! Well I don’t think I would have been the most excited one seeing Räikköenen loosing more points as I’m enjoying my time in Finland… spent the end of the evening with my mum…

Then came the week… much more to continue later as I have to run again to join Emmi for a movie, dinner and nightclubbing!!! :D

Kisses to all…

This is why I love Easter in

Every one is so happy, full of the Easter spirit, dancing, singing, playing (even the Priests), the damn good food, free wine and beer and of course the beautiful green spring days….

EASTER SUNDAY… ANOTHER LONG DAY…

Filed under: BIKES, CYPRUS, FOOD, HOLIDAYS, PERSONAL — by noracassandra @ 10:32 pm

Today…

9:00am: woke up…

2007-44.jpg

9:30am: eat my Easter breakfast (Flawnes & Eggs) and watch my SWEET ICE MAN get the third position :( then interviewed:

Q: Kimi, you must be very happy the way the weekend has gone for you, to be on the podium for the second successive race.

KR: Yeah, of course I’m happy to get some points but a bit disappointed how the race ended up. The whole weekend was quite difficult but I think we needed to compromise too many things and we lost too much speed because of those things, but it was one of those weekends where we needed to do what was most important and try to get as many points as we could. We just didn’t have enough speed today and couldn’t do much more.

Q: Well, you had a terrific spectator position for that battle between Lewis and your team mate Felipe Massa. Talk us through that from your point of view; you nearly passed Felipe. Well, you did pass Felipe eventually.

KR: Yeah, in the end when he made a mistake but unfortunately I didn’t have enough speed in a straight line to try to challenge either of them when I got behind Lewis. I got close to him but I didn’t have as much speed as Felipe so he could always challenge him but I was not able to do that. I always tried to get close to them because I knew that they would have a fight and I thought that maybe I could get passed one of them, and in the end it worked out but unfortunately I didn’t get past Lewis. But I think we did the best we could and at least we scored important points, so we need to make everything 100 percent right at the next race.

Q: It looked like your car was much more competitive in the closing stint than the middle stint.

KR: Yeah, it wasn’t difficult to drive but it was just not fast enough. I think we know the reasons why we were not quick in this race, but unfortunately, as I said, we were in a position where we couldn’t do anything else. Hopefully we can turn the tables in the next race and fight for a win again.

11:00am-2:00pm: checking what’s new on the net…3:00pm: drove my husband to work…

3:20pm: go for a long walk on a beautiful sunny spring day with my daughter… 

08042007295.jpg

3:30pm: I fell in love all over again with the Z1000… 

08042007289.jpg

3:45pm: I saw another Z1000 and fell even deeper… 

08042007290.jpg

4:00pm: I got to the harbor and saw the fishing boats and nets, reminded me of old
Kuwait…

4:10pm: saw the beach and it’s ready for tourists… oh GOD a long summer is coming…

4:30pm: Stelios (from TO STELIOS WITH LOVE!!) calls and asks me if I’ll go to eat with him…

5:00pm: we eat and I end up feeding my cloths as usual with me!! :D

5:30pm: an old friend from
Egypt passes in the restaurant and orders to eat… we had a nice talk!!!

2007-63.jpg  2007-57.jpg

6:30pm: I go to my mother-in-law’s and we make some Finnish doughnuts… (don’t ask me for the recipe)!!! 

2007-65.jpg

7:30pm: we have coffee and enjoy the doughnuts… they were so GOOD!!! :D

9:30pm: I get back home…

10:00pm: start working on my blog…

1:00am: I’m still here… ;)

HOLY SATURDAY…GOOD LONG DAY…

Filed under: CYPRUS, FOOD, HOLIDAYS, PERSONAL, PLEASURES — by noracassandra @ 9:02 pm

So this is what we did yesterday: 

8:00am: woke up with the church bells ringing…

8:30am: got out of bed!

8:45am watched the F1 qualification…

10:00am-2:00pm: crying about how horrible the weather is on a Holy Saturday…

3:00pm: drove my husband to work and listened to Nabil Shu3el in the car to cheer me up!

4:00-5:00pm fixed the clothes I was going to wear for the night and had my shower…

5:30pm: went to my neighbors to fix their hairs…

7:30pm: came home and made my daughter have a shower and fixed my heir…

8:30pm: I was ready and got my little girl ready…

9:00pm: we left home (found the sky clear and beautiful) and forgot to put food to our sweet cat…

9:30pm: we were in my husband’s work place…

2007-107.jpg

10:00pm: went to see the big fire they put on next to the church every Holy Saturday…

10:30pm: went to have a dry martini with my mother in law and her brother, when I remembered my daughter hasn’t eaten since 2pm and needed some food… 

2007-23.jpg

11:00pm: all went to church (but outside) for the celebration of the Resurrection of Christ, of course with our unlighted candles…

11:55am: the priest takes light from the vigil light and gives it to the faithful, who are holding candles (us)…

2007-34.jpg

12:00am: the priest sings: “Come ye and receive light from the unwinding light, and. glorify Christ, who arose from the dead”, and all the people join him in singing this hymn again and again. From this moment, every Christian holds the Easter candle as a symbol of his vivid, deep faith in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ as Savior.

2007-37.jpg

12:10am: “Christ has Risen from the dead, by death trampling upon Death, and has bestowed life upon those in the tombs”. Said beautifully by the priest… and fire works starts lightning the sky…

2007-109.jpg

12:30am: back in my father-in-law’s restaurant where we break the fast by having EASTER SOUP – MAYIRITSA… I don’t like it so I just have Kleftiko… 

2:00am leave to go back home after a long night…

2:30am: I was in bed and didn’t even bother to take my make up off!!!

That was it for my Holy Saturday!!! Good Long Day!! :D
