			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.gmanews.tv/story/184622/9-beauty-products-banned-for-containing-mercury" target="_blank">9 Chinese beauty products</a> are found to be laced with mercury that&#8217;s why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned the Chinese-made products. FDA said that thse products contain the heavy metal mercury beyond the allowable limit of one part per million.</p>
<p>Below is the list of whitening creams/face creams included in the ban:</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img title="Jiao Li creams" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/badudetz/JiaoLi.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="256" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Jiao Li creams</p></div>
<p><span id="more-81"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>* Jiaoli Huichusu Whitening Speckles Removal Cream<br />
* Xin Jiao Li 7-Days Specific Eliminating Freckle Cream<br />
* Jiao Li 10-Days Eliminating Freckle Day &amp; Night Set<br />
* Jiao Li 7-Days Eliminating Freckle AB Set<br />
* Jiao Liang Miraculous Cream<br />
* Xin Jiao Liang 7-Days Miracle Package for Spots Refining<br />
* Jiao Mei Miraculous Cream<br />
* Jiao Yan Specific Miraculous Cream<br />
* Jiao Li Extra Pearl Facial Cream</p></blockquote>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 259px"><img title="Zhen de Shou slimming capsules" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/badudetz/zhendesou.jpg" alt="" width="249" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Zhen de Shou slimming capsules</p></div>
<p>Meanwhile, a popular slimming tablets/capsules also from China is included in the ban because it contains steroids. These are: Zhen de Shou Fat Loss Capsule and Zhen de Shou Fat Loss Tea. (I read the news over and over again to double check if <a href="http://www.healthandbeautygeek.com/leisure-18-slimming-coffee-a-review/" target="_blank">Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee</a> is included, but it&#8217;s not&#8230;)</p>
<p>Geez, China manufacturers should check with the safety standards first, they are one of the biggest exporters of all sorts of products and yet their products can&#8217;t meet the standards.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee is one slimming beverage that piqued my curiosity thus made me buy a box to try it out. Since college, I veered away from slimming teas and the likes because the ones I&#8217;ve tried before just made me do frequent trips to the comfort room and triggered my hyperacidity.</p>
<p>Last year, I really gained weight and most of the bulges concentrated on my hips, butt and thigh. I wasn&#8217;t able to exercise unlike before when I got to participate on <a href="http://www.badudets.com/dzmms-takbo-para-sa-kalikasan-year-10/" target="_blank">running events</a>. My friend, Hazel of <a href="http://veruca.multiply.com/" target="_blank">Veruca</a>, who&#8217;s also my supplier of <a href="http://www.healthandbeautygeek.com/cyleina-organic-soaps-a-review/" target="_blank">Cyleina soaps</a>, only has positive reviews about Leisure 18 that&#8217;s why I got interested. Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee won&#8217;t give you undesirable side effects like diarrhea, palpitations and dizziness. I bought one box from her for Php 220 which contains 18 sachets, good for 18 days.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><img title="Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee box" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/badudetz/leisure-18-2.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="351" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee box</p></div>
<p><span id="more-69"></span></p>
<p>The coffee tastes bland, and honestly I can&#8217;t consume it alone so I added more Nescafe 3-in-1 for flavor and color.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><img title="Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee sachet" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/badudetz/leisure-18-sachet.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="339" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee sachet</p></div>
<p>As per the instruction, I take it before breakfast, or in my case, before going to work because I get to have my brunch when I arrive at the office. I already experienced the effect on the first day, I lost my appetite which is very very rare, but I still forced to eat my brunch but didn&#8217;t finish the whole serving since I felt full unexpectedly. Throughout the day, I don&#8217;t have any food cravings even when it&#8217;s already snack time. I just grabbed some crackers and soda just so I can eat something but I really don&#8217;t feel hungry the rest of the day. What I really love about it is that I completely forgot about my chocolates addiction, even when faced with chocolates and junk foods at the grocery, nothing seem to tickle my taste buds.</p>
<p>I feel really thirsty the whole day though, but I think it&#8217;s also good because I get to increase my water intake. I think the coffee has high caffeine content because there are some nights that I&#8217;m still awake at 3 am, not good for students and people who must get up early.</p>
<p>As for other side effects, I did experience dizziness and slight palpitations on my first week. But I guess it&#8217;s manageable and continued drinking this for 7 straight days. Unfortunately, I got sick the week after my &#8220;slimming coffee week&#8221; so I decided to stop drinking it until I get well. The second &#8220;slimming coffee week&#8221; was a better experience for me because no palpitations and dizziness this time. Of course, different strokes for different folks right? So if you want to know about other experiences of Leisure 18 users, there&#8217;s a thread at <a href="http://www.femalenetwork.com/girltalk/index.php/topic,209435.0/topicseen.html" target="_blank">Girltalk forum</a> where girls share their own experiences.</p>
<p>Did I lose weight? <strong>YES!</strong> After only consuming 7 sachets, Jeff noticed my uber-huge-thighs got smaller. I became confident wearing leggings too! My pants got a little looser and my tummy got smaller. I still have few sachets left because I&#8217;m not drinking it for 18 straight days. I&#8217;m just taking it weekly, then the week after that. I still get results so I&#8217;m satisfied and comfortable with this routine.</p>
