Car Detailing Perth, Australia - By AN Detail

We care about the skin on our body as it follows us wherever we go, how about spending some time and money on something that brings us to where we want to, shelters us from the cold, heat and rain, and protects us from dust all whilst we are getting to some place. This baby got bashed pretty badly by all the crazy winds and dust.

With our amateur car cleaning knowledge and stupid car dealers killing off the paint more, we have decided to give Car detailing a go. Not by us, but by a self-taught professional car detailer. (Well he drives a much more expensive car than us and his car is ''spotless'' it scares me.)

We got the Exterior package on this car. 

Here are some before photos.....

Rain drops keep falling on my head....and they don't go zzzzzzzzzzzz

AN-Detail's magic in the making.............................................................
This photo was after the wash and clay barring, the dust is from cause the MAN was at the polishing?
Up close to the vents. Very clean work, No whirls or scratches. 
Those are sparkles....not dust. Can you see the clouds mirrored on the car's butt?
Side view of my perfectly detailed car.
This was the bonnet of the car. Perfectly mirrors with no ugly lines or historical marks of lousy car washes.
It's been a long time...............
Here is a comparison. I don't have to judge.

A car detail not only makes your car looks nice and shiny, it also makes you feel proud that albeit all that weather trashing and dust, you still manage to keep the beauty beautiful. AN has definitely gave us that with his excellent service. My car loves him.

Is it expensive? I would say it is affordable the price about right. Labour works is expensive in Australia, and I have been thru many car wash and polish places and they have done pretty much DAMAGE to my car instead. One even broke stuff in another car. That's cause they are mostly unprofessional and don't give a damn and just hide behind their Giant bosses. This is worth every penny. At least you know he is not going to run away with your CDs or pick up your loose coins.

I asked Andrew why car detailing, and he just said Passion for cars. When you meet him, you will understand why. I rather put it in the hands of someone who loves my car as much as I do then someone who gets 15 an hour slogging and hates his job.

How and Where to get this REBORN look?

The Man has a blog on his past works done and can be found at AN-DETAIL

Prices are competitive and he is a friendly guy.

If you live in Perth and own a car, what are you waiting for? Every car needs some love too.

Asam Laksa in Melbourne Laksa King vs Petaling Street on Lt Bourke St

Craving for Asam Laksa

Usually I would just head straight to Laksa King without a doubt. Consistency and authenticity. So far, Laksa King has been living up to their name. 

Lots of fish, onions, mint leaves, and even the noodles are the right kind.

Asam Laksa - @ Laksa King

One day, whilst at Chinatown, we went to eat at Petaling Street Malaysian Restaurant on Little Bourke. I ordered the Asam Laksa.

The moment it arrived I already knew I ordered something that wasn't their forte.

I did not call the waiter or waitress cause they seem 'TOO BUSY' with 10 out of 35/40 tables. I wanted to just consume and see what I have to endure.

Firstly, the soup tastes like Chicken soup and Har Kou.
There was only a 20cent coin amount of fish which I think was from a can
Why is everything chopped up in such large forms?
Why are you serving me the 'heart' of the onions? Not only did you not cut it properly, you just chucked the whole thing in. Plus, where are the red onions?
The noodle to me tasted like Udon noodle. Maybe I am wrong, but the whole dish just made me lose all my senses.
I probably went thru 15% cause I was too hungry and contrary to popular believe...I do not want people spitting in my food.
The soup is so clear and diluted that you know its just SOUP STOCK!!!



I feel sorry for this restaurant. You have such a great location and a nice ambience. But I will not come back anymore. My husband had your nasi lemak rendang. It was on par but he had flatulence for 4 days. I am not saying its the food, but just coincidentally after it. He never experience such 'tornados' which lasted this long or that strong.

Please I beg, stick to what you can dish up best.




Easecox Diamant - After a month's use.

I've been using the 3 piece garment for exactly a month now. I did not change my diet, exercise or other habits. I maintained that I should

  • eat the same as usual, 
  • consume alcohol, 
  • sleep at weird hours,
  • sit on the chair for hours,
  • forget to go for a jog everyday, 
  • look at my dusty roller-blades every-time I walk past the stairs, 
  • drink coffee every morning, 
  • eat rice almost every day, 
  • failed at the squat challenge after 2 days,
  • winter is near...ive been eating alot of chocolates
and the list above goes on... there is only one thing that I did not do in the past...handwash undergarments!!! I usually just chuck it in the washing machine. I can't be stuffed with handwash.

These are the changes that I have felt
  • No backaches or shoulder aches
  • Sometimes when I 'forget' to wear for 1/2 a day, I would feel a little dizzy when I put it on cause the professionals tell me that its the effect from the tourmaline which increases blood circulation on a person with low blood circulation. The body is trying to adjust. But after a while, it just goes off. ( They tell me that people with high-blood pressure will not be affected, instead help to regulate)
  • I have been a serial constipator since I was young, my first week I actually got annoyed as I was going to the toilet way too often ''once a day''. My Dr. told me that my internals are fine, and that my long keeping of self made gold just takes a lil longer than the general public. Supposedly if I pooped everyday, it is diarrhea. I actually have to readjust my timetable to include 'shitting' these days. This is new to me.
  • Period cramps; surprisingly, I did not have any breast soreness, back aches and cramps. I just had the normal warning signs at my lower abdomen that IT IS COMING SOON!!!
  • This is quite embarassing but; not wearing a bra most of the time will let it free flow. But after a month's of reshaping, it is where it should be and not in the way. I am talking about when I take it off and 'forget' to wear it.
  • My waist has definitely gone smaller
  • My muffin top has reduced
  • My 3rd and 4th breast has reduced 'the fats inbetween breasts and underarms
  • The side of my outer thighs have reduce.
  • Apparently I am less moody according to my husband and brother.
  • I did not bloat before my period came. (Surprising)
  • The lines inbetween your rolls...they are quite permanent if you are always the same size/weight. Due to gravity, breasts will sag, without a bra, it would start to slide downwards and everything starts sitting on one another. With the correct posture and support, u can reduce reddening and flesh vs flesh.
I believe that it is starting internally. Clearing out the toxins that I have kept for years. Regulating my blood circulation which is the most important thing even if you have a supermodel body.

I will save the photos for later...

Easecox Diamant body sculptor or just a fancy tight underwear? The Bra

I have read quite alot of reviews on various types of body wear mainly for body sculpting, hiding unwanted rolls, giving a seamless slender look and so on.

The truth

1. If you are naturally slim - You won't care so much about all this kind of body wear, as you might not need to flatten any belly or hide any thunder thighs. You also probably probably don't have a muffin top and your boobs are not that big that you need more support than a 1cm bra strap thickness kind of bra.

Think about: The bra you wear? Padded? Underwired? Breast and shoulder support?

2. Not slim and not fat - chubby - I am in this category I think. Muffin tops, excess fats in thighs, a slight bulging tummy and some loose ends and bits here and there. I can easily just go out and buy a body control wear and have a flat tummy with a tight butt.

Think about: The effectiveness of wearing body control wear? There is no long lasting effect, its only wear and see. Think about breasts loosing elasticity and the beginning of sagginess. If our bra right? Is your posture as healthy as before? Cellulite?

3. Overweight and have excess fat all over your body - Excess body weight is not only unhealthy but also detrimental to our spine, bones, and overall health. If you research the importance of a healthy spine, you will know how utmost important it is to our daily lives...including our skin. Just google it.

Think about: The lifestyle? Moveability? Health? Body support? Shedding unwanted fats?

Bras
  • Padded bras are not made of breathable compounds.
  • Underwired bras press on our skin and is on an area where our lymphatic vessels are and would restrict its job of flushing out toxins.
  • Bras are mainly a mould that is pre set. In the end everyone will have the same shape of breasts if they wore the same bra. Overtime, the fats will shift to an unnatural position to form to the cup of the bra.
  • A padded and wired bra can cause us to have an increased chance of getting BREAST CANCER due to the body's restricted ability to allow fluids and blood to flow. 
  • Lumps will start appearing because the lymph glands and fluids get stuck. Then comes fibroids and cysts. ( I have a skinny friend who has 3 fibroids in one breast. So don't think if you have small boobs u won't be affected.
  • Padded and wired bras are just too unnatural to the body. It's like wearing a cast on your chest. 
  • Bra straps makes a whole lot of difference to your shoulder and neck. If you get one that is not right, more of less you will have shoulder and neck aches and you have no idea why. You may even start hunching and slouching unknowingly.
I've been thru many types and brands of bras. I am sure many of you have as well. Sometimes we just buy a bra cause we just need a bra. 

Till I found out about this product, I paid no attention to the importance for myself although I have heard and been advised many many times. I love to go braless at home. Sometimes sports bra seems more comfortable but then I know it is like wearing tape. It doesn't jiggle and so on. But it gets hot and I have to keep adjusting my boobs cause they get squished.

Why do I bother about this product?

1. No underwires
2. No padding
3. I saw an instant change in my posture. I was hunching less.
4. Designed according to human anatomy.
5. My breast do not feel moulded like a normal bra would do.
6. 100% cotton and with the very special patented material which is made of tourmaline coating.
7. There are 2 memory alloys at the side of the bra under the armpit areas. This is soft, bendable and does not dig into the skin. It is there to further hold up the un-wired and un-padded bra.
8. After just days of use, I could see the top of the bra filling up. This was because, I always go braless and I very well know my bras are lousy although I spend hundreds on them. Just cause they look pretty. My chest has sunken and everything is going downhill. 
9. The bra assists in guiding the breast fats away from flowing to back or to the under arms...That little bit of meat you can pinch between your armpit and bra strap...it's just unruly.
10. The benefits lies in the elements and energy released by the material that makes the bra. It emits Far-Infrared Rays to penetrated deeper into the skin and to stimulate the cellular metabolism. In layman's term. It increases our metabolic rate and blood circulation. It is very unhealthy to have a bad blood circulation. FIR helps to stimulate the body's repairing duties.
11. It does not restrict movement. Sometimes, our bras get in the way. You don't have to keep adjusting and making sure that its still in the cup. 
12. Bra straps...it is a full cup bra and its straps are position so that it will never slide off. Unless you loosen it beyond your need.
13.I just needed to know that my everyday bra does not cause me more risks of getting cancer or cysts and so on. You don't want to be spending hundreds/thousands a year and increasing the risks. It's just a bit stupid I think.

If you are a sufferer or have gone thru surgery to your breasts...why would you want to harm yourself further?
