The most important thing is to accept ourselves as we are and never allow others—especially those who most often lead us astray—to direct our lives. Women are strong beings who overcome many difficulties in life. In the rush of everyday life, we struggle to find scraps of time for ourselves: to take care of our appearance, paint our nails, read a book, or curl up under a warm blanket in front of the television. In many cases, our grand plans end in much the same way. How many of you have woken up after a few hours with the remote control in your hand, while the TV series and household members have disappeared without a trace…

For several years now, I have had the feeling that time is slipping through my fingers and the days are getting shorter

Before I knew it, my children were almost adults, and I began noticing the first more serious signs of aging. I mourned my first gray hair for an entire week, crow’s feet for several days, and then jowls, nasolabial folds, smoker’s lines… I could go on forever. Then so many imperfections accumulated that I could no longer see anything else, and the easiest thing was to pretend they did not exist. How long can this go on? It is worst when summer approaches and advertisements for weight-loss supplements, miracle diets, and swimsuits attack us from every direction. This always affects me, especially psychologically. I promise myself so much: that I will lose weight, start exercising, take care of myself, finally do something about my hair and complexion, and that at the beach I will not look like a walrus but like a mermaid. This imaginary visual marketing most often begins on January 1 as a New Year’s resolution and ends on the first day of vacation.

Not this time! I still have two months until VACATION—that is, 8 weeks to do something about myself—and I will definitely succeed.

I have my vacation Beauty Plan

STEP ONE – what I want to achieve

Define the path you will follow to happiness!

The most important resolution is that I want to be happy. Regardless of my age or private situation—whether I am in a relationship or not, whether I am open to a new relationship—I want to wake up happy, see the world through rose-colored glasses, like myself physically, and remain professionally, physically, and mentally capable.

My resolutions and goals:

  • lose 10 kg;
  • get rid of my belly and love handles;
  • firm my skin and get rid of cellulite and stretch marks;
  • lift the sagging skin on my face, which makes me look perpetually dissatisfied or sad

STEP TWO – measure my resources against my goals

I determine how much time I have each day to use solely for myself. A husband, partner, or grandparents can also help with childcare, especially by encouraging you to take action. The emotional support of those closest to us is very important, and their role transforms: first they support us in our efforts, then they become the proverbial guardians of the refrigerator, followed by personal trainers, until they turn into potential victims of our weaknesses, frustration, and giving up. The most important thing, however, is that we are not alone.

I took my first step by arranging a meeting with Beauty expert Kalina Ben Sira. I presented all my concerns and specified what I wanted to achieve. Surprisingly, my plan turned out to be feasible. Kalina Ben Siraoutlined step by step what I should do to achieve my goal.

STEP THREE – action

1. Changing my eating habits—5 meals a day, with meals consisting of 3 parts raw vegetables + 1 part of the remaining ingredients, such as dairy products, meat, and fruit. I eliminated sugar, potatoes, bread, and alcohol. I began drinking 3 liters of water a day and set reminders on my phone.

2. Exercise—I started with daily walks using poles, alternating them with cycling. Warning: exercise is addictive.

A new habit becomes ingrained after 21 days

Did you promise yourself you would exercise more? After 3 days, have you had enough? Hang in there! After just 3 weeks, most people begin to treat a given task as a habit—the tiring workout provides a healthy boost of endorphins, and if we fail to find time to exercise, we start to miss it. In this way, a new and difficult task becomes a daily but very enjoyable habit. Persevere, and if you stumble along the way—for example, by not following your diet for 1 day or not exercising for 3 days—do not worry! You do not have to start over, you are not hopeless, and you must not give up. Each subsequent time, achieving your goal will be easier.

3. Modern cosmetology, which offers Hi-Tech treatments based on scientific research with proven effectiveness. I used Jet Vibe, Thermologie, Wonder Shape and Zaffiro.

A package of 12 Jet Vibe and Wonder Shape treatments—3–4 times a week.

Jet Vibe is a noninvasive body-contouring treatment using a magnetic field. It effectively strengthens and develops muscles, sculpts the abdomen, shapes the buttocks, and helps slim the figure. Jet Vibe works similarly to an intensive workout.

Wonder Shape combines four effective and proven technologies: Multipolar RF, vacuum with LED light, and ultrasonic cavitation. This comprehensive treatment stimulates blood and lymphatic microcirculation, accelerates the metabolism of fat cells, supports lipolysis, and increases the production of new collagen and elastin fibers.

The effects were visible after just the first 2 treatments. The recommended course is 8 or 16 sessions, depending on the patient’s initial condition. After just six treatments, the circumference is reduced by 10 cm.

A package of Thermologie15 treatments, 3–4 times a week

Thermologie is a relaxing and soothing endermassage using thermal energy, vacuum, and LED light, with elements of reflexology. The treatment involves massaging the entire body with specific movements using ergonomic heads that emit heat and suction the skin (vacuum). In addition, the LED light firms the skin, restoring its proper tension and healthy condition.

STEP FOUR – Summarize your achievements and successes.

Allow yourself to compliment yourself and accept compliments from others. Nothing supports our motivation and willpower more than small rewards from time to time for a job well done. If you have truly managed to complete even the first stage of the task or make it through the first 21 days while sticking to the plan, be sure to thank yourself for the fight and perseverance. Buy yourself new shoes, go to a spa, or visit a restaurant for a delicious dinner with your loved one or a friend—or even start hunting for a new swimsuit!

STEP FIVE – Take care of your face, neck, and décolletage, because these parts of the body require additional skincare treatments after weight loss.

Kalina Ben Sira recommended hydrogen cleansing and a chemical peel once a month, as well as the wonderful Zaffiro treatment.

Zaffiro is a noninvasive skin-rejuvenation method that helped me reduce fine lines, firm and thicken my skin, and improve the contour of my face. I used a package of 3 treatments for the face, neck, and décolletage. The result exceeded my wildest expectations

Modern aesthetic medicine can work wonders—almost instantly eliminating imperfections and restoring a beautiful, natural appearance

I also arranged a consultation with a doctor of aesthetic medicine, and from being a staunch opponent of cosmetic enhancement, I became a fan of modern aesthetic medicine. The doctor tailored the treatments to my age, lifestyle, and budget.

I underwent the following aesthetic medicine treatments:

  • Mesotherapy treatments for the face, neck, and décolletage;
  • PDO lifting and revitalizing threads;
  • Lip contouring;
  • Tissue stimulators;
  • Elimination of bruxism, frown lines, and marionette lines;

STEP SIX – Enjoy your appearance and a successful vacation, but remember the long road of sacrifice you have traveled.

3 good tips for planning your transformation and beauty expenses!

1. Listen to the expert!

If you decide on treatments without a plan and expert advice, the results may not be as spectacular as we dream of, and sometimes treatments performed at inappropriate intervals or in the wrong order may even cancel out one another’s effects. The basis for properly and sensibly planning
treatments is a consultation with a specialist who will select and schedule them so as to achieve the best possible results in the optimal time and enjoy a beautiful appearance for a long time. That is why carefully planned Hi-Tech treatments and aesthetic medicine are truly worth it!

2. Give yourself a gift!

A good way to start planning your treatments sensibly is to choose a gift card or purchase a specific treatment package.

3. Give yourself a gift!

Can’t afford to invest a larger amount in the recommended treatment plan all at once? Spread the expense over 0% medical installments! This is an excellent way to follow the program prescribed by the doctor without excessive strain on your budget or accumulating interest.
