Guiness Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Funny thing.................watched Dr. Oz today - realized I need all three of these things..............Chia Seeds to loose weight, Tart Cherry Juice to help with sleep and BB Cream for the wrinkles! Gotta love this getting old business!! Anybody seen any of these items around town?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyHomeSweetHome Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Argh, just lost my post... Chai seeds are a Mexican product. Health food store has them. I buy mine in La Gran Plaza, 3rd floor, near the food court in the direction of Fabricas de Francia. Fresh bing cherries from Washington State, 1lb 13 oz bag was 97 pesos in the tianguis this a.m. not worth juicing. Try melatonin capsules. Melatonina in Spanish. I take 1 of the 2 recommended capsules 1/2 hour before bed and am out. Don't wake up. If i take both, I'm groggy all day, but one does the trick. But not to be taken for more than 3 months. It helps reset your clock. Can't help you on the wrinkles. Stay out of the sun, wear long clothing or sunblock. What the heck is BB cream? Creamed BB's???? p.s. yes, the chai seeds can help, but I'm not skinny yet! Still waiting! haha I guess I should eat them more frequently through out the day so I don't get hungry...problem is they don't take away the cravings...the habit of just wanting to eat cause you're bored or lonely.

CSOKI Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 You can buy chia seeds in the health food store close to the Telmex office in Ajijic. Chia is also beneficial for people who have diabetes. I make agua fresca with chia with a little bit of lemon and some honey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Liana Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Yes, please, what IS BB cream?

eagles100 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 BB creams are short for beauty balms. As per the WebMD website: This versatile skin care/makeup hybrid promises to do the job of five or six other jars and tubes: moisturizer, primer, sunscreen, skin treatment, concealer, and foundation. http://www.webmd.com/beauty/makeup/beauty-balms-bb-creams For melatonin: be careful of the recommended dosage on the bottle. Dr. Oz said that the dosage is too much. Tart cherry juice is also a pain reliever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside101 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 wish melatonin worked for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyHomeSweetHome Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 wish melatonin worked for me I'm so sorry diet and exercise don't help either? I don't use any medication but an Advil for back pain...I only started using melatonin to get to bed earlier since I tend to be a night owl. Supposedly, one can lose weight if they get to bed earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hensley Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Lots of Chia at SuperLake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solajijic Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Chia is packaged locally and sold by a local Ajijic woman. It can be found at many stores locally, El Torito and SL, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ichbinsaege Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I bought a BB cream at the tianguis in manzanillo and noticed recently at the Monday tianguis in Chapala that one of the makeup tables has some. The brand is Profusion. So far it hasn't broken my skin out and has kept the sun at bay, so I am happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
