Weekly Vibe #130

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to Weekly Vibe #130!! Awwwww yes!! I completed my first Vertical Marathon of the year!

This time I was wearing Lottie May's LM Glow tights, in fact I wore 2 pairs, I just felt the need for the support and it was pretty good! I took 20 mins and 33 seconds to climb the 64 storey skyscraper which meant I took about an average 30+ seconds for each level. Awesome experience once again! And right after my race, I attended church and after lunch one of my cellgroup brothers actually like after 3 hours of walking with me, noticed that I was wearing tights and he was actually looking for tights and asked me for recommendation and I immediately pointed to ActivSkin and he will most likely go for the footless A876, although I commented to him that these are not the usual athletic tights but are hosiery, it didn't turn him off as he was looking for functionality and we shall see how we go from there! Potential convert!

Fans of Glamory hosiery will be happy to know that UK Tights is having a 15% off their Glamory line of products, which also includes Glamory For Men! Do note that it is ending by the end of the week!

UK Tights also has a 10% off their Pretty Polly line of hosiery products, PP products priced decent, and not overly expensive and with the additional 10% off you are getting very good deal on them! Do note that offer ends 27th of May!

Well that's all I have for you this week! Have a great week ahead!

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to the 82nd edition of Weekly Vibe! Today(Sunday) I attended the 20th year anniversary's National Vertical Marathon, this time I climbed the One Raffle Place building at the heart of the Central Business District. 

Before the marathon

My target!

After the marathon, totally drenched from my own pespiration!

I once again as usual enlisted the help of ActivSkin's A866 Full support Tights for my marathon. Oh and in fact! It has been the same pair I have been wearing since I took part the first vertical marathon last year, and that's how well they can last, though there is just tiny hole in the feet area, everything is still fine, I'm going to get myself 2 new pairs soon!

This week I also ended my Start course for my Russian language class, now I am able to introduce myself, ask for directions, describe my family members all in Russian! :D! I will be looking forward to the next level of Russian language lessons next month! 

UKTights is offering a special deal on their Silky Textures Thermal Acrylic Tights, don't wait till it is winter to prepare, they are already going at 5.50 GBP and 2nd pair half the price!

That's all I have for you!

Weekly Vibe #56

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to the 56th edition of Weekly Vibe! Firstly I would want to apologise for not posting this on Sunday as I was occupied most of the day and had to attend a wedding too on the same day, so I had to postpone the post to Monday, sorry about that! Anyways lets get on with it!

Firstly I want to thank all of you readers and friends for your support on the comments for the 55th Weekly Vibe on conquering the Swissotel Vertical Marathon and big thanks to Activskin on promoting the 55th Weekly Vibe on their homepage too! I'm truly grateful about that!

I believe most of you have done some decent Black Friday shopping and had a great thanksgiving! Well unfortunately we don't really have that tradition in Singapore and most hosiery retailers have got their Black Friday offers over.. but now Monday for online shopping is the hype now! UKTights and Tightsplease have both Cyber Monday offers! Check them out!

Sunday was also a special day for my friends, who got tied the knot yesterday! I was really glad to be part of it! I wish them a blissful and blessed marriage!

That's all I have for you! Have a great week!

Weekly Vibe #55

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to the 55th edition of LFFM's Weekly Vibe! The biggest highlight this week has to be the the Swissotel Vertical Marathon I did on Sunday! 

It is 73 floors high with 1,334 steps leading up to the top! 

I found out about it from a fellow vertical marathoner when I finished my 2nd vertical marathon and to hear it about its number of floors really scared me at first... a whooping 73 floors! Well for the previous 2 vertical marathons I have done were all just 40 stories high(probably 40 is a little too much for you) When I saw that the registrations were up I was pretty hesitant because I didn't know if I could do 73 stories! But anyways I took the step of faith to go for it.

During the week I caught a flu bug that affected me throughout the week and needless to say it affected me on race day too as I was still coughing but everything else was fine already and I kept having dreams of climbing up that hotel building twice! Anyways I woke up and got ready and went down to the hotel and I noticed there were some guys actually wearing compression legwear for the event and boy was I glad!(and yes I was wearing my A866) at flag off I saw a friend who was photographer snapped a photo of me here

lol that face!

 Climbing up the first 20 or so levels were quite okay and I started feeling the stress of my throat as I started coughing up a little and of course my legs started getting tired by the 40th but I decided to just keep going on regardless and kept counting... 50...60.. 70... 3 more levels! And finally meeting that light at the end of the tunnel! OORA! I have finished!

Went past the marshals and they looped the medal over my neck.. I know YES!! I HAVE MADE IT!!!! 

The view was breathtaking too and I was really really panting and feeling my chest burning because of the coughs. I took a HDR shot of the scenery here

I held the medal on my hand and felt soo happy! And it felt like a online gaming achievement thing of "Achievement Unlocked: Climbed Swissotel's 73 storey building."

I was flagged off with a senior marathoner in his late 50s and I was really glad didn't give up and went up all the way too! And he helped me take a photo!

And that my friends, is how I actually look, top to bottom after losing 12kilos! 

I was really glad that Activskin's tights reall play a part in my journey of weight loss and all of my sporting activities. I am not done with weight loss and vertical marathoning yet! More will be done next year!

If there are any kinds of support legwear you're looking for in sports or marathons, look no further.. because Activskin WILL SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY! :D

That's all I have for you guys this week! Have a great week ahead!

That's all I have for you friends! Have a great weekend and a coming week ahead!

Weekly Vibe #31

Hi Creative and Fashionable people!

Welcome to the 31st edition of Weekly Vibe! I hope you all had a great week! I had a great weekend this week! It started off for me being at one of the World of Tanks event at the Wargaming Command Centre, to my amusement, they actually sent the media team from St Petersburg, Russia to film for the 15th anniversary for Wargaming and I decided to say hi to them in Russian and they moment the ladies saw me, they were all over me!! Well because I was wearing one of the FPS Russia shirts "Professional Russian" and they start snapping photos of me and with me! Hahaha! Oh and obviously of course, I was spotting a Cette Dublin opaque tights which was sent to me by PantyhoseHQ with my shorts of course! Anyways for some funny reason, I was like the object of attention to the Russians as they just kept filming me playing World Of Tanks and some random moments! They even got me to "act" playing World of Tanks and having bunch of "calefares" acting with me "supporting" me whilst playing. Hahaha! What a day Saturday!

Photo with one of the media team people from Wargaming. Isn't she nice?

Sunday was also the day I had to go for the National Vertical Marathon, which I registered a few months back! It was my second time doing a Vertical Marathon, the last time was a 40 storey housing estate and this time it was a 41 storey office building.

It was indeed quite an enduring time I had for about 20 minutes(I guess?) climbing the 41 stories as I didn't have anything to eat at all in the morning and I just had a small cup of 100 Plus before the climb, as compared to the 40 storey climb I did with the housing estate, this one felt like a 50 storey climb as there were more steps for each level. Reaching the finishing line for me was an ecstatic yet contented feeling with very intense panting and pespiration, getting the medal was probably the best feeling I had knowing that I have finally completed it! Really a big thanks to Activskin's A866 full support tights that really helped me perform! You can click here to read a review of the A866. These are indeed awesome sports tights! 

I'm actually looking forward to doing the 73 storey Swissôtel Vertical Marathon in November this year! 

Tights does indeed play a partnership role in most of the things I do, be it for fun or for sports! That's all I have for you all this week!
