The Many Benefit of LASER Tag

4:45 PM 0 Comments A+ a-

If you first tell people that you enjoy playing laser tag, odds are that they will be giving you odd looks. Sure, most of the people who play laser tag are middle-school kids, but that does not mean it is any less enjoyable for adults like you. Now, if you really want people to look at you funny, you could tell them about the numerous benefits that they can get from playing laser tag; you might even make them interested in the process.

Okay, is it true that there are benefits to playing laser tag? Of course, you may just be having too much fun playing that you failed to notice them. To get you started, here are some of the more obvious benefits of playing laser tag with your friends.

You’re getting a good workout
This seems obvious enough. You already know that the game will require you to run all over a wide playing area, climbing ladders and stairs; you will also be carrying around quite a bit of weight. You will be donning a vest that houses all of the sensors and other kinds of hardware, that alone weighs a couple of pounds, add to that the weight of the laser rifle and you will actually feel your muscles straining after playing a couple of rounds.

Each round of laser tag usually lasts 15 minutes each; that is 15 straight minutes of running and dodging enemy fire. Your sweat will come pouring out of every pore after playing just a single round of intensely competitive laser tag, and you will certainly burn more than a few hundred calories after an afternoon’s worth of playing.

You will learn to work as a team
Although you can play a free-for-all game of laser tag (which is actually pretty fun), it is best if you play in teams. When you play in teams, you will learn how to strategize to beat the other players. For instance, there is a capture the base mode of play wherein your goal, besides getting the highest scores at the end of the round, is to capture the base of the enemy teams.

Sure, you could all go attacking the other team’s base at once, but odds are they will be waiting for you and will be picking you off one-by-one. You need to strategize and think of a way you can infiltrate the other team’s base while protecting your own base from their attackers.

You will strengthen the bonds you have with your friends
Although you will be shooting at each other (albeit using fake laser rifles) you and your friends will actually feel closer to each other. This may sound corny, but friendships forged in the battlefield (even if when you are using plastic laser rifles and nobody died) last longer.

By now, you must have convinced your other friends that laser tag is not just for kids (if not then you need to try again, harder this time), so you should head on over to the nearest Lazer Extreme branch and tell them to prepare themselves because they are in for a really great time.

New Beauty Loot: Céleteque® DermoCosmetics — Makeup and Skincare In One Fab Package!

If you know me, you’ll find that I’m always on the hunt for new beauty bargains. I’m especially fond of beauty and skincare products that can multitask, because who has the time to go through each step every single day?

So imagine my glee when I discovered Céleteque®’s DermoCosmetics — a line of makeup that has skincare benefits, such as nourishing and anti-aging!

DermoCosmetics covers all the basics of makeup: the Anti-Aging line has the Dual CC Matte Powder, the Dark Spot Concealer Stick, and the 24-hr Photoready Foundation; while the Nourishing line has the Eyebrow Nourishing Serum, the 24-hour Volumizer Mascara, the Cheek Color Stick, the Matte Lip Stick, and the Blush and Face Contour Kit.

I’m not getting any younger, so what I really wanted to check out was the Anti-Aging line. I first tried out the Dual CC Matte Powder (because I’m always a sucker for BB and CC creams) and I absolutely loved the effect! “CC” stands for “color correcting” and it was exactly what I needed to even out my complexion and cover up blemishes and my freckles. I didn’t even need to apply sunscreen before patting on the powder since it already has SPF 30. Plus, it wasn’t greasy at all. I have combo skin, and the powder was able to keep the oiliness on my T-zone at bay.

The Dual CC Matte Powder (PHP745) comes in three shades: light, natural, and beige. It’s packed with vitamin E to fight free radical damage and aging, and collagen peptide to keep my skin firm. To be honest, this product is my personal fave out of the lot!

If you’re extra OC about covering up your skin imperfections, use the Dark Spot Concealer Stick(PHP595) before applying the powder. You can also use it on your eye area to reduce puffiness. Like the powder, it’s full of antioxidants to nourish, hydrate, and protect your skin from aging and free radicals. I dabbed a bit of the concealer on my hard-to-get-rid-of freckles and those darn age spots, blended the powder, and voila! Smooth, blemish-free skin in an instant!

And don’t worry about the shade of the concealer — it suits all sorts of skin types, as well as any skin tone. Just make sure to use your ring finger when smoothing it on your eye area, since that’s the thinnest part and any unnecessary tugging can cause premature sagging.

These two products are definitely going into my everyday kikay kit. I’ve always liked the brand since it’s known for its clinically proven and hypo-allergenic products, and I’m really glad they came up with a cosmetics line that infuses skincare benefits. The Céleteque® DermoCosmeticsline is truly an awesome beauty discovery!
