My favorite DIY

   
   Skin is our largest organ and it should be treated well. I have been really good at taking care of my skin, but last week my skin just couldn't cope up resulting in a lot of breakouts! I soon realized it was because of my overdose on chocolates! So I started taking extra care of my skin which meant drinking plenty of water, staying away from sugary treats (which was the hardest to do) and trying some gentle DIYs

I started looking up for effective DIYs and after a long time of searching, I came across one that made me content because it ACTUALLY WORKED. Now just because this mask worked for me doesn't necessarily mean it works for everyone as we all have different skin types!

So this is known as the "cinnamon egg mask" which is usually used for spot treatments, clearing acne and pimples. I'm sure a lot of you have heard about it.
For making this mask all we need is
-cinnamon powder
-egg
yup it's as simple as that!

 STEP ONE
 Crack one egg into a bowl ( I prefer taking the whole egg but if you have oily skin, the whites are great for reducing oil as they help tighten skin and shrink pores)

 Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of cinnamon powder and mix it with the egg until it forms a thick paste.
 ( adding 2 tablespoons of cinnamon gives a thicker consistency) it totally depends on how much you want to use.
 I should  probably warn you, cinnamon can cause stinging sensation but it usually reduces over time! Cinnamon works great as the spice helps fight bacteria.


STEP TWO
Make sure not to exfoliate before applying this mask as it's gonna increase the stinging sensation.
Apply the mask evenly and leave it on till it dries up which takes around 20-25 minutes and wash it off with water. And that's basically it!

I applied this everyday for a week and my pimples started to shrink from the 3rd day itself and reduced the redness of  my pimples! This mask really did help me fight my pimples and I continue to use this once a week as a spot treatment. I actually recommend trying out a test patch first just to be sure! Make sure to moisturize after washing off the face mask to prevent any dryness.
I love trying new face masks in general and I would love to know which face mask work best for you?

Getting to know me!✨

  Hey, this is my very first blog post and the last time I felt this much pressure was probably during my Alevel board exams!   So to begin with I would love to introduce myself, I'm a regular 17year old who wants to stay anonymous for the time being. I'm in my last year of Alevels so that means alot of big changes are coming my way! The thought of graduating actually feels unreal. I still remember the time I used to look at all the seniors graduating and think to myself "it's probably gonna take ages to get there and it looks like so much work" but now here I am graduating in just a few months! Time flies when you're busy worrying about why time isn't flying fast enough haha!  I also love being sorrounded by nature! I can't begin to tell you how many times I've stopped the most important work I'm doing just to stare at fluffy clouds and pretty sunsets!  I feel nature really connects humans to the beautiful big world we live in and sets ...

A "not so inspiring" blog post!

  So I've had some trouble thinking of topics to blog about and I thought why not talk about exactly that. When I first started writing, I had this idea in my head that the posts I write should always have an aim and should always be up to the level but as the days passed I realized it's not always going to be that way.   Blogging shouldn't always have to be focused on talking about topics that need to be heard by the majority. Honestly, sometimes it can be as simple as  "How my day was" or " How I completed a task that I didn't feel like completing". In my opinion, blogging is basically journalling that's open to the public. Don't you think?    We express our emotions by simply talking about them and receive feedback that usually goes something like "I can totally relate to this" which is what motivates me to continue writing! There's something therapeutic about writing, even if it's the most random of topics. I never ...

The right time.

  Back in September, I met my neighbors for the first time, and instantly felt a connection with them! I remember it was a warm Wednesday afternoon when a few ladies from my neighborhood came over at our place for tea.   I had school that morning and still remember how I wasn't too thrilled about meeting them because of the crazy amount of schoolwork I had to complete. Also, the fact that I was sleep deprived didn't help either.   However, I'm glad my neighbors came over because I met 2 girls who're around my age and let's just say we became good friends by the end of the gathering. That was the beginning of our most regular and spontaneous hangouts.   The point of this short story is that good things happen when we least expect it but certainly need the most. We might think that the situation we're facing isn't for the better or maybe isn't happening at the right time but in reality, everything that happens to us happens for a reason and the timi...
