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?

Life as we know it.

 The term YOLO sounds so simple yet so particularly deep. Sure, we live only once but we also experience each day once which sounds bizarre considering we live every day in the same pattern.  Every day that we live, every minute that passes by never comes back almost like we’ll never relive today again even if tomorrow feels the same!   This makes me wonder how a small improvement to a 24 hour day can change the way we live it. I sometimes find myself pondering life. How it’s the perfect balance of consistency and inconsistency, how one decision made today can completely alter the route of your life the next day. It’s the perception of realizing that there are so many people in this world who we’ll never know, who will never have any impact on us or whose life we’ll never be a part of.   It’s the notion that no matter how slow or fast time flies, it’s always somehow moving forward and never stationary. It’s the awareness that happiness can be attained if we’r...

Stop trying to reach other people’s expectations.

  I consider myself to be an observant person and quite recently I started noticing how some people put in so much effort trying to please others that they often forget who they are in the process.   I’ve had a few friendships in the past where I used to do everything to keep that person in my life, to the point where I’d stop caring about my own feelings and some people took that as an opportunity to mold me into the person they wanted me to be. Granted, I was a kid back then...still am but I never thought it would actually have an effect on me until now.   It’s necessary to put in your effort to make friendships work but honestly, if you don’t see those efforts being reciprocated and appreciated, then it’s not long before everything falls apart.   I have a friend who recently had a fall out with someone she considered her best friend. And initially, everything felt okay but as the years passed she began to realize how it was always her constant efforts that ...

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 ...
