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’re pleased with all

Feelings ~ 5/9/23

Isn't life truly fascinating? It's remarkable how a single moment in a person's life can alter what seems predetermined as fate and destiny, yet in our eyes, it's merely a moment of interchangeable paths – that instance when life takes an unexpected yet incredibly beautiful turn. These are the moments that, once entered, leave us forever changed. Perhaps it's destiny gently guiding events towards a perfect ending. There's a yearning for home and belonging, even in places that no longer hold that feeling. Not because of sad events, but because moments evolve into cherished memories, and life has ushered us along a different path. These are the moments that beckon reflection. As you sit in that exact spot, in the same seat, you can't help but wonder how those moments have transformed into memories, sometimes overlooked as life's hustle takes center stage. Isn't it beautiful how one ordinary step on an average day, at the most ordinary time, can become

A writing discovery.

So I've been having difficulties coming up with a blog topic, then I figured why not talk about that? When I initially started writing, I had this idea in my head that the things I write should always have a purpose and be of an excellent caliber, but as time passed, I realized that wasn't always the case. Blogging does not always have to be about discussing things that need to be heard by the majority. To be realistic, it can be as straightforward as writing about your day. Blogging, in my perspective, is essentially open-access journaling.  We express our feelings simply by talking about them, and we receive a response that usually goes something like "I can absolutely empathize with this". There's something restorative about writing, even if it's about the most illogical of subjects.  It's the human connection we feel while discussing significant moments in our lives that might have a completely different impact on someone else depending on where that m
