A Spark of Hope

A Spark of Hope - Mazuka21 - Wattpad

Something I've been working on for the past year or so (wow) is a fanfiction, "A Spark of Hope" based on some of the Sonic Archie comics. For those who read the comics, you have seen a couple of few characters that got axed after the reboot, Hope Kintober and Eclipse the Darkling, two characters associated with Shadow.

The story goes...

Eclipse crashes his ship resulting in him amnesiac, however, his friends, the Dark Arms come out unscathed. They try to help Eclipse regain his memory, but they're unsuccessful until they meet Hope Kintober. She takes them in and looks after them until he's fully healed. In the meantime, she helps her new friend build a shuttle to get him back home.

This takes place after Sonic Universe 70; you don't need to read the comics to know what happens. As the story progresses, it'll unveil the necessary information needed to understand what happened before the story and what led to how things are the way they are. So don't feel bad. Cover is drawn by me.

I will put a warning before a chapter if the chapter contains any of the following; death, heavy violence, and kidnapping. Most of these are not explained in full detail but it's still there, if any of these topics make you uncomfortable, you don't need to feel obliged to read it.

Because of the content this contains, this is targeted towards adults/young adults, I don't wanna traumatize any youngins.

One more thing, the first half of it is up the second half will be uploaded when it's finished. Which it almost is. :D

This is the first fanfiction I've ever wrote AND published in public, so this is scary yet exciting to see any feedback. Anyway, check it out and share, have an awesome day!

Dark Underarms/Armpits??

There are many of videos/sites on the internet telling us how to get rid of dark underarms. But do they really work??? 

What causes dark underarms?

Build up of dead skin cells

Shaving (for some people)

Use of some deodorants

Hyper-pigmentation - less likely.

To remove dead skin cells you exfoliate. You can either exfoliate the natural ways such as;

Sugar & Lime: the sugar removes the dead skin and the lime removes that unpleasant scent and can lighten the area. 

Baking soda and water which is always a gentle way to exfoliate.

Orange peel (msg me for more information)

Pumice stone

Or with products that contain lactic acid. Whichever way you chose be sure to do this at least 5-6 times a week. 

Shaving is always a quicker & less painful way but because of it you may have dark armpits. When you shave, you cut the hails off the surface. This gives the appearance that your skin has a dark stain when its really subsurface hair. STOP SHAVING! Instead try waxing professionally or at home (sugar waxing- coming up soon!), or try plucking the area instead. I don't recommend hair remover as sometimes it may cause in growing hairs. 

Use a natural bleaching agent such as:

Potato 

Cucumber

Lemon

For each simply thinly slice each and rub under the arms, leave for 10 - 20 mins and then rinse off. 5-6 times a week.

Also use natural deodorants which may be a little more expensive. These deodorants are determined by what they don't have! (must not contain):

Parabens

PEGs

synthetic ingredients

petrochemicals

Aluminium compounds (once you see aluminium thats a NO)

How about a treatment?

Vinegar?

Mix vinegar with rice flour to form a thick paste and apply under the arms after taking a hot shower. Leave on for 15 - 20 mins and then rinse with warm water. 

Coconut Oil?

Take coconut oil and massage under your arms before bathing for 15- 20 mins. 

Hope this helped. Please note, what may work for one person may not necessarily work for you. If you do get a rash or irritation after trying any of these after one week discontinue use and try something else.

(For those who have not seen results within the first two weeks, remember consistency, don't stop, continue and you will see results.)  

  Dark underarms can be very embarrassing so be sure to take good care of them.
