Hey !!

quick reminder to not use a hair dryer or a flat or curling iron after spreading oil on your hair.

you will fry it!

dry it first, or let your hair dry naturally after using the oil.

How to avoid Overeating:

before eating fill a cup with water and squeeze half a lemon (or lime) inside. mix it with a spoon and put in the microwave for 30 seconds.

when you finish your plate or when you are done eating something, drink the cup and stay still for a full minute or two. i recommend closing your eyes during this time to sink in what you ate.

this process stops my gluttony. the lemon speeds up your metabolism and the warm liquid helps with the digestion.

Let’s clean some pores?

FAQ. my skin routine:

as soon as waking up: even days rinse only using cold water; odd days rinse after washing with a gentle facial cleanser

apply after oil-free sunscreen 30fps with a FACE TOWEL (do not use that towel for other purposes rather than drying recently cleaned face)

for the rest of the day: drink water and avoid touching face (with hand or any object)

arriving home, with a cotton ball clean face with micellar water just until shower

when showering, clean face with a stronger facial soap, since pores are dilated (circular and soft motions)

getting out of the shower, rinse face with cold water

dry face and apply gentle overnight-moisturizer to avoid dryness and irritation

bed time! with a clean pillowcase

thats pretty much it, not to mention 30min face mask once a week (usually on saturday) and also esfoliate face once a week (do it on a day you won’t be going outside)

However,

Remember, not all skins work or correspond the same, this guide is what works for me and helps keeping that acne away. So adapt anything that fits best for you!

take care :)

how to drink ya water! 💦

okay so I know y'all always hear everybody talking about “DRINK WATER!” but not everybody really likes water, in fact, I actually hated water when I first started to make an effort to drink more. Soooo, I decided to give y'all some ways to spice up your water to make sure you get at least 64 oz. a day. Some can add benefits to your water and some are just for taste and some for both. 👌🏾

1. Fruit Infused 🍉🍒🍋 fruit infused water can have a lot of benefits depending on what fruit you use but usually my main reason to drink fruit water is because of taste. A few fruits I like are: - lemon - watermelon - raspberry - cucumber - coconut

2. Stay Fresh 🌿🍃 add fresh herbs: - basil - lavender - mint - rosemary

3. Make Tea 🍵☕️ making tea is my favorite way to jazz up my water. try to stay away from teas with a lot of caffeine like black or oolong. instead go for green, white, or herbal teas. also try to keep it unsweetened but if that’s not possible use a natural sweetener like honey, stevia, or agave nectar (I suggest honey). A few teas I like are: - Rituals Orange Jasmine Green Tea - Bigelow Green Tea - Celestial Sleepytime Vanilla Herbal Tea - almost any herbal tea

4. Make it HOT! 🔥🌶 try adding a spice to you water. I like cinnamon water or cinnamon tea. Some benefits you receive from it are reducing your waste line and reducing cravings. other spices you could probably use are: - ginger - turmeric - cayenne

5. Get Juicy 💦😏 (I really wanted to write that 😂) try adding some type of juice likeee: - lemon juice - cranberry juice - apple cider vinegar

6. Honey Water 🍯🐝 okay so this is best just with warm water in the morning but personally I’ve had it just like throughout the day but I don’t know if that hurts anything. It’s great for a sore throat!

7. Rose Water 🌹❣ so this one is basically just if you’re feeling fancy. I actually haven’t tried this before but I’m sure it’s great!

Let’s talk about: Honey!

Honey is rich in vitamins C and B and works as a temporary replacement for sugar in diets and it is also used in medicine, but that’s not my field to opine.

however, honey, as a beauty product, can be used to

Exfoliate skin and lips, mixing it with powder coffee

Treat split ends of hair, by spreading it with the help of olive oil (wash after 10 minutes)

Hydrate skin, by spreading across face or body, mixed with either coconut oil or camomile tea (washing after 15 minutes)

Lighten blond and redhead hair, by spreading it with lemon (wash after 30 minutes)

If you tried any of these let me know!

Things I do:

Inside my phone case, I carry a small sheet of paper with some things I cannot forget.

It is a little silly, but trust me, carrying one helps a lot!

make up your list with your own preferences!

Let’s talk about: Sunglasses!

Girls and boys, never forget to bring along your sunglasses whenever going outside.

The weather matters little. If the day looks sunny or cloudy or rainy or snowy the sunlight will still shine bright above your eyes and skin.

And of course everyone knows - or should know - that sunlight speeds up aging, leaving you wrinkly and looking a few years more than you should.

If you by any chance have headaches when outside, then it is your body giving out signs that you need to cover up those eyes from all that brightness.

Worked out for me!

Though if the pain carries on please see a doc!

The sooner you start using sunglasses, the more you’ll thank me later.

Hair Care

I tried out this new technique to hydrate hair and I can honestly admit it is amazing.

It eliminates frizz, strengthens strands, straightens curls and leaves your hair shiny and incredibly soft, trust me.

All you need is:

200ml of Coconut Milk

Half a Lemon (or half a lime)

1 tablespoon of coconut oil

You put all the ingredients in a bowl, heat them up in the microwave for 30 seconds and mix them well.

With damp hair, spread the mix on your hair making sure it covers completely every single lock of hair. Leave it on for 40 minutes to a full hour. It’s best if you have a shower cap to put on because the content drips from your hair and it’s annoying.

When the time is over wash your hair normally with shampoo and conditioner and you can either let it dry naturally or blow dry it.

I’ve done this process three times already and I love it, I’m sure you’ll feel the difference as well.

Motivational Thread

if you feel like modifying something, may it be humongous or little, it has to be proudly accomplished by yourself and no one else. you cannot dream big and remain motionless, so if there is a wish hidden deep in your heart that you desire to come true, move your body and wake up your mind! be an inspiration to others.

grip the wheel of your own life and make things happen.
