Song of the day! Bones- Ginny Blackmore.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye5fxkj0CQs

Who doesn't want to be loved?
To have a person who accepts and adores you, just the way you are.
This cruel world can be a very lonely and cold place sometimes and nothing beats the feeling of knowing that there is someone who will never leave your side.

A girl has a lot of insecurities,
Am I beautiful?
Am I good enough to be loved?
What if he looses interest in me one day and leaves? What am I gonna do then?
And the list goes on... ...

And then your guy treats you like shit!

This song is very beautiful. All you girls sharing some insecurities should listen to this once.

"I wish that you could see
Who I really am.
It sucks being a woman,
In love with an unkind man,
Cause baby I would give you the world,
In fact, I already do.
And how do you repay that?
Talk to me like I'm just a regular tramp tryna screw you
Over, do you even have a clue
What I gave up just to be here,
To serve your ass with steak and beer?

Baby that's love
Baby that's real
And all I've ever wanted was for your damn arms
To wrap themselves around me and say

Hey, girl you're the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me
Hey girl you're the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me

I'm not tryna play the victim
Don't wanna go head to head
But boy I shouldn't have to stand in the mirror
Convincing myself I'm fair
Baby that's your job to do
Baby you should think I'm beautiful
Why you wanna watch the set
When I'm layin' right next to you in our own room
I feel like you don't even know I'm there
But I put a brush through my hair for you
Run my fingertips over your back real smooth

Cause boy I need love
I don't get enough
And all I've ever wanted was for your damn arms
To put themselves around me and say

Hey, girl you're the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me
Hey girl you're the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me

I look you dead in the eye and say I love you
In the eye and say I want you
In the eye and say this is what I'm asking for
How can you sit and stare at the wall
Do you even like me at all?
Start talking 'bout makin' it better
It ain't that complicated
I just wanna feel your arms around me, babe
Please say...

Girl you're the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me
Hey girl you're the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me

Please, please baby
It's a woman's dream
.."

Homemade body scrub! For all skin types. (with pictures)

We often scrub our face, but pay very little or no attention to our body.
Just like our face it is important to scrub away the dead skin cells of our body as well.

When we scrub our body, it removes all the dead skin cells that block the new skin cells to reach the surface of our skin. This is the reason why it is so important to scrub your body at least once a week.
Scrubbing also allows skin to absorb the products that you use, better.

Now that we know why scrubbing is so important, here are two different recipes to make your own body scrub with the ingredients easily available in your kitchen.

The olive oil and honey scrub:
This scrub is for people who suffer from dry skin.
This scrub will provide nourishment to your skin, along with scrubbing away the unwanted dead skin cells gently.

Things you will need to make the scrub:
• 2 table spoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of honey, and
• 5-6 spoons of granulated sugar.

Image

How to make the scrub:
• In a mixing bowl add two table spoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Image

• Now add honey to this, you can alter the ratio of honey and oil according to your own liking.

Image

Image
• At last add granulated sugar to this mixture until it forms a thick paste.

Image

Image

Mix well. 

Image

Image

This is how it looks:

Image

You can easily make a large batch by multiplying the amount and store it in a container. This will stay good to use for a complete month.

This is my favorite scrub of all times. 
Remember that the olive oil and the honey together can be extremely moisturizing, So if you have normal or oily skin use lemon instead of olive oil.
I personally use lemon juice.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................
The second recipe is a great way to use some unused creams and moisturizers that are just lying around your home to make amazing homemade body scrub.

The Body lotion scrub:

For this scrub you can use any cream or body lotion or moisturizer that you don’t use or don’t mind making a body scrub out of it.

Things you will need to make the scrub:
• Any moisturizer or cream or lotion of your choice, and
• Enough Sea salt to make a thick paste.

How to make the scrub:
• Take one-fourth cup of lotion, or according to your requirement.

Image

Image
• Then add enough sea salt to make a thick paste like consistency and mix well.

Image

Image
As easy as this scrub looks, it is a good way to empty those unused bottles and provide extra nourishment to the body.

The best thing about this scrub is that if your moisturizer or lotion has a nice fragrance, you will be smelling good all day long. :)
Scrub your body every week or once a fortnight to keep it healthy and radiant!
And the best thing about this scrubs are that they are inexpensive.
Have fun scrubbing!

Until next time! :)

Aspirin/Disprin mask for: Clear Skin, Clean Pores, Curing Acne & Much More! (With pictures)

When I first got to know that aspirin and disprin, apart from being consumed internally can also be used on The Face, I have to admit that I did not believe it at all.
I spent weeks researching whether this was for real or not!
After spending several days and nights reading about the safety of this mask, I finally decided to give it a try.
Before moving on how to make the mask, let me tell you why this thing works.

How does aspirin or disprin cure acne?
Aspirin and Disprin both consist of Salicylic acid.
Salicylic acid unclogs pores and increases cell turnover.
It penetrates deep inside pores and exfoliates them and unclogs the residue that causes acne.
And even if you don’t have acne, this will clean the pores to its very end.

Remember:
When you go to buy aspirin make sure that it is the uncoated one, because coated one won’t work.
The reason is that coated aspirin has a layer over it, that does not dissolve.
This is a coated aspirin:

Image

The colour varies depending on each company.
I dissolved this one in water for 15 minutes, and the skin became soft enough to peel off:

Image

Image

LOL! i salvaged the pill.

Once, the skin is soft it's easy to peel it off.

Image

Image

After peeling the skin off.
Now this is the uncoated aspirin, if you want you can use this as well, but uncoated one is easily available as well.

Also, remember that there are different mgs of aspirin available in the market, if you have sensitive skin start with the lowest one available.

Method of preparation of the mask:

You Need:
• 2-3 tablets of aspirin or disprin, depending on the area that you want to apply this to.

Image

Disprin.

Image

Aspirin.

• A few drops of honey
• A few drops of clean water.
• A plate/bowl.

How to make this mask:
• Place the tablets in the plate or palm, like so:

Image

OR

Image
• Now, add a few drops of water to it

Image
• I am using disprin here because I couldn't find aspirin.
• Once, it soaks all the water and starts rising up. This is how it looks:

Image

Image

add few drops of honey.

Image

Image
• Mix well and apply on the entire face or just a patch, whatever you want.
• Once it dries, wash off with Luke warm water.
• Apply moisturizer, and you are done.

Image

Some Important points to keep in mind:
• Avoid going out in the sun after using this mask, as your skin will be more sensitive. The best time to use this mask is in the evening or at night.
• If you have sensitive skin, use it on a simple patch instead of the entire face to check out if this is okay for you.
• Use as low mg of aspirin as possible, the first time.
• Remember the effect of the mask is entirely on how strong the tablet is i.e. the stronger the aspirin the quick the results.
• This mask can be very drying, that is why we have added honey to it, so make sure that you don’t overdo this.
• Do not use this more than once or twice a week.

If you still have any questions, just leave them in the comments down below.

I hope you give this a try and let me know the results.
Thank you for reading.

Ciao! :)

NEW TONY MOLY SHOP OPENED IN TOWN, MY RANDOM POST

NEW TONY MOLY SHOP OPENED IN TOWN, My random post


by: http://genibelleza.blogspot.in

Recently, there's a new Tony Moly shop opened in Phnom Penh and it has a 30% discount.So I got my self something like a backstage gel eyeliner,cat wink primer,party lover cake eyebrow,tangerine whitening hand cream and 2 free foam cleanser samples.The eyeliner is brown and it is waterproof. I chose brown because I have only one brown pencil eyeliner. The waterproof property is great, I tried rubbing it with water, but it didn't fade much.









Please don't mind my nails !!











the visible lines are the ones that i tried at home to show you guys how it really looks like and the faded lines are the ones that at tried at the shop. it is faded because i washed my hands with soap.

I've never had eyebrow set before that's why I think I should buy one. Usually I use my Face Shop matt brown eyeshadow or my eyebrow pencils. It comes in 2 color ,light brown and dark brown, plus I love the case ,it is just cool and cute at the same time.









Party Lover Cake Eyebrow

The last one is hand cream. The package is orange sharp just like the name. It comes in 2 smell, the other one is peach,of course with peach sharp package. The smell and texture are exactly like my misha mango body butter that I got from Japan.









Tangerine Whitening Hand Cream










Tangerine Whitening Hand Cream

The primer becomes powdery as I apply on my face. I will do review on this primer and the other one I'm using right now ( from the Face Shop).

DIY: Detan home remedy!

Some people look amazing with tan, some don't.

I, definitely am in the don't list.

Being born with sensitive skin, I get tanned very easily. :(

 

If you have the similar problem, or want to get rid of the bad tan use this simple remedy.

 

Things you will need;

  • 1 Tomato.

Image

  • Lemon juice- 2 

Method:

  • Squeeze out all the pulp from the tomato.
  • Add two spoons of lemon juice in it. 
  • If the tomato is big, add 3-4 spoons of lemon juice.
  • Apply it on your face and wash off after 10 minutes with cold water.

 

Tips:

  • The amount of lemon juice you add is not fixed, add according to your skin's preference.
  • If your skin is sensitive add less, if you skin is oily add at least two spoons.
  • If you are using this in the afternoon, apply sunscreen as the lemon juice has when comes in contact with sun's harmful rays will harm your skin and the skin will become more prone to tanning.

Use this for 20 days, and you will notice a reduction in the tan.

Ta-da! :) 

 

 

Home made face pack for blemishes and acne scars.

As much as acne lowers one's self-esteem, so does blemishes and acne scars.

One moment you are happy that the monstrous zit is gone but as soon as you see the scar left behind all your happiness fades away.

Everybody wants clear and even skin, but with those stubborn acne scars it becomes difficult to achieve such skin.

Acne scars appear when a spot doesn't heal properly, for example: when you pop up a zit.

This pack will help those stubborn scars and blemishes fade away with time.

 

Things you will need:

  • Bowl and a spoon

Image

 

  • Sandalwood powder

Image

  • Rosewater.
  • Any clean brush to apply the mask (very, very optional)

Image

 

Method:

  • Take 1 to 1 & a 1/2 spoon of sandalwood powder in a clean bowl and add one spoon full of rose water in it.
  • Add more rose water until the mixture forms a medium consistency paste.
  • Apply this all over your face and neck.
  • Wash off after the pack starts drying, with cold water.

 

Sandalwood is very soothing and cooling on the face. 

Rose water is an natural toner, hence it will help clean the pores of your skin well.

Together this mixture will calm the skin and the scars and help them heal.

Hope you give this a try.

 

Until next time. :)

Home made face mask to get rid of acne! (It works)

Many products claim to give you clean face and help you get rid of acne, but they don't,and that is heart-breaking.

Few days back while I was reading, I found this face mask recipe that people swear by, so I thought to share it with you guys..

Now, as i said before I don't have severe acne but this mask was highly recommended by many girls and ladies and they swear by it!

Plus, I wouldn't write this article if i was not not sure about this, so you can trust me.

I tried this on me although i had no acne, it worked good and my face felt clean.

You will have to try this for at-least a month to see some results, and why not?

If it does what it claims, that is clear your acne and that too without any chemicals why not try this?

Here is the recipe.

What you need:

  • Honey, plain or raw both will work (melt the raw one before using)


Image

  • Cinnamon powder.


Image

  • Empty Bowl


Image

  • One tablespoon to measure

  • And one teaspoon, again for measuring.


Image

Method:

  • Take one tablespoon of honey.

  • Add one teaspoon of cinnamon powder to this.

  • Mix this well, and apply this to clean face in circular motion.


Image

Rinse this off with cold water after 20 minutes. 

You can also add one tea spoon of nutmeg powder to this for better results! :)

Image

Try this and tell me if this worked, also if you know any tips feel free to write them down in the comments below. :)

DIY: Home made green tea ice cubes for summers with multiple benefits!

Hi sweet pea's,

Summers are near and it's not such a good news for girls.

You come back home after a tired day and feel lifeless beacuse of the devil above your head, The Sun.

All you want to do is splash some cold water on your face, but after few minutes the cold and soothing feeling is gone and you feel hot again.

hmmmm :/ 

I have a solution,

Remember green tea?

Ofcource you can drink it and stay young for years but i found this cool way to use this tea in summers and get glowing skin along with getting all the multiple advantages of green tea.

Benefits of green tea:

  • It is rich in antioxidants.
  • Protects skin from free radicals.
  • Is anti-ageing. Yay! :)
  • And gives skin a natural glow.

Now, let's begin and make this baby. :)

Ingredients:

  • Distilled or drinking water
  • Green tea.
  • Ice-cube tray
  • Refrigerator

Method:

  • Take 100ml water, you can take it according to your own choice. There is no hard and fast rule for the quantity of water.

Image

Image

  • Let the water start boiling.

Image

  • Add one teaspoon green tea to this, here i am using the one from lipton. 

Image

The one that i used looks like this:

Image

  • Now let the green tea boil.

Image

  • Cover this with lid and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Image

  • Now turn off the knob, sieve this into a glass and let this cool for 10 minutes.

Image

 Image

  • After 10 minutes take an ice cube tray,

Image

  • and pour the liquid into this.

Image

  • Now put the tray into the freezer and leave it for at-least 5-6 hours before using.

Image

Tips:

  • I made 10 cubes with 100 ml of water, of course you can make more or less according to your own choice.
  • Don't worry there is no particular ratio of water to tea leaves, you can just eye the quantity out and alter the ratio according to your own liking. 
  • Have fun while making these, take molds of different shapes for more innovation.
  • Use these cubes after washing your face.
  • This way, the tea ice cubes will close the pores and give a toning effect to your face.
  • This will save you time and you won't have to make tea again each day to gain it's benefits.
  • Refill the tray as soon as you are just left with two cubes to avoid delay.

I hope you try this at home, and tell me if you liked this idea. :)
