Honey x Lemon

Honey Lemon Drink.


This is pretty much a blend of my two favorite natural ingredients: honey & lemon. A very simple drink mixture but if you do drink this habitually, you're gonna even get a lot of grand advantages for your body.

Honey bees transform nectar into honey by a process of regurgitation and evaporation. They store it as a primary food source in wax honeycombs inside the beehive.
In addition to being a great natural sweetener, honey has a multitude of benefits that many people don’t know about.  Have you ever had an unrelenting sore throat? Honey has been proven to be a natural throat soother! Are you an athlete looking for a natural energy boost before the big game? Honey’s unique blend of natural sweeteners gives it the ability to provide quick energy in any circumstance. This section of the Web site will allow you to further explore these and other benefits of honey, and will also be a source for nutrition facts on this pure, natural sweetener. - 1
Even though its too much to sum up, here are some benefits from honey:

• Natural sweetener
• Natural energy (*honey is a source of carbohydrates, providing 17 grams per tablespoon, which makes it ideal for your working muscles since carbohydrates are the primary fuel the body uses for energy)
• Skin care (*it moisturizes perfectly)
• Cough suppressant (*A 2007 study by a Penn State College of Medicine research team found that honey may offer parents an effective alternative to over-the-counter cough medicine. The study found that a small dose of buckwheat honey given before bedtime provided better relief of nighttime cough and sleep difficulty in children than no treatment or dextromethorphan (DM), a cough suppressant found in many over-the-counter cold medications.) 

As for me personally, where else you can find any sweet things and it has a good benefits for your body? No sugar added too, please note that one is very important (teehee).

People use lemons to make lemonade by mixing lemon juice and water. Many people also use lemon as a washing agent, because of its ability to remove stains. The scent of lemon can also repel mosquitoes, while drinking lemon juice with olive oil helps to get rid of gall stones. Lemon is well known for its medicinal power and is used in many different ways. - 2.
If I can mention these health benefits from lemon, they are good for your: indigestion, skin care, hair care, fever, dental care, burns, internal bleeding, weight loss, respiratory disorders, throat infections, high blood pressure.

Naturally i have this oily kind of face skin. Everytime i google about what mask should i use to suppress the oil amount, i can't find none of them leaving lemon behind. Because its very good to make your skin less oily and minimize the pores. Same thing goes with your hair treatment; if you have this kind of oily hair that makes you annoyed because it will go oily not so long after you feel clean about it, try lemon treatment.

I am using these two ingredients often since i bake, and combining these two into one drink probably one of my favorite drink ever!

Recipe:

1 1/2 tbsp lemon

1 tbsp honey

1/2 cup water (preferable hot water)

*double this recipe if needed

Oily to Oil-less Face

Ever tired of having an oily kind of face? If you're answer is a yes hope this post can help you find a way out somehow.

Call this as a product review that I've been wearing for three months now, i am wearing L'occitane Angelica series and the result is something that make you feel worth it, like you're investing your face on the right products.

"If you have an oily face especially, you have to be concern on your cleansing product, thats first to remember. Because when you forget to clean or lazy to do it diligently, don't get mad on whatever products you're wearing, because its your own lack, your own risk."

I find this statement is make sense, because when you have an oily skin, or in the other words you have big pores kind of skin, its very easy for bacterias, or any dirty little things to go in and yes they're one of the reason why acnes come to your face. Another thing that is important is to find the right cleansing product. I was trying some cleansing products and found it also important to find one which is not "that strong" because oily skin its a sensitive skin as well in some ways. If i may give you some advice: look for one that contains "water" as the main product ingredients and avoid those that has this or that chemical parts much more than the herbal one. In the other words, yes i am pro-herbal products! :)

Before this one, I also recommend, L'oreal Hydrafresh you might find it hard to find, but L'oreal official stall always have one. Back to the business, as they already announced it to the world, yes L'occitane products are all herbal. I found myself a bit tired of changing products here and there but now i am relieved that i found the right one for my face.

Cleansing Steps (left-right):
- Shea Milk Cleanser (night only) - to reduce red dots effects/pimples scars
- I am adding Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil (for Oily Skin) if i put some make up that day. This product is also very recommended, no wonder they put it as one of their best product to sell.
- Angelica Cleansing Foam
- Angelica Cleansing Toner
- Angelica Serum
- Angelica Moisturizer

*if you're confused which one to buy first for you to try, always starts with the cleansing.

Also once you turned herbal, try not to put any chemical things to your face (i don't even use pimple cream or any cream. just don't touch your pimples with bare hands or scrub it because it could make it worse). This might be one of those products that will suit well with your oily skin, not saying that this is the one and only, find yours and you'll feel relieved! :)
If i can suggest how to make it even better: is by changing the way you eat and live. Eat clean and reduce eating those with a lot of oil is not a joke or another booming lifestyle. And not to forget, do NOT stress out in life! It affects your face and body more than you could ever think and expect.
Stay happy and always stay happy! For the sake of your face? I shall say, "YES"! :)

The Zig Zag

HELLO, girls! I’ll show you a trick to make this Zig-Zag nail art, *believe me you can easily do it yourself at home! © So Let’s get started :

 First, apply a base coat to protect your natural nails. Wait for several minutes and let it completely dry.

b.     Paint your nails with two thin coat of a light colour, in here I used “Do You Lilac It? by OPI” and “If You Moust You Moust by OPI”

c.     For the next step you need a small roll of clear tape. Paint some other colours on the tape, in here I used “Chocolate Moose & Zom-Body to Love by OPI” and “Orange colour by The Face Shop”  Apply two thin coat of each colour for make it opaque.

d.     After it dry, use a zig-zag scissors to cut little stripes of your painted tape. You can cut as many different sizes as you like.

e.     Put your custom nail sticker on your nail, cut the excess sticker off with regular scissors and press it down to secure it.

f.      Keep on adding more stripes on to your nails and you can ulternate the colours or the spacing to make it different for each nail or you can keep the design uniform on all of your nails.

g.     Last but not least, apply a top coat to protect your design and add a beautiful shine for your nails.

So that’s it! Pretty simple and easy right? :p

Happy trying girls! Can’t wait to see your Zig-Zag nails ©

Irreplaceable!

What can i say, being a woman is so complicated. There’s thousand of products outhere to support your beauty and finding beauty product is as hideous as finding the right, can I say the right man? Because every woman has her own skin condition and issues and YES expensI’ve stuffs has no warranty to a perfect result. All we need is to try to fall, learnt from the past, moving on, and keep find the right one. Sometimes when we’re in desperate moment, expensive brand seems so tempting and so oh-perfect to try. Guess what? I already fooled and keep experimenting until now. Once again even if your friend or sister went well with some stuffs doesnt mean it will do the same way to you. Every woman having a different hormones and how they work inside our body. So let’s have a moment to contemplating this situation.

1. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cleanser vs The Body Shop Aloe Vera Facial Foam

I bought this product because I’ve read once that Eva Mendes using this brand, and months after that they opened their first store in my city, so yeah all the excitement and the curiousity came. First i tried their facial cleanser and works well so i ended buying their products like serum, eye cream, exfoliator, toner and also shampoo. First 3 months was fine but after that my face feel so itchy. I stopped using the face cleanser and my skin face became better. I’m not saying that Kiehl’s has a terrible product, no. But somehow it didnt work for me. I still continue using other products except the face cleanser. After that i bought The Body Shop Aloe Vera Facial Foam. This product is really light and gently soft. Very good for sensitI’ve skin. I’ve been using this product more than 6 months and I can say my face skin has no problem at all even my acne rarely appear.

2. Lancome Hypnose Mascara vs Maybelline Volume Express Mascara

Bought Lancome’s mascara while accompanying my mom buying some stuff in their store. Emm, I’m sorry Lancome but for me this mascara tottaly dissapointing. One reason, this mascara is so easy to melt. Definetly not recommended for long-wear. About Maybelline, so affordable and the result really amazed me. You can wear it all day long and enjoy your lush lashes Bravo

3. L’Occitane Smoothing Gloss Repairing vs L’oreal Reflexium Expert Series

I had a period when my hair was so dull and sapless. Tried L’Occitane’s and guess what? Not working. AT ALL. Not even a minute. Thank God for L’oreal Reflexium Expert Serie. Makes my hair smoother and shine at it best. Can you believe when I’m rolling my hair, the hair roller keep sag down because my hair became super smooth and sleek. Such a magic product!

4. MAC Fluidline vs Topshop Gel Liner in Ink

Quick explanation, MAC Fluidline fuzzy real quick. For high cosmetic brand like MAC, how come this thing exists. ??? Anyone? In other side Topshop, a brand that having cosmetic line only for their additional variant product invent gel liner that longlast than cosmetic brand legend, MAC. 

5. Anna Sui Lip Rouge vs Revlon Lip Butter

Anna Sui Lip Rouge has no serious problem it just Revlon Lip Butter has third of the price with the product result are not very different. In other words, Revlon’s lip butter is a good way for saving money $$$ besides, every woman has secretly addiction for having lipstick in many colours. By buying Revlon’s Lip Butter  you’re not feeling guilty because apparently, one Anna Sui Lip Rouge cost THREE Revlon Lip Butter. Well someone once said, women can never have too many lipstick. That’s what we called “bonheur”

I’m a beauty-products junkie and learnt that you have to be very patient until finding “magic product” that works well and not pricey. That’s what I say double win-win!
