So my little brother
has had eczema for a couple years now, but thankfully for him it’s pretty localized
to one side of his upper arm.And for
years he would take a steroid cream when he would have a flare up and though it
would help, it would only do so marginally.So one day, I decided to go into my arsenal of natural ingredients and
come up with a healthier alternative.
You gain strength, courage, and confidence
by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can
take the next thing that comes along.'
So this is my first relationship post of 2016 (yay!) which
is actually really fitting because with the New Year came a completely different perspective for me
on this particular issue.Now, in the past,
I’ve always been of the ‘if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it’
school of thought.By that I mean I
never thought it made sense to be friends with someone whom you clearly wanted
more from.I mean couldn’t you get to
know each other and build from within a committed relationship?And if he wants you, shouldn’t he claim you
and do what it takes to keep you from the beginning?
As you all know, I kinda fell off the healthy wagon for the
last 6 MONTHS of 2015 (I know…..it’s bad).BUT I’ve definitely gotten back on it this month (YAY!) .And one of the ways that I’ve been doing that
is by JUICING.Now for those who aren’t familiar with
juicing, it’s is an awesome way to get a huge amount of nutrients absorbed into
your system really quickly, while at the same time giving your digestive system
a break from all the fiber in fruits and vegetables.And
the best part is all you need is a juicer and your personal selection of your
favorite fruits and vegetables.And for
those who don’t have a juicer
Stress sucks!And in this
day and age where there always seems to be more responsibilities and tasks to
complete and less and less time to complete them, stress is almost
unavoidable.The worst part about being
stressed for me is that when I’m stressed, everything that I’m stressed about
seems to get done so much slower, which just makes me MORE stressed.Vicious cycle much?
This is probably my favorite and most used
ingredient in my facial scrubs, and for good reason.I find that it is the easiest liquid
ingredient to add to otherwise dry scrub ingredients.It is thick enough to prevent other
ingredients, such as sugar, from being too harsh on the skin while scrubbing and
also thick enough to prevent other ingredients from dissolving all together and
losing their texture.Apart from being a
great consistency, honey is a natural antibacterial so it is awesome for
prevention and treatment of acne.In
addition, its anti-aging antioxidant, and moisturizing properties guarantee you
that you skin is left smooth and glowing.Oh and did I mention it tastes and smells great?LOVE IT!
Wow.So my personal
life has probably been the most transformative this year.But instead of writing a REAALLYYYY long essay
like my last post, I think im just gonna highlight some of the best and worst
of the year and the many MANY lessons I’ve learnt.Without much ado, lets get started.
First off…….I’M BACK!!!!!Yes it’s been 2 months, which is crazy, but in all honesty I’ve been
living life and having some pretty cool experiences and I just haven’t had the
mental space to write anything of value.But trust me,
