Hello all you beautiful people,

So today, I bring to you something I swear by for spots... I never usually swear by anything but since I have tested this and worked wonders for me, I have decided to share it with those of you who are also looking for a solution!!!

So last week I had a HUGE spot on my nose, literally like a statement stamp on my face as it was the most central part and probably the first thing anyone will see when they see me. It's one of those painful spots that is sore to touch... it's not quite visible yet, BUT you KNOW it's coming!! It starts off as a small red bump under the skin, then it grows, and grows... and before you know it, its a huge lump which is most probably filled with puss. (sorry for the gross details!)

Well I have had my fair share of those deep spots, I think I had 4 on my nose at one stage and it was the worst feeling ever because it was so sore and everyone would just stare at my nose when I talk to them. Since then I've only gotten them when I'm stressed, or when I grow my nails long (weird I know, but I think it's because your nails trap so much bacteria! so if you have long nails, lots of spots on your face and are touching your face a lot then maybe stop touching your face or scratching it!)

Ok, so what did I do? Well I have a tincture of propolis from my partner from when he was in Brazil, he said it's got these super healing powers.. blah blah blah, but I never really paid much attention to it, I used it when I was feeling a bit unwell, but this time I thought maybe I'll try it on my spot. So after I showered and washed my face, I used my ring finger and gently dabbed the liquid all over my nose... I topped it over probably 4 times or so. Then you just leave it there. Once it's dried you can apply makeup over it or just leave it the way it is. It smells strong when its wet but when its dried you won't notice it.

Propolis is a natural antibiotic, so protects against bacteria! Propolis is commonly used for its healing, antiseptic and restorative capabilities. 

You can read more about them here: http://www.naturallivingideas.com/bee-propolis-benefits/

The propolis I have here is nothing fancy, it's one he got in the pharmacy for probably an equivalent of 3-4euro. I'm not sure what the price of it is in Europe, but perhaps you can find some online. Also, make sure it's pure propolis extract. Should only have 2 ingredients, this one is 40% propolis extract ( meaning there's alcohol and pure propolis!

The next day I was so surprised, the spot was no longer sore... so I applied the propolis on my nose religiously until the spot was gone and it also helped heal the scars faster!!! So the redness went away much quicker than it did previously! 

Hello to all you beautiful people!

I'm so excited to share with you that iGlow have chosen me to trial their popular eye lash growing serum (it's the new hype right now... especially among girls who have short eyelashes like me!)

So I first saw their product on instagram and was amazed by the results, but I also noticed that there were literally zero chinese/japanese/korean girls with before and after photos, so I was a bit skeptical seeing as most of those girls using the serum have long lashes compared with your average chinese/japanese/korean girl. So I asked them about it and they offered to let me try out their product and send them updates of my process! So excited!!!!

So, I started using this 2 nights ago, and apparently it takes about 3 weeks to see results, so feel free to follow me on my journey to longer and fuller lashes!

It's like an eyeliner, only it's invisible and I use it in the evening (after my shower/before bedtime!) It's super easy to apply so for those who are not eyeliner pros, fear not!

Here are day 1 photos!

Let me know if you've used iGlow before and how it went!

Lots of Love,

Hello beautiful people!

Hope you're having a super Easter! So today I bring you another short post on a DIY face mask!! This one is more of a healing/cleansing face mask compared to the last one! After using this mask your face will feel a little tight which is good as it's suppose to shrink pores! I have tried making this with apple cider vinegar and also with water, and I find that with water, it's much harder to get a nice consistency, so I use ACV. If you have sensitive skin I would suggest using water as ACV may be too harsh on your skin.

If you want to read more on the benefits of Bentonite clay mask, you can check out some info here--> click here 

Disclaimer: I'm not a dermatologist. This is just from personal experience, so please do test patch in the case of sensitive skin!

(trying not to smile too much as the clay hardens!)

Ingredients:

- Bentonite Healing Clay (I bought mine online)

- Apple cider vinegar (with the "mother"), I will refer to this as ACV below.

Apple cider vinegar with the mother just means that its unrefined, unpasteurized and unfiltered! It's naturally antibacterial and antifungal

Other things you'll need:

- small non-metal bowl

- non-metal teaspoon

this is because metal spoons and bowls will react with the clay reducing most of its healing properties. 

For more in-depth explanation check out this link --> click here

How I make and use the mask:

1. Wash face (I normally wash my face with my olive face soap and then pat dry)

2. Mix 1 tsp of clay with 1 tsp of ACV into light paste

3. Ensure that hair is back (handy to use a head band to pull back all little lose hairs.

4. Spread the paste onto clean skin

5. Now you wait, normally I leave it on for about 20-30 minutes. You'll know when it's ready! The clay will be drying and as it does you'll feel it beginning to tighten on the skin. When it starts to feel this way, it's time to take off the mask. Or alternatively you can just leave it on for 5 minutes!

6. Because the clay is a bit dried and hard, don't scrub! I normally put some warm water in a big bowl and dip my face in it to soften up the clay and when it begins to soften, you can use your fingers in small circular motions and gently massage the clay off your face.

7. When all clay is removed, rinse your face with cold water and then pat dry!

8. Apply moisturizer! I normally use organic extra virgin coconut oil, I take a little bit and apply it to my face, then using a cotton pad gently remove excess oil by using small circular motions on my face. 

So I hope you guys enjoy your mask and let me know what you think! :) 

Lots of love,

Eneshai
