Dry Face Brushing- Yes Or No?!

Hello all you beautiful people out there! 

Firstly, an apology from me. Clearly I've been away for such a long period of time, well hear me out! I am currently in Uni doing a production therefore, my workload has been so excessive that I barely have time to sleep. I'm currently running on a 5-6 hours of sleep which clearly isn't enough, But I'm coming back with a BIG BANG!

Dry Face Brushing! Yes or No?!

Definite YES!! 

You might have heard people dry body brushing, some models such as Miranda Kerr swore by this method to keep her skin glowing and smooth. Well dry face brushing should be a fad too!

Here's a picture of me with my little genius tool!

Some of the benefits: 

Increased exfoliation- Helps makes your skin smoother and more refined.
Increased lymphatic flow- It helps remove toxins in your skin which are often the cause of breakouts and puffiness.
Increased circulation- Brings oxygen and nutrition directly to your skin, where you will look radiant and rejuvenated.

Now let's rethink why you wouldn't want to invest this little genius tool for gorgeous skin!
Some other cheaper alternatives you can use are an electric toothbrush (of course with a separate head) or a small handkerchief.

These methods works as well but try not to brush your face too hard, Just gently strokes will do the trick!

I hope I've changed your mind into buying a Dry Face Brush! 

Apologies for not having long post but please bare with me!

Eggcited?!

Hi guys
As I  didn't really have any time to shop this week and since it's been a really tiring week, I just wanted something quick, fast and yummy for breakfast.

After rummaging through my fridge, look at what I found! 

Ingredients: 
- 2 Eggs
- Handful of Spinach
- Handful of Mushrooms (Up to your preference. As for me, I loooove my shrooms!)
- Spring Onions
- Handful of Spinach (1 cup)
- 1 Bulb of Shallots
- 1-2 Strips of Bacon (You can also use beef bacon, turkey bacon or simply shredded chicken.) 
- 1Tbsp of Low Fat Cream Cheese (You can also use Ricotta Cheese)


Instructions: 

Let's start by first dicing up your shallots  and spring onions. Then cut up your mushrooms.
If you prefer more bite, you're always welcome to cut it thicker.

Slice up your bacon to bite size. Once all that is done, let's start frying!

Start by first frying your bacon without oil on your non stick pan. You don't need to add in additional oil as the bacon produces it's own.

Once your bacon start to brown, throw in you shallots and mushroom. After frying, put a side.

Break both the eggs and beat well with a fork. By adding one table spoon of olive oil just to make sure that your egg won't stick to the pan, pour your egg in.

Scatter your mushroom and bacon mixture which you previously put aside before your egg starts to set. Once it's about to cook, scatter the Cream Cheese/ Ricotta Cheese and the Spinach.

After that, fold the egg in half to cook the spinach a bit more. 

I didn't use any salt for this dish as the saltiness already comes from the bacon. Only Pepper.
If you want your dish to be a bit more flavourful, you're welcome to add in mix herbs or any other preferred herbs.

I hope you guys have been having a good week thus far! 

So sorry for the lack of post as I am currently in Intensives for Production 1: My life now consist of meetings and rehearsals daily from 8-11. 

But my co-partner will be uploading post if I am not doing so! 

Co-Partner & Big thanks to: Royston Poh for writing this post. 

See you soon!

RoseHip Oil.

Hello all my beautiful readers! 

Most of you might have heard of Rose Hip Oil, or if you may not well keep reading on! 

I have recently purchased a bottle of certified organic Rosehip oil, reason why is that I have heard great reviews on Rosehip oil, most of you might know Miranda Kerr and other celebrities uses it to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and scars. Well, at the age of 20 I thought it'd be best to prevent it! Ladies & gents, prevention is key! 

(Organics)

Benefits of Rose Hip Oil: 

1) It contains high levels of Vitamin C and Vitamin A as well as fatty acids such as omega 3 and 6.

2) It contains anti-inflammatory properties and it has healing and anti-microbial properties.

3) It is widely used on acne. It is very light and non-greasy.

4) It hydrates the skin and can help with ezcema and other skin conditions.

5) It is versatile, you can use it on your skin and on your hair. If you wish, on your nails too!! *Sayyyyy whaaaaat! *

6) It helps with scarring, it is proven effective in repairing acne scars and with regular use, the scars will start to fade and become less prominent.

7) It is filled with antioxidant and vitamins which helps keeps the skin smooth and healthy looking! Deminishes fine lines, wrinkles and scarring. It is easily absorbed into the skin.

Why you should choose pure organic Rosehip oil?

- Organic Rosehip oil, it is natural and does not contain any other chemicals. It is purely made out of the natural ingredient.

The scent

- Rosehip oil has a distinct scent sort of like Olive oil but it can be unpleasant for some users, so I would suggest trying it out before purchasing!

I'll be doing a review a couple of weeks from now to update you all on the product itself!

Coconut Oil; A Must Have!

Hello all you beautiful people out there! 

Coconut oil has been around for ages and normally people would be afraid of it, however coconut oil benefits us so much that some people see pass it! Today i'll be going over the nutritional facts of coconut oil that will assist weight loss, aid indigestion &give you clear complexion! 

Benefits: 

1) Coconut Oil is one of the richest source of saturated fats (there's a difference between healthy fats and unhealthy fats". 

2)  Coconut oil increases your energy and metabolism which assist weight loss by burning belly fats. It can also reduce your appetite and make you eat less without even trying! It also controls your weight and protects the body from insulin resistance. 

3) Coconut oil has properties that can aid indigestion. 

4) It slows down wrinkles and fine lines. It keeps skin connective tissues strong and it soften the appearance of fines lines, winkles and sagging. 

5) It stops sugar cravings. When ingested coconut oil, your body will cut down on sugar and with the proper amount of fats and protein, you can reserve your fuel properly and use it throughout the day. You will be able to cut down on carbs and other unnecessary junk food that you may have in mind ( i know you do :p we all do~) 

I hope this 5 tips have been helpful unpacking the benefits of coconut oil. I personally really like it because it really adds flavor to my food but other than that, the most important thing is EAT HEALTHY !
