Do it yourself Shrinking Pores Mask

One of my biggest personal beauty problem is big pores. I will be on a journey, well, okay, frugal journey to find ways and products to reduce the size of my pores. I am really excited about this book because it contains so many beauty secrets Shalini Vadhera has accumulated on her journey around the world. I've found one beauty secret from her book on how to shrink pores when she was in the East. Here it is, I will hopefully be able to try it soon to see how it works!

YOUR INCREDIBLE SHRINKING PORES
"At the Banyan Tree Spa in Singapore, these beauties know that a flawless complexion is the trick to a great-looking makeup.  They create wonderful masks that help to remove blemishes, lighten the complexion, tighten pores, and soften skin.  Sounds like a miracle to me! Of course, after seeing how beautiful the women in Singapore, I was the first pereson in line to try it."

BANYAN TREE FACE MASK

+1 tablespoon of oatmeal
+1/2 tablespoon of tumeric powder
+1 teaspoon of honey
+1/2 teaspoon of milk powder
+1 teaspoon of hot water

Steps:
+Add hot water to the oatmeal and mix well
+Follow with the remaining ingredients

Shalini's Beauty Tip
"If you're like me and breakouts leave nasty dark spots on your face, the Banyan Tree Face Mask can be a face saver.  Remember that when doing any type of lightening to the skin, you must wear a sunscreen that's at least an SPF 15 on your face every day; otherwise, your dark spots will reappear after some time in the sun."

Review: Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner   in  Blackest Black  is very creamy and super gentle when applied to the lids, not to mention the brush is definitely a great add in as well. I remember when I first bought the L'oreal Hip Gel Eyeliner, the tiny brush that came with it was super stiff and horrible, but this brush is more flexible and it can be use to fling your winged eyeliners and such.  Would I repurchase this product again?  Yes, I really want to   eggplant .  In terms of staying power, I have really oily lids, so when I had this on the other day, it lasted a lot longer than I thought (although I don't remember how many hours, definitely not 24 though because I could tell part of the liner was fading).  I'm sure if you apply an eye primer base or your concealer, it would last a very long time.    I took this picture right after I bought the product because I was so excited to try it since it had ...

Create a relationship that encourages openness

Is it easier to be consumed in the life I want to live and and not pay attention to the life I have, especially to those who are most close to me. The balance between the external and internal worlds we balance and manage on a daily basis can overshadow how life moves swiftly and quickly through the lives of our loved ones. If I could go back a few years ago or 10 years ago, I would wish I'd take more time to be myself and to build a relationship of openness and encouragement. It's crazy how we can share our deepest fears and our entire worlds with friends, yet, within our own family, we are so afraid to share those secrets. Share your secrets and fears with your family, regardless of the situation, they will be there for you.

It's been x days of running

This was me roughly 3 weeks ago when I first embarked on my journey to run everyday for 100 days. Before this project, it was difficult for me to complete a 1 mile run or jog, without huffing and puffing, but after 3 weeks, I can make it to 1 mile without wanting to give up. I used to be quite jealous of people who sweat a lot at the gym because I did not have the perseverance to run to the point where I would sweat, I just gave up too easily. People say if you fully commit yourself to something for 100 days, you'll blown yourself away, you might even be really good at it. To be honest, I have not run everyday since I have started, but I have done the best I can within the last 3 weeks. I should be up to 5 miles/run now, but this is the breaking point. I've jogged up to 4 miles (with a walking break after every mile), but my mentality hasn't been there recently. I run at our local community center and I would watch The Big Bang Theory  or Modern Family  as...
