Skin Needs to be Awaken with a Coffee Scrub

Who doesn't love coffee right? Either iced, hot, americano or latte the aroma keeps our senses wide and awake. Due to popular demands of coffee beans, one of the highest grossing trade in the business world today is coffee bean farming. Woah! Awesome! But aside from drinking and putting some coffee to desserts (yes gah! I love cooking. I am a kitchenomic 👏) I'll share a little secret on how I manage my sleepless night  the next day.

We ladies are very much aware that our skin needs proper hydration and sleep to keep the glow balanced. But due to "run the world" errands we sometimes work extra hours at night that leaves our skin dull the next day, bonus those designer eye bags😉 Why don't you wake that sleepy face with a coffee scrub, made naturally from your own pantry?

What you will need:
1. 50mL organic honey
2. 25 grams coarse or medium grind coffee beans

How to:
1. Mix the ingredients together until the constancy becomes equal.
2. Rub to your face carefully and with constant speed.
3. Wash as regular.

*Coffee scrub is also believed to reduce cellulite when applied in affected areas.

Now, run the world with your glow!

Keeping the Glow..Naturally!

Hi! well strange thing after a break up is to have the guts to write on how to keep your skin glow, naturally! Here we go, after a couple of weeks over thinking, stressing and keeping myself wide awake up to the light of the dawn; it made my skin quiet dull and zits prone! So here I go, going back to the old regimen I once had years ago.. wait.. No worries this is all safe, natural and recommended effective!

What you will need:
1. Ice tray
2. Aloe Vera leaves
3. Ripe tomatoes
4. Blender or kitchen smasher

Procedure:
1. Scrape the aloe gel from the leaves. Set aside.
2. Slice the tomatoes in two and blend in a few seconds until foamy. *Optional: When blender is not available at hand, manual pounding/juicing will help.
3. Mix your aloe vera gel with the tomato juice and blend well.
4. Put the extract/juices in an ice tray. And keep refrigerated until frozen solid.
5. Tahdaaah! Here comes your upgraded facial ice. Apply in a circular motion. Leave on up to 30 minutes before washing with your regular washing regimen.

Hope this helps. Keep the glow going!❤😘

Letting go (an open letter to my ex)

Being with you for 2 years is such a ride in a roller coaster. There were ups and downs, laughter and sorrow, set backs and make ups. T'was indeed fun, but like in a roller coaster over staying the ride will cause you headaches and too much jolt of excitement can cause further heartaches.

Honestly, change is not quiet easy, I fight to hold on and I fight to let go. Loosing you was loosing half of me, I used to wake up with the thought of you loving me, I used to go on the day letting you know every detail of the minutes, I used to hugged myself to sleep knowing you are still going to love me the next day. For 25 months I must say I really got attached with your presence, with your compliments, with your I love you's and I miss you's. It wasn't easy...everything from the start wasn't easy. But hey! I loved you.

In a snap of a finger it was all gone. I was wrecked, I was broken, I was terrified to wake up hearing nothing from you. There wasn't no explanation and I'm hating the guessing game on why did you let go. I don't hate you; I hate myself on why did I let you hold a huge part of me, I'm hating myself for letting you step and stumble on me, I hate myself for being needy of you, I hate myself for giving you all the chances, I hate myself for believing you would change, I hate myself for trusting you.

I became selfless; I forgot to love myself when I made you a part of it. I cared too much that I forgot to care for myself. I don't know why I have this feeling towards you, it's too strong. You were insensitive, yes, you do. And as I write all of these I'm trying to fight back the anger and set backs I have for you. You hurt me, in the most unreasonable manner.

Today, I set myself to let go of everything. From the anger, grudges up to the love I once had for you. Today I'm now choosing my happiness without your presence, I am now letting the commitment I once gave to you. Today, I'm planning ahead of a future without you in it. Today, I now feel better. I'll be fine and it all starts today.

Thank you for letting me go, now there's a space for someone better. I now have all the time to repair and prepare the space you once had for that someone better. Thank you, for hurting me, now my standards are higher. Lesson learned, now I know who to choose in the future, who to be with, grow with and share my trust into.

I'm not doing this because you deserves it; I am doing this for myself. I deserve the most of happiness. Forgiveness given and I must start now walking away from you. I'm ending all here, no more leaning and holding back. I'm free!

I'm Sorry

I'm sorry for trying so hard to get the attention that I know is no longer mine,
I'm sorry for still trying to make myself believe that we can still be fixed, even though I know that for you there is no more us.
I'm sorry for assuming that the spaces between your fingers are meant to be filled by mine even though I know that it already belongs to someone else.
I'm sorry for believing that you still love me, even though my own eyes see how disappointed you are whenever you open and know that it was me.
I'm sorry for still forcing you to see my worth, even though I know you're not even gonna waste a single minute to look at it.
I'm sorry for still showing you how much I care and how much I love you to the point that I can't last a day without you.
I'm sorry for crying whenever I see you smile, it's just that my mind shows the opposite of what my heart wants me to be.
Believe me or not I'm trying so hard to be happy but still ends up wiping my own tears for I just can't accept the fact that the reason behind those smiles are no longer me.
I'm sorry for saying that I'm fine while there are tears in my eyes waiting for it to be noticed assuming that I'll get a hug from you that would heal me inside.
I'm sorry for being still so attached with you even though I know my presence only irritates you.
I'm sorry for being so in love with you.
I'm sorry for trying to force a kind of love that I want for the two of us.
I'm sorry for insisting that there's still a chance to continue this feelings.
I tried so hard to be worth your time and deserving of your love and I'm sorry if despite everything I do I'm still not enough for you.
I'm sorry.
