I Am Nothing

I feel like I am nothing compare to what I see in everything. I just thought how did I end up being what I am, why didn’t I stop or even think of who I am to become. Why can’t I do something about it. Maybe I’m just to tired and scared of getting hurt that I no longer wanna feel it. That I chose happiness in a fantasy rather than pain in a reality.

People see me that I’m happy, that I live in a perfect life, that I am strong and got nothing to worry. Why can’t I be that person, why can’t it be me. In fact, I am terrified and I felt alone and sometimes I lost hope. For everytime I put myself up there’s something in me that keeps pushing me down.

You can never really walk away from a shadow. Everytime you see a light in you, your shadow keeps following you and when you look back it’s just there reminding you of who you are. Can I be that strong to never look back and to live a life without a past. To think that I am really something and that I can be big in my own thing.

Sometimes I think of myself as an ant, a tiny little ant that can be easily stepped upon. At first it is just about being small that sometimes people don’t noticed you at all. But do we see how they’ve given so much, do we even know how important they are. Never lose hope I guess, for when I feel down I always think that if an ant was created for a purpose then I am here for a reason.

Olay Body Wash

Lately, I’ve been going gaga over body wash. I just tried and found out for myself that it is better than soap. It deeply moisturizes the skin with just one use and what more if your gonna use it daily. And also, I like the smooth and gentle lather of a body wash.

I got three variants of Olay Body Wash, the refreshing cucumber and green tea, the deep moisture with honey and clean moisture with coconut milk. They still have other variants that you can check in stores.

If your not a regular body lotion user you will definitely love this, it will make your skin hydrated and soft all day long. Its like a body wash and lotion in one, it cleanses your body while leaving it moisturized. And the scent is truly amazing, it lets you feel good and fragrant after bathing. And the scent stays on the skin for quite awhile depending on what activity you’ll be doing. But if your having a relaxing time at home you will definitely feel relaxed after using this.

I like the clean moisture with coconut milk because of its sweet scent and I love that it has a coconut oil in it and my next choice would be the deep moisture with honey. I am a big fan of sweet scented fragrance! 😄 And lastly the cucumber and green tea smells pretty good too never thought its gonna smell light and sweet, I love the scent of this better than the other brand I’ve tried.

You too can have a beautiful, healthy-looking skin that lasts with Olay Body Wash.

Vitamin E Face Mist

It’s been a while since I used a face mist. And I think the brand that I’ve been using before doesn’t have them anymore. I actually don’t used it as a makeup base, I used it to refresh my face.

I never realized that a face mist is actually much better than a moisturizer as a makeup base especially for people who have oily skin. I always put on a moisturizer before I put on my make up, its actually good since it has a uv protect that can protect you from the sun. But the thing is my skin gets too oily easily and instead of having a flawless look, I think my make up is just giving me a “dirty” look. The foundation doesn’t look flat anymore, it gets cakey.

I tried using the Vitamin E Face Mist from The Body Shop, and we all known that vitamin E is good for the skin. I sprayed a few just enough for my whole face and let it dry before I put on my BB Cream then my makeup. The best thing with it is that my I got my makeup look flawless for awhile without my face getting too oily.

Moisturizer or face mist as a makeup base? I recommend moisturizer for people with dry skin because its gonna help give a glow and life on their skin and a face mist for people with oily skin so as to manage and control too much oil on the face. And for me, I still use a moisturizer before sleeping at night makes my skin soft and to lighten dark spots.

Always make sure that a certain product would go best with your skin because we all have different skin type that requires different care. Read and do a little research before trying them on your skin.

Even after my skin is destroyed, Yet from my flesh I shall see God; Whom I myself shall behold, And whom my eyes will see and not another. My heart faints within me!
Job 19:26-27

Red Musk by The Body Shop

I have seen this a few weeks ago whenever I passed by The Body Shop but I didn’t get the chance to try and checked it out. Not until today when they are giving out free samples for the first 100 customers (selected branch only) that comes with a little valentine sweet treats. And also, I bought my Vitamin E Face Mist at 20% off, happy hearts day indeed. Review for it will be up on my next post.

The Body Shop Red Musk is a cruelty-free musk blended and contrasted with stimulating spices. Sparkling pepper, intriguing cinnamon notes and alluring tobacco accords.

At first glance I thought it was a parfum designed for men, because its quite simple and bold and dark. One thing that men would most likely have. Until earlier that I found out that it was a scent for women. Tried it out on my wrist even before they gave me my free sample. The scent was a little too much for me at first because I love a sweet and simple scent when it comes to parfum.  So I went around the store for awhile and browse some other stuff and picked up my vitamin e face mist. Just before I checked out, smelled it on my wrist and it’s quite lovely with an intensed touch.

Actually, they told me on the store that it can be for both men and women. And I totally agree with them. Because of its intense fragrance men would actually love this because the scent is not very feminine at all. For women it’s an empowering scent and for men it’s gonna be simple and attractive. And for me, I would totally love my man to use this!

You can checked it out in all The Body Shop branches near you. It’s either you’ll love it or regret not having it. 🙂

Oil and perfume make the heart glad, So a man’s counsel is sweet to his friend.

Dove Body Wash with Nutrium Moisture

One thing that we all love is a healthy glowing skin. We buy and use beauty soaps, moisturizers and body oil to maintain a beautiful skin. Wouldn’t it be nice if we can buy something that gives us all the benefits in one.

Dove has something new to offer, and I was blessed enough to actually try it for myself. They have 3 variants, the Gentle Exfoliating Nourishing Body Wash with Exfoliating Beads, the Go Fresh Nourishing Body Wash Energize  (grapefruit and lemongrass scent), and the Go Fresh Nourishing Body Wash Fresh Touch (cucumber and green tea scent).

Each one has nutrium moisture which is the new breakthrough in their body wash, it nourishes the skin deep down making the skin more beautiful with continuous used. I have been using them for more than a week now and I can say that I no longer need to use a moisturizer or body lotion, especially that I am always in a hurry.

I have tried each one of them and I may say that my favorite would be the Gentle Exfoliating with Exfoliating Beads (blue). I love its sweet and gentle scent, I’m not kidding the scent really relaxes me during my bath time. And it made my skin really soft and looks nourishingly young and healthy.

As for the Go Fresh Energize (yellow) its best for people who are always on the go, it has this energetic refreshment feel that effectively nourishes the skin and leaves you fresh as you go through the day. It also smells great but I already fell inlove with the other one. And the Nourishing Body Wash Fresh Touch (green) gives you the cool feeling of refreshing-hydration because of the cucumber and green tea scent that you would definitely love. I like using this after my running routine I feel refreshed and relaxed after bathing. The scent for me is not very attracting but the effect is very indulging.

You can buy them at your favorite supermarket and department store. You have to try it to experienced its moisturizing effect on your skin. You will surely have your own favorite!

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Don’t Worry, Be Happy

Sometimes we worry about lots of things. We don’t even know where to start or how to simply make a positive approach about it. I really envy those people who can be calm at any situation.

Problem comes in different forms, no one can say that he doesn’t have one. I think its how people look at it, if its a challenge or a burden. Everytime that my mind got its free zone, here comes all the negative thoughts how and when will it stop? Why can I just think of the positive ones, why not just dream of a happy future? So, I worry a lot. And it just gave me a heavy heart. And sometimes it got me to a point that I stop believing that I can do better.

In the long run I learned that I have to stop worrying for I will never get close in solving anything. It’s hard to act brave or just ignore the situation but its all about surrendering your burden. Keeping the faith and believing that everything is according to God’s plan. No matter how difficult the situation is stay strong. For if you will open up your heart and your eyes you will see that it is not a coincidence but rather a blessing in disguise.

Worrying makes everything worst not just in your mind but also in your life. Sometimes we have to find the positivity in a negativity. It’s hard though but everything has a solution, find the solution to solve a problem. For a positive mind leads to a possible outcome.

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is it’s own trouble.
Matthew 6:34

Pantene 3 Minute Miracle

Miracle sounds too serious if not true. So this is the new craze in town, everybody wants to try it out. I’m so blessed to have a free sample to try and check for my self how amazing this Pantene 3 Minute Miracle is.

As I’ve said on my previous post (Tresemmè Shampoo) my hair is dry due to too much hairstyling treatments and coloring. It would be very expensive if I would often go to the salon for major hair treatments that would bring the life out of my hair. So the best way is to find something that would suit my hair type. And then I finally found the shampoo that can be for daily used but as for me I only used shampoo 3-4 times a week (see my previous post). And of course a perfect hair wouldn’t be complete without a perfect conditioner.

I’ve tried so many brand of conditioner, well everything works though. But I was still looking for something that would not only make it smooth but also make it more manageable and tangled free for atleast a day or maybe forever. We all have a busy day and I myself don’t have the time to comb it and as the day goes by my hair gets really tangled as if the effect of the conditioner doesn’t last that long.

I was so excited to use this and see how well it goes for me. I immediately used it to experience its miracle. After bathing I dry my hair a bit on a towel and fix it with a comb and went out with a damp hair, actually I was in hurry did not let it dry anymore before I go. I went out to meet a friend so I got busy chatting and laughing for quite a few hours. Then I went to the womens powder room to retouched and I totally forgot that I was looking forward to seeing the result on my hair. I looked in the mirror and was so amazed how smooth my hair was! 100% tangled free! And the best part is it doesn’t look dry! My smile was from ear to ear. But of course, it’s never the same with how my hair used to be when it never had any hairstyling and coloring.

Conditioner always goes well after a shampoo. And as always results vary depending on hair type, you can always search for a product that would suit your hair. But as for me Pantene 3 Minute Miracle would be my “hair buddy”.

Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

TRESemmè Shampoo takes care of my dry hair

I love my hair so much I want it to look good. But too much coloring and hairstyling made it dry. I like to change my hair color often, I also tried hair relaxing a decade ago and that was so dreary! Then came hair rebonding, I actually like how it made my hair straighter but it gave me tons of split and sort of lightning struck ends. So, I have to go to the salon more often for a trim but it never ends.

They said that you have to go for treatments so you’ll maintain a healthy hair but I guess once your hair have too much of chemicals it’s really hard to have it the way it used to be. And having salon treatments most of the time will surely make me broke..hehehe

I’ve tried so many shampoos but this I truly love. Tresemme Thermal Recovery and Keratin Smooth.

Been using this for quite a while now and I love the results! The Tresemme Thermal Recovery has an advanced recovery and protection system with aloe vera and almond oil that cleanses and restore vibrancy and shine to dry and damaged hair. It’s ideal for those who style often with blow dryers and heat stylings tools. The Tresemme Keratin Smooth helped my hair by making it smooth and tangled free. It helps restore hair protein and gently clenases to leave hair clean, shiny and manageable. But wait, I’m not using both of it at the same time. I actually use shampoo 3-4 times a week but I’m using a conditioner everyday. I use the other one for a week and then the other one the following week. I’ll be posting my new found conditioner that made miracles on my hair soon.

On the left photo you can see how dry my hair is, I took this photo around October 2014. And on the right is a photo I took recently. Btw, I used my conditioner (i’ll be posting soon) on my photo on the right but nevertheless Tresemme Shampoo gave me a salon gorgeous hair never had any salon treatments for quite sometime now. And it made me save a lot.

Results vary depending on the type of hair, sometimes you have to use the product much longer for better results and if you really don’t want to damage your hair never go for too much hairstyling that uses chemicals. Love your hair just the way it is 🙂

Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a rigtheous life.
