A FOOD, LIFESTYLE AND BEAUTY BLOG
There are many products and ingredients in our kitchens that can help you when it comes to beauty. Well, I am going to save you time and tell you how many things you have in your kitchen that you may be ignoring instead of using them in your daily routines. Here are some of the kitchen staples you can use for beauty treatments.
I hope you are all doing fine and ready for the weekend. January is already underway and very soon it will be over. If one of your goals this year was to maintain good health or even achieve some weight loss goals, then this post is just for you. I am also trying to take care of myself and avoiding sugar is one of them so far, I can’t complain. Today I am here with 5 healthy kitchen accessories to achieve your weight loss goals this year and hopefully, none of you has given up already. Also, save yourself some money with these few tips.
Yes December is here, I still can’t believe how this year has flown by but I guess it’s only me who thinks that. Anyway how was your weekend? I hope you had a great one and that you took advantage of Black Friday. Now that the season is beginning to look a little bit more festive, I am back today with a post on gift guide ideas for the cook in you. You don’t really have to be a great one but so long as you can whip up something in the kitchen or just use it once in a while then this will definitely apply to you too.
In the beginning of the year, I gave you new year new ways to cook and also accessories to help you achieve your weight loss goals. So since that included mostly cooking equipment which most of you already have, I decided to focus more on unique things for the cook in you. So, here we go
I hope you’re all having a great start to the week. If you read my updated skincare routine, then you already know how I have changed it up quite a bit from trying Korean skincare to avoiding some products entirely. I have been into skincare for quite some time now, and after getting the routine that suits me and my skin type, it still hasn’t made it easy when my skin decides to just breakout out of nowhere or sometimes due to the dreaded hormones, either way, it’s a battle I am trying to conquer. I added some facial masks to my routine which I am liking. This is my face mask review and it’s an updated version.
It took me a while to figure out what my skin really needs, and had to learn how to keep up with it during changing seasons and hormonal breakouts. I started researching more about Korean skincare, and the number of steps it takes for daytime and night-time routines were too much for me. After trying it for a while I noticed that I needed to reduce some of the products since my skin was taking none of that layering system, so I decided to create my own spin on Korean skincare with the number of products my skin can take. If you read my post on the best tips for sensitive skin, then you now know that my skin has become super sensitive and I have to be very careful when I choose products to apply to my skin and body too. This is my skincare routine updated version.
I also know that with this pandemic, self-care is important so before we are released to the world without restrictions, I decided to just share what has been working for me and if you need some ideas for some products. Also, it’s been a long time coming for me to actually stick to a routine that works and hasn’t caused me major skin problems hence the no photo sessions in most of my posts. Hoping to change that soon since my camera roll is empty.
I hope you’re all doing great and having a good start of the month, September is already here and I still can’t believe it. Schools opened for us and let’s just say it was an eventful first morning and school run. Anyway, today I am back with another post for you and if you’ve been with me for a while then you already know that I’ve had my natural hair for 4-5 years now and never looked back. I pretty much do my own hair be it braiding, trimming, you name it so when I get to try out new products, I know exactly how I would like my hair to feel and look. Today I decided to share with you the 3-step hair growth routine you need with Scandinavian biolabs.
I hope you’re all doing great and still pushing on be it indoors or starting to venture out a bit. Now I don’t know about you but when it comes to fashion, I am not one to follow trends or go with the crowd. I prefer having something I really do like and fits in with my minimalist and sustainable lifestyle and thanks to Nordgreen, I get to do just that by adding a Native black leather watch to my wardrobe essentials which suits me perfectly and I couldn’t be happier. If you haven’t heard about Nordgreen, well it’s a Danish watch company that offers a sustainable, functional yet affordable collection of men’s / women’s watches with classic Scandinavian design.
I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. Spring is here and as much as I’d like to be happy and cheerful, it usually comes with some consequences for me. I am not saying hay fever and sneezing but mine is like double that where it not only attacks my eyes but from last year, my face has decided to get coin like swellings out of the blue either on the side of my face or dead centre on my forehead or the current one right on the side of my nose. The funny thing is it only comes during Spring, decides to stay all through Summer and then Autumn checks in and my face is clear again. The only thing that has been helping is pills on a daily basis, loads of concealer and the thought of these 6 skincare products I want to try out this year.
Anyway, I didn’t come today to say about my skin issues but it’s nice to say it so that if you meet me anywhere and see something bulging from my face just know it’s my Spring allergies. So today I have a post on skincare products I would love to try, I already wrote about products that didn’t work for me a while back do check them out here. There are so many but I just chose the ones I have been keeping my eyes on for a while.
I hope you are all having a good day and had a great start of the week. I decided to embark on a water fast and don’t even know what made me do such a thing, I haven’t cheated or fainted yet so let’s hope I make it through. Anyway since I was thinking of doing my hair this week, it made me realise how my routine has changed. If you read my post here on how to have healthy natural hair then you know what it takes. Since then, my hair has gone through a lot from pregnancy to colour damage to lots of unnecessary trims. I did notice 6 simple things I stopped doing to my natural hair and I will be sharing that with you today.
I am so excited for this post today, I hope you’re all doing great and had a lovely weekend. Speaking of the weekend, I went for my usual grocery shopping in aldi and after lots of rummaging through all those baskets and trying to find where the special buys are, I ended up finding some skincare products which to be honest, really looked good. I am sure you have all heard about the Lacura brand in aldi and how some end up selling out, that’s why I am loving the aldi lacura skincare products and why you should too. Also, I think I found a Pixi glow tonic dupe that I am very excited about and it’s way cheaper than the original. Make sure to also check out my top beauty products and tell me what you think.
