Advantages of Homemade Body Scrub


Body scrubs are used to exfoliate skin which is needed for skin rejuvenation. Doing your own homemade body scrub favors you many things. Body scrubs sold commercially sometimes contain ingredients which are alien to us. They are also infused with some chemicals to prolong shelf-life. Doing your own homemade body scrub ensures you that all the ingredients used are all-natural thus
giving you confidence about its safety on your skin. You can also make quantities according to your use thereby preventing possible wastage. 


Benefits of Homemade Body Scrub


Our skin has invisible dead skin cells that render our skin lifeless and dull. In order for new skin to surface, we need to exfoliate it at least once a week with mild body scrub. Scrubbing skin gently will shed off dead skin cell to unleash a healthy glow. Using all-natural homemade scrub gives body optimum health benefits on our skin. 

Brown sugar have been known to contain more minerals because of the extra molasses added and its coarser granules make it perfect for body scrub. Green tea, aside from its reputation for a healthy drink, is a natural antioxidant which is used to cleansed body from free radicals. Honey, a medicinal aid that has been used for ages and is known to treat various conditions is a perfect ingredient fir a body scrub. Lemon, being a natural skin whitener use to bleach unwanted pigmented skin areas.

Mango Soap From Body Shop Review

Mango Soap But Not Mango


Hi lovelies! As promised in my previous post about Early Eid Gift, I'm going to write a review about one of the stuffs I received which is the mango soap from Body Shop. It's been almost a week since I used it and if you want to know what I have to say then keep in reading. 

This is a clear soap and as opposed to its name mango soap, I don't smell any trace of mango on it. That's a turning point for me actually as I don't like scented soaps. I normally don't use soap on my face as I've mentioned in my earlier post because I have very sensitive skin. I usually used Sebamed Antibacterial Cleansing Foam or Cleansing Bar which are very good aids for sensitive acne-prone skin. Back to the mango soap, since its not scented, I decided to give it a try on my face. Why not? I have tried many body products from Body Shop and I liked them. So I thought it would be as good as others if not better.

Eid Gifts Ideas


Hi beauties! Today is the 14th day of Ramadan and in half a month, we'll be saying goodbye to this blessed month and this would mean Eid is in the air. What have you prepared for your Eid? Do you already have ideas on what gifts to buy this Eid? Special meal menus maybe or perhaps a lovely dress? The very sad fact that we are away from home and are not expecting visitors on Eid, I haven't thought of any preparation to be made and since I am that type who love to work on last minute, might as well sustain that reputation and think about it only when its around. 

Anyway, today I received a very early Eid gifts from my colleague. I am on leave for a month now and this is a surprise gesture from a co-worker. This present comes in a very cute package. I love the thought that there was effort made and I truly appreciate it. Inside the brown gift bag is a transparent violet-striped wrap and what's inside the wrap?
