Out

I always envy lovey dovey grandparents I saw on the street. One helping another to buy food in hawker centre, holding arms when one is weak with a walking stick or wiping mouth for each other after meals. All these little actions can never be seen on my paternal grandparents, even for them to have a small talks without any arguments in between is hard. Probably due to the fact that we are Asian family, we hardly put lovey dovey words across to others. And perhaps, my grandmother is more straight-forward and things happened in the past (all was before I was born and which I only heard from her side), and all I saw was grandpa keep quiet at his usual corner. Maybe I automatically assumed that my grandpa need care and concern from me.

Really in a dilemma now. Hoping everything will be alright. When my grandpa argued back, we all know it could be something serious. :/ Hopefully everything will be fine.

Xx, I love my family.

Do you know: Lemons have huge benefits! It helps to cleanse (detox) our body, definitely in weight loss as juice from lemon aids in digesting, most of all, it increase our  immune boosting powers!

Besides the pros from above, there are other hidden remedies about lemons too! Heard of honey lemon? They helps in smoothing your throat when you have a sore and drinking them hot will cause fever or flu to subside.

I didn't know about all these benefits until I read about them online. In. Awe.

Now here's the Do-It-Yourself part!
After hearing all those benefits, I was so eager to try them.

All you need:
1 lemon
2 tablespoon of Organic honey

Facial Mask:
All you need is half a lemon and squeeze all juice that you can out from the lemon! After that, add 2 tablespoon of honey and mix them well. You can either leave it in the fridge or out in room temperature, both is fine.

After this is done, keep your hair OFF your face. You don't want to have unkempt hair flying around when this mask is on, it will be a little sticky!

Apply using a clean make-up brush or you can use a sponge instead. Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes.

Don't throw away those  dry out lemon after you have done squeezing them! You can use it to exfoliate your body when bathing. It can act as scrub and definitely producing whitening effect after a few sessions.

Benefits: This mask/ exfoliation aids in lightening and brightening skin tone, as well as tightening pores. ]

And you might be wondering, what am I suppose to do with other half of the lemon? Fret not! Cut them into slices and drop them in your bottles, thermal flask or even water jug..

While you are 'cleaning' your exterior (meaning your body), lemons can cleanse your interior as well. By adding lemons to your drinking water, it can be effective in clearing up acne.


That's that! Thank you for coming over to this newly start-up writing space, I hope you guys learn a few things like I always did. :)

Review:

>> Book Review: Don't sweat the small stuff for teens by Richard & Kris Carlson

One of the printable version

Hey there, I would like to share this series of book with you guys. I know this have been quite a craze lately and therefore head down to nearest library to borrow this!

Pretty good read so far, loving it! Mostly related, or somewhat I feel the author know my whole teenage life. AND YEA, I know I am not longer a teen. Trying to catch the glimpse of a teen before it officially flew past me.

Here's some extract I would share with you.

3. Don't sweat the breakups
"... but if not for breakups, all of us would marry the very first person we were ever interested in! And obviously in most cases, that's not in our best interests."
"When you put breakups into perspective, it's a little easier to spend less energy mourning relationships that are over and, instead spend that same energy appreciating them. With appreciation, it's much easier to focus on the gifts of the relationship- the memories, growth and fun you shared, while at the same time letting go and moving on; realizing that, as painful as it might be, you will love again"

4. Practice mental Aikido
"It's important to know that mental Aikido doesn't necessarily mean you always back down or agree with someone else's point of view. Instead, it involves selecting the perfect peaceful response, whatever that might be."

6.Check out the odds!
"I've learnt that, while I have no control over who will be nice to me and who will like me, it's always the case that the exact people I need in my life will show up and be there for me."
"... - only they don't seem to feel the same way. It doesn't bother me too much anymore, however, because I've accepted the fact that not all people will feel the same way I want them to."

The first two extracts are more of a mental note for me, while the last is totally relate-able! I ALWAYS feel sad when a friendship ended or the other half isn't as responsive as I did, I guess I can't control how people feel about others. And we should look forward in life and treasure what we already have!


**: Ohmygosh! I didn't know relatable is not an English word! See, one thing I learn from writing today!
