Au Naturale!

salaam.

Lately i've been telling my friends and anyone who cares to listen, that I drink and cook with my 'body cream'. Yes I do! I even apply it on my hair. So what am I talking about? >Olive Oil.

Extra Virgin Oil in a jar.

How did I decide I wasn't nt applying anymore chemicals on my interior and exterior?. Lol. Well, I was staring at my cosmetic shelf one afternoon. Toomany products. The mere thought of those products being harmful as a result of their components gave me stomach ache. I picked a bottle of my moisturiser, scanned through the ingredients. Nothing seemed natural. So I got curious and carried-out a research online for natural alternatives and I was wowed at the result.

Just like this quote I read somewhere "if you can't eat it, don't use it on you skin". Coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil became my besties. Plus this feeling that i actually know what i am applying on your skin, makes me feel smarter. Lol. Same thing I did with my bathing soups. Substituted them for the good ol African black soap.

Suddenly the sun doesn't feel as hot as it used to. Especially on my face. My skin is well moisturised and it looks and feels younger and silkier. Make-up comes off easily. And oh! My lashes and brows are thicker now. Finally! I just love this feeling I get, knowing that i'm keeping skin cancer and other 'yama yama' diseases at bay.

Try it out. I'm sure you'll thank me. Don't forget to tell me what you think on the comment box.
Peace!!

Fruit Mix

Hi.

Take a brief second and just flow with me on this one.

So, I was thinking about this -what if the fruits and vegetables that grow in each season are just God's way of telling us what we ought to be eating all year?

Yep! I know that sounds weird but, flow with me still.

I feel that if we feast on the fruits and vegetables harvested each season, there would be less pollution in the world and less diseases as well.

*fruits and vegetables for the cold season to help us prevent cold-related illnesses.

*fruits and vegetables for the warm season to help keep our bodies fresh and healthy. 

Till my next post, think about this and tell me what 

you think on the comment section.

Peace!!

The Ideal Woman.

Asalaamu Alaekum!

In my opinion, i'm going to be writing about some attributes and characteristics that the ideal woman should posses. So Enjoy. 

 Learn Something Good Everyday: I disagree slightly with the popular saying that "one should learn something new everyday". Learning something new doesn't necessarily mean learning something of positive use to you. Learn something good as it relates to your health,family,career,faith and generally about life. Making this a part of you, will keep you refreshed, empowered and younger everyday.

Remember You are a Woman: Never forget this please. I know most times life's everyday struggles tend to make you feel like we aren't. But as you are busy with succeeding in your career and academics you should also work-on your main success as a woman. Which often times has nothing to do with career and academics. Forgetting this fact will only make woman compete with their Male counterparts. An unhealthy competition because their Male counterparts are fulfilling their rights and responsibilities as Men which are very different from a woman's responsibilities.

Know When to Stop: Women all over the world are always busy doing one thing or another, either in thier homes or places of work trying to make the world a better place. But it's important to know when your body needs rest and time to replenish it's lost energy. If you don't rest and recharge, how will you carry on? Take a time-out once in a while, let someone else handle the world's problems, even if it's just for a minute. Take a walk, play your favourite song, anything, you don't have to empty your wallet to find something that will help you relax.

Take Your Health Seriously: Smiling is your best facial exercise. Do that often. Your stomach is not a dumpsite so not just anything should go in. Take just 10mins to exercise everyday. Laughter is you best friend. And learn to accept the things you can't change in any situation.

While there is still soomuch to share, i'd rather stop here for now. See you next time.
Peace!!!
