Why hello hello! It's been a long time. I thought that I would make it up to you guys by presenting you with another post. A side note, I would be on hiatus until the end of May. Thank you for being patient with me.
Let's get on with the topic of the day.
Yogurt, some people love it and some hate it. I used to detest plain yogurt but I learned to love it by adding it with a drizzle of honey. I have been eating Greek yogurt for the past 6 months. The brand of the yogurt was Farmers Union Greek Yogurt.
I did a random test by avoiding it for 2 months and I noticed a big difference it had on my skin. I stopped having random breakouts. My only conclusion to this discovery was that the milk used to make the yogurt contained hormones.
To further reconfirm my assumption, I noticed that organic milk does not cause me to break out at all. I have been consuming organic skim milk for approximately one year.
If you guys are having random breakouts and you don't know the reason to it, try consuming organic milk products and see the effects it has on your skin.
Normal milk products contains plentiful of hormones, additional and artificial flavouring. When ingested, the hormones might disturb your body's natural hormones and cause reactions such as breakouts, eczema and etc.
Some of my tips when purchasing yogurt:
1. Avoid buying flavoured yogurt. It contains a lot of unnecessary sugar, artificial fruits and flavouring. Instead, get natural or plain yogurt (organic).
If you like to add some pzazz to your yogurt, add some slivered almonds, drizzle of honey and some fruits. :)
2. Go organic even when it's pricier, it will do your skin wonders.
P.S - Instead of consuming normal yogurt (non-organic), you could purchase it to apply it on your skin instead. I mentioned the advantages of yogurt as a hair and face mask treatment previously. Check it out (here). :)

Hello!
I don't know about you guys but in Malaysia, it seems like everyone is getting the flu. And.. that makes me pretty paranoid.
Based on my perspective, a healthy body translates to a beautiful and glowing face. So you guys gotta take care of your health by getting enough rest and drink plentiful water.
One trick that I always find really helpful when I am on the brink getting sore throat is to have couple of sips of salt water before going to bed. According to mostlyherbs.com, salt water has natural antiseptic properties.
I did a "Salt Water" post a year ago on the multipurpose use of salt in the beauty department. Check it out (here).
As a recap on how to make your own sore throat remedy:
1. Scoop out 1 teaspoon of salt (preferably Himalayan salt or sea salt) into a cup.
2. Add in warm water till it is 1/4 cup full.
3. Have couple sips of it before going to bed.
Don't worry if there's any salt water left as you can now use it as a salt toner! ;)
Another trick I noticed is that exercising really helps to keep me healthy. Try doing your best to exercise 3-4 times a week (15 minutes each).
Moreover, having sufficient sleep (7-9 hours) really makes a lot of difference. I have been surviving on 5-6 hours of sleep for the past month. I noticed that I get colds easily and ample of muscle aches. I tried sleeping 8 hours the other night and WOW. The next day when I woke up, my muscle aches just vanished into thin air.
Another benefit of being well rested is that I noticed that I am likely to be more positive and energetic. I noticed that my shoulder angel resonates much more clearly when I have sufficient rest.
This is a side info but did you guys know that having lack of sleep causes your breath to reek? I get super self conscious that happens. My final resort is to gargle my mouth with my homemade mouth rinse before I step out of the door. You can check that out (here).
Also, I advise you to drink plenty of water throughout the day if you have lack of sleep. I noticed that for me, my breath doesn't smell as bad if I consistently drink water. And a plus point to that is that I meet my 2 liters quota of the day.
I would love to hear how does my tips and tricks work for you so please do leave any of your questions or feedback down below. Thank you for being patient with me. I shall talk to you guys soon!
