What is a friend?

Well, a friend is someone who is loyal toward you. They never complain about you or your appearance. They are grateful kind and try not to fight with. They'll keep the promises they make either most of the time or all of the time or at least they try to, no one is perfect you know! They don't  act as if they are better than you. And they should never show jealousy anger or hatred towards you. Well, they should try not to. They shouldnt try to use you. You would be able tell, trust me. They would look after you when you're upset or miserable or ill or just alone. They would include you in something if you haven't got no friends to hang out with and if she's doing something special. If your friend does some of those things or most of those things or even all of those things it proves that she cares about you. If she doesn't do those things, if she doesn't treat you like a friend then you shouldn't you thing twice about her?

Tips on how to get dreamy hair!

 Ok so probably every girl wants the perfect look and figure, but have you even thought about your hair? Well today I'm here to help you treat your hair and start caring for it more. So here are a couple of tips on how to get this!

TIP 1=  So this is two things in one, keeping a healthy diet, this comes under every category of keeping yourself beautiful but healthy at the same time. So eat your proteins, vitamins, fibres but if you're like me who craves for carbohydrates, then we'll have to cut them down but fruits and veg we'll never have to cut them, unless you eat too much of them. If you eat more fruit and veg then your daily meals, then you'll start getting ill, for example, you have a packet of oranges and you eat them all at the same time then you'll get effected most in the digestive system, and that's not what we want. Water you can drink as much as you like, but don't drink it too much you wanna go to the toilet every 5 minutes! This tip will hydrate your hair naturally to give it that shine you strive for.

TIP 2= moisturising and cleasing your hair is just as important as hydrating your hair to give you healthy looking hair. Hence the reason shampoo was invented. To moisturise and clean your hair of all the bad bacteria that's fallen onto it. You should massage your shampoo right to the tips of your roots and ends of your hair. Oh and don't forget to rinse it out properly! Shampoo will help you halfway so do look at the directions on the back of the shampoo bottle to how to put it on properly.

TIP 3= If you have split ends try to get a shampoo for split ends and that will try prevent them, also keep a healthy diet and that should do some good.

TIP 4= Try to comb your hair but don't comb it too much otherwise your hair will get greasy. Ewwww!

“If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!”
― Rudyard Kipling, If: A Father's Advice to His Son

“I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.”

That surrender, even the smallest act of giving up, stays with me. So when I feel like quitting, I ask myself, which would I rather live with?”
― Lance Armstrong, It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life

“NEVER GIVE UP
No matter what is going on
Never give up
Develop the heart
Too much energy in your country
Is spent developing the mind
Instead of the heart
Be compassionate
Not just to your friends
But to everyone
Be compassionate
Work for peace
In your heart and in the world
Work for peace
And I say again
Never give up
No matter what is going on around you
Never give up”
― Dalai Lama XIV

How to prevent spots

Everyone has this problem especially in the developing years. It's very frustrating, but here are some tips and tricks to have your desired skin.




                                                             SPOTS- How do we prevent them?

First of all, water, when you drink lots and lots of water, remember you might have spots because you're not drinking enough water but having lots of sweets, candy, fizzy pop! Meaning don't eat any candy sweets chocolate crisps... JUNK FOOD until your spots start decreasing, but in the meantime gobble down fruit + veg, and especially WATER, don't forget the water bit!

Secondly, if you wear make-up before you sleep make sure every single ounce is wiped off your face, and be carful of makeup, if you wear cheap makeup discontinue using it because it might be irritiating your skin, also makeup is also a problem due to the fact it's just chemicals so the more makeup you wear the more chance of you having rough, jagged skin. You can wear makeup, it's just you need to be careful of your make-up, and be decisive of the makeup you choose to wear.

Thirdly, I know this might sound weird, but snail gel is also a trusted way of preventing spots. It's basically snail slime but don't worry it has been cleansed and purified, it's a transparent jelly substance, and I recommend you go check it out, again be careful of the brand you choose to wear, check the ingredients, and be sure if what you picked up from the shelf.

Fourthly, when excersising alot you start to sweat, sweating can also dry out your spots and gets rid of them. So guys get your trainers and start excersising!

Another thing, to prevent your spots is, hygiene! Do not touch your face when you have spots, it will spread bacteria and germs. So be hygenic with your spots.

If none of these work, then get antibiotics from your GP/doctor.

Hopefully, these will work so good luck! If they don't look on the internet for some more tips and treats! Facial washes should work too, so try them out as well!

how to have glowing skin using creams and moisturisers!

ok, usually fresh fruit and veg and water makes you look gorgeous and feel gorgeous. But Sometimes when you have the right one creams and moisturisers are fantastic too. Of course you should have your healthy protein and fibre and fruits and water etc x5 a day. But I've started using moisturiser and facail wash daily and my mum keeps telliing me that my face is glowing every night, and I'm quite shocked because I didn't expect it to be.

Anyway your skin needs to be clean AND healthy too and that's why exfoliating facial washes have been invented. If you wanna have glowing skin like I did then I'm still using it you know! THis is the one that im using: 

 

 

Currently this is the UK's no.1 leading face wash. I give it 5/5 stars it's fantastic, I have no problems with it and it inblocks my pores and wipes away all my dead skin cells. It's fantastic and I'm running out I need to get more!! It's soo good it's like food for my face. Mmmmm yummy!

Anyway, it's soo good I never stop using it. But remember it's a daily wash! The name of this product is... johnsons johnsons clean and clear exfoliating daily wash, it's a blue and white squeezy bottle, and they have a complete range! So, if you can, go check it out and create an opinion of your own. The good thing I really like about this is, it has micro beads (granule substance) that removes oils and dirts that could lead to blackheads and spots! So that's just perfect for me, but is it for you?

 

The other thing I use for my face is, a light moisturiser by SIMPLE, I only use light due to the face wash already making a brilliant glowy effect onto my skin. You don't want to have a heavy moisturiser as well as a heavy facial wash (unless you have sensitive-really sensitive skin), you want to even it out, otherwise your skin will take it as a burden and it will be too much for it too handle, especially if your skin is still developing, into mature skin. Remember this with everything, too much of one thing is really bad for you even it out as if it were a balanced diet :). Anyway, the moisturiser I use is this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Simple kind to skin hydrating light moisturiser 12 hr

 

Again this is fantastic, but don't use this on it's own, it's too light too be used on it's own (unless you have perfect skin/ close to perfect skin), use it with a facial wash or an effective toner or something that's a little stronger (not a lot stronger) than this. 5/5 for this too! Well done!

 

So yeah that's what I use to hydrate and beautify my skin, and I have to say it's a brilliant combination- fantastic! I really like this and I include in my morning routine. Oh yes, and the best way to apply this  is, firstly apply the facial wash (the instructions are on the back of the bottle with the ingredients), after you have completed that then you apply your moisturiser and massage section by section to get it right in there. And thats it, ooh and DON'T FORGET DON'T WASH YOUR FACE AFTER YOUR MOISURISER LET IT SINK IN. And that is in big letters so you don't forget!

 

 

I haven't finshed the next post is how to get rid of spots and blackheads etc

 

Yours, MEhnoor.M xx
