Who's beautiful

Who's beautiful?

Actually, everybody is.

If you think that you are ugly and you want to be beautiful, it starts with believe that you are beautiful and do not let anybody to doubt it including yourself.

Keep your head up, never fade your smile on your lips, no matter what other say nasty things about you.

If you want people to love yourself, you start it from you, you got to love yourself first.

Love yourself means love to do what is good for your body and mind.

Being confident about your body and image doesn't mean that you can stuff yourself with junkfoods all the time. Sometime you have to sacrifice your money and time to give your body what it deserves- healthy meal and enough exercise.

Take a relaxing bath, keep your face clean and radiant, laugh moderately, eat vegetables and fruits, walk by beach, do a stretch before go to sleep, read interesting books, hug your family and friends.

And do you know that by loving yourself, it's actually you are being thankful for Who made you, Allah?

By taking a good care of your body, it means that you are preparing yourself to worship Allah more and be a strong believer. Allah loves strong believer.

So stop complaining about what you don't like about you.

Stop being jealous of others who are born beautiful or became beautiful by their efforts.

Stop saying negative things to other like "She's skinny because genetics", "Oh he is just born smart", "She has radiant complexion because she's naturally fair and uses expensive creams".

Everybody is beautiful, except for negative people.

Smile.

And see.

You are beautiful!

What I carry around (summer)

Today was quite hot, even it wasn't as hot as yesterday. I wore abaya to uni, because I thought it would be nice wear loose clothes. I got good comments from my friends, they didn't know that it is an abaya, they thought it as a dress or one piece! Maybe they don't know that black dress which Arab women always wear comes in other colour and designs as well. I wore purple denim-like abaya with salmon pink hijab, and paired them with gold buttoned navy jacket and boots. My Italian teacher gave me compliment about my hijab, he liked the colour!

Since summer is just around the corner and it gets hotter lately, I make a pouch to put things that I will need to keep me fresh and smell nice.


from left above, pocket tissues that I got for free, Clinique lipstick, glosses, deodorant sheets, hand creem, Body Shop's perfume, mirror that my dad bought in Moscow, spray to eliminate odour from clothes, mini Clinique powder and sunscreen with spf24.

All of them in big Peach John pouch (which I got it for free, again) like this.


I love summer but hate to sweat and to smell bad. :(

My skin care routine

Ok, hari ni nak post banyak sikit sebab dah bape hari ntah tak update2. For this entry, I want to write something about my skin care products. After and during my spring break, my skin become quite sensitive and not smooth as usual (ala selalu pun bukan smooth sangat pun!, I mean if I compare to my skin's usual condition, it got worse), maybe due to late night CSI series and blogging, and I didn't take care of it as much as when I'm living by myself. I ate a lot of oily, junk, unhealthy yummy foods, and didn't remove makeups throughly because I didn't bring back proper cleanser. Memang horror gila la kulit time cuti and lepas balik tu. For these days, I was searching what can I do to repair my poor skin. I noticed that my dry patchy skin will be less patchy if I give more moiture instead of pulling the dead skin off using mask.

So, this is what I am using for cleansing my face:
Ghassoule!



Well, because it is a kind of mud, and it is mud, I thought it7s function is like absorbing excessive oils and make skin look matt, aka drying. But this mud is not. It's really moisturizing that you will doubt is it true that it is mud because it's like a cream, makes your skin sooooo soft and nice!

Tapi agak leceh nak guna benda ni as pencuci muka sebab you have to put some water and wait until it's soft first. Take only 2 to 3 pieces and put them to a small container, put enough water to make them soft, but not too much because it will be difficult to apple to face when too soft. Tak payah nak gosok2 or sental2, cukup sekadar buat pusingan secara lembut je. Leave for 1min, then rinse. You will be surprised how soft your skin is. InsyaAllah, ;)

I read on internet that gassoule is actually has been used in Morocco from long long time ago just like soaps. People use it to wash face, hair and body. I use it to clean my U zone and my body but not brave enough to use it as shampoo! I pernah kena botak sebab main pasir and pasir masuk dalam celah2 rambut and jadi gatal2 n kudis. Walaupun masa tu saya sangat la kecik and tak ingat pasal tu, tapi still cuak nak tuang lumpur kt rambut! hehe. Tapi ghasoule ni memang bes la. Cam tak caye je ia adalah tanah liat. Macam losyen jek.



And beside of dry sensitive skin, I have another problem since I was much younger. The blackheads and whiteheads. I hate them. Super hate them. Especially the black one. Nak jadikan cerita la kan, my mom bought me this amazing set to fight this!

This set includes a cleanser, tinted moisturizer and the famous blackheads sebum gel!
bliv by Cellnique, it was quite pricy a little bit for a student like me, but it is worth the price because this set is not that small, even though it's written there "travel size". I have been using this for 5days, and I can say that it reduce blackheads a little bit. Want to wait more 9days to see the result!
