how to clean your brushes

washing brushes = washing face

washing your brushes is very important because you have all the oils, old make up, the sebum, dirt, it's all trapped on an uncleaned brush. the next day of applying it on your face again your applying all that germ, all that bacteria back on your face and you can actually breakout from that ( it always happens to me, and this is a lesson learned ^_-) so washing your brushes is extremely important.

i'm gonna show you how to properly wash and care for your brushes and disinfect it too. 

this method is used by painters and it works extremely well :)

the supplies are super easy and extremely inexpensive

anti-bacterial dish-washing liquid 

it removes every single thing on your brush. it removes pigments, removes oil, removes dirt and it also kills bacteria so it does all in one. dishwashing liquid will dry the hair of its natural oil and it's gonna dry out the hair.

  virgin coconut oil

or you may use virgin olive oil

so you want to recondition your brush so that's where virgin coconut oil comes in it.

  wired hanger

wooden clips or plastic clips

let's get started ^_^ 

pour the dishwashing liquid in the plate 

pour just a little bit of virgin coconut oil

 stir the brush in  a circular motion

 wipe it back and forth on your hand

you are removing all pigments and killing bacteria

rinse your brushes

warm water is fine (hot water will damage the brush)

squeeze out until the water is clear

now that you brushes are clean you just gonna wipe them dry with a paper towel

blot out excess water with a paper towel

 dry your brushes upside down

clip your brush in place

you can put them on your bathroom

after a couple of hours

let's check your brushes if they are totally dry :)

  and wow... look at how clean my brushes are now!!!

good luck

and let it rain and clear it out

Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him. 
You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how can still come out of it. When life offers you a dream so far beyond your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.

DIY nose pore strips

make your own pore strips

drug store pore strips are too expensive, and im gonna show you how to make your own pore strips at home.

ingredients needed:

 unflavored gelatine

 milk (any brand of milk will do)

 a little container

and a brush that you don't really use, or cheap brush that something you're not gonna miss

HOW to do it

one table spoon of unflavored gelo

one table spoon of milk, pour it in the container

 stir it up to be nice and chunky 

 puff it in the microwave or in my case in the oven for 10 seconds

it should look gluey

 wait for it to cool down a bit and try it on your hand and its ready

dip your brush and apply it on your nose

just wait around for 10 minutes for it to dry 

and we'll gonna peel it off whenever it dries

it picked up all the oil of my face and the dirt, it's so grose but it's cool to look at ^_^ 

so have fun getting grose out and goodbye to the pain from using pore strips

when you are done, use a good serum

so now your skin should feel refreshed ^_^

i'm with the LORD -happy sunday ^_^

I'm blessed to have this wonderful book... The first time I saw this in a bookstore I really told myself that this book is for me and this is mine.. The book reminds me that God is always with us in every journey we take. I've been in a heartache since God took my mom from my family :( right there and then I learned how to be strong and be independent.. but the struggles did not end there.. God has so many ways to test my faith, but then I also have so many ways to prove him that I never forgot him... with all the challenges I and my family are facing right now I choose to continue believing to God.. I promised to become more closer to Him and dwell upon Him.. I believe that God loves me,he may not comfort me in flesh but indeed he provided me with another person on his behalf to comfort me.. and I thank Him for giving me Kier.. Kier motivates me to have hope and not to give up and pray more to God.. God's instruments never fails.. I know that my countless prayers will soon be answered by the Lord... In the right and perfect time :)
Thank you Lord ^_^

one, two and three

It's not just about the place and the food we eat, but it's about the chance of being with a friend again.

Rio and me.. we're always together these days because we work at the same office, but there is something, someone missing, and it's literally missing the companion of Chrislyn... we barely see Chrislyn these past few months and it took us forever to see each other again.. 

But here it is, here we are.. we are still the one, two and three... nothing has change on how we gossip, laugh  and treat each other.. we are still best friends!!!

Rio and I also had a chance to meet Chrislyn's other half and as a friend I'm happy for her ^_^
