Standard

Hi my Readers 🙂

Since we are living this chaos and since many of us in the whole world are at home, I think that this is the perfect time to perfect our eye makeup game.

We all are wearing masks (if you aren’t and you are out and about, get one!) and all everyone can see is our eyes. Then why not work on our eye makeup game? Now is the time to burn some steam off while practicing our eye makeup.

Here are some amazing people that already are doing amazing:

Hopefully I included as much as I could remember and I will add more as they came up 🙂

You already know how I feel about the neutral makeup.

Don’t be afraid to experiment! Now is the time to loosen up for the future! Use some color. If you don’t like it – you can always wash it off and try another color. Don’t be afraid to be yourself! We can see how short life is. Why not make the most of it!

I hope everyone is safe and are doing ok during this chaotic times!

Wishing you amazing day!

Decreasing sugar intake

Standard

Hi my Readers
Another inner-beauty related post. This one is going to be about sugar intake. The processed one.

As someone that used to drink the coffee with 3 and a half teaspoons of sugar, now I can see that that was kind of addiction to sugar. Once I’ve noticed that, I tried to decrease it. It wasn’t easy but I did it.

How I started

I tried Natreen – it took some getting used to but it was helping. I don’t remember how much I was taking but it was a lot – which was still bad. But over time – I decreased it so much that eventually started to drink my coffee without sugar. Tea – also without sugar anyway because with sugar you can’t taste the real smells and aromas of it.

If I knew about stevia which I think is way better than natreen because it was natural, I would have tried that instead.

How I continued it

Was eating everything else. Unprocessed sugars were more than OK. I ate cakes, chocolates and sweets. As long as I didn’t ate too much it was OK because my body didn’t crave it as much as it was.

After that? 

I’ve noticed that I wasn’t craving sugar anymore. I made different kind of coffees and were perfectly ok for me to drink them without any sugar.

I noticed that my body changed and didn’t look like I was bloated anymore. My hands weren’t looking as chonky 😀 and my face din’t look as puffed. I also seen difference on the side of my waist and the stomach.

Why Am I writing this now: 

Because I’ve noticed that> I started drinking my coffee with ice cream (I drank a lot because I was working, constantly chugging coffee to keep me energetic and started adding ice cream to cool it down faster so I cat just chug it right away). I also started to put little amounts of chocolate in my instant coffee. Since then, I started wanting sugar more and more. I’ve noticed that it is starting to affect my mass and with this isolation thing going on – it is very noticeable to me.

Lately, since I can’t turn to natural remedies that help my energy, I started using coffee as substitution to them and I’m not enjoying as I used to. I decided to dial it back and make it an event, rather than just an energy boost.

Something to keep in mind: 

It is not considered good to cut it all at once because it can cause shock to the organism.

 

Another post I’ve made about this type of things is Quick tips on drinking more water

 

With this I am sharing a photo that I did a while back that contains no edits or filters (only made it little for those with laggish devices to be able to open it – like I do for every photo I upload here and am aware that sometimes I compromise the HQ of the photo).

Writing and expressing

Standard

Lately, I really wanted to write, but I’m having hart time finding the inspiration. So, apparently, I am making inspiration up.

I used to enjoy writing very much. Used to be really good and wrote interesting short stories. And my style was (and still) is good. Was even published in one of the local newspapers. It was when for a short period of time I didn’t have internet at home and went to an internet cafe to send it to the newspaper. And they published it. I got a lot of attention from my teachers and people were stopping me on the street to express their gratitude that someone picked an interesting subject to be the center of attention.

I got many of my stories shut down with many domains taken down because of lack of funding. I had few of them on a fb profile that now is locked. I had many on a forum. But al of them are not available to me anymore and I think that discouraged me to make more of them. I am especially sorry for one of them and got a lot of attention from many people.

I thing that is the reason why I choose to write about a (for me) distracting and not that important thing – like this blog.

I miss creativity. A lot! The current situation with my creativity is limited to my clothing that I don’t have place to wear it – even before the world shut down. I really want to express my inner spark through my creativity but from day to day that is looking more and more impossible because some peoples minds are very limited and „outside the box“ is less and less appreciated. After a while, living in a place that appreciates nothing except sheeps that are taken to a voting poll and poltroons that exist only for politics and to get by. I am very offended by that! And it is really taking toll on my health. Because:  what is creative soul without a place to express it!
