Hows about lunch?

Health and skin

Consider these skin-friendly foods: 

• Carrots, apricots, and other yellow and orange fruits and vegetables 
• Spinach and other green leafy vegetables 
• Tomatoes 
• Blueberries 
• Beans, peas and lentils 
• Salmon, mackerel and other fatty fish 
• Nuts 
• ALSO: Avocados, citrus fruits, whole grains

Remember, many of the best foods for healthy skin also promote good health overall. Rather than focusing on specific foods for healthy skin, concentrate on a healthy diet in general. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Choose low-fat or fat-free dairy products. Include nuts, seeds and beans in your favorite meals. Opt for whole-grain breads and pasta. Limit sweets. Strive for variety as you're making healthy choices.

DE-FRIZZ your hair!! Naturally

Hey guys, its been a while since i wrote a natural remedy . but here is the latest one:



Rinsing your hair with something other than your shower water can work wonders!
1. Carbonated water rinse. If you often let your curls air dry, this is a great remedy to eliminate hair frizz caused by humidity. After you wash your hair, give it a final rinse with carbonated or sparkling water. The reason carbonated or sparkling water reduces frizz is because of it’s low pH level.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar. This is another great natural remedy that is very effective in preventing frizzy curls. The procedure is very much like the process above with the carbonated/sparkling water. Wash your hair as you normally would and give it a final rinse with equal parts water and apple cider vinegar. Another great benefit of apple cider vinegar is shine!
3. Beer. Beer is another great rinse option, and ranks third on our list of unconventional no-frizz tips. Beer replenishes moisture in your hair. Dark beers often provide the most nutrients and moisture. When doing the rinse, simply coat your hair with them and let it sit for a few minutes. When ready, rinse your hair with cold water—which will also help get rid of the smell.

ALSO You can pack the nutrients into your own conditioners. Check out our recipes!
4. Mayonnaise and Avocado Conditioner. Here is a recipe is a very effective natural conditioner for dry, frizzy hair. Mix 1 cup of mayonnaise with 1/2 avocado until you have a paste. Rub it on your hair and cover your head with a plastic cap. Wrap a hot towel around it. Leave it on for 20 minutes and wash. Repeat once a week for better results.
5. Coconut oil or olive oil. Oil is your frizz-free friend—maybe even your best no-frizz friend. Oils are a great sealer or conditioner. Check out this recipe for oil conditioner: begin by heating up one cup of olive oil or coconut oil in a glass jar. Apply this mixture throughout all of your hair, evenly distributing it. Cover your curly hair with a shower cap and wrap a hot towel around your head to increase moisture absorption. Keep on for around 30 minutes, rewarming your towel as needed (you’ll need constant heat). Shampoo and rinse your hair with cold water. Do this three times a week for the best results.

Closed eyes, fingers typing. This is what i Think

Its a whirlwind of : I love and forgive myself for my past mistakes, but which self do i forgive? the younger me , or the ever maturing woman version i have become. Since change is explained with the theory of : i can do anything i set my mind to do. how come i cannot forgive myself. how come i grill my mind , mull over questions with no answers i know. but i twist and turn in my own turmoil, hoping that one day after the endless suffering a light can go out, and i can say i give up.


Cosmic Wishes for a better Tomorrow,

Happy Birthday to the Greatest Woman in the Universe: MUM

I spent so much time trying to not be like you because i wanted my individuality, until i realised i was you. I am so proud of having you as a mom, i love you beyond comprehension beyond belief. i sincerely cannot go on with out you. may god always keep you close and around. you are my everything. my absolute everything.

Yesterday was my mother's birthday, she was as beautiful as always.

I am Afraid

Would you consider me insane, if i said i dont know myself?
Had i been asked this question 2 years ago i would've answered with a full and complete description. but since then so many things have changed. I have grown older(surely agewise) but i know for a fact that soul wise and mentally i havent aged a day. Although i need to say that this maturity thing (while me being an extremist) has taken a very wrong and BORING turn.

I will not express my dislike for it, but i will say that i am upset. at myself perhaps, upset at my mind yes. I am simply Upset, Sahar is somewhere inside me, i hear her but she is as frightened as a deer. i cannot convince her that her fears are unfounded.

funny thing is that i am aware that those fears are without merit, i am aware that those fears are unfounded and i acknowledge that, but sahar regardless insists on hiding.

Hiding, such a weak word. but oh so many connotations linked to it. Hiding. flowers and their buds hide in winter, bears hide in winter as well. but winter is so beautiful , pure, yet at the same time destructive. however, not permanent.

change is not permanenet, sure you dont go back to where you started, but that change you reach, is also altered later on, and that alteration is also altered again. so really change isnt permanent. yet why does it feel like my change has been permanent and its heading in a direction i would fear for whatever life i still had in me.


Love,

A.

Let Go

After some serious time out and meditation, I realized the key to freedom from the past. A way to achieve sustained and serene mental peace There is no magic formula to it. It's really all about Just Letting Go OF THE PAST. Just LET IT GO...

Every time something happens that agitates you, just be glad nothing worse happened and LET IT GO

Every time someone tries to put you on the spot, bless them for spending so much energy on you and just LET IT GO

 Whenever you make a mistake or falter somewhere, its o.k., pick yourself up and LET IT GO

 Whenever You achieve some great feat or great goal, Good for you, don't hold on to it and become egotistical. Be modest and humble and thank god for the strength and then LET IT GO, As well.

 Every time something happens that makes you feel fearful, anxious, uncomfortable, depressed or unhappy. Just remember all the good times you had in your life and LET THE BAD GO.

Now I know that letting go can be difficult and to be honest, initially it is. But there were two things that really cemented the power and thought of "LETTING GO" in my mind.




Acknowledge . Accept. Forgive. Let Go.



Love. A,

Humans See The world outside themselves. Alienated From our consciousness, we see whats supposed to be inside us as outside, we are strangers to the world.we are constantly in a blurry of confusion of deadlines, expectations and reality. When will it stop? I guess it would stop when you remove yourself from the insistent nagging of life. Yes life nags on you, in different means. It nags with lies...
