 Oil pull for mouth

Try oil pulling every morning once you wake up. It is an age-old remedy that uses natural substances to clean and detoxify teeth and gums. It has the added effect of whitening teeth naturally and evidence even shows that it is beneficial in improving gums and removing harmful bacteria.The basic idea is that oil is swished in the mouth for a short time each day and that this action helps improve oral health.Get more info in this video

Living with Less

I personally feel everybody should chose to live life with less. The world leaves a constant impression on us to view everything materialistically ,to have the latest brands of clothes ,makeup ,to buy cars and even more.Why not look into  areas in your life where you can create simple ways to instill the motto "less is more".

Wardrobe
As you can see in the above picture ,I decided to keep  clothes which really give me a nice fit and which comes with a wide color range and bold patterns.By organizing lesser clothes  you can actually keep track of the existing clothes you already have and do not have to splurge on expensive clothes blindly.Thereafter you would feel more inspired to take better care of your clothes and maximise the use of your favorite pieces by styling and mixing them with different hues and patterns.In the end you create your own fashion and you don't feel an overwhelming pressure when you are getting ready.
Eventually having a better focus in buying clothes.

Makeup
As for makeup  ,seriously girls you don't have to rush to your nearest Sephora, every time new products are launched.Let your skin breathe girls.Why not go natural,it works trust me.Guys are not going to run after girls with a cake face,eventually guys do not even care !!! My guy does not see a difference in me when i wear the newest foundation from Bobbi brown or even when I wear a different colour lipstick.He only knows I eat like a pig ,know nuts about soccer,love to buy bags and ultimately scream at him 24/7 when he does not pick up the phone hahaha. Keep a small makeup bag which holds the makeup essentials.This makeup should be enough to give you a fresh face to start your day confidently.

Skincare
Skincare is a essential part of  our life cause ultimately your skin is the foundation to making you feel confident regardless of makeup or new clothes.Not many are blessed with great skin,so it might  take few extra products or treatmnets to  resolve the problem. But I personally feel nature have the ability to heal our bodies both internally and externally.Try not to buy alot of products with chemicals.I have started trying oil cleansing as a start.Check out my Morning Skincare Routine Update 2015 post for more details.My morning routine only consist of 2 products which for me  lesser products give better,lasting results in the end.

Almond oil Cleanser

I am keeping it pretty simple for my morning skincare routine as I believe in a fast and smooth morning.Every morning I will use my 100% pure almond oil and start my oil cleansinging routine,simply by massaging it into my skin in a upward motion.Then  I will take my favourite pink cloth and do a warm steam on my face which will draw away the impurities.

Rose Water Toner

Thereafter I will use my rose water and spritz on my face as a toner.The rose water will take away any excess oil on my face and will give me the perfect dewy complexion in the morning.Furthermore it can also be used as a cleanser alone,so its serves as a double cleanser for me on top of  the oil.

Rose water helps in even fighting acne.It helps to hydrate,revitalize,moisturize and smooth out the skin.The antioxidant properties help to strengthen skin cells along regenerating skin tissues

So by just 2 products my face is cleansed,toned and moisturized for a fresh start.So I will suggest follow by the motto less is more.

Body Shop Mango Body butter and Pure cocunut oil Mix!!!

This combo gives moisture, brightness, healing, and glow.

Outing with my cute niece and my glowy skin!!!!

Body Shop Mango Body butter and Pure cocunut oil Mix!!!

I have been trying this combination of mixing Body Shop's body butter with pure cocunut oil to moisturize my skin.I have seen great results ever since.My skin is more moist and supple.The coconut oil gives me a glow on my skin when I go out on a sunny day.It almost seems as if I have been drinking lots of water and having great skin but however its just the magic of these combo.I put on this combo every night after I have taken a warm shower.I directly slather it on when i finish showering as the pores  are still open,thus making it easier to absorb into the skin.The more I use these combo I have seen even my dead skin  coming out when I exfoliate,thus having brand new skin thereafter.

Body shop have a range of various thick body butters such as Coconut,Mango,Shea and many more.

Blending this with extra virgin cocunut oil have more benefits for skin.

My own inspirational space

Permission to take a week off from life…

In today's context life is really about going through rigid routines,following processes,waking up for work and even for housewives who work for the family from morning till night doing dishes ,washing and taking care of children.Now I want all of you to take a month off from life.take out that calender and book that month for yourself.This month is not for vacation or for any holiday.This month is for you which is the meaning of life.You are not going to spend a lot of money in this month or go for a expensive holiday. Save one month expense ahead and really guys do it.It is daunting but seriously live stressfree in that one month you will experience happiness and peace for your soul.

Live in your space

Live in that beautiful house that you have paid thousands of dollars to buy it or mortgage it.You have such a  beautiful roof over the top but still just live as a rental guest to sleep at nights after work from 9am to 6 pm..Now is the time to declutter your space,make it creative,paint it and organize.Personally I  make my space more inspiring by adding more plants,candles,a beauty rug by your bed so that your legs feel the warmth right when you step out of bed in the morning,bright colored curtains,form a small book corner,go ahead and fill it up with inspirational books and stories,Create a pretty side table by your bed to carry your essentials.

Cook to Cleanse your body

Start Cooking healthy from that  onwards,not only  eating healthy .Everyday learn new dishes and try new ingredients.Inspire your body by food.You have one body,treat it like a temple.Incoporate fruits and more greens into your meals.Organize and decorate your kitchen so that you can feel inspired to cook in it.

Cozy bin or Spa Bin

Cozy bin is where you put your most comfortable clothes in ,it’s a bin you grab when you are lounging at home,the clothes put in it have to be fresh and soft to help you feel comfortable for the whole week.

Organize and declutter

Take one area of your house at a time.Declutter and organize it so that it inspires you to be at home.

Have a Pamper day once weekly

I suggest do all natural,homamde masks to pamper yourself .

Read

Gain knowledge by books daily,no not only fiction love stories but non fictional books as well.Try reading books to improve lifestyles.

After oil cleansing 

Oil cleansing should be tried by everyone regardless of skin condition dry or oily .I have oily combination skin to begin with.

I was very intrigued by Oil Cleansing.Instead of using cleansers in the market which will strip off your natural oils on your face,why not use natural oils to remove makeup,cleanse,moisturize and lighten skin at the same time.At least have one product in your skincare routine to be totally organic Take control of what you put on your face.You can start just by your cleanser.

My friend and I went to buy some natural oils from our local shopping center Musatafa  here in Singapore located in Little India.

It was very cheap and we had a blast finding for different type of oils.We ended  up with pure sweet almond oil as she said it was an oil which was not going to clog up the pores easily.So we end up buying almond oil for only $4.20,which is very cheap considering living in singapore and compared to many commercial brands in the market.
