I just recently decided to go all-natural when it comes to beauty and wellness. I had realized that I really don’t like lotions, but I like using oil before or after taking a bath, and that my face breaks out when I use moisturizer, but flakes up when I don’t. So because of my beauty problems, I thought up this beauty regimen that I hoped would solve these.
Before I take a bath nowadays, I would slather on oil, then scrub my skin. Or else, after scrubbing, I would slather on some oil then just soap and rinse off the excess oil when I find that my skin is too oily. After a couple of days, I noticed that my skin is softer, more even, and even smoother.
As for my face, since it is too sensitive for the usual facial creams, I decided to go back to oatmeal paste. Oatmeal, you see, eases allergies and other itchies. What I would do is that I would put oil and raw oatmeal mixed with a bit of water, then massage it onto my face. After a few massage strokes, I would get my small loofah scrub and then scrub my face with Dove soap, the kind for extra-sensitive skin. After I rinse, I would make another raw oatmeal and water paste, then leave it on my face for around five minutes.
All this while, I am treating my hair with do-it-yourself hot oil cream and two other conditioners: one for damage control, and the other for hair fall control. When the five minutes are up, I rinse both my hair and my face. I come out of the entire process thoroughly refreshed and feeling pampered!
Because of what I do with myself, I realize that I don’t need to go to a spa, after all.
And yes, my hair is more vibrant nowadays, and my skin, which usually breaks out when I have my period, hasn’t had major acne this entire week. So does this mean my regimen works? I sure hope so!

Went to Barne’s and Noble today to drink a cup of Starbuck’s peppermint chocolate and to read MacWorld. I’ve just browsed through the first few pages when my daughter tugged my shirt to say “Dad, can you help me find Waldo?”. I knew what I was in for and I new I wouldn’t read my [...]
We all remember how good ‘ol mom would always remind us to “brush your teeth before going to bed, dear”, or “use toothpaste for heaven’s sake” or “would you please brush your molars too?”. It was good for mom to do that, if they didn’t I think half the world (or even more) would be [...]
