I am tagged!!

"Tag-O-Mania" is a fun and interesting activity which is doing rounds in the Blogosphere in which, when a person tags you, you have to complete a form like activity and then you have to tag 11 other blogs after completing your activities. This is a pass on game.

I've been tagged by DB (I call her so) of Divineblush - A Makeuphoalic Confession. She has a smart blog with full of make up tips and much more.

These are the Rules of the Game:

Rule#1: Put the rules on your blog.

Rule#2: Every person who is tagged in this activity should tell 11 things about themselves, then answer the questions asked by the person who tagged you, then tag 11 other people and ask them 11 different questions.

Rule#3: Let the people whom you tagged know you've done so.

Rule#4: Don't tag anyone who's been tagged before.

Rule#5: Really do tag 11 others; don't go all ''if you want to take this tag''.

Here come 11 things about me:

1. I like Kajal. I like to have those smoky eyes and do my own experimentation on Eye makeup. Even if    I am not an Eye-Makeup Person, I like Mascara, Eye shadow, Glitter etc.

2. I like pets, especially puppies and kitties. I own a 2 yrs old Black Pomeranian too.

3. I like Noodles, Dairy products and junk food aloooot.

4. I like listening to music all the time, every minute, every second  .While travelling, I use earphones. I feel so sad if I forget my earphones.

5. I am very short tempered. I can’t control myself if I come to know that I am cheated by somebody. The next thing that comes to my mind is nothing but revenge.

6. I love to have long hair. I have curly kinda hair, But not that lengthy. I go crazy for long hair. Even If I want it badly, I don’t take much care of my hair or don’t do anything to get long hair.

7. I love to collect natural beauty tips on everything from tip to toe. But I hardly work out them. Coz I am a lazy lady.

8. I like to have tea and coffee a lot. I can have them for a whole day. I like to experiment on different kinds of tea and coffee. And the only person who will have my specialized beverages is none other than me.

9. I am a day dreamer. I know none of my dreams will come true. But I dream alooooot, on anything, everything. And I talk to myself all the time. It’s the habit which I always wanted to stop. But I can’t.

10. I hate my own photographs. I am not photogenic. My friends always say that I am better in real than in pics. Nevertheless I try to get better snaps of mine.

11. I am more into reading blogs than writing my own. I explore the way each person designs their blog. The background, templates, font etc. of each bloggers come into my notice too.

And am passing the Tag to

1.   beautydiva
2.   Fictitious Fashion

I have an Oily Skin!!!

Yes, My skin is oily. And my skin is neither perfect too. I am trying new ways to improve my skin and make it a flawless skin.
Skin care starts by knowing what skin type You have. For an oily skin, there are some ingredients that one should avoid (eg. milk products). There is no big deal for having fries and eggs. You can have plenty of them, provided you have sufficient intake of fruits and vegetables.

A major advantage of Oily skin is that it is wrinkle free.. Yay!!!
But oily skin attracts dirt.

Must Have

• A cleanser
• A toner
• Steaming
• Multani mitti
• Citrus fruits
• Oats
• Almond
• Cucumber
• Tomato

Avoid 

• Honey
• Egg Yolk
• Milk Products
• Any Oil

Tips

• Wash face at-least Twice a day (Before going out and after goin out).
• Exercise to sweat enough
  

Steps of Skin Care:

• Cleansing: Oatmeal
• Moisturizing: Aloe Vera
• Toning: Egg White, Cucumber
• Exfoliate: Papaya 
• Calomine Lotion

Tadaaaa...!! You r Done. Now You are less prone to pimples and break outs. Stay Healthy!!!

Acne Myths & Treatments

Hey buds,

Today I received a mail from a social group to which I am subscribed to.

I came to know some acne facts. Thought to share it with You. Here it goes. . ... ..

Acne myths busted, facts uncovered, and treatment advised!

 

Top 10 Acne Myths

1. Acne is not caused by dirt. Acne is caused by hormones; mainly androgen 

and their effect on the oil glands in the skin. More specifically acne is caused by 

a disorder in the pilosebaceous units. The pilosebaceous units are found all over 

your entire body with the exception of the feet, lips and hands.

The majority of the pilosebaceous units are found on the chest, neck and face. 

In regards to whiteheads and blackheads the best treatment for these is 

consistent cleansing every night. 

Whiteheads and blackheads are not caused by dirt either so the consistent cleansing 

is to keep the dead skin cells sloughed off the blackheads and whiteheads.

2. Acne is for everyone; not just teenagers. Since acne is caused by hormones 

and their effect on oil glands in the skin it can affect adults as well as teenagers

 because adults have hormones too.

3. Treat the whole face not just the spot where the acne is. 

The acne that is showing is just a symptom of the underlying problem 

which is within the skin and the oil glands.

4. French fries, chocolate and other certain foods do not cause acne.

 Acne is caused by hormones; mainly androgen and their effect on the 

oil glands in the skin therefore food could not have anything to do with 

causing acne or acne breakouts.

5. Make-up is not the cause of acne; however avoid heavy make-up 

when sweating or working out. While make-up does not directly cause 

acne it is a very good idea to avoid heavy make-up period when you are 

sweating or working out. 

6. Tanning and sun exposure does not cure your acne. 

The myth that oily skin causes acne therefore drying out your skin 

will make the acne go away is not accurate. 

Tanning oftentimes does make people feel better about themselves 

and their skin that may be one of the reasons people feel acne is treated 

through tanning and sun exposure.

7. Scrubbing and exfoliating your skin will not make the acne go away. 

Acne is not caused by dirt; therefore scrubbing your face raw to get rid of dirt 

will only irritate your already sensitive skin.

8. One of the acne myths is that stress can cause acne in a roundabout way.

9. While acne is not curable it is treatable.

10. There is no proof that toothpaste applied to acne will treat the acne and make it go away.

Top 5 Acne Treatments:

 1.Benzoyl Peroxide is commonly used in treating mild cases of acne. 

 2.Differin which comes in the form of a gel or a cream.

 3.Accutane is a prescription acne medication that is used for very extreme cases of acne. 
 4.Tazarotene cream.

 5.Retin A and Retin A micro.

But to Keep skin Healthy I suggest the 3 basic Rules!!
(A) Eat Right
(B) Water, Water & Water
(C) Some Exercise

Need a Change...!!!

Hey all,
I don welcome changes. I love my life as it is. However I myself make my life complex.
U know how..? My complex thoughts... My mind is a 24*7 working machine with a lot of complex thoughts, dreams, hopes, imaginations....
My life is as simple as that with a small family, a small job and a small circle of friends. But Life was full of fun during my college life. Now I miss that "Fun Factor".

A daily routine (From Home to Office & from Office to Home) has made my life super boring. I travel about more than 2 hours a day. I don't have a chance to meet new people. But I come across a lot of people daily. Some familiar faces, some new faces, some smart faces.. :) I think its the only part interesting in my daily routine. Yea I luv traveling now. It has changed my daily life from most boring to more boring...!!
Watever I prefer some tips like listening to music, scribbling, but of the most thinking of new ideas to spice up life like before!!
Hope to say that one day I will be the most cheerful girl in this world.
 I would be happy enough to tell U that How I achieved it..!! Its Simple... I always think about a change but never work for it.. and even a change or something unusual to my life happens, I give it a Cold Welcome.. :(
But now I feel that I am losing one of the best time of my life.. My spinster life!!!
To add up the missing essence of my life,
I need a Change...!!!
I want a Change...!!
And @last I welcome A CHANGE..!!!
Or else Life will change Me, My Mind which I don't want now..!!
Music,Beauty and a lot more of Drama give a superb life, I guess.
Again confused? I was talking about REALTY SHOWS which I am addicted to!!! Anyways with a nice foot note, I wind up ma post. See Ya buds  <3

CHANGE IS INEVITABLE

Crazy Background

Hii buddies, When I started creating the blog, the things which made me crazy are those templates and themes. I liked every theme. Still I was not sure to use which one. I tried out almost every template and theme. I wanted something crazy which should portray my blog's energy..

And while I was searching for an image to be presented behind my Blog Title, I came across an image here.Here it is..

I edited and cropped the image. Then I uploaded a green heart image so that it can be friends with ma blog title.

 But it was not that impressive.Suddenly an idea struck me when I thought why not my blog shall fill with full of hearts?? Since my school days, I had a unique quality of drawing perfect hearts..!! I always had a love for heart collections:)
And I selected the very same green heart and made it the crazy theme of my blog..YAY!!!:) Isn't it Crazy & Cool....???
I wanna say that my buddies can get cool themes right on Sweet Tweet and get some new ideas..!!!
