You'll be quite out of reach for now
but someday soon we'll be together again
and with a wavering smile on my face,
I'll gladly introduce myself once again

Instead, I went for the Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser which has quite a different formulation compared to the Neutrogena but still is a great alternative. The Milky Jelly Cleanser feels exactly like how it sounds. It is very moisturizing on the skin, leaving you this very soft texture after rinsing instead of a clean but tight skin.


Something to take note is that it has a very strong scent of rose, which I actually expected since the second ingredient on the bottle says so. It smells exactly like my L'Occitaine Rose Shea Balm, which I really love. So for those who are not big fans of the said scent might want to opt for a different product. Nonetheless, Glossier's Milky Jelly Cleanser is great choice.

Be more Pro-Nature

Last February 15, I was invited to attend to an event by The Body Shop, where we were thought really helpful tips and hacks for our daily skincare routine. The highlight of the workshop is basically having a multi-purpose product in your routine. They introduced us to their newest Raw Shea Butter from Ghana. Shea butter has long been an ingredient abundant to their collections but this new release proves to be much better.

The raw shea butter could be mixed to all of the basic products in your home in order for you to create a product that could add a little omph to your routine, and I am here to share a few of those hacks to you.

1. Mix a scoop of a raw shea butter to your previous body wash to create a much more softening and glowing effect after your shower. It seriously leaves my skin more moisturized and a bit brighter than normal.

2. You could also have a quick dash to your kitchen and mix shea butter to you ordinary sugar or salt to create a moisturizing scrub for your chapped lips and body.

3. Warming a little amount of raw shea butter in your palm until it melts and mixing it with coconut oil could also act as an overnight hair mask for your hair that will boost the natural waves and adds a healthy glow to it.

To be honest, I am really delighted to have a raw and natural product added in my skincare routine because it eliminates the harmful effects brought to us by the chemical ingredients from the products we ought to love and use. Would highly highly recommend you to try the raw shea butter, a guaranteed worth the price!

So in denial yet so unkept
When inside are words always left unsaid
Might seem as calm as a baby or a sea
But instead is charge waiting to be free

As steady as a lake
As boisterous as a gong
An entrenched feeling
Which defeated me for so long

Another chapter have gone by past everyone's lives but most especially mine.
A page was torn from my book which seemed to have a chapter that lead to an unexpected ending.

Hi, this is me checking in after months of not posting anything here. I originally planned a short social media break in the late October which lead to a lot of realizations. I eventually went back online on other platforms but can't seem to find the courage to return here.

I was afraid and confused.

Afraid of judgement from writing mundane topics for the past couple of months. I started questioning my intentions and rekindle my love for writing. I know I'm not the most creative writer you know but I started my blog as an outlet for my creativity and emotions in the first place. I'll admit though, that I also enjoy sharing lifestyle content but I felt guilty about them. I felt as if my blog lacked poetry I onced was super passionate about.

So this 2019, one of my resolutions is to solely create content that I am passionate about. Whether it's a new skincare product I've been loving or a short passage I wrote on my commute, I'll make sure to share it, proudly.
