I'm sorry I couldn't upload the weekly update last week.. No No No! I wasn't doing wedding stuff, I was out on an office offsite: White water rafting trip in Rishikesh!!!! I'm back safe thank you for asking ;)
Just a tiny bit tanned.. but all my limbs are with me :D And while I was away my dear boy shifted to our new house where we would be staying after marriage! Yeah! Don't suspect me of being a shirker.. it was all coincidental. No Really!
So I'm getting married in about 8 days from now. I think I should panic just about now.. but somehow.. that ain't happening. The feeling is just not sinking in, that next Sunday I'll no longer be single and free :P I would have been married and domesticated like a house cat (Ha ha! Funny even though I'm saying it for myself!)
I've also been suggested (repeatedly) to get something done to my face to look pretty for the day. Let me be very honest here, I tried but then got shit bored in the first sitting and decided to let the rest pass as the mental agony of sitting it through was way too much to handle. But it is also important to tell you why I got prompted to give it a shot to begin with: So before this month I had an absolutely clear skin. I had absolutely no pimples or any marks of any sorts on my face. But that mind you was not this month, come April somehow my body decided it had been easy on me for too long. All of a sudden breakouts! Face, neck everywhere! For a while I was hoping it would subside as naturally and unexpectedly as they showed up. But when that didn't happen I decided to take professional help. I did go to the salon with a solemn resolve that I would sit it through. But as mentioned above it took too much time and I don't have the patience. But then the pimples need to be taken care of, right? Of course! So I'll tell you how I decided to deal with them.
Step 1: Look at yourself in the mirror.
Step 2: Point to the pimples
Step 3: Say it out loud, You wont win this you pimples!
Step 4: Angry Face and stare
Step 5: Now it's just a matter of wits, wait and watch the pimples wither away with fear!
Easy breezy.. Isn't it? It works! This or may be the magical made at home potion that I smeared on my face a few times now. Given that this blog is a random nonsense blog and nothing I write here must make any sense I'm in a fix as to share or not to share the recipe for that perfectly smooth skin..Well what the hell! My blog, I decide what goes where. So here goes:
1. If you have rough and patchy skin, which recently recovered from acne like I did; tomato juice mixed with honey should be your choice of magic. Believe me when I say this you would be surprised to see how smooth it becomes post this little trick.
2. Blemishes are a little tricky to handle, but this is the fix my Mom uses; Lemon juice and honey. This works too, but extremely slowly. You have to be really patient for this to show results.
3. Smoothing out those summer acne; My tried and tested application fullers earth, sandalwood powder, mixed with rose water and some lemon juice. This not only clears up the skin but also refreshes you completely
4. For that completely white skin; This one is a bit drastic and I only use it when I have to look good at a very short notice. Just plain lemon juice, that's it! You wonder how can that be? Try pouring some lemon juice on your kitchen counter and see how the stone changes color. If it can do that to a rock, imagine what it can do to your face. But please be careful with this one, this could go both ways, once i had a raw pimple on my face when I slathered my face with lemon juice. The pimple burnt like crazy and the mark didn't clear. The lesson I got that day, this quick fix is for days when my face is pimple free. On other days I'll stick to the diluted version with honey it!
So I've chucked the salon and gone organic. But what interests me the most right now is the fact that I'm imparting beauty tips at 1 in the night 8 days away from my wedding day, tanned from a river rafting trip I went on when my fiance was working hard at shifting into a house that I would be comfortable in. Am I crazy or what?

ReplyDeleteBecause I have delegated the panicking (and packing as well) to my Mommie dearest :) .. Also, you are doing not too bad yourself in the panic dept. Me too would be a bit much.. Don't you think? :P
