Red Nail Polish

Whenever people ask me what I feel most comfortable wearing, I usually do not have an immediate answer because I believe people should be confident in his or her skin, bare and raw. However, I guess I never realized, until now, the reason behind the confidence behind a certain article of clothing or a certain wear of makeup. The person feels confident in that certain article of clothing because either he or she knows that he or she looks good or because that article holds a certain nostalgic meaning. Ever since I was younger, I feel most confident when I am wearing red nail polish. I never noticed it before, until someone pointed it out. Red nail polish is the first nail polish I have ever seen my mother wore and my aunt wore. It is the first color that I have ever painted on my nails at the meager age of 6. Sounds stupid, as usual.

I dislike the idea that depression is a side effect of cancer. In my opinion, depression is not a side effect of cancer. It is the side effect of dying. Even though some animals can detect mortality and/or feel sad when their offsprings die, I think humans have this weird quality. The thought of animals committing suicide lingers in my mind, and I apologize for the sad idea. It makes me wonder if they do commit suicide, not just willingly hurt themselves, or if they do feel depressed or of they do have a psychological condition of depression when they are ill or dying.

I also dislike the saying "it gets better." People say this phrase for bullying and unhappiness. Even though everything must come to an end, another must start. There will always be bullying in the world, but as a person, you get stronger for it. It never ends. It happens in adulthood, childhood, and in the elderly. It doesn't get. You get better.

Anti-Acne Treatments

As a teenage girl, I have problems with acne, and it tends to get on my nerves. So, when I just have nothing to do, I try out "home remedies", so I want to tell you what home remedies and homemade masks that actually work.

1. Cinnamon and honey mask
To make the masks, put three tablespoons of the type of honey of your choice (I like wallflower) in a microwave bowl/cup of your choice. Next, put in one tablespoon of cinnamon in, and mix. It should be thick and weird looking. After that, put the mixture in the microwave for ten seconds. The texture after heating should be less thick. Apply onto the face, and wait 5-10 minutes and rinse off.
I do not recommend this mask to sensitive skin because the cinnamon might be too abrasive. You can use it everyday, but no more than once a day. I use it a couple times a week.

2. Cinnamon, honey, olive oil, and sea salt mask
To make the mask, place one tablespoon of olive oil, two tablespoons of honey, and two teaspoons of cinnamon inside a microwable bowl/cup. The texture should be close to syrup. Next put it for five seconds in the microwave. Next, put in the sea salt in and stir. The texture should be in between water and syrup and gritty. Apply onto face for five minutes and rinse off. When you rinse it off, the seasalt will exfoliate your skin.
If you have sensitive skin, I recommend using fine salt or not adding salt at all. Depending how big the sea salt chunks you put in, the harsher the exfoliation. I recommend using it once a week.

3. Toothpaste
Dab onto any zit on your pimple, leave overnight. It dries out the zit and reduces the appearence.

4. Egg mask
Separate the whites from the the yolk. Whip up the whites and dab the foam onto your face. When you feel like you cannot move your face, rinse off. It gets rid of excess oil and brighten ups the skin. For the yolks, puncture the yolk, and apply onto face. When you cannot move your face, rinse off. It provides moisture to the face.

5. Eye drops
Apply eye drops to any red blemish or redness to any spot. It reduces the redness.

6. Coffee, berry, and avocado mask.
Mash up a half of an avocado, mash up a cup of your choice of berries (I like raspberries and blueberries), and mix it with two tablespoon of coffee (cold is better) and a tablespoon of coffee grinds. Apply to face and rinse off after 5-10 minutes. It is perfect for dry, irritated, and inflamed skin. Great for winter.

These are all of my home remedies that I know work well. Take care :).

I'm so glad to see you

Even though missing people seems torturous, seeing that certain person or those certain people makes you feel oh-so warm and fuzzy. I was so glad to hear from a person, since I have not seen them or hear from them in a long time.

Affect vs Effect; Who vs Whom

This most complicated things in life tend to be the easiest to understand, but the least complicated things in life tend to be the most difficult to understand. I do not know why, and I do not know how, but it is true.

Liars

As the saying goes "it takes one to know one." I cannot agree more because its true. From liars to cheaters to hypocrites, it really does take a knowledge of a person, no matter how miniscule or expansive, to know who is who.

Many people believe that this is not true, which I understand because I can be wrong.

Experience

Yesterday, I decided to go a water park. Although I am not a big fan of rides, crowded areas, or chlorinated water, I went because of funnel cakes, sun, and the ability to wear my bikini somewhere else other than the beach. Now, I am here, typing with my legs aching and a nice tan on my legs. I did not expecting anything, but a guy, outside of the bathroom as I was waiting for my sister, looking at me, straight at me. Now, by this time, I was not in my swimwear, but changed out into a comfortable loose muscle tee and sweat shorts. However, at first, I thought there was a girl behind me, but there was not. As I walked away, he still stared at me. Either this guy is a creeper or something else. The way he looked at me was not in a creeper or confused way. He just stared into my eyes. I do not understand why though.

I am confused.

P.S. I (sorta) Love You

I guess you can say that I am confrontal when it comes to people insulting me. Usually, I like to avoid trouble at the best of my ability, but when it comes to what I believe and what I feel, I get a bit arrogant. I never mean to do it and just so happens. Call me a jerk.
