Foods for beautiful skin



1. Avocado

A good source of biotin, it helps to prevent dry skin, brittle hair and nails. it is also a good source of essential fatty acids and vitamin E. All super nutrients for the skin.

2. Green tea (my personal favourite)

Green tea has a lot of health benefits. Not a "food" but essentially a good source of anti-oxidant and polyphenols. Aim for 4 cups per day. you can add a bit of honey for added taste. 


3. Tomatoes

A great source of the antioxidant lycopene, it also contain high level of carotenoid (vit A derivatives, another beneficial vitamin for your skin). These nutrients may help to slow down cellular damage from free radicals. Lycopene also may protect against sunburn. 


4. Salmon or any other cold water fish

Rich in omega 3 and other essential fatty acids. Salmon contains astaxanthin, a carotenoid that improves skin elasticity. Omega 3 is not only good for your skin but for your heart too. 

5. Eggs

Cheap but complete source of protein. Protein helps to repair cells that have been damage by free radicals. Eggs also contain biotin that helps protect against dry skin.

6. Pomegranate

Anti-oxidant rich fruit. When applied topically may help skin create more collagen and speeds up healing. 

7. Walnuts

Another rich source of omega 3 fatty acids. It helps to keep your hair shiny, skin looking smoother and younger looking. 

8. Beans

Another source of protein. helps to repair cells that have been damaged by free radicals and aids in repair and regeneration of skin cells and collagen. 

9. Soy beans based foods (tofu, tempe, soymilk)

may help to preserve skin-firming collagen because it is rich in isoflavones. Isoflavones also help prevent breakdown of collagen. Tofu and tempe is also a cheap source of protein. 

10. Vitamin C rich foods (lemons, oranges, strawberries, Broccoli etc)

vitamin C may help protect skin cells against sun damage by promoting the repair of DNA that’s been harmed by UV rays. Vitamin C helps in synthesizing collagen to promote firmer skin. 


In summary, eat more food that is rich in anti-oxidants, omega 3 fatty acids, skin-friendly vitamins like vitamin A, C and E and proteins.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan.

Goodbye For Now Dear Friend, We Shall Meet Again.

I don't really share about my personal life but today, I lost a dear friend. You know that kind of person that never really leave your life?  That friend that no matter what happens, will always gravitate back into your life especially when you are having a hard time? That kind of friend that says they miss you and then googled your name to see what picture of you that might come up? Yes, he is that kind of friend. And now he has left me for good. Our path first crossed many-many years ago, at a time when I was at my lowest.  We were from a different world. Mine was rose-tinted, safe, and secure. While his world was shadier and truly complicated.  Our personality was also of the polar opposite. I was the serious and disciplined type and he is free-spirited, just kinda breezing through life. Carefree, funny, and a soft-spoken guy. Sometimes things just clicked. 7 years ago, we dated briefly and in that short time, I learned so much about life outside of my bubble. Of all ...
