Beauty and Health Tips Using Limes.



Limau nipis and limau kasturi surely does more than a wonderful cooling drink on a hot day. 

 It provides vitamin C and flavenoids, both containing antioxidant, antibiotic and disinfectant agents beneficial for clear skin.

 Here are a few beauty and health tips using these citrus. It's cheap, natural and organic, worth the try.

1. Lime juice wash for acne-free, clear and bright skin

My friend  shared this tip with me and i have been doing this for almost a month now. I have a super oily skin and since then, I've noticed that it has become less oily, smoother, brighter and glowing. 

 Lime juice can wash away your acne in two to three weeks with daily topical use. Cut the lime into half and apply the juice directly onto your acne and allow the juice to dry for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse it off with cold water. 

 Do this about twice a day. It might sting and itch a little bit but no pain, no gain right?

 Vitamin C uols, haruslah brightening gitu kan. 
Close enough girls
2. Lime or lemon drink
In the earlier post I have mentioned about The Lemon Water Detox. This is similar to that. A lime or lemon juice drink helps clear up acne by detoxifying the body, adding the healing and antioxidant powers of vitamin C and providing collagen to your skin, reports Hair and Beauty Tips website. 

 Squeeze the juice of one lime/ half a lemon into a glass of lukewarm water. Drink it first thing upon awakening in the morning. 

 3. Brighter and smoother knee and elbow
Our knee and elbow tend to be darker and dryer than other body parts. Cut a lime into two, then rub each halves to your knees.  You can do it anytime, before taking a shower or even if you are watching TV, but do not forget to rinse it if you do not want a dry skin.  

 4. For smooth and silky hair
You can use the lime skin.  Cut the lime into half, rub it to your hair before you take a bath.  You can do it an hour before bath.  It will leave your hair smooth and silky. 

 Apparently it helps with dandruff too. Tried and tested, it works!

 5. Brighter armpit?
you can use it to brighten your armpit.  Cut the lime into halves (it is understood), rub the lime unto your pit (rub it gently so it won't hurt your skin). Leave it for 30 minutes.  Do it before taking a shower or a bath. 

Try it and let me know if it works for you too :)

Nasi Penyebab Kegemukkan?

Betul Ke Nasi Boleh Menyebabkan Kegemukkan? "Shima, jom lunch ni kita pergi makan nasi campur kat gerai depan tu nak?" tanya Mira kepada rakan sekerjanya, Shima.  "Eh, tak boleh! I tengah on low carbs diet ni. I tak boleh makan nasik. " ujar Shima sambil mencebik seolah nasik tu musuh ketat dia. "Lorhh ye ke. Bukan engko tak boleh hidup tanpa nasik ke? Habis tu engko makan apa je kalau tak boleh makan nasik?" soal Mira lagi. "Kalau breakfast, aku makan biskut cicah milo, lunch macam ni aku makan mihun sup ke, kueh tiaw ke. Lepas tu makan malam, aku makan roti 2 keping dengan telur ke." Mira terkesima lalu speechless. Dek disebabkan tak nak sakitkan hati kawan, Mira bermonolog Adoi Shima.   Kata low carbs, habis roti, biskut, mee tu semua bukan carbs ke?

Guide To First Dates For Dummies

Guide To First Dates For Dummies While I'm not exactly an expert in relationships, first dates, and stuff, I've had a few learning experiences and a panel of consultants.  I feel the need to share with you, especially guys, a few do's and don'ts of a first date.  Basically to give you some idea of what girls expect on a first date and to save you from embarrassment and disappointments from not securing a second date.  1. Dress To Impress DO NOT underestimate the power of dressing. You only have one chance at making a good first impression.  You don't have to wear something expensive or trendy. Just something tidy, presentable, smart, or casual. Something you are comfortable in. Jeans, a nice shirt and shoes would be fine.  No short pants, slippers, and ratty t-shirts. If you want to wear shorts, wear them with a shirt (with collar) and shoes instead. Hair should be presentable, facial hairs trimmed and tidy, no bad breath or body odour.  Use cologne or perfume,
