Soaps can increase the pH levels and destroy the acid mantle of your skin which is really damaging. This can lead to acne, clogged and large pores, dry skin etc…
If you have essentially dry skin, the effects of soap will worsen your skin.
Check out my previous posts for more insights: So when choosing a good facial cleanser, make sure it’s 100% natural or the one with safe ingredients. This will help you keep the pH levels low. I love Andalou Naturals cleansers!
There’s a huge misconception for oily skin types and unfortunately I was also one of the victims who fell for this misconception. This is the biggest mistake people make in their skin care routine and it could be your major reason for problems like acne, blackheads, clogged and large pores.
I used to think my skin is super oily. HOWEVER, it’s the exact opposite. My skin is oily BECAUSE it’s dehydrated.
Confused? So was I.. Hopefully this post will help you make sense of this complication..! (more…)
I damaged my hair a LOT and I recovered it within a month which was like a miracle for me and especially because it was ALL NATURAL. My hair grew quite LONG AND THICK within a short period of time so I hope this works for you too.
This hair mask is an old Indian Secret actually. Coconut oil and castor oil have been used in Ayurveda (Ancient Indian Medical system) for thousands of years and you can see Indian women have really long and thick hair. So this mask is really EFFECTIVE in stimulating hair growth, thickening and strengthening the hair.

I’ve always loved the dark lips and the ‘baddie’ fashion style. So why not do a video right? And instagram baddies are getting really popular even on tumblr and pinterest.
I love creating different looks so if you guys have any requests you can email me or comment under the video.
Big and elongated eyes has been a trend dating back to the Cleopatra-ages. Women use different tricks and tips to enlarge the eyes.. after all they’re the windows to our soul so of course we want them to be bigger.
I’ve always adored big eyes and here’s a small disclaimer: I am not saying big eyes look prettier than small eyes.. this is just my personal preference. Even though I’ve been blessed with big eyes, sometimes.. I want them even bigger lol
And I also want to teach you guys how exactly I achieve it since it actually took me years to learn the exact techniques. So I tried my best to break down the steps and make it easier for you <3

This is a get ready with me typ-a video! This makeup look was requested from my ‘All time Favorite Drugstore Products‘ video. I was wearing the same makeup look in that video and you guys loved it so here it is.
This is an ALL MATTE look and I am only using L’oreal’s La Palette Nude 2 for the eyes because that’s how much I love this palette. Its super pigmented, buttery, easily blend-able and beautiful colors. I would say it is very similar to Urban Decay’s Naked Palettes in terms of the quality of eyeshadows.
All products and outfit details will be listed below <3
If you guys read that post you’d know the star ingredient is the Aztec Secret India Healing Clay which is 100% natural calcium bentonite clay. I’ve LOVED this clay mask ever since I tried it.
So in this video I am showing you 2 MASKS. One for sensitive skin and the other for non-sensitive skin.
I use the second one because my skin is pretty tough and oily so I need clay masks in my routine.
Benefits of clay masks:
Tightens pores permanently overtime
Gets rid of blemishes / acne pretty fast
Deep cleanses pores and pulls all the impurities out
They actually recommend you to use the clay with apple cider vinegar (ACV) but you guys know I CANNOT stand the smell of ACV so instead I use witch hazel and it works just as well for me. And if my skin is acting reaaaally bad then I also add 2 drops of tea tree oil which is a natural anti-bacterial and acne fighter.
(I live in Toronto and I buy Dickinson’s witch hazel from Walmart for around $5. Only the yellow bottle is 100% natural and alcohol free so buy the YELLOW one.)
This mask combo literally gets rid of 70% of the blemishes OVERNIGHT.
If you have sensitive skin use the first mask with yoghurt and if you think your skin can handle a little more.. then you can use the second mask.
If your skin is really dry and not so sensitive I’d definitely suggest you to use the tea tree oil.
So you can experiment use whatever combination that works for your skin type and let me know how it works out for you xx
I think I’ve mentioned the time when I damaged my hair up to a point where it felt like straw.. No seriously though! It was a horror. But thankfully I recovered the damage which took me YEARS by the way. And now that I’ve recovered them I don’t want to damage them ever again… BUT I still want to style them with heat whenever I want.
Now ‘heat styling’ and ‘no damage’ is like complete opposite terms but I figured a way out. So good news for you guys because I am going to share my secrets that I’ve learnt over the years and ones that no one ever mentions for some reason.. It got me thinking am I the only one who’s been through this?
Anyway after years of trial and error I came up with this routine for super sleek straightened hair and I’ve been doing it for at least 4-5 months now and I haven’t seen any damage. So I hope this helps and please read the description bar for more details <3
As always, the products I’ve used will be listed below!
This truly proves that beauty is a perception. What is considered beautiful in one country can be seen as a flaw in another. I found this video (linked below) on Wengie’s channel and it literally gave me a flash back of my life.
The same goes with people. Two people can find the same person really beautiful or really ugly. So if someone today thinks you’re ugly or ‘average’.. it shouldn’t affect your perception of yourself because that’s just ONE person’s opinion. There are 7 billion other people in this world. If you see yourself as God’s beautiful creation and believe it.. then no one has the power to bring you down by just saying a few bitter words.
Story Time – A Peek of my Teenage Life
When I was a teenager.. I used to get the most racist comments like ‘your skin is the color of shit’ etc.. and some people used to ask me ‘what’s that on your face’ (when I had some skin issues).. This seriously tore me from inside out and I used to think I was the ugliest girl in the world. Years passed and I was sick of thinking so bad about myself.. so I changed my perception. I literally sat down and decided to never look at myself in the mirror and say a negative word.. EVER!
As soon as I changed the way I see myself.. everyone else around me changed the way they see me as well. At this point I can say I get so many compliments from people every single day. I am not bragging here but I am trying to prove a point. I am a living proof who has gone through the experience of being the ugliest girl in school to the prettiest in college.. If someone told me when I was 15 that I was going to have a youtube channel and I would be an ‘Instagram model’ .. I would’ve laughed in their face. So that’s a small peek of my teenage years..
Please watch this video without any negativity and really grasp the message it’s trying to send <3 Thank you Wengie for this truly inspirational video x
