Dear reader,

Tonight I’m not going to write about anything particular. But I’m just going to sit here and type all these words to you as a friend. Let’s talk and perhaps have some coffee or tea or juice or water or whatever you please, as you keep on reading this post letter by letter. You know it’s really nice having someone to talk to. Not to get any advice or to be criticized but just to be listened to. It’s that simple.

So, how’s life? Has it been a little rough? Some of you perhaps might be going through a hard time and maybe dark. Feeling that you’re lost, lonely, feeling stuck, trapped and you think you can’t get out? Let me tell you. You will get through this! Just hang on there and it will soon be over. The word is ‘COURAGE’. Have the courage to keep going on, small steps are okay but you have to keep moving with your life. Even if you’re at your lowest point, once you get through this, you will come out and grow even stronger. Just like those days you thought that you can’t go through it anymore. Well, look where you stand now! You made it, you passed the test! And this time you will make it too! Remember that somewhere out there is someone who wants you to be happy. And if you can't think of anyone who wants you to be happy, then just think of me. I want you to be happy. Everything will be alright. You are stronger!

For a change, do something you like, create something, anything you like, dream the craziest things you can think of and share them! Let the world know, let me know! Shake all the bitterness away and be YOU. Just you. Just be as ‘you’ you can be. Have the courage ;)

Your friend,

Yasmin

Skin journey: How I cured my skin. I went French!

Dear readers, Ever since I moved to the UK I realize that my makeup consumption has increased quite drastically. Trust me I did wear makeup, but just as simple as setting powder and some BB cream if I am in the mood. Heavy make-up special occasions only. But this past year I have been using makeup pretty much everyday. BB cream, sometimes foundation, concealer, not to forget I also use a primer underneath, you name it. My skin type is basically sensitive and acne-prone. So if any product does not work on my skin, just wait a few days and zits will start to come. I knew that. I was just stubborn. You see like many of you, I see makeup as fun. Who doesn't like looking 'better' right? But from the accumulation of makeup I have worn over the past few months, I have successfully grown and harvested myself an amount of zits and oh the bonus, acne scars! It sounds disgusting, I know. Apologies. For all of you having had acne, yes, yes. It is frustrating! It is painful and c

Living with Braces and Retainers (Wire/Hawley vs Clear/Essix)

How much of you has gotten braces and retainers? Yep some of us have been through it all. May it be for health reasons or for the sake to get that perfect smile. Whether you're still wearing it, going through the retainer phase, let's agree that those years are just about discipline! The discipline of actually cleaning your teeth in a way you kind of never did before (not saying that you never clean your teeth before, omg that would just sound bad, why am I even writing this? lol never mind, ignore the voice in my head babbling. So, I meant cleaning in a good way, seriously!), you get used of more that just one tool to clean your teeth, that mental preparation of facing the facts that some of your teeth must be taken out, monthly visits to the dentist (my dentist is a living witness of me growing up), wearing retainers everyday, cleaning them, put it in the case and try not to lose it honestly. So well, I am going to share you bits of my story. I had had braces for 6 years
