June Haul

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is great! I was meant to blog this a couple of weeks earlier but never got round to it. Last month, I took a trip to Zara and bought two items; a top with Braided collar (that is what Zara calls it) and dip hem dress. I must have been feeling very blue that day because both items happen to be blue.

I have always wanted a top like this but either the price wasn't right or it the style was exactly what I wanted. This was £29.99 but a week later Zara started doing their summer sale so it is now £19.99! Click here 

Never mind. I was lucky to even find my size because there wasn't many small left, and most of them were faulty on the back of the collar. Actually, I'm lucky to find a non faulty one. It comes in white too, I wanted to get it too but all the whites were faulty on the back of the collar-the hooks were made from threads and were coming off. I tried to be cheeky and ask the sales lady if I could get a discount since they didn't have any other that was non faulty. But no, she said they don't do discount, if its faulty they will just send it back to Spain. Fair enough! So, I just bought the blue one.

Initially, I went Zara just to get that top for the video I made for a casting role (Click here to watch it). On my way to the fitting room I saw this beautiful dress.

I have been looking for a dip hem dress for a while now- Zara calls it, 'Dress with front opening'-, I've seen a few but either the pattern/colour wasn't right, or it was the price. This is also on sale right now, I bought it for £29.99 and it is now £17.99. This also comes in white, the thin brown belt is included. On the website, you will find this dress under TRF and not Woman section.

The watermelon skin is good for your skin, don't throw it away!

When its summer or when weather is hot even, watermelon is everyone's favourite (most people anyways)

Look at those watermelon! So yummy and juicy!!!

When we've eaten the red part we will throw the skin away right? Well from now on don't, keep it for some natural beauty treatment! Suitable for both men and women. :)

Watermelon is like cucumber really cool and refreshing so of course that would be good if you've been under the sun for too long and would like to soothe your skin. We, Chinese people say when you get spot is due to 'heat' in our body, I don't know what its called in English. But according to the Chinese medical theory, the 'heat' (not our body temperature lol) is created from eating too much fried food, wheat products, being under the sun too much. Too mush 'heat' will not only cause spot but also bad breath, sore throat, waking up with lots of those eye boogies thing lol, and apparently we will bite our tongue or inside of our mouth more often. Chinese people have several herbal drinks to get rid of this 'heat' and of course prevent and get rid of spots.  (Just gave you guys a mini lesson about Chinese medicine lol)
As with the watermelon, it will cool down your spots. Make sense? lol

Method:
Cleanse your face first to get rid of dirt and sweat, no need to apply toner after.

The skin should be something like below (You can scrap some off to clean it out a bit if you feel funny about the saliva on the watermelon lol):

Cut into smaller pieces to make it easier to use if you wish.

Simply just rub it against your cheeks, forehead, nose, all over your face basically.
 
After you've done it, rinse it with cold water to get rid of the the bits and juice.

Feel your face now and you would feel that your skin has instantly gone softer like a baby's bum! lol

Pat to dry with a clean flannel.

You can apply toner if you wish (the watermelon is cold and plus you rinsed your skin with cold water so the pores would have shrunk anyway but you can use it to get rid of any dirt from the flannel since it may not be 100% clean- toner not only shrinks your pores also gets rid of dirt on your skin.*)

If you have dry skin apply some moisturizer afterwards.

*An express way to clean your face is wiping toner over your face with a cotton pad


Try it out guys!
