My Life so far

Hello Everyone~~~

Long time no blog...

Sorry about that, I was just totally stumped by the amount of work needed when you have 4 labs a week...

But there is a lot of interesting things that happened lately~

So first the Annual Kuwait Book Fair #36

It was a total fail....

There was barely any English novels nor any helpful scientific
I only bought two novels... :(

The only reason the Book Fair was fun is because I went with my awesome friend~~~
@MJassim92

Anyways It was then that I fell in love with Stephen King
He's probably one of my favourite Thriller authors right no ^w^


And my search for the Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan continues,
I went on Friday to Virgin Megastore to only be stumped by the fact that book isn't arriving
there before two months...

The reasons I've been so lazy lately are these babies~~

I got another Stephen King Book and a book by C.J.Sansom~~ <3

And my very very addictive PS3 game Dynasty Warriors 7
When I come home I'm either reading or playing DW7 ooooor~ Re-watching Supernatural~~ <3

I spend most of my time with @MJassim92 ~~ she's awesome ^w^

Just her and me chilling with some Krispy Kreme
I got my favourite Banana/Mango/Strawberry smoothie~~ <3
And she got her favourite Oreo smoothie ^w^

And my poor little cat Lilo landed on her left paw in a bad way which led to a small fracture and she was limping :(
So we took her to the vet and he gave her some injections to help her, I took her again today for
the follow up ^w^

She was really tired when she got the injections...

Poor kitty :(

On Friday I went out with sis and @NOOMZzii <3~~

It was fun, we did a little shopping and had fun and we had dinner at Johnny Rockets~~ ^w^

*This burger really drained all the stress of the week, and plus I love my burgers <3*
I'm in love with Rocket burger <3 they're special sauce is really amazing ^w^

Well that's preetty much it for this post
I'll try to post soon

Thank you for reading Hope you enjoyed

Stay tuned for my next post~ <3

Nail Tutorial with limited tools~

Hiya Everyone~~~

So I was wondering what should I do for my next post...

So I was doing my nails 

and I was listening to All American Nightmare- Hinder~~~ <3

A part of the lyrics is "Red, White, Blue*

Funny thing is....

I already did my nails the day before with base of Blue and White~~~

XD

I though I might as well do something fun with my nails~

So ended up with the USA flag on my nail ^w^

*Warning: This is my first Nail art attempt ever!! So of course it's 

Not awesome or the best nail art Tutorial in the world...*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So what you need:

1- Many many Q-tips

2- A box of tissues *or whatever you use for removing nail polish*

3- Nail Polish remover *Any brand as long as it's good is fine*

4- A normal paint brush *I only used it on my right hand, because I can't manipulate the regular nail polish brush with my left hand....*

5- An old and unwanted mechanical pencil

*It's very useful for drawing tiny details*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So here are the base colours:

1- Zoya's Snow White nail polish

*I forgot to shake it before taking the pic... but I love this shade, it's pure white and has a matte-ish finish*

2- Caris Gold in Blue No. 40

*It's just a random nail polish that is peel-off-able? is that even a word.... Anyway it's very opac

and amazingly rich, I mean one coat is enough and you don't have to use nail polish remover for it~ <3*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You just need one more color and a top coat now~ ^w^

1- Claire's Nail polish extra strong in Red 42

*You can see it's a bit faded.... This is a heavy duty nail polish... It's beautiful red not to bloody and not too orange, it's just perfect I love it~ I'm glad I got this as a gift from Claire's*

2- Rimmel London 60 seconds clear top coat

 *Probably not the best top coat.... it doesn't dry up in 60 seconds.....

But it's not bad either so meh, use any top coat you want.*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~```

Point: Pictures of the process don't exist because I'm very messy when I do my nails,

and if I took pics it will look like a horror show and I will get polish on my camera....

Step one: Start by doing your base coats, and build it up so the color is strong and not see through.

-You can choose which fingers to put on the white and the blue colours on your on, but I had 7 white base fingers and three Blue.

-And the reason for that is white looks okay on it own, but dark blue is a bit harsh and it doesn't work well with this nail look.

*This is the only pic of the process I have :(*

Step two: Get your red nail polish~ and start drawing some strips on the white base~

-Point: Don't draw red strips on all your white base nails, it will look too much...

-For my left hand I drew the strips using the brush of the nail polish itself, cause 

I'm used to using thick paint brushes anyways *Yaay artist advantage*

but for my right hand *I'm right-handed people* I needed to use the painting brush because it's easier to use

when you're drawing with your opposite hand~

Step three: Take the white nail polish brush and drop a few drops of the white nail polish on a board *I used a card I had* and from there, start dipping the mechanical pencil *make sure the graphite is not pointing out... we're working with white here, maybe some other dark colors it'll be fine...* 

and start making dots on the blue nail base *dots are easier to deal with as you will notice the white polish will run out fast, plus make sure the dots are close to each other.*

-Start making a shape for the stars, do as many as you like, but I only did two on each of the two blue bases *I left one base empty*

Wait for all of it to dry and then add your top coat~

This is the finished look~

 Left hand *a bit messy...*

 Right hand~~ * a bit messy too*

~~~~~~~~~~~~

And that is it~ 

Sorry it was a bit boring and looooooooooooooong

I wanted to cover everything ~

I guess this goes for all my lovely friends from USA~~~ <3

Thanx and that's it for this post

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Peace out my lovelies~~~~~

Love & Kisses to all <3

Kustie's Natural Lady Kiwi Fruit and Aloe Peel-Off mask review

Hiya everyone~~~

I'm here with another review~~~ 

I'm very excited about this review,

Because this mask is amazing~~~

So let's starts with the mask's name *I'm warning you it's quite a mouthful...* 

It's Kustie's Natural Lady Kiwi Fruit + Aloe whitening and spot removing peel-off mask

*Whew that was long...*

Here it is~

So, here's is my review on this awesome mask~

First of all the ingredients are fully natural~ <3

and they are listed in the back, all of which are readable *not the chemical nonsense*

When I apply it to my skin it in a gel like concentration which is good for combination/oil skin

it dries up into a tight mask, it feels like you applies white yolk to your face
It'll be hard to smile and talk, you can touch it to see if it completely dry
if it's a bit sticky wait a bit longer
I can't give you an exact time, because it depends on how much you apply to your skin

Anyways after it's completely dry you can peel it off *Hello Captain Obvious*
It'll be a bit painful, it very bearable,
I mean you're peeling off a mask what do you expect?

After you do that it says massage your skin so you can look in the moisture, and voila~
After I removed the mask my skin was glowing,
it was 50% lighter
my acne scars were less visible
and my face just felt fresh and healthy~~

*Sorry for the lack of pics, I took the pics, but then when I compared there were no difference,
due to the fact that my camera has an auto skin clearing mode, and I don't know how to undo it...*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Overall

Pros: 

# It's super cheap *for an effective mask~ <3*

# The container is very convenient

# Doesn't irritate skin

# All natural ingredients

# Clears and lightens the skin and acne scars

Cons:

# It takes a long time for the mask to dry

# A bit painful to peel-off

Q: Will I recommend this to anyone?

You bet~ <3 it's amazing and gentle on the skin.

Q: Will I repurchase it?

Absolutely, there is no doubt about it, it's a great product.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's it for this post, hope you enjoyed reading it

And I hope it's helpful and informative <3

Thanx for reading, and see you on my next post~ 

Love & Kisses to all <3

Sophomore Year begins

Hello everyone~~

I know long time no post,

Buuuuut~

there's a good reason, I've been burning stuff ^w^

OK not literary, it's for a scientific experiment I swear...

So basically this year I started driving to my university alone, which is on it's own is really stressful...

 I'm not a bad driver, but the streets are over crowded, it takes forever to reach my Uni

and some awful drivers always causing problems....

Anyway moving on...

this semester I have four labs, which means I slave in one class for three hours

depending on the instructor,

 Like in the chemistry lab we got to burn magnesium, till it turned white

Above is the burner thingie, it makes a pop sound when you turn it on, quite scary.... 

 You can see the magnesium ribbon is still burning in the pic, it looked sooo cute, turning from a silvery colored long ribbon into a beautiful and white thingie you see <3

Here when it has completely cooled down, it has the most awful smell when you drop some water on it, and some parts break off and turn green *didn't take a pic, cause I forgot~*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Putting happy moments aside, I have tons of material to cover!!!!

I have two books and 5 notepads and a few I didn't get yet, 

That basically mean I have no life this semester....

Yup all of these books are meant to be studied.... except for the Marine Biology book, it's for light reading *Harry Potter reference <3*  

This however is the novel I'm currently reading,  excuse the bad flash, it's 'Dark Fire' by C.J. Sansom

I really love it~~  it's set in London in the 1540s, it's very well written and I can barely stop reading it~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Books aside, I will go over how I spend five days a week, and how little life I have....

three days a week I wake up at 6:45 am and get ready for my first class, 

I come home at................ 5:00pm.....

and I come back exhausted with no energy to go online... *explaining the lack of blogging...*

the rest of the week I wake up the same time, but come home earlier... 

Oh and not to forget, the scorching weather, no autumn for us.....

And I can't have a life this semester....

Well that's pretty much it for my rant~ 

I needed to get it of my chest~

Thanx for reading~  and see you on the next post~

Love & Kisses to all <3

Dealing with the Sickness

Hello Everyone~~

I actually racked my brain whether to post this blog or another one with a different topic,

But I thought this would be more appropriate, considering that the change of seasons is when most

People get sick,

I always hated using man made anti-bio-tics, they always tasted horrible and they effect your natural immune system.

So Here are some of my favourite home remedies, that I have tried and worked perfectly fine for me~

P.S. This post might be long, because I'm trying to cover all my home remedies here, which are quite a few ^w^

First are the things you should always do no matter what your symptoms are:

1- Sleep~~

or just resting and lying down in general, it helps your body focus on fighting what's causing you sick,

and I found out that I get better quicker when I'm taking it easy while I'm sick.

2- Hydration 

You know water is good for you, there is no reason for you to stop drinking it when you're sick,

think of water as a cleansing mechanism, it cleans your body from toxins all the time, it will help you clean up the sickness quicker. *I love water <3*

3- Vitamins 

Multivitamins and especially vitamin C helps prevent getting sick, and when the sickness already occurred it helps reduce the symptoms. I'm not saying go pill pop or something, I can't eat citrus fruits cause I get an annoying allergic reaction where all around my mouth gets red and itchy, that's why I substitute with tablets, but if you can get them of more natural sources it's even better  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now for the more specific remedies for specific symptoms ^w^:

A-  Sore Throat:

I inherited my dear mother's gigantic tonsils, and anything could agitate them, before I used to be terrified of sore throats, cause it always ended up in causing a cough *which never goes away quickly. 

that was I discovered my ultimate sore throat healer *Drumroll please*

1- Green Tea~~ <3

OMG!!! I love green tea so much!!!! It does wonders for sore throat, and for your body in general,

considering it's packed with antioxidants and all the good stuff for you, green tea is like miracle healer or something *at least for me* I take my green tea with a spoon and a half of honey *which is also good for you* twice a day and the next morning, my sore throat is gone~~~

  

2- Honey <3

First of all, no processed honey, it's not going to work. It's preferably organic, but the honey I use is straight from the honey farms, full with the wax which is stores the honey in, so I know it pure and awesome.

Also did you know that honey never spoils, like ever!! I'm not getting into that long story or all the amazing properties of it, but if you want a quick fix, a spoon full of honey *which might be incredibly sweet* calms your throat right away and makes it feel better.

3- Olive Oil

  Ok, I'm not really a fan of this remedy, not because it doesn't work *which is does amazingly*, but because of it's taste *it's sooo bitter* you need to take also a spoon full of olive oil *yuck it tastes so horrible, it's like the opposite of honey* and your rough cough exhausted throat will calm immediately.

4- Hot Lemon 

 That's my mom's favourite remedy *I prefer green tea :P* when I was younger my mom would always boil some lemons in hot water and makes me drink it *it's not that bad tasting though* she also put a bit of honey for that extra kick to fix me quickly. *Also a quick tip, if you inhale the steam from the boiling lemon water it helps open your clogged nose ^w^*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

B- Clogged nose *no better name for it, cause it's the truth :P*

There is so much you can do to fix a runny nose and now we start with the:

1- Boiling water steam

Put a towel over your head and inhale the steam, careful not to get burned, steam burns are worse than boiling water burns. It's even better if there were some lemon slices, chamomile and mint leaves in the water *boil it with the water, not add them later* that will really help.

2- Chili Paste??

Probably my favourite idea ever, did I mention that chili paste also help with the sore throat?? Well, but for it to work you need to use really spicy chili paste *if you have no endurance don't use it* I always loved spicy Indian food, so this is kinda perfect for me, I usually take not so much, around three drops and place is in the center of my tongue *don't ask why, but that's the only spot where it works perfectly* I leave it a bit and inhale slowly and my clogged nose starts opening up~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So basically these are all my home remedies, I hope they're useful and help you keep the sickness at bay~

and thank you for reading ~~ <3

See you guys on the next post,and take care

Love & Kisses to all <3

Bye Bye Artblock

Hello Everyone~~

For the past month I wasn't able to draw anything

*Queen of Make believe is an exception, that's a story for another day though*

 So I'm just gonna post some of the stuff I've been working on~

This one here is inspired by *if you can't tell yet* Assassin Creed~~~

She doesn't have a name because she's a spur of the moment,

She wasn't planned or anything *So many jokes run through my mind now* I just took the paper and sketched away *that's why the pose looks king awkward...*

To the Second one~~~

A mermaid yes~~~

Her name is Sheng Wei *was listening to Zhu Xian Qing Zui by Dong Zhen and Sheng Wei and it gives me goosebumps everytime I hear them sing <3*

Well that's it for this post, don't wanna make it too long~~~

See you guys soon

Love & Kisses to all my lovelies <3
