Forgiveness and its merits

We all have been hurt by someone, a friend, a relative, a colleague, a partner, a neighbor. And time doesn’t always heal our wounds. The pain remains and the anger increases. They say that revenge is a dish best served cold, but have you ever considered of letting go?

Forgiveness is a hard but wonderful thing! Have you ever considered it instead of revenge? As an Orthodox Christian myself, I’ve been taught that forgiveness, together with love, should be the basic principles of our lives. Jesus Christ left us with two major guides: To love our fellow man and treat everyone the same way we would like to be treated, and to unconditionally forgive everyone. Two simple rules that open the doors of Heaven! Continue reading Forgiveness and its merits

How often should you wash your hair?

You are probably taking a shower every day, but should you wash your hair every day as well? I used to wash mine every day, especially when it was short. I felt like it was a part of my every day hygiene routine. I felt that I wasn’t clean enough if I hadn’t washed my hair. When I decided to grow long hair, I kept on washing it every day. It became a bit of a struggle actually, because it took me too much time to dry and style it after washing. So, it made my morning routine longer and more stressful. Moreover, it made me think twice about exercising, because I had to wash it for the second time the same day and I was afraid that a second wash could damage it. At some point, I decided to make a research about how often should we wash our hair. I’ve heard a lot of things, but what is actually correct? Continue reading How often should you wash your hair?

When do your makeup products expire?

Today I decided to give my makeup products a thorough clean out. As part of my Spring cleaning, I decided to start decluttering and organizing my closets. I stumbled upon my makeup bag and a drawer I use to keep my beauty products. I used to travel a lot and I have many makeup travel sets, some of which I haven’t used for a long time. Also, Christmas-gift makeup palettes, too many lipsticks, powder and liquid face make ups, many different shades of eyeshadows, more than 5 mascaras… you get the picture.

I believe most of us women have usually more makeup products in our closets or bathrooms than we use in everyday bases (please, tell me I am not alone). We are always buying an extra nail polish, a new set of eyeshadows, a couple of lipsticks to refresh our look, that powder that our favorite actor is using… and we are stocking our makeup bags with new products without tossing the old ones. Even if we have just bought the latest trend in eyeshadows, we are hooked on our old favorite eyeshadow. Nothing wrong with that, but have you ever wondered how long can you keep your makeup products? When should you toss them away, because they may cause you serious problems if you keep on using them?
