Your heart is just as lovely as your face,
I can't believe you could ever love me.
Gifted with a more than human grace,
You're meant for some noble destiny.

I watch you from the sidelines, in a dream that could come true.
Yet, nonetheless, my heart is happier than it might seem.
I cradle in the warmth of your caress.
I want to be the mirror for your mesmerizing eyes.

I cannot know your heart or hear your thoughts,
But my love for you illuminates my soul.
Your looks have made me blush
& my body craves for the sweet desires you offer.

Take this as it was meant, an unrequited kiss.

For I wanted to be his glasses,
He would see the world through me

For I wanted to be the strings of his guitar,
Waiting to be plucked by him only to sound sweet

For I wanted to be the ring on his finger,
I would be wrapped around his fingers

For I wanted to be the fret of his instrument,
Eagerly waiting to be touched only to be teased

For I wanted to be the pick he played with,
As I'd be held tight for as long as the melody flowed

For I wanted to be everything about him,
But most importantly, a part of him...

Yes! You heard me right, we're going to look at a simple and fool proof way to decorate cakes/cupcakes with icing/powdered sugar. Without further delay, lets get right into it!



Have a cake or a cupcake that's baked and ready to go. Have some stencils ready, made out of cardboard. It can be as simple as a rectangular strip of card or a Christmas tree cutout. The images below may help ^_^


 

While almost nothing can replace the conventional method of writing a journal by hand, times have changed. And with technology offering so much at our finger tips, here is a look at my top 3 diary apps.

#1 JOURNEY - Diary Journal

This is wonderful app as it is available for multiple platforms. What surprised me is it also comes as a Chrome plugin which is a plus! It also isn't a large application which uses a lot of memory, size is about 14 MB. The app is very clean and easy to use. The interface is very beautiful, attracting users to opt for it at first glance.

Here are some screenshots from the app:

This application is available for android and ios platforms. As for size, the app is about 20 MB.

Dark. Pitch Black. The room had no sign of light. Air. A ticking clock. A breath. Was all that was the sound to be heard in the room. And in that room, she lay on her bed. Staring into the darkness, listening to the silence with a ticking clock, breeze and her own breath. The clock was 7 minutes past 3. In the dead of the night, blank and empty. No thought, no sleep.

She turned and twisted in her bed. Trying to fall asleep. She sat up in her bed restlessly. The blank and dark night was eating into her. The one thing she needed wasn't there. She was right there in that moment but it felt like it wasn't real or as though she wasn't there. Fear engulfed her. What if she discovered some thing she was not entitled to know. She stopped, she realized that is not the truth.

She got off her bed. Walked to the night stand and picked up her phone. She unlocked it and opened the dialer. She looked at the last call she had made. a few hours ago, before she got into bed. The dialer flashed a small icon with his image and the number next to it. She called the number. And as she held the phone up to her ear, she heard a message. "The person you are trying to reach is speaking to someone else". She immediately hung up. She had so many thoughts over take her. The monkey mind was at it's monkey business again.

But as this processed, she felt the phone vibrate in her hands and she saw it was him. She was hesitant to answer. Though he had called back - who was he talking to as this hour. She answered as few rings passed. "Hello" she said. "Hello" he said. "I just woke up, I'm wide awake." She said. "I can see that. What is it?" he asked concerned. "Nothing" she said. "My friend had called" he said."Oh okay" she said. She didn't ask who it was. He felt he should tell her? I trust him, she thought. But why did she feel differently for a moment. She said "I feel like I am falling sick". "Throat Pain?" he asked." Mhmm" she said. "Be careful" he said. "I will." she said. "I am feeling so sleepy" he said. "You haven't slept at all, you should sleep" she said. "Sure. I am." he said. "I'll try to sleep too. But I will call you if I can't" she said. "Do call me" he said. She said her goodbye and hung up.

She walked to her bed and went back to lying down. She was yet again blank. It was at that moment she realized, how much he made her human. How much he made her feel like she was herself. How much he was to her - only to realize the overwhelming came from her love to him. And how much she felt in emotion. What was so blank and empty few minutes ago was now full of him and her thoughts of him. She realized it was him that filled everything. He completed all that was there. He made it more real, more colorful and surely complete with love.

Someone who could make her feel so much in just a few minutes, in a lifetime would show her the world she felt. With that thought, she rest into the night feeling nothing but him and the love that was offered.

I like to do this facial one night before some special day, or any day that I feel like looking a little extra special. It doesn't take much effort, and all the products that I have used are way within the reach of our wallet!

So, lets get started,
You can use any branded products apart from the ones I've mentioned.

The basic products you would need are:

- Sanitizer 
I used: Zuci Strawberry Sanitizer - which is my favorite sanitizer!




- Cleanser
I used: Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser




- Scrub
I used: EverYuth Naturals Ultra Mild Scrub




- Face Pack/Mask
I used: Nature's Lacto Tan Clear Pack - but I also love using Biotique's Bio Fruit Whitening Pack.




- Face Wash
I used: Garnier Light Face Wash



- Moisturizer
I used: Bath & Body Works Into the Wild Lotion



- Under Eye Cream
I used: Garnier Under Eye Roll On



- Lip Moisturizers/Balm
I used: Upper Canada's Naturally Lip Butter in Olive and Avocado Flavour



- Tissues/Paper Towels

- A Bowl of Water

- Cotton Pads


The amazing thing about this facial is that half of it is my night time routine! So all you would need to do is add a few steps before your actual night time routine which I know is definitely not much of work.

First, we need to sanitize our hands before we get in any further as breakouts often happen due to unclean hands. So rub that sanitizer in nice before you get started.

Push out any hair out of your face using with a head band or a head scarf. Now cleanse your face using the cleanser and while doing so, make sure to remove any make up if you have any on. And clean it off with the cotton pads or tissues as you prefer.




Cleanse thoroughly till your neck and you can go till your collar bones but I like to stop at the neck. After this, dip you fingers in water and wipe your face with the water and dry your face with paper towels.




Moving on to the next, take a generous amount of scrub into you hand and using your fingers gently, rub it against your skin in circular motions. If you have oily skin, you want to focus on the t-zone of your face and also your nose and chin areas which are know to be the most oily. Scrub your face till you feel like it and don't forget to scrub your lips as well. With the water, wash your face and wipe of any scrub that's left over.




Pat your face dry and now apply the face pack/mask evenly. Leave it on for 15 minutes and let it dry. Once it has completely dried, wash the pack/mask completely. By now, you must already be feeling the freshness on your face. Take a small amount of the face wash and go ahead to wash your face. 



Let your face air dry. Don't use a towel or anything else to pat dry. Once your face is dry, slowly massage your face with the help of some moisturizer. After which you can apply an under eye cream if you want. 

Now we don't want to forget the lips, apply some lip balm and get a good night's sleep!

This is best done in the night before bed as the moisturizers and the products we use would stay on and work well into our skin. 

My night time routine is from the face wash. So the cleansing, scrubbing and face pack are the only three things which we would have to do! I hope you guys found this useful. You guys can use any products but the products I have used are very pocket friendly! Well pamper yourselves and have a blast! Hey, why not through a facial party for your sleepovers! They'd be a great way to bond!

Hope you guys had fun! Stay Glam, Keep Crafting & Flash that Million Dollar Smile! ^_^
