Skin - Dry skin

Hi!
Here's a blog about the dry skin, and what you can do with it
(to make it softer, nicer etc. )

This tips are mainly for the skin on your face, but ofcourse you can also
try it for other parts of your body

Dry skin

How can you recognise it? 

Your skin has some dry spots, and your skin starts to crack.
Yep, you have dry skin!

Some tips to handle it

Cucumber is full moisture, and is a bit wet.
Just put a slice on each eye for a couple of minutes to feed the skin 
around your eye.

Clean your face without removing the natural oils from it.
Use a soft cleansing milk for it, 
but if you prefer facewash,
you can better use the soap free one.

Hydrate your skin with a creamy creme.
The ingredient hyaluronic acid will help to keep the fluid balance in balance.

Your skin is kinda thirsty, and can look dry and pale.
A weekly moisturizing mask with aloe vera or vitamin E, is good for your skin.
Your skin will be less thirsty and it will get a nice glow.

Well that's it!
Hope you enjoyed my blog, and learned of it!
Bye!

ps. In my upcoming blogs I will tell how to handle the other types of skin.

More luck next time :/

Why you don't have to bring a gadget to bed...

Hi!
I found this on Twitter and I would like to share it with you:


My favourite movies ♥

Hi!

I've decided to tell you guys, what my favourite movies are!

In my previous post I've made a list with movies.
Now, I'll tell you what MY favourites are!


  1. Forrest Gump
  1. The Pursuit of Happyness


Not much, I know, but I do like them ♥

About:

Forrest Gump

A man, (Forrest Gump, played by Tom Hanks) has a very low IQ ,
but still: he is kind at heart. He've done many important things during
his life, but he keeps thinking about one person and chilhood friend:
Jenny.
Very nice movie, sometimes bringing you to tears, and another moment 
you're laughing your ass off :P

The Pursuit of Happyness

A man (played by Will Smith), has money problems, but keeps struggling to get the
custody of his son. Meanwhile, he is jobless, and he is following a course,
to get a job.
Very dramaticly, the whole time I was almost crying 
(okay, at some moments I did cry...)
And it is based on a true story.

Hope you enjoyed reading!

A short while later...

Okay, I've just posted my first blog and proudly I showed my blog to my dad.

He wasn't happy that I had said what my name was... -.-
I mean, I didn't even said what my adress was and stuff,
only MY NAME!
What's so bad about that? I mean, COME ON,
As if people would like to track me and kill me.
-.-

xoxo Melati

My very first blog.

Hi guys!

Uhm... yeah. This is my first blog... So I'll just introduce myself :)

Well. First of all my name is Melati.
(I just made up the name Pika-Up, but I think you'll understand that thats not my real name ;P )

It was my mothers idea to call me Melati (she's Indonesian)
and "Melati" is a flower. And very logically:
it's her favourite flower :) .
My father is Dutch, and I also live in the Netherlands (where it rains 24/7 -.-' ),
but I post this in English because I hope to get more visitors this way... yep.

I've learned English in Africa, when my dad had to do a "project" there for his work.

(No, he's not killing people)

Right...

But then me, my brother an my mom had to go with him.
We lived in a pretty big house, and I enjoyed my time there.
But, after 1,5 years we had to return to Holland.

Man, I cried A LOT because I would never ever see my friends again...

"Wehee Are Never Ever, GETTING BACK TOGETHER" WEEEEEEH

Okay, a weird blog... but you'll never know... maybe it will get weirder ;p.

And really, in the future I will blog about girls stuff, but this is it for now...

See ya later!
Xoxo Melati.

Ps. I was 7 when I came back to Holland... That's years ago.
