 bonjour ~
Welcome to the twenties world! I was once told that the twenties are the best years to make an account of precious memories of life, dreams and love–doing so in the most vibrant manner possible.

How I Make Use of Essential Oils.
written on Thursday, November 4, 2010 @ 10:23 PM ✈
I love essential oils, and its been a part of my life these days, despite all the stress around me. What are essential oils? Essential oils are concentrated aromatic plant extracts collected through a process of steam distillation. Aromatherapists also use essences extracted by expression of fruit peel of citris and absolutes obtained by enfleurage and solvent extractiom. (i.e. Rose and jasmine absolutes are used in the aromatherapy). Orange-flower water and lavender water are fragrants produced during oil distillation. Common methods of using oils include inhalation, vaporization, massage, bathing, and compresses. Essential oils (except in rare exceptions like tea tree oil) are not to be applied to the skin in an undiluted form. Some of the methods i use are as follows: - Vaporization: Four to five drops of a single oil or combination of oils are sufficient. Too ascent a room place the drops in a vaporizer or in a small container of water set on a radiator. You can also place a drop or two onto a light bulb. For individual therapy you can place a drop or two of oil onto a tissue or pillowcase. For example, i personally drop a few drops of Victoria Rose on wet towel, and slowly inhale when i feel tired. It revives, and makes you feel happy just like when you use endorphene. - Baths: For relaxation, pleasure, stress relief, or soothing achy muscles, a soak in bath water that has been treated with a few drops of essential oils is a delight. Since i dont have a long bath, i just put a few drops into the water tank, and take a cold bath or wash my face with it. - Personal Care: Treat yourself by adding romatic oils to your skin lotions, face creams, and mild shampoos. I added orange flavour into my face spray, so it smells nice, and it mildly refreshes and keeps you awake. Labels: CRAP, DEFINE BEAUTY, ESSENTIAL OIL

we live under the same sky
“To put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment; who make all conditions serve them, and who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully.”
- James Allen Quotes
Sometimes I wonder how people see me and what they think of me. It scares me a bit, honestly. I am sure though, that what they think of me,
what they think my life is, is a complete misperception. I have always tried to show myself as a carefree person, as someone who wont get bothered
because of public judgements. I am sure my friend and family think there is nothing going wrong in my life, that I do not worry enough, that
I am always happy. And I am sure they probably somewhat hate me for it because, lets admit it, there is nothing worse than seeing someone
who is life seems so perfect while yours is a complete mess. Truth is, I have become an expert at pretending. I think we are all experts
or at least we are getting there.
