Moxie's Diaries!

I remember when I was younger, most people said having stretch marks meant you'll be so f@t or that you'll have a lot of kids. That's wrong! You can get stretch marks from using bleaching creams, or from gaining weight, and losing weight - and your skin stretches. Pregnancy and puberty can also give you stretch marks; and both men and women have it.  The skin is usually fairly stretchy, but when it's overstretched, the normal production of collagen (the major protein that makes up the tissue in skin) is disrupted, hence "stretch" marks - so kindly stop shaming people for it if you do.

This is actually my favorite face mask. I love turmeric a lot - and not just because of its lightening properties, but also because of its health benefits. This is for everyone battling with acne or dark spots or dull skin. You can get rid of these with turmeric and honey. 

We all want a very beautiful skin. Some of us work so hard to get it. We even end up spending huge amount of money on cosmetics and still see little to no result. Here's my secret to my beautiful skin I feel everyone should try out. 1. Keep your face neat I always keep your face neat by washing it in the morning, and before bed time. This is really not easy especially the morning part. I do get lazy to wash my face in the morning if I'm not going anywhere, but to keep acne out, I have to, because when my pores are clogged, I break out.

As someone who doesn't play with her self-respect, I figured I should share this with y'all because I feel like one of the worst things that can happen to anybody, is losing your self-respect. So here are ways you can stop that from happening: 1. STOP PICKING ON PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T COME FOR YOU   If you always coming for people, with time they’ll get used to it, and you become irrelevant to them! 2. STOP UNNECESSARY BEGGING  The first time I wrote this, I said “stop begging”, but then I thought about it, and realized we all need each other. There are times we may need urgent help, and we won’t have a choice but to beg. That’s fine, but don’t beg too much, and don’t always beg. If you have to beg, let it be your last option. Note that asking and begging aren’t the same thing. Fact is that, not all humans think right. Most people will take advantage of you begging—they’ll think they’re superior to you, use you to their advantage, and may not even help you at the end of the da

It's often annoying when you have an uneven skin tone. I have been there. I once had a darker face and darker knuckles while the rest of my body were lighter. Even though it wasn't obvious, it was really annoying. The first thing I did, was to find the reason why I had an uneven skin tone and i realized that.

Since I wrote  16 Things Women Hate In A Relationship , so many men have requested an article on what men hate too. I will like to clarify that this is not a gender war . It hurts me to know that instead of understanding each other, we're competing, and doing comparisons.  I feel like the best thing you can do in any relationship, is learning and understanding your partner; and this applies to both men, and women. That is one way to enjoy your relationship.  Relationships aren't easy - it requires work from both parties, and you have to be selfless, in love, and willing to be together.

Wrinkles occur on the face as a result of dryness and lack of elasticity. It can also be as a result of aging or other environmental factors. Below are 8 ways you can get rid of or avoid wrinkles, naturally, and please don't forget to stick to healthier meals too : 1. OLIVE OIL Oh! I can’t emphasize enough on how much I love olive oil. When I tell people olive oil is my night moisturizer, they argue. They always say “how can your skin be so smooth and you say you’re using olive oil?” Oh well.. shrugs

Dear men, it is important to note that just as you hate so many things in a relationship, women also do, and one of them is thinking that her feelings are not that important. So many men are led to believe that all a woman wants is money and gifts.  To be honest, we love, and want these things - we do! But they’re never going to make up for things you’re not getting right.  I do hope you find this article helpful, and make necessary adjustments where you’re at fault so you can enjoy a real, and a meaningful relationship.
