Daily Habits for Happy Skin

Every moment of passing time spent defines the larger outcome. I have observed that miniscule but consistent efforts have the power to bring a gargantuan change. This principle could be applied even in the realm of skincare. To achieve something, we must involve all its elements in our lifestyle. Thus, this blog brings simple skin care practices to include in daily routines.  Missing some basics can lead to unwanted skincare problems. Perhaps a slight switch could alter your skincare game altogether. Use this blog as a checklist the next time you're in front of the sink. I hope you learn something new.  1. 60- second cleanse.  The most basic step is to always have a clean face. In the age of rising pollution, it has become essential to wash our faces. However, we often look over it. I believe a proper cleanse could help clear your skin significantly. Having said that, I do not advocate excess scrubbing. Washing your face at most twice a day is enough. It is how you wash i...

Why Harry Potter stands out from other fantasy novels

  Harry Potter, penned by J.K. Rowling, has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of readers worldwide.

My Guitar Journey

  My Guitar Journey When I first laid my hands on a shiny new guitar, I had no idea that it would become the catalyst for an incredible journey of self-discovery and musical expression. With no formal lessons or guidance, I embarked on a self-taught guitar adventure that would shape my life in ways I never imagined. Armed with determination and a curious spirit, I turned to YouTube tutorials as my virtual guitar teacher. Shy and introverted, I found solace in the privacy of my room, strumming chords and practicing melodies that resonated deep within me. The virtual realm became my sanctuary, where I could experiment and make mistakes without the fear of judgment. I vividly remember the small victories along the way – the first time I successfully played a complete song, the moments when my fingers finally found their rightful place on the fretboard, and the pride that swelled within me as I learned to transition between chords with greater ease. Each small event fueled my passion a...

strangers to friends

  Amelia, a kind-hearted girl with a disability, settled into her usual seat on the bus. Her wheelchair was her constant companion, allowing her to navigate the world with grace and determination. Across from her, Ethan, a shy and suspicious boy, kept his gaze low, avoiding eye contact with anyone. He clutched his backpack tightly, as if protecting something precious. As the bus began to fill up, Amelia noticed a group of bullies board. They targeted Ethan, mocking his reserved nature. Her heart went out to him, recognizing the pain of being judged and misunderstood. Without hesitation, Amelia intervened, speaking up against the bullies and offering Ethan a reassuring smile. Surprised by her kindness, Ethan cautiously returned the smile and thanked her. As they started chatting, the bus ride turned into a heartfelt conversation about their dreams, struggles, and the challenges they faced. Amelia shared her experiences of overcoming physical barriers, while Ethan opened up about his...

How I fell in love with Summer

  I hate Summers. I don’t like its brightness or over pompitous return of distant relatives to this small state in the southwest most corner of the country. I don't like the fruits or festivals or events of this season. I really don't like summer. Every summer my grandmother and grandfather would visit town and visit all these outsiders who once left the motherland for glory and money. My grandfather passed away last year, so this summer grandma insisted that I go with her. Nothing more than another reason to hate my vacations. I really didn't care much about who and where I was going. First we visited the home of the late district magistrate. He was a close chap of my grandfather. The house was on the cliff and walking down the stairs, I could hear two ladies talking and water falling from a pipe. Though summer was terrible, flowers still bloomed the best then and the air was fresh and beautiful, just like her. Who was she? She wasn't the late grandpa's granddaugh...
