Natural Beauty Inside Out
Hey VivaBellas! How was your weekend? Hope you’re well rested for the new week ahead! Today, I want to announce a new initiative here at Viva Woman that will culminate into something exciting for all of you about a month down the road. (^-^) And for this initiative, you’ll need consistency in order to gain your reward. So read on for the details.
Before I tell you how I made this pair of safety pins earrings, I have a story about safety pins to share. This story happened to my mom with her first born, that is, my eldest brother. So the story was that she found out one day too late that a safety pin was missing. Safety pins, as you may know, come in various sizes and the missing one had to be the largest. To her horror, my brother, who was less than one year old at that time, had apparently swallowed it. And horrors of horrors, the safety pin was left open before it was swallowed! Can you imagine the panic my mum felt then?
Since writing about the goodness of yogurt, such as the one I mentioned about yogurt being a natural source of AHA, several readers asked me via comments and email which brand and type of yogurt they should be buying. As I am located in Singapore, I can only recommend those that are available here. And because I use yogurt quite a bit in my skin care routine, I’ll recommend two that I’ve tried and are widely available in the supermarkets.
I was recently introduced to Botáni – a range of natural skin care brand created by Australian based naturopath and herbalist, Barbara Filokostas. The brand has been around since 1994 and their range of products are toxic-free, formulated with skin friendly and organic active ingredients to address skin issues and imbalances.
Hello VivaBellas! It’s already November and the year is closing soon. I was reading about blog anniversaries elsewhere and just realized that Viva Woman has been around for five years already and next year is the sixth! Geez…I started this blog when my son was nearly four years old and he’s now coming to nine! Although I’ve actually started blogging earlier, but I’m quite amazed that I’ve been keeping this blog alive for so long. Seriously, I wouldn’t have gone this far without all of your support; I really appreciate that many of you have become a regular in this space. *BIG WAVE*
