AliceWonders.com is currently having a campaign in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October! This awesome campaign's aim is to create awareness among young women to exercise self-examination. How do you do that? It's easy. Just follow these 3 steps: Step 1 Look for changes in the mirror. Step 2 Feel for changes Step 3 Look for bleeding or discharge from nipple I don't want to go into tooo much detail, it is always best you watch a video . Self-Check: How To Become Breast Self Aware (source: videojug.com) It is very very VERY important to carry out a self breast examination as my aunty, who is in her mid 30s has found last year that she's diagnosed with breast cancer. While watching TV, she came across a guide to self breast examination. When she followed that, she felt a lump in her left breast. Thankfully she has gone through operation and chemo therapy, now that she's getting back her health again. So GIRLS, please please carry out the self breast examination. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer in women, although often found in older women but this doesn't mean young women would not get it. In fact, younger women diagnosed with breast cancer often experience a more aggressive cancer and lower chances of survival. This fact alone is enough to make early detection and breast self exam crucial for younger women. You can also choose to donate, for every purchase on Pink Ribbon items from AliceWonders.com RM10-15 will be donated to National Cancer Society of Malaysia. ![]() October is a month of Breast Cancer Awareness.

my diet starts from tomorrow! (seriously)
though I've maintained my weight ever since I lost weight just few months ago, I feel like I've gainedweight again .. T_T or maybe it's just me seeing an illusion. IDK. But whatever it is, I hereby swear that I will hit the gym tomorrow. one of the blog that I read everyday, Hui Wen "Revel-in-me" has recently posted about her acne problem that she's facing right now. I too, having the same problem right now! my acne history starts like this. I had bad acne problem I think when i was 15 or 16, where zits kept on popping up every morning and all I did was to just squeeeeeze them 'cause I couldn't control my itchy hands. and I never took care of them and didn't know how to and I just suffered for like good 1 year or so I think. I really hate my skin so much 'cause when it comes to pimples, they only appear on cheeks. Red pimples on cheeks. You know how ugly they are right. But after a year or so, it miraculously went off and all I had was scars. But they too, vanished as time goes. I think after another year or so I had a really good skin and trust me, a lot of people (not only friends, but random people like sales girl at boutique or the customer of the shop where I used to work) started asking me what skincare/foundation I use my skin looks so flawless! I was soo happy with my skin although I did nothing about it. But, I think another few years has passed and the bloody pimples came back again. This time I knew the reason, it's because I had an ovary cyst which delayed my period for like 3 months. My cyst has grown big and it affected my hormone balance and it just went all nuts. Zits started popping up. one after another. every single day I had to face a new pimple and sighed at myself. I totally did not want to meet anyone, and what pained me the most was when people asked "omg, kei, what happened to your skin?!?!" I did not do shit okay! it just happened just like that. I was really fucking depressed. but after a while, I started taking birth control pill. and this helped really a lot. I no longer suffered from pimples though it happened occasionally before the time of the month, all my scars had cleared up and I had an okay-skin. And. NOW. after 2 years of taking pills, I stopped taking them sometimes in March this year. Since then, now again I'm not having my period regularly. Sometimes it come in 1 month time sometimes it doesn't come for like 2 months. and thus pimples on my cheek ...... T_____T Please do not tell me I should sleep early, eat more vege, don't eat oily food or don't eat chocolate. Because I'm the healthiest person you'd find in this universe. I eat at home most of the time and I do not like oily food and I don't even eat anything sweet anymore. I eat vege more than meat because I don't like to eat meat wtf Seriously there's nothing that I can do about this!! I'm thinking maybe I shold go back to pill again afterall, but I am scared will my pimples come backafter I stop taking them again? T_T for now I'm doing greentea mask everyday. DIY one. very easy to make. mix like 3g of greentea leaves and flour and put water and stir til it's thick enough to apply on face. You can add honey also. Honey works well on pimples. Apparently greentea helps to kill the germs and soothe your skin and evens out the tone. This mask is quite effective I've used it before when I had pimple scars. It worked last time but this time so far I'm not too sure because I've only started doing it today. And also I've purchased Dermedex products just now, hope it helps to clear up my pimples.. I want to make birth control pills as my last resort cause, I want to get my period regular naturally. I do not want to depend on drugs if possible. Sigh. Lastly, totally irrelevant, but here you go. Picture of me and sweeling taken 2 days ago. ![]() |
