Do it Yourself

One fine morning, I woke up cursing the sun as usual; I was about to make tea for my mom. And guess what? The unfortunate happened! The milk started curdling as soon as I lit the stove. Bam!

Loss of milk is another thing but it is considered a ‘bad luck’ in my place if the milk curdles for no reason! (I’m a non-believer though!) However, I managed to figure the reason behind the mishap is none other than my dad; he had totally forgotten to store the milk in the refrigerator before the sunrise. Considering the hot weather in Chennai, it is no wonder the milk has curdled! Nevertheless, I made tea for my mom with freshly boiled milk later. She loves ginger tea! (but hates it if I suggest her to use honey instead of white sugar! Err)

So where did all the curdled milk go?! Into my DIY tan removal face pack! (Trust me, IT works!)

Let me share my experience with you now!

There are few face masks that I swear by and I use it often, probably not on a regular basis but I know that it will for sure help me in certain situations. One such face mask is this almond, honey and milk face mask. I started experimenting with almonds on skin as I do not like to eat nuts much.

I think it was during one of the Diwali times, that I received a hell lot of almonds as gift and I did not know what to do with it. So I tried to incorporate them in my regular face packs. So at the end of many permutations and combinations with a lot of face packs, I ended up with this one, which is my favorite face mask of all times. 3 ingredients and hell lot of benefits giving amazing results on the skin. You need to use it to believe it!

Time flies by so quickly! That is exactly what I felt as I was flipping through my old photo albums a few days ago. To a great many of you, photo albums might be a thing of the past. Right? Mobile phones, sorry SMART phones with cameras have long replaced photo albums. Well I am not whining but somewhere the charm and innocence that that era of 90s had where watching photos in family get-togethers was a grand affair itself coupled with a piping hot cup of tea and light banter, is missing today.

Anyway, while going through one such album of mine, I saw my childhood pictures. The first thing that exploded in my mind was to set “some” of those hideous photos to fire but I resisted the temptation for they reminded me of how I can look hideous and pose like a diva back in childhood unlike these days when a minor flaw must be concealed to look picture – perfect!

Oh nostalgia! Finally, I came across one picture of mine which was taken immediately after I recovered from a degenerative bout of what might be the top cause of me locking myself in my room today. Without further ado, let me confess it was ACNE!

Apart from the routine medication and mom’s unstinted efforts to rid me off it, I remember my maternal grandmother’s “gharelu nuskha” (home remedy) to rid me off its scars.  And thanks to mom’s and granny’s efforts, I recovered well. So, I thought of penning the same remedy for you all.
