Acne: The horror of the four letter word

Acne vulgaris

Acne! Zits! Pimples!

These words equals horror on sight and disaster on date! NO one deserves to get them but unfortunately, this is the natural cycle that most teenagers and even young adults go through.

You know that cute little toy up there? It's the bacteria causing acne. Not so cute anymore right? 

So what are pimples and how exactly do you get them?

First up; Lets talk about the natural state of our face.

Our face, no matter how different they are, have one thing in common-Hair. It might not seem like we have any hair on our face but if you look close enough, you can spot many fine tiny hairs on them. These hairs, will probably not bother you on normal days, but however, during puberty these hair follicles are the one that causes you to have pimples.

So how does it happen?

During puberty, our hormone causes an increase in secretion of sebum or oil and these materials will be secreted out through the hair follicles. These excess sebum causes the pores holding the hair follicles to get clogged up and if left there for a long period, it could get congested causing whitehead. This whitehead could later turn into blackhead when it is oxidized. These whiteheads or blackheads could become infected by bacteria and become inflamed, pain and red. This will then be called acne.

Strangely, even though acne are mostly associated with girls, many guys experience these problems too.  I believe however that they are less vocal about their feelings and thus creating an image that guys do not normally get acne as compared to girls. Sorry girls, but you're wrong about that. Guys do indeed get pimples and it is usually more frequent as compared to girls!

Why? The reason is largely due to the male hormones, testosterone. Testosterone causes increase in secretion of sebum and thus guys are more likely to get clogged pores as compared to girls. 

So why does it hurts so much when you have pimples?

The reason for the pimples to hurt is largely because it becomes inflamed. As our skin are filled with many types of receptors and in this case the pain receptor, it causes the acne and the skin surrounding the acne to hurt. 

So with that, I end my introduction to acne. I hope it answer some question for you. Do email or leave a comment on the chatbox if you want to know more. :)

The rise of the GEM

Well, I'm not talking about the sparkling gem you're about to dig out from the earth, I'm talking about the more prominent gems in our lives, someone that you might have met and fall in love with and soon, everything revolves around that one person, until they begin to obsessively stalk you. These people are known as the Green Eye Monsters or in short, GEMs.

Wanting to be near your partner and be part of whatever he is doing is common, especially when yours is a young budding love. However in time, when the first flush of romance slows down and both of you begin to fall into your usual routine before you were a couple, a tugging feeling will ensue. Questions will start popping up in both your minds. "Why hasn't he call me?" "Is he seeing someone else?" "He sounds different today?"

It is common to be plague by questions like this as always, the first few months of courtship will be both exciting and enticing, but what is left after that will be sustained by Patience, endurance, commitment and love alone. As much as we girls want to feel the romance we first felt during the months of courtship throughout our lives, there's a high chance that you might not want to keep that expectations to high.

However, if you start calling him 20 times a day just to check his whereabouts and texting him every few seconds asking him what he's doing at that instance, you might be in the category of the GEMs.

Being a GEM and living with one, is two different yet the same thing. If you are on the receiving end of the GEM, you'll be miserable and scared. He would not make you feel secure as every act of yours, even going out with your girlfriends will be scrutinised. Your movement will be limited and soon you'll be devoid of social life. Vice versa, if you're the one being the GEM, you'll make your partner life miserable as well as yours. All the time you have will be used digging out info from your partner, checking through their phones and suspecting them of cheating on you. Both events lead to the same consequences. Misery.

Wait! Before you go about thinking there's no cure and you're doom, the most important thing is recognizing the signs. If you're a GEM, pace yourself. Your insecurity might be due to lack of self confidence. Maybe cause he's so handsome and you don't think you're pretty, or that you feel that you're not attractive and he's the only guy that will be that perfect and never want to let him go.

Girls, if you do realize by now, holding on tighter to a guy will only scare them away. Let them be themselves and they will come back to you. However, if your partner is a Green eye Monster then you must be patient with him. Try to explain to him gently that you need your own personal time and assure him now and then that you love him just the same. If that doesn't work and he becomes worst than before and nothing else works, it's time to break free.

Heel's the word!

Hey girls :) we're going to talk about the different type of heels there is. As heels are one of girls most important assets to make you look both sexy and alluring, it's time to really know your heels! :) Here are some of the most common heels.

Unlike the round-toes pump, the front of the heels are pointed. Usually gives off the image that the woman is a career woman and has sure directions in life.


Peep toes heels
















A tiny opening at the front which allows few of your toes to peep out. It's very trendy these days to be wearing one of this. Can be use both for work and casual. However, do make sure you do some manicure first, or else it'll look like something out of a horror movie.

How to E-shop

Hey hey, if you're new to e-shopping, here's a few tips for you :)

E-shopping can be both a boon or a bane. The great thing about e-shopping is that, you do not have to leave the comfort of your home to shop but the not so great thing is that, you CAN'T TRY OUT the products.

As it is so, you have to learn to be a smart consumer and do your best in picking a reliable source to purchased from. It does not mean that, if it looks nice on a model, it would have to look nice on you. A lot of factor determines the outcome of how the dress, t-shirts, skirts or blouse would look on you so be very, very careful when you buy clothes. Remember, some clothing on display is purely for illustrations purposes so that they can flaunt their clothing the best way to you; Just like the real estates when they show you a house on display. :)

So here's some friendly tips for you:

1. Before you buy ANY clothing online, make sure to measure your waist, hips, bust and you length from shoulders to knees (depending on the clothing length) Armed with that knowledge, you are now prepared to have a little fun splurging on online shopping! (If you're buying heels, measure your feet length)

2. When you see some clothes that interest you, check the cloths measurements. Most cloths online are free size so you won't have to worry about it.

3.When you have decided to buy that clothes, don't immediately e-mail that person. Do some research! Just goggle out that owner of that e-shop username and check if she/he is blacklisted. It's very important to make sure that they are not blacklisted by anyone before banking in your cash!

4.If you can't seem to find anything bad OR good about that user, just take your chances if you really, really like that clothes or products. Sometimes it might be worth the gamble and sometimes not. So purchasing is definitely at your own risk.

5.If you are still unsure, try purchasing a cheaper product like maybe some accessories that cost you less than RM10. This way, you can gauge the reliability of the seller and that way, if the seller is totally unreliable, you won't loss that much money. :)

6.Lastly, if you are satisfied with the product, remember to mark the site down for future purchases and also do write up about it in online shopping community so that the others will know who to trust. Likewise, if the product is below satisfactory, let others know as well. It's good to be giving to others, and who know, one day you'll be safe by another person giving-ness :)
