Beauty Tip: Clean The Arms Of Your Glasses

Beauty Tip: Clean The Arms Of Your Glasses

Do you wear glasses? If you do, especially the ones with thick sides (did a bit of Googling; they are called “arms” :P), here’s a tip/reminder for you: do remember to clean the insides of the arms before you put your glasses on after you have cleansed your face.

Often after a day with or without makeup, the arms of the glasses will have collected the makeup and grime from your face. You may not notice that the arms get very dirty if they are thin, but I’m sure you will if they are thick. Mine’s positively grubby with oil!

If the arms are thick, they attracts more dirt. The insides rub against your skin all day, and the foundation, powder and oil stick to the arms. The arms of the glasses have to be cleaned before wearing them after you have cleansed your face. If you put them on without giving the insides a clean first, you’re essentially just putting the grime back on your clean skin.

This goes to say that you should also clean the small rubber-thingies on the nose ๐Ÿ˜‰

Have fun cleaning!

Bloggie Wednesdays: Writing Controversial Posts

Bloggie Wednesdays: Writing Controversial Posts

A couple of months ago, I blogged on a topic that stepped on quite a few toes. If you haven’t read it, do check it out and let me know what you think. It took me quite a long time to write, and I deliberated even longer before even hitting that “Publish” button.

It drew mixed response from the readers, and particularly so for one.

I wasn’t sure how to respond to that comment, which was why I consulted LeGeeque and Paris B on what I did, how I should write my reply, etc. In the end, all comments were replied, but it got me thinking. Was writing a controversial piece like this worth it? Was it valuable to the blog?

Take a walk around the blogosphere and you’ll notice that controversial posts often drive a lot of comments. They can be positive ones if they support the blogger, but a lot of them can also be negative. Sometimes the negative comments can be downright nasty. I’ve often seen bloggers taking a swipe at each other on controversial topics; one blogger slams the writer of the article, and then the friends of the writer come in and defend the writer by cyber-bashing that blogger. More people come in and take sides. Lo and behold, it becomes a cat fight on the blog.

If you want to drive traffic to your blog, one of the ways to do so is to write controversial posts. You will either receive positive or negative reactions to your article. Something to always be aware of is this: you must be prepared for any form of reaction that comes right after you hit that “Publish” button.

This Beauty Blogger’s Bad Beauty Habits

This Beauty Blogger's Bad Beauty Habits

If I had a dollar each time I succumbed to a bad beauty habit of mine, well, I’d be a millionaire by now. All the things you read in glossies, in beauty blogs, advice from experts, etc, all the “do not do this” and “do not do that“, chances are I’ve done them all and still am doing. I may have also advised you the same, and yet I do them too. Tsk tsk. Yes, I still call myself a beauty blogger.

Oh yes, I have some bad beauty habits. Most were developed from young, which made them very difficult to shake off. So, in the interest of full disclosure because that’s the type of blogger I am (ahem!), here they are. Be warned, some are quite disgusting ๐Ÿ˜›
