The Morning Routine( broke Edition)

Makeup and skin care have been a hype amongst the gen z and the millennials these days.

Both of them are equivalently important depending upon your point of view

Makeup has been perceived very inappropriately by the consumers because of some false internet trends and indirect beauty standards which haven’t been scripted anywhere

For me makeup is

Tools for enhancing an individual’s natural glow by applying products matching their skin tone using Color theory .

Skin care on the other side is important for maintaining your natural skin with respect to the environment we live in . And it’s an essential investment to be done for a healthier skin in long term .

Why have I named this routine THE BROKE EDITION?

Skin care and makeup is for all and thanks to social media people are breaking the barriers .

But makeup for all should be ‘For Everyone’ in economic sense too !

This is a fact that quality and brand name goes hand in hand in the beauty industry but nobody talks about the price point in India .

500 rupees if you spend for your makeup and skin care you barely get any good products.

So does this mean everyone should stop having a routine if it doesn’t fit in the budget?

NO !

In this routine I’ve picked out products that are budget friendly and effective quality wise

And this routine is simple and time saving .

Note - my skin type is Dry and blackhead prone so I’ve used the products accordingly. Before following any kind of routine you see online beaware of your Skin type !

STEP 1

Take an ice cube and gently apply it all over your face in circular motion for 30 seconds

This will tighten your skin and prep it for the steps ahead and wake you up ! It also helps with the puffiness under the eyes

STEP 2

Washing your face or cleansing is really important in order to keep your skin clean and clear free from bacteria and clogged pores

For this step I’m going to use

Nivea Face wash

This face wash is good because it comes in different variants according to your preferred skin type and it has micro beads in it which gives mild exfoliation to your skin

Take a pea sized amount of the product on the palm of your hand

Mix it up with a drop or two of water

Rub it between the two palms

It will form a lather

Gently apply it on your face and neck and massage it in circular motion for about 30 seconds

Rinse it off and pat dry

STEP 3

Moisturising your skin is important to keep it hydrated and soft

I use the Nivea crème moisturizer because it’s lightweight and non sticky

Step 4

This step is optional but necessary if you’re a person who often gets sunburns

I apply this Himalaya Aloe Vera face gel to prevent sun burns as I’m out for a longer period of time and sometimes I do tend to forget to reapply my spf and this really helps with that

You can also use this step other way around

You can cut the aloe Vera leaf from the plant you grow at home or somewhere nearby if you find

You can extract the get from the leaf by cutting it in cross section

You can directly apply it on your skin

Or freeze it up and apply on your skin as a prep just like the first step !

STEP 5

Living in India most of the time we’re exposed to the sun and its harmful UV rays . Our skin is vulnerable to it and therefore it’s important to protect our skin with SPF or sunscreen

I use the Photostable sunscreen because it suits me . You can use the one which suits your skin but make sure the sunscreen does not leave a white cast on your face after application

STEP 6

As I mentioned earlier for me makeup is enhancing your natural skin

So I’m gonna use a tinted moisturiser of maybelline newyork in shade 05

Shake the bottle really well and take a pea size amount of the product

Use your fingertips and gently blend the product in your under eyes or wherever you feel like

STEP 7

I’m gonna take my liquid lipstick or you can use a drugstore tinted lip balm like this Lakmé lip balm

Take a little bit of product on your fingertips and apply it on your cheekbones and nose you may apply on your eyes and lips too !

STEP 8

I really love putting mascara on my lashes but all of the mascaras I have used till date be it the high end or drugstore , at a point when you sweat , it spreads across your eyelids and under eyes

So I’m gonna take some Vaseline and apply it over my lashes

This naturally adds the lifting effect on my eye

STEP 9

Hydrating your lips is super super important so a lip balm or something as simple as coconut oil can be applied on your lips

I use the Nivea lip balm for it

STEP 10

Voila the routine is complete almost…..one last thing , affirmation !

Just look in the mirror say it out loud

"I’m Enough , I’m worthy and beautiful"

Hope you enjoyed reading my routine !

BEING A TEEN IN INDIA :- A REAL LIFE LESSON

So , you’ve heard about how vast the Indian culture is and heritages and all. Yea it’s true we have 29 states and 7 union territories and each state has a different language, dressing and food that too differs in some areas linguistically and dialects too!

American and European teen cultures have been famous worldwide . Parents are friendly , understanding , supportive and in extreme cases they slap their children that’s it.

Well talking about the unheard Indian teen culture , it’s quite the opposite .

In sophomore year there’s a life or death situation for us and our futures. The education system just keeps getting ridiculous day by day and it’s the main thing given importance like everywhere. It was hard for me to cope up back then and the kids these days might have more struggles too…

With parents you can have limited talks depending on how comforting your relationship is . Rules are different for girls and boys . A girl can’t hangout past 9 and dressing sense should be proper (no sleeveless or shorts ) . For boys things are chill long as marks are good

If you’re weak then you’re a burden to the family and if you’re good in studies pressure is build by expectations from people who barely know the real you , it’s just your parents they know

At the age of 15-16 we have to make the toughest and the most confusing choice of our lives . CHOOSING A STREAM . Engineering, Medical , Buisness or Arts and our life choices are ours but constantly they’re questioned by the society making us feel insecure about ourselves.

Economy has been a crisis not only to an individual but to the whole country . Suppose 1$ and 1₹ is equal (hypothetical) so let’s say you have 10$ in your pocket , what can you do …buy some drugstore makeup or have a meal at a fast food chain or buy a basic tshirt or watch a movie etc . Here if you have 10₹ you can barely buy a chocolate or a light snack . And that’s where your economical background starts breaking you down. You’re Rich people worship you and if you’re middle class your personality saves you !

Friendships and relationships are something we all try to handle after all of the above things . But honestly what are they worth for ? Relationships are just a score in Highschool and more emotionally exhausting coz every damn time you wanna hangout, you gotta lie to your parents which you’re secretly maybe guilty about but you have to be it your boyfriend or your guy friend . Next moment you can’t control your feelings or your heart it broken or you’re betrayed by your best friend …who are you gonna share your pain with? Telling your parents …WHOA see you in hell buddy or about friendships , it’ll end up being your fault from their point of view .

But seriously how does that feel when you’re at your worst not ready to face the world and you’re laying in your bed crying and your family thinks you’re sick :) . Now if I broke a glass by mistake not only my family, the whole neighbourhood will know , but my heart, my dreams …yea probably doesn’t matter

But then how do we cope up? Simple looking at your parents faces and the facilities around us . Be it being a better version of yourself or proving others wrong .

There are the consequences of little actions which are unnecessary and sometimes it’s annoying. But 2 lessons every Indian person learns in their teenage is knowing of what’s right and wrong and respecting the culture and Hardwork .

THE LESSON OF FRIENDSHIPS

So I’ve been going through a lot in these past weeks and I really wish I could tell everything but here’s an Important lesson I learnt in my friendship

You see those betrayal scenes about friendship in series and movies which might make you wonder “How Could they Do That? God I am never gonna be Them!” Yes you’re never them but the other person changes the game for no reason

I was a friends with this person and I literally meant it , took lies , talked at 4 am and was there literally everytime . Now there’s this soulmate thingy going on as in a person who they knew barely for half a year manipulated and controlled them which made them choose me over that skunk . Like seriously ? Is that what I am to you ? You ditch a 3 year friendship for some ransome guy ? Damn you’re shit for real

Apart from that I was verbally abused,threatened and body shamed by that guy

It was really hard time for me coz deep down I knew as well as the almighty knows I’ve been a true friend to them and I never deserved to see this day

Okay I wallowed for a few days

But then my inner self told me I need to get out of this !

HOW DID I OVERCOME THE PAIN?

Have you heard the song “FFF” by Bebe Rexha and G-eazy? There’s a line in the song “Friends come and go just like the seasons , without a reason .” It’s true and here’s the reason ⬇️

I had bought this self help book by called “You Deserve Better’’ by famous Singer-songwriter Anne Marie

In the friendships section she wrote

“Your body is different when you’re 7 than at 12 or at 17 . Your voice , your behaviour and your mind they change too . So why do you expect people to stay the same ? Losing a friend hurts but it’s not the end . Life is still there . So carry the good memories learn your lesson and move ahead.’’

The same day Euphoria’s 6th episode of 2nd season was telecasted , Marsha Aka Nate’s mother said something which has struck with me

“Nothing in Highschool is permanent and even if it is don’t let it be’’

Yes it’s true . Make friends and stay in touch but don’t dig in too deep coz in the end you’ll be hurt .

These statements were enough for me . I shared everything with my Best Friend and said goodbye to this chapter of my life and the people yea they’re dead to me :)

I practiced gratitude and saw some TED talks and some uplifting songs bout friendship and boy it helped me

LESSON I LEARNT

• Maintain distance from friends who’re in relationship especially if their partner is controlling

• don’t be too close to anyone even if it’s your bestfriend coz you never know what the other person can do

• Never Ever let Friendship collide with your relationship❗️

I Hope this Helps and send this to anyone who’s going through this :)

A ROSE DAY STORY 🌹

Happy rose day you guys . Don’t wait for others to give you , give it to yourself :)

Well the only rose I want is from Rose Family of Schitts Creek 😂🙂🤍

Okay so here’s the thing that happened to me last year on this very day aka Rose day 2021 which was a Sunday

So I was having assignments to be completed and I was stressed out so my family members took me out on a drive and I noticed 2 Dms from a guy on who I had a huge crush

Lil backstory:- I got to know him through mutuals and because of covid we couldn’t meet and fun fact we have birthdays in the same week 😄

So He texted

Him :- Ayy yo should I post this pic ?

Me:- yea ofcourse it’s super cool

Next day He posted the picture:)

Well it might be that he wanted opinion from a different person or maybe that was intentional . It’s low-key confusing

But after that very week he started asking me to hangout with him ( well ofcourse asking in Valentine’s week is too cheesy and obvious)

But unfortunately I had exams :( and by the time it got Over there was Covid’s second wave 🤦🏻‍♀️ so yea we weren’t able to meet till my 17th birthday and lil confusing and tears came in my way because of him ( no he didn’t text but indirect signals )

He broke my heart as in I wasn’t something he wanted and we didn’t date , I surely wanted to confess him but this happened before that and story is a lil complicated 😬

So I am just a friend to him for namesake as of now and I am trying to move on since nearly 2 months and good thing is I am much better

I really wish I could tell you guys his name but I can’t 😕

But what do you guys think ? Was it intentional or something else ? Comment down below 👇🏻

HAPPY ROSE DAY :)

[therickedkid]

do you ever sabotage your own free time? like wtf is that about? i want to play this game or read or do something specific but instead i will just stare out the window or scroll mindlessly???

REAL HEROES OF MARVEL: POV

Marvel to some might be like before iron man and the whole VFX world was better

To people of my generation IT MEANS THE WHOLE WORLD

But are you still thinking the Multiverse before phase 4 was better or NAHH it’s just got more good after that well I’ll definitely talk about this in some other blog but comment down below 👇🏻 what you think

Getting back to the point

Now it’s not a hidden fact that Marvel has VFX for literally everything (who doesn’t these days 😅) .Have you ever thought you like hulk or Thor or Spider-Man then why you like em ?

Well they all have their struggles ok the stories are motivating but on the real side what is that hero without it ?

So every superhero in the MCU or outside it (deadpool ,wolverine etc) even they have some or the other superpowers . Ok it’s cool sometimes but don’t you think it’s like getting too much hype

No seriously if you see Clint Barton or Natasha Romanoff or Steve Rogers surely they have their weapons but no superpower they’re natural 🙂 ofc there is VFX but they’re just the soldiers with weapons and some power

Ok Iron Man is dead but seriously why do you guys like him soo much ? I mean he himself admitted that after the masks on everything is vfx . Ok no offence he’s cool but he’s dead ☠️

So Watch Hawkeye and I know it won’t amuse you it’s simple but it’s a real hero ig who just has the arrows and maybe the ronin’s sword .

MANIC - Halsey 17/1/2020

This Iconic Album turns 2 today created by the one and only Ashley Nicolette Frangipane /Halsey

Her songs have always hit different amongst teens as well as adults. She rose to fame in early 2010’s and gained recognition by 2013-2014 and her hit single was Colours

•BEFORE THE

So as you have known in 2017 she met this Man Gerald aka G-eazy and astrologically they were a Gemini libra power couple and even released a single called Him&I but in 2018 it was rumoured that he cheated on her .So they called it quits

But Halsey wasn’t over with it. She went through pain and the pain turned out in a heartfelt smash Hit “Without Me”. She kept on releasing music which included her collaboration with BTS and dated 2 guys and eventually broke up but her music never paused and she kept touring

•ABOUT THE ALBUM

She released “WITHOUT ME” in 2018 and Nightmare , Graveyard, clementine and finally beautiful stranger in 2019 and You should be sad just a Week before the album release .Following its release, Manic was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the US, becoming the first album released in 2020 to achieve this. Music production was mainly handled by Halsey herself with the addition of frequent and new collaborators, such as Benny Blanco, Cashmere cat and others. Musically, Manic is primarily an electropop, hip hop, and alternative rock record with influences of several other genres, including country, K-pop, pop, and R&B. Halsey described the album as changing its mind as much as she does.To promote the album, Halsey planned to embarked on her third concert tour, the Manic World Tour, following its release, but after 17 shows it was postponed, then cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The cover art shows “H3 A01” to represent her third album as Halsey and the first album as Ashley, Halsey's real name. This suggests that Halsey is opening up and showing her true self, rather than hiding behind the cover of the name Halsey. •POV. I survived my teenage listening to Halsey and the first song that I heard was Now or never in 2017 so for this album I was too excited and I was 15 back then. I used to wait at late night for her music video premieres and heard the album and just couldn’t get enough of it. It wasn’t just about heartbreaks or the aftermath for me it was about getting more strong . I was going through a lot in those day (I still am) but this Album made it easier •I posted this photo on Instagram for her birthday the following year

So today I have texted her on twitter 😬🤞🏻let’s see what happens 😀

Here’s the album :)

MAKAR SAKRANTI

Makar Sankranti or Uttarayan means ‘transfer’, this day is considered as the transition day of Sun into the Capricorn. This is also called kite 🪁 flying day.

Here in Gujrat we have 15th January as Vasi Uttrayan or another day for flying kites

So every year we have this kite festival but due to covid it’s currently not held in the past 2 years . But big celebrities also have visited here !

So at night we fly lightning kites and hot air balloons which currently have been banned because it puts fire in houses and caused destruction in many places

REAL THING

Festives are made for enjoyment but we should look towards environmental issues too . The kite strings cause harm to birds and sometimes civilians when they’re walking on streets

Stay safe guys !

•FOOD

We eat this chikki or sugar cookies made out of seeds and nuts as a snack

This is undhiyu which is a winter special dish made with different vegetables or basically a mix veg dish that has been a traditional dish for over a century now

• What Do I do ?

Well I celebrate it every year by going to the terrace just for dancing 🤪 and enjoying the music and praise the people around me who fly kites ! but this year I am staying home coz my bestie has covid so for her wellness I am not going anywhere 🙂.

BODY POSITIVE NOTE

That is Kat Hernandez aka Barbara Ferreira who’s shown as a person insecure about her body but eventually gives up and becomes a badass

So every single person out their who’s been either bullied or been insecure about their body this whole time …it’s your time to give up

It’s still January and it’s still the beginning of the new year and I don’t wanna see you cry literally any day of this year thinking that he left you coz you’re fat or you’re abandoned for your looks or that store incharge says “sorry we don’t Have your size”.

Yes you should workout and eat healthy and maintain yourself but no one has right to comment about your body and the way you look

That girl in the picture felt more strong when she came out of that insecurity and you could be the next …

“People talk shit but you’re a bad bitch. ”😎
