Oil cleansing method vs. Ignore your face care

So, somehow (time on pinterest :D)  I heard for oil cleansing method and naturally since that is womanly thing to do, when someone says that something will maybe make your skin look beautiful I had to try it :D..

I see that garnier invented something like that with jojoba& macadamia oils.


Since I am more of a DIYer and I also had all ingredients laying around the house collecting dust, I took out olive oil and castor oil and mixed them in a small bottle (50:50) . I also added few drops of tea tree drops.


I took a few drops of mixture, put it on my face and put hot towel and waited for it to cool down. Than I washed my face with water. I did it  maybe 3 times and then stopped. I stopped because my skin never broke out so badly as after that one oil thing. Apparently my combination skin didn't like it and I was afraid to continue.  And it was somewhat of a time consumer anyway :D


Immediately , I switched to minimal face care. I wash my face with water every morning and evening and before I go out of the house I put some face cream vulgaris. I use make up remover to remove what is left of make up after water (mostly mascara, BB cream and concealer is washed with water). And I use facial tissues only , that is important too I think.


I realized that my skin always looked best when I ignored it! That goes specially for picking on face/zits.

As for the rest of oil mixture I think I will try to use it as make up remover. It dissolves waterproof makeup really nice. And it is cheaper. And castor oil is, according to my mum :D, great for lash growth.

Parks and recreation


I love marathoning tv shows. Depends whether it is exam month or vacation month, if I am not playing something on my computer or studying, then I am watching tv shows. I like tv shows more than movies and especially I like those 20 minutes long sitcoms. I always wait until season is ended to watch it. I cant be the only one doing that?! :D

 Recently I finished Parks and recreation and now I am waiting for season 6 to end airing so I can start watching it. Parks and recreation is a show about parks department in small town called Pawnee in Indiana. Main character is Leslie Knope and her career is followed through seasons. She is a perky workaholic that proves that everything can be done with a lot of work and even more sugar. Show is filled with sarcasm which is my favorite type of humor.  And I cant wait for the new Ron Swanson quotes. He would be on my top 10 favorite characters, if I had a list like that.

My favorite quotes are :


There’s only one thing I hate more than lying: skim milk. Which is water that’s lying about being milk.

The government is a greedy piglet that suckles on a taxpayer’s teat until they have sore, chapped nipples.

Leslie: “Why would anybody ever eat anything besides breakfast food?”
Ron: “People are idiots, Leslie.”
 
Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing.

And he also has his pyramid
