Lip Care

How do you take care of your lips?

Here are some ways to do that...

• Drink plenty of water, thoroughly hydrate your skin, including lips.
• Avoid harsh weather. If this is impossible, make sure you always protect your lips by applying a lip balm.
• Try using the lip balms regularly. If you wait until you have chapped lips, the recovery will take longer.
• Try not to lick your lips or remove the skin with your fingers. It irritates the skin, and slows down any efforts we invest in lip care.
• Make sure you take vitamin supplements. Often, cracks in the corner of the mouth indicate a deficiency of Vitamin B2.

Start off with a lip scrub recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• Olive oil

Mix honey and baking ingredients until the mass resembles a paste.
Apply the mix on your lips and leave it on for a couple of minutes.
Gently rub the lips.
Wash of with lukewarm water

Let the lips dry out and then apply olive oil. It will help the lips hydrate.

Cassava

I don't have much time every morning to prepare a heavy breakfast for me and my tot. Almost always, its only her who have eaten her breakfast before going to school. 

So at school because its just near the market like maximum of 5 minutes walk, every morning I go there to buy me a breakfast. Or any food I can find that I want to eat.

Like this boiled cassava. It became my official food. :) There are varieties of food made of cassava I just don't know the names. Haha! I will update you next time.
