small life lessons we can all pick up from audrey hepburn β‘
be kind: what is more beautiful than someone who is genuinely kind? there was no doubt audrey had a huge heart! among her many amazing qualities this is what also magnified her beauty, she was a philanthropist and did humanitarian work around the world, constantly at aid to the people who needed it. audrey hepburn believed in kindness, she treated everyone around her with respect.
when you are kind your aura immediately becomes brighter, you attract what you put out into the world and people who are the same will naturally gravitate towards you because of the positive energy youβre putting out. treat everyone around you how you would like to be treated, say your pleases and thank youβs, give out compliments, and most importantly spread love!
βfor beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.β ~ audrey hepburn
βremember, if you ever need a helping hand, itβs at the end of your arm. as you get older, remember you have another hand: the first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.β ~ audrey hepburn
learn languages: audrey was fluent in 6 languages! learning a new language brings you closer to the people and the culture for sure, and improves so many functions in your brain as well! It brings you so many job opportunities, and more of an excuse to travel the world!
the best part about learning a language in the twenty first century is that there is access to soooo much information for free online! youtube, tumblr, and language exchange apps have so much information when it comes to common languages people are learning around the world.
audrey speaking italian β‘:
be graceful: audrey hepburn exuded grace, despite all of the hardships she experienced in life including the natzi occupation in her home which resulted into a lot of unfortunate events, she still followed the things close to her heart like practicing ballet and attending classes before and after the occupation, becoming a actress and movie star, and devoting her time and energy to UNICEF. what a hard working woman!
audrey also had amazing posture from her ballet background and spoke to everyone soft and smoothly, it was so pleasant to hear her speak!
being graceful makes you radiate from the inside out, itβs in how you speak to yourself and others, itβs how you carry yourself, itβs giving your best to everything you do and are passionate about and wanting to better yourself as a person, itβs walking with confidence with everything you do that it will rub off on the people around you as well! walk tall with your shoulders back and chin held high, walk into your grace and own it!
apply these 3 things to your daily life and watch yourself slowly bloom into a person who is improving day by day into a lovely human being β‘
creating a routine can help you stay organized and make the most of your time. to help you design a routine that works for you, take a look at these steps:
identify your goals: think about what you want to achieve with your routine. this could be related to work, study, personal projects, or self-care.
prioritize tasks: list out the tasks you need to accomplish and prioritize them based on importance and deadlines.
set specific times: allocate specific times for each task. try to be realistic about how long each task will take.
include breaks: make sure to schedule regular breaks to rest and recharge. this can help you stay focused and avoid burnout.
be flexible: while itβs important to stick to your routine, allow some flexibility for unexpected events or changes in your schedule.
review and adjust: periodically review your routine to see whatβs working and what isnβt. make adjustments as needed to improve your productivity and well-being.
start small: if youβre new to routines, start with a few key tasks and gradually build up as you get more comfortable.
stay consistent: consistency is key to forming habits. try to follow your routine every day, even on weekends.

In the book The Hidden Messages in Water Dr. Masaru Emoto shares his research showing how water crystals change shape depending on the energy, words, music & thoughts theyβre exposed to. Water is more than just hydration itβs a living & feeling element. High vibration words like thank you or love create pretty symmetrical crystals & negative words lead to distorted, chaotic ones. When water is spoken to with love, gratitude, beauty etc it holds that energy and the same goes for fear, anger, or sadness. Since our bodies are made mostly of water, our words and emotions we donβt just float away, they shape us. Literally. Water holds memory & that memory becomes part of us
Because water absorbs all these things, you can use it as a vessel to program your intentions and call in what you desire
Hold your glass or bottle of water. Get grounded. Breathe deep. Tap into the emotion of what you want
Then speak or think of your intention
Say it out loud or whisper it gently to the water like for example:
βI am magnetic to everything meant for meβ
Donβt just say the words, feel them. Water responds to your frequency more than anything else. Then drink it slowly and imagine the intention entering your cells. Visualize your body and life aligning with it
You can also write your affirmation on your water bottle or on a piece of paper under it
Place it in sunlight or moon light to amplify its energy
Or play high vibration music near it

Salicylic Acid β Best for oily and acne-prone skin. It penetrates deep into the pores, unclogs blackheads and whiteheads, controls excess oil, and prevents breakouts.
Glycolic Acid β Ideal for normal to oily skin. It exfoliates the top layer, brightens the skin, improves texture, and reduces fine lines and hyperpigmentation.
Lactic Acid β Suitable for dry and sensitive skin. It gently exfoliates while providing hydration, making it great for dullness and rough texture without irritation.
Mandelic Acid β Best for sensitive and acne-prone skin. It helps with uneven skin tone, reduces breakouts, and provides mild exfoliation without irritation.
Azelaic Acid β Works for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It reduces redness, fades hyperpigmentation, treats acne, and calms rosacea.
Kojic Acid β Best for hyperpigmented and sun-damaged skin. It helps lighten dark spots, melasma, and discoloration caused by acne scars or sun exposure.

Mandelic Acid: A mild exfoliant that improves texture without drying.
Combination Skin
Glycolic Acid (AHA): Brightens skin and smooths texture.

Common Mistakes When Using Skincare Acids
Using skincare acids can transform your skin, but when used incorrectly, they can cause irritation, sensitivity, or even worsen skin concerns. Here are some common mistakes to avoid:
1. Over-Exfoliating
Many people think using glycolic or salicylic acid daily will give them faster results, but excessive exfoliation weakens the skin barrier. This can lead to redness, peeling, breakouts, and sensitivity. (especially for oily skin)
Solution: Use exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs) 2-3 times per week and always listen to your skin. If it feels irritated, take a break pleaaase
2. Skipping Sunscreen
Acids like glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acid increase your skinβs sensitivity to the sun. Without SPF, you risk sunburn, premature aging, and even worsening of dark spots.
Solution: Always use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily when using serums with those acids.
3. Mixing the Wrong Acids
Not all acids work well together. Using too many active ingredients in one routine can cause irritation.
π΄ Examples of bad combinations:
Vitamin C + AHAs/BHAs β Can cause irritation and weaken Vitamin Cβs effectiveness.
Retinol + AHAs/BHAs β Too harsh on the skin, leading to peeling and sensitivity. (by experience ππ»ββοΈ)
Niacinamide + Vitamin C (unless properly formulated) β Can cause flushing or reduce effectiveness.
Solution: Use exfoliating acids on alternate days and simplify your routine to avoid irritation.
4. Not Hydrating Properly
Exfoliating acids remove dead skin cells but can also strip away moisture. Without proper hydration, the skin can feel tight, dry, or irritated.
Solution: After using acids, apply thick a moisturizer to maintain balance especially if the acids dry ur skin so fast

Are you struggling to deal with negative thoughts? Itβs something that happens to all of us. Thatβs why Iβve put together this guide to help you break free from them. With practice, youβll leave behind old negative thought patterns and adopt new, more positive ones. Remember, itβs also important to feel and accept our emotions, but we canβt allow a negative thought or belief to ruin our emotional well-being.
1. Redirect Your Thoughts β Consciously shift your focus to something positive, like a happy memory or a recent achievement.
2. Write in a Journal β Express your emotions freely in writing to process and release them.
3. Meditation & Visualization β Practice guided meditation or visualize a peaceful, anxiety-free future.
4. Create a βNo-Thought Zoneβ β Set specific times when you completely forbid yourself from thinking about the issue. If needed, postpone it to a set time later in the day.
5. Use Positive Affirmations β Repeat phrases like βI am at peace with my decisionsβ or βI let go of what no longer serves me.β
6. Focus on the Present β Stay grounded by paying attention to your breath, bodily sensations, and surroundings.
7. Engage in Enjoyable Activities β Keep your mind occupied with hobbies, exercise, movies, or socializing to cultivate emotional well-being.
