Kidney stone detox recipe

I've read this post from my blogger friend poshpost so I'm sharing it with you here is the recipe and a part of her post:

1:1:1 of Fresh Radish Juice, Lemon Juice, and Extra Virgin Olive OilI take the special concoction three times a day, about 30 minutes before each meal. I did this for like two weeks. But since the pain was gone, I stopped. Two weeks later, I just passed out my stone easily. No bleeding and no irritation at all.Although I was told to just take a total of 3 Tbsps., I would take more, thinking that there is no overdose of these juices. So i downed whatever I made. I had to make the radish juice fresh everytime I have to drink it.So if you have kidney stones, this is a very good therapy.

Beta Hydroxy Acid and Alpha Hydroxy Acid

You probably heard of Beta Hydroxy Acid or BHA it is an excellent ingredient for those wishing to clean inside the pores. This product is best in lotion form after the cleansing stage and is swiped all over the face to remove deep down into the pores. It is harmless for even sensitive skin, as its main ingredient is an anti-inflammatory. It is highly recommended for skin prone to blemishes and blackheads.

Alpha Hydroxy Acid also known as AHA is designed to exfoliate on top of the skin to remove excess skin cells. The most effective AHA’s are glycolic acid or lactic acid. High potencies can be irritating for sensitive skin.

How to choose the right beauty products

Choosing the right products on your skin and hair is not really that hard but you just need to record the products that you have been using and also its effects. Choosing an expensive one over the affordable products is not always the case. It is much important to use or buy products that deliver the best performance on your skin or hair. You can list it in your beauty diary if possible. List the best combination products that you are using. For instance I have been using different brands on facial wash, soap, deodorant, toner, face cream, body lotion, face powder and loose powder. I list the different brands that go well if used together. Remember that the five basic skin care for clear skin is cleanse, exfoliate, tone, moisturize and protect.

Do you know that for these five basic steps I used different brands on my skin? The reason was that I’ve been loyal to the other products in the past until now or I cannot possibly afford the other products within the same brand. I also believe that if it delivers the same effect on my skin then why do I have to pay for more? Well wise spending is still the best. So when you already list the products that you have been using you have to observe the effects on your skin. If the products that you are using causes reddening or pimples then junk the product and retain the ones that works best.

What Kind of A shopper are you?

I have answered a few questions on this site and here are the results:




You Are a Loyal Shopper



You are a very picky shopper and tend to be loyal to a few brands.

You are willing to pay extra to buy from a brand you trust.



Of all the types, you're the most likely to own many designer items.

You don't seek out sales as much as most people... unless it's a sale at your favorite store!

Skin Whitening Cream that I’ve been using


I’ve been using Nivea Visage Day Cream for more than six years already. The first nivea visage day cream that I’ve used in my early twenties is the one with a tube container but over the years they have changed their formulations and container. I’ve used the one in cream form in the past which is specifically for twenty something but now I’ve already applied the nivea visage whitening cream for thirty plus because of my age. The cream for thirty plus ladies is specifically formulated for age defying effects and it has more SPF/UVA sunscreen to delay ageing.

What makes me loyal to this kind of whitening cream is that it really hydrates my skin and it doesn’t clog pores or cause reddening or pimples like the other products that I’ve tried in the past. In terms of the whitening effects It does not deliver the performance that I’ve expected but in terms of giving moisture and hydration my rating is perfect ten. My total rating for this product is 8/10. How about you have you tried Nivea Visage? What cream or lotion have you been using on your skin and what are the effects?
