Hi all! I’m back with an old but reliable mask recipe for all the oily skinned girls (or guys) out there. I actually posted this recipe not too far back, but I’ll be using this mask today so might as well share ’em with y’all.
Due to the humidity and all of the fried and oily foods I stuffed my face with yesterday without a care in the world, my skin is paying the price today. This recipe has helped me maintain oil control in the past so hopefully with a couple of uses, my skin will be back to its oily state and not excessively oily like it is now.
No regrets though because I had a BLAST last night. For dinner, we reserved a whole section from the buffet; when we walked in with like 40 people, everyone was looking at us really weird. Haha. Big family FTW! But yeah, caught up with my kid cousins and their first week back from school, caught up with my Aunt that will be leaving to Nebraska in two days and it was especially great to see those who flew in from Pennsylvania. Last time I saw them was probably 14 years ago in Vietnam. Speaking of Vietnam, I wanna go back! Someone come with me?!
Not everything went peachy though. You know when someone who hasn’t seen you in a so long, one of the first questions out of their mouth are “Are you married yet?” followed by “Boyfriend then?”…Ahhh…My aunts and Mom decided to bug and nag me about it for the rest of the night. Like literally nagging me about getting married ASAP. Like seriously…? I don’t even have a boyfriend people. Of all the “children”, I am the oldest at 24, followed by my brother who is 20, who is also single. This is where double standards kick in full swing, it’s not okay for me to still be single or even have the idea of not getting married at all. However, it’s totally fine for my brother to still be single or even wanting to hold off marriage for another ten years. Ooooi the headache! WHY AM I STILL SINGLE?!?!?!?!? The struggle is real and getting harder by the day. I’m probably gonna hear an earful of nags on my birthday in two months. “Lucky girls your age are already married with one or two kids, and what are you doing at 25?” Fun…
