‘The Ordinary’ Acne Solutions

Katie is a wonderful, wonderful teenager-she is a studious kid, representative of the student council..hence, loved by every student of her class, in fact, loved by everyone in the school..she is the teacher’s favorite and surprise surprise! She is beautiful and does the ballet. So, she has wonderful parents who couldn’t be happier with their daughter’s achievements and behavior..but they had no idea that what was coming onto them in upcoming weeks.

Katie was a teenager so she was facing a lot of changes..physically,mentally,emotionally and psychologically..she suddenly started noticing redness on her face and had itchiness, her face had a little soreness and gained a lot of pimples..she got very irritated because obviously, it was a lot to take on for a teenager like her..she had very rough acne.

Katie felt ugly because of the acne she had..she started hating her life and stopped going to school, she thought that everyone would not like her anymore and they will make fun of her looks..she thought that they will kick her out of the student council committee(silly child, I know)..she was in the ‘ just leave me alone, let me be in my room phase’..her parents could perfectly understand this situation because obviously, at one point of time they were teenagers too.

Katie’s father took the responsibility on himself to drag her out of this wrong perspective as he believed that he could explain things better to her..so he headed to Katie’s room with a bowl full of her favorite ice cream..so she opened the door and was a fluff ball..I sat down besides her and let her know that

  • Whatever she was facing was absolutely normal for a teenager.
  • Her dad told her that she was an absolutely stunning girl..with or without acne.
  • He promised her that no one will make fun of her, because she is much more than her looks.
  • It was her charming, fun and social personality that made everyone like her, not the way she looked.

She got a little relieved and cried in her dad’s arms..she clustered the courage to go to school and as she went there, she was surprised..everyone was normal, no one even noticed her acne or the redness or the pimples..everyone behaved the way they usually did, which gave Katie a LOT of CONFIDENCE..she felt a little better..but unfortunately, she still couldn’t get her mind off of the acne on her face..she still looked in the mirror and felt ugly(teenage brain)..she wanted to have her spotless beauty..moreover, she wanted to get rid of the pain that acne caused and she was unable to focus on ballet..she wanted to become a ballet dancer when she grows up.

She told her dad about this and he still reminded her that she should embrace how she looked like, she was beautiful the way she was.but Katie was a little adamant to find a solution to it because the acne was painful for her and she wanted it to fade away..to which her dad reluctantly but happily introduced her to best the ordinary products for acne..her father told her that he had a colleague who faced adult acne, he asked her about the products she used because she was bragging about it to another colleague and her dad had heard it and he had already purchased it two weeks ago.

But her father had one condition..he wanted her to see that scars, acne, pimples, hair loss, etc does not make a person who they are..these are just superficial things..it is our character, our personality that matters..she would be a ballerina just because of her undeniable talent, not on the basis of her looks..which she understood(with time) and kept applying the products and she felt a great difference.

My Experience With Funko Pops

Almost everybody in the world has a hobby. But, I didn’t have one until one day when I visited one of my friend’s house and saw something interesting in his room. As I entered his room, I noticed some toy figures over his cupboard. They seemed to be cute, so I enquired my friend and he told me that those were Funko Pops that he had collected. From that day, I decided to have my own collection of Funko Pops and gradually collecting funko pops became my hobby.

Now, what are Funko Pops? Funko Pops are vinyl figures resembling popular characters like the Avengers, Disney cartoons, PJ masks, Paw Patrol, etc. They can be of any shapes, but my favorite are the funko mystery minis. I have got the best funko mystery minis collection among all my friends. These toys are same as funko pops but they are smaller in size and therefore look more adorable. Most of my friends are amused by seeing my funko pops collection, and some are even jealous about the fact that I own the best funko mystery minis available in my locality.

I have collected around 2000 funko pops. Many of my friends ask me about where did I get so many of these funko pops, but I never told them. But today, I will reveal my secret. I have purchased them from the internet. Yes, there are many websites selling funko pops online. You just have to book one of those from the website and get it delivered to your home.

Now, you might wonder how to select the funko pops just by seeing the images. I suggest you read reviews about funko pops before buying them. There are websites that provide legitimate reviews on funko pops. These reviews can be helpful to you because these websites have experienced experts who use and check the funko pops properly before publishing a review on it.

As toys are all time favorite of little children, so whenever a kid enters my room, he seems to forget everything around and gets mesmerized seeing my collection of funko pops. Funko pops can be a very good toy for kids depending on their age. As funko pops consist of all kinds of action figures and doll figures, they can be used as toys by little boys as well as girls.

If anyone is searching to take up a hobby, I will suggest that collecting funko pops is one of the best option. As funko pops are small figurines, they can be stored very easily. Funko pops cover all sorts of virtual characters from Marvel Heroes to Doctor Suess and from My Hero Academia to Naruto Shippuden, so you can find a wide range of collectibles.

I hope you found this post interesting. If you have any queries or suggestions please drop your views in the comment section below. Also let me know if you want to find more information about funko pops.

Butching It Up with Captions!

My lovely friend Simran has been my constant since day one, she has been my friend since the time I cannot even remember, she is kind, sweet, humble and a little stubborn. She was always up the alley with her grades and her performance in school, she has always been one of the toppers of the class, her family , her friends were proud of her. Simran has always been the kind of child who listens to her parents first and her heart, later. When the time of selecting her future came, her parents wanted her to be a doctor, they wanted her to take admission in a medical school and luckily, she got through(getting admission in a medical college is exceptionally hard). Every one was overwhelmingly happy but I noticed something strange, Simran was not that happy, she was smiling and enjoying her farewell party but her smile did not have that spark that it usually did. I went ahead and asked her if she was happy, to which she said that she was okay and then asked me to look at her parents, who were full of joy, laughter and happiness. I did find Mr and Mrs Mehra really happy but Simran could not answer my question, if she was happy, she was never able to lie to me since I knew her too well.

Time flew by , Simran and I got busy in our respective colleges, she was living in Punjab and studying medical while I was pursuing my dream of becoming a dancer, along with my college.

So, jumping on next year’s Christmas eve, Simran was home and I thought of meeting her, so I called her outside and decide to talk over coffee. She was so happy to see me(we were meeting after two years), we had so much to tell each other(we talked less because both of us were busy). She told me that her campus was beautiful and she loved her medical school, she was also dating a boy in college and they were pretty serious about each other. She inquired about my life and my dream of becoming a dancer, so, I told that I was happy and she was very proud of me and considered me lucky. This time I could surely sense that something was wrong and now she could not hide it anymore, she told me that although she loves the college, loves her boyfriend and everything, she doesn’t want to be a doctor, she wants to be a professional photographer. I was stunned, I always thought that it was her dream to be a doctor, to which she said it was her parent’s dream. She asked me to not to disclose it to her parents and unfortunately, I had to agree,but I kept pestering her to at least talk to her parents.

I finally managed to convince her to talk to her parents and when she did, they were so cool about it! They agreed on one condition, that Simran would finish her college first and then she was free to pursue whatever she liked. Simran happily agreed and finally she purchased her first Nikon camera from her savings, she got the camera to learn the art of photography on her campus as it was very beautiful. As she progressed in her college and photography, people saw that she was a really talented photographer, she posted the pictures on Instagram to get a good audience for herself and the first picture she posted was of me, with an instagram caption for sister. I cried happy tears of joy because I knew my soul sister was happy and joyous now.

She is now a very famous photographer and her photos are put up in art galleries and get viral on social media quite soon

Karakachan- A mountain hound

” The capacity for love that makes dogs such rewarding companions has a flip side : They find it difficult to cope without us. Since we humans programmed this vulnerability, it’s our responsibility to ensure that our dogs do not suffer as a result ” – John Bradshaw. These four legged cuties need our constant love and care in order to live a happy and wholesome life and every breed has needs of their own. Every dog breed is different from each other, be it their favorable conditions, be it their diet, their size, their weight, their standard behavior , their instincts, their nature and so on. Everything varies from one breed to another.

One of the breed that is really popular among potential buyers is Karakachan. These large dogs were originally bred in Bulgaria as a mountain hound to protect livestock, cattle and other domestic animals. Karakachan is a largely built dog with a height of at least sixty centimetres, and the weight can range upto fifty five kilograms. They have long, dense, furry coats to keep themselves warm . They have white ,brown or black spots on their faces, coat or tails. If the dog is not purebred, then the color can be plain white, black or brown. They have little dark and intense eyes with a well shaped and broad nose. This furry playmate is an absolute cutie and owning one can bring lots of joy to a family. Following are the pros and cons of owning a karakachan :

Date Of Birth Certificate

Date of birth certificate is the most important document proof that every person should possess with themselves. It is the first official document that has been created in your name since you were born. Further, these documents are used as identity proof in making other important documents. The date of birth of a person has many uses like it is also used in examinations as questions. For example – what year was i born if im 21 in the year 2016 and what will be my day of birth? Such questions are also asked in various higher-level exams. 

Identification Papers

Why are childhood memories so pleasant?

One of the hardest things to acknowledge as we grow up is that we lose that sense of happiness we had as a child. While we still live a happy life and do things that bring joy to us and others, there is something about childhood days that can’t be compared to anything.

We are all clinged to the happy memories of our childhood. It is something that makes us happy in gloomy times. We start comparing our lives now with the ones we had in your childhood. There have been studies concerning the spectrum of happiness throughout a person’s life. In most of the studies, it has been found that a person remains the happiest in his childhood. The study has also shown the reasons for happiness.

In this post, we are going to cover some of the reasons in brief.

1. Ignorance of stress

As a child, we were not familiar with stress. We had fun with friends and family. We moved about carefree and there was hardly anything that bothered us or made us very upset. On the other hand, as an adult, we are constantly faced with stress. We bombard ourselves with unwanted news and keep our minds busy all the time. This makes past memories of childhood pleasant compared to the present reality.

2. Love for old things

There were days when I used to look for my old comic collection just so that I could take myself to the good old days. Like me, many people love old things. These are things that have some memories and stories associated with them. From old paraffin heaters to the rusted bicycle in the garage, I have a fascination for all kinds of old things. This is what makes childhood memories more pleasant. I even have a collection of old paraffin heaters to show off. 

3. Closeness to immediate family

As we grow up, we become distant from our immediate families somehow. This results in less moments of happiness. Being together with the family makes us more happy and prosperous in life. This is another important reason for finding childhood memories to be pleasant. In fact, it is one of the lessons for life that we need to take note of. We have to connect with our immediate family and try to spend more time with them. This is one of the best things you can do for your happiness.

4. Finding happiness in little things

As grown-ups, we need big reasons to be happy. But, as children, we were happy with all the little things in life. We would spend our time playing with our favorite toys and forget about everything else. There was very less multi-tasking. We were more present in the now. This is what made our childhood more pleasant.

So, those were some of the things that made childhood memories more pleasant. Hope you found this helpful. Leave your thoughts in the comments.
