 In 2017 when I was in between jobs I had a few months of break which is when I first came across Asian dramas online and I was hooked. I started binge-watching them like there was no tomorrow. I got so addicted that I couldn't stop and I ended up watching about 50 dramas in a few months. Even after I got back to work I continued watching as many dramas as I could whenever I had time. While scrounging through the internet for good dramas I also came across a lot of not-so-good ones that I either had to drop after a few episodes or halfway through because they were just not doing it for me. Now that I have watched more than  100 dramas I know that there are as many bad ones as there are good ones. A TV drama is something that needs to make you feel and bring out your emotions.

Olive Oil After coming to the West I got introduced to olive oil. Initially, I only used it for cooking but I never knew that it can be used for skin and hair un...

 So you really liked how a beauty/skincare influencer explained and raved about a skincare product and went ahead and ordered it. But after you used it, it either did not work for you or worse, it irritated your skin. Don't worry, you are not alone as this happens often to many people. Skincare is not foolproof. There's no one perfect magical skin care product that will always work for everyone no matter what. I think sometimes we expect too much when it comes to skincare but there are a lot of factors that actually affect a skincare product from delivering its best and that is why skin care is so different for everyone. What works for one might not work for another and there are a few reasons why that is so. Age : Collagen production, skin regeneration, and repairing capabilities are reduced with age so as we age we need something that can help regenerate our skin, and improve collagen production so that our skin can repair itself. This is the reason why a regular moisturizer ...
