This is how I am cleaning my makeup brushes.

I prepared a container I used an empty water bottle and cut it in half. I poured a small amount of dishwashing liquid. 

I soaked it for about 10 minutes and rinse it in hot water while swirling it in a soap pad as my washboard. Using the washboard will rinse the brushed thoroughly and will remove the excess of build makeup. 

I squeezed it using a towel napkin to remove excess water. I dry it using a towel. I folded 1 side about 3 to 4 times to elevate it. In this way, the water will run down the towel and will not go to the handle. If the water goes to the handle it will ruin the brushes so I make sure it is elevated. 

I let it dry at room temperature and wait until it is dry. I washed my brushes at least 2 times a week depends on how many times I am doing my makeup. 

How do you clean your makeup brushes? Comment down below and I will try to follow it! 

Social media plays a big part in everyone and a powerful tool in work or business but recently, when it becomes too much for me that affected my mental state or becomes toxic. The people will pay attention to what we post and judge us base on that or too much noisy telling you what to do or not what do to. What having a break taught me?

Guarding my heart, spirituality and mental state. Because our heart is treacherous, it could damage someone’s reputation or cause us trouble and anxiety. Using it without caring and thinking is a pitfall. 

Posting is not a reflection of who I am behind the screen. It doesn’t mean I do nothing except what I posted. My posts don’t reflect my entire personality. I just share something that makes me happy or for a project or something light. It took me a week to meditate if I am going to delete all my social media or just limiting myself from any social media. I used Instagram often than other platforms because it is less noise. 

Decided not to post or document everything happened that day, I give a break and post it later. I don’t want to feel that when I am in social media I am competing or sounds like I am bragging or portraying a certain personality that I am not. It is not mandatory to post everything and documenting every part of my day.

Sharing a positive spirit. Because social media is powerful it can drive you crazy and contaminated with negativity. Like the bashers. Having a healthy balance of mindset and relationship with you follow or subscribe is a good way to balance everything. If you think it is not helping you then cut off, unfollow or blocked. Be a source of encouragement and a good cheer team player. Be generous of the compliments. Nowadays people are so generous of complaining than encouraging. That's the sad part. 

We don’t know someone’s struggle behind those posts so we should be careful about our comments. If you think they need cheer to be a good cheerer. Think before you click. 

These posts don't mean anything but want to share what social media did to me and what I learned that may help others too. Let's not let social media eats our personality and the reality and happiness outside the screen.
