Get Rid of Nausea Within Seconds

Today I felt incredible nauseous, probably because of the terrible changes of the temperature. However, I found a simple and easy way to get rid of nausea without any medicine within a few seconds. If you want to know what I have been using then keep on reading.

I made myself a ginger tea!

Ginger is known as a spice in the kitchen, however it is definitely underrated in its health benefits.

These benefits of the ginger root are:

anti-inflammatory, carminative, anti-flatulent, and anti-microbial properties

essential oils such as gingerol, zingerone, shogaol, farnesene and small amounts of β-phelladrene, cineol, and citral. Gingerols improve the intestinal motility and has anti-inflammatory, painkiller (analgesic), nerve soothing, anti-pyretic as well as anti-bacterial properties. Studies have shown that it may reduce nausea induced by motion sickness or pregnancy and may help relieve migraine headaches.

Zingerone, which gives pungent character to the ginger root, has been found to be effective against E.coli induced diarrhea, especially in children.

low in calories and contains no cholesterol, but is very rich source of many essential nutrients and essential vitamins such as pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), pantothenic acid (vit.B-5).

minerals like potassium, manganese, copper, and magnesium. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure.

So I found a piece of ginger in my fridge, chopped it in small slices, put it in a cup and brew it with hot water. You can drink right now or brew this tea for 10 minutes for better benefits.

10 minutes after drinking the tea I noticed that my nausea was suddenly gone and I didn't feel nauseous for the whole day. I was so surprised about the effect because I haven't expected this at all. Thus, I can totally recommend drinking a ginger tea when you're feeling nauseous.

Please let me know whether this helped you too or whether you have other methods to get rid of nausea?

Wish you a wonderful day!

Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Shine Control Moisturizer

After a long long time I finally did a review again. I wanted to do a review of this Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Shine Control Moisturizer since summer, but never found the time and passion to fulfil it. So here we go.

Price: can't remember between 7-9€

Content: 40ml

Durability: 12 months

Garnier promises: 

"Even oily skin that’s prone to problems needs to be kept hydrated. Garnier developed a unique formula using carefully selected natural ingredients: white clay and zinc to matify skin, and salicylic acid for purifying power. The result is an ultra-efficient matte-finish moisturizer that leaves skin looking healthy and clean."

Smell, Consistency & Colour

 

The consistency is like a normal moisturizer. The moisturizer is water based so it is a really light cream and thus, perfect for combination to oily skin. The cream is white and the cream has not a strong specific smell. It smells a tiny bit "green" which has probably something to do with Pure Naturals line by Garnier.

Application

Direct application

1 minute later

I have got quiet oily skin especially during the summer and I literally just needed a fingertip of product. I will probably need more in the winter, nevertheless I am really impressed of the mattifying effect of this cream. Seriously, one minute after the application your whole skin is matt without feeling dry or not moisturized at all. 

Conclusion

This moisturizer is amazing. I think it is created as a morning moisturizer because if the mattifying effect, however, I actually use it as a night moisturizer. I think with oily skin you don't need a lot of moisturizer even in the night and a too thick moisturizer can cause pimples. The cream doesn't has a miracle effect on my blemishes, however, it does prevent from producing more of these. Thus, I can totally recommend this if you are searching for a great moisturizer for combination to oily skin.

Comment below whether you have any experience with this Garnier line?

Wish you a wonderful day!

My Fitness Inspiration + Fitness Update

 As you might can tell, recently I am on a fitness and health kick. However, I concentrated myself on sport and also had my fitness plan where I really sticked to, but I didn't see a massive difference. I could feel the muscles and see a few of them, but there weren't that visible because of the fat on top of my muscles.

No amount of sport can show you the result which a good diet does. The diet influences the weight loss about 70% whereas sport supports this only about 30%. I don't intend to lose weight primarily, but I want to get a more defined body where I can see my muscles and look more toned. The key of a healthy diet is clean eating. I will talk about clean eating in detail in another post. I follow this eating method with passion and totally love it. I feel energized and vitalized without being stuffed.

My inspiration and motivation for my new step to my "dream body" is the Bodyrock-Team. Bodyrock is a online website which post mainly free workout videos, sometimes also diet tips or hauls. However, my full diet inspirations are Lisa-Marie and recently Haley. These two woman do the workouts in front of the camera and post a lot of pictures on Facebook. Especially, Lisa-Marie posts great motivational pictures as you can see a few of them here even though she is even an inspiration. 

 How do you get your fitness inspiration and motivation?

Wish you a wonderful day!

Red Blazer with Jeans - Outift!

What I hate about street fashion during fall/winter time is that people stop wearing colourful clothes. However, I think that it is totally okay to wear colourful clothes during the whole year and when you want to wear a neon-green top with a pink skirt in the winter then do it! Today I added a bright red blazer to my outfit. Of course, you have to be a bit self-confident to wear this blazer, but is definitely an eye-catcher.

Blazer: Montego. Top: NewYorker. Jeans: Sublevel. Ballerina: YKX&Co.

This was my outfit for today. I am always suprised how easy it is too make a look to something special and chic by adding a blazer. The rest of my outfit is kept in neutral black or in "laid-back" navy blue colours so that I don't look like a parrot. I also wore pretty simple jewelry, my silver clock and some simple silver studs with a clear (diamond) glass.

I hope you liked this outfit & tell me what do you think about bright colours in the fall/winter time?

Wish you a wonderful day!
