Protect your heart

 

 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
                                    Proverbs 4:23

This verse is very special to my heart. There is a deep sense of knowing that comes with it. When you know what you have given your heart to and who has hurt you. In love and in life I used to give my heart out so easily. I think it is a natural human thing, especially when you are young and your trust is bigger than the ocean. 

Until i wanted to understand this verse a little more, so I dug deeper. I dug deeper into my thoughts and wondered what are the real treasures of life. These treasures i thought of are love, hope faith, trust, joy and all of these amazing intangible feelings and where do all of these come from? They come from the heart. When we do things we do it with our hearts no matter what our intention is we have to put our hearts into it. 

These treasures don't compare to worldly treasures like tangible, material things that we buy like cars or handbags. These treasures are much greater.

No wonder we have to guard our hearts. The bible says 'For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.' (Matthew 6:21)
To guard our hearts is to guard our most valuable treasure. Imagine life without joy or love. It would be so dull and boring.

The bible also speaks of what remains: 'And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love' (Corinthians 13:13) This teaches us what is most important and what is "left" after everything else 'tangible' fades away. 

I hope this verse resonates in your heart the way it does mine.

Enzymatic vs. Granular Exfoliation

What is the difference? Don't they both do the same job? Is Enzymatic even effective?  Enzymatic exfoliators and Granular exfoliators are both know for the same job: to get rid of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. But, what is the difference and which one is most suitable for my skin? Enzymatic exfoliators are exfoliators without the abrasive kernels in it that brush down on the dead cells on your skin. Except these exfoliators contain enzymes which break down bonds between the dead cells on the surface of the skin which removes dead skins cells faster. Enzymes include bromelain from the pineapple and papain from a papaya. You can use this exfoliator if your skin is more sensitive and you want something less harsh compared to a peel or even a granular exfoliator. One can also use this exfoliator if you experience breakout which is perfect and won't aggravate the skin. Now what is a granular exfoliator? Granular exfoliators are mechanical exfoliators that buff the skin
