Do you laugh in the face of stress and anxiety, grief, disasters, hopeless situations, or life struggles? Me either! 😞 Do you want to? Me too! 🙂
That’s why Carolanne Miljavac wrote this book, She Laughs: Choosing Faith Over Faith. Carolanne describes herself as a “southern-raised, Jesus-saved, barely sane author, speaker, and social media goofball.” That alone made me really eager to read this book!
With so much devastation going on in 2020 alone, it’s really hard to see the positive side of things. Personally, I’ve dealt with a lot of grief last year and this year. As a matter of fact, I just lost my pet rabbit to cancer; he was just 4-years-old. My pets and I all have/had a very special bond, so it’s like losing a family member when they go. That plus the stress and anxiety that this whole pandemic has brought makes it really had to be joyful or optimistic about life.

"Though her life has been dotted with disaster, it’s through laughter that social media star and author Carolanne Miljavac found the strength and courage to persevere…joy for the journey. And she’ll help you discover all the ways laughter can carry you through your very own painful situations."One of my favorite reviews about this book that I read says, “The Bible says a joyful heart and laughter are good medicine, and She Laughs is definitely ibuprofen for the soul. It’s inspirational, biblically sound, and downright funny.” That sounds about right!

Starting Over and Rebuilding Your Tumblr Empire Source: Unsplash You know that feeling when you've put in countless hours and invested so much of yourself into something, then — poof — it's gone? That's what happened to me yesterday: my beloved Tumblr account was terminated, without reason, I might add! This is where I was previously hosting this blog. Gone were the almost 1500 posts and memories I'd accumulated over the years (since 2008). To add insult to injury, all my social media posts now feature broken links. Yes, it was indeed a sad evening. However, as a true warrior in the lifestyle blogging world, I am determined to rise from the ashes and rebuild A Little Bit Of Me by any means necessary. But how you ask? Well, strap in, because I'm about to take you on the journey of making your own terminated blog comeback.
Clear Skin Starts from Within: Foods and Lifestyle Tips for Hormonal Acne
Hormonal acne is a form of acne caused by fluctuations in hormones, especially androgens like testosterone. It often appears around puberty when hormone levels are in flux, as well as in adulthood. Women are more prone to hormonal acne outbreaks due to monthly hormonal changes related to the menstrual cycle. Source: Pixabay The main hormonal causes of acne include increased production of sebum (oil), a binding of testosterone to skin receptors, increased inflammation, and imbalances between estrogen and progesterone. Testosterone stimulates the production of sebum, which can clog pores and allow acne-causing bacteria to accumulate. Hormonal acne tends to occur in characteristic locations like the lower face along the jawline, chin, and neck area. It also frequently appears along the cheeks and side of the face in women. Lesions are usually tender, inflamed, and deeper cysts rather than surface whiteheads or blackheads. Outbreaks typically occur monthly but can also be chronic for some.
How to Properly Apply Face Serum for Maximum Benefits
Face serums have become a popular skincare product in recent years, promising numerous benefits like reducing fine lines, evening out skin tone, and boosting hydration. With all the hype around serums, it's easy to get carried away and use too much. But applying face serum correctly is vital to getting the most out of it (plus, you'll save money since you won't use up the bottle as quickly). Source: Pexels Here's a simple guide on how much serum to use and how to apply it properly: Why Dropping Serum Directly on Your Face Isn't Ideal It's tempting to use the dropper that comes with most serums and dot the product directly onto your face. As a matter of fact, almost every YouTuber I watch loves to do it this way (and I cringe each time I see it). However, this isn't the best application method for a few reasons: Wastes product: Dropping serum directly from the bottle means you often use more than necessary. Most serums are concentrated, so a little goes a l
