My Honest Aveeno Calm + Restore Moisturiser Review

I really love Aveeno as a brand and their sensitive skin lotion worked so good for my acne-prone skin. Recently, I spotted a new range from Aveeno called Calm and Restore which is targeted for sensitive skin and I decided to give this range a try. I bought their oat facewash and this moisturizer with SPF 30.

Things I’ve Quietly Let Go Of This Year For a Calmer Life

Saying “I” let go would be slightly inaccurate because honestly, situations unfolded in my life where a lot of my beliefs and everything was just wiped away. Like, my life took it upon itself to do the “let go” thing on a serious level.

Not everybody wants to live a hustle life, and I am sure there are a lot of us who feel the same way. There’s this assumption that everyone is building toward something bigger, that more is always the direction, and a lot of us have just absorbed it without questioning it. Felt behind in a race we never signed up for, carrying this low hum of not-enough that sits underneath even the good days.

For me, it’s living a no-rush life. Like, I have seen people around me and even myself rushing into things. Be it picking up groceries or anything and then I used to wonder, where do I need to head to with this rush? Like what I am even rushing for?
