Had been sick for quite a long time, about 2-3 months of feeling weak now. Probably caused by lack of rest, also my low BP had always made me lethargic..
I skipped a lot of workout as all I wanted was to lie down and sleep. Went to doctors and they have no idea what was causing this tiredness :S
Needless to say, I have also been abandoning my skincare routine. The most diligent of me was to wash my face at the end of each day. On most days, I skip serums and cream... and; sunscreen too (!!!!) I know, *screams*
Its amazing that after months of abandonment, my skin did not turn 30 years older. Signs of tiredness yes, but everything else remains pretty much the same. Most probably due to healthy food intake..
Anyway, during my down times, I have been reading up alot on articles related to health. I find below quite interesting, and do-able. For me; at a slow pace.
Sharing this out and also for my own reference :)
