It's been six days since I posted here.

"Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day."

Dalai Lama

I checked my blog here and I saw that it's been six days since I posted last and I feel bad about it. I have indeed been away for a while but yesterday, I decided to return and keep my blog busy again. The truth is that I have been so busy with the Dreemport challenge that I didn't give time here just because I want to keep topping the engagement leaderboard on Hive.

It was on Friday which was last week that I broke down with illness and when I found out what happened, it was that I have strained myself to the extreme and my body couldn't take it anymore. I had to stop and focus on my health while I take it slowly and hope for the best at the end of the four weeks challenge. It's all about who will be the dreemer of the year and this would be judged by the number of points you were able to gather.

I think the one with the highest points takes the crown, alongside huge prizes to take home. If you had to see the rewards for the one who becomes the dreemer of the year, you wouldn't want to miss it but keep doing your best. But as it is now, I want to take it slowly because it's affecting my health. What is the use of working hard when you had to spend all the money buying drugs to care for yourself?

I had to stay away from blogging activities from Friday evening to Sunday evening. I just needed the rest. Besides, I have been tidying up my room and getting prepared to travel for the burial at home. This morning, I had to wake up early, washed my clothes and plan to go to the market later today to get some things my sister requested I get for her.

Seriously, it's not easy having responsibilities to cater for in the family and you will still have to take care of yourself but in all, I give glory to God because He has been faithful and helping me with the burdens. I never signed up for this at all but do I have a choice? I can't shy away from those responsibilities if I need to be responsible myself.

Last week, I was having an unusual spot on my face that made it look so rough and bad. Ever since I was born, I never had pimples or any spots because my face is always smooth. Some people including my sister envy me because according to them, they wish they had a smooth face without pimples. In fact, I eat a lot of Groundnut and Oil as these things are what trigger pimples on the face but mine is exceptional. No matter the amount of Groundnut I take, I am always free from pimples or rashes.

Some months ago, I decided to find a face cream to maintain my skin and colour. I was recommended this cream to use and they said it matches my colour and isn't bleaching.

I started using the cream called Olivera and I was loving the result on my face. Everyone started noticing and complimenting my fair face which made me keep smiling and happy that I finally found a cream that works for me. Not until some days ago, I started seeing eczema and rashes on my face, it was so rough and when I touch my face, it feels as if there are tiny woods on my face that was hurting my hands.

I couldn't take it anymore and I stopped the cream. I knew then that my face was now reacting to the cream. A friend who cared gave me this Nixoderm cream to apply at night after washing my face with warm water. I kept praying to have my smooth face back because it was my pride.

The first night I used it, which was on Friday night, it worked as the spots were varnishing bit by bit. I applied it the second night and on Sunday night, I did too and when I washed my face this morning, those spots are gone. I am so happy right now because I gained my beautiful face back.

I will have to get this Nixoderm to keep for my use in case something like this happen in the future.

As I was thinking about my blog here, I decided not to miss a day posting again till the end of the year and I won't force or push myself again. I will allow nature to have its way with me while I believe that God will definitely keep helping me too.

I hope everyone is doing fine. Sincerely, I missed you and I am sorry for not visiting your articles. I will try my best today.

Thanks for your time.
