Interview with Fashion Instagram Influencer Samya Mohamed

Hi There..... Can I make you happy today with a new Instagram Influencer interview? Yes? No?

If you are into women’s fashion, I am sure you will love it.

I only interview Instagram Influencers that are active in fashion. That being said, I would love to find a few more, because I am almost out. 😨

It’s not like I can go buy them at the supermarket. I wonder which rack of Influencers I would be on? Fun, somewhat crazy, wrinkled, or even kind, maybe? As long as it’s not the bottom rack, those are usually the things that are the least popular. 😉

Maybe I don’t have them lined up because I have made it a rule that they would have to have a minimum of 15.000 followers. Then again, why would I interview them if they were not special? Nothing interesting about an influencer with less. Ooh, that would mean I am not interesting either. Hm, Am I???? 😲

Maybe someday, if I ever make it to 15.000 followers, I might answer my own questions. Oh my, what on earth would I say? Ah, no need to worry. I may never make it that far. I could fall down the stairs this weekend and break my fingers, you never know. However, worrying may be better than having an accident? 😧

I remember my fall down the stairs a few months ago vividly. Not that I broke anything, except my nail, but it wasn’t the most enjoyable thing to do. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Not the most fun pass time. 😏

So who is going to be that special woman on my blog post for today? Let me introduce you to Samya Mohamed. She has an amazing 110.000 followers on Instagram. Let's see what her answers to my questions are. 😊


Do you have a day job? Full-time or Part-time?

Full- time Influencer And Amazon Vine Reviewer

How many hours do you spend on Instagram on average?

5-6 hours a day on average not including content creation

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Fashion is very important to me. As a creator my entire life is based on how I feel, I do my best to create an overall fashionable environment for myself to improve my mood and creativity. 
To me, fashion isn’t just an article of clothing but more of a lifestyle experience, a feeling, a vision that only you can articulate and bring to life. It plays a big part in the Brands I collaborate with and the quality of styles and products I share with my followers. 

Fashion brings life to the content ideas I create for the brands, but more importantly, a fashionable lifestyle makes me feel powerful. 

What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

Here are two of my most recent achievements, which brought me to where I am today. The first big campaign I did was for Maybelline. It totally changed my business goals. 
I applied to the campaign thinking I wouldn’t get accepted because of my followers being low. They approved me for the campaign with a note to replicate some content I had previously created for another brand. 
That’s when I realized I was struggling with being a part-time influencer because I focused on all the wrong things. Being an influencer wasn’t about the followers or likes, which I had spent so much time on, and got me nowhere. 
The Brands wanted creative content, content that followers would engage with. This gave me an upper hand to focus more on my content and engagement with my followers. 
The second was an Event called BeautyCon. They invited me as a 'Guest Influencer'. It was and still feels surreal, one of the greatest moments I’ve had. I had been an influencer for less than a year then. I did not know what I was getting into. On that day I met so many incredible brands and even made some collaborations. It led me to quit my Day job and pursue influencing full time. 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

No. As we all love the luxury of designer brands, I prefer creating looks using all or any brand I can find. What’s a vision for creation if you're limited to specific brands, right? 
The past year as an Amazon Influencer and Vine Reviewer has changed my entire perspective on fashion. 
I get the chance to try out and review so many small brands with such beautiful quality designs, then I share them in my shop for my followers that want to recreate my looks. Creating a shop that caters to my community's budget and style needs is priceless. I do have luxury items in my Amazon Shop for those who can afford the more pricy accessories.



Describe your personal style of clothing?

It’s definitely a mix between Tomboy, Chic & Artsy 

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

My main style has always been Sophisticated, over time I incorporated comfort, sporty and chic. Nowadays, you can always find me in a Crop Top, High Waisted Trousers, Sneakers, and a hat. 

Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style?

Surprisingly, I never would’ve thought so. However, I now have followers who purchase my styles through my Amazon shop or any Fashion collaboration Links I share. It feels fantastic to see others enjoy styles I’ve selected and reviewed. 

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

I don’t follow Trends. I enjoy creating my own trends, all based on my expression. I’m the type of person who will go out in all white all year long. I will say, high-waisted jeans & trousers are always a popular trend in my eyes.

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

I’m not a big fan of wide-leg pants, I feel it’s not a versatile trend for everyone. It’s a look that only a specific body can rock. 



What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Organizing is key, knowing where all your things are, can make or break a look. Don’t look up trends or styles and try to compete with the market. By the time you reach a trend, it's moved on to another right in front of your eyes. You’ll only be compared rather than praised. 
Often I start with one item I want to wear then layer it with pieces until I get the look I want. Expand your creativity, you’d be surprised what’s in your wardrobe. 

Who is your style icon and why?

Karl Lagerfeld. Karl was and still is a Legend in my book. The depth of his creativity and fearless styles have always inspired me to do better.



She has quite an amazing story to tell, don't you agree? Thank you, Samya, for taking the time to answer my questions. 😍

Review about the Jouwbox - Chocolate Bars - Natural Products by Ekoplaza

Hi There..... Are you ready for some more natural products? Maybe you would like to know a bit more about the chocolate bars from my Jouwbox?

Would you? Great, then you are in for a treat. 😃

Ah candy, it almost seems as if they are forbidden somehow lately. If you have kids, you had better not put any chocolate bars or sweet treats in their backpack. Beware of the bad bad candy. Never mind the wolf. 😏

It was so much fun distributing treats for my birthday at school when I was a young girl. I would always do this on the last day of school because my birthday was in July. It didn’t matter what you brought to school, everything was fine. Nowadays, giving candy or sweet drinks is out of the question. 😬

We didn’t get that much candy at home, though. I recall that now and then we would go to a small shop with our mom. We could choose a few pieces of candy for 1 BEF. That could be a few lollypops, some gummy bears, whatever we wanted as long as it was within the budget. I am not sure if it was a trick mom used to get us to go with her, but we didn’t really mind falling into her evil trap. 😁

Can you imagine getting candy for just one BEF? That would be about 0.025 euro or 0.029 dollars. If you would go to the candy store today, I bet you wouldn’t get anything for that amount. So hard to believe sometimes how much prices have gone up. That’s what you get when you are half an age, ah yes, and some free wrinkles as a (ripe) cherry on top. 😂

Well, if you have a sweet tooth, and looking for some guilt Free Indulgence, I may have the answer for you. There were 3 chocolate bars in my JouwBox, and they are on the menu today. 😋

1. LOVECHOCK - SALTED PECAN 80%



So what does their website say about this candy bar? Dark, vegan raw chocolate with crunchy pecans and a kick of sea salt. Also contains Maca, an Andean carrot with many benefits, and a pleasant nutty flavor to complement the pecans perfectly. 

Thanks to the super fruit raw cocoa, this dark chocolate bar is a natural source of magnesium and rich in iron. Lovechock is 100% organic, vegan, plastic-free packaged, and made with the best raw cocoa according to our Direct Trade principle. Pure goodness that nourishes body, mind, and planet.


I am not that fond of chocolate anymore since my Gastric Bypass, but I liked this one. Probably because of the hint of salt and nuts, and it wasn't bitter at all. I ate a cube of this chocolate bar and then ate a Rafaello and how those flavors mixed in my mouth, just delicious. 😋

2. INNERME - PROTEIN BAR CHOCOLATE



So what does their website say about this protein bar? This tasty snack with a smooth texture is perfect for those who crave a chocolate bar and still want to keep it healthy. This bar helps you to get your daily amount of protein (between 1.2 and 2 grams per kilogram of body weight).

The protein bar promotes muscle building, is rich in fiber, and supplies your body with all essential amino acids. As you are used to from us, this top product is also completely vegan, organic, and contains no refined sugars. Enjoy it fully, without feeling guilty!


I thought if I can taste the Lovechock bar, why not taste this one also? The worst thing that could happen is an unpleasant taste in my mouth. Luckily it was not too bitter, because I dislike anything bitter. It reminded me a bit of French nougat, nice and chewy. Somewhat dry maybe, but truly a great guilt-free pleasure. 😄

3. CHOCOLAT STELLA - PURE CHOCOLATE 80%


So what does their website say about this dark chocolate bar? At Chocolat Stella, they care about cocoa. Within every step of the production process, they think carefully about the choices they make, and how they can achieve the best result. 

They don't just care about cocoa, but people as well. All Chocolat Stella bars are Fair Trade, guaranteeing a fair wage for the cocoa farmers involved.


This chocolate is really quite bitter. Not for the faint-hearted. You really have to be a fan of very dark chocolate if you want to eat this one. It is the perfect chocolate, however, for desserts or a delicious cup of hot chocolate milk. 😉

And they lived happily ever after eating guilt-free chocolate. Haha, Isn't that a great fairy tale ending? 😍

Curiosity killed the cat, but since you are no cats, I can suggest you read my previous blog posts on this same JouwBox:

Interview with Fashion Designer Mercedes Gonzalez

Hi There..... Don’t you think it’s a long time overdue I published another Fashion Designer interview? How about I give you some inside knowledge of the Fashion industry today?

Yes? I couldn’t agree with you more. No? Too bad, because there's a Fashion Designer Interview on the menu today. 😜

I know I am a mean girl. Self-knowledge is the key to wisdom, and since I have known this for a while, you can imagine how wise I have become. 😁

Sometimes, though, I feel as if I am the most stupid person on this planet. Maybe I am, and I only assume to be wise. Who will tell? You perhaps? 😨

I can be a real absent-minded professor sometimes. Thinking I am going to do something and then I get up, my brain goes blank, and I don’t remember what it was I was planning to do. Or asking my husband if he needs something from the supermarket. Then I get there and take home all kinds of things I don’t need, but forget the one thing I required. 😄

I used to have the same problem with cleaning. Before we moved here 4 years ago, we had a house with our living room, kitchen downstairs. On the first floor, 2 bedrooms, and one more bedroom on the second floor. 😊

I remember starting in the kitchen, for instance, then thinking this belongs in the bedroom. As I went to the bedroom, there would always be something that needed my attention. I would end up cleaning things all around the house but never got an entire room done. 😳

There must be more people like me. I can’t believe, or better, refuse to believe I am the only absent-minded professor. 😏

I wonder if Mercedes Gonzalez is like me? Probably not because she is the 52-year-old Director and Fashion Designer for Proof of Concept. 😊

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I work as a fashion industry strategist and I own a boutique and brand. 

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

LOL, it’s how I make a living. 

What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

I have been in the business for about 30 years. My retail store and brand have both been profitable since they started. I have been successful because I don’t listen to business advice. 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

I love everything Prada even named 2 of my dogs after the brand. 

Describe your personal style of clothing? 

It all depends on my mood. It doesn’t fit one style. 


How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

On the bargain rack. 

Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style?

I influence over 100 million dollars in OTB (the budgets retailers have).

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

You can look at my social media @mercedesgpc I just posted something today. 

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

Dressing down for work. 

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

I only give advice on how to make money on fashion, not on what to wear. Ugly sells. 😊 #notjoking 

Who is your style icon and why?

Diana Vreeland, she wasn’t a pretty girl but had personal style. 

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

I also am an author of a fashion book called Chronicles of a fashion buyer.  

You should really check out her Instagram shop. She has a lot of cool Tees and very cute shirts. Thank you, Mercedes for taking the time to answer my questions. 😍


Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Jouwbox - Special Ekoplaza Edition - Natural Products - Drinks

Hi There..... Do you like to take care of yourself? Do you like natural products? Are you a drinker, perhaps? 

Haha, just joking, the question is, are you a coffee or tea drinker? Today all revolves around natural products for drinking. Isn’t it the most enjoyable way to take care of yourself? Sipping a nice cool or hot drink can make you feel completely relaxed, right? 😎

Ah, I am such a picky person regarding drinks. The only things I drink a lot are plain water, green tea, and fruit tea. Once a day I also drink half of a small bottle of fruit juice. I am not at all fan of coffee, and not from alcoholic beverages either. Hard to believe, right? 😏

My dad didn’t quite understand that. When we became teenagers, he wanted his 3 daughters to learn to drink beer for starters. I think it was a Stella we first tasted. Yuck, nope, way too bitter, so not my cup of tea. 😵

My sisters liked it, so why not me? What was wrong with me? Perhaps it was just the question of finding the right drink for me. He would always be in a good mood when he found something new that he thought I would like. I tasted all kinds of white wine, red, rose. 😝

He would say, perhaps you should taste this red wine then, you will like it, I am sure. He would always smile, happy he had found the right drink this time. Nothing was further from the truth. 😩

Ah, he said, I know, maybe you are more a fan of stronger drinks like whisky or cognac. Oh my, I remember the taste of cognac in my mouth as if it was yesterday. I couldn’t help spitting it out as soon as I tasted it. So disgusting, yuck. Crazy, I know, that's just me, a crazy old spitting woman. 😁

After a few years of having tasted almost anything from alcoholic beverages out there, he gave up. For the longest time, I thought I was the only person in the world that doesn't like alcohol. Maybe there really was something wrong with me. 😱

What time is it? Ah yes, time to talk a bit more about those natural products from my JouwBox. Some drinks in particular.

1. CLEO’S - BLOSSOM LOVE THEE


So what does their website say about this tea? Blossom Love is a delicious green tea with jasmine and elderflower. The lavender and elderflower complete the bouquet so that you can enjoy this soft, floral tea intensely. The ingredients are 100% organic and you can drink this tea any time of the day to relax.
Honest tea selected with care and produced sustainably. At Cleos, we know where, how and by whom our tea is made. In this way, we not only guarantee tea of the highest quality, but we also contribute to a better world. Reasonable prices, equal opportunities for men and women, and a sustainable and organic production process, that's our aim.



I am a sucker for a good cause and that's why I am going to say that I love this tea. Haha, no, no worries, I am really giving my honest opinion, I truly am a huge fan of this tea. 😍

Normally I drink my green tea with a half spoon of honey and some lemon juice. This tea was excellent already, and with my honey and lemon, it was just perfect for me. One of the best green teas I have ever tried. I swear that it's the truth, nothing but the whole truth. 😋

2. DR. MARTINS - IJSKOFFIE COCONUT CAPPUCINO


So what does their website say about this coffee drink? Do you like aromatic coffee? With a lot of milk? Does it have to be 100% vegan? With a hint of coconut? Do you like innovative packaging made from responsibly produced raw materials?

Here comes your special cappuccino: With fine coconut milk and strong coffee. From Arabica beans. 100% organic from carefully selected plantations. Guaranteed without genetic engineering. All that's left now is ... Shake well and enjoy - at home or on the go!


I already told you I don't like coffee, so I gave this one to my husband. Sorry to say, he didn't like it. You could taste coffee in it, but it was quite bland, he said. Could be a question of taste, of course, because he likes his coffee pretty strong. 😞

3. FRANKLY JUICE - ORGANIC GINGER SHOT


What does their website say about this ginger shot? A refreshing and medium-strength, high-quality ginger shot that improves and strengthens your immune system. It is packed with vitamins and antioxidants and it will give you an instant boost! 100% organic and cold-pressed, no additives, just a natural good taste.

Contains only natural sugar from the cold-pressed ingredients.
Anti-inflammatory, immune-enhancing, and rich in antioxidants and vitamins.
We work with organic farmers who supply us with their 2nd sort of fruit and vegetables for the production of our delicious Frankly ginger shots.


I was afraid to taste this ginger shot because I suspected it would be way too spicy and wouldn't taste very nice. When I tried it, I can't say the flavor was great, but it wasn't bad at all. Even more so, I can easily imagine that lots of people will like it. It tasted somewhat like a slightly sour apple juice, but a little spicier. The taste lingered on my tongue for a few hours, though. 😅

That's it for today, my lovely readers. If you are curious about my first review of this new JouwBox, check out this blog post https://seadbeady.blogspot.com/2021/03/review-about-jouwbox-special-edition.html

Where To Find Some Cool Gifts For Women - Beauty Gift Guide with 19 items

Hi There..... Would you like me to share some cool gifts for women again? How would you feel about a beauty gift guide?

Don’t tell me it doesn’t make you happy. Be Brave. Stay here. Take it like a man. 😁

As I told you a few blogs ago, I was contemplating sharing a gift guide more frequently. Another thought was I would limit it to just cool gifts for women because 80% of my readers are women. Last time I created a Fashion gift guide, so the plan is to make one on Fashion one month and another on Beauty the next. 😊

Beauty brings up a lot of mixed emotions for me. For a long time, I couldn’t bear the look of myself in the mirror. The last few years when I started having a lot of mobility problems, the only way the scales pointed was up. 😒

Every diet I started ended up in disaster after a while. My head just wasn’t in the right space to start another diet. Not being able to do what others of the same age could do, made me quite depressed. This resulted in a whopping 108 kilo on the scales. 😱

3 years ago I decided on a Gastric Bypass, and I haven’t regretted it for one moment. I only regret not having it done sooner. I can look at myself in the mirror again and feel so much better, except for a few wrinkles here and there. 😏

Spoken of mirrors, let's get this show on the road. Here are those cool gifts for women I promised you.

Headzone Lighted Make-up Mirror



This Make-up Mirror was created by optical experts to bring the latest lighting technology and product design into your beauty routine.
11 highly accurate color settings provide light as close to natural sunlight as possible. From soft and warm to bright and vibrant, you’ll be able to see your true colors for flawless touch-ups.
Soft, diffused light from our LED panel eliminates the harsh glare and shadows you typically get from embedded LEDs and light strips found on many ring lights and mirrors. 
This allows for a brighter light that doesn’t blind you while in use.
Most importantly, the light is built above the mirror, not into it, allowing you to position it independently in a way that mimics the direction of light in the real world.
A brushed aluminum lid and soft-touch chassis make GO an elegant solution to a problem so many of us face when fixing our makeup on the fly.

Skin Care Bundle Package $34.84



Talisa from Freedom Creators Co has expanded to making Natural Skin Care, Beeswax Candles, Soaps, and Organic Teas because she believes it is very important what you put in and on your body.

NETT Exfoliator £25.00 (approx. $35.00)



The NETT Exfoliator is originally from Ghana - where it is known as a ‘sapɔ’ - a unique exfoliation sheet that has been an essential part of the bathing culture for a very long time. The unique texture is perfect for maintaining smooth, soft skin and the length and shape are great for getting to those hard-to-reach places.

Furthermore, the exfoliator dries quickly after a shower avoiding any mold or mildew, and can be thrown into the washing machine to refresh. The NETT will last for up two 2 years, making it a sustainable choice.

Simply add your favorite soap or shower gel and use it in the shower or bath - don’t forget to moisturize afterward. 

Every NETT is sourced directly from market stall holders in Ghana at the market price. When you support NETT you support the local Ghanian economy. 

CAMI $75.00



All our products are crafted from bamboo, a soft breathable fabric that has natural antibacterial properties. Bamboo outlasts a fabric such as cotton in keeping shape, strength, and durability. 

A bamboo product can last three times longer when cared for properly. Textile manufacturing has a significant environmental impact, so wearing what you have longer is one of the best and easiest things you can do to make your clothing eco-friendlier.

Structured wireless cami can be worn instead of a bra.

Pure Papyrus Roll-On Fragrance $45.00


https://anuketluxury.com/products/pure-papyrus-roll-on-fragrance

Used for thousands of years by the Egyptians as a fragrance for both men and women, this crisp, clean scent will quickly become your favorite. Replace your current cologne or perfume with this essential oil that will linger on the skin all day long.
Roll-on bottle of 100% pure papyrus essence oil
All Anuket fragrances are natural and cruelty-free
No alcohol or other additives
10ml / .34 fl oz

Papyrus oil is the cold-pressed oil obtained from the Cyperus Papyrus plant and worn as a fragrance. Papyrus grew bountifully on the banks of the Nile River in ancient Egypt and was used for numerous things, such as baskets, sandals, reed boats, and most notably as a form of paper writing material. 

The oil obtained from the plant was used as a perfume, most often for men. However, it was believed that Cleopatra herself also wore a form of papyrus oil as part of her beauty regimen. Because it has a very clean, crisp, fresh scent, today it is considered a unisex fragrance and is admired by both men and women alike.

LUMINARY | RADIANCE ENHANCING FACE OIL $88.00



M.S Skincare is a luxury skincare and lifestyle brand built on the core belief that we all have the power to make a difference with our choices. Since our founding in 2012, our mission has resided in creating products that not only allow you to cultivate radiant and healthy skin but also to source ingredients and packaging ethically and responsibly. We have one planet, and we choose to treat it with kindness and compassion.

Activate profound radiance with a vital blend of oils known to naturally stimulate rapid resurfacing of the skin. 

Skin renewing Immortelle and Carrot Seed oils are recognized for their luminosity-enhancing properties which promote even skin tone, fade blemishes and lessen the appearance of fine lines. Vitamin C-rich Rosehip and brightening Sandalwood oil promote collagen and elastin for a deep, healthy glow. Balancing and highly potent, this skin-enhancing formula creates instant luminosity. 

Taut® Premium Collagen Powder $65.00



Collagen is the building block for youthful and healthy skin. Around age 25, our body's production of collagen slows dramatically. After we turn 30, our body starts to lose 1-2% of our collagen every year.  By age 40, our body has lost up to 20%. 

This gradual loss in skin collagen results in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and eventually sagging skin, with a lack of radiance and glow. No wonder we say, "Collagen is all that stands between you and wrinkles."

Each Taut® Premium Marine Collagen Powder sachet contains 1,500mg Marine Collagen Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid, and Grape Seed Extract to support your skin's structure and promote healthy youthful skin.*  Also helps to strengthen hair and nails.*  

Take 2-3 sachets/day to help support and maintain your youthful skin.
Each box Includes:
60 sachets Taut® Premium Marine Collagen Powder

Sun Damage Repair Serum $29.99



Developed through modern holistic biochemistry, our skincare products are purely beneficial for humans and the planet. Made with only certified organic and superior quality mineral ingredients.

UV rays break down collagen and create free radicals that damage skin cell DNA and cause visible skin aging like sun spots and wrinkles. To reverse sun damage, this potent yet gentle anti-aging regenerative serum was created by our Stanford biochemist to repair + renew skin and slow the aging process at the cellular level.

Antioxidants C and E synergistically fight free radicals that cause sun damage. Vitamin A stimulates skin cell production, and essential fatty aides improve skin tone and texture. Naturally treats melasma, hyper-pigmentation, and age spots on the face and hands. Natural Vitamin E shields skin against future UV exposure.

Formulated to reduce the appearance of fine lines, repair the skin’s surface, restore elasticity, and protect against future sun and pollution stressors that lead to wrinkles. Beta carotene and Carotenoids detoxify cells and increase cell turnover while essential fatty acids rebuild and strengthen skin cell membranes. Vitamin D ensures proper new skin cell development. The serum penetrates into deep layers of skin where Vitamin A and C stimulate collagen production, repair damaged tissue, and improve skin moisture levels.

This lightweight oil goes deep to moisturize, while Vitamin E removes redness and inflammation caused by UV rays, acne, eczema, and rosacea. Vitamin A evens out skin tone and pigmentation for brighter, more radiant skin. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) energizes and regenerates cell structure and protects cells from future oxidative damage. Vitamin C naturally encourages cell turnover and brightens dull skin.

An overnight facial and hand serum with botanical oils to repair sun-damaged skin at a cellular level. Naturally reduce sun spots, wrinkles, acne scars, and fine lines.

HELLA HYDRATION MOISTURE CREAM $32.00



Clean Beauty Cult started out in 2015 with 5 simple products under a different name (The Portland Girl). We’ve loved using our skincare studio as a base for testing and growing our product line. What better way to see how well a product works than to test it on the clients who come to see us every month for skincare services? If that’s not accountability, I don’t know what is!

We needed to create a line of skincare that met our artisanal standards, balanced the skin, and just as importantly, didn’t break the bank (and we think we’ve done just that!)

This enriching evening primrose oil cream is rich in gamma linoleic acids which are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and their ability to improve skin elasticity and combat infection. Great for Acne, Rosacea, signs of aging, Eczema, and skin ulcers. Scent Free.

USAGE: Dab and spread onto your face after you cleanse, exfoliate and tone your skin!
