I’m sincerely grateful and thankful for everyone who’s taken an interest in reading my blog and leaving friendly comments every now and then. Until today, I was unaware that commenters on my blog didn’t receive any type of notification that I had responded to their comments. Those of you who’s left questions and remarks are probably feeling a bit ignored due to this oversight. My blog is a work-in-progress and I’m a real newbie when it comes to blogging with WordPress.
So I found and installed a plugin that will now allow commenters the ability to subscribe to the blog entries they are interested in receiving email notifications. This way, commenters will receive my responses as well as future comments by other visitors.
For all you WordPress bloggers, check out this essential plugin:
Subscribe-to-Comments is a robust plugin that enables commenters to sign up for e-mail notification of subsequent entries. The plugin includes a full-featured subscription manager that your commenters can use to unsubscribe to certain posts, block all notifications, or even change their notification e-mail address!

A while ago, I wrote about my sudden random breakout that nearly drove me to the point of depression. I actually had great skin in high school and college but something happened within the last few months when I started getting more and more acne that wouldn’t go away. So now I’m constantly on the lookout for natural, preventative treatments for my adult acne.
I randomly saw this face mask when I was on a mission to find something that would work for my face. I didn’t want to invest in expensive acne treatments that would make my acne worse so I tried this egg white mask. After about a week, I noticed that my acne has significantly decreased in size and redness. The mask tightens my pores, evens my skin tone and fades out minor scars. My skin is also really soft after the first application. The only thing I don’t like about this mask is the smell but the results clearly out weight the con.
To prepare the egg white mask:
- Crack an egg in half over a bowl.
- Separate the yolk and egg white by sloshing between the egg shell halves.
- Beat the egg whites with a fork until it starts to foam. You can also add a teaspoon of honey as a natural antioxidant.
- Apply generously to your face and leave it on for 15 to 30 minutes.
The mask will dry stiff so you will know when its ready to wash off when you can’t move a muscle without cracking the mask. Remember to always moisturize after you wash your face. You can get about three masks from one egg so save what’s left over in your refrigerator for use the next day!
