How did "Let it go" from frozen saved me

I watched "Frozen" in cinema theatre last year december, I was pregnant then.  I enjoyed the movie and really love the songs.  But the song "Let it go " only 'hit' me recently (maybe when mm is abt 2 or 3mth old?) after it went viral after its win at Oscars.

Almost every kids know how to sing the song now, even wl can sing the whole song with actions and everything. But actually some parts of the lyrics is not very typical kind of things u would like ur kids to learn , like "I don't care,  what they're going to say" or "turn away and slam the door" or "no right no wrong no rules for me" ... but that's the point; elsa's tried to be this perfect girl all her life,  she now wants to be free from all the restrictions and be who she wants to be,  and "let it go"! 

I was pretty stressed up that time, trying to be the perfect mum. I want to be able to provide my kids with the best, and also do my best in my job. However, I realised I can't. It is depressing and devastating. After listening to that song over and over, "let it go, let it go" starts to open up my mind.

It doesn't help to just "let it go" though. Ariendelle is still in deep deep snow when Elsa "let it go". The only difference is Elsa became a different person, a happier person. Not bad for a start. At least her closed one, Anna, knew her problem. It is only when our loved ones know what's wrong with us, then they will be able to help us and reach out to us. Shielding them from our problems will not protect them, it will only build up a wall between us.

So "let it go" and tell your loved ones ur vulnerability, and let true love thaw away your frozen heart. (If u happen to freeze ur heart while pretending to be strong) ;)

Finally , "lip stick" that I like

Ok, it's not really lipstick, it's actually call a balm stain

Its Revlon 'just bitten kissable balm stain'

I usually dun put lip stick becoz most of the time they feel sticky and heavy, uncomfortable. I prefer lipbalm coz they are more moisturising and more comfortable,  though some are greasy and definitely not lasting. So for most of the time, I leave my lips bare, or at most I'll just apply some lip gloss... until I found this

It's a lip balm with color, so unlike lipstick which usually feels heavy, it feels like lip balm light and not that sticky, there is also a slight mint taste.. yet, unlike most lip balm, the color stays and shows very well and is not greasy! Super love!
