The Art of Knowing When to Disengage: A Reflection on Mental Maturity and Pointless Debates
by CBET

In a world where differing opinions and perspectives are inevitable, it's essential to recognize when engaging in an argument or debate is worth your energy and when it's time to walk away. As Helen Mirren so astutely pointed out, "Before you argue with someone, ask yourself, is that person even mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" This question serves as a poignant reminder that not every argument is worth our time and effort.

The Difference Between Healthy Discussions and Pointless Debates

A healthy discussion is characterized by open-mindedness, a willingness to listen, and a desire to understand different perspectives. Engaging in such conversations can be enlightening, even if we don't agree with the other person. On the other hand, pointless debates involve individuals who are unwilling to consider alternative viewpoints, and instead, focus on reacting rather than understanding.

Recognizing Mental Maturity

Mental maturity is not about winning an argument or proving a point; it's about knowing when to engage and when to disengage. It's about recognizing that some people may not be ready to listen or consider different perspectives, and that's not our burden to carry. As Helen Mirren's quote suggests, maturity involves understanding that our peace and well-being are more valuable than proving a point to someone who has already made up their mind.

The Importance of Self-Preservation

In situations where engaging in a debate or argument becomes draining or toxic, it's essential to prioritize our own emotional well-being. Recognizing when to walk away from a conversation that is no longer productive or respectful is a sign of strength, not weakness. By choosing to disengage, we're not only preserving our own energy but also setting boundaries that promote our mental health.

As we move through the complexities of human interactions, let's remember that our peace and well-being are worth more than winning an argument or proving a point. Sometimes, the strongest thing we can do is walk away, and that's okay.

Liz Baliad Drops Skincare Routine
by: CBET

The founder of skincare brand Renew by Liz shares her favorite Rice Cleanser, Firming Face and Eye Serum, and Protective Jojoba Day Moisturizer. After trying various skincare products, Liz Baliad's beauty routine is surprisingly simple. As an engineer, you'd think she'd have an extravagant skincare routine, but she says, "I tend to have a less-is-more approach with skincare. Fewer, better products are the way to go."

With sensitive skin, Liz created Renew by Liz in 2020, featuring botanical products. She says, "Over the years, I've learned what ingredients work for my skin. I like to use powerful natural formulas with key active ingredients like aloe vera gel, vegetable glycerin, and cucumber fruit extract."

Read on to find out more of Baliad’s “super simple” routine.

My Morning Cleanse
In the morning I start by splashing some cold water on my face to reverse any puffiness or dullness from the prior night. I just use cold water from the top and my botanical cleansing lotion to cleanse my face.

My Makeup Remover
How you put on makeup is so important, but how do you take it off is even more important. My night time cleansing remover, and I use Renew by Liz Micellar Water. A gentle water based cleanser designed to remove makeup from eyes and face. This one step solution is suitable for everyday use for all skin types including sensitive skin.

My Exfoliator
Next I wash my face with super delicate exfoliator. I’m using the Mint Exfoliating Polish by Renew by Liz. It’s delicate enough to use daily.

My Serum
I follow up with my Firming Face and Eye Serum. I can’t start my morning without it. It’s almost like a multivitamin of my skin. An oil free, multi benefit serum that improves the skin appearance. Specifically effective in reducing dark circles under eyes as well as firming and tightening the entire eye area. Also, help prevents visible sign of aging.

My Moisturizer
In the day I follow with my Protective Jojoba Day Moisturizer. I really enjoy this step as you will see the instant results. My skin is immediately moisturized. It is beautiful alone on or under makeup, honestly. It provides a soft finish and ensures smooth makeup application. This is the best for all skin types.

My Sunscreen
Sunscreen is my beauty product that I could never live without. I wear it 365 days. It’s the best way to protect your skin and keep it looking even and youthful and protect against skin cancer.

My Body Cream
At night, I slather myself in Nurture Daily Skincare before bed that leaves a glorious dewy finish.

My Makeup
I love my Dual Powder Compact. I am thrilled to have a foundation and powder all -in- one. Medium to full coverage, will not settle to fine lines. I finish up with some Vitamin E lipstick and an easy swipe with Renew Liquid Velvet lipstick on my lips. Done. ✨ 💄
