MAKE UP TIPS "LIPS TO DIE FOR"


It's easier than you think to have luscious, healthy lips. If you're having trouble with chapped lips, follow these simple, cheap and pocket friendly tips to achieve that sexy pout you have always desired.
  • Exfoliate your lips, yes you also exfoiliate your face/skin and body, you could also do same for your lips too. Get a cube of sugar, dip the tip of your mid finger into water and get like 3 drops of water on the cube, take the cube and scrub your lip of course without makeup on your lips, scrub for a maximum of five minutes, when you are done, apply a lip balm on it, you will notice how visibly pink/red the new skin on your lip is, all the chapps gone off.

  • Dip a plain toothbrush in petroleum jelly or Vaseline, then use it brush all the dead skin off your lips. Alternatively, mix a tablespoon of honey with enough sugar until you get a body-scrub-like texture, the scrub it across your lips with a toothbrush. Exfoliating will leave them smoother and make them look healthier. This is another alternative to the sugar therapy, you could try any of this healthy choices.

  • Avoid eating salty foods that leave a buildup on your lips. Salt draws moisture out of things, which is why people use it to dry and preserve meat. Eating pringles, for example, will leave a salty powder residue around your mouth, causing you to lick your lips which increases the dryness. 

  • Avoid licking your lips. Saliva dries out your lips, especially since licking your lips is a quick way to remove both lip balm.[

  • Use lip balm as a base for your lipstick. This will create a protective moisture seal beneath your makeup, not to mention make it easier to apply, also when you retire to bed at night take time to also mositurize you lips while asleep by applying a little lip balm. Use a moisturizing lipstick in the daytime, then switch to lip balm at night. Wake up in the morning with smooth lips.
  • Lastly, drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated is a great way to keep your lips moist..

HOW TO ROCK YOUR SHIRT DRESS.

                                                                      

                                                                     

There is nothing as casual and sophisticated as the look in a shirt dress, you could pair it up with a bright coloured belt and matching shoes as well (you really do not need a neck piece for this) but for those who might want to try a more sophisticated look, i will recommend buttoning up your dress to last, then place a very simple jewellery neatly under your collar  and fold back to its original state,  then you are all set. Match it up with an up do, probably a ponny tail or any other vintage hair style  like the "Marilyn Monroe" look,  http://www.nndb.com/people/219/000022153/ . Just avoid letting your hair down so as to avoid covering the beauty of the collar. You could also spice it up after work for a night out by using a vintage red sheer lip stick (i would recommend MAC ruby woo *melikey*. Watch out for more fashion trends here, i promise to keep y'all updated *hugs*

KIM KARDASHIAN REVEALS HER MUM PUT HER ON BIRTH CONTROL WHEN SHE WAS 14 YEARS OLD.


Famous talk show host  Oprah Winfrey best known for her self-titled, multi-award-winning talk show, which has become the highest-rated program of its kind in history and was nationally syndicated from 1986 to 2011 got all close and personal with the Kardashian’s.  During the family interview, a lot of personal details you didn’t know about the Kardashian clan was reveal, among the nitty gritty details dished out on set, the one which really set the mood for me to sit and critically put up this write up was when Kim revealed her mother Kris put her on a pill while she was 15!!! *sweatsprofusely* .


Kim Kardashian in the first of a two-part interview on Oprah’s Next Chapter, said she was “almost 15″ when her mother Kris Jenner got her on birth control.

Kim said the parenting decision came as a result of her desire to explore her sexuality with her boyfriend, a family friend.

“When I did want to have sex the first time I was almost 15,” Kim said, adding her liberal mom was open to discussion about the topic, and even got her on birth control.

She continued: “I was like, ‘I think I’m going to, or I want to,’ and she was like, ‘OK, so this is what we’re gonna do, we’re gonna put you on birth control,’ and she was like, really open and honest with me.”

The revelation came as a surprise to the veteran journalist Oprah, who said, “Wow,” before moving onto the next question.

We Africans could be quite judgemental when it comes to sensitive issues like this, but i choose not to criticize but rather look at the motive behind the act, because as far as i am concerned, if the motive behind the act was positive and  for her own good then you cannot boldly lay claims that Kris was wrong for doing this. Let’s not forget she is a teenager and at this age, they love to explore, love to take adventures and it is almost impossible to cut their wings at this age, if there is one thing is respect Kim for is that at such age, she was able to open up on a topic that most teenagers dread having with her parents. The young lad (Kim) did a very brave thing by discussing her intentions with her mum and Kris in turn did what she taught was appropriate by providing her with birth control. Only God knows what it would have resulted in engaging in sex without proper knowledge, she could have gotten pregnant or probably have an STD, she could be stuck with a child she is not proud of for the rest of her life and probably the lucky champ who took away her innocence will run away or deny responsibility of the child.we all know the stigma attached with teenage pregnancy, she could have tried having an abortion and probably lost her life in the process or damaged her womb, it is just luck, some people do it and get away without it any complications

Let’s be realistic, nowadays parents are so carried away with career or business, that they ignore their kids when they need them the most, we are not there 24/7 with the children, we do not watch them grow, we do not monitor their activities, we find it challenging to discuss sex with our kids, we have no idea what they spend their time doing on the internet and what they pollute their young minds with; take for instance the video that went viral of a little girl having sex with a 3 year old!!! Lets face it, more than 75% of teenagers today are sexually active.  Pheeeeeewwwww..... i know about 95% of readers will not agree with my stance on this topic, but i want to make this more interactive, please kindly share your views on the comment thread below.

Is it cool for a mother to discuss sex with her 15 years old daughter and also provide support when the child decides too?

BOKO HARAM ISSUES THREAT VIA FACEBOOK





At exactly 6:57am today this was posted on the facebook wall of "hope for Nigeria".



B*R*E*A*K*I*N*G News!
WE Will Shed More Christians Blood. Take Over Govt Buildings - BOKO HARAM.
**Recruits 300 Suicide Bombers to Churches in Jos and Kaduna.
**We will Hit FCT before the end of June in a Big Way.
**More coordinated Church attacks as never happened before.

The militant Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati Wal-Jihad, an Islamist sect widely known as Boko Haram, has revealed to SaharaReporters that it plans to launch further devastating attacks on churches and government buildings in the coming days and weeks.
On the heels of this week’s escalation of sectarian violence in Kaduna State, the sect said it planned to make the month of June 2012 the bloodiest month yet in its violent and bloody campaigns against those it tagged infidels.

A contact for the sect told SaharaReporters that his group’s planned attacks would be focused and bloody. The group’s spokesperson claimed that Boko Haram had moved some 300 suicide bombers to attack churches in Southern Kaduna as well as Plateau State.
The source also stated that the sect was determined to exact massive revenge for the Muslims killed in the Jos and Southern Kaduna areas.

To achieve its current deadly agenda, the contact said Boko Haram had recruited the sons and daughters of some Muslims killed in past religious conflicts. He revealed that the new recruits are sworn to an oath of secrecy and allegiance before they are sent to train in handling weapons, bomb making and suicide bombing in Mauritania and Somalia. On the trainees’ return to Nigeria, they are handed over to Boko Haram “welfare officers” who ensure that all their needs are met.

The contact disclosed that Boko Haram’s welfare officers provide material support for the suicide bombers’ families and relatives before and after the recruits are sent on assignments, mostly suicide missions that end their lives. He stated that Boko Haram’s welfare officers continue to cater to the needs of suicides’ families, often paying them huge "gratuities."
The contact for Boko Haram stated that the planned attacks will almost quadruple on Sunday when the sect plans to attack several churches simultaneously to prove their deadly potency. "Boko Haram intends to show to President Jonathan that his military advisers are just deceiving him," said the source.

Apart from attacks on churches, the contact said the sect plans to attack or take over government buildings in Kano, Kaduna, Yobe and Gombe states. He added that the sect also plans a major attack on the Federal Capital territory (FCT) before the end of June to cap its possibly bloodiest campaign in June. He said Boko Haram wanted to prove that the Nigerian security agencies have in no way hampered the sect’s operations and that security forces cannot match the group’s deadly force.
The contact explained that the decision to intensify attacks this June was reportedly taken at the sect’s recent "parliamentary" meeting. - sahara reporters.
 
Like seriously the insecurity in this country is so alarming, what do this people really want? what is the way forward? May God continue to guide and protect us. Pause where you are and say a lil prayer for naija, it could be anyone of us, our friends, loved ones, family, it could be anybody, lets committ this nation into Gods hands, he is the only one that can heal our land.
 
 
Report  any suspicious persons and object to the law enforcement agencies, as that will save lives. To see for your self follow this link :

WHAT EXAMPLE ARE YOU SETTING?





Your kids won't always do what you tell them to do... but they'll always do what they see you do: What example are you setting?

Parenting - this is a big word and also a huge responsibility, we should not take it lightly when we plan to have children and we must prepare for it before taking the first step. Parenting is not only about providing the right physical needs for the child, but it is also about providing the right environment for the child to grow from in different aspects (spiritual, emotional, mental, educationally etc) . Parenting helps the child to become physically and mentally healthy, in order to prepare for his or her later years. Many parents start parenting with a busy and stressful attitude. They get caught up in the amount of work that adds to their daily life such as nursing, clothing, feeding and educating the child. Some parents involve their children in many activities and neglect the most important part of raising a child, which is having a relationship with his child as well as building the child to have a relationship with God which is very important.

When it comes to teaching children religion, many parents do not realize the importance of starting at an early age. They assume that the young child does not yet have the ability to comprehend. Some parents will depend solely on Sunday school and going to church . To a large extent, children in their early years learn by imitation/observation, Often little boys copy their fathers, and little girls model their mothers. But many parents see their sons trying on Mom's lipstick or their daughters "shaving" with Daddy. "At age 1, toddlers do what they see," they really are not conscious of what they are doing or if i may say they find it really complex to differentiate between genders, gender identity usually doesn’t emerge until about age 3.

We cannot use the excuse that life is so frenzied that it prevents us from knowing our children, having a positive relationship with them, or teaching them how to pray and be closer to God. We need to realize that everything should begin with God and our main responsibility as parents is to practice the presence of God, and then all our life will become a prayer that is pleasing to God. Proverbs 22:6 clearly explains what the bible says about training a child in the way of the lord, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it”. Other verses quote thus;

 
”Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord”.  Ephesians 6:4

“Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live”. Deuteronomy 4:9

“Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up”.  Deuteronomy 11:19.
Parenting comes with a lot of responsibilities/sacrifices, having a child in the family is a life changing experience, it is never to late to learn or seek Godly counsel when it comes to raising a kid, it is the most rewarding and fulfilling decision you could ever take. I am learning a few things too myself, and i pray to God everyday that when the time comes, i will be blessed with all that it takes to be a good parent, i hope this would be helpful to someone out there :-) . Ladies!!!! hmmmmm you know what to do, dont say i did not give you a hint, make sure you give this article or send the link to your husbands to read okay!!. I don try jooooooooooooooooor lol!

"Breaking Dawn part 2" child revealed in photo with Bella and Edward



She's half human, half vampire, and entirely adorable -- in a stoic, bloodthirsty sort of way. Bella and Edward's first offspring Renesmee has been revealed as she makes her big screen debut -- in a talking role -- in "Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2" (in theaters November 16).
Renesmee, seen peeking through in this photo released by Entertainment Weekly, is played by 11-year-old Mackenzie Foy -- and yes, she has grown up quite quickly since she was born in "Part 1." (To be fair, Foy did make a brief appearance as Renesmee in "Part 1" during a flash forward scene depicting the thoughts of Jacob -- played by Taylor Lautner.)
Speaking of flash forwards, before "Twilight," Foy appeared in the show "Flash Forward," as well as "Hawaii Five-O," and has other television and film projects on the horizon. Foy was actually filming "Five-O" when she found out she got the part of Renesmee, as she told Yahoo! Movies during the premiere for "Part 1

Director Bill Condon indicates Renesmee is "hugely important." He also said this during his  interview:
It really brought something paternal out in Rob, and Kristen was especially protective. I'd have to interrupt them when they were in deep conversation to get going with a scene.
In the film, Renesmee is the catalyst for intense conflict between the Cullen clan and the Volturi vampires. (Gang war, anyone?) And judging from her prior appearance in "Part 1," we gather she could grow to become Jacob's eventual love interest.
Kristen Stewart also shared with EW her thoughts on the girl who plays her daughter:
I loved chatting with Mackenzie... I'm always curious about what's going on in the minds of kids on set. She's really close to the age I was when I started [acting]. View the movie traike below......

NICKY MINAJ SINGS "SUPER BASS" WITH SOPHIA GRACE AND ROSIE ON ELLEN DEGENERES.





Sophia Grace Brownlee and her cousin Rosie McClelland were first invited to the show after Ellen DeGeneres saw their YouTube video cover of "Super Bass" by Nicki Minaj. Since then the nine- and five-year-old Essex natives have appeared several times on the show, having been filmed at Disneyland, the Grammy Awards, and the American Music Awards. They have met celebrities such as Adam Levine, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Hugh Grant, Taylor Swift, One Direction, and Russell Brand. Smart kids i must say, their mothers must be so proud of them. Now to you reading this, you...... yes you, could you do even quarter of this at your age *eyesrolling* *smh*


Is this a naked picture of Kim Kardashian that Kanye West posted on Twitter?





Scores of users of the social networking site claimed the pic had been tweeted by Kim's rapper boyfriend Kanye West, and then swiftly deleted, But porn star Amia Miley insisted the picture of a nude woman sitting on a hotel bed eating a banana, was in fact of her.She tweeted: "Apparently a naked photo of me eating is going viral... as Kim Kardashian.... Im confused."

Some of her followers leapt to support her, saying she tweeted the picture herself a year ago. And Amia added: "im not going to argue about whether that picture is me or not,. want proof? look at the back dimple piercings. kim k doesn't have those." Between for the guys *winks* those who wanna check Amia Miley out on twitter you could follow her on (@amiamiley).

She followed up by saying: "oh, and my right wrist piercing shows in the pic too... the end."

Kim and Kanye remained silent on the matter

THE POWER OF KEGEL EXCERCISES IN TONING THE VAGINA MUSCLES





Kegels are exercises you can do to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles – the muscles that support your urethra, bladder, uterus, and rectum. The exercises are named after Arnold Kegel, a gynecologist who recommended them back in the 1940s to help women with urinary incontinence, or diminished bladder control, which can happen after childbirth.If you're not already doing Kegel exercises, start them now. Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles may help prevent or treat urinary stress incontinence, a problem that affects up to 70 percent of women during or after pregnancy. Kegel exercises may also help reduce the risk of anal incontinence.

Because Kegels improve circulation to your rectal and vaginal area, they may help keep hemorrhoids at bay and possibly speed healing after an episiotomy or tear during childbirth. Finally, continuing to do Kegel exercises regularly after giving birth not only helps you maintain bladder control, it also improves the muscle tone of your vagina, making sex more enjoyable. Kegel excercise is not only for pregnant women, any lady can perform a kegel, it help strengthen the vaginal wall which is an added advantage when child birth is due

How do you perform a kegel exercise?
Find the right muscles. Try one of the following ways to find the right muscles to squeeze.
• Imagine that you are trying to stop passing gas. Squeeze the muscles you would use. If you sense a "pulling" feeling, you are squeezing the right muscles for pelvic exercises.
• Imagine that you are sitting on a marble and want to pick up the marble with your vagina. Imagine "sucking" the marble into your vagina.
• Lie down and put your finger inside your vagina. Squeeze as if you were trying to stop urine from coming out. If you feel tightness on your finger, you are squeezing the right pelvic muscles.

LOOSING WEIGHT NATURALLY WITH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.

It is often said, it is easier to gain weight than loose it which if i may say and can attest to that, curbing ones eating habits is the hardest but yet most rewarding thing to do to maintain a healthy life style. Health is wealth and for you to achieve that state of physical and mental wellness, you should consider eating healthy. You are what you eat. Are you willing to stay off processed foods? Clear your cabinet off junk food, say a final goodbye to obesity? stay off fries, replace that red beef with lean meat and protein? eat in portions, replace that coke and pepsi with natural healthy extracted juice straight from the source? Are you willing to go on a diet plan? Are you willing to sweat your way out to a well sculpted body, toned muscles and that ideal weight you have always desired? I can assure you one thing “you are on the right path” .

The World's Healthiest Foods are NATURALLY colourful. The more colourful your meal, the greater likelihood you will receive a rich diversity of nutrients necessary for good health and vitality, they are not only rich, but are a delight to look at. Adding fruits and vegetables to your diet is an effective way to lose weight. When people think about losing weight, they often think about the foods they should remove from their diet, but adding fruits and vegetables, which are typically rich in fiber, is an effective weight loss technique. Many people shy away from adding fruits to their diets, because they believe that they are high in sugar and calories. While fruits do typically contain more calories than vegetables, they are still lower in calories than most other choices. You'll not only maintain your weight much easier if you eat more RAW fruits & veggies but you'll also lose weight much faster on a weight loss plan, eating more RAW fruits & veggies and here's another quick fact. Your body burns 16% more calories after you eat a meal that's mostly fruits & vegetables than if you ate a meal without any fruits or vegetables plus Fruits & vegetables high in vitamin C like Oranges, lemons & pineapples liquefy (or burn off) body fat so the fat can be easily flushed out of your body.

In conclusion, for you to get speedy weight loss results, exercise is one important factor we must consider to get back in shape. Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. You don't need to set aside large chunks of time for exercise to reap weight-loss benefits. If you can't do an actual workout, get more active throughout the day in simple ways — by taking the stairs instead of the elevator or revving up your household chore. WATCH what you take in, you are what you eat.









RECIPE FOR MY FAVOURITE CHICKEN CURRY SAUCE.







If there is one thing i would never forget *smiles* my dad’s favourite delicacy  “chicken curry sauce”. I remember way back occasionally when my dad decides to give us a treat, we would all sit back, relax and watch him take over the kitchen. It thrilled me to see such joy and effort he squeezes out to make all of us happy, if there is one thing i am grateful for amongst other  things, is the fact that he taught me how to make this delicious dish. Yeah! You heard me right, an ex military officer with great culinary skills J #hardtocomeby#.

Long story short........ lemme share the recipe with you guys as well.... #ENJOY#

INGRDIENTS

·         Chicken

·         Spices (maggi chicken, curry, thyme, black pepper, garlic and ginger paste or powder)

·         Onions

·         Salt

·         Vegetable (carrot, spring onions, red pepper, green pepper, runner beans, tomatoes)

·         Irish potatoes

·         Multipurpose baking flour



How to prepare:

1.       Wash and de-feather any traces of feathers on your chicken because it could be a turn off noticing it from your already prepared sauce. After carefully washing it, salt it adequately, chop  your onions finely (preferably in cubes so it isn’t so noticeable, add your curry, thyme, black pepper,  peel the ginger and garlic and grate it into the chicken or if you have them in powder form you could also use it as substitute.  Now carefully work your fingers through the chicken making sure the spice goes round the chicken parts sparingly. Note: do not add water yet, cover the pot and keep in the fridge to marinate (to marinate means literally soaking a piece of chicken, meat or fish etc in a marinade, eg a type of sauce or mixture of spices, to give it flavour before cooking). This is usually done for a least a few hours or even overnight.

2.       Peel the potatoes, wash and boil with medium heat

3.       Bring the chicken out and boil as well with low heat and add water little by little after the chicken must have brought out its natural juice. Let the chicken boil for about thirty minutes till it is tender.

4.       Now it’s time to wash the vegetables, peel the outer part of the carrot, chop the carrots to whatever shape or size you so desire, chop the spring onions as well with the red pepper, green pepper, runner beans,  as for the tomatoes, you cut them out in fine circles.

5.       Now it time to throw in the vegetables except the tomatoes, let the vegetables cook for about five minutes

6.       Get your multipurpose flour, sieve it finely and measure two or more table spoons  depending  on how large your pot is, mix the flour with little water let it be smooth so you have to stir and break out any lumps in it, flour and water serves as a thickening agent for soups.

7.       Pour in the flour and water sauce into the pot and you would notice how thick the soup becomes, at this point you can put in the potatoes after cutting them in halves, the tomatoes comes in last because it is tender. Let it cook for about five minutes again then take it off the cooker.

8.       And now your sauce is ready, you can eat it with either spaghetti or rice.
