										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Ladies! You know how we love to rock our hair edges especially when you so desire to flaunt your very beautiful hair&#8230; Now, Imagine that long black hair with damaged, thinning, balding edges, that is absolutely the worst!</p>
<p>This section of your hair can’t be missed and there is little you can do to hide it. So it’s best that you catch things in time before it gets out of hand. If you have noticed that your edges are starting to thin out here are some tips for getting things back on track:</p>
<h4><strong>Avoid Really Tight Braids That Pull Your Edges</strong></h4>
<p>When worn too frequently braids are known to thin out edges and in the worst case scenario they can cause traction <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alopecia_areata">alopecia</a>.</p>
<p>Braids do have the advantage of protecting your hair from over manipulation, but when it comes to your edges sometimes the tension is just too much.</p>
<p>If you have just taken out a set of braid extension, give your hair plenty of breathing time. Also make sure you ask your stylist to go easy on your edges so that they are not pulled too tightly. If your edges are looking really bad you may want to lay off period.</p>
<h4><strong>Tight Ponytails Can Cause Edges to Thin As Well</strong></h4>
<p>Sometimes when we wear our ponytails we  like them to be sleek and a tighter ponytail definitely achieves this. However wearing a slicked back and tight ponytail too frequently can damage your edges.  Damage can be mitigated by switching up your style and not consistently pulling your hair back in this position.</p>
<h4><strong>Avoid Picking, Twirling, or Manipulating This Area</strong></h4>
<p>If you have a habit of twirling or manipulating this area, stop it! The thinning of your edges is a sign that your hair is being over manipulated and too much tension is being applied. Constantly touching this area will cause even more damage.  Instead try massaging or gently rubbing oils in that area to stimulate hair growth.</p>
<h4><strong>Smooth Product on Rather Than Using a Brush</strong></h4>
<p>It is okay to use a brush every once in a while for smoothing but avoid making it a daily habit. Brushes can rip and tear at the hair and if you use it too often overtime you will notice your hair will become thinner. Instead choose products that you can smooth on with your hands and will lay your edges down nicely.</p>
<h4><strong>Let your hair breathe more by implementing more low manipulation styles</strong></h4>
<p>Give your hair a new style and some healthy variation by doing more low manipulation styles like braid outs, twist outs, and bantu knot outs.</p>
<p>Castor oil can help re-grow thinning edges.</p>
<p>Have you ever had this issue? If so, Please share in the comment section on how your edges grew back?</p>

<div class="slideshow-body__slide-title">Bras come in different <a href="https://hermaze.com/9-best-bra-brands-full-bust/">shapes, types and brands</a>. They are built according to the purpose intended. Majority of the ladies today just wear these bras giving less regard to its fit.</div>
<div></div>
<div class="slideshow-body__slide-title">Below are the types of bras that exist and how to wear according to their build.</div>
<h4 class="slideshow-body__slide-title"><strong>The Seamless Bra</strong></h4>
<div class="slideshow-body__content slide-text">
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="http://www.kimjpalmer.com/wp2/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/01_A2-seamless-bra.jpg" alt="Image result for the seamless bra" width="581" height="399" /></p>
<p>The seamless bra is the most essential one in any collection. It’s simple and versatile— and it is the one you will wear most.</p>
<p><b>Structure and Style:</b> The seamless bra has smooth, preformed round cups and is sold only with an underwire. These bras are available with a contoured style, which offers a bit more coverage, or with a plunging <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9colletage">décolletage</a>. A good option for women with a fuller bust is the seamless bra designed with elastane fabric on both sides of the cup. The fabric covering the inside of the cup is the same as that on the outside of the bra. The second lining will provide additional support, and together the lining and the cup ensure your nipples will never show through.</p>
<p><b>Benefits and Beauty:</b> This bra does its job without adding any fullness to the breasts, thereby creating a more natural appearance. Thanks to cutting-edge technology, seamless bras with great fit are available up to a size K cup.</p>
<p><b>Shopping:</b> This bra is the workhorse of every intimates collection, and you will rely on it for its versatility. When shopping for it, bring along a favorite T-shirt and blouse to make sure it fits just right.</p>
<p><b>Wearing It:</b> Seamless bras look great where you want a very smooth look, such as under T-shirts, thinner and fitted tops and blouses, and lightly woven knits.</p>
</div>
<h4><strong>The Strapless Bra</strong></h4>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/543c7fd0e4b0a14514982641/t/5549a5dee4b0f65d7d6ebb86/1430890629220/The+BEST+Strapless+Bra+for+D%2FDD+%2B+Sizes?format=1000w" alt="Image result for The Strapless Bra" /></p>
<div id="slide-details"></div>
<div class="slideshow-body__content slide-text">
<p>Finding a strapless bra with perfect fit cannot be a hurried purchase, and in this case it pays to think ahead. Even if you don’t think you need one, you should have one. Trust me, there will come that day when you will find a need for it!</p>
<p><b>Structure and Style:</b> A strapless bra is exactly that—a bra without straps. However, clear convertible straps may be attached for wear with intricate necklines and design details. Although bra technology has come a long way, this bra can still pose a fit challenge for women with a fuller bust. If finding the right strapless bra seems elusive, a strapless corset is a great alternative.</p>
<p><b>Benefits and Beauty:</b> The support of a strapless bra comes from its wide bandeau, boning, strategic seaming, and underwire. Additionally, the boning in the cup shapes the breasts, while silicone strips reduce slippage.</p>
<p><b>Shopping:</b> Look for a wide <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandeau">bandeau</a>, underwire under the arms and in the center front, silicone strips along the inside, strategic seaming in the cups, and the ultimate support detail, boning in the cups. If the fit is good, but support is still a concern, purchase invisible convertible straps. In addition to the reinforcement, the straps also offer the option of wearing a variety of necklines and design details—cold shoulder, racer back, halter—while maintaining a refined look.</p>
<p><b>Wearing It:</b> Years ago the strapless bra lived solely in the domain of after-five cocktail dresses and evening gowns. Today, plus size clothing is sexier, and much more cutting-edge, and may require a strapless bra for daytime attire as well.</p>
</div>
<h4><strong>The Seamed Bra</strong></h4>
<div id="slide-details"><img decoding="async" class="" title="seamed bra" src="http://static.oprah.com/2016/09/201609-orig-seamed-bra-949x1356.jpg" alt="seamed bra" width="497" height="711" /></div>
<div></div>
<div>Every woman should own a seamed bra for the lift and structure it adds to the bust line. It is a must if you wear a D cup or larger.</div>
<div class="slideshow-body__content slide-text">
<p><b>Structure and Style:</b> What makes a seamed bra different from a seamless bra is the strategic cup seaming, which adds more structure to the bust line. There is no preformed cup in a seamed bra. All the work of maximizing the lift and the shape of the breasts is steered by the seams at the side, center, and across the cups. Seamed bras are available with or without an underwire.</p>
<p><b>Benefits and Beauty:</b> The seaming is what makes this bra so useful, and designers have also made this detail a part of its beauty. Seamed bras do more than enhance the lift of the breasts; they also provide great support. For women with a full bust, an underwire style takes support a step further.</p>
<p><b>Shopping:</b> Seamed bras are offered in a mix of mesh, lace, and stretch nylon. This blending of fabrics is lovely, but the first choice, especially when you’re just beginning to build a collection or are buying a large quantity of bras at one time, is an unembellished fabric in a neutral hue.</p>
<p><b>Wearing It:</b> Seamed bras look terrific under a suit, and they perform beautifully under heavier garments and layers.</p>
<h4><strong>The Convertible Bra</strong></h4>
</div>
<div id="slide-details"> <img decoding="async" src="https://i2.wp.com/tinabasu.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/11502881406235-PrettySecrets-Nude-Coloured-Solid-Underwired-Lightly-Padded-Everyday-Bra-B0016-5041502881405895-1.jpg?resize=480%2C640" alt="Image result for The Convertible Bra" /></div>
<div></div>
<div>The convertible bra makes designs with various shoulder cuts available to all women.</div>
<div class="slideshow-body__content slide-text">
<p><b>Structure and Style:</b> A convertible bra has detachable straps that may be configured to accommodate the design details of outer garments.</p>
<p><b>Benefits and Beauty:</b> An exposed bra strap is a distraction and can ruin the look of any outfit. A convertible bra solves that problem. Convertible bras with an underwire are perfect for women with a cup size of D or larger, because it provides additional support.</p>
<p><b>Shopping:</b> When purchasing this bra style look for the same design qualities as a strapless bra.</p>
<p><b>Wearing It:</b> This is an option for strapless dresses, gowns, and tops for women with smaller breasts. If you frequently wear tops or dresses with revealing shoulder, back, and neckline details, such as halter, racer back, crisscross, and one-shoulder silhouettes, look for a bra with modifiable clear straps that can be either removed or adjusted.</p>
<h4><strong>The Sports Bra</strong></h4>
</div>
<div id="slide-details"><img decoding="async" class="" title="sports bra" src="http://static.oprah.com/2016/09/201609-orig-sports-bra-949x1356.jpg" alt="sports bra" width="480" height="686" /></div>
<div></div>
<div>Every woman who works out needs a sports bra for support and protection.</div>
<div class="slideshow-body__content slide-text">
<p><b>Structure and Style:</b> Sports bras are designed to minimize breast movement during exercise. This item is essential for all women, particularly for those who wear a D cup or larger. Designs that have compression and encapsulation—two distinct cups—are also very important for women with a fuller bust because they lessen the bounce during exercise. Encapsulation also prevents the tearing of healthy breast tissue, which is especially important if you participate in high-impact workouts.</p>
<p><b>Benefits and Beauty:</b> As with other bra styles, the technology behind sports bras has evolved. Some designs look like a regular bra with seaming, while others have underwire. There are styles that provide back smoothing, and those with substantial adjustable straps.</p>
<p><b>Shopping:</b> When purchasing a sports bra, consider the vigor of the sports activity for which it will be used. When trying one on, make sure it provides maximum coverage. Your breasts should feel secure, but the straps should not dig into your shoulders. In fact, it’s a good idea to purchase styles with wide straps for extra comfort and control. Look for the latest high-tech fabrics, such as Coolmax and Supplex, as they have moisture-wicking properties that dry five times faster than sports bras made of cotton. Quick-drying fabrics eliminate under-bust chafing.</p>
<p><b>Wearing It:</b> A sports bra looks well under the latest, high-tech workout tank tops, T-shirts, and jackets. It is not designed for daily wear.</p>
<h4><strong>The Minimizer Bra</strong></h4>
</div>
<div id="slide-details"> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/811aymgkQ9L._UX385_.jpg" alt="Image result for The Minimizer Bra" width="439" height="439" /></div>
<div></div>
<div>Buttons make a comeback when you add the minimizer bra to your collection. With this item, you can say good-bye to bust line gap! Because women who are inverted triangles or ovals are smaller in the lower part of their bodies, they benefit from wearing this bra as it helps to visually balance their proportions.</div>
<div class="slideshow-body__content slide-text">
<p><b>Structure and Style:</b> This strategically seamed bra is available in long-line and strapless styles, and in a variety of fabrics.</p>
<p><b>Benefits and Beauty:</b> The minimizer is the bonus bra among the essentials and designed to give the appearance of a smaller bust. It does so by reducing your breasts’ projection, that is, the forward distance of your breasts from your chest wall. By shifting the breast mass toward the underarm it also changes the shape of your breasts. This is a great bra for a little reduction for those who wear a DD cup or larger. Wearing a minimizer will reduce the bust by one and a quarter inches or even more.</p>
<p><b>Shopping:</b> Purchase a minimizer in the same size as other bras. Beware: a smaller size will not provide greater results, only a horrible fit. When shopping, bring a shirt or blouse that always gaps across the bust to try on with the bra. The difference will be apparent immediately.</p>
<p><b>Wearing It:</b> Minimizers work especially well under button-down shirts, fitted blouses, dresses, and jackets.</p>
</div>
<p>Depending on how you want your girls to look, this should guide your bra shopping and how you wear your bras. This guide will help give your bust a good look and the perfect lift.</p>

<p>Visible pant line popularly called <em>VPL</em> can ruin a beautiful day but they can be avoided by wearing the right and perfect set of underpants.</p>
<p>I will never forget the most embarrassing day of my life, I was all dressed up for a red-carpet event in my beautiful black bodycon dress by Dolce &amp; Gabbana. Immediately I stepped down from my car I saw Wale my endless crush and I noticed his eyes were fixed on me. As I walked slowly down the red carpet I met with my friends and we decided to take selfies yet his eyes were still on me.</p>
<p>He walked slowly towards me, still staring at me I thought to myself he has finally found the guts to ask me out, but to my greatest surprise the words that came out of his mouth stroke me I felt like going into the ground.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Did he just tell me my panty lines are showing through my dress?&#8221; </em></p>
<p>Now, to avoid embarrassing situations like this, Below are tips on how to prevent <em>VPL</em> from ruining your day.</p>
<h4><strong>Consider Wearing the Right Panties</strong></h4>
<p>Wearing the right and perfect size of panties can help save you from the embarrassment of visible pant line. While shopping for your panties make sure they are not too tight to avoid your pants digging into your skin which will make you feel uncomfortable at the same time also make sure they are not too loose hence it folds up causing wrinkles and bumps on your clothing’s.</p>
<h4><strong>Wearing of Thongs/G-Strings</strong></h4>
<p>Thongs are the perfect choice of panties when dealing with visible pant lines while they may not be so comfortable to wear they are a good option to go for most especially when wearing spandex and lycra fabrics. G-strings have fewer fabrics than thongs so you might want to consider having G-strings as a must have panties.</p>
<h4><strong>Consider Boy Shorts/ Wearing of Seamless Pants</strong></h4>
<p>Boy shorts are set of panties which give full coverage whenever they are worn. This is because they do not cut across your butt and wearing of boy shorts gives a seamless look. Most seamless panties come in elastic and spandex, while shopping make sure you buy a boy shorts that fit your butt comfortably to avoid making it obvious from the outer part of your clothes.</p>
<h4><strong>Be Brave</strong></h4>
<p>Being brave means not wearing underwear or panties, this is the only way to be assured that no visible pant line or what so ever will spoil your perfect day. It is good when wearing a pair of trousers but when on skirts and dresses make sure you wear undergarments and if you are not comfortable doing this you can order a disposable cotton patch. While going bravely make sure you wash your a pair of trousers to avoid bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections.</p>
<h4><strong>Try Under Garments</strong></h4>
<p>Wearing of under garments is another means of tackling Visible pant line. Under garments comes in different variants like Shapewears, tights, a slip (under skirt). These under garments give you a smooth look and help cover all wrinkles that seem to appear on your clothing’s. Most undergarments are of lycra fabrics which help shape your butt and prevents outfits from bunching.</p>
<h4><strong>Avoid Skin Clinging Clothes</strong></h4>
<p>Clinging clothes are extremely tight clothing’s, which will always hug your body and reveal your pant lines, when wearing a clinging garment, I will advise you bear it all (Go commando) and not wear any panties better still you wear an under garments to make your butt a little firm to avoid butt movement.</p>
<h4><strong>Wear Thicker Fabrics /Avoid Steer Clear Clothing</strong></h4>
<p>The type of fabrics you wear goes a long way in determining if you would have to tackle visible pant line all day long, try avoid steer clear clothing’s and embrace thicker fabrics. Wearing of thick fabrics you wouldn’t have to worry about visible pant lines all day long. Examples of thick fabrics are tweed over fabrics like jersey, silk, and denim, it is important to note that not all denim is equal make sure you go for the thicker once.</p>
<p>Finally, Print materials are good at disguising visible pant lines because of the fabric which is busy in nature which will cover any wrinkle or lines.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is every ladies dream to have a blissful marriage. Your mother-in-law can be a sole factor to achieving this. To an extent, they influence the success of a marriage, especially in an African setting where marrying a man means marrying his whole family.</p>
<p>Susan almost lost her mind when she answered the door bell to her apartment, seeing her mother-in-law at the door post with her luggage. Mama, this time around, came with Nkiru a far distance relative. Mama just left Susan’s home 2 weeks ago after staying for a month. Susan in her shocked state flashed a smile welcoming her mother-in-law and Nkiru with a warm reception.</p>
<p>“<em>Obi, did mama tell you she will be coming to Lagos</em>” Susan asked her husband over the phone. Apparently mama decided to stop by without prior notice again, her last stay was a living hell for Susan, Mama complains about everything <em>“Too much salt in the food, too much Maggi, too much pepper, why are you wasting my son&#8217;s money buying gas can’t you cook with fire wood”</em> who does that in the city, cook with fire wood!</p>
<p>Susan had made up her mind to opt out of her 18 months marriage, if her husband continues to keep mute concerning his mother`s monstrous attitude.</p>
<p>So many marriages have ended within a short period of exchanging marital vows due to the mother-in-laws inability to limit their interference in the children’s marriage. This has made their daughter in-laws see them as a &#8220;<em>monster-in-law&#8221;</em> instead of a mother-in law.</p>
<p>Below are steps on how to deal with a &#8220;<em>monster- in -law&#8221;</em> in the name of a mother-in-law.</p>
<h4><strong>Tell Your Spouse to Set Boundaries</strong></h4>
<p>Setting boundaries in relationships are very important. Both parents should have their bounds and not wholly interfere in the affairs of their married children except it is highly essential/ their attention is needed.</p>
<p>Sometimes an unscheduled visits by parents/relatives of either spouses may be allowed. However, it is important to set the boundaries to prevent this from being an everyday occurrence.</p>
<h4><strong>Good Cop and Bad Cop</strong></h4>
<p>The perception you create about your spouse determines how your family/relatives will perceive him/her. Never talk down about your spouse whether to your mother or siblings. It indirectly creates an impression and affects the relationship between them. Irrespective of the character, attitude, issues and differences you may be going through, portray your spouse in a good way, it ensure they get along very well. However, there are cases where the family intervention will be needed, you would need to apply discretion and deal with this in a matured way.<strong> </strong></p>
<h4><strong>Appreciate Their Advice Whether You Heed To It or Not</strong></h4>
<p>When your mother-in-law offers unsolicited advice either you are interested or not, Ensure you listen attentively, acknowledge that she&#8217;s your mother-in-law and thus she is well experienced. Do not in anyway show that you are the tiniest bit disinterested in whatever she says. After the conversation, thank her, let her know that you would make sure to apply the pieces of advice. As a matured married lady who wants to sustain her home, you should be able to sieve through messages, select those which is best applicable and will work for your home then discard the rest. If you go the route of challenging your mother-in-law and showing that you care less about what she says you would be on a journey of creating a rift between you both.</p>
<h4><strong>Avoid Escalating Conflict</strong></h4>
<p>Visualize scenarios which gets you irritated when your in laws are around come up with a solution before having physical contact with them. In all you do, try avoid those scenarios so as to prevent conflict. Whenever conflicts arise try talk it out with your mother-in-law and respond honestly. Avoid being rude, be firm and polite.</p>
<h4><strong>Get Friendly</strong></h4>
<p>This comes up when you are left alone with your in law in the house, once you feel the atmosphere is becoming awkward try come up with chit chats, gists and warm up to your in-laws, this will make her know you both can have a cordial relationship.</p>
<h4><strong>Recognize Progress When You See It</strong></h4>
<p>No one is perfect, always remember your mother-in-law is a human with faults. It is at times difficult for a parent to bond with her new son-or daughter-in-law. They sometime see as if they are being replaced. As soon as you notice progress in your relationship with your mother –in-law make sure you embrace it.</p>
<h4><strong>Try Understand Common Problems Between You And Your Mother-In-Law</strong></h4>
<p>Are you tired of having a strained relationship with your mother-in-law? It is safe to notice the common problems , scenarios and situations that cause conflicts between you both, try to avoid them and create an atmosphere conducive to enable that you get along.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>September 11<sup>th</sup> 1:00am</em></strong></p>
<p>I was so worried. I feared something bad must have happened to Uncle K. As I walked down the stairs trying to rap my head around what had happened to me during the night; the blood stains and aches  all over my body didn’t just happen overnight. I needed explanation to all of these.</p>
<p>The thought that something bad must have happened to Uncle K kept rushing through my mind as I checked through all the nooks and crannies of the house in search of him but I couldn’t find him. My worries heightened.</p>
<p>Suddenly I heard a sound coming from the boys quarter and so I decided to look around. Uncle K was seated by the bar in the boys quarter which used to be his favourite spot but that changed after my parents’ death.</p>
<p><em>“Omolola my little wife, you are awake. I can see you have had your bath”</em>. He said to me in a drunken state, I was surprised seeing him that way, it had been a long time I saw him drink so much.</p>
<p><em>“Uncle K can I ask you a question”</em> I asked.</p>
<p><em>“What will you like to know?”</em> He asked smiling sheepishly as he gulped down a glass of red wine. <em>“I noticed some strange things when I woke up”</em> I told him, expecting some surprise from him. Shockingly, he wasn&#8217;t. Instead, he concentrated on his red wine. Not minding his reaction, I continued with my observation letting him know that I woke up few minutes ago with pains all over my lower region and I also found blood stains on the bed sheets and on my body. Then I asked out-rightly, “<em>Uncle K, do you have any idea of what must have happened to me?”</em></p>
<p>Uncle K gave a wicked grin, he stood up and walked up to me  standing right in front of me &#8220;<em>Do you mean you do not know what happened?&#8221;</em> I was dumb founded hearing him say that. “I will give you an insight of how the night was spent”.</p>
<p><em>‘’You know as a result of the cola I gave you, you became so weak, helpless, and beautiful. I realized it was time for us to play the daddy and mummy kind of game. As I looked into your beaming eyes I couldn’t resist kissing you, I enjoyed the way I had a nice ride on you. The blood you saw on the bed sheet is as a result of the sweet ride we had last night”.</em></p>
<p>For few minutes I was dumb founded. <em>Did Uncle K just admit to raping me? The fact that he raped me, O my God! my uncle raped me! my own blood took my innocence away from me!</em> Tears started rolling down my eyes, it felt like a running tap that wouldn’t stop.</p>
<p>I expected an apology from him. I wished he could blame it on the alcohol, but no he did not. I thought I had seen the worst of it when I lost my parents. I never knew my life had just turned a disaster.</p>
<p><em>“You are now a woman and should in case you are trying to remember how this happened, you won’t be able to pin point it, cos the cola i gave you was drugged”</em>.  I started to tremble, I couldn&#8217;t fathom it.</p>
<p>My own Uncle did this to me!!</p>
<p>Uncle K didn&#8217;t mind. He didn&#8217;t care that what he did meant something to me. He destroyed my pride! My innocence!</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t help but watch him stagger to find his way into the bedroom.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having a flawless skin is every ladies dream. Naturally, no lady wants to be spotted with any imperfection on her skin. Imperfections like pimples, blackheads and open pores to a lady, is like a stain on her skin. In other to get rid of all these imperfections some go to the length of skin bleaching/lightening as a result of these acts some ladies had been left with discoloured face and body while some ladies who seem to get it right may be at the mercy of skin cancer at an older age.</p>
<p>You do not have to break the bank to purchase these skin care products before you have a flawless skin. A good skin care routine will help you achieve that flawless skin you so desire. Before you develop a skin care routine you have to know your skin type.</p>
<p>Demi Moore an American actress and model once said “I’m a big believer in that if you focus on good skin care, you really won’t need a lot of makeup”.</p>
<p>Listed below are types of skin which I believe will be helpful:</p>
<h4>Normal skin</h4>
<p>A normal skin is said to be neither tight nor oily, it display a smooth texture and a clear surface.</p>
<h4>Dry skin</h4>
<p>Dry skin feels tight and flaky especially during the harmattan season and this is as a result of lack of moisture, the skin appears dull this skin type requires serious and close attention.</p>
<h4>Oily skin</h4>
<p>This type of skin is said to be oily all over, it is shiny and thick. Oily skin is prone to blackheads and other imperfections. It is rampant more in men than in women</p>
<h4>Combination skin</h4>
<p>This skin type is very common. It is a combination of Oily, normal and dry skin. It could be dryness on the cheeks, dryness around the eyes while oily around the nose, forehead and chin.</p>
<p>When an irritation is seen on a skin maybe as a result of redness, itching, burning or dryness to the application of skin care products. The skin is said to be sensitive.</p>
<p>All skin types have a specific skin care routine, a visit to a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermatology">dermatologist</a> will help you know your skin type.</p>
<h4>How to Have a Flawless Skin</h4>
<h4>You Are What You Eat</h4>
<p>If you desire a flawless skin, you need to cultivate a healthy eating habit. Eating clean should be utmost priority that means eating more fruits, eating vegetables in place of junks. Carbonated water drink and drink more of water. So avoid toxic in your body system.</p>
<h4>Have A Skin Care Routine</h4>
<p>It is important to know the exact regimen that will work for your skin. I quite understand it might be difficult for one to stick with a routine but I will encourage you to develop one and stick by it. Make sure your routine includes not sleeping at night with your make up, try and clean it up before going to bed. Face cleaners and facial wipes should be part of your skin care product.</p>
<h4>Stop The Touchy Act</h4>
<p>I know it is quite difficult when we see some imperfections on our face, we tend to always get carried away with playing with pimples or black heads. When we do this, our face get infected with our dirty hands at the same time we spread the substance from the burst pimples to other parts of the face, leading to more pimples. My advice is do not touch stick to your skin care routine.</p>
<h4>The No Heavy Sun Therapy</h4>
<p>We can all agree that a little vitamin D from the sun does the body some good. I mean you are not a vampire who does not love to stay under the sun so I will advise you invest in some sunglasses and sun hat to prevent the sun from drying up the moisture on your face.</p>
<h4>Manage Your Stress Level</h4>
<p>Practicing stress management techniques is also important to your skin. After a hard day&#8217;s job, try inculcate a stress management technique that will help calm your nerves. Your psychological balance is very important hence it is necessary for you to engage in activities such as sports, listening to music and meditation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>13th of March 11:00pm</p>
<p>As I walked into the club in my black slinky dress, I could hear the ever buzzing IF by Davido. There were multi-coloured flashing lights on the dance floor of the club, but the lights were not bright enough to reach beyond that.<br />
“The club looks so crowded tonight”, I thought to myself. As I made my way to the bar. Dancing sweaty bodies press and rub up against me. I didn’t mind because I was enjoying the groove of the moment. Moreover it was the easiest way for me to get to the bar. So I got a spot on one of the bar stool, I ordered for a bottle of cold glass of a red claret.<br />
`Hello pretty, is this seat beside you taken?’ I raised up my head to locate where the masculine voice came from and I saw a tall light skinned man in a blue fitted suit standing beside me with smiles flashing all over his face.<br />
I told him the seat was empty and he could have his seat, I went back to what I was doing which was an eagle-eyed exploration of every corner of the club for a nice looking dude to make my trip to the club worthwhile.<br />
As he took his seat beside me, the smell of his cologne got my attention, this guy worth’s a billion dollar bucks even his cologne can testify to it, my eyes travelled down to his shoes and of cause from my evaluation of all what was on him ,I knew I had met a ‘big fish’ tonight.</p>
<p>`I’m Femi Badmus, the CEO of MOV Enterprises, am sure you must be familiar with the name, I also control the leading telecommunication firm in the country, Tigo communications, and it will be a great honour for me to know the name of this beautiful lady sitting down beside me` he said to me.</p>
<p>I rolled my eyes as I told him my name was Tracy, A 200 level student of mass communication of the prestigious university of Canford university Lagos.<br />
We got talking and I actually found him interesting. He made my day when he offered to pay for my drink, do you care to dance I asked him rolling my eyes at the same time biting my upper lips he told me he was not a dancing type, but after tilting my head sideways and showing him some of my dance moves he could not resist the urge to dance with me.<br />
I wondered why he said he was not the dancing type because he sure had some moves in him, it was getting late because we had danced all night in the club we were left alone we must have lost track of the time.</p>
<p>He suggested following me to my room so as to complete what we have started, I gladly told him that was not a problem, pay before service is what I do and 30minutes cost you 1million naira, He was shocked hearing such an outrageous amount from me I never appeared to him as a Pay as you go personnel, but I knew he had no choice than to accept my offer I could see he was already drooling the brother is already into me.<br />
Immediately we got into his car I received an alert of 2 million Naira from Femi Badmus this guy sure means business , following the text message ‘Tracy do not spend too much time with Mr Femi Badmus, you have a client for 6:00am. Make sure you deliver on time or else&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;. from K&#8217;</p>
<p>Each time I received a message from my handler it sends shivers through my spine as if I have a time bomb tied around my neck, how can I escape this time bomb.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like a speed of light, Uncle K rushed to my bed, jacked Emeka up and gave him the beating of his life. I have never seen Uncle K this furious and angry.</p>
<p>Uncle K`s eyes was filled with so much rage as he strangled Emeka. I had to let out a scream before Uncle K could leave Emeka alone. I hardly recognized my Uncle. In all the eyes I have known Uncle K, I had never seen him this angry. I was scared for Emeka’s life.</p>
<p>I sat down with tears in my eyes as I watched the police handcuff Emeka out of the house in the morning. I could not believe all the escapades that happened last night; Emeka the security guard tried taking advantage of me?</p>
<p>Questions kept coming to my mind. I continued wondering how he had access into the main house, how did he gain access into my room. The only time he is authorized to step into the house is to inform us of a visitor. His main duty is to guard the house.</p>
<p><em>`I can’t imagine what pushed him into the house, am </em><em>sure it was Efya the Ghanaian house help that gave him access into the house. I have been suspecting their closeness lately. I wish I had taken a drastic action before all this happened`,</em> Uncle K said as he tried consoling me.</p>
<p>Efya swore with her father’s grave to never letting Emeka into the house. I saw the sincerity in her eyes so I asked Uncle K to let her be because he was about to sack her. So I pleaded on her behave.</p>
<p>I was happy Emeka was not successful with his intentions, as that was all that mattered to me right there and then. Amina came visiting because she did not see me in school. I was so ashamed to tell what had happened so I lied to her. I was not feeling fine and I had to rest at home. I looked into her eyes to see if she bought my lies and I realized she was more comfortable with the lies than I had imagined.</p>
<p>04:00pm</p>
<p>Emeka was released from the police station later that afternoon. He came for his belongings and requested to have a word with me. He knelt down begging for my forgiveness and told me it was the devil’s work. He also pleaded with me to help him secure his job as our security guard.</p>
<p>Forgiveness was a luxury to dish out to Emeka as at that particular time. I also promised him I was going to have a discussion with Uncle K which I did but he refused bluntly but promised to give him money worth his salary for one year so as to enable him stand on his feet.</p>
<p>Uncle K gave Emeka the money he promised. Emeka cried like a baby; I have never seen a grown man cry this way.</p>
<p>I felt pity for him not minding I was the victim but the deed had been done, there was nothing I could do about it. This I know for sure. Whenever Uncle K makes up his mind about anything, no one can change his decision.</p>
<p>I started having series of nightmares at night and this made it difficult for me to sleep alone at night. Uncle K suggested we sleep in the same room. At first the suggestion seemed so wired, but I was left with no choice, I had to welcome the idea if it means I would be able to sleep soundly at night and no more fear of me being raped at night.</p>

We forget to pay the same level of attention to our feet. A writer once said that the feet are doorways to the soul. The feet play a major role in giving the body the support it needs. Here are a few ways to love up on your silent carriers:</p>
<p>1. <strong>Give Your Feet a Break</strong>: Don’t we all love to strut along in our beautiful 3-inch heeled sandals or shoes? It gives a spring to our steps which will not last if it is rooted in pains. Rest your feet by throwing on slippers at your desk or while moving around for a longer period of time. Heeled shoes put more pressure on the balls of the feet and leave a lasting effect that might take surgery to correct. Timing is key when it comes to making your feet feel good.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize</strong>: This cannot be over emphasized. The skin of the feet is drier than normal and can give away your age if not cared for. Moisturizing your feet with oil will keep your feet hydrated and healthy-looking. Oils like Coconut oil and olive oil should be massaged into the foot at night to help the feet rest properly.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Wash your feet</strong>: This sounds funny but a lot of ladies have been washing the feet the wrong way. Washing your feet correctly means that you pay attention to every part of the feet including the spaces between your toes. This helps to prevent athlete’s foot and other foot diseases. After washing, dry every part of your feet and rub in a generous amount of body lotion. Your feet will glow and look good in your shoes when you do this.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Use a Plaster</strong>: A plaster is not only for covering wounds, it can also prevent wounds. Wearing leather shoes can leave your feet battered and bruised. This is due to the constant rubbing that takes place. Placing a plaster on the spot prone to blisters will keep your feet clean. You can also tape your third and fourth toes together to reduce the pressure and boost support in your beloved high heels.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Switch Your Shoes</strong>: We sweat on our feet and the moisture takes a while to dry. Wearing a particular pair of shoes all week does not only wreck your shoes, it also provides a perfect breeding ground for fungi and bacteria which will end up on your feet. Wearing a different pair of shoes every day does not only help your feet rest, it also gives your shoes time to dry properly. Airing your shoes leave them smelling good.</p>
<p>6. <strong>Choose a Perfect Fi</strong>t: Wearing tight shoes is a no-no. Tight fitting shoes will leave your feet disfigured and also promote toe bunions growing on them. Take out time to shop for your correct shoe size by visiting the shoe store in the afternoon or evening when your feet are tired and swollen. This will help you choose a size that will give your feet room to breathe and also accommodate the eventual swelling that comes with walking around.</p>
<p>7. <strong>Do a Pedicur</strong>e: I can almost hear the heavenly sounds of violins for this one. There is no better way to pamper your feet than to give it a befitting soak in warm water and oil. You can leave out the Epsom salt as it has drying qualities. Remember to remove your old nail polish before soaking your feet. After the soak, dry your feet and moisturize. Cut and file the nails carefully. Use a pumice stone to get dead cells off the under of your feet. Then get out your favourite nail polish and coat your nails. Your feet will thank you.</p>
<p>Now you have a beauty routine to keep your feet happy. Try it today and watch your feet become more beautiful. Remember, your feet are as lovely as the treatment they get. Enjoy!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As ladies, we always want to look good. It goes without saying that makeup looks better on good and blemish-free skin. There are a few actions that can cause damage in the long run. If you want to stay beautiful with or without makeup, you need to avoid making the following mistakes:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Wearing The Wrong Colour</strong>: A lot of us have old pictures we would not want le-boo to see because the powder applied was a wrong shade. Choosing your powder or foundation shade on impulse is a no-no. You risk looking like a clown or becoming an object of ridicule wherever you go. To choose the right colour for your skin tone, visit a proper makeup store/experience centre to get advice from qualified makeup artists. This will only cost you the price of the powder/foundation which you will purchase while getting a fantastic makeover for free.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="2">
<li><strong>Sharing Makeup Products</strong>: Sisterhood is often characterized by love and love is nothing without sharing. Unfortunately, sharing the wrong things can have long-lasting effects. Exchanging makeup products is not advisable because of the difference in skin types and sensitivity. Using a friend’s makeup can expose you to skin infections and breakouts.A certain young lady got a flesh-eating disease from using a friend’s makeup brush.Share the right things and stay healthy.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="3">
<li><strong>Using Expired Products</strong>: A lot of us have old lipsticks, glosses and eyeshadows we can’t let go of. These beloved items look new, hold great memories but are harmful to your health. Every standard makeup product has a PAO symbol (the Period After Opening symbol). This symbol tells us how long the makeup product can last after it is unsealed.It usually has a number followed by ‘m’ (12m) which simply means that the product should be used within 12 months of opening. Using your makeup after its PAO date can leave you with horrible acne/eczema. Replace your makeup products from time to time and watch your skin thank you.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="4">
<li><strong>Sleeping With Makeup On: </strong>After a long day at work, taking a bath is the last thing we want to do. We just want to fall into our beds and rest our tired muscles. No matter how much you are tempted to fall into bed with makeup and all, take some minutes to wash that makeup off your face. The skin is a living thing, not only an artist’s canvas. Stripping the carefully applied layers of makeup off your face will help your skin breathe. You also get to sleep well while leaving your bed sheet clean. Makeup contains certain ingredients that can leave your skin inflamed if left on for long hours. Do the right thing, make your skin happy tonight.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="5">
<li><strong>Applying Too Much Contour:</strong>Contour helps re-frame your face while playing up different angles to give you a more refined look. In spite of the good it does, it should only be used sparingly. This is because the dramatic change in facial structure requires little product, applying too much will only distort your facial features. Cameras are not forgiving of such errors and you might end up deleting most (if not all) of the good photos from your outing.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="6">
<li><strong>Shaving off your eyebrows</strong>: Have you ever considered shaving off your eyebrows in order to save time and energy? As attractive as the thought is,it is a mistake that will take slow and painful months to correct. You can trim your eyebrows with a trimmer from time to time (if you know how it is done) or have a makeup artist help you out every two-three months. After trimming, fill in your brows lightly with a pencil or eyebrow powder to give your brows a soft and natural look.</li>
<li><strong>Not Washing Your Brushes</strong>: The brushes/applicators are tools used to apply makeup products on the face. We forget to clean these brushes for months unending that is, if we ever clean them. The moisture these brushes absorb makes it the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, germs and everything bad. This is why a lot of ladies end up with uneven skin tone, boils, breakouts and stiff brushes. Clean the brushes with baby wipes after usage to prolong the shelf life and remove left over products. Make out time to wash your brushes with baby shampoo and warm water twice a month to keep them clean and germ-free. Get the best out of your little tools, wash your brushes today!</li>
</ol>
<p>Ladies, now you know what you have been doing wrong. Step up your makeup game by righting these wrongs and watch yourself become the diva you want to be.</p>
