Little Monsters bid N2Million for Gaga's used Fingernail

Lady Gaga's used fingernail was up for auction and the bidding was up to $13,000; thats about N2Million in Nigerian money. You'd think "that's such a waste of money on some acrylic nails" but what do you call $13,000 for just one fingernail?

Foods that Improve Sex Drive



Do you want that memorable, steamy sex all your friends talk about? Then ditch the saturated fats from meats and sugars for fruits especially carrots. Carrots are popularly known for enhancing the libido (sex drive)

It is quite dreamy to have rose petals on your bed, romantic candle lights, some Marvin Gaye track playing in the background, chocolates and a bottle of wine as you get ready to ravish your partner the way we see it on tv but the sugar from the chocolate will do the exact opposite as the body tries to cleanse itself from toxins instead of providing your body with some action.. for food that provide better sex, read more.

Style Inspiration: The church outfit


Your Sunday style doesn't have to be the regular traditional outfits or the suit dresses. We obviously want to look our best yet church appropriate, so I recommend matching a colored vest with your best fitting blazer over a white pant. Remember to keep it classy always.

New Video Review: We Cant Stop-Miley Cyrus



Some critics have quickly attacked Miley Cyrus for singing about "Ecstacy", being over the top sexed up, flaunting her slim, hot bod and trying too hard to shed her Disney image in her new We Cant Stop video.
Apparently, the song was originally written for Rihanna but she already had a similar song, Diamonds.. so yeah... Miley came into the picture.


I absolutely love love the look and feel of the video, I think it is very crisp and tasteful (even after all the bed rocking and over shaking of the goodies). Yah! having said that, I dont care much about the back story of the lyrics, it sounded good...das all.... "it is our party we can do what we want, we can kiss who we want, we can see who we want" If it was my party, i'd kuku do more.


"To my home girls here with the big butts, shaking it like we at a strip club, remember only God can judge us, forget the haters cause somebody loves ya"

This is my newest jam right there. Her all white outfit with the jungle red lips, pixie blonde hair and the bad girl dont care attitude.... may be over the top but the focus here is her style which i already love. leave your comments if you feel "pained" like some people do about this video.

Style Inspiration: The Black and White Look


Black and whites are so easy to style. To stay timeless, casual and understated, yet trendy and classy, throw some black and white pieces on.


This should be the easiest thing ever with everyone owning a white t-shirt and black pants. Style this further with a blazer and accessories. Remember to keep it classy.... Less is definitely more.

Trend Alert: The power of contouring


Now that you know your face shape it is time to shine like a star; click HERE for my previous post if you don't already know.
you can achieve the contoured look without much make up and this is how to do it.

First, you need to know that the idea behind contouring is to use darker shades to take attention away from some areas and lighter shades to highlight others. This is necessary to achieve symmetry so if you have a round face, you'll need to contour the round areas and highlight the high parts of your face like the nose, cheekbones and jaw.
you need the following:
  • A foundation/concealer that matches your skin tone
  • A foundation/concealer that is 2 shades darker and another 2 shades lighter than your tone
  • An eye shadow that matches your tone and another that is 2 shades lighter than your tone
  • An eyeliner
  • Blush 
  • Nude lip stick

Understand your facial structure

Determining the shape of your face should be the easiest thing ever. This is necessary for getting the right make up on and helping you determine the hairstyles that suits you best and complements your bone structures.


If this image doesn't help much, stand in front of a mirror, pull your hair back and use a chalk to draw out the lines of your face starting where your hairline begins, pull downwards to the arc of  your ear, to your chin and back to your hair line.

You should look like this picture on the right.

Now fall back to the multiple pictures to determine your shape.



Here are some famous faces with your similar shape:

The Natural Hair Phenomenon


The natural hair Phenomenon


 Apparently, natural hair is the new sexy so it’s time to put a rest on those weaves. If you have heard anyone say that a black person’s hair does not grow beyond shoulder length? Guess what?? They lied. 

Because our hair is naturally coily/curly and shrinks at any opportunity it gets, we miss the length in the bulkiness so we opt for relaxers. 

If you like your hair relaxed, I’m not going to advise you to chop it all off to grow it naturally but you should know relaxers thin your hair out and as you comb/brush, your hair breaks, literally. as I like to feel like a problem solver, here’s my way to a healthier hair.

I drink Green tea almost all the time without sugar and honestly, it tastes bitter to the last drop but it does more good (an antioxidant) I’m starting to sound like a pro now… you can drink it or add to your shampoo, lotion or any other hair care products for stronger protection to your follicles. Yes I said so!
Potato or the water that is left after potato boiling also increases natural hair growth process. Let it cool and rinse your hair, after wash hair with your shampoo. It doesn’t sound sexy but it works.
Mix an egg with olive oil and apply the derived mixture to your hair. Wrap up with a towel or tight polytene bag and leave for an hour. wash off and apply hair conditioner. Repeat the procedure after two weeks if you like. I wanted to steam my one time and my hairdresser charged me just for this… Chei!, she added milk though.

So eat iron-rich foods like green vegetables, cashews, dried fruits, figs, and berries Also get enough essential fatty acids from walnuts, flaxseeds, fish and avocados are also important for healthy hair.
 
Oh! And water solves almost any problem.
