BRIEFLY ON BLACKBERRY BROADCASTS

Its my blog so ill write whatever I please, right ? Hmmm so here goes : well we all have blackberries now and well, seeing as we pay an extra fee in order to enjoy the special services that are available only to users of the device, however small, its understandable that we would like to send broadcasts ,surest and fastest way to share something with all or most of your blackberry contacts.
  Thus because its so fast and time-saving and caters to a large number of needs, its the surest most annoyingly used feature on the blackberry device, actually revealing the iq level of those who use it. Yes. I said IQ.
Anyways my simple point is that you do not have to send stupid broadcasts all the time. There's this saying :

'Better to shut your mouth and be thought stupid, than open it and completely remove all doubt'

Same goes for bcs. Better not to type or forward the one you have received and be thought stupid, than to type or forward, and completely remove all doubt.

Send them when it will be useful. Maybe for traffic updates, or job or contract openings(in which case it'd be nicer to take the pain to select only a group of people),or to warn and inform or something drastic such as a fire, accident or robbery(which you have confirmed by the way).

You can also send if you need help promoting your business, particularly with marketing and sales. But abeg not daily. Not even weekly.

Please do not write : BROADCAST THIS TO TEN PEOPLE OR ELSE YOU WILL BE STRUCK BY LEPROSY. Matter of fact, if anyone sends a message ending with a threat of something bad happening in the event that you dont forward it, thank God for revealing this before the person gets you in bigger trouble and delete the person INSTANTER !!!!

Do your best to limit the greetings to festive days/periods. Theres no need to wish everybody 'Happy New Week' every single week. It just makes you seem idle and possibly bored.

Oh and during the RIM brouhaha people actually said bbs will be deactivated if some broadcasts weren't forwarded i.e they believe that payment of BIS and use of the phone is not enough. In order to save the phone, you have to send everyone a message to change dp so their phones can keep working. Hian !!!This is a fundamental issue, way more serious than bb abuse. I wee treat it in another post.

Nuff said for now.

HARMATTAN AND YOUR HAIR.


I can understand this article looking stupid. Im sorry. I wrote it in December and just somehow didnt post it. You can wait till December to come and read it. Or you can hiss and use some words you cant say to my face and scroll on.

Its that time of the year where the whole air is full of dust and your throat feels sore and uncomfortable. At this time, we usually make sure we keep our skin and lips well moisturised to avoid flaking and cracking. But what do you do about your hair?
We all talk about how the weather affects our hair but do we really do anything to reduce the effects on our hair   ? Well you need to start doing something, seeing as there will be many outings and parties this season, and you don’t want to show up looking scary.
During this season, the sun strips the hair of its natural oils, and dry heat increases this effect.
In dealing with your hair this season, whether it be choosing hairstyles or maintaining the one you are already wearing, you would do well to bear the following tips in mind:
1.      Make sure you choose a moisturising shampoo, even if you do not normally use one. Also very many conditioners come with Uv protection. You might just look out for this on the bottle before you buy. Since the weather is dry, your scalp is dry too and it would need extra moisture.
2.      Keep your hair extensions clean and well oiled too.
3.      When combing either your hair or your extensions, start with your fingers, then a big comb, before a smaller one. Starting with a small one can pull and damage your already dry and brittle scalp.
4.      Avoid using too much heat, meaning less blow dryers or curling or flat irons. If you cant avoid it, protect your tresses by using a good leave in conditioner as well as protective heat serum or spray.
5.      If you have brittle hair, try to avoid hairstyles such as ponytail which would require you leaving out natural hair that you have to keep combing as your hair may fall out especially since it may tangle and get rougher due to the weather.
6.      When it comes to exfoliating, you may need to reduce your use of  your facial scrub as over-scrubbing could damage your skin, leaving it feeling rough and hard.
7.      When it comes to braids, we all agree they make us beautiful, just as we agree they result in massive hair loss. If your scalp is fragile and sensitive, this is the wrong time to braid. If you must, do avoid tiny ‘one million braids’. It is better to wear big braids. Also you might want to consider the ‘brush’ style which seems to be the braiding trend now. With the brush, the stylist doesn’t have to pick the tiny strands along the line of your forehead thus eliminating the risk of losing your hair.
8.      You should wash out your hair after swimming, as chlorine from the swimming pool can damage it when combined with the effect of the sun. Even if you are on vacation and you are swimming at sea or the beach, the salt can also damage your hair.
9.      Be careful not to over wash, as this could also over dry the hair.
10.  Use a soft brush. A hard one might seem easier and faster, but it leaves your scalp weak and your hair brittle.
Remember that dryness simply means you will need more moisture. Make sure you have good quality hair oil and sprays for extra sheen for whatever hair you wear, whether low or long, natural, braided or human. Our hair is our crowning glory and we should keep it looking nice and beautiful, regardless of the weather.
Stay moisturised and pretty !

FOUR EASY TO FIND FRUITS THAT WILL DO WONDERS FOR YOUR SKIN.



We all know fruits. We know they are healthy and easy to find. We know they do a lot of good to our bodies. We know they are easy to eat and dont require cooking or long processing. We know that we are advised to eat them rather than junk and in fact a lot of the time, we take fruits to reduce our subsequent food intake, as well as to regulate our bowel movements. Me I'm a little vain o so I'd like to look at them another way.
One aspect of benefits we usually dont place emphasis on is the use of fruits on our skin as a safer as well as cheaper alternative to all our scrubs, masks and other shockingly harmful chemicals we apply on our skins.
Besides the fact that they hydrate and rejuvenate your skin, the very smell of a fruit on your face is quite de-stressing. Here are the four most popular fruits in Nigeria and how they can help you look ten years younger !
1. ORANGES
A single orange gives you almost a full day's vitamin C, which is known to improve skin texture and color, plus potassium. Oranges are rich in vitamin C that improves skin texture. Oranges contain collagen that slows skin aging process. You can rub the insides of the orange on your skin to tighten the skin. Oranges can also be dried and powdered and used as a natural scrub. Like lemon, oranges too help clear skin blemishes. The orange belongs to the citrus family and is best known for its astringent and toning properties. They help restore collagen in the body which is responsible for skin firming and preventing early aging of skin.
After eating orange, instead of throwing away the peels, dry them in sun and grind them. Store the mixture and you could use it as a body scrub from time to time.
If you have extra time to spare, mix the scrub with milk once in a while and apply on your face for about 20 minutes. It gives an instant glow to your face. It also reduces the dark spots and blemishes on your skin.
Another way to use it is to simply pour boiling water on the peels and leave for a day. Next day, filter the liquid and store it in fridge. Apply the liquid on your face using a cotton ball. Let stay till it dries up. Your face will be firm and glowing. You could also pour this liquid in your bath water and enjoy a refreshing and rejuvenating bath. Your skin will smell fresh all day.
Finally, take the juice of 2 oranges and freeze in an ice tray. Rub your face with frozen orange juice cubes. It will instantly freshen you up and lift up the tiredness from your face. In addition, the chilled ice cubes will close and minimize the size of your pores. This also provides relief to acne prone skin and pimples.
2. PAWPAW/PAPAYA
Papayas also provide a lot of vitamin C and is rich in antioxidants and contains a special enzyme called papain that can kill dead cells and cure skin impurities. A glass of papaya milk or just applying the flesh of papaya on your skin can do wonders to your skin. Rub the Papaya peel on your face after eating the papaya. Let it stay for no more than 5 minutes and wash off with cold water. AHA's (alpha-hydroxy acids), which are the most coveted ingredients of today for their anti-aging properties, are in abundance in Papaya which makes it an acidic fruit. Therefore you should note that if you apply Papaya for too long, it would cause dryness and possibly irritation of your skin.
Papaya is a great skin-firming and anti-aging mask. Simply mash  uneaten Papaya with or without milk and apply on your face. It helps in removing blemishes, dark spots, evens out your skin tone and brings a glow to your face.
Papaya is also, a natural exfoliator.  You will observe several facial scrubs have some papaya.
Mix mashed Papaya with honey for a hydrating skin mask.
Papaya fruit pulp and the dry latex is the basic component of various creams, scrubs and shampoos. Intake of papaya reduces the effect of stress on the skin. The enzyme papain acts as an exfoliative agent and removes dead cells as well as lifts away dry skin. It also contains anti-oxidants which reduce aging and make you look young again.
3. APPLES
We are all familiar with the phrase : ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away’ . Did you also know  an apple a day keeps you glowing all the way ?
Regular intake of Apple reduces wrinkles and fine lines
Is a great anti-aging mask due to its high content of anti-oxidants
Place slices of Apple under your eyes to reduce dark circles or puffy eyes
Mash a quarter of an apple with milk and apply on your face to remove blemishes and dark spots. It is a great remedy for acne.
Cut a slice of an apple and apply the juice on your face until the slice dries up. It balances the oil production in your body and is a great hydrating mask.
Apple provides relief from sunburn due to its cooling properties. Place a slice of Apple in the fridge for an hour or so and then, apply on sun-burnt skin to get relief.
Apple not only provides hydration to the skin, but, also cleanses.
Mix a grated apple with honey and apply on your face for five minutes for a hydrated, stress free skin.
4. BANANAS
Bananas are rich in Vitamin A, B and E and hence work as an anti-aging agent. A fresh mashed banana facial can leave your skin feeling smooth and supple. All you need to do is mash a ripe banana and mix with a spoonful of honey. You could do with or without a small teaspoon of powdered milk. Apply to a washed face and leave for 20 to 30 minutes, then wash off with lukewarm water.You could also mix with olive or coconut oil for moisture.
Even the peel contains antioxidants that can also be us to treat allergies, bruises and mosquito bites as well as well as to cure acne and wrinkles.
As mentioned earlier, unlike the chemical beauty treatments, fruits are cost-effective, natural and also bring a visible difference. Try them today !
