Makeup can only conceal flaws for a while but eating the right food would clear off those imperfections on the skin naturally without any reaction. They say the eye is the window into the soul; but our face is one of the colossal indicators of what is going on with our bodies when it comes to nutritional deficiencies, stress or hormonal disruptions.

Hello lovelies, how are we doing? Below are a few makeup mistakes we make daily and most of us thought we looked fabulous. I hope this fix our makeup mistakes so we never walk out of the house with bad makeup again. - OVER TRIMMING OR GROOMING YOUR BROWS Its ideal to tame overgrown brows because well groomed brows can enhance your entire look and most importantly, your eyes but note that as we get older our brows naturally become sparser. So, if you groom your brows too thin all the time, they might never grow back fully again. Just trim around your brows; undergrowth and follow the arch for best result. - SCULPTING YOUR FACE WITH CONTOUR We all love a chiseled cheek bones and ski-slope nose but contouring is best left for professionals and it's basically for photography or film. Focus on creating pretty, subtle makeup. - USING OVERLY DARK BROW PENCILS It's better to fill your brows with a color that matches your natural brow hair color. A better option

Today, the world feels there must be something wrong, if you stay alone or enjoy staying alone. I don't think so! It just means you are an introvert and there's nothing wrong with that. Not everyone likes to chitchat every now and then and that's when an ambivert comes in. An ambivert is one who has both an introvert and an extrovert personality. They can be boisterous and at the same time, they enjoy being alone like going to the movies solo. If you are an ambivert, welcome to the club. I get that a lot of people do not understand you most times.

According to the Bible verse in  2 Corinthians 12:10; when you are insulted, persecuted, hated for no reason, it makes you strong and there is always a lesson to learn from every adversity. Paul took pleasure in his weaknesses, in the insults howled at him because he believed that Christ's power rests on him to overcome and triumph. The power of Christ is available to make every weakness perfect and his grace abounds forever for when you are weak, then you are strong. We all have that one or two persons in our life we see as our enemy or maybe ''haters'' like we call it now. But do you know they are our friends in disguise? God uses them to hew us through our character and response to their gimmicks.  When you are insulted, you can retaliate with a pricking revenge or learn something and see it as a growth opportunity. In the book of Psalm 119:71, David admitted that it is good for him to be afflicted so that he might learn God's mandate. In other

The Hausa are one of the most congested ethnic groups in Africa. They are heterogeneous in nature but culturally homogeneous people. They reside mostly in the Northern part of the country known to them as ''Arewa'' which is translated as Northern Nigeria. They are primarily Muslims while few are Christians.
