At home pampering: pampering yourself can improve your overall health in significant ways.

Pampering yourself is not only a terrific way to recharge and revitalize, but it's also a necessary element of remaining physically and mentally fit. below are my recipe for making at-home pampering very easy. indulge yourself ...you deserve it.

HONEY

Honey has a number of health benefits for the face. Raw honey is high in components that are good for your skin, especially if you suffer from acne or autoimmune skin disorders like eczema or psoriasis. Applying honey to your skin can even help you control Candida overgrowth.

EGG YOLK

Egg yolks are also desired because they can help with skin issues like as acne; especially, the retinol content controls oil production in the face, which can clog pores and lead to pimples. Egg yolks can assist to cleanse the skin and prevent acne by removing excess oil.

COFFE

According to Beverly Hills MD Cosmeceuticals, coffee can also help with chronic dark circles beneath the eyes. This is because coffee's caffeine is known to help dilate blood vessels, which can cause dark circles.

TUMERIC

Turmeric offers a variety of skin advantages and is found in a variety of beauty products, including It has anti-inflammatory effects that help to reduce inflammation, discoloration, and blemishes on the skin. It contains antimicrobial characteristics that aid in acne reduction, particularly when combined with other organic products.

Mix ingredients to make a firm paste that will stick to your face. Apply the mask evenly all over your face and under the eyes, Let the mask dry on your face. This means leaving it on for about 20 minutes and then washing it off with cool water. Dry your face gently with a cloth and apply your face moisturizer.

Plus size and fabulous: Embrace your beautiful curves with pride and accentuate them.

Plus size body comes in different sizes and shapes. one major thing we have to understand is that all the different shapes and sizes are beautiful and unique in their way. Wearing clothes that make you look fab and stylish might take a bit of courage, however,  over the years I have learned how to style my plus-size body and appreciate the uniqueness of being plus-size. being plus size does not mean you do not have to look stylish. learning the trick to style your body type might be a little bit of help.

My number one rule is don't hide the curves, wear clothes that flatter to create a waistline, use accessories like a statement belt, brooches, or a scarf to create a waistline. If you have a natural waist, draw attention to it. If you don't have much of a waist, it is nothing to worry about, use accessories like a statement belt to cinch in the waist, wear a dress or skirt to show off some leg.

When it comes to styling, high-waisted pants and skirts can be flattering. It allows you to regain control of your waistline while also providing a slight lift. High-waisted jeans are also a winner.

As a plus-size woman, I prefer black attire because it makes me appear slimmer. However, it's critical to add color to our style. Wearing colors that are in tune with your inner vibration can make you feel more energetic, and certain colors can even make you sparkle all day. So let's put the dark colors clothing aside and add some color to our style. Before I felt comfortable wearing colors, I experimented with adding a pop of color, little at a time to my outfit/style to see how it went. hope this helps

FABULOUS INTERIOR DECOR IDEAS FOR INSTANT GLAMOUR.

The first step toward making our space look good can be to get rid of junk. More than we might think, the appearance of our home affects our life in many ways. It impacts our happiness, our self-confidence, and our mental health. Decorating can be stressful and costly, which is why some people do not do it.

 Making small changes to the colours and layout of our décor can bring positive feelings to our space.

A bare wall might evoke feelings of loneliness, while a mirror on our wall can give the room a sense of spaciousness. If we have too many decorations, our home can appear cluttered, and this can be anxiety-inducing. When we decide to redecorate our home and start choosing home décor items, we will find that we might need to get rid of quite a bit of unnecessary junk, not just to make room but also to help our home look and feel more beautiful. Adding colour to our home will add excitement and promote a positive atmosphere. below are tips you might like. Many thanks for reading my blog

How i make my chocolate cake .... Check back for my recipe

it was a lazy Friday and so we baked to make it kinda fun.

Why having good sleep is important for health.

Lack of sleep can have numerous effects, such as feeling grumpy and not working at your best. You may not know it, but lack of sleep has a profound impact on your physical health as well? Poor sleep might affect us, with stress, computers, and taking work home  often to blame.

Sleepless nights come at a price, however, that goes beyond poor moods and a lack of focus. The lack of sleep you experience regularly puts you at risk for serious medical conditions, including obesity, coronary heart disease, and diabetes. In order to live a long and healthy life, it is essential to get a good night's sleep.

The bedroom setting is crucial to getting a good night's sleep. As part of sleep hygiene, establishing an environment conducive to falling asleep and staying asleep is important, which can ensure quality rest night after night. Visual design and practical setup, including lighting, sound, and smell, are all essential in creating a relaxing atmosphere for sleep. Your ideal sleep space can be cultivated if you take into consideration these elements.

Getting proper support and comfort from your mattress will keep your spine in alignment and prevent pressure points from getting aggravated. this might prevent waking up with a cracking sound in your neck the following day. 

For your body to feel comfortable, the perfect mattress should provide enough cushion and softness. Several factors can affect sleep quality, including weight, sleeping style, and position.

My thought of the day: “Gratitude will shift you to a higher frequency, and you will attract much better things.” – Rhonda Byrne

Style Note : “Dressing for success is not only wearing something well but making sure it is appropriate for the environment.

“Do you feel at ease in your own skin, smart, confident, or powerful in your clothes?” our outfit reflects our personality and demonstrates our professionalism in both career and life. A further explanation why dressing appropriately for work is crucial is that you want to be seen as a professional than someone who just dresses in sportswear. As a result, it's critical that you dress appropriately for the event. When someone does not take pride in their looks, it is difficult to take them seriously.

Colors have a significant influence on our daily lives. They have an effect on how we think, how we make decisions, and how we feel. Colors have more force than we realize, from generating changes to affecting reactions. They can be utilized as both goods or bad, according to our beliefs. However, we all have the  capacity to accept some hues while rejecting others.“One of the most significant and distinguishing aspects of boosting your image is color. Wearing colors that complement your demeanor, attitude, skin color, hair color, and body shape will make you look younger, more lively, and friendly.”

“The very first thing others observe about you is your true self, not your credentials, background, or accomplishments. An image is worth a thousand words, and the way you show yourself is the “picture” you present to the rest of the world.”

It's not all about wearing designer labels or wearing clothes that express your individuality; it's about feeling confident about yourself and wearing the clothes that express your personal style."Fashion is not necessarily about labels. It's not about brands. It's about something else that comes from within you." -- Ralph Lauren

An effective career development plan enables you to achieve your goals.

Putting together a career development plan is one of the most important things you can do to excel in life and advance in your chosen field. Your career should be led in a clear direction that you are comfortable with. The career planning process is an essential step for your success and not something you should skip.

An effective career development plan enables you to achieve your goals. We all have certain goals in life, as well as specific levels we would like to attain. As a part of the career planning process, you develop specific career goals and figure out how to accomplish them. Identify your priorities if you want to accomplish that. Depending on your level of knowledge, you may or may not be sure what you are searching for in your career - a career coach will ask powerful questions that will reveal what you are seeking. An extensive career assessment will help you identify your key strengths and determine how they link to your career goals. Following the identification of your strengths, you can determine your next steps. Goals are the first step in determining the next steps.

Defining your purpose and passions as part of identifying your career path is important. But why? Most people have a dream of finding a career they like and enjoy, but they stumble along the way. Their different career aspirations simply result from reacting rather than planning. Even when they know a job is not what they are looking for, they apply for the position and take it. You can avoid career mismatches by making a clear plan and having clear ideas about what you want. By identifying your interests, strengths, and passions, you can identify the right field for you. If you set goals and understand how you'll reach them, find something you love, and find the balance between work and play, you'll reach an unprecedented level of happiness. Develop a career development plan to set you on the path to success. It's possible.

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022 …. I WISH YOU THE VERY BEST.

Shopping: Are you seduced by the sales everywhere? Checkout my rules for shopping effectively.

Shopping for a new piece of fashion item is like embarking on a new relationship.
We all love shopping for something new in other to update our look and sometimes we end up shopping  for items that we do not really need. want or like , in other to get it right, it is important to take a look at what you've got and analyse which item you wear more often and why . if your wardrobe is filled with dresses, you're getting a pretty clear message, it might be pointless buying a trousers because you may not wear it, if you have bought red colour clothing before and somehow it has lain unworn, in your wardrobe, then don't buy it again, always look at what item you have and what you do not have in other to shop effectively.

It is vital to buy the right size when shopping, make your own decisions and do not believe the strangers , instead take someone with you whose opinion you trust. It is important to try on the item before you buy, also do not be seduced by the sales into buying items you don’t need. Have a lovely shopping spree lol
