Healthy Food For Glowing Skin

Hi lovelies, Here are some of my current favourite food items. Healthy diet is essential for healthy looking skin. Food rich in omega 3 would help you achieve a glowing skin. Cooking from scratch is healthier, buy your own vegetables from the supermarket and prepare fresh meals everyday. Drinking lots of water and good night rest helps you to achieve lovely skin as well. Please do avoid ingesting too much carbohydrate rather consume meals with high protein content such as fish, milk, egg and lean meat.

Little carbohydrate and lots of fruits and vegetables would help you achieve a healthier looking skin. Too much sugar intake is bad for your health. if you can, abstain from high volume of alcohol intake and smoking. Consuming good healthy food will make you look more trimmed, healthy and keep you fit. Exercise is an essential way to tone your muscle, induces excretion and helps you look and feel better. You may want to wash your self at least twice everyday use face mask, facial scrub, day and night cream for your skin treatment as well. Please find below a video with my skin care routine. Kindly share with me your skin care regime, I do love to learn from you .

By the way, Whether you are big, small fabulous, I still do love you just the way you are!

I hope you are inspired!

Feel Good Therapy For Winter!!!

Hi lovelies, I hope you all are doing well. As a certified beauty consultant and biochemist, I learnt alot during my study years on some cool tips on how to feel good especially during the winter period, whereby the weather seems to be cold all the time. These are some tips for you:

Drink lots of flavoured thee, soup, my favourite soup are fish soup, tomato, lentil soup.
Dance dance dance or go for a walk. Taking a long walk or cycling can be very helpful. you tend to receive fresh air and experience beautiful nature.
Do your manicure, pedicure, makeup, wash , clean your self and be ready for the day even if you do not have anywhere to visit
Hang out and spend some quality times with friends and family.
Buy your self a present. You do not wait until you receive a present from someone, you may give your self a nice flower or perfume.
If you live in a cold (winter) country like the Netherlands, Belgium, you may want to visit a Sunny country such as the Maldives, Seychelles for holidays
Pamper your self, visit a spa for massage, pampering, if you have enough money go on vacation to a nearby holiday homes, luxirious hotel etc
If you are really bored and do not have much to do, start a class, you may start to tke a laguage lesson, beauty classes etc

I hope these tips were helpful!

p.s. I am not a medical doctor, these are just tips i use my self and has helped me alot to pep up my moods. If you are feeling very sad, depressed and experiencing some anxiety attack, I do advice you to see your doctor.

I love you

xoxoxo

I just want to use this medium to say a big congratulations to my little sister for the birth of your newborn baby! I love you both so much.

And also a big congratulations to my older son for acquiring your b diploma for swimming. I am so so proud of you.

my lovely sister and her son!

Having a positive mindset can improve your mood, I was watching t.v. the other day, a lady with terminal cancer was being coached by her doctor on how to overcome the anxiety she felt as a result of her ailment, the doctor advised her to pretend as if she is perfectly fine (live in denial), she should never think about the fact that she has cancer and would die in few year, the lady admitted that denial helped her to overcome depression, anxiety and sadness her ailment caused her. She felt better and was more positive. These are some more tips that would help you feel better.

Celebrate even your smallest success. Keep a journal, write down 3 things each day that you are grateful for or went really well.

Speak positively and in the present tense – instead of ‘I want to be happy’, change it to ‘I am happy’.

Know that you can choose your thoughts. Train your mind to focus on the good in your life.

How To Clean Your Living Space Fast!

Hey beauties! I hope you all are happy and bubbling! My advice for you today is to try to be grateful for every single day and for all the beautiful things in life you have today, be thankful to God. Cleaning is one of my favourite thing in the world. I used to live in a very big house with over 5 rooms, sometimes I do spend 4 hours everyday cleaning and organizing. Its very ok to have a tidy environment, for me it calms me down. Some cool easy tips for you to make cleaning fun. I have also done some house keeping in some 5 star hotels in The Netherlands and vocational homes.

Turn on the music.
Vacuum the whole house first, also the bed needs to be vacuumed, afterwards, make your bed properly.
Mop the floor, add some cleaning agents in the water before mopping to give the whole house a nice scent.
Do not forget the toilet, bathtub, mirrors use special cleaning agent for these.
Use air fresher from Breeze or Rituals.
Dust the whole cupboard,windows, doors etc.
Garden your garden.
Last but not the least, rearrange your wardrobe at least once a week, organize it . Have fun and enjoy your tidy sparkling environment.

Personally, I enjoy sleeping on a clean bed linen. I sleep better and also it helps to prevent skin problems such as pimples and acne when you use clean bedspread, towels and wear clean cloths daily. I hope these tips were helpful!

I love you so much!

xoxo

How to Dress Cute During Winter!

Hello muffins! Happy new month! Yes, its almost Christmas, it might snow next month. It is very cold and chilly nowadays. In order to keep your self warm and look pretty this season, these are my tips for you below, enjoy!

Balance a warm, leather coat streamlined leggings that make your legs look slim.
On the other hand, if you’re wearing boots, wear a tailored jacket up top.
Find a sweater that stays close to your body and falls below the knee. Its streamlined silhouette is a practical way to look chic and elegant.
Use different fabrics for winter style with an edge. While it might not keep you warm, a hint of lace or velvet color adds a touch of femininity to traditional sweater fabrics: think a lace short skirt and a wool sweater. Primark has really nice outfits at affordable prices.

Don’t be afraid to play with color. Sure, black on black on black matches, but what about different tones of pink or white. If you an African like me, you may want to add a touch of African prints to your outfit, as a scarf Vlisco has awesome African materials.

Hats helps to keep your head warm, River island shop has some cool accessories for winter such as hat, gloves and scarfs.

I hope you are inspired!

Please share with me your winter looks! I do love to hear from you. New awesome stylish facebook post here
