Weekend workout report- I'm currently underweight...



Hi Beauties! It's a rainy Saturday in this part of the world, but I'm doing great. How you doing?

I know we haven't done this in a while, but hey! There's no harm in sharing our workout reports and achievements here. I'm gonna start with mine. Yesterday I discovered that I've been underweight for some time now and I was quite sad.

I've always struggled with weight gain because my lifestyle makes me burn loads of calories, but before now my BMI was stable for a long time.  My ideal weight is 54kg, but as I write this I currently weigh less than 52kg.

Hello Beauties! Forgive my AWOLness, my work on set of Emerald TV drama series has made my schedule really tight, but it's quite flexible now. Today's post is on dry skin in fulfillment of a blog reader's request.

Dry skin isn't considered the ultimate skin type by most ladies and this is no thanks to its characterisation that includes dullness and flakiness.

Factors that contribute to dry skin include; harmattan , winter, genes and even nutritional deficiencies, but managing this skin type can be easy with natural home remedies that are cheap but effective.

Let's checkout some natural home remedies that nourish and hydrate dry skin.

Loser baby daddies: Why are some baby daddies irresponsible?



" ...I've just had loads of issues o. My babydaddy won't help with child support... In fact since I gave birth to her he's only seen her on my DP. He hasn't spent a kobo on her, yet he's been threatening to take her away from me. I've known him for 13 years and we dated for a long time, but I never expected him to behave this way...." - Anonymous reader

Hi Beauties! I'm on a break thanks (no thanks) to a colleague who hasn't shown up on set and the above message from a blog reader got my attention. It also got me upset so I decided to talk about it here.

Trashy or Hot?


Ladies,what do you think of Eniko's outfit?  Eniko AKA Neeki baby who's popularly known as Kevin Hart's girlfriend wore this combination of lingerie and sheer (my definition of the outfit) to the premiere of Real Husbands Of Hollywood with her man.

Thanks to celebrities like super model Kate Moss and reality TV star Kim Kardashian, the turtleneck, a demure fashion trend is back. I'm not a big fan of following trends, but I'm definitely going to incorporate this into my outfits. I honestly hope we don't see crazy versions of this trend. Imagine a turtleneck with cutouts that expose side-boobs.

Relationships: When do you say "enough is enough"?



"I suffered insomnia for a long time after my marriage broke up. It was due to depression and confusion and fear of tomorrow. I was stressed out. But then I started taking time to rest and my sleep pattern returned to normal..."

The above comment was left by a reader under one of my blog post and the first two sentences got me sad and got me thinking...

Getting rid of stretchmark with sheabutter : Here's what worked for me


Hi Beauties! I'm writing this post to share more tips on how to get rid of stretchmark. I'm going to briefly and precisely talk about what worked for me, but first, I'm going to talk about how stretchmark ended up on my skin.

This skin condition hardly pays any respect to anyone and it's caused by a number of things, including obesity, pregnancy and even weightloss. It found its way to my skin no thanks to weightloss. After I lost a signigicant amount of weight in my mid teens, I discovered stretchmarks on my left breast.

Insomnia: Why can't I sleep? Heeeelllllp!!!



Have you ever suffered insomnia? Lord, sometimes when you need the sleep, insomnia is a terrible curse. Back in my early days as a TV producer I always had the craziest deadlines to meet, so I'd stay up late working, editing and supervising. Sometimes I'd only sleep for about 2hrs in 2days. Yes! It was that bad (or should I say awesome cos I kinda liked it). I can't say if I liked my insomnia days totally... No I don't think I did because eye bags felt my face was their place of birth.

So what causes insomnia?
