I AM STILL HERE

2009-07-04T13:55:00.001-07:00

Hi ya all. I have been so busy lately trying to write some e-books (three to be specific).

I am through writing them (by the way if you want a copy of my free e-book on how to prevent acnejust send a mail to pharmosinubi2@yahoo.com and i will be sure to send it to you) and am ready to give it my best shot writing on this blog. I hope to help you live a healthy and beautiful life.

I have to go now. Hopefully i would be able to write something spectacular tomorrow.

Oh! by the way were you shocked by the death of Micheal Jackson? I was shocked, sad and depressed. Listening to his songs the next day made me to almost cry again. May his soul rest in perfect peace. I guess the choir (angels) in heaven needed another member to help improve their singing.

Till i write again,remain beautifully blessed.
Your girl, Bim nubi.

I AM FRUSTRATED

2009-02-27T16:58:00.000-08:00

I know that i keep on saying i am sorry for not writing for a long time but it seems i always have something keeping me from writing. First it was my interviews now i have a problem with my internet connection. I have tried reporting to my service providers but it seems they are having problems with their equipments.

I really hope they solve their problems soon 'cause i am getting frustrated and angry. I might just find another service provider very soon.

Well till i can write properly, hope you stay beautifully blessed.
See you whenever i can write.
Your girl, Bim nubi.

I AM SO SORRY

2009-02-08T23:18:00.000-08:00

It has been about 2 weeks since i last wrote, well i am sorry but i assure you that i have a good reason. I was reading, trying to prepare for an interview where i would be asked professional questions. I was trying to brush up on my knowledge.

Anyway i have been finally inducted as a pharmacist. After so many years the day finally arrived and it felt so unreal (it still does). The plans that i made went out of control, it didn't go according to my plans. So many things that i won't have imagined happened. It started with my suit, it was not the one i would have loved to wear but i had to make do with it because i didn't see anyone that was my size (i am incredibly tiny). Then the car/van that my uncle was to use to bring my grandmother overheated and she couldn't get to the venue on time.

As if that was not enough as we were going home at around 8 p.m, we had 2 burst tyres when we were on the expressway.

That day is one that i won't forget for anything. Anyway i am grateful to God for my life and that of my mum and the driver.

I have to go now because i have another interview. I have to find a job as fast as i can. I will try to write this week. Hope i really do.

See you soon.
Remain beautifully blessed.
Your girl, Bim nubi.

SIMPLE BEAUTY TIPS YOU CAN USE

Simple Beauty Tips Anyone Can Use to Improve the Condition of Skin and Hair
By Sarah Freeland

Your personal beauty starts with the look and condition of your skin. To improve the condition of your skin and to protect it from the damages caused by your environment there are several skin care tips that you can follow.

First you will want to use a quality moisturizer every day. This moisturizer should be formulated for the type of skin that you have. For example if you have oily skin you will not want to use an oily moisturizer. You should also look for a moisturizer that has SPF in it. This will help protect your skin from sun damage throughout the year. Proper cleansing of the skin is also important to do daily. For this you will want to use a mild soap or skin cleanser that is designed to remove dirt and oil from your skin without drying it out. An exfoliant is another skin care product that you may want to use periodically to remove dead skin cells.

In addition to lotions, cleansers and exfoliants you may also want to use beauty products that are designed to address specific beauty problems. For example if you want to improve the firmness of your skin you can use a skin firming lotion. Many brands of lotions offer a skin firming formula. These products are fairly effective at tightening up loose and sagging skin. However, results will vary from person to person. Other beauty issues that can be addressed by using an over-the-counter beauty product include products for sunless tans, products for acne and products that reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

The third category of beauty tips deal with cosmetics. Your cosmetics should be used to de-emphasize features that you don’t like and to enhance the features that you do like. The type of cosmetics that you use should be based upon your coloring, the type of look you are after and the type of skin that you have.

The final category of beauty tips deals with hair care. Your hair is one of the first things that people will notice. To put your best foot forward you will want to make sure that your hair is healthy and that it is cut in a style that flatters your face shape. You should use quality hair care products and you should select hair care products that are designed to meet the needs of your hair texture and type

I have to go, because i am not too happy right now. This very minute that i am posting this, a house a couple of kilometres from mine is burning. All we can see is the flames, i am seriously praying that no one is trapped inside because properties can be bought back but once a life is lost it can never be gotten back.

Hope you have a lovely week.
Remain beautifully blessed.

BEAT THE BAGS UNDER YOUR EYES

2009-01-18T07:50:00.000-08:00

They make you look haggard and don't compliment your diva look. They are known as bags and dark circles under your eyes. Wanna get rid off them, try some the remedies contained in this article.

Dark Under Eye Circles and Bags Can Be Beaten
By Jennifer Austin

Dark under eye circles and bags can be beaten if one understands what they are, what causes them and what can be done about them. Unfortunately, most people allow them free reign and do nothing other than try to cover them up. Luckily, there are many ways to fight dark under eye circles and the puffiness. The unfortunate thing about dark under eye circles and bags cause people to look older than they actually are.

What are under eye circles and bags, exactly? The actual term for dark under eye circles is oxidizing hemoglobin. The oxidizing hemoglobin begins with the capillaries. The capillaries are the vessels which hold blood that is oxygenated; they are so tiny in fact, that the hemoglobin must line up to pass through. The capillaries around the eyes lie very close to the surface. Often these cells leave their fixed path and end up in the skin where the enzymes shatter them, as well as the hemoglobin. When this occurs, the dark under eye circles result.

Does my lifestyle play a role in dark under eye circles and eye bags?

Possibly. Increasing the number of hours you can help a little. Exercise, drinking plenty of water, and cutting down on the salt intake can help with the eye bags.

Do home remedies exist?

Yes.

You can try cucumber. It may help lighten the shade, although, there won't be a huge improvement.

Another home remedy is tea. Of all the teas, chamomile tea is the most recommended due to its anti-inflammatory nature. Not only can it reduce the inflammation, but it is a known antioxidant that can do wonders for the skin.

Sleep on more of an incline by adding an extra pillow, which will help with some drainage. This can reduce the amount of swelling under the eyes.

Chronic medical conditions, such as sinuses can also cause eye bags. Allergies can also contribute to eye bags. Constant inflating and deflating will worsen the condition so you should see your physician to treat that problem first.

There are many solutions to dark under circles and bags that so many people suffer from...some invasive and others, completely non-invasive. The choice is entirely up to each individual.

Are you tired of people commenting on how tired you look? Fed up with looking older than you really are? Dark under eye circles and bags give the wrong impression to other people. Don't accept it, fight back.

Perfume and Cologne Categories and Families - Categories of Perfume
By Patricia Warner

Perfume and cologne is on the rise and finding itself to be increasingly used more and more by today's consumers. While on the one hand, bad smells are counteracted by fragrances including perfumes and colognes, people including marketing experts are now trying to introduce this sense into multimedia-based experiences. Wouldn't that be cool to smell your favorite perfume or cologne through your computer? The aim is to make the fragrance a unique feature for a certain brand or location.

Fragrances including perfume, cologne, air fresheners, laundry detergent, candles, etc. help make this world smell a little better. You need to be aware of what fragrances you are interested in as well as the different family's and categories are that are contained in the perfumes and colognes you like and prefer. This is a simple instructional table that should help you in determining the common families and the designer fragrance notes here-in:

Perfumes and Colognes are categorized by the following fragrance families.
Women's Perfume Family

Citrus Perfume: The light, fresh character of citrus notes (bergamot, orange, lemon, petitgrain, mandarin etc...) is often combined with more feminine scents (flowers, fruits and chypre).

Citrus Lifestyle Perfume: Refreshing fragrances for the energetic, sporty woman. Appropriate for office wear, day wear or warm evening wear. A perfect summer fragrance especially for warm or humid climate.

Green Perfume Fragrance: Green notes are natural in character; often married with fruity and floral notes, they are modern and fashionable.
Green Lifestyle Perfume. A slightly eccentric fragrance for the modern woman. For the professional woman working in an office atmosphere. Good day wear and occasional evening wear in warmer weather. Sporty, charismatic and artful.

Floral Perfume: An accord of different floral notes. Combined with any other family, floral perfumes are universally commercial. Single florals are included in this family.
Floral Lifestyle Perfume: The scent of romance and starry nights. Floral fragrances evoke memories of romantic moments, and create new ones. The most feminine of all fragrance families.

Chypre Perfume: Based on a woody, mossy and flowery complex, sometimes with aspects of leather or fruits, chypre perfumes are rich and tenacious.

Chypre Lifestyle Perfume: Very elegant, classical, for women who tend to prefer slightly out of the norm fragrances. Chypre fragrances smell slightly dry, not very sweet.

Oriental Perfume Fragrance: A blend of warmth and mystery. Musks and precious woods are complemented by exotic essences.

Oriental Lifestyle Perfume: Mystical, luxurious, dramatic, sexy, sensual. Mostly worn in the evening.

Oceanic Perfume Fragrance: Fresh scented, slightly soapy clean fragrances.
Oceanic Lifestyle Perfume: Sporty, young, joyous, energetic, understated
Men's Cologne Family
Aromatic Cologne Fragrances: Thyme, sage, mint, rosemary, anis and clove are but some of the herbs and spices that produce an aromatic perfume.

Aromatic Lifestyle Cologne: Perfect for the adventurous man who prefers exotic uplifting fragrances. A great choice for distinguished gentlemen who appreciate the finer things in life

Fougere Cologne Fragrance: A powerful fantasy composition of bergamot, oakmoss and geranium.
Fougere Lifestyle Cologne: Similar to the Aromatic lifestyle but with notes accentuating the chypre like fragrance of oakmoss.

Citrus Cologne: The light, fresh character of citrus notes (bergamot, orange, lemon, petitgrain, mandarin, etc.) is often combined with more masculine scents (woods and spices).
Citrus Lifestyle Cologne: Sporty, energetic. A great fragrance when you want to feel refreshed. Perfect for warm and humid summer days.

Chypre Cologne Fragrance: Based on a woody mossy perfume and flowery complex, sometimes with aspects of leather or fruits, chypre perfumes are rich and tenacious.
Chypre Lifestyle Cologne: Distinguished

Oriental Cologne Fragrance: A harmony of spices, woody essences and vanilla results in mysterious and diffusive perfumes.

Oriental Lifestyle Cologne: For the mysterious, sensual man who prefers a stronger more prominent perfume fragrance. Very sensual and great for evening wear
Tobacco Cologne Fragrance: Flowers, woods and balsam create this warm and sensual blend.

Tobacco Lifestyle Cologne: A great uncommon distinguished fragrance for an uncommon man. For a powerful man who wants his presence felt.

Woody Cologne: A warm, dry, elegant and masculine scent. Patchouli, vetyver, sandalwood and cedar form the heart of these fragrances.

Woody Lifestyle Cologne: For the traditional distinguished gentleman. One that is not easily influenced by trends and is confident of his preferences.

Lavender Cologne: A lavender note is dominated by the fresh, bracing scent of the flower. It is often blended with fougere, woods or floral notes.

Lavender Lifestyle Cologne: Fun loving, warm, caring

Now you can choose the perfume thats right for you wisely because you now know what types of ingredients and notes are included in them. I hope this list of categorization of the two families helps in picking which and what types of perfume and cologne is best for you. Make sure to experiment occasionally and try something different.

Ask for other peoples opinions as constructive criticism is often very helpful. Also make sure to begin light with your application. Do not over do it when putting on our favorite discount perfume or cologne fragrance. It should be apart of your impression and appearance not your whole appearance.

I 've had my fair share of troubles with picking or creating the right perfume or cologne for me or a gift for someone else. I have been around perfume and cologne for over 20 years. A great site I've found and used many times to purchase discount perfume and cologne is http://www.yournewfragrance.com

Hope you loved the article and it helps you choose the best scent that works for you.

Remain beautifully blessed,
Your diva, Bim nubi.

A FEW BEAUTY TIPS JUST FOR YOU

2009-01-03T10:48:00.000-08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR. Hope you had a lovely new year’s celebration and you remained as beautiful and fabulous as ever throughout this week. I wish the very best this year and hope all your dreams come true (at least the meaningful ones).

Well this week I have a few beauty tips for you courtesy Ms Mariya Smith. Some or most of the tips you would read about are probably things you have heard so many times. However sometimes we need reminders on things we should do. Maybe this article will spur us a little and we would carry out the tips.
Hope you enjoy it. See you at the other end as usual.

Need a Few Beauty Tips?
By Mariya Smith

Nothing shows a woman's beauty like her skin. When you skin glows all of you glows. How many times have we heard people comment on how beautiful a pregnant woman's skin is? "She has such a glow," people will say.

Have you ever wished that you could do something to improve your skin and make it glow? Have you spent a lot of time trying to hide blemishes or discolorations, or dullness? Have you just wanted it to look cleaner and clearer naturally, before you put on your lotions and make ups? If yes, then here's a few natural beauty tips that you can do for your own skin.

Natural Beauty Tip #1: Drink lots of water! That is right. The more water you drink, the better you skin will look - How's that for some completely free beauty advice.

Natural Beauty Tip #2: Eat plenty of fresh vegetables - the more uncooked ones you eat the better. That is some of the best beauty advice you will ever get. Your body needs all those minerals and nutrients that you get from raw and fresh vegetables. Your skin will thank and reward you with a healthy glow.

Natural Beauty Tip #3: Do not smoke cigarettes. Nicotine yellows your skin, clogs your pores and gives you those nasty blackheads. That's not only a beauty tip, it is a health tip. Think of what it must do to the rest of your body, if it can do that to your skin! Just don't smoke.

Natural Beauty Tip #4: Take your vitamins! They keep you healthy, help you sleep, and if you are taking the right vitamins they nourish not only your blood but your skin. All that nourishment will make you look and feel younger. As we all know, when we feel good, we look good. The real secret to beauty!

Natural Beauty Tip #5: Get plenty of rest. Don't stay up too late, then get up too early, and do it too many days in a row. Sure, there are those times when we have to go the extra mile and it may show for a day in our overall beauty. Just don't make a habit of it. Sleep is the time when the body regenerates. Let it get its full regeneration.

Natural Beauty Tip #6: Try to reduce stress in your life (and the beauty tips above will all help with that). Nothing shows on your whole body like stress: the way you walk, the look in your eye, the haggard appearance of your skin, the way you talk, even the way you sit in your chair. Here's a little beauty advice: your stress shows on your whole body so do not let that stress become overwhelming.

The funny thing about these beauty tips is that you can easily see that it really is just one big beauty tip: keep yourself healthy and happy and it will show in your skin. Then when you use your creams and make up, and your lovely scents and soaps it will make you even that much more beautiful than you are naturally.

Hope you enjoyed the article and remember to follow the tips. I know I am going to try. I would love my skin to glow and to get rid of some blemishes that I caused to my skin so that I would require less cover up make-up.

Well that is all for now folks. Gotta go. Hope to see you next week.
Remain beautifully blessed,
Your diva, Bim nubi.

P.S: As we have started a new year, I want to start a new trend of posting an inspirational quote every week (hope I can continue till the end of the year). Here goes the first one:

“Every day, we are given dozens of choices - from which foods to eat to which parts of the newspaper to read to which words to say in any given conversation. Many of those choices seem to be insignificant, but when you string them all together they determine the quality of our lives.”
- Michael Masterson

HOMEMADE BEAUTY TIPS

2008-12-26T01:18:00.000-08:00

Hey you guys. MERRY CHRISTMAS! How was your Christmas? Hope you had a great day. Mine was not too nice. I couldn’t go anywhere as I woke up with a terrible stomachache and had diarrhea. I actually thought I was going to be hospitalized but thank God for his mercies, I am better now.

To think I had planned to have a wonderful day but I guess man proposes, God disposes (this means that you might plan a whole lot of things but if God doesn’t agree with it, you are just planning in vain). Sorry, I didn’t mean to get too spiritual or philosophical but I was just thinking of the things that happened.

Now back to the business of looking and feeling good. I have always wondered what people in ancient times did to make their skin glow and how they applied make-up (if they did). I came across an article that said Queen Cleopatra used to apply milk and honey on her skin (or is it she used to bathe in it? I am not too sure). The point I am trying to make is that if people like Queen Cleopatra and Esther of Bible times used natural and homemade remedies for their beautiful skin what prevents us from doing so too.

I saw this article talking about natural beauty tips that I know you would love. Enjoy reading it, see you at the end.

Follow Homemade Beauty Tips – For Beauty Is In Nature's Grips
By David Maillie

Beautiful people of all ages have maintained that beauty is not as much reflected in the rosy, youthful look of the skin. When questioned about the secret to their beautiful skins, they have always attributed it to a healthy lifestyle and a few homemade beauty tips. Healthy lifestyle and homemade beauty tips are mostly based on the refreshing, detoxifying effects of natural and herbal products with the former fortifying the system’s internal strength and the later protecting outwardly.
Homemade beauty tips, as such, are based on judicial choice of herbal ingredients for external skin care. Some home-based natural skin care tips would be as follows:

• Buttermilk/cream and yogurt make excellent skin cleansers.
• After-bath application of almond oil is undoubtedly a great treat for the skin – the suppleness and glow it brings to the skin is unmatched by even the very best of moisturizers.
• Regular application of honey or yogurt makes the skin soft and has a gentle bleaching effect.
• Sea salt/sugar mixed with olive oil works as an extraordinary at-home body exfoliation preparation.
• Different natural and herbal products like Aloe Vera, Basil, Chamomile, Lavender, Marshmallow, Neem, Oatmeal, Sandalwood, Tea tree oil, Turmeric, Witch Hazel, etc. used as facial packs often help to dispose dead cells and impurities lodged in the skin to unclog pores. Side by side playing the roles of cleansers, the natural produces and elements strike water-oil balance of the skin.

If you find it too troublesome to go for natural skin treatments, the safest choice will be the TCA peels. The ready-to-be-used medically approved TCA peels have an answer for almost all skin problems – right from acnes to wrinkles and skin pigmentations to dryness. With long lasting effects, TCA peels give back the skin its natural healthfulness. With no harmful side effects (nearing the gentleness of homemade beauty tips), TCA peels can be safely used for teen-age skin problems.

Two is undoubtedly ‘company’ but three is not always ‘crowd’. TCA peels, balanced diets and a few homemade beauty tips make enviable company when it comes to revitalizing the skin. Therefore, surrender to the cares of the threesome and be the proud possessor of a youthful skin and look!

David Maillie is an alumni of Cornell University and specializes in biochemical synthesis for public, private, and governmental interests and manufactures various skin peels and acne treatments for doctors offices and medispas. He can be reached at M.D. Wholesale: http://www.bestskinpeel.com/

Hope you loved the article and have resolved to follow these tips. I know they would do you a lot of good.

I have to go. Hope I would be able to see you soon.
Remain beautifully blessed,
Your diva, Bim nubi.

P.S: I recently saw this quote on a guy’s shirt. I found it amusing so I decided to share it with you. Here goes: I am so broke I can’t even pay attention. Hope you got the humor in it.

2008-12-19T08:47:00.000-08:00

Nowadays people are so concerned with their outer beauty and do all that is possible (mostly surgical) so that they can look extremely good.

Well it is comforting to know that you don’t have to go through such expensive and life threatening. I found this article on the net talking about the 4 top natural beauty tips and decided to publish it. If you have being following this blog, you will notice that I have actually talked about these tips before. However sometimes we need some things to be practically drummed into our heads before we act on it, hence my decision to publish it.

4 TOP NATURAL BEAUTY TIPS
by Andrea Taylor

Women all over the world spend millions of dollars on gels, creams, powders, and lotions all in the attempt to maintain or enhance their skin and beauty. Beauty is a universal theme that has been around since the beginning of time and all civilizations have had a natural beauty tip or two. Modern western cultures have taken the idea of beauty to extreme by resorting to plastic surgery, liposuction, injections, and other medically invasive treatments to gain a sense of enhanced beauty. There is no need to spend thousands dollars or resort to surgery, our 4 top natural beauty tips are freely available in this article for everyone.

First, natural beauty tip is to drink enough water every day. Drinking eight to ten glasses of water will solve many problems that you may be purchasing creams for. Drinking enough water will hydrate your skin and rid your body of the toxins and chemicals that are damaging your skin and hair. Flush the toxins out and hydrate your body with at least eight glasses and your beauty regime will improve greatly.

The second natural beauty tip is to eat fruits and vegetables daily. Fruits and vegetables contain the vitamins and minerals our body needs. When our bodies are fueled with the necessary vitamins and minerals many skin and hair problems disappear. Also, many fruits and vegetables such as carrot, oranges, cucumbers, and apples are known to be good rejuvenators for skin, hair, and nails.

Regular exercise is the third natural beauty tip that everyone should know. Regular exercise pumps oxygen to our cells, which in conjunction with water, helps to rid our bodies of those nasty toxins. Exercise does not need to be hours in the gym a walk around the block on a consistent basis will do wonders for your skin and body.

Exercise also helps our bodies become more adept at digesting food which will allow the vitamin and minerals from the fruits and vegetables be absorbed into our bodies easier. Regular exercise also helps increase your energy level and sometimes can lift your mood. When you are happy and awake, you can look younger and feel younger. Isn't that what all the beauty products people buy are for? To create a younger you!

Finally and most importantly, do not discount the power of a positive attitude toward your beauty regime as well. Happy people are considered more beautiful in western society and having a positive attitude is the fourth natural beauty tip. Having a good attitude has been proven to lengthen your life span and boost your immune system, when we feel good we look good as well.

Natural beauty tips are really everywhere. There is no need to resort to a thousand dollar an ounce cream to achieve the same results you can get from eating right and exercise. Beauty really starts from within and following our 4 natural beauty tips can save you money.

Learn more about natural beauty tips quickly and easily by visiting http://www.lakemarybusinessdirectory.com/ a very popular website that provides resources, articles, consumer information and business reviews.

Well I expect that you would decide to follow the tips, especially the one of having a positive attitude to life. Remember you are beautiful, you are uniquely created so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise and make you feel otherwise.
I usually say that no one can make you feel bad without you giving them permission to do so.

I think that is enough for this week. Hope to see you next week (or hopefully on Monday).
Remain beautifully blessed,
Your diva, Bim nubi.

APPLY YOUR EYESHADOW PROPERLY

2008-08-12T09:41:00.000-07:00

Here are some eyeshadow application tips. Follow them accurately and have beautiful eyes.

Here they are:
1. Select a light color base using a brush; sweep it across your entire eye lid, from brow to lash line.
2. To apply eyeshadow use a long brush. Always watch out for dark colors because they can end up looking theatrical. You can however blend your dark colors with light colors to either make your eyes look smaller or wider.
3. Use a medium toned shade to cover your lower lids.
4. Blend eyeshadow by stroking the lid gently with an eyeshadow brush. Never use your fingers you could wipe off the shadow entirely.
5. Lighter shadows help the eyes look bigger while darker shades make them look smaller. For bigger eyes, sweep a light shade over the lid and darker shade on the outer corner of the lid and the crease.
6. Outline the eyes using the eyeliner on the outer side of the upper and lower lids while tapering on the outside to elongate it.

Hope you try these tips and actually get the glamorous results that it is supposed to produce.

Remember that you might not get it the first time so you have got to keep trying till you get it.

Well, that is all for today folks. I hope I will be able to post something very soon. So see next time. Stay beautifully blessed.
Your girl, Bim nubi signing out.

GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS

2008-08-05T08:04:00.000-07:00

Hi you guys. I have got good news (at least it is for me) but bad news for you guys. The news is that I have a job. I finally found one after about a month of searching and rejections from various places. I am supposed to resume there this week.

The bad news is that I may not be able to post as much as I used to do but I will try to post regularly. I think that is all for my job situation.

I have an article that I saw in a mini-mag while trying to put together an article on healthy living and decided to let you know about it.

It is called “6 things you should know about the black skin” (It was actually 7 things but I did not agree with one point so I decided to omit it). Even if you do not have black skin, I am positive that you would learn one or two things that would help you tremendously. Here goes:

1. Contrary to popular belief, black people need sun screen lotions/creams because solar rays damage the skin causing premature aging and darkening of the skin.

2. Regular resurfacing of the skin with chemical peels, microdermabrasion and alpha hydroxyl products will remove the complexion and eliminate the need for bleaching/toning creams.

3. It takes at least three months to notice any improvement in the skin. Persevere with any new skin treatment/regimen.

4. The black skin is tougher than those of other races but blacks still have to take care of their skin or they might may for it later. So cleanse, tone, moisturize daily, get regular facials and use good quality skin care products.

5. Topical Vitamin C is a must (i.e. blacks should use it). The powder form to be mixed daily with moisturizer or serum. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals that damage and age the skin. It also aids in repairing sun damage and keeping the complexion bright.

6. Drink lots of water (at least two litres) everyday. It will do wonders for your skin.
Culled from Thisday style.

Well, that is all for today guys. I gotta run. Hope I can do again soon.
Your girl, Bim nubi saying ‘stay beautifully blessed’.

HOW TO APPLY YOUR EYESHADOW

2008-07-30T06:12:00.000-07:00

Hi guys. Lately I have been feeling green eyeshadow, so I got a few tips on green eyeshadow and how to make your eyes look spectacular.

Green is a versatile color that can be worn anytime, depending on the effect you want to achieve. Rich teals, light lemons, apple greens are some of the different types of green color available, so choose the one that suits your skin tone. Blending is the key and note that it may not match that green you plan to wear! Make sure to prime lids first to keep the color true and long lasting. Warm it up with browns, wines, plum on the lips and crease on the cheek.

APPLICATION TIP: You can create that peacock-hued lids by applying black liner to the upper lash line, top it with green shadow blending upward for a wash of color on the lid.

You can join the navy by using navy colored mascara. Navy mascara makes green shadow look turquoise, which is a highly flattering shade.

MAJOR TIP: Even if you go bare on lids, colored mascara offers a subtle way to accent eye color.

Remember that you might not get it right the first time (unless you are pretty good), so don’t give up. Try again and again; get your friends to let you know if the green shadow is great on you. If it is not, try another shade of green. It is important that you know that the essence of make-up is to make you radiant and beautiful and not to make you look like a clown. So always try the ‘less is more’ trick until you are very good.

Well that is all I have for you today. Hope you join me next time for another beauty or health tip.

Stay beautifully blessed, your girl, Bim nubi.

EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF EYE SHADOW

2008-07-25T06:49:00.000-07:00

Hi ya all. I sure am glad to be able to write today. Hope you enjoyed my health tips and actually practiced it. I know it might not be easy to adhere to but look at it from this point of view; you would eventually get a great body and a great skin. So STICK with it.

Today I have decided to talk about how to apply your eye shadow to give your eyes and face that glamorous (hey, remember fergie’s song)look.

Applying eye shadow is the most important part of your eye make-up because it can help to contour the eyes and add emphasis to them. The eyes are the most important focal point of the face, hence the eye make-up techniques and choice of colors for eye shadow should suit the shape and color of your eyes.

So here we go with the application tips, however before I start I just want to let you know about a fashion flaw concerning eye shadows. DO NOT apply the same color of eye shadow as your dress (i.e. your eye shadow color should compliment your dressing and not be the same color). So now that we are through with that, let’s get on with the show. Bring out your eye shadow kit and let’s see if the tips work.

APPLICATION TIPS
1. Select a light color base using a brush; sweep it across your entire lid, from brow to lash liner.

2. Use a long brush to apply eye shadow. Always watch out for dark colors because they can end up looking theatrical.

3. Use a medium toned shade to cover your lower lids.

4. Blend eye shadow by stroking the lid gently with an eye shadow brush. Never use your fingers; you could end up wiping off the entire eye shadow.

5. Lighter shadows help the eyes look bigger while darker shades make them look smaller. For bigger eyes, sweep a light shade over the lid and darker shade on the outer corner of the lid and the crease.

6. Outline the eyes using the eyeliner on the outer side of the upper and lower lids while tapering on the outside to elongate it.

Okay, girls that’s all. Hope the tips help you in achieving the look that you want.
I hope to bring you more tips on how to use your eye shadow maybe on how to combine colors. I don’t know yet, but you can find out by joining me next time.

It’s your girl, Bim nubi saying ‘Remain beautifully blessed’. Ciao.

P.P.S: I just want to use this medium to say Goodbye to Heath Ledger and offer my condolences to his family and friends. I know he is in a better place. I would also like to join in asking that he should be given an Oscar for his performance in the “Dark Knight”.

Good bye Heath, the world loves you but I guess God loves you more and wanted you with him. You won’t be forgotten.

CHANGE IN PLANS

2008-07-23T06:10:00.000-07:00

Hi ya all. I have been unable to write a post since ‘cos I have been kinda weak. But that is over now, Thank GOD.

Well today folks I have decided to make some changes in my blog postings, I would now be posting all my trials and fight with acne on my other blog http://Acnespotfree.blogspot.com so that I can dedicate this one to giving out beauty and health tips that I discover. This would make the blog less congested, don’t you think so?

So today I would like to share with you 2 tips (contain in Sally Freeman’s Ageless Natural Beauty) that would help you maintain youthful and healthy skin. Hope you follow them religiously. It can help you in obtaining that acne free skin that you want.
Here are the tips:

1. Eat your Fruits and Vegetables: Antioxidants are your body’s first line of defense against free radical damage and are usually contained in huge amounts in fruits and vegetables. They are also obtained in some supplements sold at your local drug stores, check out http://www.revitol.com/product/overview/Acnezine_Acne_Solution/?aid=490509. Vitamins A, C, and E, beta carotene and the mineral ‘selenium’ would help keep your skin healthy. A large amount of beta carotene which is converted to vitamin A is usually found in deep green and yellow fruits like carrots. Vegetables that are raw or lightly steamed have the most vitamins. It is therefore important that you do not over cook your vegetables. Fiber, which is an indigestible cellulose material that is called ‘Roughage’ and is contained in fruits, vegetables and whole grains is very essential in digestion and elimination of indigested food which is good for your overall health and also your skin.

2. DO NOT SMOKE: Smoking is a very, very, very, terrible, horrible, disgusting habit. It is especially disgusting and annoying when a person decides that he/she wants to smoke and disturbs non-smokers with the horrible smell. Smoking produces free radicals which are indicating in aging and drying of the human skin. It is also indicated in causing cancer. Inhaling tobacco smoke also constricts your blood vessels impeding circulation that is responsible for your skins’ healthy color and can lead to heart diseases. Nicotine stains your teeth and fingers and the odor of tobacco smoke also clings to your skin and hair. Would someone please tell me the advantage of smoking because right now all I see is disadvantages, disadvantages and more disadvantages? So why would anyone do it?

Well I hope you take to heart what I have written and follow them.
I gotta go, should come back soon with more health tips or might just give tips on how to apply make-up perfectly. I haven’t decided yet. Oh well, we will just have to wait and see.
It’s your girl, Bim nubi saying stay beautifully blessed. Ciao.

P.S: Check out my previous posts to know about my acne treatments and also http://Acnespotfree.blogspot.com to know how I have achieved my acne free face. Love to see you.

GET THAT SPECTACULAR SKIN THAT YOU DESERVE

2008-07-19T09:40:00.000-07:00

Like I said yesterday, I am acne free for now and I am grateful for that. You can’t imagine how many times I have wished that I would have an acne free skin for at least 1 week. This is because it always seems as if as one attack of acne is leaving, another one is coming. Thank God that is at least over for now.

I would like to thank you, my readers for helping me because though I have known about the acne treatment that I use for a long time, I was never motivated to continue it for as long as I have now. Now I just need to get rid of my spots, I have a product that I am using but I would let you know about it when I start to get results. The fact that my face is acne free for now does not mean that I will stop now. NO WAY, I am going to stick to it like glue ‘cos I have a big function coming up and I want to look great.

Well, I would like to let you know about a product that has really helped me. It is Revitol® Acne Moisturizing Crème. If you notice in my previous posts, I did not begin with this product but the high rankings (and ramblings) of my friends about how good the product was, made me curious and I decided to try it (it comes as a system with supplements that last for a month). Well I am glad I did.

It is a cream that is benzoyl peroxide based which means it has got antibacterial activity (due to the benzoyl peroxide). It is also loaded with lots and lots and lots of herbal extracts like Calendula extract, Aloe vera extract, Lemon peel extract, chamomile extract and so much more. Check out what the other extracts are and their function is at
http://www.revitol.com/product/overview/Acnezine_Acne_Solution/?aid=490509. It is also moisturizing which means the ‘supposed’ dryness that is to be felt with benzoyl peroxide is taken care of by the moisturizing agent.

All the herbal extracts are included to help with either the inflammation of acne or irritation that is associated with acne. I think if the manufacturers had just put all the above ingredients it would make a great product. Don’t you think? But guess what? Check out http://www.revitol.com/product/overview/Acnezine_Acne_Solution/?aid=490509 to know what they did.

Okay I would give you a sneak preview, they added some vitamins to it (my, oh my, nourishment inside and out, if you get my drift). If you don’t, here is what I mean. It comes with a supplement pack that contains vitamins and antioxidants. NOW you get it….nourishment inside and out. That is not all; there are some SECRET INGREDIENTS that are added that I cannot tell you about, you just have to find out yourself. So do the ‘indiana jones’ thing check outhttp://www.revitol.com/product/overview/Acnezine_Acne_Solution/?aid=490509. I am sure you won’t be sorry.

Another thing that I love about Revitol® Acne Moisturizing Crème is its color and packaging. The packaging is simply divine, the blue color and shape is great. The bottle of its supplement is great too. I personally have a problem when buying things I tend to look at the packaging before I even consider reading the label and deciding if the product is good or not. It is good for all ages.

Oh by the way, they have got this great promo going on, why don’t you find out about it yourself. Get curious; explore a little ‘cos you have got nothing to lose but your acne.

I got curious, gave it a try and I am saying (not too sound too PROUD) ‘I AM ACNE FREE’.

Gotta run. Hope you had a nice time, I sure did.
It’s your girl, Bim nubi saying stay beautifully blessed. Ciao.

2008-07-17T05:12:00.000-07:00

Well i sure won't stop now, as the dermatologists say i would continue with the treatment so as to prevent new ones from appearing. In case you are wondering what products i used you could check my previous posts. Hope you learn a thing or two. Just wanted to let you know about my progress.

My next battle now is to get rid of the massive acne spot i have on my face, so please join me in my fight. I am counting on your help.

See ya soon.

Stay beautifully blessed,
Your girl, Bim nubi.

BY THE WAYSIDE: I am really feeling 'Heaven sent' by Keisha Cole. I think she is pretty and has a great voice. I also think her new hair colour suits her more than the others that she has done. What do u think?
Oh ! what's up with Chris Brown and Rihanna denying their relationship? I just don't get it. Oh well, it is their lives, i guess i have no right to butt in. Gotta go before i get into trouble.

BLAZING HOT NEWS

2008-07-15T07:14:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone. I am sure glad to be able to post on something that i think is incredible and you deserve to know about. You interested? Well, wait for it, INTRODUCIIIING……. 4 new smoking hot blogs that I think could change not only your life but also that of your family and friends. Want to know about them? Okay, let’s go then.

They are http://Arthritiscontrol.blogspot.com, http://Diabetes.blogspot.com, http://Acnespotfree.blogspot.com and http://Breastcancerwatch.blogspot.com. As their names suggest, they have content that are relevant to the proper management of the disease i.e. Arthritis, Diabetes, Acne spot/scar (not a disease but a problem that most acne sufferers have to live with) and Breast cancer.

I hope you enjoy their contents even if you do not have any of the diseases or problem. Remember learning about these diseases (or problem) and how to effectively prevent and treat them could one day save you even if you are guy (breast cancer affects men too)/one of your family member or friends.

I would give you an example, I don’t have breast cancer but I have seen how those who have it suffer and there is also the fact that I am a lady (and a pharmacist) I have to know how to detect it early (as that is the major key to taking care of breast cancer/any cancer for that matter), so I need quality information on it.

Well, that’s all for now folks.
Remain beautifully blessed. It’s Bim nubi signing out. Ciao.

PRODUCT REVIEW DAY

2008-07-12T07:43:00.000-07:00

Hey you all. It has been quite a while. Today like the title says I would like to write a product review for a product that I think you just have to know about. It is not only good for your skin (acne) but also for your general health. Interested? Okay let’s go.

The Product, ladies and gentlemen is…….(drum roll)Acnezine Skin Antioxidant Capsules by Revitol®http://www.revitol.com/product/overview/Acnezine_Acne_Solution/?aid=490509. It is a dietary supplement packed full with vitamins, antioxidants and other herbal/naturally obtained ingredients. It thereby fights acne from inside (internally) acting like an internal cleanser. It acts by fighting free radicals which cause damage to the body and is effective in treating mild and moderate acne.

It contains Vitamin C which is an antioxidant which helps in reducing the damage that is caused by free radical, helps in the synthesis of collagen (a key structural protein), improves skin texture and reduces wrinkles. Vitamin E is also present; it is also an antioxidant that protects the cells from the effects of free radicals.

Another antioxidant that is in this product is Alpha Lipoic acid. This one is however different in that it is water and fat soluble so can go through every fluid and organ in your body. It helps in suppressing the inflammatory response within the cells. It prevents wrinkles by acting against the collagen-digesting enzymes. Wow! All that in just one capsule but that’s not all. Getting interested? check it out here:
http://www.revitol.com/product/overview/Acnezine_Acne_Solution/?aid=490509

It contains Ubidecarenone Co-Enzyme Q10 which is naturally made in the body. It is a co-enzyme so helps enzymes to function properly. It is also an antioxidant which helps produce the energy necessary for cell growth. Also present in the product is Hydrolyzed collagen which helps the body’s collagen containing tissues like the bones and cartilage. Hyaluronic acid (a component of connective tissue), Aloe vera (which contains a lot of nutrients that is just great for your body) and Bioperine (increases the absorption of many supplements making them more active) are also present. Check it out here:
http://www.revitol.com/product/overview/Acnezine_Acne_Solution/?aid=490509

All that in one capsule, I think that it is simply great. It is possible to obtain the ingredients individually but that would mean you popping a lot of capsules every day. I don’t think I can do that. So this is so convenient for me. It is available in a pack of 30 capsules (should last for a month as one is taken daily) and sold with Revitol® Acne Moisturising Crème which contains benzoyl peroxide (low concentration) and herbal extracts. The combination allows you to tackle acne from inside and outside. Check out
http://www.revitol.com/product/overview/Acnezine_Acne_Solution/?aid=490509.

There is even a promotion going on right now. Here let me give you a tip: If you want to take advantage of the promo but are short of cash, you could get a friend who uses the products to give you half of the money and you guys would share the products after. That is what I call great savings. Check them out at http://www.revitol.com/product/overview/Acnezine_Acne_Solution/?aid=490509 to know what the promotion is all about.

So go try out this product, the only thing you have to lose is your acne.
Be beautifully blessed, Bim nubi signing out.

NEW DAY, NEW POSSIBILITIES

2008-07-10T08:21:00.001-07:00

I am sorry that I have not been able to post anything for some days. I was busy and could not seem to find the time to write. I recently had the privilege of watching some films that have been out for a couple of years now, they are ‘crossover’ and ‘drumline’. I know that they are kinda old but I did enjoy watching them. I saw that Eva (the girl that played the role of 'Vanessa'), a winner of Tyra Banks’ American next model was there. I don’t quite get it, must models also act? I watched ‘Take the Lead’ and saw that Yaya (she was the 1st runner up in the episode that Eva won) was there. Oh well, I enjoyed watching the movies.

Can someone please tell me who the guy that played ‘Cruise’ is? I know I have seen him somewhere (on TV) but don’t know if he acts/sings. I absolutely thought he was cute. The guy who played Tech was not bad too.

I gotta a big function coming up real soon and I want to look great so I have to stick to my acne treatments like glue. I want to look fabulous. I use salicylic acid for my acne (for those of you that don’t know). So I think I should talk more on the product I use. It is called Clarifying Cleanser by Murad Acne complex® (Acne Complex). It contains salicylic acid, green tea extract and menthol. What I love about it is the fact that it is a foam cleanser. Its lather is simply great. I love the menthol smell; it has a calming effect on me which is wonderful for my body. The concentration of salicylic acid in it is 1.5% which is perfect for my skin. You don’t even need a wash cloth as it is naturally exfoliating. It helps tone my skin, keeping it acne free.

It actually comes as a complete system with an exfoliating acne treatment gel and skin perfecting lotion. The exfoliating acne treatment gel is to be used after the cleanser, it contains retinol and glycolic acid that helps control breakouts and repairs your skin cells and heals your blemishes. The skin perfecting lotion is one wonderful product that I can’t do without in a day. Not only is oil free, it contains Queen of meadow extract which reduces oil production and tightens pores which means reduction of acne for me.

I think the best part of Murad Acne Complex® is the Clarifying Mask which absorbs oil and accelerates healing and it is FREE!!! It comes with the acne spot treatment when you buy the whole system. Can you beat that? The two products cost $25 (that is great savings for me). The clarifying mask contains sulfur which reduces the severity of acne and is also effective against eczema and licorice extract which soothes and calms the skin. The acne spot treatment contains sulfur also.

I however, have a confession to make I don’t use all the products every time with the exception of the skin perfecting lotion and the clarifying cleanser because I have started with Proactiv® Solution which contains benzoyl peroxide. My friend however uses everything (Murad Acne Complex® products) and he really appreciates the fact that I recommended it to him because he loves it.

Other benzoyl peroxide products that you could check are Revitol® Spot gel http://www.revitol.com/acne-spot-gel/?aid=490509 and Revitol® Acne Moisturizing Crème http://www.revitol.com/product/overview/Acnezine_Acne_Solution/?aid=490509, it has a lot of herbal extracts, vitamins in addition to benzoyl peroxide which helps you to achieve that fabulous skin that you deserve. You could get the crème with Revitol Acnezine Anti-oxidants Capsules which helps improve your body by fighting free radicals and take cares of your acne. You could check out Murad Acne Complex® at Acne Complex while you can get a Get a FREE Refining Mask and a FREE guide about controlling breakouts when you order Proactiv®.

The overall best aspect of all these products is that they have a money back guarantee, I think this means that they are quite confident about their products and they should be because they work. So go out there and get one that helps you tremendously.

Like I say ‘you have nothing to lose except your acne’. Be beautifully blessed. Your Girl, Bim nubi.

THE FIGHT CONTINUES

2008-07-07T07:04:00.000-07:00

Hi ya all. Woke up this morning like I always do, grateful for the chance to see another day and with an oily face (despite the fact that I cleaned my face the night before). From my research I have seen that oil and bacteria can cause acne, so I have to take extremely care of my face.

I also saw in the mirror that I have been visited by 3 little bumps on my temple. I really am getting tired of seeing acne on my face. I used to think that acne treatment should take care of my acne in like 2 weeks but when I was researching acne I saw that most acne treatment should be continuously used for about 2 months before a suitable conclusion can be made. Since I have not used my salicylic acid / benzoyl peroxide treatment for up to 2/3 months, I have to be patient.

I came across an article about salicylic acid that said that it was good for wrinkles, eczema, Psoriasis and of course acne. So I guess I am on the right track with my treatment (don’t you think so?). You could try Clarifying Cleanser by Murad Acne complex® (Acne Complex). Benzoyl peroxide is said to be an antibacterial agent; I just wish it will take care of the bacteria causing my acne FAST. I really can’t complain because I know what my face was always like before I started the treatment.

If you want to try my acne treatment allow me to also recommend a revolutionary complete system used by celebrities, known and unknown (i.e. me) that should work wonders for you. I am talking about Proactiv® Solution, you could Get a FREE Refining Mask and a FREE guide about controlling breakouts when you order Proactiv®. Sounds like a great deal to me and oh! I forgot to tell you they got a 60 day money back guarantee. It does not get better than that!

While I seem to be partial to Proactiv® Solution, I have got some friends who simply love another benzoyl peroxide product because of its gel and crème form that contains a whole lot of natural ingredients and also the fact that they are observing great results. I guess to each face, its preference. You can decide which one is effective for you. I am sorry I seem to have forgotten to let you know the products. They are Revitol® Spot gel (http://www.revitol.com/acne-spot-gel/?aid=490509)andRevitol®AcnemoisturizingCrème(http://www.revitol.com/product/overview/Acnezine_Acne_Solution/?aid=490509). Hope you find a product that does not irritate your skin and see beautiful results.

I gotta go; I want to continue with my acne treatment. By the way does anybody know any spot remover that is not hydroquinone based and acts fast? I have some major spots (due to my terrible habit of picking my acne) that I desperately want to get rid of. For the new acne sufferers PLEASE DO NOT (I REPEAT DO NOT) PICK OR TOUCH YOUR ACNE, ‘cos the acne would go away faster than the spot it leaves would. Believe me I am a witness to that.

So if there is anyone that can help me, I would appreciate it if you left a comment for me.

Till I come your way tomorrow(hopefully), it’s your girl Bim nubi. Ciao

MY ACNE FIGHT

2008-07-05T04:50:00.000-07:00

Hi. Dropped two letters yesterday, hope I get a positive feedback. Oh well, we would just have to wait. While I am dealing with looking for a job and my family (they are so eager for me to get a job), I am also dealing with pimples that refuses to go away. I seem to be receiving statements like ‘what are you eating that is causing you to have these pimples’ or ‘you look haggard’. Those are the worst statements that a girl (who would have been a model if not for lack of height) needs to hear in her life.

So I am embarking on an aggressive acne removal and spot removal. I am determined to find out everything about acne and its removal both surface attack and internal attack i.e. by using creams / gels and taking drugs that don’t cause potential harm to my body but help me in every way.

I have been trying out an acne treatment plan that involves the use of salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. Salicylic acid is supposed to be effective against mild acne and oily skin (which is what my face as been classified as) and benzoyl peroxide destroys the bacteria that causes acne and reduces the amount of comedones / blocked pores.

Dermatologists say that salicylic acid may cause dryness of the skin and should not be using products that contain peeling agent like benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, resorcinol etc. However I have been blessed with a harsh skin on my face, I don’t experience the dryness that is supposed to occur.

However I would advice that if you are trying any of the products that you first use a product that has a low concentration of the drugs. You should not use both together.
As with all acne treatments, try to use the products DILIGENTLY for about 2-3 months and observe the results. Acne will not disappear overnight with this treatment (trust me I know) but if you follow the instructions you would be better for it. At least your mild acne would be taken care of (as is happening with me).

I discovered some products that contain salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide that I think are great and would do wonders for you if you follow the instructions (I follow the instructions and my face is better for it). Give them a trial, I am sure you would love them (remember try one at a time to check your skin type). They are:
1. Products containing salicylic acid:
a. Clarifying Cleanser by Murad Acne complex®: Reduces 99% of the bacteria.
2. Products containing benzoyl peroxide:
a. Proactiv® Solution: A revolutionary product used by a lot of celebrities (Get a FREE Refining Mask and a FREE guide about controlling breakouts when you order Proactiv®)
b. Revitol® Spot gel : Helps reduce spots and blemishes.
http://www.revitol.com/acne-spot-gel/?aid=490509
c. Revitol® Acne moisturizing Crème : It also contain a lot of natural ingredients that helps your skin. http://www.revitol.com/product/overview/Acnezine_Acne_Solution/?aid=490509

Till tomorrow. Remain beautifully blessed, Bim nubi.

IT WAS HORRIBLE

2008-07-04T04:57:00.000-07:00

I went for a job interview today. It was horrible. Once they found out where I lived,’ it was we can’t take you ma ‘cos you can’t meet our conditions’ (they feel I will be always late to work and won’t be able to work afternoon shift).

They are right to an extent but I was hoping that since they have branches a little close to my area I would be able to manage if they post me there. This however seems to not be the same line of thinking for the company’s management.

Oh well, to another job search tomorrow. Would let you know how it goes. I am keeping my fingers crossed (big time!!!).

Till tomorrow when I come to tell you about my escapades (that is if I decided to go out), I remain yours truly, Bim nubi.

ANOTHER DAY IN MY LIFE

2008-07-03T02:33:00.000-07:00

Life is not always as you plan and i seem to be learning that every day. For instance I am in a kinda of fix now, I need to find a community pharmacy so that I can do my internship but the problem I am having is that I need one that would allow me to have a flexible work plan/ work hours and would not allow me to be working late into the night (‘cos I gotta be careful as I am a tiny GIRL). However that seems to be eluding me.

For those who do not know what internship means in pharmacy, it is a 1 year period in which the baby pharmacist is expected to learn about the real life pharmacy. A pharmacist could either be a community pharmacist, an academic one, a hospital pharmacist/ an industrial pharmacist. I am choosing community pharmacy to undergo my internship ‘cos I want to own a community pharmacy in future so starting early to understand what it entails is important for my future( don’t u think so?). It is good for me and also good for my future patients/customers.

I think that is enough about me and pharmacy. When I got this blog I only wanted to talk about health and beauty stuff but I am redefining the purpose of my blog.

Not only would I talk about beauty and health stuff (‘cos I love to feel and look good and so do a lot of people), I would also be talking about ways to improve your life either financially or spiritually [as the Spirit leads], juicy gossip/news about celebrities I like and don’t like and also on movies/music that I think are cool.

Maybe it might just be an all round thing,oh! I don’t think so ‘cos I didn’t mention sports. However I just might talk about the cute sport stars like Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United or would it be Real Madrid when football season starts. Oh well, we just have to wait and see.

So get ready folks ‘cos u are in for the time of your life (God willing).
Gotta leave you now ‘cos I gotta look for a place for my internship, would let you know how it goes.

Till tomorrow, be beautifully blessed.
It’s your Girl, Bim nubi.

IT HAS BEEN AGES

2008-07-01T05:40:00.000-07:00

Hi ya all. It has been a long time since I wrote here. I don’t know if there is anyone that has been faithfully checking my blog to see if I have written new stuff. However for those that are my faithful readers/ would be in future I would like to tell you all the reason for my absence.

I had to face my studies as it was my last semester in school so I had to give it my best. I am pleased to let u all know that I have finished my first degree (which was in pharmacy by the way). It was not easy but I am grateful to God for giving me the grace to finish my degree.

For those of you that are thinking of studying pharmacy I advise u to prepare to work hard from the beginning to the end. Concentrate and persevere till the end and you would surely succeed (by God’s Grace).

Some of you might be wondering why I wrote first degree that is because I am planning on doing a couple of master degrees if the finances and time is available. So I guess I better start getting prepared ‘cos I heard it is not a walkover, u just got to be focused.

Anyway I am now partially free to dedicate my self to you, my readers. Hope I am able to give you information that helps you in all aspects of your life and also entertain you with my ramblings.

So till tomorrow (hopefully) this is yours truly, Bim nubi.

WHAT YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR IN A GOOD LIP PLUMPER

2008-01-07T07:01:00.000-08:00

There is not a woman on this planet who does not want full, sexy lips. The number of cosmetic procedures performed every year alone is proof of this! We lust after celebrities who have a sexy pout, and we try to imitate it by being a bit too generous with lipstick or even resort to painful collagen injections. Now, none of this is necessary anymore! You can give yourself fuller lips instantly with a lip plumper and lip gloss.
A good lip plumper will naturally enhance the look and feel of your lips by stimulating blood flow and nourishing your pout with powerful vitamin E and B. A good lip plumper should have the features of a lipstick and lip gloss. It should have no negative effects though you should always check the constituents of any product you want to buy to be sure you don’t have any allergic reaction to any of the ingredient. The ingredients should be carefully chosen. A good lip plumper should be safe to use and easily absorbed by your skin on your lips and work for long.
It should have the following features:
v Nourish your lips

CUSHY LIPS LIP PLUMPER has the following above qualities. It is a lip plumper that comes in various colours.It contains the following ingredients that perform different and specific functions thereby making it a spectacular lip plumper. The ingredients include:
Macadamia nut oil
The macadamia nut oil used in Cushy Lips comes from the macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) tree. It has a strong moisturizing effect on your lips. Macadamia nut oil is added to both the lip plumper, as well as the lip gloss to give you 100% moisture and soothing effects throughout the day. Macadamia oil has a rich, cushiony feel on your skin, and has the abilities to ensure long lasting moisture locking and nourishment.

Castor Bean Oil
Castor oil is obtained from the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis). Castor bean oil was already used by ancient Egyptians as a body moisturizer. The castor oil in Cushy Lips adds to the moisturizing effects of the macadamia oil and vitamins to give your lips a cushy, soft and smooth feel.
Vitamin B 12
Another name for Vitamin B12 is cobalamin. Vitamin B12 is essential for forming and maintaining healthy blood cells. Adding Vitamin B12 to Cushy Lips would allow the blood vessels in your lips will be well nourished, which helps the natural filling and plumping effects of Cushy Lips because it allows for more swelling to occur just underneath the skin.

Menthol
Menthol was originally extracted from peppermint and other mint oils. Menthol has mild local anesthetic, moisturizing and anti-irritation properties. Menthol is added to Cushy Lips to naturally enhance blood flow to the blood vessels underneath the skin on your lips and also to treat irritated or chapped lips. In Cushy Lips it adds to the nourishing properties of the other ingredients to create fuller lips.

Camphor naturally enhances blood circulation to effortlessly plump your lips. It is however not greasy and maximizing moisturizing. Camphor makes your lips feel silky and soft, nourished and has a filling effect.

HOW TO CREATE SEXY LIPS

2008-01-04T07:19:00.000-08:00

First of all let me say welcome to my blog.A place where beauty and health tips are going to be shared to the delight of many(i hope).So let us get started with the tip of today.
Some women who have thin lips and want full and sexy lips usually go through a lot of trouble to achieve them.Some get collagen implants which is not only unsafe but expensive.However there are cheaper,much more pratical,less painful and safer ways of achieveing similar effects like that of collagen implants.I would show you one of the ways.
Simply follow these steps and you are sure to get sexy and full lips that are sensual and sexy:
1. Apply an emollient lip balm before using your lip pencil and lipstick,this would even out the tone and hydrate your lips.
2.Use a lip pencil that is the same shade or colour as your lip using short and light strokes to trace around the perimeter of your lips.
3.Use the desired coluor pencil to fill in your entire mouth.
4.Increase the size of your lips by using a matching lip gloss or high shine lipstick with a lip brush to make sure that the colour is evenly distributed.
5.Dab a translucent powder around the edges of your lips to prevent bleeding.
Practise these steps and you are sure to have beautiful and sexy lips.However note that practice makes perfect,do not despair if you don't get it the first time(i know i didn't the first time i tried it).Just keep on trying and soon your friends would be asking you to make up their lips for them.
I wish you all the best in your quest to creating beautiful lips.
STAR TIP:Lip glosses start to have a funny smell after they have be kept for too long so change your lip gloss after 3 months.
