Best Fruits For Your Skin and Hair

Bananas:
Rich in potassium and vitamins A, C and E, bananas are ideal for skin and hair (they help restore dull and damaged hair). While vitamin A restores natural oils of the skin, vitamin E repairs damaged skin and lightens age spots. Vitamin C, on the other hand, prevents cell oxidation and wrinkles.

Apples:
They have been used as a beauty aid for decades. A cup of apple juice added to your bath will cleanse and smoothen your skin. Apple juice applied to your scalp helps prevent dandruff. A final rinse of your hair with apple juice after shampooing brings about an added shine. Apples are also a good conditioner and toner, and help fight acne.

Pineapple:
A great skin emollient, pineapples help rejuvenate and cleanse the skin. Rubbing a slice of pineapple on spots like knees, elbows and heels helps soften the skin. It can also act as a loofah or sponge while taking a shower.

Lemons:
Lemons are known for their 'skin and hair' cleansing properties. Dandruff can be prevented by rubbing lemon on the scalp. Adding two teaspoons of lemon juice in your bath not only deodorises the body but also keeps it fresh. Lemon rinds, when rubbed on scars, acne or dark spots, helps heal them. Rub lemon slices on rough areas of heels and elbows to soften them.

Papaya:
Rich in vitamin A and enzymes, papayas act as a great exfoliate. Mashed papaya, when applied to the face, helps get rid of dead skin and gives your face that glow.

Peaches:
This fruit is best for dry skin. A combination of peach paste and yogurt, when applied to the skin and rinsed off with lukewarm water not only moisturises the skin but also leaves it supple and soft. Gorging on these yummy fruits is not enough, applying them on the skin and hair helps a lot as well. So, the next time you lunge at that favourite fruit of yours, look beyond its culinary value, for you'd be surprised at its cosmetic benefits.

Plus Sized Beauties

Women come in all different shapes and sizes, but society decides what should be the perfect shape and the perfect look. But why be bound by society, who says that you must be skinny to be beautiful? Many women go on diets to be the perfect size, yet they end up hurting more than helping their bodies.  You don’t have to be skinny to be beautiful.  It's funny though, America label these women as plus sized, in the Caribbean, they are considered the perfect shape. Be happy in your own skin. Images taken from google images

Discount Clothing

Clothing is something that you can never have too much of, why you ask, because clothing is based on your mood, the way you feel, clothing is an expression of you. The best way you express yourself is by what you wear, take for example, a night out with the girls, you look for the clothing that says fun or good time, wouldn't you? Or even you are on a first date, would your wear something to make you stand out, need I say more. Clothing is also placed into categories, there is no such saying as it’s just clothing, you have the casual clothing, the special occasion clothing, the professional look clothing and the "OMG you look hot" clothing, same goes for shoes, those who say that you can have too much shoes clearly needs to be institutionalised. Although we love clothing, the big name brands like Dolce and Gabbana, DKNY, Prada, Louis Vuitton or Gucci is a bit too expensive for the average person to afford without causing some unwanted debts. So after some inten

Happy New Year

Ok so we are literally some hours away from the New Year, you look back and realized that this year has not been kind to you, ok sure there were a few ups and downs, but why let it deter you? As the saying goes "Don't be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you can dream it, you can make it so." So what everything you planned for this year did not turn out as it should, you are alive, so that means you were given another opportunity to start afresh, or continue where you left off. Every year we make resolutions, some of us the same ones, some of us different, and every year most of us fail by the first couple months, so why force yourself into a commitment, I mean if a relationship started off like this, how long do you think it would last? Relax, live your life and move to suit your occasion. Anything worth having is not easy, and anything that comes easy, is not always worth having. So when the clock strikes 12 on Old Year's night an
