I t may be unpalatable to the majority of us, particularly as we watch the ‘middle-age spread’ rolling in, but being fat is aging, whether middle-age spread or youth. If you are fat, you are old well before your time and this applies in a profound sense as well as a superficial sense.

Bleaching which is often referred to as toning, lightening, whitening and brightening is a very important aspect of professional skin care and is performed for corrective and aesthetic purposes. Its practice cuts across all races including those of European descent.

By BUNMI SOFOLA It was quite a sight watching Festus drive into the venue of a party in his flowing agbada. Cruising around looking for a parking slot, he finally manourvered his car into a tight spot – it was a fair distance from the party. With his agbada ballooning almost in protest as he […]

By Angela Olu- Ajetunmmobi I am forced to write about this innocent-looking hairstyle called ‘pick-‘n’-drop’, because I have finally confirmed what I thought all along: it and any other hairstyle that just leaves your hair hanging, is GUARANTEED to break your hair! It must, it can and it will break your hair, no doubt about […]

Not too long ago, I went bra shopping. Sorry if you didn’t get what I meant. I went brazier shopping and ran into a young designer that I happen to know. We had two big bags before us to pick from. As a conservative, classic personality, my natural instincts led me to picking the black ones. For me colour was not an issue.

Spending most part of a day in the office of the deputy governor of Osun State, gave one a glimpse of what governance is about. Almost everything she attempted to do was punctuated by a call or someone to attend to. There were of course, the courtesy visits. We even witnessed her manage a near crisis situation.

There once was a lovely woman blessed with unique talents. To outside observers, she appeared to have it all. Yet this woman failed to see her own beauty.

As a result of all the correspondence I received from all the white-haired women out there, the studio will be having a special weekend set aside for clients who have gone white [please put things in perspective, it is not grey hair!] and want to stay white.

If I am hurting you in some way but you aren’t telling me what you think or how you feel, how can I adjust my behavior? I am not a mind-reader. In fact, I don’t think I’ve met anyone yet who is. Since we know people can’t read our minds, why do we assume that they can figure out how we feel by our subtle (or exaggerated) indirect messages? You know what I mean… sighing, rolling of the eyes, stoic silence or on the other hand, sarcastic remarks, cursing, yelling or stomping out.

Six months in Lagos and I have seen enough to safely say that there is a distinct misunderstanding of colour in this city. It is everywhere you look; on the streets, in fast food joints, and in interiors around Lagos we are working against rather than with colour.

Everyone has seen the Director General of the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation (NTDC) Otunba Olusegun Runsewe, in full traditional garb. Very few know that he is a veritable sports enthusiast who takes his physical fitness very seriously. Standing well over six feet without his cap, in full sports gear and newly broken sweat , he joins Morenike Taire for a chat after a round of golf at the delightful IBB golf course in Abuja (the best in West Africa and one of the best in Africa), he could easily be mistaken for a tourist rather than their chief host.

Although Sid Mashburn is a definitive gentleman’s haberdasher in Atlanta, his global sense of style is worthy of national and international acclaim. Featured as one of GQ Magazine’s top ten picks for

The body needs a certain amount of fats for various vital functions. The brain is made up of about 60 percent fats, and so is the nervous system. All hormones are created out of essential fats and the skin is lubricated and protected by essential fats.

How do you distinguish your business from the competition? Service, not cost will keep your customers coming back. Service is not just a smile or pleasant tone of voice. Authentic service is ethical, value based and practiced all the time. Our values may include integrity, accountability, quality, collaboration, and teamwork.

I went to a restaurant on Malibu Beach (a long time ago) and sat out on the pier basking in the hot rays of the sun. It felt so good and comforting. I closed my eyes and enjoyed a good baking. I insisted on not using a parasol and must’ve been out there for close to 2 hours (You’d think I should know better right?)
