There is a popular saying which goes thus; ''looking good is good business''. Therefore, ladies, we have to make an effort to look good always. Beauty isn't about looking young, it's about looking good.
Looking good is not limited to our mode of dressing only but also has to do with our skin, face, hair and nails, in fact every part of our body.
Most of us actually know the basics of looking good but i must say that it's imperative to pay attention to particular details such as our skin, face & general outlook.
- In taking care of our Skin, it's important to ensure that we exfoliate at least once every week or apply facial mud. This helps to remove excess dirt and dead skin leaving the face fresh, soft and glowing.
- It's also good to use a facial cleanser every morning and night before going to bed. This should be done after washing the face. You can use any cleanser that suits your face, I use Clean & Clear (For oily skin) this is because i sweat a lot and need to ensure that i cleanse my face thoroughly. Any cleanser with cucumber or lime is also very good for the face.
- Moisturize your face regularly especially after cleansing. It's good to moisturize your skin regularly to keep it looking smooth & supple.
Use a moisturizer that contains anti aging ingredients which can help regenerate more collagen and elastin in the body.
Drink one glass of freshly-squeezed lemon juice daily. Make sure you drink the fresh ones and not the canned or bottled ones. Fresh fruit juices contain pulp that can cleanse your system and purge out the toxins that make your skin look dull and ugly.Furthermore, lemon juice contains a hefty amount of Vitamin C that can instantly make your skin look fresh and vibrant. It also works well in normalizing melanin production.
Eating lots of fruits and vegetables is also very good for the skin also is drinking lots of water.

- Shaping Your Eyebrows:
Plucking the perfect eyebrow shape can be a stressful task because no one wants painful, over tweezed brows. To make tweezing easier, get a sharp tweezer and tweeze along the direction of growth of each strand of hair.
How to Pluck Eyebrows with Tweezers: The Do's and Don'ts
Many women pluck their eyebrows with tweezers. Some wax them, but wax is tricky because it’s hard to get an accurate shape. And some go to a hair removal salon to try "threading." Although threading is newly popular in the United States, it is a centuries-old technique of hair removal practiced in India. The eyebrow experts say never, never to pluck your eyebrows from above, but always to pluck from the bottom of the brow. I say, if you have some wild or stray or bushy hairs growing above your brows, feel free to pluck them. I did it once, and nothing bad happened to me.
It’s also okay to trim your eyebrows. I think this is good if the single hairs are long and thick. You can pluck some hairs and trim the others, brushing them up, evening the ends (be careful not to trim too much!), then brushing them down checking again and again as you go along.

- Your Hair: A woman's hair is her crowning glory. I've heard this a couple of times but let's face it, it's the truth.Visit the salon, take care of your hair, use hair products that suit your hair type. Choose to make hair styles that suit your face and generally complement your look.
Your Nails: Groom your nails as often as possible. You mustn't necessarily wear them long, they can be worn short. Infact, i think short nails are classy and less clumsy unlike long artificial nails. Naturally, nails attract dirt, lets make a conscious effort to keep them clean.
- Your Body:
True physical fitness means a body that is not only free from disease, but is strong and resilient, capable of greater energy, endurance and stamina.Such a body has the ability to perform at its peak, without showing fatigue.The physical benefits of exercise are numerous. Regular vigorous exercising increases metabolic activity, so that the body continues to burn up calorie even when it's resting.
Regular exercise not only benefits the figure, but improves the health of the skin and the hair, by supplying more oxygen to the tissues. Great, toned legs can be yours too if you are ready to take some time off your busy schedule and do some more exercise. It takes more than just running or brisk walking to attain those absolutely divine legs. You need to do regular crunches, squats and plunges. 10 repetitions everyday would guarantee leaner, shapely calves. Even simple skipping helps you to tone the flab around the waist, hips and the calves. But it must be done consistently and in a month's time you will see the results. I skip every now and then and must tell you that it works if you are consistent.
I have a friend who doesn't like drinking water that much (sure she knows my fingers are pointed at her) and i hope when she reads this, she ll xge her mind a lil...
Ve a grt day peeps!
Lotsa luv.
