In continuation from my last post on DRESSING: A BUSINESS ETIQUETTE ( FOUR WEEKS OF DRESSING SMART),

I had highlighted on some key points when dressing smart; Don’t imitate, but do emulate. Dressing is a nonverbal communication. It says a great deal about you and your attitude toward the world around you. Be sure your business clothes are...(Now you have to see this post for yourself. It almost broke the internet; not like Amber Rose oh - lol ). At home you may decide to dress for yourself. In business, you compromise between what makes you comfortable and what makes others comfortable. If you are selling sporting goods, an Italian-cut suit may please you, but it’s not going to make your customers comfortable. If you are dealing in stocks and bonds, your T- shirt will make potential investors think, well, more than twice.

Edgy or excessively revealing fashions may be offensive to many people.

If you think that the problem is theirs, think again. Business etiquette requires you to dress unselfishly for others as well as yourself.

I bet you have read and possibly copy this post? If you have not, please feel free to 'cause you will need it tomorrow when dressing for work. Keep in mind that your job title can affect your choice of dressing and making a statement through your style of dressing requires that you dress for others and be sure you feel smart in it.

I will love to read your comments supercool readers!

Happy smart dressing week !!! Joie de vivre.

Gosh! Not again!
I woke up this morning feeling nauseated, weak and depressed because my 'red lady' came visiting. Thoughts of resorting to pain relieving drugs was the last thing on my mind because as an ardent advocate for mother nature, I believe that the balance I needed was in an organic plant; I quickly reach out for it from a nearby vegetable store.

Though still in pains, I was really uncomfortable then I made my way to the kitchen, put a little water on fire to boil while I sliced the miraculous plant and added to the boiling water. In a few minute, my fresh ginger tea was served. I now believed in the crushing powers of menstrual cramps by Ginger

Ginger has numerous benefits but we will focus only on 10 most essential benefits.

1.It help reduce menstrual pain
Ginger, when eaten or drank as tea at the beginning of the menstrual period, reduce symptoms of menstrual pain.

2 . Inflammation of the colon
A study carried out at the University of Michigan Medical School found that Ginger Root Supplement administered to
volunteer participants reduced inflammation markers in the colon within a month.

3. Reduces Muscle pain caused by exercise
A study involving 74 volunteers carried out at the University of Georgia found that daily ginger supplementation reduced exercise-induced muscle pain by 25% .

4. Kills Ovarian cancer cells
A study found that exposing ovarian cancer cells to a solution of ginger powder resulted in their death in every single test.

5.Can help resolve and keep respiratory problems at distant.
Ginger’s antihistamine property helps in treating allergies — a common cause for respiratory ailments like asthma and bronchitis.
It is also known to inhibit airway contraction and help stimulate the secretion of mucus.
It is the herb of choice for persistent cough and sore throat associated with colds.

6. Can help relieve headache
The ability of ginger to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis helps relieve pain and inflammation in blood vessels thereby providing relief from a migraine and a simple headache.

7. Helps beat joint pain caused due to arthritis
The analgesic and anti-inflammatory property of ginger may
help reduce joint pain of arthritis in some people.

8.Can help prevent cancer
Ginger root contains a very high level of antioxidants.
It has the ability to induce cell death (apoptosis) and
suppress the production of certain proteins.

9. Helps relieve build-up of gas or flatulence
Ginger’s carminative (gas expulsion) properties provides relief from bloating and gas and helps reduce flatulence.

10. Is an instant remedy for nausea and vomiting.
According to studies, ginger can treat sensations of nausea following surgery, due to motion sickness and seasickness, etc.
It is also beneficial for nausea as a result of adverse effect of chemotherapy.

So next time you wake up feeling this way always remember that mother nature got the remedy you desire.

Why not join me in raising a cup of fresh ginger tea to long life,healthy living and refreshment...

I know so many people are familiar with Shea butter but the source of this queen of butter and how it is been processed isn't known to so many.

Shea butter is a solid butter that is derived from from the nuts of Karite trees (also known as Mangifolia). The nuts are crushed,boiled and manipulated to extract the caramel colored fat,which is commonly referred to as Shea Butter.

Shea butter is an edible fat that has gained huge popularity due to its widespread use in several skin beautifying products.

Shea butter since time immemorial has been used for skin care, baby care and for consumption.In Fact, the legendary Egyptian queen Nefertiti owed her beauty secret to Shea butter which further more demonstrate its goodness for skin

COMPONENTS OF SHEA BUTTER

Shea butter is blessed with several fatty acids and plants sterols such as oleic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid and others. It gets absorbed quickly into the skin as it melts at body temperature. Shea butter may be refined or unrefined. Raw or unrefined shea butter is the purest form of shea butter which is most natural and least processed. Since it is extracted manually, it is able to retain its vitamins, minerals and other natural properties. Refined shea butter, on the other hand, is the processed form of butter.

HEALTHY BENEFITS OF SHEA BUTTER

1.SUN PROTECTION

Shea butter acts as a natural sunscreen by providing protection against the ultraviolet radiations of sun though the level of protection offered may be variable. Shea butter is considered as the best skincare for winter and after-sun care as it provides the extra moisture, nutrients and protection needed by your skin during the cold season and summer.

Shea butter has amazing healing properties. It is often used as a base in medicinal ointments due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It has been used since ages for the treatment of scars, eczema, blemishes, skin discolorations, chapped lips, stretch marks, dark spots and in reducing the irritation caused by psoriasis. Due to its high content of vitamin A, it is effective in promoting healing and disinfection; and soothes skin allergies like poison ivy and insect bites. Vitamin F acts as a rejuvenator for soothing and healing rough and chapped skin.

3.ANTI-AGING BENEFITS

Shea Butter is considered as one of the best anti-ageing and moisturizing agents for skin. It stimulates the production of collagen, the youthful scaffolding protein in the skin. The vitamins A and E found in this butter keep the skin supple, nourished and radiant and prevent premature wrinkles and facial lines. Shea butter penetrates the skin easily without clogging the pores and is effective for dry skin.

4.BABY CARE

Shea butter is an excellent natural moisturizer which is devoid of chemicals. Thus, it is ideal for baby care as besides being gentle and soft on skin, it is specially adapted for delicate and sensitive skin of babies. It can be for after bath application on skin and as also for healing eczema or diaper rash on the skin of babies.

5.LIP CARE

Shea butter is easily absorbable and provides extra moisture and nutrients that are needed during cold season and dry weather. Thus, it acts as a perfect lip balm to protect your lips from cold and dry weather and is effective for treating dry and chapped lips.
