ndeed referring to the last couple of months as crazy would be a huge understatement! From nationwide lockdowns to masks becoming an essential or fashion accessory- depending on your tilt, we’ve all had to adjust. The advent of spring thus comes as a welcome relief.

something every fashionista should attempt and be able to pull off. Practice makes perfect, keep at it so you horn the skill of mixing patterns seamlessly. Some crucial pointers below on how one can ace it; • Mix dark floral prints with lighter ones. For maximum visual impact create balance between the light and dark prints. For instance, a lighter print bottom can be striking with a dark floral top. •
It is crucial to stay within the same colour of family. As long as the prints have one colour in common you can match the colour but NOT the print.
•
Mix your small, ditsy print with large spaced out print.
•
Do not limit yourself to one pattern or print. Mix your floral with geometric prints, animal prints with flowers, polka dots with stripes and so on!

BEAUTY BUZZ We take a glimpse at what’s hot and happening in the world of beauty. Roll-ons deliver a controllable amount of product. Most of the time, they also deliver a larger amount of active ingredient to your underarms than spray deodorants. Almost all of us use deos as they help in subsiding body odour caused by bacterial breakdown of perspiration.Antiperspirant deodorants decrease the production of sweat by blocking the pores.
COCOA BUTTER AS A MOISTURIZER: High in fatty acids, which is touted for its ability to hydrate and nourish the skin and improve elasticity, the fat in cocoa butter forms a protective barrier over skin to hold in moisture. Cocoa butter is also rich in natural plant compounds called phytochemicals.These substances may improve blood flow to the skin and slow skin aging by protecting against damage from the sun’s harmful UV rays. One common use of cocoa butter is to smooth scars, wrinkles, and other marks on the skin. Cocoa butter has also been promoted to heal rashes from conditions like eczema and dermatitis. Rub cocoa butter starting at the driest areas. If you have combination skin, avoid rubbing the cocoa butter on oily areas. Massage it in until fully absorbed. club

Even though you’re at home, don’t take exercise too casually. Be creative at home: If you don’t have gym equipment at home, don’t fret.With a little imagination, items like cans as weights, towels as resistance bands, and stairs can be your cardio machine. Even children can offer added weight during resistance exercises. Many great exercises don’t require equipment, save for your own body. Burpees, lunges, squats, push-ups and sit-ups (to name a few) can combine for quite an effective workout.Also, don’t forget cool-down stretching to exercise your flexibility.

Live Health
SPF PROTECTION If your skin would normally burn after 10 minutes in the sun, applying an SPF 15 sunscreen would allow you to stay in the sun without burning for approximately 150 minutes (a factor of 15 times longer). This is a rough estimate that depends on skin type, intensity of sunlight and amount of sunscreen used. SPF is actually a measure of protection from amount of UVB exposure and it is not meant to help you determine duration of exposure.

TALK BACK TO YOUR INNER VOICE. Everyone has an inner voice, i.e. the way you talk to yourself in your head or out loud. But sometimes that voice can be cruel—even though it’s ultimately dictated by you. It can tell you that you’re a failure or convince you to stress about something that you have absolutely no control over. Most people have a loud inner critic which makes their life more stressful.Learning to have a reassuring and soothing inner voice can make a big difference in improving your mental health. Obviously that’s easier said than done, but here’s a good place to start: When your inner voice is giving you really crappy freedback and advice, stop and consider how you would talk to your best friend in this situation.Then try to adjust your inner voice to talk like that. club October

Keep in mind that certain fruit juices may be almost as bad as soda in this regard, as they sometimes contain just as much sugar. Their small amounts of antioxidants do not negate the sugar’s harmful effects.
Live Health PROBIOTICS & FIBER The bacteria in your gut, collectively called the gut microbiota, are incredibly important for overall health. A disruption in gut bacteria is linked to some of the world’s most serious chronic diseases, including obesity
DON’T DRINK SUGAR Sugary drinks are among the most fattening items you can put into your body. This is because your brain doesn’t measure calories from liquid sugar the same way it does for solid food. Therefore, when you drink soda, you end up eating more total calories. Sugary drinks are strongly associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and many other health problems.
DON’T FEAR COFFEE It’s high in antioxidants, and studies have linked coffee intake to longevity and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, and numerous other illnesses
Good ways to improve gut health include eating probiotic foods like yogurt and sauerkraut, taking probiotic supplements, and eating plenty of fiber. Notably, fiber functions as fuel for your gut bacteria
MENTAL HEALTH Healthy living involves more than physical health, it also includes emotional or mental health.The following are some ways people can support their mental health and well-being.: Do some mind exercises (read, do a puzzle occasionally during the week).Try to focus on a process intensely and complete a segment of it over 1 to several hours, then take a break and do something relaxing (walk, exercise, short nap). Plan to spend some time talking with other people about different subjects.. . club

Located in the area between Shangani and Gweru, north of Bulawayo, each tells a fascinating story of the rise and fall of the rulers of this era during the 17th and 18th centuries.
WHY TRAVEL LOCALLY? 1.The majority of your travel budget will go on both airfares and accommodation costs. Saving the cost of airfare means you have money for fun activities and perhaps can treat yourself to a boutique 5-star hotel. 2.Trips away can be more spontaneous, and you can travel when you feel inclined to do so. Imagine deciding Friday night that you really want a weekend away. Travel locally and you can! 3.Travel locally and it is amazing what you can discover about your neighbourhood and your country as a whole.You will discover places that you have only previously read about. 4. If you have a busy lifestyle or a heavy workload in your job, it is easier to fit in extended weekends.This is especially true of last minute plans to travel.
