Some Things to Try Out For A Clearer Complexion and Flawless Skin

Image
Hi Everyone! You know what having a great skin doesn’t only come from what you put on your skin but from adopting certain habits too. These are some tips i think anyone should try to have a flawless skin 1) Change the way you eat If you are the type that enjoy sugary things , then changing the way you eat should be a welcome development for you. You might not know this but too much insulin in your bloodstream can trigger the growth of pore clogging cells and boost sebum production. Excess Sebum + Dead Skin Cells = Pore Blockage.  So avoid refined sugary snacks and drinks and make the switch from High Glycemic Index foods like white bread and rice to Low Glycemic Index foods like sweet potatoes. eating fruits such as water melon, orange is  definitely a YES. 2) Always Exercise Exercise reduces stress (stress leads to your hormone levels becoming imbalanced, leading to breakouts), and physical activity increases blood circulation which sends more oxygen to your skin cell

Zimbabwe to Make Chinese Yuan Legal Currency After Beijing Cancels $40 Million Debt

Image
Zimbabwe has announced that the country is making plans to make the Chinese Yuan legal tender after Beijing confirmed it would cancel $40 million in debts, Guardian UK reports. One of the country’s ministers, Patrick Chinamasa, confirmed the news, stating, “They [China] said they are cancelling our debts that are maturing this year and we are in the process of finalising the debt instruments and calculating the debts.” Chinamasa is also said to have announced that Zimbabwe will officially make the Chinese yuan legal tender as it seeks to increase trade with Beijing. The report further provides deeper insight into Zimbabwe’s currency woes, and the country’s ‘love affair’ with China: Zimbabwe abandoned its own dollar in 2009 after hyperinflation, which had peaked at around 500 billion percent, rendered it unusable It then started using a slew of foreign currencies, including the US dollar and the South African rand The yuan was later added to the basket of the foreign currenc

Hey Fashion Bloggers These Are 5 Cameras You Should Have !

Image
Since you are into fashion blogging , you can spice it up with photos  as this can really help develop a blog’s voice and make it stand out from every other blog that’s out there.  The blog world has evolved. Taking good photos is important and the first thing you’ll need is a decent camera. It is also good to put in the time to learn the craft of photography. However my quick tip is just to start snapping, try all the settings, experiment. Fear and over-thinking are the biggest enemies to learning how to take pictures. When choosing to invest in a camera, you don’t have to get the top of the line, but if you’re planning on taking your photos seriously, invest in a SLR . You can find great deals for used cameras on sites like B&H, or refurbished on Amazon. Hey, you can even take a chance with Craigslist. SLRs will help you understand how to use light and how photography works. For that reason, most photography classes will require you to get an SLR. They always have. If yo
