The term bearded lady or bearded woman is a woman who has a visible beard. These women have long been a phenomenon of legend, curiosity, or ridicule. A relatively small number of women are able to grow enough facial hair to have a distinct beard. In some cases, female beard growth is the result of a hormonal imbalance (usually androgen excess), or a rare genetic disorder known as hypertrichosis.

Kim Kardashian West and her husband Kanye West have welcomed a baby girl. Kardashian West shared the news on her website and verified social media accounts early Tuesday. She announced the good news in a blog post which simply read, “She’s here!”
Kim and Kanye used a surrogate because she has placenta accreta … a life-threatening condition that created serious complications during the birth of her second child, Saint.
Congratulations to the Wests on their exciting new arrival!
New Year’s Eve……..Instead of spending loads of Ghana Cedis on champagne cocktails and a party outfit I might wear only once, I thought why not turn off phones, lock all the doors and spend the evening at home with few friends and love ones. NOT because I hate fun, but because I hate the inconvenience of hundreds of strangers flooding the streets, the bars and clubs, all in the name of having the BEST NIGHT EVER. Don’t get me wrong, yes, I want to have “fun,” and yes, I want to take a nice picture for the ‘gram’ but I can do that literally any night of the week, if I so choose. You dig?
So I spent my new year’s eve with a group of crazy friends (good crazy) just talking, sipping on some drinks, eating; smoking some sh**t and just dancing to our fav tunes of that year. I had met some of them that very night but the vibe was good which made the night even more fun and yet calming and soothing. We all were looking forward to the new year and positive that it is gonna be great.
We had a countdown when it was almost 2018 and when it was exactly 12 AM, there was an eruption of cheers and fire works all around us. We all took turns hugging and the usual new year wishes. Being in a penthouse we all filed onto the balcony to see the incredulous fire works going on. Our British friend who had come down for the holidays was totally smitten and I was so damn proud at that moment that I am a Ghanaian, ah! we sure know how to celebrate.
Later, we stepped out to see whats going on in town and we ended up at Plot 7 club for about an hour and drove back to the apartment. We ate some more and hanged for a bit just talking till we all went to get some shut eye at 6 in the morning.
For me, hanging with different people from different parts of the world, exchanging ideas, networking and having mad fun is the bomb! Especially when you all connect on that level. Positive Vibe is very important.
That’s how I spent my New Year’s Eve so now tell me how you spent yours by leaving your comments in the comment section below.
Gone are the days when there was no air refresher, body odor spray, tooth paste, fridge, water filters etc. how did our grand parents survive that era? It is important to know right from the get-go that activated charcoal is not the same thing as charcoal for your grill or charred wood from the fire. Please don’t try to substitute or make your own!
Here are some benefits of activated charcoal
Teeth Whitening
Have your teeth become stained from coffee, tea, wine or berries? Activated charcoal helps whiten teeth while promoting good oral health by changing the pH balance in the mouth, helping prevent cavities, bad breath
To whiten your teeth naturally, wet a toothbrush and dip into powdered activated charcoal. Brush teeth as normal, paying special attention to areas showing the most staining. Sip a bit of water, swish through mouth thoroughly and spit. Rinse well, until spit is clear.
For best results, brush your teeth with activated charcoal two-three times per week.
Note: If you have crowns, caps or porcelain veneers, it’s possible that activated charcoal will stain them. also, if your teeth become sensitive, quit using it.
Odour Prevention And Stain Removal
Activated charcoal is fabulous at absorbing odors, which is one reason it’s used in air filters and even in certain wound care situations where odor becomes an issue. It also serves as stain remover.
Water Filtration
Activated charcoal also helps remove contaminants from water. It is used in the Berkey system that our family used for years and even in most water pitcher systems. The 14-stage filter we have now also uses charcoal to filter water
Poison and Toxin Remedy
Activated charcoal is sometimes used to help treat a drug overdose or a poisoning.When you take activated charcoal, drugs and toxins can bind to it. This helps rid the body of unwanted substances.
When used along with other treatments, activated charcoal may be effective for an acute poisoning. But it is not useful in some cases, including poisoning from:
Cyanide
Lithium
Alcohol
Iron tablets
Alleviates Gas & Bloating
One activated charcoal use often overlooked is to alleviate uncomfortable gas and bloating. It works by binding the gas-causing byproducts in foods that cause discomfort.

In this era of ours where photos play a key role in our social lives.We can’t go unconcern with the photos we put out for display. Lets get some simple ways we can kill the shots we take.
Firstly of all, you must know that photos are not only about the person in it but also the background. If you didn’t know now you can reflect on it, all the good photos you see have great backgrounds.You can wear the most beautiful outfit and have the best grooming but without a qualifying background, you can’t kill that photo.
If you want to get a wow photo, then you’ve got to forget your problem, because when you’re stressed, that is exactly what is seen in the photo and no one likes to look at such photos. Before you take a photo,try your possible best to relax. Also drink plenty of water. It does work.
Practice has always made one perfect. So if your goal is to have a wow photo,then your mirror is your companion in achieving it. Stand in front of the mirror and try all poses and you will surely find the one pose that works for you.It also builds your self confidence which makes it easy to have that wow photo.
Lastly,when taking a photo don’t be static,move and be playful and have fun. Don’t forget the best shot will be selected after so don’t bother over which pose to give which makes the whole experience boring and time consuming and also try to be interactive with the photographer.
Most a times,we perceive women who marry men who are many years older than them with different notions. Well,you may not be all that right. Here are some reasons why some prefer the older men for marriage.
1.Maturity:older men are mature and can handle them better than the younger ones in terms of understanding them.
2.Cheating-free marriage:Older men don’t often cheat on their wives as compared to the younger men.And every woman’s dream is for her husband to love her alone.
3.Security:Women always love to be protected and feel secured with whoever they’re
with.Older men make women secured in providing them their needs so that they don’t lack.
4.Trend sake:Many young men marry not because they’re really ready for marriage but want to follow fashion of marrying at a young age and for the glamour of weddings of late,which makes them not be good husbands.
5.Bad fatherhood: Most young men are terrified when babies begin to show up in the marriage,they then begin to fight for attention with the children from their wives and don’t have knowledge on how to bring up children in the conducive way.
