SKIN CARE: 5 WAYS TO ERADICATE DARK UNDERARMS

Do you ever look at those advertising billboards and wonder how the models have such perfect underarms.That is, aside from Photoshop?

Dark coloration of the skin in the underarms region is usually not a disease or medical condition. Dark underarms can be thought of as the skin’s response to exposure to certain elements, similar to a suntan that results from exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays.

Some of the main causes of dark underarms are shaving, regular use of hair removing creams, excessive sweating, poor ventilation of underarms, accumulation of dead skin cells, and use of alcohol-based deodorants and antiperspirants.

You can easily get rid of dark underarms using simple home remedies that are safe, effective, natural and affordable.

However, at times dark underarms may also be as a result of a medical condition that is known as acanthosis nigricans which is often associated with insulin resistance, obesity, hormonal disorders, certain medications, and cancer.

If your dark underarms are caused by this condition then you must consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Here are some natural remedies to smoothen and lighten your skin.

#ForTheLadies : 5 PAIRS OF SHOES EVERYWOMAN SHOULD HAVE IN THEIR CLOSET

Shoes are an important part of every woman’s wardrobe. Having a pair suitable for every occasion is vital. Here are the must-haves in your shoe closet.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic to have your favorite type of shoe in every color? I know I would like that. Now, let’s stop and think about that…
What if your favorite type of shoe is high heels? You surely can’t go mountain climbing with them—your feet would die. But, when you go on a date or spend the evening out with friends, you don’t want to go out in your hiking boots either. For a minute, consider how you would look going out in your finest outfit with a pair of hiking boots or beach sandals or even wearing sneakers with an evening dress. It just wouldn’t fit.

This is why women need shoes for every occasion. However, this does not mean that you need 20 or even 10 pairs of shoes. Let’s have a look at the shoes every woman should have in her closet.

22 Tips on How to Be a Perfect Girlfriend For Your Man

Being perfect isn’t easy, but it’s totally achievable if you know what your guy really wants. Guys have a different perception of what they consider a “perfect girlfriend” to be, but still there’s stuff most of us agree to be good qualities in a girlfriend. Women are not the only one’s looking for their soul mate, “the One” is a guy’s goal too. Apply the 22 tips below so your guy will never ever think of cheating or breaking up, because you’ll be the perfect girlfriend for him.

The list of “Qualities of a Perfect Girlfriend” below is not in any particular order of importance; see which of them are most applicable to your guy’s desires and preferences. There is always something your guy wants, but he is too shy to ask or tell you. Many of these things he wants are listed below, so learning how to be a perfect girlfriend – that he’ll want to flaunt and watch like a hawk – has never been easier.

(Disclaimer: If you’re not interested in being perfect for him – then why did you even click on this article? If you’re offended by reality (men are pigs), go date a guy that’s BUM and he won’t have high expectations of you in return. The reason you should strive for “perfection” (it doesn’t exist, really, but still) is so that you’ll naturally attract a top-quality guy, and then keeping him will require much less effort.)

Think of this “little” guide as your relationship’s insurance policy (and it’s FREE). It’s offensive, but it works.


1. Look Better (Than His Future Girlfriend).

A perfect girlfriend always gives her best to look beautiful for her man. Men are visual creatures. We like a woman that looks good, that’s obvious. So take care of your looks. You don’t have to look like a supermodel – not at all, just look the best you can, use body lotion, have soft, silky smooth skin that he wants to kiss around the clock.

Keep things fresh, and stay as beautiful as you were when you just met – even better, work on yourself to become even more beautiful (physically). You can hate him for wanting this, but that’s a reality. It’s not like you’re attracted to elephants… wait, you are? :/
On the other hand, don’t look good for him, but for yourself. You’ll naturally be more confident and attractive when you feel good in your own skin. If you’re overweight, here’s the “magic pill” of weight loss: stop eating sugar (it’s almost everywhere, especially “healthy” stuff, and super-especially – juices). Yeah, it’s that simple. Just stop eating sugar, not fat – sugar. That’s our real enemy.

Another way to look better (if you’re not born with an unfair advantage of supermodel looks and enough money for plastic surgery), is to build a bigger, rounder booty. Big butts are a trend. Don’t believe me? What planet do you live on, girl? This girl doesn’t need to have a brain, any guy would dump you for her at the drop of a hat. Sad, but true.


2. Smell Like a Flower… Or something like that.

There’s nothing like smelling amazing for your guy. A scent of a woman can make a man fall deeply in love; your smell gets engraved deeply in his mind. He memorizes it. No matter how forgetful he is. Your smell stays. He can recall it and remember you immediately. So make sure you’ve got a signature perfume.

Have a unique smell, a perfume he loves. Use shampoo that he loves so your natural scent makes him melt of love. Coconut, vanilla. It’s so much easier to love your girlfriend if she’s beautiful and gives her best to stay beautiful for you. Don’t get lazy. We get each other for granted, get lazy, fat, dumb. So keep moving. Moving is living.
