How to Get Fair Skin Naturally

<i><b>If you want to lighten your complexion, there are natural remedies that 
you can try to brighten your skin a few shades. Since many commercial 
creams are ineffective or unhealthy to use, turning to natural methods 
to get fairer skin is a smart choice. A common household ingredient — 
lemon juice — works especially well to lighten skin tone. Staying out of
 the sun and using natural facial masks will also keep your skin from 
getting darker. To learn more about getting fair skin using only natural
 techniques, see Step 1.</b></i><br />

<i><b class="whb">Protect yourself from the sun.</b><b>
 Most of the normal darkening and discoloration of your skin is caused 
by exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. If you're extremely 
concerned about having fairer skin, staying indoors will keep your skin 
as light as possible. When that's not possible, protect your skin use 
SPF sunblock with a minimum SPF of 30.
</b></i><ul>
<li><i><b>Most dermatologists agree an SPF 15 is not sufficient anymore. 
Dangerous UVA and UVB rays are still reaching your skin. You want 98% or
 more of the sun's rays to be blocked.</b></i></li>
<li><i><b>Wear a hat to protect your face when you're outside. Especially in 
the summer. There are so many fashionable hats these days, you can also 
be a trend-setter while you are protecting your skin.</b></i></li>

<div class="step">
<i><b class="whb">Exfoliate your skin a few times a week.</b><b> Doing manual 
exfoliation can really help to lighten the skin, since the process takes
 off dead skin cells. Keep in mind that exfoliation only helps if your 
current skin is darker than your normal skin tone, because it reveals 
fresh skin that is untouched by the sun.
</b></i><ul>
<li><i><b>You can exfoliate your skin manually by using a body scrub or face 
wash with exfoliating particles. To make your own, just add a teaspoon 
of ground almonds or oatmeal to your regular cleanser.</b></i></li>
<li><i><b>Using a scrub brush or a dry brush is a great way to exfoliate your 
entire body. For your face, use a special brush with softer bristles so 
you don't damage the fragile skin there.</b></i></li>
<li><i><b>There are also exfoliating machines, such as the Clarisonic, that 
dig a little deeper to thoroughly remove the top layer of skin.</b></i></li>

<i><b class="whb">Be realistic with your expectations.</b><b> Skin that is 
already naturally dark is very hard to lighten more than a shade or two,
 especially using natural methods. Keeping your skin healthy by 
protecting it from the sun, exfoliating and using natural lightening 
methods is your best bet for keeping it on the lighter side in tone. 
Remember that consistency is the key, and do your facial treatments 
several times a week.

Should You Go on a Second Date?

There are a few important things you should consider before going on a
 second date. While it’s crucial to give your date a second chance, you 
can easily save yourself a lot of trouble and time if you know it’s best
 to start looking for another guy. You don’t want to be on a date 
wishing you’d stayed home, right? Think over these things before you say
 ‘yes’ to a second date just to make sure you’re really on the right 
track and with the right guy.<br />
<img alt="Important Things to Consider Before Going to a Second Date" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16714" height="356" src="http://cdn2.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Important-Things-to-Consider-Before-Going-to-a-Second-Date.jpg" width="500" /><br />

<h3>
1. Is a guy interested in you?</h3>
If a guy is not interested in you, it’s better to say ‘no’ to a 
second date. Maybe he was interested in talking about himself and he 
didn’t listen to you. Sure, talking about yourself is an important 
thing, but if you couldn’t say a word and he didn’t show interest in 
getting to know you better, it’s a warning sign to consider.<br />

<h3>
2. Are you interested in him?</h3>
Are you interested in that guy? If your first date was boring and 
unbearable, you may not want to go on a second date. Definitely, you 
might believe in a second chance and it’s wise, but if you’re sure that 
you are not interested in him, it’s better to politely decline a second 
date. You are not rude and selfish. You just want that guy to find a 
better girlfriend than you are. <br />

<h3>
3. He took a second date for granted</h3>
Did he take the next date for granted? If so, there’s no reason to 
say ‘yes’ to a second date. Don’t show a guy that you are interested in 
him, if he didn’t show he’s interested in you. Say ‘no’ and if he likes 
you, he will try again. But if he won’t, move on.<br />

<h3>
4. Do you think a second date will be boring?</h3>
Do you think a second date will be boring? If you have other plans, 
it might be a great decision to say ‘no’ to another date. This is the 
best option than letting him think that the relationship is going 
somewhere. You can also say that you would like to go out with him, but 
to spend time as friends. <br />

<h3>
5. Did he treat you with respect?</h3>
Even though everyone has different standards, and you might not like a
 guy that is a gentleman, he must treat you with courtesy and respect, 
at least. Keep in mind that guys are at their best when they’re dating 
and this is especially true for the first several dates. So, if the guy 
treated you badly on the first date, be sure to say ‘no’ to a second 
one. <br />

<br />

Do you like the plans for your second date? If your answer is ‘no,’ 
don’t hurry to turn down a date. If you are interested in that guy, why 
not suggest something else? Tell him about things you would like to do 
and if he likes your ideas, it’s a great opportunity to enjoy the date. <br />

<h3>
7. Did you have fun on your first date?</h3>
This is the last thing you should certainly consider before you go on
 another date. If your first date was boring and you didn’t have fun, 
you might want to avoid a second date. You know, ladies, dating is 
supposed to be fun and interesting. If your date wasn’t interesting, 
there’s no need to go on date with this guy. <br />

Don’t say ‘yes’ to a second date, if you don’t like the guy. Life is 
too short to spend it dating the wrong guys. Are you ready to go on a 
second date? Do you think dating a wrong guy is a huge waste of time?

10 Best Spring and Summer Workouts

<b><i>Though statistically we fail miserably at keeping our New Year’s 
Resolutions to get fit, there’s still hope around springtime. Study’s 
show that when you begin a few months after January, you’re not only 
more likely to keep your fitness goals, but it’s also easier to get 
motivated (due to better weather and the thought of fitting into a 
bathing suit during the warmer weather, I suppose). </i></b><br />

<b><i>This year, there are some very intriguing exercises that are perfect 
for getting uber-fit and toned with stronger and leaner muscles. The 
theme of this year’s best fitness workouts are based on one word, “FUN!”
 No one wants to do boring workouts anymore. People want something that 
will be fun and that keeps you motivated to go back and do it again and 
again.</i></b><br />
<b><i>
These 10 workouts for spring and summer are just that – super fun, 
electrifying, challenging and will whip your body into shape in no time 
flat.</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVaivYg9QrvjDyeESjnKjNDF6V-tuem5R8jDuliL9JtCIXZQNZ71NEz-5-KwOBc1QSRHQxy7_aaAhlYcfY-R9YwWvvgHDB1NiVRD6DN_ni8ePtovaglzllNIh9ochD2CLzwb6Q_A_dVQww/s1600/Best-Spring-and-Summer-Workouts.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVaivYg9QrvjDyeESjnKjNDF6V-tuem5R8jDuliL9JtCIXZQNZ71NEz-5-KwOBc1QSRHQxy7_aaAhlYcfY-R9YwWvvgHDB1NiVRD6DN_ni8ePtovaglzllNIh9ochD2CLzwb6Q_A_dVQww/s1600/Best-Spring-and-Summer-Workouts.jpg" width="400" /> </a></i></b></div>
<h2>
<b><i>1. AntiGravity Fitness</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="AntiGravity Fitness" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-272815" data-wp-pid="272815" height="363" src="http://cdn2.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/AntiGravity-Fitness.jpg" width="500" /> </i></b><br />
<b><i>Possibly
 the most visually mesmerizing form of exercise is AntiGravity. Think 
Cirque Du Soleil meets yoga. You’re basically hanging from a hammock 
like sheet that provides resistance and makes use of your body weight to
 strengthen muscles. It not only stretches and tones, but it’s also so 
much fun. Added bonus: hanging upside down makes you feel like a kid 
again and provides ample blood flow to the brain for enhanced cognitive 
function.</i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>2. Playcore</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="Playcore" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-272809" data-wp-pid="272809" height="333" src="http://cdn2.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Playcore.jpg" width="500" />Springtime
 often comes with great weather. If you’ve lost motivation working out 
inside a gym, try these essentially “adult playgrounds” that are 
springing up nationwide. They are typically found in outdoor community 
parks and have various pulleys, bars and stationary workout equipment. 
These are not the old school bars and benches from the ‘80’s. They are 
new, high-tech, fun fitness equipment and programs that you can do alone
 or with workout groups that are making use of Playcore as well.</i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>3. Animal Flow</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="Animal Flow" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-272814" data-wp-pid="272814" height="367" src="http://cdn2.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Animal-Flow.jpg" width="500" /> </i></b><br />
<b><i>Animal
 Flow takes yoga and blends animal-like movements with a capoeira-esque 
feel. From the “Beast” to the “Crocodile,” this new intriguing form of 
exercise gets you in ‘play-mode’ and is a really incredible workout.</i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>4. Pound Fit</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="Pound Fit" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-272810" data-wp-pid="272810" height="331" src="http://cdn2.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Pound-Fit.jpg" width="500" />If
 you love music, drumming and fitness – meet Pound Fit. Created by two 
female drummers who infused workout movements with drumming to birth an 
innovative and upbeat fitness routine. The “drumsticks” have a little 
heft to them which act as semi-weights that strengthen not only your 
arms but also directs the impact directly to your core. The joy of 
drumming makes you forget that it’s actually a workout and you’re left 
feel elated.</i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>5. Paddleboard yoga</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="Paddleboard yoga" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-272808" data-wp-pid="272808" height="333" src="http://cdn2.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Paddleboard-yoga.jpg" width="500" />This
 may not be for everyone, but if you love the ocean, surfing and yoga – 
this may be perfect for you. You definitely want to start with a 
certified instructor as this can be challenging, but the results on the 
body are phenomenal!</i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>6. Tonique</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="Tonique" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-272812" data-wp-pid="272812" height="333" src="http://cdn2.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Tonique.jpg" width="500" />This
 upiddy workout was created by a sweet, fun-loving mother from Poland 
named Sylwia Wiesenberg. Her enthusiasm for life and fitness is 
motivation for many women to live the ‘Tonique lifestyle.’ Sylwia aims 
to empower and motivate women to be confident and live a healthier 
lifestyle through Tonique. Tonique was inspired by movements from 
Sylwia’s background in gymnastics and involves multi-directional 
movements that target muscles that are not typically hit so hard. The 
workout involves an excruciating 30-40 reps per side, but the results 
are unbelievable!</i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>7. Interval Yoga</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="Interval Yoga" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-272807" data-wp-pid="272807" height="333" src="http://cdn2.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Interval-Yoga.jpg" width="500" />We’ve
 all heard of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), but when it’s 
combined with yoga, it makes for a complete and whole body workout. Yoga
 Instructor, Ali Kamenova, known for Interval Yoga has posted an 
impressive array of classes on youtube that involve often slightly 
shorter sequences to keep you motivated. She also throws in movements 
that are pretty unique that increase both flexibility and boost your 
heart rate, causing major calorie burn. </i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>8. Tabata</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="Tabata" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-272811" data-wp-pid="272811" height="334" src="http://cdn2.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Tabata.jpg" width="500" /> </i></b><br />
<b><i>Tabata
 was created by a Japanese scientist named Dr. Izumi Tabata and his team
 of scientists from the National Institute of Fitness and Sports in 
Tokyo. Tabata is HIIT training, but on “steroids.” His plan is simple, 
workout super hard in 20 second bursts, then rest for 10 seconds. Tabata
 is an amazing workout if you have a limited amount of time for 
exercise. It’s also scientifically proven to have a greater impact on 
both aerobic and anaerobic systems.</i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>9. Acro Yoga</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="Acro Yoga" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-272813" data-wp-pid="272813" height="364" src="http://cdn2.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Acro-Yoga.jpg" width="500" />This
 “partner yoga” of sorts is a way to deeply connect with another while 
establishing trust and a profound bond. This play between two 
individuals strengthens and stretches the body, but also is so much more
 fun than a solo workout routine.</i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>10. Buti Yoga</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="Buti Yoga" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-272806" data-wp-pid="272806" height="333" src="http://cdn2.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Buti-Yoga.jpg" width="500" />Some
 people argue that you need to compliment a yoga practice with a 
separate cardio workout. Not anymore with celebrity trainer Bizzie 
Gold’s Buti Yoga. It combines tribal dance with yoga and plyometrics to 
create a high-intensity workout that will definitely get your inner-fire
 burning at maximum capacity. With this form of yoga, you won’t need to 
add in any additional cardio because it involves lots of dance movements
 that will cause you to sweat like no other.</i></b><br />

10 Popular Health and Diet Myths Busted

<b><i>At some point, both dieters and healthy eaters have to deal with 
false health and diet myths. The health press tends to come up with 
fascinating theories about what’s good for you and what isn’t. You can’t
 believe in them all, though, because many of them are myths. If you 
can’t achieve your weight loss or health goals, you should start looking
 for the reason why it’s so hard for you to stay slim and healthy. Test 
your knowledge with the 10 health and diet myths that follow.<br /><img alt="Untrue Health and Diet Myths" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-202" height="320" src="http://cdn6.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Untrue_Health_and_Diet_Myths.jpg" width="500" /></i></b>
<br />

<h2>
<b><i>1. MSG is terrible for health</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="MSG is terrible for health" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-187" height="333" src="http://cdn6.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/MSG_is_terrible_for_health.jpg" width="500" /> </i></b><br />
<b><i>Many
 people aren’t clear about what MSG or monosodium glutamate is – they 
just have a feeling that it’s bad because they’ve seen the labeling on 
fast food packaging declare MSG-free contents. In reality, MSG, which is
 added as a taste enhancer, is only bad for you if you are allergic to 
it. However, MSG avoidance as a general rule is a good idea for a 
different reason, since it is often a sign of a highly processed food, 
staying away from it helps you stay away from processed foods.</i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>2. High-fructose corn syrup is worse than white sugar</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="High-fructose corn syrup is worse than white sugar" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-188" height="333" src="http://cdn6.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/High-fructose-corn-syrup-is-worse-than-white-sugar.jpg" width="500" /> </i></b><br />
<b><i>High-fructose
 corn syrup is often vilified in health articles. This sweetener is said
 to be so bad for health that it makes white sugar look good. In 
reality, though, while HFCS is bad for health, it isn’t much worse than 
sugar – it only contains about 5% more fructose. With HFCS, too, 
avoidance is still a good idea because it is reliable sign of highly 
processed foods that are unhealthy in other ways.</i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>3. If you don’t poop every day, you have a health problem</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="If you don't poop every day, you have a health proble" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-200" height="333" src="http://cdn6.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/If_you_dont_poop_every_day_you_have_a_health_proble.jpg" width="500" />Some
 people have completely regular bowel movements; they have to go each 
day, first thing in the morning. This kind of schedule, though, is no 
healthier than any other. Warnings that irregular bowel movements are a 
sign of poor health make no sense. If you need your bowel movements to 
tell you something about your health, you should consult the Bristol 
stool chart of poop consistency. It can be a better indicator of health 
than regularity.</i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>4. When you nuke your food, you nuke the nutrients</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="When you nuke your food, you nuke the nutrients, too" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-190" height="333" src="http://cdn6.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/When_you_nuke_your_food_you_nuke_the_nutrients_-too.jpg" width="500" /> </i></b><br />
<b><i>In
 general, microwaving food doesn’t result in destroyed nutrients. It 
does happen in some rare cases, though. Broccoli, for instance, contains
 a cancer-fighting nutrient called sulforaphane that doesn’t stand up to
 microwaving. The effect isn’t exclusive to microwave ovens – the 
nutrient is destroyed by any kind of cooking.</i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>5. When you burn 3,500 calories, you lose a pound</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="When you burn 3,500 calories, you lose a pound" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-193" height="333" src="http://cdn6.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/When_you_burn_3500_calories_you_lose_a_pound.jpg" width="500" /> </i></b><br />
<b><i>Losing
 weight can be complex. People often oversimplify what they see to get a
 handle. Oversimplification is the problem with trying to put an exact 
number on the number of calories you need to burn to lose a pound. In 
reality, you may need to burn anything between 2,000 and 5,000 calories 
to lose a pound.</i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>6. You can tell how well your weight-loss plan is doing by weighing yourself</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="You can tell how well your weight-loss plan is doing by weighing yourself" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-192" height="333" src="http://cdn6.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/You-can-tell-how-well-your-weight-loss-plan-is-doing-by-weighing-yourself.jpg" width="500" /> </i></b><br />
<b><i>Taking
 comfort in seeing a drop in your weight when you step on the scales 
isn’t entirely logical.  For every pound you lose, only a small part is 
likely to be fat. The rest of it is water. You also need to take into 
account the fact that when you exercise, you may put on muscle in place 
of fat – something that your scale will not register as a change. It’s a
 much better idea to track your progress by measuring your body fat 
percentage.</i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>7. Foods that you eat too late at night fatten you</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="Foods that you eat too late at night fatten you" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-194" height="338" src="http://cdn6.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Foods-that-you-eat-too-late-at-night-fatten-you.jpg" width="495" /> </i></b><br />
<b><i>Some
 people believe that if you eat past 8 p.m., you won’t have time to burn
 the food off. It will then have time to settle down in your system and 
turn into fat. In truth, when you eat your meals has nothing to do with 
how fattening it turns out to be.</i></b><br />
<br />
<h2>
<b><i>8. Pasta is fattening</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="Pasta is fattening" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-195" height="332" src="http://cdn6.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Pasta_is_fattening.jpg" width="500" />Pasta
 is feared by people who are weight-conscious because it contains 
carbohydrates, something that certain diets warn against. However, 
avoiding carbohydrates can result in malnutrition – many important foods
 contain it. While it’s a good idea to avoid loading up too much on 
carbohydrates, it’s important to include them in your diet, in 
moderation.</i></b><br />
<h2>
<b><i>9. You can lose weight with coffee</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="You can lose weight with coffee" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-196" height="333" src="http://cdn6.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/You_can_lose_weight_with_coffee.jpg" width="500" /> </i></b><br />
<b><i>The
 coffee weight-loss theory goes on the idea that caffeine has the 
ability to suppress your appetite and boost your metabolism. While these
 claims are true, they do exaggerate. The appetite-suppressing and 
metabolism-boosting gains are so small that they aren’t able to make a 
difference to those hoping to lose weight.</i></b><br />
<div class="entry-content">
      <h2>
<b><i>10. Milk can be slimming</i></b></h2>
<b><i><img alt="Milk can be slimming" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-201" height="333" src="http://cdn6.amerikanki.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Milk_can_be_slimming.jpg" width="500" /> </i></b><br />
<b><i>The
 belief that milk can help you lose weight comes from studies done 10 
years ago that found that people who consumed dairy experienced fewer 
weight problems than those who did not. Other studies, though, have 
found no such link.</i></b><br />

<b><i>New health and diet myths seemingly come up every day. It can be one 
of the worst things you can do to your health to take every one of them 
seriously. You owe it to yourself to vet every idea thoroughly before 
you take it up. Did you believe in any of these health and diet myths? </i></b><br />

24 Pictures From Around the World That Will Make You Re-Evaluate Your Entire Life

<b><i>They say a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, they

Osinbajo Promises Teachers Free Tertiary Programmes

<br>

<i><em><strong>Nigeria’s
 Vice President-elect, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, says his administration 
will give teachers across the nation access to free tertiary programmes.</strong></em></i><br>

<i>Addressing a gathering of members of the Nigerian Union of Teachers 
(NUT) in Lagos on Wednesday, Professor Osinbajo emphasised the need for 
regular training of teachers in order to raise the standard of education
 in Nigeria.</i><br>

<i>“One of the basic problems that we have is the fact that we have not 
continued with education for teachers – teachers training in particular.
 That is why this consultation is very important. It is only the 
beginning of the consultations that I intend to have,” he said.</i><br>

<i>Professor Osinbajo said the administration of the President-elect, 
General Muhammadu Buhari, is determined to improve the education and 
health sectors.</i><br>

<i>“I asked the Governor for this opportunity because of the very great 
importance that the Buhari administration will place on education.</i><br>
