    Sauti Sol’s Bien Breaks Down How He Will Spend His Ksh 50 Million

    Over the years the music industry in Kenya has moved from just a source of entertainment for Kenyans to a source of income for artists as well. Sauti Sol lead vocalist Bien Aime Baraza has revealed how he will spend the Sh50 Million handed to him after being signed to Sol Generation.

    Speaking to a journalist, Bien said that he will invest part of the money in the next female artiste Sol Generation will be signing come January 2022.

    “I want to invest that money in the next female artiste that Sol Generation is going to sign. Sol Generation is signing a female artiste in January and she is going to be the biggest artiste in the world and the woman of the moment, so I’m looking forward to that day and I can’t wait,” Bien said.

    On November 5, 2021, the Sauti Sol lead vocalist was unveiled as the newest Sol Generation signer, complete with a Sh 50 million deal.

    What this deal means is that Sauti Sol is signed to Universal and Sol Generation is a label in which Sauti Sol is a director. Bien as an individual was not signed to any entity. I got offers from South Africa, Spain, London and New York.

    As a businessman, I figured that it would not be proper to ask other artists to join Sol Generation if I’m also not willing to put myself on the table. When I sign to Sol Generation the value of the label goes up because of the pedigree of artist I am and the number of years I have put behind my craft,” he said.

    The announcement coincided with the release of Bien’s new EP dubbed Bald Men Love Better, featuring the legendary pianist Aaron Rimbui.

    The musician’s deal will last three years and comes just after Sauti Sol members launched their solo careers.

    Sauti Sol as a group remains signed to Universal Music but Bien joined the Sol Generation roster as a solo artist.

    He joins Bensoul and Nviiri The Storyteller who have been making waves in the music industry with songs like, Nairobi and Niko Sawa.

     Bien also noted that currently the only Kenyan artiste he would wish to work with is Yaba.

    “Kuwork na msee on a collaborative project at the tune of an Album si kama tu collabo za kawaida and ina demand msee akuwe committed to it as much as you are…kuna tu wasanii wenye ningependa kuwork nao na mmoja wao ni Yaba. Yaba is a very good artiste, na sai ako na album inaitwa Rhumbacane go an stream it,” he said.

    The Sauti Sol lead singer also disclosed that the Sauti Sol band was preparing for a mega concert in December in Nairobi, which will provide the opportunity to perform the album Midnight Train to a live Kenyan audience for the first time.

    There is a big announcement we are about to make, I can’t say the date here but in December we have the Midnight Train experience coming up and it will be the first time we will be playing the album on Kenyan soil, we are looking forward to that day heavy,” he said.

    Speaking on the future of Sauti Sol following the launch of the members’ solo careers, the self-proclaimed leader of bald men in Kenya said that another album was in the offing, with the songs already recorded.

  • DIY;  Vaseline Hack to Remove Wrinkles

    DIY; Vaseline Hack to Remove Wrinkles

    How to remove wrinkles; Step by Step Guide

    You may have heard or read that many people apply Vaseline directly to the skin. But, does it actually do something, or is it just a fad? The answer is absolutely yes, Vaseline DOES work for wrinkles, and it works amazingly as well!

    Women are always up to point with hacks which can make their skin soft, make up on point and hair great. Unlike other forms of petroleum, Vaseline is safe to use on your skin and hands. It’s even a favorite for some as a moisturizer.

    You don’t have to wait for wrinkles to appear to begin a healthy skin care routine. The “age” old question: “how can I look younger?”, has baffled thousands of women, but if you do a little research, you’ll find that there are actually many ways you can look younger, erase wrinkles, and tighten the skin all without surgery, Botox, or expensive creams.

    Petroleum jelly microbial activity

    When researchers looked into the microbial activity of petroleum jelly, they found that the substance increases the regulation of peptides on your skin’s surface. Peptides happen to be a popular ingredient in some of the more popular and proven beauty creams and firming products.

    Vaseline itself won’t shrink your pores or treat wrinkles, but keeping your skin moisturized is an essential preventative measure to slow the signs of aging on your skin.

    Is your skin festive ready?  Coconut oil, for example, is a staple in today’s beauty standards for anti-aging, but so is Vaseline! So if coconut oil didn’t work for you, or you just want to try something new, I’ll show you how to use Vaseline to get rid of wrinkles.

    How does Vaseline erase and prevent wrinkles?

    Because it locks in moisture, skin stays hydrated and therefore recuperates and maintains its elasticity. As you may or may not know, moisture is one of the key tricks to keeping skin looking young and wrinkle free. The more moisturized your skin is, the more elasticity and collagen are produced.

    In order for Vaseline to work on wrinkles, you’ll need to use it every day for at least 30 days. Just like with anything, you need to be consistent in your usage. Let’s take a quick look at how to use Vaseline to get rid of wrinkles!

    1. Before bed, remove your makeup and cleanse the skin. Use a homemade makeup remover which will gently remove makeup without harsh chemicals. Follow up with a DIY facial cleanser to remove dirt and impurities.
    2. Apply a tiny amount (a little goes a long way) of Vaseline around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
    3. Don’t rub it in, but rather dab the Vaseline onto your skin, using your fingers as if you were lightly tapping.
    4. Use this method every night before bed to lock in moisture, and you will start to see results within a month’s time.
    5. Your fine lines will start to get filled in, your wrinkles will be less apparent, and skin will look youthful and glowing.

  • Are You In Your Late 30s? Follow These Beauty Tips To Avoid Ageing

    Are You In Your Late 30s? Follow These Beauty Tips To Avoid Ageing

    What every woman should know is that without a proper beauty regimen, you are headed downhill from here on. You’ve heard the importance of taking care of your skin countless times- and just like many, you only find interest in a beauty routine or hack during your mid to late twenties or even worse, once you hit 30! That’s a very bad idea.

    The formula for youthful-looking skin could be as close as your nightstand or medicine cabinet. That’s because using the right skin-care products can make a big difference in your complexion and help avoid signs of aging, like wrinkles.

    We don’t know how to stop the clock, but we can help you fool the cameras and mirrors into thinking you’re a younger you. Here’s some essential tips to get the skin care routine you need.

    1. Use A Gentler Face Wash
    smiling-woman-with-a-face-mask-1296×728-header-1

    When you cleanse your skin, use a gentle touch and formula. Skin tends to get less oily and more sensitive. So even if you still get adult acne breakouts, you may want to use a more gentle face wash instead of a drying acne wash.

    Try MD Complete Anti-Aging Restoring Cleanser & Makeup Remover, a mild face wash that uses essential fatty acids to deliver major hydration and green tea to fight against damage from free radicals — compounds that attack cells.

    Be sure to use a light hand, cleansing in gentle, circular motions. Aggressive scrubbing could irritate already sensitive skin and accelerate aging.

    2. Use A Richer Face Cream

    Beautiful-Black-Woman-Applying-a-Light-Face-Cream

    Because oil glands can become less active as you age, I recommend moisturizing properly to minimize fine lines and wrinkles.

    The simple act of switching your normal face cream for a richer one will help trap water against the skin, pumping up those deep crevices. As an added bonus, smooth the formula down to your neck and upper torso to treat those areas as well.

    3. Watch Out What You Eat

    older-woman-making-salad

    Much of what happens on the outside of your body is the result of what you put in it. It’s important to eat foods that nourish the skin over the years. Avoid anything that can dehydrate, like alcohol. And foods high in sugar and white carbohydrates can actually age you faster by breaking down glucose. Opt instead for more protein in your diet, including foods like fish, lean meats, beans, and legumes to help build strong collagen. I also recommend foods high in vitamin C to keep skin looking youthful.

    Cooked tomatoes are high in lycopene, an antioxidant, and have been shown to fight sunburn and sun damage. Eat more tomatoes if you’ve had a lot of sunburns in your younger years and are starting to see spots and sun damage. Lycopene won’t erase existing spots but can help prevent further damage. 

    4. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!

    With age also comes less sebum. While this means less chance of acne, it also means your skin will dry out more easily. One of the big reasons for fine lines is inadequate skin hydration, but luckily it’s easy to fix with a good moisturizer!

    Look for a moisturizer that contains water-binding humectants like glycerine and hyaluronic acid. An occlusive like petrolatum (commercially known as Vaseline) and mineral oil at night can prevent water evaporating from your skin. But be sure your skin is clean to avoid trapping bacteria!

    5. Protect Your Skin From Trauma

    Beautiful-Black-Woman-with-beautiful-skin

    One of the key reasons wrinkles happen is due to damage to your skin, and since older skin is more fragile, trauma can have larger effects. While there isn’t much evidence on the impact of how you apply your skin care products, studies have found that pressing your face against a pillow as you sleep can cause permanent “sleep wrinkles”

  • Shoe Game: 9 Shoes Every Lady Must Have In Her Collection This Christmas

    Shoe Game: 9 Shoes Every Lady Must Have In Her Collection This Christmas

    For many ladies, having two or three pairs at home has been okay, but that is definitely a bad idea. Being a lady calls for readiness and availability at all times in case any occasion pops up! We are approaching the festive season, this means wedding bells are ringing, party after party mood is in the air, get that leso the kitchens are getting loaded with foodstuffs, and don’t forget the vacation jingles are also here, is your shoes game on point?

    What makes or breaks a look quicker than a killer pair of shoes? Shoes define a person, hence as a lady, you need to have particular shoes in your collection- if impressions matter to you, this is a sign for you to up your shoe game. Ready to hit the mall? Build your ultimate shoe capsule wardrobe with these 9 shoes, and you’ll never feel like you need another pair.

    1. White Sneakers

    A classic white sneaker has the ability to make any outfit look cool, polished, and effortless. We’ve already talked about how you can wear them with just about anything. Once you get a pair you love, it’ll be hard to put any other shoe on.

    2. Black Ankle Booties

    STREET FASHION DURING PARIS FASHION WEEK SPRING SUMMER

    Having a perfect LBB in your arsenal is as important as a good LBD. They can—quite literally—be paired with anything, from jeans and a T-shirt to a casual outfit. Opt for an ankle-high pair in the heel height you’re most comfortable in (1-4 inches). Combat boots also come handy in this category.

    3. Classic Loafers

    The loafer came onto the scene a few years ago and now has us wondering how we ever lived without them. They immediately make an outfit look more sophisticated and put-together, and since they’re completely flat, are a chicer alternative to a ballet flat. If you’re a loafer newbie, a classic black pair is your best bet; if your closet is already stocked with loafers, get a pair in a fun color or print to spice up your basics.

    4. Slide Sandals

    A pair of trusty flat sandals will never disappoint. There’s nothing better than having a chic slide sandal that you can slip on any time the weather’s warm without giving much thought to it. They’re the upgraded, adult version of your Old Navy flip flops.

    5. Knee-High Boots

    Over-the-knee boots go in and out of style as the years come and go, but a boot style that’s always a good choice? One that hits just beneath your knee. They can be paired with anything from your favorite Spanx leather leggings to a short skirt, and always add more to an outfit than any short boot could. Opting for a pair in either leather or suede will ensure that they’re timeless enough to be worn year in and year out.

    6. Neutral heels

    There’s nothing worse than having a wedding coming up and needing to run out the night before because you don’t have heels to pair with your outfit (just me?). Pick a pair in a shade that will match with as many of your evening dresses as possible. Having a pair of heels (that you can walk in) in a neutral color that you can wear to any and all heel-worthy events is a rite of passage as a woman, and it’s better to get one pair you really love than a poor-quality pair you have to keep replacing (I speak from experience).

    7. Strapy Sandals

    A good pair of strappy sandals is arguably the most versatile form of warm-weather footwear—you can wear them with anything from denim shorts and a T-shirt (Diani Beach here we come) to with a dress to a wedding. They’re wearable, versatile, and will add a little “oomph” whenever you need it.

    8. Chunky Heels

    Show off your great toe nails! Even with a great pair of nude heels on your shoe rack, you’re likely to have events pop up here and there where you want a heel that gives you a little something extra—even if you aren’t a heel girl. For events where you’re wearing something neutral and don’t want to look like you’re heading for a meeting, a pair of chunky heels is the solution.

    9. Ballerina Flats

    Ballerinas will never go out of style, and they are comfortable enough to wear all day long. They are suitable for long distance travel too. If you are planning on going to shags this December, purpose to have these comfortable Ballerina flats in your shoes collection.

    6. High-Low Dress

    8. Peplum Dress

You can switch things up a bit by opting for a plunging neckline or keep it fresh and sexy with a turtleneck.

    11. Shirt Dress

    Keep it cool and casual with a shirt dress. This style comes in different lengths, and sometimes has a nipped in waist. The focal point of a shirt dress is the collar and button-down front. It’s super easy to dress up or down, grab some chunky ankle boots or sneakers and you’ll be ready for a night out or a night at the beach!

    12. Ballgown

    Be the belle of the ball with a ballgown! This style comes in many different forms, from a princess silhouette, with a prominent poufy skirt, all the way to the mermaid silhouette. A ball gown is a dress to wear when you’re ready to make a real entrance, and wow the whole room!

    13. Mermaid Silhouette Dress

    A style of a ballgown, the mermaid silhouette is the perfect dress for a black tie occasion. If you have an hourglass or pear-shaped figure, opt for the tight-fitting silhouette. For column-esque bodies, you can go for a profile that’s a bit looser on the waist and hips.

    14. Cocktail Dress

    As the name suggests, a cocktail dress is a choice for a schmaltzy party or drinks at the bar. A cocktail dress is a blend of formal and casual, it hits just at the knee and is perfect for cocktail dress code events. This is a versatile dress, with different necklines and silhouettes, so you can find the ideal dress to suit you.

    15. Denim Dress

    When you’re not in the mood to squeeze into your jeans, slip on a cute denim dress! This casual-cool style is effortless, chic, and suitable for many occasions.

    18. Asymmetrical Dress

    An asymmetrical dress is an excellent option for those who aren’t sure of the formality of an event or party. There are so many variations of asymmetrical dresses that flatter any body shape!

    19. Bandage Dress

  • Bedroom Talk: S*x Myths You Thought Are Facts

    Bedroom Talk: S*x Myths You Thought Are Facts

    When did you pop your cherry?” ‘You must bleed when you first have sex to prove you were a virgin’ “You’ll go blind if you masturbate!” ‘Too much sex itakufanya mtaro‘ “Oh, and maybe put your sex life on the back-burner if you want to wow your colleagues at next month’s sports event.” Do these phrases sound familiar?

    Deciding to have sex doesn’t have a specific time, and neither does it have a specific formulae. If you don’t feel ready, you’re not ready. You may not feel ready until you meet someone you trust and are comfortable with, and it’s the next step in your relationship at a time that’s right for both of you.

    If you have played the game telephone growing up, then you know what happens to clear information when you’re only allowed to speak about it in whispers: The truth gets jumbled as hell. Myths wouldn’t be a thing if we made accurate information about sex and sexuality accessible to young people.

    Everyone’s heard their fair share of sex myths, especially during their teenage years. Unfortunately, though, some myths might persist well into adulthood, affecting the way we relate to our sexual lives. Here, we debunk some of the most widespread misconceptions about sex.

    1. Menestral sex reduces crambs

    The likelihood of becoming pregnant after period sex depends largely on how long your menstrual cycle is. In most women, the menstrual cycle lasts for approximately 28 days. Usually, 3-5  of those days are taken up by their period, during which unfertilized eggs, or “ovules,” and uterine lining are eliminated. So, if you do plan to ease those menstrual cramps by having sex, you may wish to consider using a condom.

    2. Masturbation is bad for you

    In case there were still any doubts, there are absolutely no links between your genitals and your eyes, so try as you might, you won’t lose the gift of vision just by exploring your nether bits sometimes.

    “Let’s say, as a man, every single time you masturbate you only give yourself a few minutes from first touch to ejaculation. That may condition you to those few minutes, so when you’re with a partner and you want to last longer, that may create problems for you.”

    Teesha Morgan

    3.  Boys don’t need to worry about contraception that is the girl’s responsibility

    The decision to have sex is a joint one. You might believe your girlfriend is on the pill or taking other contraception, but this is only effective if taken correctly. Also, the only way to protect against a sexually transmitted infection (STI) is by using a condom.

    If a penis is in a vagina and ejaculates semen there, no matter where that happens, there’s a chance of pregnancy.

    4. STI tests are only for those who sleep around

    Anyone who has unprotected oral, vaginal and anal sex can catch an STI, so it’s always best to practice safe sex. It’s not always possible to tell if someone has an STI, and they might not even realize themselves if they don’t have any symptoms. Yearly tests are recommended, or each time you want to sleep with a different partner.

    5. If he ‘pulls out’ when he ejaculates, she can’t get pregnant

    Before a boy ejaculates, there’s sperm in the pre-ejaculatory fluid, which leaks out when he gets an erection. It only takes one sperm to get a girl pregnant. If you have unprotected sex, you’re at risk of pregnancy and of catching an STI. Be ware! Always use protection!

    6. There’s no male birth control

    It’s true, a male pill is still in the works. But men actually have one of the safest and most accessible forms of birth control easily at their disposal: the beautiful, flexible, STI-and-pregnancy preventing … condom!

  • Speaking About Erectile Dysfunction With Your Partner

    Speaking About Erectile Dysfunction With Your Partner

    Do you give your partner an opportunity to respond and ask questions? Do you speak about the DOs and DON’Ts of your sex life? Have Erectile Dysfunction ever rang a bell? Are you comfortable with how your partner performs in bed? Are you confident that you satisfy her?

     Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex. It can be a sign of a physical or psychological condition. It can cause stress, relationship strain and low self-confidence. The main symptom is a man’s inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse.

    This has become a major blow to many relationships. When you finally get a man and jump in ecstasy that you are officially off the market, erectile dysfunction (ED) is never on the table. It never comes in mind that it can be an option. When he starts treating you right and each day you fall more in love with him than the other, you never expect that such a sweet man can have this problem.

    I will tell you about my encounter with a man who had erectile dysfunction. I met this guy, we will call him John Doe, at my sexual prime age. He was the man from my dreams, a gentleman, a good listener, always there for me, and willing to wait till am ready for the sex (Let us be honest ladies, we all want this man). When i finally was ready to let him taste the waters of my well, i find out that he has erectile dysfunction! I was disappointed, angry and most importantly horny. And yes, i walked out and never came back because who am i kidding? My sexual urge is above the waters so i can’t deal with an ED. I never spoke about it with him, and that is the biggest regret i have today. (I know you all want to know how i calmed my waters that day, but follow Ctone Media and i will tell you guys about it)

    That aside, there are so many questions that pop up when you talk about erectile dysfunction especially with your partner. If he is experiencing ED and unlike me, you stayed and you are in this together, then you definitely wanna read the answers to some of your questions below:

    Can a relationship survive erectile dysfunction?

    Yes! In many cases, ED is treatable. A range of effective treatments can restore sexual function, thereby improving satisfaction in a relationship. A doctor can help couples understand their options, and they will often encourage both partners to attend appointments.

    How do I talk to my partner about erectile dysfunction?

    Erectile dysfunction can be difficult to understand if you haven’t experienced it yourself. DON’T assign blame or make excuses:

    1. Explain your medical condition in a clear and truthful way. …
    2. Discuss treatment options with your partner.
    3. Explore alternative techniques to receive sexual pleasure.
    4. Keep the lines of communication open.
    5. Consider couples counseling.

    ED is a medical condition, not a sign of weakness. DO tell your partner how they can be supportive and how they can help you.

    How do couples deal with erectile dysfunction?

    Try not to focus on your ED when you’re getting intimate with your partner. Instead, enjoy the time you have together. Deep breathing exercises may help you relax. Massage techniques may also bring you simple pleasure and relaxation through touch.

    Can a man with erectile dysfunction get a woman pregnant?

    Yes, it’s possible to become pregnant ANYTIME you have unprotected sex. Even though you only had intercourse for a few seconds and your bf did not ejaculate and release “semen”, it’s possible that “pre-ejaculation” was released. Pre-ejaculation or “pre-cum” is a fluid that can contain sperm from previous ejaculations.

    Most of the time, men with erectile dysfunction aren’t able to have sex and therefore cannot get their partners pregnant. However, if you’re able to maintain an erection long enough to have sexual intercourse, you may still be able to get your partner pregnant.

    At what age do guys have trouble getting hard?

    The most common sexual problem in men as they age is erectile dysfunction (ED). In general, the younger a man is, the better his sexual function will be. About 40% of men are affected by erectile dysfunction at age 40, and nearly 70% of men are affected by ED by the time they turn 70.

    Is erectile dysfunction a reason to break up?

    It’s a tricky subject and a lot of guys are not comfortable owning up to performance problems in the bedroom, which makes addressing and treating erectile dysfunction (ED) a minefield of sorts. It can cause stress, shatter a man’s self-confidence and contribute to the breakdown of a relationship

    What is the main cause of erectile dysfunction?

    The main causes of erectile dysfunction include psychological and health conditions, medications, trauma and lifestyle factors. Penile erection is a complex process in which the brain, nerves, muscles and blood vessels play a major role. In addition, hormones and emotions are at work.
