  • Revenge Cheating: What You Need To Know About It

    Revenge Cheating: What You Need To Know About It

    Relationship conflicts

    What is revenge cheating? This is the first question that pops up in our mind when you came across this piece. Is what am doing called revenge cheating? Well, let me shine some light on that. Revenge cheating also known us retaliatory infidelity is one of the ways to deal with an unfaithful partner and this is why it’s worth considering. Psychologists will give you theories about revenge cheating: well am not one, i will tell you that revenge cheating happens when one party who was ‘supposedly‘ in a romantic relationship, cheats and as we all know, hitting back is always the answer; thus revenge cheating.

    They say revenge is a dish best served cold, and when a man decides to cheat on you, that’s the only option. But women don’t often know how to get back at a cheating partner without getting hurt in the process. If your man is cheating on you and you can’t find the best revenge dish to serve him, worry no more! Here is a list of your comeback:

    • Befriend his ‘Mpango wa Kando‘

    No one runs mouth like a ‘mpango wa kando‘, especially when she is drunk in love with your man. She will give up all their meeting points and daily activities. In befriending her, its not just the information you will get, this also increases the probability of your man dumping her. Men don’t like being exposed! Cheating is fun when its a secret, but when its all out, trust me, your man will want to quite! So don’t start a raging war with his side chicq, make her your friend.

    • Share his dirty linen everywhere

    He cheated, let the cat out of the basket! This is the worst comeback you can use, especially when you’re completely done with him and the relationship. Don’t expect him to forgive you for airing his dirty linen, so if you are having second thoughts about the relationship, DON’T use this revenge plot!

    • Date one of his friends

    Ever heard of the famous saying “Tit for Tat is a fair game”? Well, it really is a fair one, if he cheats, cheat back! And poke where it hurts the most: Date one of his friends. Wake up the sleeping bear in him and let him have a taste of his own medicine,

    • Break his car’s windscreen

    We all know that your heart cannot be compared or measured to his car’s windscreen, your heart is priceless! So he broke something fragile you own, get that bat and break something fragile he owns too. Make him feel the pain by digging into the deep depths of his pockets, and don’t forget to crash his side mirrors too, it comes with the package.

    • Use the little blue pill

    He has shown you that clearly, he doesn’t know how to keep his pants up, teach him a lesson. Be ware men! She will serve you the little blue pill and ensure you have a 24/7 erection. What better way than showing him that experience is the best teacher?

    • Play the pregnant card

    This card is only applicable if you are afraid of losing him to the other woman. Most men would like to refer to it as the ‘desperate card‘. I know mapenzi ya watu wawili hufai kuingilia, so if you love him and doesn’t wanna loose him, play this card, and get yourself pregnant if you have to to conceal the secret, and make sure you follow Ctone Media for more information about faking a pregnancy and the best ways to come clean without being caught!

    • The silent treatment

    They say words are the strongest weapon you own, but they forgot to say silence is an even stronger weapon. Talking will expose your plans, pains and desires, but the silent treatment will conceal everything. Truly, a silent killer is worse than a murderer. Silent treatment is like poison, it will kill him slowly but in the most painful way you can think of.

    • Walk away

    Every woman is different in their own way, i have supported the ‘drama queens’ and ‘silent murderers’. If you are not into causing drama, just walk away. They say men are like wild animals, all you have to do is find your beast and tame it. If you can’t, then you know it was never meant to be.

  • Life Mistakes You Need To Hurry Up And Forgive Yourself For Making ASAP

    Life Mistakes You Need To Hurry Up And Forgive Yourself For Making ASAP

    Many people try to live by the motto of ‘live without regret’ but it is almost inevitable that someone will regret at least something from their past. In some cases, that regret can make it very difficult to keep moving forward with their life. They dwell on the past and suffer the regret daily.

    In order to live a life of progress and growth one must learn to forgive one’s self and look towards the future rather than be consumed by regrets of the past. By not spending as much time thinking about material objects we’re freed up to think about, and act on the more substantial, meaningful parts of life. This is the perfect time to finally forgive yourself.

    1. Places you never went

    Many people neglected opportunities to travel while they were financially and physically able. It’s time to get off your duff and see what’s out there. Even on a budget there are many fascinating and often free things to explore in your community, in your state, or across the seas. Just because you didn’t go before doesn’t mean you can’t get out there now.

    2. Jobs you didn’t take                   

    Consider that the job you regret not getting (or going for) might not have been right for you. If your gut instinct was to refuse the job at the time, or if too many things pointed to you not going after it the job at the time then trust that you made the best decision you could at the time. If you still have career regrets, now is the time to consider what you really want to do with your work life and find a way to get it done.

    3. Money you wasted

    Money regrets are often one of the biggest regrets anyone has throughout their lifetime. In order to move on from the mistakes you’ve made before, you have to make a commitment to not letting history repeat itself. Start today by getting your finances in order and on the right path. Complacency about money matters will only prolong your regret. Take the Get Out of Debt Pledge and get on track this very minute!

    4. Time you wasted

    Whether your regret wasting years of your life or just the few hours you could have been more productive, you can stop the insanity and get serious about how you spend your time. There are a lot of distractions out there that can cause you to procrastinate.

    Start limiting your TV time, your computer time, and the other elements of your life that are guaranteed time wasters and instead seize the day every day. (You might like this post: Dramatically Increase the Quality of Your Life)

    5. Friends you hurt

    Hurting people you love can be devastating especially if you can’t admit your role in the situation. If it is too late to make up with the person you hurt, make a commitment to practicing more kindness in your life to prevent another hurtful situation. Learn to walk away from the drama that is so prevalent in society today. We all know, life is too short.

    6. Friendships lost

    It can be difficult to lose your best friend over the years. People grow and change and may longer be the right fit into each other’s lives. If you lost a friendship that you regret, try reaching out to see what happens. If the other person does not respond, respect that. Work on being a better friend to those still in your life.

    7. Love you lost

    Love is often one regret people find it impossible to get over. Sadly, many people end up with additional regrets while mourning the loss of a past love (infidelity, lies). You must be willing to accept the life you have created for yourself and realize what you do have to be grateful for every day. If the road to rekindling a relationship are free and clear, don’t let fear or regret hold you back. Take the risk and see where love can take you.

    8. Opportunities you missed

    They say opportunity only knocks once so if you missed answering the door to an opportunity in the past, ask yourself what is stopping you from creating newer, better opportunities. Figure out why it is you passed up the chance the first time around and be honest with yourself.

    Get over past regrets by searching for the next opportunity and going after it full force.

    9. Family discord

    Part of what makes up a family is the process of fighting and then forgiving. In some families the fighting seems unforgivable and many live years under the weight of a grudge. If you regret a long-lasting family squabble, be the first to make amends. Be prepared for what may result – good or bad. Rest easier knowing you did what you could to correct your mistakes. It’s sad to see or hear about families who get torn apart by seemingly stupid arguments. Don’t let your ego stand in the way.

    10. Incomplete education

    If you dropped out of school in the past, you may regret what you’ve missed out on by lacking the education you wanted. The good news is that in this day and age there are so many new ways to get educated, you can do better. Online courses, community colleges, and trade schools are much more accessible than in previous years. Contact the admissions office of the school you’ve been considering and get started on creating a better life for yourself.

    11. Parenting mistakes

    If you are a parent, there is likely at least one thing you regret about how you handled your kids. You may have one big regret (your child was seriously hurt when you weren’t paying attention) or a series of daily regrets (you lost your patience again!). Whatever the regret, know that no parent is perfect. Your family will love you for who you are. Get recommitted to spending quality time with them, listening actively, and doing what you have to in order to keep your family safe, healthy, and happy.

  • We’ve All Been There! 4 Ways To Recover From A Drunk Text

    We’ve All Been There! 4 Ways To Recover From A Drunk Text

    There is nothing worse than waking up and realizing you sent a drunk text that you shouldn’t have. The sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach when you can tell the text has been read, but not responded to, is enough to make you want to start drinking all over again. Your thoughts start racing and palms sweating, and you beg the universe that you are still deep in your intoxication-induced sleep and the whole thing is just a dream. Unfortunately, it almost never is.

    In any drunk texting situation (assuming the night didn’t end with sex, a serious talk, or both) there are really only a few things you can do to recover. In college, I picked up the habit of literally putting my phone in the freezer when I didn’t want to look at it — when I had somehow embarrassed myself with an outgoing text and didn’t feel like dealing with the aftermath. It was a great ploy for avoiding reality for a little (and a great excuse to periodically take bites from a pint of Ben and Jerry’s while “checking my texts”), but not exactly the best or most mature way to deal with the problem at hand.

    I know, I know; waking up to an outgoing drunk text makes you want to throw your phone across the room (I’ve actually done this, and broken it), hide your head under a pillow and pretend it never happened. While that can certainly help you feel better in the moment, there are a few alternate ways to handle the situation that will ultimately help you recover in the long run.

    1. Acknowledge That You Were Drunk Texting, And Now You’re Embarrassed

    First things first: You have to own up to what you’ve done. In fairness, anyone who receives a text after 2 a.m. with their name misspelled, a winky face or the phrase “whererrrrrru” (all one word, always) probably knows that it was sent by someone who was drunk and trying to get into their pants. Make a joke (something along the lines of “Woah! Looks like drunk me really wanted to see you last night, huh?”) to diffuse the awkwardness. Personally, I’m huge fan of sending that cute little monkey emoji with its hands over its eyes as a message that says, “I’m embarrassed, I’m sorry, and I’m hoping you’ll find this adorable and endearing and that we can laugh it off.” It almost always works.

    2. Apologize

    Genuine apologies are only necessary in certain drunk texting situations — most of the time, your embarrassment is penance enough.

    But if you’ve texted someone who you know will take the messages the wrong way (like an ex whose heart you’ve recently broken), you’ve got to suck it up and apologize. Or if you’ve sent an angry or mean text, you need let the recipient know you’re sorry, especially if you said things that sober you didn’t mean. If you’ve really done something unforgivable, offer to talk it through in person (but be wary of this when it involves an ex) and do what you can to fix the situation.

    3. Lie

    This almost never works, but if you’ve really screwed yourself (for example incessantly texting new love interest to come over and lick your face),

    I say deny ‘til you die‘. Pretend your friend took your phone, that you acted on a dare, or that you lost your phone in a cab — anything to relinquish you of responsibility. If you can actually pull this off, you’ve officially won at life.

    4. Ignore The Situation Entirely

    I know I said this wasn’t the “mature” way to deal with things, and once you’ve sent a drunk text you can never truly take it back, but if you’ve really dug yourself into a hole and following up will only make things worse, delete the conversation, pretend it never happened, and move on with your life.

     Delete their number, too (really delete it, not just the secret “fake delete” thing you can do on an iPhone) to avoid it happening again, then take yourself out to brunch. You’re bound to be feeling pretty traumatized (and probably pretty hungover, too) and deserve a pick-me-up in the form of banana chocolate chip pancakes.

  • Love Looking Classy? Inspiring Living Room Decorating Ideas You Should Try Out!

    Love Looking Classy? Inspiring Living Room Decorating Ideas You Should Try Out!

    If you’re into pop psychology, you’ve likely heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a questionnaire designed to help you understand your personality type better. Inspired by a conceptual theory  based on the idea that human experience is governed by four principal psychological functions: sensation, intuition, feeling, and thinking. Once you figure out your personality type (there are 16 possibilities) through taking the test, it’s fun to learn more about how your type perceives the world, and how they might behave in certain situations. Below, our expert tells you how to decorate your home, based on the defining traits attached to your type.

    Bohemian

    You have a tendency to live life carefree and enthusiastically, so styling your home with bohemian decor is a perfect fit for you!

    Bohemian styles are mostly known for using rich patterns and vibrant colors, and even attempt to make the decor look a little “messy,” which you can appreciate as someone who enjoys living life boldly and slightly chaotically. There are endless potential combinations with boho style, so you can find something that truly fits your personality. It’s also easy to rearrange and mix things up when you’re in need of a change.

     Shabby Chic

    You are a gentle, caring soul who comes off as a little reserved at first until people truly get to know you. You have a tendency towards soft things and day dreamy aesthetics, so a shabby chic style home is ideal.

    Shabby chic tends to focus mostly on white or pastel shades that make the rooms feel open and bright, which really resonates well with your desire to welcome people in and get to know them better. Vintage furnishings and distressed patterns help make up this style too, which line up well with your old soul vibe.

     Eclectic

    You’re excitable, love a challenge, and are known to definitely break some rules in order to be your most authentic self. This makes an eclectic style easy for you to pull off.

    Eclectic decor is well-known for incorporating contrasting elements throughout each room in order to make a statement, while still creating a cohesive style. But there is a fine line between achieving an eclectic style and haphazardly throwing different styles together in a room. However, with your tendency to live life a touch chaotically and your ability to thrive in an ever-changing environment, you can tackle the challenge of achieving this look.

     Traditional

    If you’re an ESFJ, traditional style is right up your alley; it incorporates sophisticated aspects and intricate details that are incredibly visually pleasing and inviting.

    It caters to all that you love: being social and getting everyone together, and anything with a classic vibe to it. This style will really allow you to show off your penchant for classic art and focal pieces as well as create a welcoming environment for the countless guests you’ll want to bring into your home.

    Transitional

    While most people might assume you’re more reserved, you have a strong desire to form deep and intimate connections with people you trust. At the same time, you also long for a place where you can retreat to when you need to be alone.

    This makes a transitional-style home a great fit for you. Transitional styles tend to be easily confused with contemporary ones, however this style easily flows between current styles and ones from the past. The open layout typically found in transitional homes allows you to live unrestricted. A house decorated and styled this way enables conversation and connection. It will be easy to make it feel like a safe haven for you and a welcoming home for guests.

     Modern

    You’re a no-nonsense type of person and you like your environment to be structured and organized.

    A modern style home is a great place for an ESTJ. This style is defined by its lack of chaos and clutter; it focuses on the more essential aspects of the home rather than trying to crowd it with accessories. Therefore, this is a perfect match. Modern homes provide a very sleek and simple atmosphere, which is exactly how you like it.

  • Debunking 7 Internet Beauty Hacks That Were Found Harmful

    Debunking 7 Internet Beauty Hacks That Were Found Harmful

    Information on the internet ranges from truth to fiction to intentional misinformation. It’s important to develop a critical eye towards everything you read. Not all the information on the Internet should be trusted. Some tips just won’t work, but some can actually be harmful. In order for us to stay safe, Ctone Media collected these “anti-tips” that should not be followed.

    Don’t trust any single source on its own — at least not until you’ve developed your own sense for just how accurate, reputable, or authoritative it happens to be. Even after that, it’s smart to remain skeptical. We evaluated beauty life hacks from different internet sources and came up with 7 hacks that are harmful to you. If you are doing any of these hacks, STOP with immediate effect!

    1. Transparent nail polish for concealing lip herpes

    You’d better not follow this tip because nail polish applied to such a rash may cause irritation or aggravation. Purchase a special cream in the drugstore, and carry it with you.

    2. Home lip plumping

    Perhaps this notion comes from our childhood. We all did it: stuck our lips into a glass and sucked the air in. However, instead of Kylie Jenner or Angelina Jolie-style lips, you’ll get a horrible blue circle around your mouth.

    3. Using hair spray to fix your makeup

    People say hair spray works well not only on the hair but also on the face as a makeup fixation solution and a pore tightener. Of course, it doesn’t work. The components of hair spray may cause skin irritation and rashes affecting you thus not a beauty hack. Choose a product that will work for your skin type and lose the desire to use extreme tips.

    4. Raw potato for oily skin

    No doubt, the potato is a useful product, but do not apply it to your skin. Some substances contained in potatoes may fill the pores and cause acne. There are a lot of special oily skin care products — choose one for yourself.

     5. Lemon juice for getting rid of freckles

    Freckles are commonly referred to as dark spots. This may come in handy, but only if you are not allergic or sensitive to the sun. However, these are the properties of light skin that is normally covered with freckles. It is safer to buy a cream with vitamin C.

    6. Colored pencils instead of eyeliners

    No matter how cool this idea may seem to you, don’t try it. The components of colored pencils are dangerous for the mucous layer of our eyes. Anyway, you can find special eyeliners in every color nowadays.

    7. Nail polish as eyeliner

    This is an absolute no. Nail polish contains so many chemical components that may severely damage the eye. Why would someone apply nail polish to their eyes if the bottle says “Keep away from eyes“?

    Conclusion

    This is thicker than it sounds. All of your friends re-posting a mistake on social media doesn’t make it correct.

    You must confirm for yourself by tracing back to the source. If a hundred different places all trace back to a single source, then it’s really only a data point of one. If those hundred different places track back to a couple of separate original sources that independently confirmed or arrived at the same conclusion, that’s a fantastic data point — of two. Depending on the situation and the sources, it might be enough.

  • Unbelievable: Kenyan Celebrities Reactions Towards Eric Omondi’s Response After Being Called Deadbeat Dad

    Unbelievable: Kenyan Celebrities Reactions Towards Eric Omondi’s Response After Being Called Deadbeat Dad

    Eric Omondi breaking the ice a few hours ago on his reason for being referred to as a deadbeat by Jacque Maribe has seen several household names share their take on the issue. Eric is now vacillating between listening to what his counterparts have to say and what he actually thinks is right.

    Sam Ogina, Eric Omondi & Jacque Maribe are trending due to the conspiracies surrounding the siring of 7 year old son being taken care of by Jacque.

    We’ve come to learn that Eric is actually in doubt on whether he’s really the biological father of Maribe’s son; owing to the sentiment that Eric claims he only had a one night stand with Jacque after a few drinks.

    Well, Maribe claims that Eric is the dad and should man up and take responsibility of his son- which according to Maribe, hasn’t been the case for years.

    The conspicuous comments on Eric Omondi’s post after divulging that it was a one night stand that got Maribe pregnant’ have seen many people advice him differently.

    Wild Reactions

    The allegations have since attracted numerous reactions from celebrities; some of who have claimed Eric should take responsibility of her son.

    Sarah Kabu had her say on the paramount issue as she wrote;

    ”@ericomondi you are my good friend and am also ur greatest fan too! but not paying school fees and upkeep for your child and making fun about it live on camera isn’t funny at all. Am heart broken for Jackie please man up now and take responsibility as i know u make good money with ur comedy. We are living in hard times bana”

    Comedian YY came to Eric’s rescue over Kabu’s sentiments as he wrote back;

    ”Vacation walienda kufanya nini kama tangu mtoto azaliwe hakuna kitu mwanaume amefanyia mtoto…she publicly praised eric this time…Walisifiana kwa posts…What was the difference then?….Ladies,If you feel a man isn’t being responsible and you tolerate them for your own pleasure,you become an accomplice”

    Maribe also scolded Eric on a live interview with Mungai Eve for not helping her in raising their 7 year old son. On the flipside, Eric refutes the claims of being a deadbeat dad. Who do you believe in this?

    Sam Ogina went ahead to tweet about how disappointed he is about Erick Omondi dragging his name all over social media.

    For avoidance of doubt, this is me and Njeri at the same party in 2012. Eric had for long eyed Njeri and he has never gotten over the fact she has chosen me and we are married. Erick, provoke me further and i will release the disgusting skeleton pictures you used to send her.

    The President of single mothers; Esther Akoth has admonished Eric not to go for the DNA test that he was demanding, but to accept responsibility- being the biological father or not.

    ”Eric wachana Na DNA ,us women / mothers decides who father’s our children hata kama Sio Yako ,tumekuchagua ,wewe lea tu mtoto ni wetu sote”

    The fact that Akothee has experience in single parenting, she went ahead to also advice Maribe to take responsibility  by herself.

    ”Jacky wewe pia chukuwa majukumu kama mzazi ,ignore Eric omondi and take charge of your child’s life ,you will have peace , huyu jamaa atakutoa figo ukose pumzi ya kutafuta ,I am speaking to you as a single mother of 5 children.”

    Now, after several celebrities having a say on the issue, Kibe is of course one of them. He has scolded the two for including the kid in their argument.

    ”Hakuna kitu mbaya mtoto ku-grow up na rejection. A kid is going to grow up with rejection just for your own f*kin likes… Because you want to prove to us that you’re never wrong; you’re always right. You’re asking for a DNA. Does it matter? The kid is the mix bro… You guys have disrespected that child… Mtoi ata grow up akifkiria nini?… Eric that was a weak move. I have no respect for the two of you… You are horrible parents.”

    After all the comments, it’s needless to say that Eric and Maribe should definitely have a talk on how to resolve this issue.

    It means that maybe you should use some products in different ways or that with the help of some tricks you can make your makeup last longer. It will certainly be helpful to remember these beauty hacks, make them a routine and beat every beauty obstacle.

    Vaseline

    Make up trends hero

    The shape of the eyebrow is very important and affects the overall appearance of the face. If your eyebrows are “disobedient” or are curled, you will easily “tame” them by applying a small amount of vaseline. After that, just brush them with a brow brush.

    Coconut oil

    Hair is one of the most important concerns of every woman, and permanent painting, ironing or curling destroys the hair. Before washing your hair, massage the scalp with coconut oil and let it work for three minutes. Nutrients from this oil will feed hair and make it shiny and healthier.

    Cold water

    For the flawless tan, hydration is necessary. Dermatologists advise you to wash your face with cold water at least twice a week, as hot water opens the pores, which are then more easily filled with bacteria.

    Beauty hack: Mascara is the perfect eyeliner

    You go to work and you realize that you have spent eyeliner. Don’t worry, if you have mascara you can solve the problem! If you have an eyeliner brush, simply grab a little mascara and apply above the eyelashes.

    Perfect lips

    Sexy lips include a clearly defined upper lip. You will achieve this with the use of a lip pencil. If you want some correction, apply a little powder or corrector on your lips, and then draw a line to correct it. Of course, this doesn’t have to differ much from your natural lip line.

    Interesting nail polish

    If you are tired of always having the same nail polish, you can make it look more interesting with simple tricks. All you need are patches! After applying one color of nail polish, cut the hollow part without wadding and stick to the nail. Then coat it lightly in a different color, wait for it to dry and remove the patch. Cute dots are here!

    Let the perfume last longer

    If you want to keep the fragrance of perfumes longer on the skin it is necessary to apply it immediately after the shower as the humidity of the body will help in this.

    Make the dark circles disappear

    Place two spoons in the freezer for five minutes, and then gently place them on the eyes for a few minutes.

    Lips peeling

    To make your lipstick stand longer on your lips, you must prepare them. Make a mild peeling with a toothbrush and then some lip balm on, and you can even make a natural product for peeling with sugar, a little lemon juice, and coconut oil. Tasty and effective!

    Now, admit that you liked these genius tricks so much that you wish you knew them earlier?

  • Top 10 Hottest Fashion Trends of 2021-2022

    Top 10 Hottest Fashion Trends of 2021-2022

    Following the weirdness of 2020-2021 fashion trends – with online business meetings, 2022 is expected to bring some refreshing changes you’ll love to hear about.

    For the last 60 years or so, the ‘latest’ fashion trends were gathered from runways and fashion magazines.

    Nowadays, it is the social media, youth culture, streetwear styles, and celebrities dictating and showcasing what’s cool and fresh in fashion.

    To a certain extent, the fashion trends of 2020-2021 didn’t help much – in the sense of inspiring the general public.

    But, in contrast to the apocalyptic settings the fashion industry was going through in 2020, 2021 brought to light fabulous social media-driven digital trends & aesthetic clothing, aiming to lift you up from the depths of quarantine.

    And, compared to the neutral looks of 2020, this year showcased fresher and bolder looks, in part driven by a need to come back to ‘a normal life’ and in part by the blossoming TikTok fashion culture.

    Popular fashion and clothing trends in 2021

    Like most new fashion trends, the more you see it the more you begin to accept it and potentially even like it.  In this episode of UNFUSED, we break down how this trend emerged along with a few successful looks you can pull off. This was a competitive list to pull, but we finally came up with the hottest fashion trends of 2120- 2022:

    1. Hoodies Under Blazers

    The blazer with a hoodie? Yeap! It’s legitimately a thing now! A blazer with a hoodie?  Come on, right?  To some, the phrase itself is an oxymoron.  Two dueling clothing articles that have no place being seen or worn together.  We know some enthusiasts will lament the slow erosion of formal, traditional menswear for “athleisure” or casual attire.  We get it.  Regardless, wearing a blazer with a hoodie is no longer just another street style but a transcendent, mainstream look.

    2. Power Bohemian Florals

    So flower power is back in fashion, but not in a Laura Ashley nostalgic way; some are calling the trend hippy modernism or new boho.

    The background is key when it comes to wearing floral print – it’s either light and fresh or dark and wintry, and that’s key to incorporating print into an existing wardrobe

    3. Color Clashing

    How to mix and match colors in your outfits

    Color is one of the essential elements of many designs. It keeps the viewer’s interest, draws the eye, and makes elements stand out. Contrast is one of the basic principles of design because it tends to draw the eye to an important element of a web page or print design, creating a focus of attention. Contrast doesn’t just mean contrasting colors; it exists in line widths, textures, color intensity, shapes, font sizes, and other elements, too.

    4. Tractor Trek-Sole Boots

    Terrific editorial boot, but the sole is clownishly massive. … I don’t know how you could drive your car, though, while wearing these without having an accident, but who is asking? They’re made in Italy from polished leather with a logo-debossed round toe, elasticated side gussets and a heel pull. Wear them to bring a utilitarian slant to your style.

    5. Chunky Loafers

    The chunky-sole trend infiltrated all the types of footwear, so seeing chunky loafers as one of the hottest trends of this spring wasn’t a surprise. There are many ways to wear such loafers everywhere, from work to everyday, take a look!

    If you follow fashionistas on Instagram, you might have seen some bold and trendy looks with such loafers: a sweatshirt or a hoodie with a pleat skirt and these loafers. Another hot idea is wearing them with jeans, a shirt or a tee and a cardigan or a leather jacket. I like to think of them as Otile Brown’s signature look.

    6. Dark Academia

    Dark Academia has its roots in the preppier style we all recognize as pleated skirts and cardigans but draws on gothic influence for a darker, more antique look. Think Harry Potter meets Greek culture and arts with a hint of thrifting as a personality trait. The result is vaguely reminiscent of playing dress-up with your grandpa’s old clothes while also carrying an iced coffee and a MacBook. Dark Academia represents everything glamorous and distinguished about higher education.

    7. Hot Goth

    Leather chokers and thick-soled combat boots don’t exactly scream “summer”, but if you’re a goth, it’s likely these are staple pieces in your wardrobe all year round. While non-goths might retire their darker clothes once spring has sprung, it’s not so straightforward for dedicated goths. Goths are for life, not just for Christmas! 

    8. Y2K Fashion

    The Y2K era was the nickname for the decade following the year 2000. This name began in the late 90s, thanks to the increasing popularity of the internet and the worldwide technology boom. In the lead up to the year 2000, there was some concern that calendars wouldn’t be able to format the date properly following 1999 – it is commonly referred to as the Y2K bug. This era in fashion reflected technological advancements, seen with silver clothing, futuristic fabrics, and collections inspired by films like The Matrix. The Y2K era is also characterized by oversized flared pants, platform shoes, designer logo prints, and small accessories.

    9. Wide Leg Pants

    Wide legged pants are definitely back in 2021 fashion trend. I personally love wider pants which can be a very good choice of trousers for many women over 40 and short legged women like me, as flared pants are very leg lengthening when they fit well at the top. If you have a bit of a belly or muffin top (as many of us over 40 women have) then wide leg pants do a great job to cover them.

    10. Loud Logos

    Believe less is more? Then consider yourself a fan of quiet luxury. Love the look of logo-centric brands? Then you’re likely a fan of loud luxury. Whether you love quiet or loud luxury, it speaks volumes as to your social aspirations and is a key profiling trick that luxury brand marketers use to tap into their target audience.

    “Why I Only Date Married Men,” Aunty Boss’ Actress Silprosa Reveals

    Sandra Dacha, popularly known as Silprosa in NTV’s show Aunty Boss has recently revealed through her Instagram page reasons why she is into married men.

    According to her, married men are the only ones shooting shots at her. She noted that single men are afraid of her because they don’t meet her standards financially.

    The plus size model has constantly asserted that she cannot date broke men, she is a queen and thus wants someone who will treat her like one.

    Silprosa claims that she is always broke and thus wants someone with money since she cannot bring herself to supporting a man.

    “I have never been in a position to support a man financially. I’m always the broke one in the relationship,” Claimed Sandra Dacha.

    It is unfortunate that the people who are supposed to be celebrities are promoting immoral behaviors such as ‘gold-digging.’ However, everyone is entitled to their opinion and mine is just to report.

  • How To Create A Daily Routine That Will Change Your Life Forever

    How To Create A Daily Routine That Will Change Your Life Forever

    Aristotle is credited with saying these 15 famous words. And for most of my life…I didn’t believe him: The importance of having a routine.

    Having no routine or structure is so much more draining mentally, physically, and emotionally than any routine could ever be!

    By not doing the things I knew would make me better habits like exercising, meditating, and creating gratitude lists I deprived my body and mind of the energy that these types of positive activities create. I felt tired; inside and out. And to make matters worse, my dreams and goals were just slipping away.

    Letter To My Fellow 20s

    Why Create a Routine?

    Establishing a positive daily routine is both a self-investment and a way to do your best for the rest of the world.

    It also provides additional benefits, such as giving you structure, building forward-moving habits, and creating momentum that will carry you on the days when you feel like you don’t have the strength to carry yourself.

    Following a daily routine can help you establish priorities, limit procrastination, keep track of goals, and even make you healthier.

    Here are some of the things you can do in your daily routine to reach higher mental levels (i.e. more brain power and clarity!):

    1: Optimize Your Mind

    A successful daily routine helps you achieve laser-like focus from the moment you wake up in the morning…to the time you close your eyes and drift off to dreamland at night. Here are some ways to get it:

    > Get positive:

    Start your day with a mantra. When you develop a positive attitude, you will start feeling better about yourself.

    You will treat yourself with more respect and love, and this in turn will boost your confidence levels and inner strength. You will take on new challenges and come out of your self-limiting beliefs.

    > Be proactive:

    Don’t check your email first! Being proactive allows you to dictate your particular position and supplies a sense of control over whatever situation you may be facing.

    Essentially, your pro activity will enable you to be more prepared. When you are proactive you are able to think and act ahead before your circumstances change.

    > Mentally prepare:

    Visualize your success. Mental preparation allows the athlete to manage his stress, decrease fears “the athlete warmed up mentally and physically will be more efficient, from the beginning of the effort.”

    > Read a book (Even if it’s just a page).

    Reading is good for you because it improves your focus, memory, empathy, and communication skills. It can reduce stress, improve your mental health, and help you live longer. Reading also allows you to learn new things to help you succeed in your work and relationships.

    > Make yourself accountable:

    Enlist a partner or mentor. Holding yourself accountable is important because it allows you to prioritize your goals and better understand the reasons you have them. You can use accountability strategies to motivate yourself and learn more about your work process.

    > Make a daily to-do-list.

    One of the most important reasons you should use a to do list is that it will help you stay organised. When you write all your tasks in a list, they seem more manageable. When you’ve got a clear outline of the tasks you’ve got to do and those you’ve completed, it helps you stay focused.

    > Give yourself breaks through the day.  

    Breaks can reduce or prevent stress, help to maintain performance throughout the day and reduce the need for a long recovery at the end of the day. Additionally, a relaxing break can help to reset your mood, thereby promoting positive well-being and reducing stress

    2. Optimize Your Body

    Being your best also requires that you take care of your body and are firing on all cylinders! Here are a few things you can add to your daily routine to do just that…

    > Breath:

    Practice deep breathing. Breathing exercises can help you relax, because they make your body feel like it does when you are already relaxed. Deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower stress in the body. This is because when you breathe deeply, it sends a message to your brain to calm down and relax.

    > Eat ‘productive’ foods.

    Eating Well Boosts Creativity and Happiness at Work. For example, it’s been shown that the more portions of fruit and vegetables eaten per day, the happier, more engaged, and more creative people will be at work.

    > Drink more water:

    9-13 cups a day. Getting enough water every day is important for your health. Drinking water can prevent dehydration, a condition that can cause unclear thinking, result in mood change, cause your body to overheat, and lead to constipation and kidney stones. Water helps your body: Keep a normal temperature.

    > Get out of your chair often.

    Sitting or lying down for too long increases your risk of chronic health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. Too much sitting can also be bad for your mental health. Being active is not as hard as you think.

    > Exercise often:

    MOVE! Physical activity or exercise can improve your health and reduce the risk of developing several diseases like type 2 diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease. Physical activity and exercise can have immediate and long-term health benefits. Most importantly, regular activity can improve your quality of life.

    3. Questions To Yourself

    Self-questioning is an effective meta-cognitive strategy as it encourages students to think more deeply about the material they are studying. This strategy helps It is essential to your happiness, important for your growth, required for a healthy mind, inspires others to ask why, encourages good, honest relationships, keeps you young, makes other people happy and It could make a difference to the world.
