TO APPLY MAKE-UP ON HER OR NOT

Samira is a bubbly 6-year old who adores her mother very much. Every time she spots her mum before the mirror, she innocently creeps up for a fun experience and for a mother-daughter bonding session over facials and make-ups.
Like most mothers, Samira’s mum is always tempted to apply make-up on her which she often reluctantly does on several occasions especially when they are about to go out or have guests over. Her argument;
“It is just a simple eye-liner. It won’t hurt any bit, right?”
Wrong! Well according to Muthoni Njoba, a make-up specialist, failure to clean off any make-up very well is dangerous as make-up left on the skin can clog pores and cause premature aging.
As mothers, we forget that our skins are not always the same as our daughters or little children. That is why it is advisable for one to go to a professional make-up artist to advice on the best suitable make –up (foundation, concealer, powder, eye-shadow e.t.c) for your skin tone, skin type and features.
Factual research has shown that our skin starts aging after the age of 25; so mum do your child justice by withholding that make-up. Your child’s skin is very soft, tender and flawless at a young age and it would be a disgrace for a beautiful 10-year old girl looking like a 30-year old due to make-up.
Finally; as a mother and as a woman, I am sure one of your New Year resolution is dedicating yourself to a great skin care and embarking on the journey of using make-up to enhance your already beautiful features. While you undertake this treacherous journey of greatness and amazing look; tag along your girlfriends; sisters or better yet your young daughter. Encourage them to drink lots of water and eat fresh vegetables.
That is the best kept secret to a better health and flawless beautiful skin. The secret is out now ladies!

THE NEW GENERATION THAT WILL REVOLUTIONISE AFRICA



I read somewhere of how an attorney husband was always fond of saying;” when the fact are on your side; pound the facts. When the law is on your side; pound the law! When neither is on your side, pound the podium.”

The podium pounding is usually for our leaders when neither facts nor law is on their side. Since I am a patriot with charisma; I will pound on the facts.
Robbery is antisocial- a proven determination to break the law. But just so you think of the many men and women who are busy breaking or bending the law in all coasts of climes.

After all these; these so called man and women provide an alibi. Look for a copy of one of this daily. You’ll be shocked to find there a story of the government official who stole over Ksh. 7M cool. But that’s not new. Such stories make splash headlines all over our African continent. Stories of how people are making a difference in our poor slums only get a caption.
The government official was antisocial, but how many of his type do you know? And how many more go undetected? I say, if my avocation was antisocial, then thank God, I’m in good company. And that company consists of countries, transnational organizations, public servants, high and low men and women.



The only difference is that; while I’m prepared to pay the price for it all; the others are not.
It’s about time well- endowed and well-trained people took to it. They’ll bring to the profession a romantic benefit of the society.

No; I’m not mad! On the contrary, my heart is at peace. Time was when the running and ruining of African nations was in the hands of half-literate politicians. Today, well-endowed and better trained people have taken over the task, and look how well they are doing it.
