Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Marriage on Fire: Battling for Custody of Daughter!

Cheating charges! Secret incriminating tapes! THE DIRTIEST DIVORCE EVER!!!
According to the latest issue of In Touch Weekly, Kim Kardashian should take a break from waist training and find the best attorney she can afford.
Because she's involved in an intense custody battle with Kanye West over their daughter North. Oh no!
Kimye Divorce Battle?
According to HWG,  Kimye’s marriage is on “life support” following an ugly fight that took place late last week.

See, Kanye told Kim he was planning to move to Paris full-time and “it was like a sucker punch to the back of her head," writes the tabloid. "She screamed back that there was no way in hell he was taking North, then ran out of the room sobbing.”

That sounds terrible!
“The ruse stopped that night,” says the In Touch insider. “She’s finally done with The Kanye Show - a divorce and custody battle are imminent."
Making matters even more upsetting? Talk that Kim Kardashian is pregnant with baby number-two.

If this cover story were true, that child would be in danger of growing up without a father.
"This could be the messiest divorce battle ever," the source concludes. "It’s going to be all-out war for that little girl."

And also for $250 million, as In Touch Weekly previously claimed in a Kimye divorce story. Hmmm... whatever happened with that?

Apple Chief Executive, Tim Cook: 'I'm proud to be gay'

Tim Cook  
Mr Cook said he made his announcement to try to help people struggling with their identity
Apple chief executive Tim Cook has publicly acknowledged his sexuality, saying that he is "proud to be gay".
Mr Cook made his announcement to try to help people struggling with their identity, he wrote in a Bloomberg article.

He has been open about his sexuality, but has also tried to maintain a basic level of privacy until now, he said.
This week Mr Cook challenged his home state of Alabama to ensure the rights of gay and transgender people.
"I don't consider myself an activist, but I realize how much I've benefited from the sacrifice of others," he wrote.

"So if hearing that the CEO [chief executive] of Apple is gay can help someone struggling to come to terms with who he or she is, or bring comfort to anyone who feels alone, or inspire people to insist on their equality, then it's worth the trade-off with my own privacy," he added.

Mr Cook said that he had been open about his sexuality with many people, including colleagues at Apple, but that it still "wasn't an easy choice" to publicly announce his sexual orientation.

Burkina Faso parliament set ablaze

Burkina Faso's parliament on fire (30 October 2014)Demonstrators breached the security around parliament and set it on fire
According to BBC News, Protesters angry at plans to allow Burkina Faso's President Blaise Compaore to extend his 27-year-rule have set fire to parliament. The source reports that the city hall and ruling party headquarters are also in flames. 

Earlier, the military reportedly fired at protesters who stormed parliament.
Tear gas was also fired from a helicopter, as a crowd surged towards the presidency, reports say.
Parliament was due to consider changing the constitution so that Mr Compaore, 63, could run for office again in elections next year. 

A government minister could not confirm reports that the constitutional amendment has been withdrawn, Reuters news agency reports.

Mr Compaore first took power in a coup in 1987, and has won four disputed elections since then.
The opposition has called for a campaign of civil disobedience to demand that he steps down.
"October 30 is Burkina Faso's Black Spring, like the Arab Spring," opposition activist Emile Pargui Pare told AFP news agency.
State television has gone off air after protesters stormed the building housing it and ransacked it, Reuters quotes a witness as saying.

The protesters do not want Mr Compaore to change the constitution to extend his rule.
 
Smoke could be seen billowing from parliament.
Police had earlier fired tear gas to prevent protesters from moving in on the parliamentary building.
But about 1,500 people managed to breach the security cordon and were ransacking parliament, AFP reports.

Protesters were setting fire to documents and stealing computer equipment; cars outside the building are also on fire, it reports.
Mr Compaore is a staunch ally of the US and France, which uses Burkina Faso as a base for military operations against militant Islamists in the Sahel region.
Both France and the European Union (EU) have called on him to scrap the proposed constitutional amendment.
The EU said it could jeopardise Burkina Faso's stability. The US has also raised concern about the proposed amendment.

Evil: HIV-Positive Man Records Himself Having Unprotected S*x With More Than 30 People In 4 Months!


Prosecutors tell News 4 they now know more than 30 people could have gotten HIV from a former student at Lindenwood University who allegedly knew he had the deadly disease. He is accused of knowingly giving it to others. In October, Michael Johnson, 22, was charged with exposing sexual partners to HIV. Police later discovered multiple videos of Johnson having unprotected sex. They believe those partners were unaware Johnson was HIV positive and that they were being videotaped. The startling details were revealed after hidden camera sex tapes were uncovered, according to prosecutors. “On that laptop were 32 videos engaged in sexual acts with Mr. Johnson,” said Tim Lohmar, St. Charles County prosecutor. Lohmar said Johnson can be seen with 31 unidentified people in videos taken over four months.

Most of the videos were shot on the campus of Lindenwood University in St. Charles. Johnson has already been charged with five counts of knowingly transmitting the disease. “Those videos were taken inside his dorm room; we know that because we recognize the furniture,” Lohmar said most of victims not only likely had no idea they were being video-taped; they were clueless that Johnson had HIV. That’s why Lohmar wants any potential victims to come forward immediately. It’s a matter not only of their individual safety but public safety as well. Lindenwood University school officials tell News 4 they will assist law enforcement with identifying victims. They say they had no idea the videos existed until just a few days ago. “I think it’s really scary, thinking someone like that is on campus, not thinking about others,” said Student Jenny Counts. Students are shaken up by this latest news, but glad that Johnson is still behind bars for now. If convicted of knowingly transmitting HIV, he could get up to life in prison.

"I’m Really Obsessed With Waist Training: Kim Kardashian

In a recent interview, Kim Kardashian said she deserves respect because she works very hard.
She then took to Instagram and took a picture of her minute body.
Kim Kardashian in Waist Training
"I’m really obsessed with waist training! Thank you @premadonna87 for my new waist shapers! #whatsawaist," Kim captioned the picture, for which she was clearly paid a hefty sum.

This isn't the first time Kardashian has acted like an atrocious role model for young fans around the globe.
Instead of passing along positive messages about self-confidence and body image, Kim Instagrammed an image of herself wearing a corset from What's a Waist in August. It retails at $143.50.

That's an impressive double from Kardashian: she is telling fans that they should both aim to be as thin as possible .

Women’s Health Magazine asked Mary Jane Minkin - the clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Yale School of Medicine - about this absurd What a Waist corset and she replied:

"Once you take the garment off, your body will return to its usual shape. It’s also uncomfortable, restricts your movements, and if you wear it really tight, it can even make it difficult to breathe and theoretically could cause rib damage."

Love is Not By Force: Female Corper Beating to a Pulp For Trying to Charm Her Lover (Read)

NYSC 3 360nobs
One female youth corps member identified as Chinyere, landed in trouble when a love portion she prepared for her  Ex-Lover turned back against her

The event which took place around Redeemed Junction along Okpanam community road, Asaba, followed a long relationship between the suspect and the young man, who hails from Ibusa community near Asaba.
Report has it that they started dating while they were both in Lagos, until she graduated and was posted to Asaba for her youth service.

According to source, their relationship encountered some undisclosed issues and the young man broke up, but the suspect refused to let go despite all effort to convince her he was done with the relationship.
It was gathered that the suspect insisted the relationship must continue because she had put in a lot of time.
“I have invested my time and resources into this relationship and you cannot just wake up and tell me you are through with me. If you have done that to other girls before, you cannot try that with me,” Chinyere said.

The victim said on the fateful evening, the suspect reported the young man to his elder sister who lives in Benin, adding that he was called and advised to let the sleeping dog lie after talking some sense into him.
The young man reportedly obeyed his elder sister and invited the suspect to his house situated around Okpanam community where the misfortune happened.

The two ‘love birds’ reportedly took a walk down town that night, getting to some point, the young man excused her to purchase a bottle of water and as soon as he walked away, the suspect not knowing people were watching her, reportedly brought out a small can and she packed sand from the spot the young man stood, and immediately jumped into a commercial tricycle and left the scene but was chased and brought down.

The corps member was reportedly pounced on beaten to pulp by an angry mob who witnessed the incident.

OMG!!!! Man Commits Suicide Over N1000 Theft in Ebonyi

A 32-year-old man, Mr. Simon Mbam, of Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State has committed suicide after he was tortured by some villagers for allegedly stealing N1,000 from a shop in the market.
The victim, who jumped into a pond in the area last weekend, found himself in the mess when he left his house in the evening of the fateful day to buy drinks with his friends.
 
While late Simon and his friends were busy sipping their drinks, the owner of the shop raised an alarm over a missing N1,000 in his carton of drinks, but no customer admitted to haven taken the money.
The alarm raised by the shop owner attracted villagers who stormed the scene and gave the suspects till the following day to return the money or face the consequences.

According to Vanguard, It was learned that the said missing money was found at the door step of the shop, but when the villagers who were determined to get to the root of the matter gathered, the owner of the shop insisted on knowing the person behind the act.
The suspect, who later confessed to the crime, was allegedly beaten by the irate villagers until he started bleeding and losing consciousness.
They demanded that he should be treated like a thief, even as he was fined two goats, two crates of beer and N5,000, which were immediately provided by the suspect’s mother (names withheld).
It was gathered that the village head rejected what the suspect’s mother brought, insisting that an additional N5,000 should be provided so that the matter would be completely resolved without involving the police.
This second demand by the villagers made the suspect, who felt humiliated by the entire process, escape from his captors and jumped into Aku Pond, which was not far from the market square.
All efforts to rescue him on time proved abortive as he drowned before his body was retrieved by the villagers.

Meanwhile, four persons including the village head, had been arrested by the police after the mother of the victim reported the matter.

23 Year Old Nigerian Girl Dies In Bangkok After Attempting Buttock Augmentation (Photo)


A 23-year old Nigerian girl, Joy Willaims  has left her families in deep sorrow after she travelled to Bangkok this month for a buttock augmentation without their consent.

Joy travelled to Bangkok with £2000 to have the surgery at SP clinic which turned out to be a success at first, but shortly after that, it turned out that her wounds had already become infected.

She rushed back for a corrective surgery, but sadly Joy died on the operating table.

Her family has denied ever knowing she travelled to Bangkok and said she was a girl loved by all. Here is what her brother who spoke to Dailymail from Lagos said about her demise.

“We don't really know what went wrong, we only know what is in reports in the media. She was a very nice and caring person.She brought joy to people's lives.She was a beautiful girl, loved by everybody. We will miss her so much.'


He added that family members are planning to visit the country so they could get her corspe.

The doctor who carried out the procedure, Sompob Sansiri, has however been arrested and officials say they have already started investigating the cause of her death.

Though born in Lagos, Joy moved to Thamesmead with her mom in 2007 and had visited Thailand twice before deciding to go for the surgery.

 A Russian porn star broke both her legs as she escaped two thugs who brutally raped and assaulted her after luring her to their flat with a business deal.

The 22-year-old adult actress had entered the flat after being invited by the two men to discuss a possible new production, but was attacked and jumped out of a window to get away.
the woman, who works under the nom de guerre Lola Taylor, was found bleeding and with torn clothes by a man walking his dog in Yasenovo, Moscow.

'Dailymail reports that,Lola Taylor' had agreed to meet the men for an interview to talk about the film, but after she arrived, the men set upon her and proceeded to rape her in an ordeal that lasted several hours.

Woman Kills Man Who Tried To Rape Her In Lagos - See Photo

An unidentified suspected rapist has been killed in the Lekki area of Lagos State while attempting to rape a 22-year-old woman, Ifeoma Okechukwu.

 

It was learnt that the incident happened on Monday, around 12.30pm, in Atlantic View Estate, Alpha Beach Road, Lekki.

Punch learnt that Okechukwu was on her menstrual period and had gone out to buy sanitary pads.

The Imo State indigene was said to be on her way back home when she was accosted by the stranger.

She said,
“After buying the sanitary pads, I was going back home when I saw a man, who should be in his forties, standing at a corner. He approached me and ordered me to take him to my house.“He put his hand into his pocket as if he wanted to bring out a weapon. He said he would kill me if I shouted.When we got to the house, he said I should shut the door and I did. He said I should remove my clothes; and I started begging him, but he refused to listen.So I told him to let me get to the kitchen because I was cooking something and I would be back. I got a rod and hid it in my wrapper. I went back and moved slowly towards him, still begging, but he refused.He was taking off his clothes and wearing a condom when I used the rod to hit him in the head. I started screaming. And then I picked the phone and called my uncle.”
The victim’s uncle, who pleaded anonymity, told Punch Metro that he went to report the matter at the Ilasan Police Station after learning what had happened.

He said, 
“I was not at home when the incident happened and her younger brother had also gone out. So, she was alone in the house and it was possible he had been monitoring her movement.When she called me and said what had happened, I left the office and went to the police station in Jakande Estate where I reported the matter.”
A police source told our correspondent that investigators found a pack of condoms on the deceased, including a phone without a SIM card.

The source added that since the incident happened, no one had shown up to claim the man’s corpse.
He said,
“He was about wearing the condom when the girl hit him on the head and he died. His mission was to rape her and steal from the house. He probably took advantage of her frail stature.We have got information that he was not alone. He belonged to a gang that has been terrorizing Lekki residents for some time now. And that’s why since this incident, nobody knows his name and address, and none of his relatives has come forward to say they know him.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, promised to call our correspondent back, but he had yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.

Okechukwu was however said to have been arrested and detained in police custody.
 
Would the victim be charged with murder case or self defense?
Is self defense a crime?
What is your take on this matter?

Kim Kardashian: Pregnant With Baby Number Two?! Reality Star Drops MAJOR Hint in Latest Interview!

 Kim pretty much slipped up and said she's pregnant during an interview in the UK:

Asked about her maternity style around the 2:30 mark, Kim says:
"I wore my regular clothes and I would just buy a size up. I don't know if I would necessarily do that this time around. Pregnancy style is hard."
Yes, she said "this time around." That's how someone who is currently pregnant would phrase that statement.

Sure, it could've just been a poor choice of words on Kim's part - talking isn't her strong suit, after all - but we wouldn't be surprised to hear an official announcement in the next couple months.
We know Kim and Yeezy are planning to have at least one more kid:

Congrats: Mercy Johnson Gets Another Car Gift From Hubby

According to Global Excellence magazine, Mercy Johnson-Okojie got another car gift from her handsome husband, Prince Odi Okojie, after the man became aware of the sex of their new child during pregnancy.
imageRecall that in 2013, Mercy Johnson got a Lexus SUV gift from her hubby after the birth of their first child together in December 2012, a daughter named Purity.

The magazine reported that the Kogi State-born actress’ Edo State-born husband got her a 2013 model of Range Rover Sport SUV as soon he was told that his wife would be giving him a boy. This was after a scan was conducted.

In mid-October, the actress welcomed their second child, a baby boy, in the United States of America (USA) and has since been christened Henry.

Mercy Johnson got married to her sweetheart on August 27, 2011, at a Christ Embassy Church in Lagos.

Kim Kardashian Defends Kylie Jenner: Her Lips Are Real!

Kim can relate to her half-sister at the moment, with many looking at photos of Kylie Jenner's lips and determining she MUST have had some kind of procedure done. Those things are just so plump!
Earlier this week, Kylie came out and said she's bored by this lip injection chatter, kind of shooting it down... but not entirely.
What does Kim have to say about her sibling's facial feature?
"She draws her lip [traces the outer ledge of her lip] and it looks amazing," the 34-year-old told Pixiwoo, a U.K. beauty blog hosted by sisters Sam and Nic Chapman. "She only wears a lip liner, an then she fills it in. She doesn't wear a lipstick or a gloss."
Kardashian added that Kylie is "really good at makeup."
She's also good at getting the Internet to talk about her lips.

OMG!!! Jennette McCurdy Nude Photo Leaks Online - See Photo

In the past, when racy photos of Jennette McCurdy were posted online, she was quick to call out the culprit, or at least strongly imply that she didn't leak them.
The actress may or may not have been a victim of The Fappening - there were photos that allegedly depicted her nude, but they were never verified.
Anyway, that's not what we're talking about here:
Jennette McCurdy Nude Photo
Prior to that scandal, shots of McCurdy posing seductively in lingerie (see gallery below) were posted on various photo-sharing sites across the Internet.

The 22-year-old McCurdy blamed Andre Drummond - her NBA player ex-boyfriend, whom she claimed was still bitter about their breakup, for the leak.

Today, however, a new naked photo of Jennette surfaced online and if we had to point a finger, we'd guess that the person responsible is none other than McCurdy herself.

The photo is posed, tasteful, and, well... we hate to sound cynical, but McCurdy's career isn't exactly on fire at the moment, and every bit of free publicity helps.

Sure, she used to costar with Ariana Grande on Sam & Cat, but the show's been canceled despite a successful first season run over on Nickelodeon.

While Ariana went on to become one of the world's biggest pop stars, Jennette's been reduced to dissing Ariana on a web series in order to stay relevant.

In fairness, we hear that Jennette has been cast in a new series for Netflix, which is all the more reason this pic may have mysteriously appeared online.

Jennette McCurdy Underwear Pic

This appears to be a photo of Jennette McCurdy in her underwear. 
The only question: Who leaked it?
Hey, at the end of the day, we're not complaining.
It's free nudity and unlike so many other examples of that, it doesn't appear to have been hacked, so we don't have to feel guilty for looking at it. 
But in this post-Fappening era in which we live, it's good to try and get to the bottom of how that naked celeb wound up on your screen. Just saying.

ZAMBIAN PRESIDENT DIES IN UK: He Was 77

Zambian President Michael Sata, who was nicknamed “King Cobra” for his fiery tongue and larger-than-life personality, has died, the country’s national radio said Wednesday morning.

ZAMBIAN PRESIDENT ‘KING COBRA’ DIES

Officials did not disclose the cause of his death. But Sata had traveled to London for unspecified medical treatment last week.
He died in a hospital there Tuesday evening, the government-owned Zambia Daily Mail said.
Sata took office in September 2011 after the incumbent President tearfully conceded in a televised speech, a rare moment in a continent known for volatile elections and leaders fighting their defeat tooth-and-nail.

Analysts hailed his election as an example of an African nation with a vibrant democracy. But not too long after he took office, speculation swirled over his lack of visibility — which especially stood out for a man who loves the spotlight.
Aides said his absence was a result of private international visits, and maintained those trips had nothing to do with medical treatment.
The nation’s bloggers have frequently criticized what they describe as “absence of leadership,” leading him to make a surprise appearance in parliament last month and declare that he was not dead.
 
Sata was born in the Zambian town of Mpika in 1936, and worked as police officer during the colonial administration. He later trained as a pilot in Russia before returning home and helping develop housing projects in the nation.
During Zambia’s struggle for independence from Britain, he jumped into politics, and later founded the Patriotic Front — then an opposition party. His campaign events electrified crowds drawn to his extroverted nature and fight for the average man.
 
Sata, who narrowly lost to his predecessor Rupiah Banda in 2008, was a major critic of Chinese investment in the nation’s copper industry. He especially targeted foreign companies that mistreat Zambian workers, making him popular among the nation’s miners who accused the Chinese of deplorable work conditions.
 
While in office, he warned foreign companies that while their investment is crucial to his nation, they must abide by the labor laws.
 
The veteran politician has served in other positions, including city council, member of parliament and cabinet minister for local government.
 
Before his election, the tiny, copper-rich nation in southern Africa had been ruled by the same party for decades.

Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and North West Honored the Title ''First Family of Fashion''


Designer André Leon Talley believes Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and North West are deserving of the title of "First Fashion Family."
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West: Fashion Icons?
"The three were a force of iconic moments as they pivoted around Paris, the mecca of fashion during the last fashion shows this month," Talley wrote late last week. "The Nick and Nora Charles of our time, the Liz and Dick Burton, without the brawls."
Talley - a contributing editor to Vogue magazine and former America’s Next Top Model panelists - also quoted several members of the fashion community who have nothing but love for Kim, Kanye and North.
"Kanye knows quality," says Ralph Lauren said, while supermodel Kate Moss says simply that "Kim is one of my favorite people."
Talley concluded his piece by giving props to Kim and Kanye for donning Givenchy, Margiela, Dries Von Noten or Chanel… even when experiencing “a frenzy of paparazzi moments” in the airport or on the sidewalk.
"Thank you so much for this @OfficialALT !!!!" Kim tweeted with a link to the article Sunday afternoon.

Kanye, Kim and North for Vogue
Kanye West, Kim Kardashian and North West cuddle up here for Vogue.
 
In a recent interview with the Australian version of The Today Show, Kardashian actually credited her husband as having more fashion taste that she possesses.
"I think he definitely influences me more. I just love the way he dresses," she said. "He is a great designer and he gives me amazing style tips."
But not everyone fully agrees. Kimye did get booed during Paris Fashion Week, remember. That was awesome.

WWII pilot who died 70 years ago have finally been unearthed -- still sitting on the parachute in the cockpit.

The remains of an Italian WWII pilot who died in a dogfight with U.S. pilots 70 years ago have finally been unearthed -- still sitting on the parachute in the cockpit.

Found 13 feet underground with the wreckage of his crashed plane, a Macchi C.205 Veltro, the pilot was identified as being Lieutenant Guerrino Bortolani. His plane literately disappeared in the Padua countryside in northern Italy, planting itself deep in the bank of a ditch as it crashed on March 11, 1944.

"The crash site is now a corn field. We were able to find the remains with the help of an elderly man, who on that day witnessed the fighter going into a nosedive and hit the ground," Alessandro Voltolina, of the Romagna Air Finders, a group of wreck hunters from Ravenna, told Discovery News.

Bortolani, who died at 27, belonged to the 1st Fighter Groups, squadron "Asso di Bastoni" (Ace of Clubs), which was commanded by the Italian ace of aces Adriano Visconti.
Bortolani flew on a Macchi C.205, regarded as the best Italian aircraft of World War II, as part of his "Ace of Clubs" group.

"It was an excellent fighter aircraft, extremely effective in action and well armed with two 12.7 mm machine guns and a pair of 20 mm cannons," Agostino Alberti, of another group, the Air Crash Po wreck hunters from Cremona, told Discovery News.

But on March 11, 1944 the Macchi C.205 fighters couldn't really combat the massive attack of the Mediterranean Allied Strategic Air Force (MASAF) which sent 111 B-17 "Flying Fortress" planes to drop more than 300 tons of bombs on Padua.

Italian and German fighters responded to the attack, and although their action was described as "aggressive" by the allied forces, they succumbed. The Germans lost five planes and three pilots; the Italians lost four aircraft and three pilots.

As well as Lt. Bortolani, Lt Giovan Battista Boscutti was shot down and crashed in the Padua countryside. Lt. Bruno Castellani plunged in the sea off Chioggia, near Venice, while Lt. Andrea Stella managed to make an emergency landing and survived.

"In 2006 we recovered the remains of Lt Boscutti, along with pieces of his crashed Macchi. Obviously, the next goal was the recovery of Lt. Bortolani," Voltolina said.

"It has been a long and complex search, but now this pilot can be finally given a proper burial," he said

The excavation revealed many pieces of the plane, such as the main landing gear wheel, the tail wheel, pieces of the engine, the control stick, the pedals and parts of fuselage.

"Then we saw what everybody hoped to find. The parachute was still closed, and the remains of the pilot were still sitting on it. We also found the ring he was wearing, which he received at the fighter pilot academy," Voltolina said.

Bortolani will be finally given a burial in the next months, as soon as his closest relatives are found.

Incredible: Wonderful Foods That Will Give You Great Skin

Wonderful Foods That Will Give You Great Skin

There are many tasty foods that can give you great skin, and including some of them in your eating plan is essential. When you have a healthy skin, you look much younger and fresher, no matter how old you are. The foods you consume every day play a significant role in the health of your skin as well as your overall health. Nowadays it’s hard to choose foods that are tasty and healthy at the same time. Hopefully, this list of foods to eat to have a gorgeous skin will help you keep your skin healthy and young.

Flax seeds

Flax seeds
Flax seeds are rich in omega-3’s that play a critical role in controlling the appearance of age spots and fine lines. A study shows that consuming flax seeds every day helps relieve skin redness and irritation and helps make skin look fresh and soft. Add some flax seeds to your oatmeal, smoothies or your favorite muffin recipe.

Purple and blue fruits

Purple and blue fruits
Purple and blue fruits are among the best foods to eat for a great skin. Blueberries, blackberries and plums are all rich in antioxidants, which combat free radical damage. If you don’t know, free radicals come from a poor diet or chemicals in the environment. Purple and blue fruits can also help keep your skin looking younger longer.

Chocolate

Chocolate
The great news for all chocolate lovers, chocolate is good for your skin, despite all the myths that it causes acne. I love dark chocolate and eat it almost daily (of course, in moderation), and from personal experience I can say that chocolate doesn’t cause acne. Chocolate actually increases flavonol intake that translates to gorgeous skin. Since chocolate has some calories, make sure you eat it in moderation.

Sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes
I was really happy to learn that sweet potatoes are good for skin. They are high in vitamins A and C, which are both essential for glowing and healthy skin. The thing is, vitamin C increases collagen production that keeps your skin supple and smooth, and vitamin A is a potent antioxidant that fights free radical damage and prevents skin cancer. I think it’s a great reason to add sweet potatoes to your eating plan.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes
When I did my research, I was surprised to find out that tomatoes are good for skin. Many people say that eating tomatoes can cause acne. But tomatoes are an excellent source of antioxidants, namely lycopene, which helps improve skin health as well as protects pigmentation. Add tomatoes to your salads or put some on a sandwich. When you cook tomatoes, you increase their lycopene content, so feel free to eat pizza sauce and marinara too.

Yogurt
