Ladies! Check Out How Lemons Can Make You Flawless

To many persons, lemon is just a fruit. But to most ladies, it means much more than that. Your skin and hair are secretly in love with this wonder fruit and you’ll be amazed at the lots of beauty uses for lemons. There are many fruits which have their own function when it comes to beautifying the body. Here are some beauty routines you can adopt with lemons.

1. Brighten Your Skin

This is the most popular beauty use of Lemons. The juice from this fruit is rich in vitamin C and citric acid. It works perfectly well as a skin brightener and lightener if used regularly. For dark skinned persons, please use sparingly to avoid over-lightening your skin. Make sure you wear ample amount of sunscreen to protect your skin when you’re out in the sun because Lemon juice can make your skin more sensitive to the harmful UV rays.

2. Lighten Your Hair

This is one of my favorites as it helps you skip the chemicals. Sprinkle some Lemon juice on your hair and use a wide tooth comb to comb it in so that it would separate and create pretty highlights. If you want a lighter color all over, pour the whole cup of lemon juice on your head. After that, sit out in the sun for a while (20 minutes should do) and afterward, wash and dry your hair and I promise you’ll have a very nice, natural looking color in no time. Be sure this is what you want, because once its bleached, it can never go back to its original color.
Don’t do it too often otherwise it might make your hair look brassy.

3. Whiten Your Teeth

Lemon juice acts as mild bleach. To get noticeably whiter teeth when next you attempt the Monalisa smile, prepare to mix a concoction. Bring out your baking soda, pour out a tablespoon of it and add some lemon juice. Mix them into a thick paste, take a portion and apply to your teeth. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes and then scrub with your toothbrush. Remember to consult your dentist for advice before trying this out.

4. Strengthen Your Nails

I have never had the opportunity to try this for obvious reasons. My regular readers know why. Regular use of gel manicures can really damage and weaken your nails. But fret not, lemons are right here! Mix lemon juice with a cooking oil (preferably olive oil) and soak your nails. This can also help fix yellowing of the nails.

5. Moisturizer

Get ready for another concoction. This time, our extra ingredient for the homemade beauty product is: coconut water. Mix a few drops of coconut water into a cup of lemon juice and apply generously to your face and skin. The coconut water helps hydrate your skin while the lemon juice helps clear and brighten it.

6. DIY Deodorant

Do you sometimes forget your deodorant? There’s an easy solution to that problem in your fridge – a lemon! Why not? Its the perfect emergency deodorant. The citric acid in lemon juice can kill odor-causing bacteria, and there are people who swear by the lemon deodorizing method. Slice the lemon in halves and swipe your armpits with one on a daily basis. Just be sure not to apply lemon juice to recently shaven armpits — ouch!

7. Exfoliate Your Lips

Finding the right lipstick is always a challenge, so why don’t you try putting lemon juice on your lips before going to bed. The next morning when you wash your face, the dead skin cells and dried skin will scale off and you’ll have supple lips for that lipstick to glide through.

8. Soften Elbows And Knees

This time, take some lemon juice, preferably a full lemon, few teaspoons of salt, and some olive oil. Mix it all together and you have created your own homemade body exfoliators. This works like magic and can even help you get rid of a tan.

9. Lighten Age Spots

Fun fact – lemon juice can help lighten aging spots or even liver spots and freckles. Who needs to go spend a ton of money on aging cream when you can just use the lemons in your house? Leave the juice on your spots for 15 minutes and then rinse the skin.

10. Treat Blackheads

lemons can really help treat acne because they are antibacterial and can get ride of those blackheads. No need for a concoction this time, just use freshly squeezed lemon juice on your face and allow the juice to sit on for minutes and heal your skin.

Husband Kills Wife In Honour Killing, Asks Brothers To Help With Burial

A jealous husband brutally killed his wife and then wore her clothes to pretend she was still alive, UK.

Ahmed Al-Khatib was married to Syrian-born Rania Alayed for more than 20 years and had not a drop of pity to a woman who gave birth to their tree children when he was killing her at his brother's apartment.
The couple emigrated to Great Britain in 2004 and since then the woman started to tell her friends about her husband's violent behavior. She was afraid of him as the man сonstantly threatened to kill her and beat her as soon as he was given a chance to do so.
One of the woman's friends described Al-Khatib as an angry monster who took control over her life. He was sexually and physically violent, jealous and contemptuous of females.

Ms Alayed is leaving with her children

After years of serious domestic violence a courageous woman managed to free herself and children from the abusive father using a solicitor and started a new life. She rented a property, went to college and got friends. She even filed for divorce as she was in a relationship with a man she met on the Internet.
But happy life did not last long, on June 7 last year she left the kids with their father for the weekend at his brother's apartment and since then never came back home again. After killing his wife Al-Khatib wore his wife's jeans and headscarf, put her in a suitcase and with the help of his two brothers, Muhned and Hussain, buried her in an isolated area.
During the trial Ahmed said he had been 'commanded' to bury his wife by the djinn, a demonic spirit in Islamic folklore, but these words were considered to be mere lies as the murder was thoroughly planned and mercilessly committed while the children were in the next room. Both of the Ahmed's brothers did not confess to complicity but were found guilty and jailed for three and four years.
 
A suitcase where the woman's body was placed

It was learnt that after the cold-blood murder a telephone, Facebook and message services were deployed to pretend to others that Rania was still alive. The incident is considered to be a pre-planned honour-killing as Al-Khatib's 'male "pride" clearly couldn't take a strong woman trying to determine her own fate'.
Ahmed Al-Khatib was convicted by a jury of Rania Alayed's murder and has been jailed for a minimum of 20 years. The search for the woman's body is still ongoing.

Kefee's Publicist Releases Press Statement - 'Kefee is Still Under Intensive Care. We Just Need Prayers Now'

Kefee’s husband, Teddy Don-Momoh, has called on friends, well-wishers and Nigerians as a whole to join him in prayers for the life of his wife. Teddy made the plea from the U.S. where his wife is still under intensive care at the hospital. 

`Kefee wants her friends, fans and well-wishers to know that she loves them. We just need prayers now; she just needs our prayers now because there is nothing God cannot do; prayer is the key. God is still the same yesterday, today and forever, He has done it before and he will do it again,’’ he said. 

Kefee collapsed on a Chicago-bound flight some days back which forced the plane to
make an emergency landing in Los Angeles so she could receive medical attention. Teddy said that he couldn’t really give a full account of the situation and cause of the collapse as he just got to the U.S. on Saturday to be with his wife and she has been in intensive care since then. 

Kefee and Teddy recently obtained diplomas in filmmaking from the U.S. and had started off on some projects together. One was the shoot of her music video which was directed by Teddy. She also recently released a single titled, ‘Dem Go Talk’, before all this happened. 

 Teddy pleads that the privacy of the family be respected as much as possible while we all take this situation to God in prayers.
