FROM RELATIONSHIP TO MARRIAGE BLUNDERS THAT CAN BE AVOIDED

Thursday, 23 January 2014 - by Unknown · - 0 Comments

Your marriage can be the most beautiful thing to ever happen to you but only if you go into it knowing exactly why you are getting into it in the first place. There are marriages that are very successful and while it takes both parties to play their role, your partner choice really matters. Often you will ask a girl to describe her ideal man and you will be likely to hear something about looks (height, complexion etc) and financial statuses. While these are ok things to look for in a man (after all sometimes the heart wants what it wants) they will not make your marriage work! Judging by the number of divorces and separations growing by the day it is clear that most marriages are not working. Not to be discouraged though there’s a guide to picking a man whose traits will indeed shape your marriage.

SHOCKING ;;;REVELATION HOUSEGIRL SNATCHES HUSBAND AND LATER BECOMES CO-WIFE TO HER BOSS

Wednesday, 22 January 2014 - by Unknown · - 0 Comments

Househelps, maids, mboch, home manager — whatever you call them — cook, clean every spot in our houses, do the laundry and look after our children. They know some of our deepest secrets, and even know what the husband’s boxers look like. Without them, some families would be in turmoil. But before you know it, that woman who you sometimes ignore like furniture, or put under the microscope, could soon officially graduate into your children’s stepmother, yes, your co-wife. Lina Omare just could not imagine what attracted her husband to the poor tacky househelp. But the more she thought about it, the more she got confused. And the fact that her husband was willing to marry the househelp troubled her the more. Her husband, Noah is the general manager of one of the country’s leading banks, and Lina the human resource manager of a top insurance company. They had been married for 15 years. He was a respected church elder where they fellowship every Sunday, and the youth looked up to him as a role model. His humility and modest disposition, despite his position, were simply matchless. And his moral uprightness was unquestionable. In a world where all men are often tarred with the same brush with regard to fidelity, Lina often boasted about her husband’s commitment: “Even if I catch him naked in the same room with another woman, I will still doubt if anything really happened between them,” she would tell her friends. So she just could not understand what came over him to have stooped so low to have an affair with their not-so-attractive, and illiterate woman. It was the fear of hiring a house help that could entice her husband that made her decide against engaging Cynthia, the high school dropout who looked a bit more presentable and literate than Irene, now her co-wife. “I don’t not understand why my husband could not tame himself against his own househelp after he had endured some of the most tempting women of his life,” admits Lina. Lina remembers her husband effecting transfers of two of his personal secretaries and requested that he would no longer work with any female secretary because of their seductive tendencies. “The most tempting of all was his nightly encounter with Marion, the sexy public relations executive from the bank’s communications department, who often travelled with him for business meetings,” she narrates. Despite his ability to ward off these kinds of mounting pressures from women, Lina is surprised that her husband, who she thought could never look at another woman twice, could fall for their househelp, when there was practically no temptation. So you can imagine how the budding relationship between her husband and the househelp almost caused her a heart attack! She had never suspected anything until eventually, like nature would have it, the seed her husband and their house girl had sown in a relationship that had lasted about three months in her own house began to manifest — Irene’s two-months pregnancy! What infuriated her the more, Lina’s husband insisted that he was renting a house for Irene and pledged to support his baby and the mother! He could not take the blame for infidelity and instead, Noah blamed Lina for the mess. He told her that the househelp had something that she did not have. Noah said the househelp respected him. She made him feel welcome in his home. But why go in for a maid? What is behind the appeal of seducing an employee, specifically one who works in your home? Are women failing in their role as wives? Men claim that women today are not being wives. Career women, they say, have become so distant and aggressive that they have become a turnoff to men. “She denies you sex, she is moody and does not talk to you. So, you look for pleasure elsewhere,” says Patrick, a father of two. He confesses that he does not remember the last time he kissed his wife, because ‘She is never there’. “She always claims she had a difficult day and she is tired. And what do I do when I have a woman under my roof, whether she is a maid or not?” Agnes Zani, a sociologist from the University of Nairobi says men are emotionally driven beings who want their wives to show them that they are appreciated. She says that what attracts men to women is their femininity. This is the same way women find masculinity attractive in men. Unfortunately, women these days have become so masculine, distant and aggressive that they have become a turn offto men. “Many women use their salary and position at work to transform themselves from the beautiful feminine woman they are into becoming more masculine at home. This could be making feminine and submissive maids at home attractive to men,” she says adding, “the househelp makes their bed, washes his pants and even cooks and serves the husband food. Human beings by nature love a person who is close to them.” Some women are impolite to their husbands and this forces them to look for comfort elsewhere. “This frustrates husbands, who feel women must be submissive to them. The result is that the husband looks for an easy, submissive alternative around them for sex, and in this case, housemaids,” says zani. Magdalene Wangui, a marriage counsellor concurs that domestic workers are becoming so powerful that many marriages and relationships are threatened. She says cases of men sleeping with their helpers are on the rise, and most cases of infidelity she has dealt with has involved a helper. These women, she notes, are often younger, obedient, enlightened, single and struggling with financial issues, and many of the men they sleep with are doing well financially. With money and power comes a sense of entitlement. She adds that men like to use their masculinity to advance their power by picking on weaker people such as maids and young girls. “House girls in the present day are younger, wear stylish clothes, are more educated and because of their age they are vulnerable and available to their male bosses,” she explains. She says by nature power is attractive and maids are at risk because they may also be attracted to the allure of male power. “The power dynamic works both ways because maids are also privy to the private lives of those who pay them. Maids get to see their secrets. So, in a way, the bosses are beholden to the maid. She has power over them.” She warns couples especially wives from involving the maid in their personal conflicts by, for example, complaining to the maid about the wife or the husband. She tells women to get more involved in the house work even if they are not doing the job themselves. The intangibles She also says couples can also just agree to treat the maid as the employee of the wife so that subsequently, even though tasks are carried out by the maid, the instructions and intentions come from the wife, thereby strengthening the couple’s relationship. Susan Catherine Keter, author of the book Marriage takes more than love admits that house girls are a threat to the marriage institution. She agrees that physical appearance and good cooking will attract a man, but will not sustain a marriage in the long term. When the pressures of life catch up, children need to further their education, aging parents get chronically ill and bills soar, the job market becomes hostile and cut-throat; the man will realise that great looks and cooking are not all that he needs, as peace of mind is the number one need. “Marriage is more than sex, good cooking and the dressing code. She says you cannot compare a househelp who just does the house chores and ‘is always there’ to your wife who is working hard sacrificing her time with you to complement your financial contribution in the home,” she says. She blames men who leave their wives for the maids as having other problems other than the excuse of neglect, adding that the best thing wife can do is to let him keep her since the problem does not lie with the wife. - By BETTY MUINDI ....on THE PEOPLE

TYPES OF DUDES AND DUDETTES TO AVOID DATING.....REVEALED DETAILS

- by Unknown · - 0 Comments

ove and dating are hard games and there are some types of men who should be avoided. . 1. The non commitments ones While seemingly a normal, possibly timid guy, things can go extremely wrong when he finds out your true feelings. Men like this aren't mature enough to handle relationships, so they avoid them at all costs. For example, he may show signs of sharing your infatuation, but when talk of commitment comes up, he acts as if you've never even met. If this man comes into your life, don’t beat yourself up over his sudden change of heart. He’s simply a scared little boy, not the man of your dreams. 2. The Flirt We’ve all met a flirt. Also known as the ever elusive «player». He has dozens of women on the and possesses a constant hunger to string more along to fulfill his insecure mindset. When you spot this man, don’t let him get to you. You can bet those charming one-liners and suave winks have been used many times before to his advantage. You’ll always be an option, but never a priority. 3. The Blow off This man has no trouble setting plans and organizing dates. In fact, he is usually the one that routinely lights up your phone every Friday night. He wants to have some fun this weekend. To make sure he isn’t left alone, he schedules numerous «dates» and weighs his options. If you’re not top on his list, you’ll probably get the «Oh, sorry I’m not feeling so well» text or possibly no response at all. Don’t let it bother you, he wasn't worth your time. 4. The gender confused dudes This one’s pretty self-explanatory. Does your man spend more time getting ready than you do? Does he constantly check his hair in every mirror he comes across? Is he seemingly more in love with himself than in you? Are his interests limited to his own idealistic opinions and profound theories? Yeah, he’s head over heels. With himself. Ditch the dude, you shouldn’t have to put up with someone so plastic. 5. The Dramatic From past relationships I’ve learned that the majority of these boys have been total nuisance. You’ll know you’ve met this type when he freaks out if you show up five minutes late to a date. You can be sure he’ll fan every little disagreement into a full-blown argument. It’s not worth the stress. In my experience, this type can’t handle sarcasm very well, either. Their serious attitudes tend to translate humor very literally

S3X SATISFACTION, PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS TO A BETTER MARRIAGE LIFE

- by Unknown · - 0 Comments

A sexual problem means that sex isn't satisfying or positive for you. In women, common sexual problems include feeling little or no interest in sex, having problems getting aroused, or having trouble with orgasm. For some women, pain during intercourse is a problem. Most women have a sexual problem at one time or another. For some women, it's ongoing. But your symptoms are only a sexual problem if they bother you or cause trouble in your relationship. There is no "normal" level of sexual response, because it's different for every woman. You may also find that what's normal at one stage of your life changes at another stage or age. For example, it's common for a tired mother of a baby to have little interest in sex. And it's common for both women and men to have less intense sex drives as they age. This is linked in part to hormone changes in the body. What are some causes of sexual problems in women? Female sexuality is complex. At its core is a need for closeness and intimacy. Women also have physical needs. When there is a problem in either the emotional or physical part of your life, you can have sexual problems. Some common causes include: • Emotional causes, such as stress, relationship problems, depression or anxiety, a memory of sexual trauma, and unhappiness with your body. • Physical causes, such as hormone problems, pain from an injury or other problem, and certain conditions such as diabetes or arthritis. • Aging, which can cause changes in the vagina, such as dryness and stiffening. • Certain medicines that can cause sexual problems. These include medicines for depression, blood pressure, and diabetes. What are the symptoms? Sexual problems can include: • Having less desire for sex. • Having trouble feeling aroused. • Not being able to have an orgasm. • Having pain during intercourse. How are sexual problems in women diagnosed? Women often recognize a sexual problem when they notice a change in desire or sexual satisfaction. When this happens, it helps to look at what is and isn't working in the body and in life. For example: • Are you ill, or do you take a medicine that can lower your sexual desire or response? • Are you stressed or often very tired? • Do you have a caring, respectful connection with a partner? • Do you and your partner have the time and privacy to relax together? • Do you have painful memories about sex or intimacy? Your doctor can help you decide what to do. He or she will ask questions, do a physical exam, and talk to you about possible causes. Some women find it hard to talk to their doctor about sexual problems at first. Sometimes it helps to write out what you want to say beforehand. For example, you could say something like, "For the past few months, I haven't enjoyed sex as much as I used to." Or you could say, "Ever since I started taking that medicine, I haven't felt like having sex."

HILARIOUS;;;'''STUDY REVEALS LADIES WITH BIG BUTTS ARE SMARTER ..READ DETAILS

Tuesday, 14 January 2014 - by DAILY SAGA · - 0 Comments

''I have always known that my booty will bring me something good one day . I don’t have those very visible and daring curves that men like, but I do have a working booty. And thighs for days. They just won’t go away – not that I really want them to. But I have just read the best news ever: women with big butts are smarter. Rejoice, girls! If you are a girl who does not have a big booty (sorry Funmie), then just join the rest of us to rejoice''...a plus sized lady stated
According to a scientific study , women with big butts are smarter. also less likely to have high cholesterol, and they are smarter because they produce more omega 3 fats. Woo hoo! Listen, just couple weeks ago, I bought a pair of skinny jeans (for my non skinny body), and it’s tight on my thighs. But on my waist, I can take it off or on without even unbuttoning it. I was so frustrated that I refused to send it back (I ordered it online). If I order a smaller size, it won’t fit my thighs, so I’m gonna be wearing my jeans like that … with a belt an extra sized lady was quoted
I don’t know who the scientists are that do these studies, but one thing is certain: they’re having all kinds of fun. Here’s how they’re reporting the study:
A study from the University of Oxford revealed that women with bigger butts have distinct advantages over women who have flat rears, and not just the ability to fill out a pair of jeans. Those with inflated derrières have lower insulin resistance, and they produce hormones that better metabolize sugar — which means these women are less likely to develop heart problems or diabetes than women who carry extra weight around their stomachs. These women also tend to have lower cholesterol; and they tend be smarter, because they produce more Omega 3 fats, which mobilizes brain development.
Researchers indicate that fat in the lower body is preferred to fat anywhere else throughout the body. Dr. Michael Jensen, director of endocrine research at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. stated that the fat of pear-shaped women behaves in healthy ways, and that the public should think about fat “as an important organ for our health.”
“It is the protective role of lower body, that is [thigh and backside] fat, that is striking. The protective properties of the lower body fat depot have been confirmed in many studies conducted in subjects with a wide range of age, BMI and co-morbidities,” ABC News said, quoting the Journal of Obesity.
Dr. Robert Kushners, medical specialist in obesity at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, clarified that fat in the stomach is “more metabolically active,” therefore harmful, while fat in the lower regions may be more stable.
Experts have been unclear on whether lower region shapeliness is healthier than being thin, but they did indicate that those who are thin have no health..

SIGNS THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO LOSE YOUR GIRLFRIEND

Sunday, 12 January 2014 - by Unknown · - 0 Comments

1. All Communication is Initiated by You

This is easily one of the most obvious indicators that something is up. If you miss this sign, then you're in straight denial. It's common sense: Girls like to talk. And talk. And talk.

Often at times they just yammer on to the point where we start to block them out - and those aren't even the girls we're dating. When you're going with a gal, chances are that almost every time you two talk, it's initiated by her, and she's the one doing most of the communicating. For the most part, nothing can get a girl to shut up if she feels like talking. I mean, even when they're mad and don't want to talk to you, they repeatedly tell you that they don't want to talk to you But anyways, long story short: when she stops trying to talk to you.

2. She's Not Jealous Anymore

Rememberhow every time you hung out with your best female friend she'd throw a fit, claiming that if you really loved her you wouldn't hang out with other girls all the time? Well believe it or not, that was good. Jealousy meant she cared. If she starts letting you hangout with whomever you want, without any sort of protest or snide comments, well you'd best believe you've got problems.

3. She Replies with One-Word Texts

This should speak for itself. We've already gone over just how much gals like to talk and communicate. When she can't even bother to respond to your texts with a full sentence, chances are that she just doesn't care anymore.

4. She Flirts with Other Guys In Front of You

Now this can mean one of two different things. The first possibility is that she's attempting to gain your attention by making you jealous. If this is the case, you're good to go, apart from the fact that you're dating a manipulative lady If you're cool with that, then good for you. However, the sad alternative is that if she's not trying to make you jealous, then she is literally flirting with those guys with every intention of getting laid. And it's all happening right under your nose.

5. She Signs Off Facebook Chat Moments After You Start Talking to Her

Don't kid yourself man, at this point you know she's avoiding you. It doesn't matter what she says. If she logs off every time you attempt to communicate to her, regardless of how long she's been online, then she's avoiding you like your parents avoided the sex talk back in the day. But on the bright side, at least she's being considerate in her attempts not to talk to you. I knew one gal that told me she had to go do some work, but couldn't even be bothered to log out. She even continued commenting on one of our mutual friend's threads, which I was also a part of. Needless to say, she and I aren't very close anymore.

6. She's Banging Other Dudes in Front of You

Similar to number 4, but with a certain twist shouldn't have to put this on here, but it's worrying how some dudes can't take a hint.

7. She Makes ZERO Effort to Look Good In Front of You

Despite what they might say, girls are vain. They want you to tell them how pretty they are. They might not "need" it, but they sure as hell want the praise. And when she stops desiring your approval and compliments, you're either married, or she's no longer interested (they're roughly the same thing; the only difference is that if you're breaking up at least you have the prospect of break-up sex

8. She Doesn't Get Mad at You for things She Used To

I know, in your head it sounds wonderful - finally being able to get away with scratching your balls and then taking a handful of popcorn from the shared bowl with that same hand without being screeched at. But believe you me, that's a bad sign. If she stops yelling, that means that either she's stopped caring, or she's just bottling it all up until she really explodes. Either way, you should be worried and shopping around for an apology

9. Her Friends Have All Stopped Talking Her Up In Front of You

This one is subtle, and not always noticeable, but if you pay enough attention and actually listen to her friends when they speak instead of blocking them out as white noise you'll start to see that right around the same time she starts to drift away, her friends will stop making her look so awesome. Instead of saying how pretty she is and how funny her jokes are like they used to, they'll now proceed to start pointing out her flaws when she's not around (often at her request) to make her seem less attractive to you. It's their way of starting to let you down gently. And though it sucks, there are some friends of hers who will really go the extra mile and hook up with you so you forget about her, which opens up another chapter in a different relation.

10. She Files a Restraining Order

MEET the FIRST MAN in the world to buy LEGAL MARIJUANA in COLORADO

Wednesday, 8 January 2014 - by Unknown · - 0 Comments

The sales of legal recreational marijuana began across Colorado Wednesday when an Iraq war veteran Sean Azzariti bought the first bag.
Azzariti, a Denver-based Iraq war veteran suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and could not get marijuana legally to help alleviate his living condition made his purchase at an 8 a.m. press event.
Here's Azzariti with his bagged marijuana purchase, an Indica strain called Bubba Kush:
sean azzariti

The Iraq war veteran purchase in Denver was $59.74, with tax, for 3.5 grams of Bubba Kush and a bag of pot-infused truffles. Although Colorado has had medical marijuana laws on the books for years, PTSD was not covered under state statutes. Now that recreational marijuana can be purchased and consumed by adults 21 and over, Azzariti can buy it legally.
The event at 3D Cannabis Center, one of a few dozen Colorado dispensaries selling recreational pot\marijuana for the first time, was organized by key Amendment 64 backers Mason Tvert, communications director for Marijuana Policy Project; Brian Vicente, spokesman for Sensible Colorado; and Betty Aldworth, spokeswoman for the National Cannabis Industry Association.
"A lot of folks have been referring to what is happening in Colorado as an experiment with legal marijuana," said Tvert to a packed crowd inside 3D. "But, in fact, the experiment was marijuana prohibition and that experiment dramatically failed, just like the so-called great experiment of alcohol prohibition."
A line of exuberant prospective marijuana buyers formed around the 3D building in falling snow, eager to join Azzarti and take advantage of Colorado's new recreational marijuana law.
“The era of marijuana prohibition is officially over in Colorado,” said Rob Kampia, executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project, in a press statement after sales began. “The state is demonstrating to the rest of the nation and the entire world that regulating marijuana works.
Colorado voters approved Amendment 64 in 2012. For more than a year, marijuana consumers have been able to legally possess up to an ounce of marijuana and grow up to six plants for their personal use, but Wednesday marked the first day that they can legally purchase marijuana at a dispensary.

TRADERS in LEGAL MARIJUANA in COLORADO reports booming BUSINESS

- by Unknown · - 0 Comments

After legalization of marijuana in Colorado business is booming and traders are walking to the bank smilling with no doubt about legal marijuana business in prospering .Colorado marijuana dispensaries made huge sales in the first week of legal recreational marijuana.
Owners of the 37 new dispensaries around the state reported first week retail sales to The Huffington Post that, when added together, were roughly $5 million.
That's a lot of green for Colorado's legal weed.
Colorado, the first state to allow retail recreational marijuana sales to adults age 21 and older, has projected nearly $600 million in combined wholesale and retail marijuana sales annually. The state, which expects to collect nearly $70 million in tax revenue from marijuana sales this year, won't have its first official glimpse at sales figures until Feb. 20, when businesses are required to file January tax reports, according to Julie Postlethwait of the state Marijuana Enforcement Division.
Denver's 9News was first to report statewide retail sales on New Year's Day, the first day legal marijuana shops were allowed to operate, exceeded $1 million. Interest dropped in the days that followed, according to shop owners, but many reported customers still waiting in lines out the door.
"Every day that we've been in business since Jan. 1 has been better than my best day of business ever," Andy Williams, owner of Denver's Medicine Man dispensary, told The Huffington Post.
Owners of larger shops told HuffPost they sold from 50 pounds to 60 pounds of marijuana in the first week. Smaller shops sold 20 pounds to 30 pounds, proprietors said.
Under state law, Colorado residents may legally buy up to one ounce of marijuana in a transaction. Tourists can purchase up to one-fourth ounce.
But the initial rush to buy legal weed was so great that many shops imposed caps on the amount each customer could buy, or raised prices to curb demand and stave off a possible shortage. So far, none of the retailers reported supply problems.
Prices also were boosted by the state's 25 percent tax on retail purchases, including a 15 percent excise tax and a 10 percent sales tax. Voters approved the levy in November. Local taxes can add more to what customers pay.
Shop owners said their sales were biggest the first day. Each day since, sales have been roughly half the New Year's Day volume, the business owners said.
One-eighth of an ounce of marijuana was selling for an average of $65 around the first of the year, according to Marijuana.com.
Despite the surging sales, Joaquin Ortega, co-owner of Denver Kush Club dispensary, was quick to note to HuffPost that federal laws against marijuana sales and possession present obstacles to Colorado's legal retailers. The Justice Department has said it won't challenge legalization laws in Washington state and Colorado as long as the states prevent out-of-state distribution, sales to minors and drugged driving, among other conditions.
Still, the federal prohibition means banks won't accept marijuana businesses for traditional bank accounts, and retailers said they can't take advantage of traditional business tax writeoffs.
"People think we all became millionaires," Ortega said. "But as a business owner, I can't write anything off for the last three years."
Banks have said they fear they could be implicated as money launderers if they offer traditional banking services to the marijuana businesses.
Marijuana businesses often cannot accept credit cards, leaving them to conduct transactions in cash. They say that's a burden for taxes and payroll, and a safety risk.
Monday night, Denver City Council urged banking regulators to grant Colorado marijuana businesses access to the federal banking system, so they can use the same banking services as other businesses.
Rep. Ed Perlmutter (D-Colo.) is seeking reformed access to banking for marijuana businesses with his Marijuana Business Access to Banking Act (H.R. 2652), which would create protections for banks that offer services to state-sanctioned marijuana-related businesses.
"The banking legislation sponsored by Congressman Ed Perlmutter is a common sense approach to bring financial legitimacy to the legal marijuana industry," Denver City Councilman Albus Brooks told HuffPost. "It's ludicrous and unsustainable to force large neighborhood businesses to operate entirely with cash. Congress needs to act, and act now."
The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that the Department of Justice is also drafting legal guidance on how banks can work with marijuana businesses in states like Colorado and Washington, which both legalized recreational marijuana for adults 21 and over.SOURCE..HUFFINGTON POST

HOW to GET lid of CELLULITESand get a SMOOTH SKIN

Tuesday, 7 January 2014 - by Unknown · - 0 Comments

WAYS TO GET LID OF CELLULITES

When you're half naked on the beach, the last thing you want to worry about is cellulite. But don't let dimply skin keep you from slipping on your swimsuit. Instead, stop cellulite—or at least camouflage it—with these tips and products.

UNDERSTAND CELLULITE..Cellulite sucks because, well, if your mom has it, chances are you do too Lumpy, bumpy skin is caused when fat presses up against the vertical connective tissue that surrounds fat cells in our thighs, for example. This creates a bulging of the cells, resulting in a dimpled effect (picture your skin pushing through fishnet stockings).But even if it runs in your family, there are ways to minimize its appearance...

REGULAR EXERCISE..Since cellulite is fat, excess weight can contribute to it. That's why it's important to engage in physical exercise like walking, jogging, swimming, yoga, etc., several times a week.

ALWAYS EAT A HEALTHY BALANCED DIET A healthy diet plays an important role in keeping the signs of cellulite at bay. Eat plenty of fiber and whole grain foods (such as bran and oat cereals), since they help to remove waste and toxins from the intestinal tract, as well as fruits and vegetables.Also, drink plenty of water If you increase your daily intake of water, your body will begin to shed its excess fat, including the fat stored as cellulite. The water will also help strengthen the collagen in your skin, helping to reduce the lumpy look.
MASSAGE THE AFFECTED AREAS This sudser has multiple nubs on it that allow you to massage cellulite, stimulating circulation and breaking up fluids beneath your skin, leaving a more even appearance. Bliss Fat Girl Soap, also exfoliates away dead cells and contains caffeine to help tighten skin . USE OF EXFOLIATOR If massage nubs aren't quite your thing, spring for a caffeine-filled body scrub and pay special attention to your area of concern.When used topically, a ground coffee exfoliant, like Sea Salt, and Tubinado Sugar Body Scrub, promises to break up fatty deposits as you massage it into your skin. It also tightens it up with caffeine, and hydrates and plumps your skin with avocado oil. USE OF SERUM Blast cellulite with a serum, like Nivea Skin Firming Cellulite Serum with Q10, $10.20,When used daily, this ultra-concentrated formula with L-Carnitine, lotus leaf extract, and Coenzyme Q10 helps reduce the signs of dimpling in as little at 10 days.
USE OF SLIMMING WORKOUT OUTFIT Whether or not you're wearing a swimsuit, form-fitting clothes—especially spandex—can highlight cellulite.When you're working out, minimize the look of dimpling with Proskins Slim Cycle Shorts, .

A woman who was arrested on allegations of theft shocked police officers when she reportedly produced the stolen object from a strange place.

Tessy Emorvon, 26, is said to have stripped in the presence of Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) operatives and produced a gold necklace, which she is said to have stolen, from her vagina.

The necklace, said to be worth N850,000, had been reported missing by Tessy’s ‘boyfriend’, Cosmos.
Read the Sun reports below:

She was re-arrested by detectives at SARS, Ikeja when the owner of the gold necklace, Cosmos alerted them that she had been granted bail.

Trouble started when Cosmos, her boyfriend, realized that the gold necklace that he wore while having sex with her was missing. He raised the alarm and the occupants of the hotel, including Tessy, were arrested. They were all searched and the gold chain was not found. Not satisfied with their claim that they were not aware of where the gold chain was kept, Cosmos quickly alerted the police at Area F, Ikeja.

At the police station, Tessy insisted that she knew nothing about the stolen gold necklace. Having been detained for two days, she was granted bail while investigation continued.

Still not satisfied, Cosmos quickly reported the matter again at SARS, Ikeja and she was picked up as soon as she was granted bail at Area F, Ikeja. The officer in-charge of the department, SP Abba Kyari ordered his men to take her in for the normal process of interrogation. Terrified that she could be treated like an armed robber, Tessy quickly confessed and agreed to produce the golden necklace from where she had kept it.

The policemen however got the shock of their lives when she started undressing. Embarrassed, the officers asked if she had lost her senses and Tessy insisted that she was trying to bring out the necklace. She dipped her fingers inside her vagina and pulled out a piece of cotton wool soaked with blood. Inside it was the stolen necklace. She also confessed how she smuggled out the pendant undetected.

Meanwhile, Cosmos said he had strong feelings that the gold necklace was with Tessy as she had threatened severally that she would disappear with it.

“I have heard so much of the exploits of SARS, Ikeja, so I quickly rushed to the office and filed a fresh report when I learnt that they wanted to release her. Actually, she drugged me, before taking the necklace,” Cosmos said.

At the police station, Tessy who claimed to be a whore confessed that she felt that the safest place to hide the stolen gold necklace was her vagina.

She said: “This man is very stingy and hardly pays well at the end of a hot sex session with him. He is actually my boyfriend and I have dated him for more than a year. Most of the time, he will have sex with me and go home giving excuses why he would not give me a kobo. I always let it go because I knew that at the end of the day, I would make money from other customers. Since he is the only one that I normally had sex with without condom, I was enjoying the relationship.

“Few days before the incident, he came with a gold necklace and told me that it was worth N850, 000. I felt bad that a man who can afford to buy a necklace that’s worth that much could not give his girlfriend money for maintenance. The next day, he came with another necklace and at that point I made up my mind that I would steal it. He slept a lot after sex, so it was easy for me to take the necklace and hide it. Naturally, I knew that they will strip me in an attempt to find the necklace, so I had no choice but to hide it in the safest place in my body. My vagina.”

According to Tessy, “It was when the argument started that she got to know that Cosmos is a married man with children. “His brother suddenly surfaced and accused him of abandoning his wife who is a nursing mother at home. I was so disappointed because, he had promised to marry me. He claimed that the gold necklace was his property and that it was worth N850, 000. It was then that I decided to steal it. I knew that no matter how bad it turns, so long as the gold necklace will not be found, I would be very rich at the end of the day.

Continuing her tale, Tessy said: “I was so happy when the police at Area F agreed to release me on bail and I was already making plans as to what to do with the money. We were on our way home when some mean looking men re-arrested us . I was shattered, because I knew that my game was up. I tried to be strong but when they took me in for interrogation, I had no choice but to tell the truth on time. No criminal should pray to be taken to that place, because you will surely confess no matter how long.”

On how she managed to keep the necklace in her vagina for days unharmed, Tessy said: “In the business of prostitution, your vagina is the safest place to hide things especially money. We encounter all sizes, therefore your body adjusts easily. When I stole the necklace, I folded it in a cotton wool before I inserted it into my vagina. I couldn’t push the pendant completely inside but I managed the pains till I got to the police station. They all felt that I had kept it in the house or given it out”.

Confirming the incident, spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Ngozi Briade said that the suspect confessed to the crime and pulled the necklace out from her vagina, adding, “Investigation in the matter is ongoing.”
