BEHIND THE SCENCES ( UK PHOTOSHOOT)
The day of the shoot. We set out early and get to jides studio ready to shoot. Then I realise I have no foundation or eyeshadow brushes!!! We set off to boots with iris and Lanray as well as Imelda in tow. A few knick knacks picked as well as the brushes and we start heading back home. Then Jide offers me macadamia nuts which I gobble. I noticed Iris's neck was quite dry and decided to moisturise with some cocoa butter. So I slather it on with my macadamia nut oil infested fingers. Next thing she starts I itching and crying. 2 mins later she has the biggest hives I have seen in a very long time. Her face swells at an alarming rate even as I gave her piriton. . It continued to swell and the ER was the only option. We all promptly drove to the hospital and here we are!! What an incredible start to the day! Caria finally arrives and I can't believe how slim she is. I focus on skin first and the shoot progressed as quickly as Iris's face swelled up.
Her trip to the ER yielded results as she was pronounced allergic to nuts and given anti histamines. JA was such a sport all the while and it was an amazing day I must say. And the images? The "oohs " and "ahhs" that filled the room with the first uploads was astounding!

FACT OR FICTION?
We have all heard or read some of
these myths. Some are true some are not so true. I find some absolutely
hilarious too……
Chocolate and Fatty foods cause acne.
There is no scientific evidence to indicate that diet plays a determining role.
The ‘westernized’ diet is high in preservatives, colourants and processed foods
and supports the most acne-prone populations. The Asian and Mediterranean
populations, however, generally eat more good fatty acids and far less
processed foods. Meanwhile our own saturated fat filled meals a.k.a. Ofada
stew, dodo, fried suya( Glover court suya/tozo)—even writing the name is making
me want to stop by! Makes me wonder if we are not doomed to battle acne all our
lives. But quite a number of lucky souls have never experienced acne so it
makes me wonder.Although acne is less common in these areas, the role of
genetic factor is unclear.
Acne is due to poor hygiene
The
blackness we see is a result of an oxidization process that turns the sebum and
dead cells black in colour. It is not dirt. In fact, over-cleansing can
aggravate acne.
Sunlight improves acne
The sun can seem to improve the
complexion, but it also suppresses the immune system. That is why acne often
seems to get worse a few weeks after sun exposure. The sun also stimulates
sebum secretion. It is more advisable to wear an oil-free sunscreen.
Diet
There is not enough evidence to
suggest that acne and diet are related but some people find out that certain
foods make their acne worse. Common culprits include Chocolate, caffeine, nuts,
high-fat and spicy foods, citrus fruits, Dairy Products, and food with a high
iodine contents such as artichokes, seaweeds, spinach and shellfish. Certain
medications can also cause a flare-up.
Stress
Stress
triggers the adrenal glands to release the hormone cortisol, which increase the
secretion of sebum.
