Early Christmas Shopping Due To COVID-19: A Preparation That Deserves Attention

Did you know it’s just a few months (2 months actually) to Christmas day?
If yes, are you planning?
If NO, then you need to start doing so as fast you can.
Why?
Because COVID-19 will still have a great impact on how retailers and physical stores will attend to customers.
And government policies will be in place to stop people from getting what they want.
Still trying to figure out what this means?
Read this article and you’ll have a clear understanding, plus tips to keep you afloat.
But first, would COVID affects Christmas?
Here are a few basic ideas:
Shop Early and Cut The Pressure
As we approach the year, especially in Nigeria, pressures of daily trolls start to step in, and if you’re not careful, you can sometimes be stuck in a rut and faced with pressures from every angle.
That’s a big reason to jump on your gift buying right now over inventory since COVID has disrupted the supply chain.
If there is something you really want, you may be wasting too much time trying to wait for a discount.
You should start placing your orders before the pressure deprives you of your necessities.
Just make sure you stick to your list so you don’t run out of finance during the Christmas season.
Shop Levels May Be Lower
Yes, we’re in a post-COVID season, but it’s also true that measures and restrictions are in place.
Overcrowding is disallowed in some areas. You’re not allowed to enter some corporate organizations without a nose mask and many others.
And especially when we are getting close to the end of the year, government agencies will impose some rules against overpopulation in sensitive areas.
This means one thing for business: many traditional brick-and-mortar stores will reduce the number of goods ordered.
For you, this means that you may not be able to get what you need, even when you have the money. So, what’s the solution?
Start getting your items now before it’s too late.
Tips For Better Shopping During Christmas Periods
What tips are available for a delightful Christmas shopping experience?
Well, not much!
The following are great ways to keep you going.
Start Shopping
As mentioned earlier, COVID-19 might affect the jobs and productivity of workers as well as retailers.
Make sure you set out early – get your important items stored at home before an alarming government policy sets in.
The sooner you patronize the store, the more likely you’ll get your stuff before it is sold out.
So get out of your bedroom and go all out for what will make your Christmas something to reflect on.
Shop With Your List
Like I’ve already hinted at, shopping without your shopping list can spell trouble.
Your list is your guide, it’s your map – your pointer to where you’re going. Make it so! Embrace it like an infant lab monkey clings to its wireframe mother.
Think Backup
It’s tempting to think you will always have everything you need as long as you have the money.
But that’s not really so!
There are instances that you will not get the exact product you want due to the number of people searching for it.
Make out an alternative for every core product on your list, just in case you don’t find them around.
In other words, have a backup plan or in a typical Nigerian saying, “have a plan B.”
Consider Shipping and Delivery Times
When entering into the Christmas season, there are always some certain downsides that can’t just be avoided.
One of them is shipping and delivery issues.
Whether you believe it or not, many people are already taking the initiative to start ordering their items for the Christmas season.
And that implies that ecommerce logistics partners will be busy attending to various needs.
What does that mean for you?
It means there may be unexpected shipping delays from various online vendors.
So don’t expect same-day delivery or anything of that sort. Be patient and calm. Your order will arrive in due time.
Map Out Your Shopping Beforehand
Since you want to limit movement due to COVID and other reasons, it’s a great idea to map out your shopping trips if you’ll be shopping at a traditional brick-and-mortar store.
Make a plan for the stores you plan to go to. What you plan on purchasing at each store, and in what order you’re going to navigate each store.
Get Ideas On Social Media
Are you stuck in a rut? Not knowing what to order? Why not try social media?
Most shoppers cringe at deciding on what to buy during the holiday season.
But you can avoid that by taking a sneak peek at what your social media friends order looks like.
By checking through your loved ones Instagram or Facebook profile, you can garner inspiration for what to shop for.
Conclusion
Coronavirus is still very much around. So don’t think your Christmas period will be without policies or rules.
Start getting your items as fast as possible.
Get on social media for inspiration and come back to store to shop.

8 Fastest Toyota Cars Of All Time

Known for developing excellent and iconic world-acclaimed cars, the Toyota company has been the favorite of many people for years and the days are counting.
Just because we now have brands like Honda taking the lead in the tech world doesn’t mean the Japanese automaker has completely dismissed themselves from the performance market.
Do you have a knack for speed?
Or love to race like a machine gun?
If yes, let’s talk about the fastest Toyota vehicles that supply such uniqueness that you probably are not aware of.
1. Toyota 86
Though it doesn't match anything similar to the iconic AE86 Trueno, the Toyota 86 has been made outstanding and famous by Initial D.
This iconic Toyota vehicle is powered by a Subaru boxer cylinder with close to 200hp, hitting from zero-to-60 within 6.2 seconds.
Whereas this may not be the fastest car alive, the fun and excitement of having this motivational engine is second to none.
2. Tacoma TRD PRO
As a light-duty heavy truck, the Tacoma Pro delivers incredible speed crooning at a range of 7.0 – 7.5 seconds.
Unusual for a truck, Tacoma is powered by the same engine (3.5L V6) as the Toyota Camry’s.
Weighing over 2,000 pounds heavier, the Tacoma encourages great utility, unlike any other vehicles we’d mention here.
3. Camry SE V6
Camry SE V6 is exceptionally and undoubtedly one of the most powerful Toyota cars ever lived.
And the reason isn’t far-fetched.
The car pumps out at 260 horsepower nailing upward to an incredible 300 horsepower with its 2019 XSE.
The car boasted 0-to-60 times in 7 seconds while another vehicle in its era settled in 10 seconds for their usual 0-to-60 runs.
4. Avalon XLE
The Toyota Avalon XLE is powered by a 3.5 liter V6 and has over 260hp.
The design of the Avalon XLE appeals much more often to the younger generations and has developed a tenacious high-profile following than any of its predecessors.
Unique for its capabilities, the Avalon XLE 2019 provides comfort in exchange for a noisier, pleasant, and sportier ride.
What’s more, it rolls to more than 60 mph in just 6.1 seconds.   
5. Cecilia GT-Four
At its peak, the Cecilia GT-Four is powered by an incredible 2.0-liter cylinder engine, rolling out more than 200 hp using a turbo.
As one of the old legends, the car became known for its stunning capabilities in the 1995 WRX rally, allowing owners to bypass restrictor plates and cheat competitors, thanks to its series of ingenious designs.
The sad news: they got nabbed and eventually banned from both the final race in 1995 and every of the 1996 races.
But that doesn’t argue that GT-four remains among the top-tier Toyota cars in the 1994 range, also seeing great superstars like MKIV twin-turbo Supra and MR2 Turbo.
6. MR 2 Turbo
As mentioned earlier, GT-four is one of the best racing Toyota vehicles alive.
But it wasn’t the only fast race car ever developed by Toyota, MR2 Turbo was also great in his days.
The car produces 260 horsepower and boasts 6.2 seconds in around 0-to-60 time.
This JDM monster stunningly stocked the burning in the days of JDM gearheads.
Unfortunately for him, Toyota removed the MR2 Turbo from the Firestone Firehawk  Series back in 1992.
But the tracks they left led to many successful street variants.
7. Corolla MK V-AE86
While people are cheering for other Toyota cars, the MK V Toyota Corolla stood out from the competition becoming a “daring monster” in his age.
Made famous for its initial D, the car AE86 overcame Nissan GT-R with its immensely light body and incredible cornering capabilities.
The car capped out 7600 RPM outsmart rivals in split seconds and allow drivers to dive and exit corners at extremely high rev rates without power.
8. Camry Solara SE Sport
If you wanted a Camry SE V6 and – for some reasons best known to you – couldn’t afford it, going for its counterpart (Camry Solara) is your best bet.
With the same quality – but a bit slower – Camry Solara is a more affordable version of Camry SEV6 relying on a 3.3-liter V6 power plant and racing at over 200 hp.
This excellent sport car isn’t only affordable, it also run within close range with SE V6 scooting from 0-to-60 in a split 6.9 seconds

5 Ways To Take Care Of Your Skin [Recommended By Toke Makinwa]
Proper skin care is critical to a healthy lifestyle that achieves greater goals and fulfills destiny.
But most people care less about their skin, using poor makeup products and exposing themselves to toxic substances that leave their skin rough, wrinkled, and aging.
You might have even already incorporated some skincare practice into your daily routine…but are you doing it correctly?
In case you're stuck and don't know if you're going in the right direction, here's what beauty expert and actress, Toke Makinwa, recommends:
1. Wash Your Face Twice Daily
The advice to wash your face twice daily or regularly sounds simple and basic, but you shouldn’t despise it for its seeming simplicity.
In fact, doing this less (or not doing it at all) can make your skin pores become clogged which may result in serious acne.
Regular skin cleansing is critical to maintaining clean, healthy, and glowing skin.
Every day, the skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays of the sun, viruses, bacteria, dirt, pollutants, and dead skin cells.
Regular facial washing helps you remove these impurities and other unwanted debris that form clogs on your face.
Keeping a daily face cleansing habit (alongside using moisturizer) also helps to keep the face hydrated, eliminating wrinkles and roughness associated with aging skin.
2. Drink Lots Of Water
Water is an important element in the body and drinking some glasses of water regularly helps our skin in some way.
If you’re looking for a natural way to take care of your skin, then you should probably try taking an ample amount of water regularly to get that beaming, glowing and healthy skin you desire.
Additionally, drinking ample amount of water daily helps to:
Slowly tighten your skin, maintaining a healthy glow.
Keep a balanced PH value
Flush out harmful toxic substances
Keep the body hydrated, reducing wrinkles and scars.
Prevent pimples and acne.
3. Moisturize
Moisturizing the skin is a critical step and good practice to help the skin stay healthier.
Without proper moisture on the skin, its healthy cells are likely to wear out or become irritated.
Those who properly moisturize their skin during their teenage years are more likely to enjoy a radiant and beautiful skin tone and complexion when they’re much older.
With proper moisturizing, you can fight against further skin breakouts and acne which is a consequence of dry and irritated skin.
Regularly doing this also helps protect the skin from future skin problems. 
4. Eat Enough Fruits and Veggies
Great skin is not only as great as the amount of nutrients and components it contains.
Good fruits and vegetables are excellent recipes to add to your daily routine if you’re in the race for healthy skin.
Fruits and vegetables contain strong antioxidants that help protect the skin from damages caused by free radicals.
These free radicals caused by smoking, pollution, and sunlight can cause wrinkles or make our skin look old.
Thus, regular intake of fruits and vegetables is important to help maintain healthy skin tone and cell development.
Spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin are good recipes for skincare.
5. Quality Makeup Products Only
Makeup products are introduced into our world to transform the normally dull, aging appearance into glittering, rejuvenating, and elated.
Some people also wear makeup to create a match with their clothing or fashion style.
However, wearing poor makeup will only do more harm than good.
For instance, many makeup products contain heavy oils, waxes, preservatives, and chemical products which can cause skin irritation.
Most cheap makeup products use cheap ingredients which may hurt the skin the most.
Thus, it’s probably advisable to go for only quality makeup products if you’re willing to maintain your skin tone and radiance.

However, owning housing property in Nigeria can seem like a great struggle if you lack the proper technical know-how and guidance.
For instance, you’ll have to go through a series of processes before getting to obtain a house in big cities like Lagos and Abuja.
These choice locations demand a little carefulness and proper guidance so you don’t end up throwing your hard-earned money into the scrap heap all in the name of buying a house.
But, does it have to be that technical?
Certainly not.
Today, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process to become the next house owner, even in your favorite city.
Let’s begin at once.

Credit: Privatelocation
#1. Find Out The Value Of The Property
Successful investors always find out about the worth of the property they are investing in before diving into the investment.
They want to know if the house will be profitable and add value to their life or business. And that’s exactly the approach you want to take before investing.
I’m sure you don’t want your hard-earned to vanish so soon. You want to ensure that the house is worth its weight of gold.
Gauge the potential growth of this investment, will it bring you a 5%-30% increase within the next few years?
If not, why spend so much money only to get peanuts?
#2. Make Adequate Research About The Seller Of The Property
Yes, you’re all excited to start living in the house and start living in the future as soon as possible, but hear this… 
Before settling to buy a house, make sure you know the actual seller.
 The reason for this isn’t far-fetched if you consider the endless amount of scam issues experienced in this present day. Among other things be sure to know:
Who is the owner of the property?
Who is marketing the property?
Is it the owner, the owner’s partner, son, daughter, or somebody else?
Whose name is on the document? Is it the owner or the previous owner?
What liabilities presently exist on the property?
And other relevant questions
#3. Verify The True Owner Of The Property
Before purchasing the plot of land or building, you want to make sure you check the “necessities,” one of which includes knowing the actual owner of the house.
You want to search for the property. This can include verifying from appropriate authorities if the property in question is inside the government non-inheritable properties or not.
You could also find out if there are any unfinished proceedings or problems on the property.
Also, note that you can refer all land-connected matters to The Bureau of Lands of Urban Center States.
They are the ones in charge of all land-connected matters in the urban center states. They have joint work in the Government secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja, Urban Center African country.
#4. Make Payment And Collect The Proper Documents
After checking through the above, you want to pay the property stipulated amount to the landowner and collect the:
Purchase receipt
Building arrangement
Contract of sales
Original copies of the relevant documents in possession of the owner
#5. File The Documentation For The New Purchase With The Authorities
Ensure you take the necessary steps to make sure the property checks the rules of all government-appropriate authorities to avoid punishments from the law shortly.
For instance, if the property already includes a C of O (certificate of occupancy), you are safe with the government. If not, then you gotta begin processing your C of O as shortly as doable.
#6. Appoint Associate Degree Factor to Assist Manage the Property.
Doing this will safeguard your investment, especially if you reside outside Urban Center African Countries or Overseas. People from the United Nations agency have been endowed with great success in the Urban Center African Country

Help reduce body fat
Help you get rid of belly fat

While there are so many rumors all around the internet claiming this tea doesn’t work, effectively and carefully taking this herbal drink according to the manufacturer's directive can play a major role in achieving the magic you desired.
Many of these unpleasant rumors come from people who stopped halfway using the tea or those who don’t even use the tea at the proper time they are supposed to. Needless to say, the tea can be a game-changer when used correctly.
Common Ingredients Of A Flat Tummy Tea and Their Associated Side-effects
Don't be fooled, there isn’t anything, not one medical drug or even herbal treatment in today’s world that doesn’t come with its own side effects.
Though many manufacturers try to claim their product is without flaws, but, we both know that is a blatant lie. And so it is with the flat tummy tea. Though the flat tummy product can deliver exceptional results, win you more friends and make you live the life of your dream, it isn’t without some negative effects when the given instructions are not correctly followed.
Let’s go over together some common ingredients of the flat tummy tea and their never-known side effects.
Moringa

Present in the flat tummy tea is the herbal moringa leaf, a plant native to the Indians, but grown worldwide in various tropical and subtropical regions.
Moringa is being used for various treatments including asthma, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and many other diseases.
It could also be used to treat stomach disorders, such as constipation, ulcerative colitis, and gastritis. However, the presence of moringa in the tea can result in some side effects which includes:
Fertility issues which may result in difficulty in giving birth
Slow heartbeat and lower blood pressure which can be triggered by the alkaloids present in the plant
Miscarriage for pregnant women – the root bark of moringa is used to terminate pregnancy
Cell mutations

Oolong Tea

In many common Nigerian flat tummy tea, you’ll find the Oolong tea which is a product made from stems, buds, and leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Oolong tea is also a major ingredient in the production of prominent green tea and black tea.
Commonly used to boost mental alertness, Oolong tea is also great for treatments of obesity, osteoporosis, and heart diseases.
Many other researches also show that Oolong tea might lower blood sugar in type 2 diabetes patients and can also reduce high blood pressure and many other great benefits.
But this amazing herbal drink is not without its own side effects because of the presence of caffeine. Some of the side effects include:
Serious headache
Nervousness
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Irregular heartbeat
Dizziness
Seizures
And heartburn
Green Tea

Green tea is also a product of the Camellia Sinensis plant and is composed of the steam and dried leaves of the plant. The tea is composed of a greater amount of some healthy chemical compounds which are known as polyphenols. 
For decades, green tea has been used to treat numerous health challenges including diarrhea, nausea, and stomach-related issues. Many research shows that the chemical present in green tea can be used to prevent inflammation, swelling, and obesity.
The tea contains a little amount of caffeine (around 2-4%) which makes it a great treatment for improving mental alertness, stimulating the nervous system, and boosting thinking.
Just like the other ingredients of a flat tummy tea mentioned above, green tea has its own downside, and drinking too much of it may result in many of these negative effects:
Stomach upset, jitteriness, and headaches
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Increased bleeding disorders
High blood pressure
Osteoporosis
Diabetes
Diarrhea

Senna Tea

Commonly known to be an over-the-counter laxative, Senna leaf which is found in many Nigerian flat tummy tea, is used to clear the bowel and treat constipation and can be combined with other ingredients to achieve a flat tummy.
Senna leaf is an FDA-approved drug for maintaining long-term alkaline urine and tubular disorders. However, Senna is a laxative, and going overboard with it can have a laxative effect on the user.
In fact, the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) mentioned that “laxative abuse occurs when a person attempts to eliminate unwanted calories, lose weight, feel empty, or feel thin through the repeated use of laxative.”
This means that a non-regulated use of Senna leaf which is among the ingredients of the flat tummy tea can do more harm than good. Here are some side effects of using Senna leaf:
Menstrual cramps
Diarrhea
Excessive bowel activity
Nausea (vomiting)
Abdominal pain
Heart function disorders
Liver damage
Muscle weakness
Bowels can stop functioning, causing complete dependence on laxatives and so on

How To Avoid These Flat Tummy Side Effects
From the points listed above, you can notice the major causes of these side effects are either not following the manufacturer's prescriptions or going overboard trying to use this flat tummy treatment every time.
Therefore, the solution to avoiding this flat tummy side effect is simply obeying and following the instructions and usage recommended by the producing company.
Pregnant women shouldn’t try drinking more than 3 cups of flat tummy tea as this can lead to miscarriage.
Nursing mothers shouldn’t take too much of this tea as the presence of caffeine in the Oolong tea which is a major ingredient in the flat tummy tea can cause irritability, sleep issues, and increased bowel activity in the Bosom -fed baby.
Additionally, green tea can interact with some prescribed drugs and treatment, so it’s advisable to reach out to your doctor before drinking the tea regularly.
Wrapping Up
The flat tummy isn’t as bad as many think it is and can help you achieve your desired goal – getting a flat tummy – when used correctly.
More so, the flat tummy tea alone may not do too much magic to your health. Stick to best practices, exercise, diet correctly, and use this tea and the result will marvel you.

Aging is a usual process for every human being. Aging, in a complex language, can be called as the time associated deterioration of the physical, mental as well as physiological functions that are necessary for survival and development and growth. With increase in age, a human being goes through innumerous inevitable changes. The major ones that everyone, especially women is more scared of; are the damages caused to skin due to aging. This is a process that most people would like to slow, in fact stop! After a certain age, symptoms of aging can be seen on skin as the collagen content starts decreasing per unit area. According to a study, every year collagen decreases by 1 percent with increase in age.
Aging is of two types namely intrinsic age and extrinsic age. The intrinsic aging is caused due to genetic factors whereas, on the other hand, extrinsic aging is caused by outer and external factors namely, sun exposure, smoking, diet, lifestyle and many more. Coming to the symptoms of aging we have, damaged, dull skin and with increasing wrinkles on your skin. Another term for wrinkles is waviness. These damages are concerned with fibers misalignment”, which in simple terms means to displace from the original position. With increase in age, collage goes on gradual decrease and the skin layer goes on in a losing state which leads to wrinkles. Other factors that lead to wrinkles are smoking, ultraviolet irradiation, alcohol, diet, genetic factors. And also the accumulated cellular damage is a major cause of reactive molecules also called free radicals and the shortening of telomere, which are the structures located at the ends of chromosomes that play an important role in cellular division.
Aging is an inevitable process but human beings have constantly been putting innumerous efforts since decades to increase the human lifespan and slow down the aging process through scientific research. Not the ultimate goal has been fulfilled, but at least through these researches, scientists have been successful in finding a large number of organic herbs and drugs that have anti-aging properties. These herbs have proved their way along the time through which many humans take them as supplements and have been reaching the goal to decelerate the aging process and prevent age-related disease.
So, to help you out with all the chaos about where, when and how to start, we are here! This article aims at 5 best anti-aging herbs or drugs that can be taken as supplements to repair damaged and wrinkled skin. Remember it is never too late or too early to start something and change things in your life. Here are 5 supplements with anti-aging properties.

The 5 Best Anti-Aging herbs or drugs that can be taken as supplements to repair damaged and wrinkled skin:
Curcumin:
Curcumin is the major compound of turmeric and is a proven source as an herb that possesses powerful and incomparable anti-aging properties that are associated with its potent antioxidant potential. As you grow old, there are senescent cells that stop dividing and start accumulating. This process is called Cellular senescence which is believed to lead to accelerated aging and disease progression and physical disabilities.
So, Researchers have proven and demonstrated that curcumin helps in activation of certain proteins that includes sirtuins and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), these proteins delay cellular senescence and promote longevity.
Thus, to increase your curcumin intake, you can add turmeric to your diet. By not using turmeric directly, use it in your recipes or the other way, you can take direct curcumin supplements to get faster results.
Thus summarizing it, Curcumin is the main active compound that helps proteins to activate which delay cellular senescence and promotes longevity. This is a major compound of turmeric.

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a popular polyphenol compound that is concentrated and is a major compound in green tea. It offers impressive health benefits, among all these, the most effective benefit that it offers is its ability to promote longevity and protect against age-related disease development.
It also has been a proven source that induces autophagy. Autophagy is a process by which damaged cellular material gets removed from your body and also it helps in building a protecting layer. Thus, summarizing it, Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) can indirectly be consumed by having green tea that is a major source of this herb. Or you can directly take concentrated supplements for faster and more effective results.

Collagen
Collagen is the major component of youth. It has been promoted as a fountain of youth since ages for its incomparable potential to reduce the appearance of aged, damaged and wrinkled skin. It is the most important and integral component of your skin that helps in maintaining skin structure. But, due to gradual aging, collagen production enzymes slow down and this leads to lack of collagen in your skin that leads to gradual acceleration of aging causing damages to skin. Summarizing, you can consume direct collagen dietary supplements that will help in prevention of skin aging that leads to boosting of collagen levels in your skin.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10):
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant agent that is produced in my body by various enzymes. This antioxidant plays an essential role in energy production and acts as a protection against cellular as well as skin damage. With increase in your age, levels of CoQ10 decline gradually. Thus supplementing your diet with Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) to increase in its level will inevitably show improvement in many aspects of health in older individuals, majorly including anti-aging benefits and repairs to the wrinkled and damaged skin. But, do not forget to consult a trusted healthcare professional before giving it a try, to ensure that your body will not react inversely or against you in context of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Summarizing it, you can consume direct Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) dietary supplements that will help in prevention of skin aging faster and more efficiently.
 
Nicotinamide riboside and nicotinamide mononucleotide:
Nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) are precursors to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). NAD+ is a popular compound that is found in every cell in our body and it is involved in many crucial, complex and critical processes majorly including energy metabolism, DNA repair, and gene expression. With increasing age, NAD+ levels keep going on a decline in original produced levels and this decline is thought to be associated with accelerated physical decline and the onset of age-related diseases like Alzheimer’s. Summarizing it, you can consume direct Nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) dietary supplements that will help in prevention of skin aging that leads to boosting of antioxidant levels in your skin. Supplementing with NMR and NR may help boost NAD+ levels in your body and prevent age-associated genetic changes.
Thus, the top five antioxidants for anti-aging are Nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), Collagen, Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and Curcumin and are the most beneficial in anti-aging processes and repairing damaged and wrinkled skin.

WHY STYLING IS IMPORTANT…..and the psychology behind.

Have you ever heard of young teenagers shopping and shopping as a coping mechanism? Well that’s because psychology has noted the comfort some people find in hiding themselves behind clothes.

Clothing is a medium to express ourselves and how we style it, is our original “expression of ourselves”.
Styling is a way to feel in control of your own identity. Often underestimated, styling is very important. It is also a way to control how our environment perceives us.  It lets us structure our personalities in the form of accessories and clothing. It will act as an independent loose skin on your body and bring out the inner YOU.

You could be using our creativity and novelty to mold your styling looks.

WHAT MATERIAL TO GO FOR…..FOR YOUR NATIVE WEAR

Ankara, Guinea, Lace and Linen are the most commonly chosen material for structuring traditional wear. These days, even trouser material is being used very much.
Selecting the right material for your attire concerns what you love and enjoy wearing the most. What is comfortable enough and what looks the best on you. Well this is something to also be careful of, since while looking at materials online, you may feel that any one of them might suit your look.

Another thing to be particular about while picking your material is that many styles have a certain material that suits the entire attire. In case of those, it is advisable to stick to it.
