Heart By The Elegancy

Moringa Tree or MLONGE as we call it in Swahili Language ,is one of the nutrient plants in the world. When I say nutrient Plant I mean the Most Nutrient-rich Plant in the world. Moringa has been exploding in popularity lately and for good reason, it is generally regarded as one of the most useful trees in the world.

Moringa has a distinct taste that is difficult to describe, difficult to compare slightly sweet and slightly sharp like radishes.. Or simply amazing and delicious taste that is difficult to explain (OMG).

Moringa can be interm of Seeds, Oil, powder or Fresh. I prefer using Moringa powder

Using Moringa for the first time can temporarily cause diarrhea, due to the high concentration of antioxidants that cleans waste products from the digestive system. If this occurs, begin with a lower dosage and slowly build it up to the required dosage

Since I started using Moringa, I Use in almost everything hahaha… i mix in juice, yoghurt or food, it’s very delicious (I got used with the taste). Yes, you can use Moringa daily, 2 to 5 times per day; there are no known harmful side effects.

With Moringa leaf powder, Moringa tabl and/or Moringa capsules you can easily meet the daily dose requirements.

ets

Moringa can be eaten in salads, smoothies, juices, sauces, soups and hot dishes. Can also be sprinkled over food, the same way as salt and pepper.

No side effects of moringa leaves have been reported. Hence, it can be safely consumed by children in porridge, pastas and breads to increase the nutrient content of meals

It is a natural flavor enhancer; it brings out the natural flavor of the food

What is more is that it is especially good for men and especially useful in healthy sexual functioning. It’s true! The amazing healing capabilities and borderline miraculous support that it provides to the human body makes this one of the easiest ways for men to support their sexual health while also, conveniently, boosting their overall health as well. Let’s breakdown the different ways that Moringa is good for both Humans

Whether you've just started working in a shoe department and want to be able to talk the lingo, or you've recently gotten really into fashion, knowing your shoe definitions is a useful skill. When it comes to high heeled shoes, we have a special place in our hearts. So we've decided to create the ultimate list of types of heels. Some of these have gone out of style but with the cyclical fashion industry, we won't be surprised if they make a comeback soon. Without further ado, we give you 27 heel types. Think you could ace the quiz?

High, Mid and Low Heel Types

Kitten Heels
We recently wrote about kitten heelsand love the style for the comfort / fashion mix. They're great for parties or work events where you don't need the extra height but will be on your feet for awhile.
Pumps
Also known as simply high heels, pumps are usually wider and between 2 and 3 inches in height. They're typically low cut around the front.
Stilettos
The highest of all the high heels, stilettos can reach up to 8 inches. While these heights can cause problems walking for many, it's a worthy skill for the lengthening effect they have on one's legs. Note: many stilettos are also platforms due to the height (see below for platforms).
Ankle Strap Heels
A favorite of the Clickless team, ankle strap heels are very much in style right now. The height of the heel can vary, but the one common denominator is the strap that goes around the ankle, making the heels more secure and comfortable to walk in.
Wedge Heels
There are two different types of wedge shoes: wedge heels and wedge sandals. Wedge heels are flush just like a high heel would be, and there is no separation from the heel to the sole.
Wedge Sandals
While they have the same type of heel as a wedge heel, wedge sandals have a more open, sandal upper.
Cone Heels
Wider at the sole of the foot and narrower at the base, cone heels form what you might expect: a cone. Just picture an ice cream cone on the bottom of your shoe. Disclaimer: while we know you love your shoe collection, please try not to eat them.
Sling Back Heels
Unlike ankle strap heels, the sling back heel just has a strap that goes around the back of the achilles heel. This provides a more elegant look while still achieving the function of stabilization.
Platform Heels
You can see platform heels from short to tall. The main thing that makes them platform is the part of the shoe under the sole is thicker. Many say this makes the higher heels more comfortable because there's less of a height differential between the back and front of the foot.
High Heel Sandals
With varying heights, a high heel sandal is anything that has any of the heel types listed here (high, stiletto, kitten), but with a sandal upper.
Peep Toe Heels
Somewhat of a tease, peep toe heels come in all shapes and sizes. All they need is for a pop of your colorful toenails to show to be a peep toe!
Cork High Heels
These heels simply refer to the cork material used to make them. They can vary in height and style, but the cork material makes for a softer, more cushioned step.
High Heeled Boots
Steve Miller said, "in the wintertime when all the trees are brown, wear high heeled boots". Okay, we made that last part up. But these babies pair well under or over jeans or even with a skirt or dress.
Ankle Booties
Making their comeback within the last few years, high heeled booties, or ankle booties, are great for spring or fall days when a full boot is overkill.
Spool Heels
If you think of a spool of thread, you may understand the concept of spool heels. The heel is thicker at the sole of the foot, narrow in the middle, and then comes back out at the base.
Mules
Mule heels are any type of heel that comes up high over the top of the foot. You could have an open or closed to mule; the height of the heel can vary.
Ballroom Dance Shoes
Strappy shoes that typically have an enclosed back and ankle strap, ballroom dance shoes have lots of support for (you guessed it) getting your groove on. They're low enough to be stable but high enough to provide a little vertical lift. They're becoming more popular at weddings.
Cut Out Heels
Getting more on the funky, cool side of high heel types, cut out heels are any type of heel that has a portion of the upper cut out for effect.
Corset Heels
Similar to a mule style of heel or a bootie, the difference with a corset heel is that the two sides are tied together as a traditional corset would be.
French Heels
Also known as Louis Heels or Pompador Heels, these are similar to spool heels wherein they are short but have some curve to the heel.
Oxfords
The traditional Oxford has that academy look with a flat heel. But lately, we're seeing Oxford heels come on the scene. The heel is still flat at the base, but with more height than a traditional Oxford.
Chunky Heels
This is the general term for any heel with a wider base that is typically square. They're usually on the short to medium side, and provide more stability than traditional high heels or stilettos.
Comma Heels
Think of the comma. Yes, we're referring to the punctuation mark. Now line that up with the heel of a shoe, and you have a comma heel!
Espadrille Heels
Somewhat new on the fashion scene, Espadrille shoes have a fabric upper and a plaited fiber sole, made popular worldwide by Toms. Espadrille heels are a take on this traditional flat, and can have a heel or wedge base.
Fantasy Heels
Here's the wildcard heel type to cover all of the crazy designs out there. There are so many types of heels you could never think of in your head, and yet they do exist. We're not sure who wears them other than maybe Lady Gaga, but they do exist.

#Heartache

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

"Abraham Lincoln"

Life is Like riding a bicycle to keep your balance you must keep moving

"Entrepreneur"

A term that is bandied about too much, if you ask me.

There's nothing wrong with doing your Thing with someone else or for someone else, so don't get hung up that you **must** be an entrepreneur to really do your Thing. Sure, it's easier to do exactly what you want the way you want to when you're in charge, but there are plenty of smart businesses that will realise that you being allowed to do your Thing the way you want to do it will benefit their business and give them the best results from employing you. So don't worry if you're not an entrepreneur.

You can still be independent—you just don't have to be enterprising.

Lots of people say they're an entrepreneur but really, when it comes down to it (and if we're being pedantic, which I am!), they may just be 'self-employed'. And there's nothing wrong with being self-employed. In fact, it's a smart move if you don't want to have a boss—you can do what you want, how you want, when you want, as you have created your own job and you set your hours and pay. What you might not be is entrepreneurial.

And it's that risk-taking that makes the difference to me.

If you're happy to just do your Thing—get paid for it—all is well, but you're probably not an entrepreneur—just a self-employed, or employed even, Thinger. It's when you take risks—either the risk of standing out, of doing something differently, of calling yourself a 'name', of standing by a process or philosophy that's yours—then you're an entrepreneur.

You're also probably a little bit crazy. Crazy in the 'daring and don't give a stuff' kinda way. Sure, you're doing your Thing, but you'll do it no matter what anyone thinks. You'll do your Thing because it's your Thing to do and if you have to stand out in the process than so be it. It's not always necessary to be an entrepreneur to be a Business Celebrity, but it's likely.

Because when it comes down to it, if you really want to get noticed for doing your Thing, you'll need to do things differently—and that includes your Thing being different. You'll probably have to take a risk that your Thing works, and is going to cause a commotion—and that's all good... that makes you a risk-taking entrepreneur, so let the good times roll because profit will be your reward.

And if you want to do your Thing quietly as a self-employed Thinger, please go ahead—it's what ever works for you. Just know that if you really want to get famous for it, you might need to take a risk or two... and that might just make you an entrepreneur instead.

Anyone who suffers from acne will also have the problem of black or whiteheads on the face. Whiteheads, also known as closed comedones in medical terms, form when dead skin cells and sebum block the hair follicles. They develop under the skin and look like white bumps. Blackheads, on the other hand, are open hair follicles filled with lots of dead skin cells and sebum that have developed because of oxidation. Whiteheads are very common in people who have oily skin. Other causes include unhealthy diet, stress, acne, smoking and unclean face. The symptoms are similar to those of acne, only difference is that whiteheads are not painful. Whiteheads are easy to remove and can be prevented at home, by using these remedies.

Home Remedies for Whiteheads

1. Oatmeal Scrub

Scrubbing helps open up the blocked hair follicles. You can buy a good scrub from your local store or make one at home by mixing sugar, honey and oatmeal. Take 1/3 cup of oatmeal, ¼ cup of brown sugar and ¼ cup of honey. Mix the ingredients and apply small amounts on your skin. Massage gently for 5 minutes, and then rinse it off with warm water.

2. Facial Steaming

Steaming is the best way to get rid of whiteheads, as it unblocks the clogged skin pores. Take a facial steam, once in a day.

3. Tomatoes

Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and are very good for dull skin. Simply rub the pulp of a tomato on the face, focus more on the areas with whiteheads. Leave it for 5 minutes and then wash.

4. Milk

Simply mix 2 tablespoons of milk with a tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of salt. Stir well. Apply it on the face in a circular motion. Wash it off with water and pat your skin dry.

Alternatively, mix 4 tablespoons of whole milk and 1 tablespoon of regular salt in a bowl. Massage gently on the face. Wash it off after 20 minutes with cold water. Repeat two times in a day.

5. Potato Face Mask

To make the face mask, blend a few raw potatoes and apply the paste on your face. Wait for 30 minutes, and then rinse it off.

6. Toothpaste

The fluoride in the toothpaste can help cure both acne and whiteheads. Simply apply a gel- based paste to the affected area of the face, let it stay for a few minutes, and then wash it off with cold water.

7. Egg and Honey Mix

Egg whites make the skin pores firm, and honey acts as a moisturizer. Mix ½ teaspoon of almond oil, 1 tablespoon of organic yogurt, egg whites from 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of warm honey. Mix well all the ingredients using a fork. Apply a thin layer on the face. Let it sit for 30 minutes. Use warm water to rinse it off.

8. Benzoyl Peroxide

Benzoyl peroxide works as an antibacterial agent which reduces the blockage that causes whiteheads. Utilize benzoyl peroxide, only if you suffer from a moderate case of closed comedones.

9. Clay Mask

Clay mask helps exfoliate dead skin cells. Apply a thin layer and allow it to dry for 10 minutes. Wash it off with lukewarm water.

10. Baking Soda

Mix baking soda with water and make a thick paste. Apply this paste on your face and let it sit until it dries. Wash off with warm water.

11. Warm Towel

Dip a towel in warm water. Then, squeeze out all the water. Put the towel on your face as you lie down on your back. This will help open up pores. Use this remedy for at least 10 minutes every day, at night before you hit the hay.

12. Lemon

Apply lemon juice on your face with the help of a cotton ball. The citric acid will open up the pores, and dry the excess oil.

13. Apple Cider Vinegar

This is best used after a steam bath. Apply some apple cider vinegar on your face and let it dry. Do not rinse.

14. Corn Starch

Mix corn starch with vinegar in the ratio 3:1 to make a paste. Apply this to the affected area and leave it on for 15 minutes. Next, wash off using warm water.
