JERRILYN MULBAH FLOATS FITNESS CENTRE AND NGO

Fast-rising music star Jerrilyn Mulbah announced this
week, that she’s floating a 3-in-1 fitness centre. The debutant says
the fitness centre would comprise of a Gym, Spa and Healthy eating
restaurant. According to her “people are getting extra conscious of
their health with regards to their weight, but the problem is they
don’t know exactly what healthy meals to eat especially after
exercising in order to watch their weight.
“For this reason, I have decided to open a fitness centre that would
cater for this need for healthy eating along with the Gym and Spa. It
will not be the regular eatery where you find snacks and other fatty
meals. We are going to make available fruits and natural juice of all
kinds. Also, meals that contain proper nutrient with the proper
vegetables that provide the appropriate vitamins our body needs would
also be included in themenu”.
The centre is also going to render bespoke services by professionals
in local herbs preparation that helps in eliminating excess
cholesterol in the body. “These days, people buy all sorts of
medication just to reduce sugar in their system and burn unwanted fat
in different areas in their body. Some of these medications are
harmful to one’s health so, we are bringing natural herbs clinically
tested and approved that would solve this problem” Jerrilyn says.
Health is wealth and it is not only about what you eat we are
interested in but, how you take care of yourself in general. This
includes knowing the kind of cream you should use, what you should
look out for before attempting to but your cream and even perfumes. We
all have different skin types and they don’t have equal capacity to
absorb certain chemicals used in making cream so, this and more would
be learned in the centre.
“I am very excited about this development because, aside my music, I
am very conscious of my skin, weight and what I eat and I know that I
am not alone. So I have decided to do this. It should also be noted
that, we would have in the centre from time to time speakers coming in
to educate people on the importance of healthy living”.
Jerrilyn’s new single Molejo and Mr DJhave hit the airwave across
Nigerian Radio stations and are gaining grounds already in the music
industry. She plans to release her debut album this year. However, she
is presently working on other songs that would make up the album.
Jerrilyn was among the top 5 finalist in the 2007 West African Idols
held in Nigeria. The Liberian-born singer now lives in Nigeria with
her daughter.

As Spring 2012 shows starst in September,  Kanye would be debuting his collection for both men and women then. Whether or not he will stage a high-fashion runway show or a more streamlined presentation is still unknown.Speculations are that he might go the route of Tom Ford and keep his collection strictly for the eyes of editors and fashion buyers, but as we all know,  Kanye is one for drama and will most likely want to make the collection visible to his fans worldwide.

BEAUTY - Sweat-Proof Makeup Secrets

Warm weather is a beauty gift and a curse. The plus side? Heated temperatures can serve as inspiration to try bright colors and golden shimmery looks that glisten in the sun. The down side is these sizzling looks can quickly take a turn for the worse as a result of perspiration. Below are some useful tips that can help you get through the day.


There is no worse look than streams of running foundation topped with sweat bubbles. Runny makeup is a beauty faux pas that with the right tools can be easily avoided.

- Keep shine controllers handy.
A smooth, matte makeup look won’t last long if you’re going to be exposed to the sun or partaking in any kind of physical activity. That’s why shine reducing tools like blotting paper and oil-control rolls should be a mainstay in your purse or everyday travel beauty kit. If you prefer not to blot your makeup, try a shine control moisturizer or gel.

- Don’t shy away from tints and stains.
Invest in a few lip and cheek tints or stains to extend the life of your makeup while on the go. They last longer than a regular blush shade or lip color. For the lips, try to avoid creamy lipsticks. If you do rock them, use a sealant over the hue. Don’t own any cheek tints? Try using lipstick or a lip tint to do the trick.

-Primers are a girl’s best friend.
If you want long-lasting makeup, you have to use makeup primer. Not only do they help makeup stay on your face longer, they prep the skin by creating a matte, oil-absorbing palette before application.

- Embrace tinted moisturizer.
Sometimes a fully made-up face can actually feel too heavy especially in superhot weather. For a lighter formula with good coverage, use a tinted moisturizer.

- Oil-free is the way to be.
Substitute oil-based products with liquid, gel and powder formulas. For eyes, many of the kohl pencils are wax-based which melt or are more prone to running in humid weather. To combat this, opt for gel and liquid eyeliners. The same applies for foundation and concealer. Look for oil-free cosmetics with ingredients such as silica, a mineral that reduces shine.
