The international participants are then paired with one of FORTUNE’s Most Powerful Women Leaders from companies like Time Inc., Avon, Wal-Mart, and Exxon Mobil in cities across the United States.

HEALTH TIP FOR THE WEEK-Is pizza good for you?

IS PIZZA GOOD FOR YOU?Maybe it is, as there has been new developed baking techniques, using higher temperatures and longer baking times, which raises the level of antioxidants- those molecules that protect us from cancer and disease –causing free radicals-in whole wheat pizza dough.

It maybe a while before the technique reaches South Africa but in the meanwhile there ways to enjoy your favourite Italian import without feeling too guilty,says nutritionists. ‘Pizza is generally healthier than other fast food because it isn’t fried. ‘But the extra kilojoules sneak in when you add meat toppings such as ham and salami- these are generally of the processed variety, so the fat tends to be saturated, and they’re high in salt’.

A Plain margaritas is best if you’re watching your waist but you can always add interest – and antioxidants- with vegetable toppings such as mushrooms, green pepper and garlic. ‘Portion size also makes a big difference, says Flint, ‘so share your pizza with your man or save some for tomorrow.

BEAUTY TIPS & TRICKS -Want the best beauty tips this week

EYES WAKE-UP:If you’ve woken up feeling tired (or hungover) wear gold eye make- up to make your eyes look whiter, more sparkly and awake. Line eyes with a gold pencil for maximum impact.

STAY HOT AND BEAUTIFUL:This year try and cut out skin products that contain alcohol when you are in the sun. It makes your skin more photosensitive, meaning it’s much more vulnerable to sunburn.

SHAVING AID:Run out of shaving gel? Use a hair conditioner. It doesn’t nick and the silicon ingredients help prevent red bumps.

KEEP SKIN MOISTURE RICH:If you have rough bumps on your arms this could be due to a lack of omega-3 fatty acids. Adding more oily fish or nuts to your hair diet will help to moisturize your skin from within.




MOP UP OILY PATCHES:
If you want to tackle oily skin, rub a slice of apple over the area twice a day and then splash will cold water. You’ll notice a real difference after a couple of days when the enzymes in the apple juice really start to work.



ENHANCE YOUR LIPS:
Get fuller lips, added shine and definition by using a little loose shimmery nude eyes shadow under your gloss. Dab a bit on the middle of the bottom lip and a small amount to the two arches of the upper lip.

SMOOTH FEET:
Get rid of rough skin on your feet by mashing up a banana, putting it on your heels and leaving on for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse well with warm water and your skin will be smooth and sorted.

MODEL OF THE WEEK-TRACY ONYEKACHUKWU

BY IFY


Can you spot her in the crowd? Well she is the naive looking girl in a yellow dress, sitting with her legs crossed. Starting off from a humble background , all TRACY had going for her at the time were fairy tale dreams of what she wanted to be- a model and schooling overseas. With a background like hers , this was just impossibe. So big were these dreams that ‘fear’[as she puts it] would not allow her ever voice out such. But she was strong willed and determined, she knew she would achieve it someway, somehow.


After wining the crown of Elite model look organised by Beth Modelling Agency- here in Nigeria, things started to happen for this "Chic"




Today, TRACY ONYEKACHUKWU’S dreams are being fulfilled as she is the first Nigerian to be a part of the ELITE MODEL LOOK, a world class model management and a totally unidentical twin, is on her way to the United Kingdom where she would be executing her three year contract with ELITE MODELLING AGENCY. TRACY started by relocating to lagos after the passing away of her father in umunede Delta state where she stayed with her mother. In a bid to survive in the harsh city of lagos, TRACY took up a job as a sales girl in computer village cynem investment ltd. It was while working there that she first heard about BETH MODELLING AGENCY.




Still not loosing sight of her dreams, TRACY enrolled as one of the 15 girls who took part in the Elites models look that was taking place at the time. Today TRACY who is the pride of her family and Beth modelling agency, would be walking the same road the likes of TYRA BANKS, NAOMI CAMPBELL, CINDY CRAWFORD etc all walked as ELITE was their propelling force. 5’10ft tall, TRACY is on point with achieving her dreams, as she struts her way into placing Nigeria once more on the map of world class models. See how she s blazing the ramp at the London fashion week.

Face Washing Tip: Use a Washcloth

A great way to gently exfoliate skin is simple: use a washcloth. The fabric naturally rids face of excess oils, dirt and build-up.

-Also, don't want to re-use a washcloth too many times.

- Do treat yourself with a warm washcloth every once in awhile (the warmer the washcloth, the more spa-like the cleansing).

-You can even get fancy with special peppermint oils. A quick nuke in the microwave and that scented washcloth will make you feel like you're in Veni Vici spa on Ligali Ayorinde, Victoria island , getting pampered for 5,000 naira.
