I believe in the power of nature. This is why I seek out ways to naturally live a healthy life.
One major challenge we all face is with our facial hygiene. This section of our body is highly exposed to dirt, dust, chemicals from make-up, etc which if not handled properly will cause white head, black heads, inflammation and acne, due to clogged pores.
How important is it then to unclog the pores of your skin? Very important!
Here is a way you can unclog within the confines of nature:
INGREDIENTS
· Banana Half finger
· Organic Honey 1 tsp
· Cream 1 tsp
· Orange Juice 4 tsp
PROCEDURE
· First nicely cleanly your face and hand.
· Warm up the honey till it turns into liquid and immerse in hot water.
· Mash the banana and add the cream, honey and orange juice. Then beat properly till its smooth in texture.
· Now take in your tip of your finger and apply gently in your face.
· Now lie down, relax and leave the mask on for 15 minutes
· Then wash it off with warm water and pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Finally apply a moisturizer.
Go ahead and try this, you will be glad you did!

INTERVIEW: SCARY OR DELIGHTFUL?
It might amaze you how much people dread interviews and how much flaws even intelligent people exhibit during intervew sessions. One thing we need to realize is that to succeed at anything, there are basic knowledge and information you require, simple things but very needful.
The following top tips will help you be prepared, relaxed, confident and ensure that you will bring out the best you have to offer during an interview session.
Read on:
1. Your CV: This is one document which goes ahead of you and trust me, it tells a lot about you to your interviewer. It reflects, not just your credentials but also your potentials such as attention to details, organizational abilities, professionalism, etc. You need to get it right here!
2. Be Prepared: Get all your credentials ready, don't leave out any unless asked to. Interviewers will like to see a backup document for the things you quote on your CV. That makes it credible. Don't forget to make copies. Also know where you are going, how you are getting there, how long it will take you, what time you will leave, what you need to bring with you and find out what will be expected of you and what resources you will have at your disposal. Finally, know the current issues happening around you and also in the field your being interviewed for. Your general and industrial awareness will be assessed.
3. Personal Research: Find out as much as you can about the organisation (vision, strategies, clients, competitors, offices, ownership, etc) the industry and the role you are applying for. You will need this good background information to show your interest & seriousness and also to grounding your answers.
4. Do Your Rehearsals: You may think this is not necessary but when you practise every part of the interview you can, from the introductions to the close of the interview with you friends and family to help or in front of a mirror, you will get accustomed to rapid questions and also discover oversights. This is also a good time to formulate the questions you would like to ask your interviewer.
5. Know Yourself: You can only sell what you are sure of! If you don't know your potentials, you can't convince your interviewer about why it has to be you. So know what's great about you, why you want to work for the organisation in question and why they should hire you. If you know the answers to these questions, then the organisation doesn't have to guess, and you can help them be clearer as to why they should hire you!
6. Be Prompt: Be sure to arrive a few minutes early, not too early so you don't get tired while waiting or too late so you don't appear unserious & sluggish. About ten minutes is good. Just long enough for you to relax and not feel rushed. Present yourself to the front desk as soon as you arrive. Be polite and amiable when giving your name and the purpose of you visit. This is where you begin showing your best assets. Remember to smile!
7. Project Your Best You: First impressions count - a lot! Make sure you are presenting the best you: good quality, appropriate clothes, groomed appearance, excellent communications skills and good diction (don't overdo that, just be yourself). Rest and eat well. Be full of life!
8. Sell Yourself: During an interview, you are given the time to sell yourself, take advantage of that. Point out your achievements, recommendations, rewards, projects, assignments, etc. Also, never assume an interviewer has read your CV, reiterate what you've already written in your CV to ensure they know what you are referring to.
9. Know Your Strengths, Be Aware Of Your Weaknesses: What are your strengths and weaknesses? This is a popular question which assesses your ability to critically adjudge yourself; it shows personal growth & development. Make sure you know what these are, that you can articulate them, and that you know how to see your weaknesses as potential strengths. Don't ever say you have no weakness!
10. Be Confident: Answer your questions with an air of assurance. Don't ramble or add irrelevant information. If for any reason you can't answer a question, boldly and politely explain that you can't. Trying to play smart will only give a wrong impression about you and probably annoy your interviewer.
11. Ask Questions: Lack of questions can often be interpreted as laziness or lack of interest in the role in question - and you don't want that. A good way to prepare questions is to have an idea of what you really want from your work, your working environment, seek to find out what they want from the role, etc. Please ask intelligent questions!
12. Money Talk: In an interview, you are a product and your initial focus should be on establishing your suitability for the position and not the position's suitability for you. Do not give the impression that remuneration is your only motivating factor, even when brought up, insist on rounding up the interview before bargaining. However, there are other career motivators, don't build your career on money only!
13. Interview your Interviewer: Sounds funny right? but you need to. Remember that it's as much about you interviewing them as your potential employers as it is about them interviewing you as a potential employee. You spend most of your time at work, make sure it's spent wisely in a place where you want to be and with people you can afford to be with!
14. Enjoy The Process: Yes! Life is easy and fun and so also can an interview be if you let it.
A lot of us could do with not taking things so seriously so loosen up and have fun. You are likely to come across as confident and as somebody that would be fun to work with. Don't be so rigid!
15. Don't Feel Rejected: It is normal for you to feel like you performed poorly or you failed if you don't hear from the organization or if you receive a negative feedback. However, It is important you know that the essence of an interview is to determine how you meet the organization's specific requirement contrary to the view that it is a pass or fail situation. With that in mind, if you are not contacted after the interview, don't feel rejected because its a question of suitability. You can, however contact the organization to find out exactly why you were not selected.
Hope I have been able to communicate some facts about interviews that will position you to scale through successfully and enjoy it, so for your next interview, ensure you have fun!
