Valentine's day has historically become and subjected to be lovers' day. Every year on February 14, millions of people across the globe celebrate Valentine’s Day... People believe this day to be the most romantic time to make a declaration of love and feel love running through their veins.
Have you ever thought that Valentine's day is being exaggerated?
This is not hatred towards the day, but reasons why it should stop being exaggerated.
BalFashion has brought the reasons why Valentine's day should not be overrated.

1. It can make you feel lonely
Either ways, whether you are in a relationship or you are not, Valentine's day can make you feel lonely. This is because, we tend to expect more from our prospective lovers and when we do not get enough, we feel disappointed and withdrawn.

Meanwhile, Valentine's day makes people who aren't in relationships feel less loved.

2. Pressure to celebrate it

There is always this push about Valentine's day to be celebrated by all and sundry. On the day, people are pressurized to showcase their lovers and you might thereby get stigmatized if you do not do so. Some go ahead to break their bank, just to make their lover overwhelmed.

3. Exploitation

Valentine's day all over the world has been widely commercialized as companies produce gross of greeting cards, toys and gifts, thereby giving people more reasons for an elaborate celebration of Valentine.

There is no longer option than to celebrate this so called 'lovers' day' so as to feel among. Many companies and organizations have commercialized this event and it has become an act of exploitation.

4. Feeling guilty

Not being financially stable to celebrate Valentine's day can cause you so much guilts. There will always be a flash of light on you to explain yourself, and this will make you so much uncomfortable.

5. Damage to relationships

Some people can always have elaborate celebrations of Valentine's day, thereby making relationships with less interest think that they have lost the spark of love and romance.

This might cause some relationships to break apart.

6. Everyday is a love day

It is not enough to subject a day to lovers' day, as love should be celebrated everyday of our lives. You should stretch out to your loved ones everyday expressing how much they mean to you.

Conclusively, this can be controversial but if you look through this article, you will feel the facts that Valentine's day is overrated. It can be celebrated on a lighter mode but doesn't really worth the hype. This is because everyday of your life should be of celebration of love, and not just on February 14.

Low self-esteem could affects your love life in so many ways as there are many adverse sides to mention. When battling with low self esteem, you might not even notice you are doing some bad things thinking you have normal relationship behaviors.
The following are the ways in which low self-esteem affects your love life.

Boring intimacy with partner
Engaging with your partner will be found very difficult if you are the type with low self-esteem. People with low sense of self worth find it difficult to win the hearts of their partners and finding complex to define that they need to be loved. Not believing in yourself will create difficulty in satisfying your partner's needs.

Jealousy
Jealousy can be so detrimental to your relationship because you might find it so difficult to manage your love affairs. Jealousy does nothing but kills your relationship and making it hard for you to settle down.

Being worried
Always have the serenity to accept the things you cannot change. Being worried about things you have no control over could be very killing. This might lead to unnecessary fear which can spill over to the point of not being able to control it. The fear of what is about to happen or what will happen in the future can dominate a larger aspect of your relationship if care is not taken and this can even get worse, if you are the type with self esteem related issues.

Depending on partner for self worth
The lack of self esteem causes you to depend on your partner for happiness. Individual happiness is very crucial in a relationship and should be gotten independently. A situation whereby a partner depends solely on the other for happiness implies low self confidence which is caused by low self esteem. This kind of situation makes the partner to be dominant and exploitative of the other turning out to be under control.

Giving much attention to class
Devoting much attention to class can affect your relationship in so many ways. In relationships, there is a high tendency that you will have to prove certain things to your partner, and that could be hindered if you pay too much attention to class. Never feel inferior to the person you are dating, thinking that the person you are dating is way too superior than you are. Feeling this way can make it hard for you to settle down with anyone.

Apologizing too often
This seems like apologizing for existing and it is more or less like apologizing for everything you do and even when you don't hurt someone. You are only supposed to apologize when you hurt someone and not everytime you say something not so good or for no reason at all. If you apologize too often to the extent that people tell you to stop apologizing, then it reflects you have low self esteem and low self-worth.

Wanting to please everyone
People with low self esteem try to please everyone at all times, thereby neglecting their own feelings. They feel so uncomfortable when in conflict with another person, therefore working hard to please everyone even if they cause discomfort to themselves in the process.

There are some considerable facts surrounding women with average physical beauty (I mean the less attractive ladies that are not extremely beautiful)...
Some men would always say 'I can not marry an extremely gorgeous lady', this is not because they do not want to marry them, but because they believe they exhibit some characters they won't love.
The following are the reasons why some men believe women with average physical beauty are better.
The list goes on.....

1. They do not have low self esteem because they don't give a damn about what people think of them. They are not majorly after how they look, therefore, you always have their full concentration.

2. They are not costly or exhibit high cost of maintenance. This is because there is no competition to outshine others.

3. They possess good character and great qualities.

Boredom is the situation of being pissed off from one's daily activities. I do not really believe boredom is caused by scarcity of things. I don’t think that it's even caused by scarcity of belongings you want. Rather it is discovered that boredom is typically misinterpreted to disguise a special problem. This is the more reason why most measures to address boredom don’t work, because they don’t solve the real problem.
Here are some tricks found to assist expose the important architect behind a sense of boredom and obtain back to your normal self:

Socialize. Go out and meet some friends, or make some new friends. Boredom may often be disguised as scarcity of social energy. Although, you won't be able to meet new people in your area if your friends aren't busy, attend a web forum that shares one among your interests or devour a phone.

Distractions are often a region, sucking you into a protracted state of disinterest. Switch off the television or computer and begin traveling until you discover something better to occupy you.


Fill schedule holes. An excessive amount of time is usually worse than no time in the disinterest. It is often difficult to regulate to the boredom once you suddenly have a schedule vacuum.

You know that creating a skin care routine tailored to your skin type—whether you've got skin that's oily, dry, or anywhere in between is super-important for keeping your skin healthy. But did you recognize you ought to also take your skin tone into consideration when producing a beauty regimen? Yep, it’s true! Those with darker skin tones may have specific skin care needs.
If you've got darker skin, keep these beauty tips in mind to assist keep your complexion looking its best.

TIP #1: CLEANSE GENTLY
Darker skin can look ashy when it’s not well moisturized. this suggests you’ll want to succeed in for a light , gentle facial cleanser that’s formulated specifically for dry skin, like a no-rinse micellar water because of the facility of small micelles, or oil molecules. Micellar water easily and gently clears away surface-level impurities and makeup from the skin—without drying it out. If your complexion is dry, reach for the Cleansing Water Complete Cleanser for Normal to Dry Skin. To use, all you've got to try is to saturate a cotton pad with the micellar water and wipe it across your face (yes, we weren’t kidding about not having to rinse!).
See also, lipstick colors for dark skin.

TIP #2: MOISTURIZE OFTEN—AT THIS SPECIFIC TIME
Another measure to require so as to stop ashiness is to moisturize every single day to actually lock in hydration, it is suggested to apply your face and body moisturizer right after you exit of the shower, while your skin remains damp. You ought to also choose a moisturizer that’s designed for your skin type.

TIP #3: DON’T OVERDO IT WITH EXFOLIATING
According to the study, darker skin are often more sensitive to chemical exfoliants, so concentrate to how your skin responds once you exfoliate, with regard to what percentage times every week you ought to exfoliate, there’s no set answer—it depends on your individual skin. Some people can handle it multiple times every week, while others may only be ready to handle exfoliating once every week. Once you exfoliate darker skin, choose a mild physical exfoliant. Endeavor to go with a product which is formulated with cocoa butter to make skin feeling nourished. To use the exfoliating face scrub, massage it over your complexion using gentle circular motions, then rinse. If you’re new exfoliating, start once per week frequently and see how your skin reacts.

TIP #4: LOOK OUT FOR DARK SPOTS
Noticed any dark spots lately? Darker skin tones are more susceptible to experiencing skin discolorations, like dark spots. These spots occur when something triggers the skin to supply more melanin. This might be something as seemingly inconsequential as a pimple, sting, or cut. Although fading these dark spots can take time, it’s not completely hopeless! One thing you'll do is try employing a dark spot corrector, which may help skin look more luminous immediately and help fade the design of dark spots with continued use over time. Apply it within the morning and in the dark after cleansing.

TIP #5: WEAR A BROAD-SPECTRUM SPF DAILY
One of the most important beauty myths we hear is that folks with dark skin tones don’t got to wear sunscreen. Totally untrue! Consistent with the carcinoma Foundation, people of dark color can still get sunburned and develop carcinoma . So, regardless of how light or dark your skin is, SPF may be a must. And yes, we mean every day—the carcinoma Foundation states that you simply can even get burned on cloudy days, so it’s important to wear SPF rain or shine! Persist with the Food & Drug Administration’s recommendation to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF value of 15 or higher. If you’re pressed for time, consider trying a moisturizer formulated with SPF, to chop down on the steps in your skin care routine. You will need to reapply every two hours (more frequently if you go swimming, towel off, or sweat excessively), so plow ahead and toss your source of SPF in your purse in order that you've got it available all day! Check the adverse effects of skin bleaching.

Skin tones vary from one individual to another, whichever you have; there is need for proper and adequate care. Beauty is in you!

I am super interested sir

It has always been different girls with different face shapes and sometimes what happens is that we attempt to imitate the makeup looks of celebrities and end up finding yourself looking not just bad but odd too, mostly because you'll not have the same face shape as your inspiration.

So while doing all of your face makeup, it’s important to cast a look on to the sort of face shape that you simply have. For that purpose, read this article – hijab styles for face shapes.

MAKEUP FOR VARIOUS FACE SHAPES.

Let’s have a deeper insight into the face shapes and proper makeup for face shapes which one must follow:

1. Makeup For Oval Shaped Faces
The most common face shape is that of the “Oval” shape, therefore I'm going to get to the subject right away! Well, Mercy Aigbe has additionally kind of Oval Shaped face as you'll figure out from the picture!

The first objective is to form the face look more elongated, therefore minimize the oval effect of the face. For this, we've to consider our blunt features, if you are doing anything. Most of the people with an oval face don't have a pointed and sharp nose. So after applying foundation, what you'll do is take some bronzer and apply in between your thumb and first finger then apply stretched on to nose from top to bottom ( the edges I mean). During this way, your nose will get the shadow effect on the edges , and therefore the top will remain in foundation looking fairer and heightened. This is often a makeup trick which each makeup artist applies for oval shaped faces.
Next comes Eyebrows, high arched brows can provides a more oval shape. So follow the shape of brow bones and tweeze that way.
While doing makeup for eyes or lips, consider any feature, either eyes or lips keeping the opposite simple.
Use blush to form the face look elongated. Suck cheeks in and use blush on to contours, and not onto apples of your cheeks. It’s a damn good technique that creates your face look sleek and stylish!

If you would like to catch the attention of people and cultivating a striking presence once you walk into an area, you would like to line yourself aside from the gang. You'll easily do that by creating your own sort of style. Creating your own unique style that reflects your individuality are often fun and straightforward.

Undergo what you already own and choose what you wish. Pieces that you simply keep should have a fit that's flattering to your body, also as an overall look that blends together with your shape. Throw out or donate anything that matches poorly or that you're hesitant to wear out of the house. An honest rule of the thumb is that if you haven't worn it for six months (exceptional seasonal items like sweaters for winter or swimsuits for summer), then obviate it and detect the weather that you simply like. On the garments that you simply do keep, evaluate what exactly it is that creates your wish to wear them - like the cut, the sleeves, the embellishments, or the colour . Write down an inventory of those elements and take it shopping with you later.

#2. Look for inspiration.
A method to foster and develop your own style is to seek out what looks good on people. Look around magazines or watch TV for trends that catch your eye. If people often compliment you on looking sort of a certain celebrity, search their name online and see what they wear to go with their coloring and size. Alternatively, visit crowded places like malls or downtown sidewalks. Observe what people are wearing, and note of fashions you wish.

Some subcultures promote unique fashions that reflect a particular lifestyle.
