CFCfan: I'm good, bro. I took the LSAT on Saturday

Hope you aced it! Heard its mostly on problem-solving techniques. I'm looking at Law School in the future (maybe 5 years from now ).

Amefrica: Yvete where are you I don miss una ooo

The 'Olarwarlay Color Virus' has struck! hee..hee
... Two special birthdays coming soon. Thought someone's birthday was yesterday... looked again...one month away! ...

@ Vliz: Burgundy was my preferred color of choice, but as Rocktation stated, it does appear kinda gloomy. I'm leaning towards pastels for Aso-ebi like (1) Lavender/Lilac with Mint Green (2) Aqua blue and pink (3) Orange and blue. ... I'll stay with champagne and orange for myself.

Posted some burgundy samples on page 1 and gave up on it because clearly, burgundy needs a popping color to compliment it. Thought I'd be excited about wedding planning, NO! ... stressful!

Best wishes future brides!

demelza: Why the emphasis on calling the girl poor? Yes we know she wont be that well off, but is that the only adjective to use in qualifying her?

Thank You! Thought I am the only one put off by the 'poverty stricken African girl" in the article. Hope she got a good sum too ...

travelcare: you are having problems getting one? Please state it here.

I don't mind getting a flight ticket to Nigeria under $1,000. Thanks ....

Amefrica: YEE!! That sounds like a curse oo.. I gotta try again, yea, for sure. I'm trynna refiring and gettin' it this time.

Naaaa .... its not a curse. ...because of 'doomed'? Lolz .... I know you know what it really means. Howz your Sunday?

Wet nails keep me out of the kitchen at night so I don't dig into a bag of potato chips. Haha! #DietLife

We had a cold front last night. Didn't go to Church because its cold outside. God understands
What can I do without you, dear Starbucks? ... Mocha Frappuccino tastes great!

Nice Thread! I change my nail polish (myself) like every other night I own a bucket full of colors!

Amefrica: Glad to be back..

The AmeFrican Wonder!

ogugua88: For anyone who wants thicker hair, I beg of you to throw away your flat iron, curling iron, blow dryer, etc lol. I can count on one hand how many times I've used direct heat on my hair this year. It was thick before but it's now reaching uncontrollability. Awesomeness.

I try to stay away from heat, but have seen youtube gurus recommend the 'Brazilian Blow-out'. Heard its great for long stretches because they use keratin and protein treatments with heat. ... Anyone tried it yet?

kpolli: No, apple has decided to increase it's prices so people think there is something special for it to be that expensive

Your days on BlackBerry are numbered! May I also add that Olarwarlay de-camped from BB ... lolz!

Heee..heee Had a good laugh. Auto-hate, really? It may be envy.
Forgiveness rules!

kpolli: You just wanna be like mamacita sha...

Cos' of the iPhone?? Lolz, still undecided. Apple has managed to create an air of exclusivity around its products ... others can't measure up.

uzoo: If you are looking for a Hydrating Conditioner i am still standing by the Herbal Essence Hello hydration , The one beside the Joico in the picture is finished so i got the bigger Size, that conditioner makes my hair silky soft.

Thanks. I got Hello Hydration today. I won't be using the CON anymore as it tangles my hair even more. I'll try the Joico K-Pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor when i'm done with Aphogee. Neutrogena's triple leave-in works great.
#OnMyWayToBackLengthHair These are my current conditioners. Whew!

rofemiguwa: I start using organics relaxer.that's when the issue started.while they are stil retouching my scalp is already on fire by the tym the are done

Organics or Organic Root Stimulator? I highly recommend ORS, Profectiv or Venus relaxer for very coarse hair like mine. Forget at-home relaxer kits, use cup relaxers. How soon do you retouch after a wash? ... clean scalps burn more....I think!

CFCfan: No one at all. The IRS will still be open for business, as they are deemed as essential.

Aiight Attorney ... Why are Congressmen still drawing paychecks while all other public servants don't get paid? That's not nice. Since yesterday, IRS shut down returns, tax questions or customer service with tax collection automatically processed.

... So the government is shut down and Govt workers are on vacay, yet we pay taxes on everything. IRS won't even process my tax returns since Monday! ... Would have been a great weekend to get me a new i phone. #TaxFree

Who is getting fooled, America?

^^ @ Dismissed!
I don't like seeing ladies going out, all dressed up with bendy rollers / flex rods on their hair. It's not a hair accessory.

@ Uzoo: I came across Joico products today. Do you use Joico's K-Pak Conditioner?
I co-washed with Cream of Nature's Intensive Conditioning Treatment with Argan Oil and it didn't detangle as I would have liked. Need a good moisturizing or hydrating conditioner.

Olarwarlay, of all people, gets into an argument on NL. That's a first.

Yea, I worked today ... still at the parking garage.

olarwarlay: I see so many corrupt minds on this thread.... Amefrica, you are number 1 on the list
Nice one from my Sister, you know you got my 1,000,000 likes all the time.

LMAO .. You made your front page debut on the bo-oob thread.
... Right now, I feel like half of the population on NL are quite ignorant or maybe they fake it. When people die in Nigeria, they blame their neighbors, step-mothers, folks in the villa ...etc. Some comments make me wanna stay out of NL. I'm dead serious!

ecolime: Does early detection of a cancerous lump mean the woman won't undergo treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy? Someone should please explain to me.

The goal of self-exams is to detect breast cancer early, which can result in a greater chance of cure if a woman discovers a cancerous lump. As stated above, not all lumps are cancerous. Like most women, I freaked out the first time I did a self-check (won't go into details). It keeps us in the loop with any changes in our bodies. People do periodic check-up with the doctor not because they hope to hear that they may have a medical condition, but you know ... better safe than sorry.

Mammograms and ultrasounds are expensive.
Mammogram in Nigeria- N7,000 per session.
In the US, $220 per session. Doing-it-yourself costs nothing.

Amefrica: my position, 1st time in NL history!! Yay! I'm firsta comment.. Daalu, Dankies. Yvete

Lolz ... see you when you return!

Amefrica: Can I be of help for any lady who wanna try those techniques

I'm pretty sure you have no boo.ooobs. Is your interview still soon? Best wishes and keep us in the loop ... you deserve a party!

M.I's Jehovah with Eben & Lindsey. Nice prelude.

Better safe than sorry. It only takes 15 minutes.

Adult women of all ages are encouraged to perform breast self-exams at least once a month; at the end of your monthly menstrual cycle when your breasts are not as tender. Breast cancer can occur at any age, though it is most common in women older than 50. Many breast problems are first discovered by women themselves, often by accident. Breast lumps can be noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant).

J.H Medical center states, “Forty percent of diagnosed breast cancers are detected by women who feel a lump, so establishing a regular breast self-exam is very important.” While mammograms can help you to detect cancer before you can feel a lump, breast self-exams help you to be familiar with how your breasts look and feel so you can alert your healthcare professional if there are any changes.

How should a breast self-exam be performed?

1) In the Shower
Using the pads of your fingers, move around your entire breast in a circular pattern moving from the outside to the center, checking the entire breast and armpit area. Check both breasts each month feeling for any lump, thickening, or hardened knot. Notice any changes and get lumps evaluated by your healthcare provider.

2) In Front of a Mirror
Visually inspect your breasts with your arms at your sides. Next, raise your arms high overhead.

Look for any changes in the contour, any swelling, or dimpling of the skin, or changes in the nipples. Next, rest your palms on your hips and press firmly to flex your chest muscles. Left and right breasts will not exactly match—few women's breasts do, so look for any dimpling, puckering, or changes, particularly on one side.

3) Lying Down
When lying down, the breast tissue spreads out evenly along the chest wall. Place a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm behind your head. Using your left hand, move the pads of your fingers around your right breast gently in small circular motions covering the entire breast area and armpit.

Use light, medium, and firm pressure. Squeeze the nipple; check for discharge and lumps. Repeat these steps for your left breast.

If you find a lump, schedule an appointment with your doctor, but don't panic — 8 out of 10 lumps are not cancerous. Wear P!NK, SHOP P!NK ... #Pinktober

Not surprised ... Last week, there was a thread in the romance section where a lady sought advice on how to teach her fiance's other girlfriend "a lesson". When people told her to forget the girl and confront the guy, she got mad, bringing her fight all the way to the travel section
Hope its not the same person right here lolz ...

Beg to differ, the most stylish little girl should be Monica Rose's daughter. Monica is the stylist for Kourtney kadarshian. The lil girl is cuteness .... all the way!
