The New Teeth Whitening Black Magic

by on ·Beauty, Health, Lifestyle
Activated Charcoal | blog.nkataa.com

Activated charcoal (AC) is all the rave right now and deservedly so too. I only got to know about it last year and I really haven’t lived without it ever since. I call it my ‘Dark Knight’ because it isn’t just for barbecues! It’s also a major player in the health and beauty industries, ‘multi-purposely’ slaying with its teeth whitening properties, detoxifying, and pore clearing facial cleansers and masks, and so much more. AC is also available in capsule form and is excellent to treat diarrhoea, bloating and even some forms of poisoning.   Related: Shop Shea Origin Charcoal Cleansing Bar,…

Me, Marriage and Makeup

by on ·Beauty, Inspiration, Lifestyle

I bet a lot of you are wondering where this post is going, all I can say is – be patient and read through. As most guys, I haven’t been really big on makeup, like I feel it isn’t a business of mine in anyway, well at least till my girlfriend got me involved. I remember the very first time my girlfriend begged me to buy her a few make up products while I was in America, my first question was ‘Why? Can’t you just walk over to one shop across the street and buy’; I won’t tell you what…

YOUR SKIN + OLIVE OIL = ?

by on ·Beauty, DIYs, Lifestyle, Tips

Olive oil is really no stranger in today’s cosmetics industry, considering it’s a staple ingredient in many skin and hair care products on the market- ranging from body moisturisers to serums, eye creams, shampoos, lip balms, and many more. It’s easily accessible, relatively affordable, and is amazing when used on its own too as it is when added to products. It’s just one of those things that I never run out of, it’s always there, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the bedroom, just in case.  It is quite rich in naturally occurring vitamins like vitamins A, E and K, as well…

Much Ado About Water

by on ·Beauty, Drinks, Health, Lifestyle, Recipes, Tips

The feel of water on a parched tongue on a scorching afternoon -PRICELESS Being on the go almost 24/7 in this present age has led to a grab and go lifestyle. Think about it…we grab food, clothes, music, fast cars (okay…a bit carried away here) but somehow in the mix, it seems we have forgotten to grab water.  The unending argument of water being present in every meal is hardly a sound one. It’s true that water is present in perhaps all meals but the question here is, “How much is really enough?” The benefits of water seem to be…

Product Review – Body Shop African Ximenia & Salt Scrub

by on ·Beauty, Product Reviews

I was so excited about the newly launched body shop products on the site that i couldn’t wait to do a review on one of body shop’s top 10 products(Well,so they said). All the “product-holics” who have a very strong thing for self-pampering beauty products and scents will love this one.This gentle exfoliating product is a luxuriously (hence,the price) pampering  creamy salt scrub that is made up of skin softening butters sourced from different parts of Africa. E.g cocoa butter from Ghana. It basically helps in the gentle exfoliation and revitalization of the skin,leaving it feeling extremely moisturized,smooth and glowing.…
