Trouble in paradise for Themba Broly as it is slowly becoming apparent that scores of his fans are completely over his prime. Mabaso’s downfall may also be attributed to his recent doings, following Mpho WaBadimo taking to social media to air some of Mabaso’s dirty laundry, surrounding their break-up.

While scores of their fans are still coming to terms with the news of their break-ups, Mabaso is slowly losing scores of them in the process. Ahead of his upcoming meet and greet event taking place in April, people have made it crystal clear that they won’t be in attendance.

The controversial Nota Baloyi is once again topping the trend list after lashing out at Mzansi’s female celebrities. Taking to social media, shortly after having his Twitter account back, Baloyi has lambasted black female celebrities as broke women who only date men with money.

Scores of tweeps have since called out Nota Baloyi for his unsavory tweet that he made about Mzansi female celebrities. In essence, Baloyi called female celebrities gold diggers as he mentioned how they are all broke women and without rich fathers but only rely on rich men.

In the same tweet, Baloyi had tweeps confused as he first lashed out at Winnie Mashaba, who can not afford a Ben 10. Tweeps are wondering if he meant the House of Zwide actress Winnie Ntshaba or the gospel singer, Winnie Mashaba. Either way, Baloyi’s jab definitely rubbed a number of people the wrong way.

“Winnie Mashaba can’t afford a Ben10 in real life. Your female celebrity is all broke women. Every single one of them is a broken woman. What’s worse is that they don’t even have rich fathers, they date men with money thinking they’re dating someone’s rich father. Get a degree ho!” said Nota Baloyi

It appeared a number of tweeps share the similar sentiments with Baloyi when it comes to Mzansi’s female celebrities. With their chests, tweeps agreed with Baloyi’s statement while proceeded to claim that women with degrees does not go around rubbing their accolades and lifestyles in other people’s faces.

“@lavidaNOTA facts woman in south Africa who have degrees aren’t flashy they’re living in their own apartments , drive their own cars and are submissive” wrote Amomi

In the same token, scores of outraged tweeps did not beat around the bush to call Nota Baloyi into order.

“Hayi Nota bro it’s never a good scene to see a Black man attacking a Black woman especially publicly & unprovoked. If you felt Winnie was doing something ill it would have been African to approach her privately & advise her right not this. Please withdraw the stones comrade” wrote Inigo ZA

Autumn Beauty: Swop out your moisturiser for the colder months

The morning air has a subtle chill, and soon it will be time to swap out some skincare staples like moisturisers in preparation for autumn. With the temperatures getting cooler as winter approaches, our daily skincare routines must also change.

Often the skincare routine followed during the warmer months fails to lock in that much-needed water and moisture the skin needs during the colder months.

Dr. Alek Nikolic, a renowned specialist in aesthetic medicine and owner of SkinMiles, shares a quick guide on how to care for your skin during autumn and what ingredients to incorporate into your skin regime. During autumn and winter, the skin tends to become moderately dehydrated. Due to certain climate changes that can affect the skin, it may feel dryer than usual.

Chilly air is dryer and contains less humidity and this naturally removes moisture from the skin.
Indoor heating can cause havoc when it comes to your skin. Most heaters and even air conditioners produce dry heat which further sucks moisture from the skin.

We all love long hot showers and baths during the cooler months, but they tend to strip the skin of its natural lipids which increases skin permeability and water loss. The cooler months are also associated with windy or stormy weather which further increases water loss from the skin. When looking at products to treat dry or dehydrated skin, it is important to look at ingredients that replenish, rehydrate and repair the skin barrier.

Dr. Nikolic’s main go-to ingredients to look out for are emollients, humectants, and antioxidants. Emollients can prevent skin water loss and provide a luxurious softening effect to the skin. Emollients can have a thick or a thin consistency, so it’s important not to judge how well a moisturiser will work simply on its consistency,” adds Dr. Nikolic.

Examples of emollients include non-fragrant plant oils, shea butter, cocoa butter, fatty acids, borage oil, linoleic acid, oleic acid, coconut oil, evening primrose oil, sunflower oil, and mango butter.

On the other hand, skin-replacing ingredients help to repair and replace much-needed moisturisation of the skin. Furthermore, they can increase the stratum corneum’s water-holding capacity or the skin’s most outer layer.

Skin-replacing ingredients include hyaluronic acid, ceramides, sodium PCA, glycerine, glycerol, silicones, petrolatum, salicylic acid, and alpha hydroxy acids.

Eight tips for healthy and glowing skin from hydration to sunscreen

Discover eight crucial skincare tips to reveal the greatest version of your skin! Learn how to nourish and shield your skin from damaging UV rays to obtain a vibrant, beautiful complexion, from drinking water to exfoliating. By eating a healthy, balanced diet and abstaining from alcohol and tobacco, you can bid farewell to dullness.

Simple recommendations like drinking plenty of water, eating a balanced diet, wearing sunscreen, getting enough sleep, keeping your skin clean, moisturizing, exfoliating, and abstaining from alcohol and smoking can help you achieve healthy, glowing skin. Along with safeguarding your skin from environmental elements like the sun, consistency, and patience are essential. Taking care of your skin shows that your body and mind are healthy.

Our skin is one of the most important organs in our body, as it protects us from external factors such as pollution, weather changes, and harmful bacteria. Therefore, it is essential to take care of it on a regular basis to keep it healthy and glowing. Here are some tips for achieving beautiful and healthy skin

REMAIN HYDRATED
Water consumption is essential for maintaining healthy skin. Toxins in the body, which can lead to acne and other skin issues, are flushed out as a result. Additionally, water maintains the skin’s moisture and suppleness, giving it a youthful appearance. Aim for eight glasses of water or more each day.

EAT A HEALTHY DIET
Eating a healthy diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats is essential for maintaining healthy skin. Foods that are high in antioxidants, such as blueberries, spinach, and kale, can help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Avoid processed foods, as they can cause inflammation and breakouts.
Sunscreen is necessary to shield the skin from damaging UV radiation. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, even when it’s cloudy outdoors, with an SPF of at least 30. Apply new sunscreen every two hours, particularly if you are swimming or perspiring.

GET ENOUGH SLEEP
Getting enough sleep is crucial for overall health, but it also affects the appearance of our skin. Lack of sleep can cause dark circles under the eyes and make the skin look dull and tired. Aim for seven to nine hours of sleep each night.

5 ways to maintain Smooth hands this autumn/winter season

No matter how young you may appear, your hands age first and are not always smooth. Additionally, since we are in the autumn/winter season, hands are frequently dry. Since they are the most exposed portion of the body, hands age more quickly, it is important to ensure they are always smooth.

The health of our skin can also be negatively impacted by excessive hand washing and the use of strong hand sanitisers. Regular hand washing is crucial to preventing the transmission of germs. But using strong soap can cause dryness, so you should choose organic hand-washing lotions instead. Avoid using hot water while washing your hands; lukewarm water will do just fine.

Don’t forget to moisturise and dry your hands with a clean towel.

PROTECT YOUR HANDS
Always use gloves when performing household tasks like dishwashing, gardening, or hand-washing laundry to prevent rashes on your hands.
Your skin may appear rough and drab due to dead skin cells. Exfoliating often can assist to get rid of these dead skin cells and reveal smooth, more radiant skin. Maintain the appearance of your hands by using a light exfoliating scrub once or twice a week.

MASQUE YOUR HANDS
Applying masque on your hands can do wonders to keep them in a tip-top smooth condition where they always look healthy and glowing. Next time you apply a face mask, remember your hands, too, and give them all the love and attention they deserve.

REGULAR HAND MOISTURISING
After washing your hands or whenever your hands feel dry, use a natural cream or lotion. Attempt to find moisturisers with natural components like shea butter, jojoba oil, or coconut oil.

These components can aid in moisturising and protecting your skin from dryness and cracking by making them smooth. Incorporating your cuticles and nails into the aforementioned advice is a must.

Over the years, beauty trends have come and gone. While others stayed for a long time, there’s always a new craze that gets people going. It looks like eyebrow extensions are the new in thing and those who have been struggling with thin brows could evidently not be happier.

A video of a woman getting her eyebrow extensions has gone viral as ladies all over the world discuss how the procedure is actually something that they would consider. We have hair extensions, eye lash extensions and now even eyebrow extensions. A clip has gone viral showing how a woman gets her eyebrows “extended” using strands of real human hair.

In the clip, a professional can be seen sticking the hair onto the woman’s eyebrows. While it looks quite scary because the hairs are still long and uncut, it soon starts to look great as the professional snips the hairs and blends them in with the woman’s natural brows.

She then uses a small brush to make sure the hairs are well blended and natural looking.
The post has gone viral as social media users discuss just how innovative the world of fashion and beauty has become.

Many of them remarked that they would definitely consider getting their eyebrow extensions. Here are some of their comments:

“The results look good. I would rather do this than micro blading,” said one person while another wrote: Oh I need this. I’m tired of filling in my brow.

Try these 8 food combinations for unbelievable health benefits

When Hippocrates said, “Let food be thy medicine, thy medicine shall be thy food,” we guess he knew the power of food and how it regulates the human body.

While we all try to eat healthy food, there are times when we end up making the wrong choices and combinations that are not good for the body. Have a look at these 8 food combinations that are way healthier than you can ever imagine.

1. Black beans and red bell peppers
How about mixing fresh red bell pepper along with boiled black beans? Well, this might be an expensive affair for you, but is totally worth the body. The combo together stimulates the immune system.

2. Eggs and mango
Forget applying eggs on your hair and skin. All you need to do is to mix the boiled eggs along with some mango chunks and eat on a daily basis. The natural amino acids in egg along with vitamin C of mango work together to boost collagen production and make your skin radiate.

3. Oatmeal and strawberries
The two main phytochemicals found in oats called avenanthramides and phenolic acids when consumed with strawberries, rich in vitamin C, help reduce the harmful effects of bad cholesterol and they together prevent plaque formation in the body that further reduces the chances of heart attacks.

4. Green tea and lemon
If you wish to make the best of antioxidants found in green tea, add a few drops of lemon juice. It has been proven that adding lemon juice increases the catechins (antioxidant) level to 80 percent.

5. Garlic and onion
They both contain a number of organosulfur compounds that keep the arteries free of plaque. The combination is also known for detoxifying carcinogens in the body.

6. Extra-virgin olive oil and tomatoes
According to nutritionists, the four carotenoids found in tomatoes are best absorbed with extra-virgin olive oil and they together help fight cancer and heart disease.

7. Cinnamon and grain toast
If you have been avoiding cinnamon all these years, this will make you start adding it to your breakfast for good reasons. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition experts, adding it to your grain toast helps regulate the blood sugar levels.

8. Broccoli and tomatoes
They both are known for cancer-fighting properties and it has been proven that consuming them together is more effective at slowing the growth of cancerous cells in the body.

Brentford 2 – 1 Nottingham Forest

Brentford 2 – 1 Nottingham Forest. Nottingham Forest were stunned as a late Brentford fightback denied them precious points in their fight for Premier League survival.

Brazilian midfielder Danilo marked his 22nd birthday by putting Forest ahead just before half-time, reacting quickest to steer home Morgan Gibbs-White’s shot which deflected into his path.

Brentford had plenty of the ball but created few clear chances until Ivan Toney’s 82nd-minute free-kick went in off Forest keeper Keylor Navas.

With Forest hanging on and only 10 men on the pitch after Danilo went off injured, substitute Josh Dasilva scored the 94th-minute winner which was only confirmed after a long VAR check.

After beating Brighton at home on Wednesday, Forest looked well on course for a second win in four days and earn a rare away victory.

But, with all their nearest rivals yet to play this weekend, they remain in 17th place and just a point ahead of third-bottom Leicester.

“It is a sense of massive disappointment – one that got away,” said Forest manager Steve Cooper.

“It was always going to be a tiring week with three games and there were a lot of tired legs on the pitch. It was a game of fine margins.

“We felt in a comfortable position – Brentford weren’t creating a lot of chances. The two goals we’ve given away are really disappointing and it has cost us the game.

“No problem of the effort of the players but you’ve got to do everything right until the end of the game.”

With none of the other sides in the tightly packed bottom five playing on Saturday, Forest had an excellent opportunity to put pressure on their rivals.

For a long period after Danilo’s opening goal, and with Brentford providing little threat, it looked as though Cooper’s team were going to move four points clear of the bottom three.

Forest’s survival hopes were given a significant boost when they fought back to beat a Brighton side chasing European qualification at a raucous City Ground on Wednesday.

Lifting them out of the relegation zone, the win took Forest to 30 points – with 24 of those earned in front of their own fans.

The challenge has been transferring their ability to pick up points at home into doing the same on the road.

But, after defending well for most of the match, they were denied even a point at a time when each one is so precious.

Forest had to wait 23 years for their return to the Premier League and are hoping to avoid an immediate exit.

Cooper’s task after this dispiriting defeat is to rally his players again, knowing their next game at home against Southampton on 8 May is likely to have a huge impact on their survival hopes.

Brentford have continued to defy the odds and expectations in their second season in the Premier League, having already surpassed their points tally in an impressive debut campaign.

Anything less than a win against Forest would have all but ended the Bees’ push for Europe.

While it still appears they have too much ground to make up, with the sides above them having played fewer games, Brentford maintained the pressure on the likes of Brighton, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Tottenham.

“We didn’t play our best. Sometimes you have to find a way to win and we did it ugly today,” said Bees skipper Toney.

“I think Forest are a great side, dug in well and if they stick at it they give themselves a chance of staying in the league.

“It’s still possible [for European football] but we have to focus on ourselves and give ourselves a chance.”

Brighton 6 – 0 Wolves

Brighton 6 – 0 Wolves. Brighton reignited their push for a place in Europe next season by recording their biggest-ever top-flight victory at the expense of woeful Wolves.

The Seagulls remain eighth in the Premier League but are now just a point behind Liverpool in seventh and two behind fifth-placed Tottenham, who have played two games more than Roberto de Zerbi’s side.

Deniz Undav broke the deadlock with his first Premier League goal, before Pascal Gross made it 2-0 with an easy finish following Julio Enciso’s driving run and pass.

Gross doubled his personal tally in sensational fashion midway through the first half, controlling Enciso’s square ball before sending a swerving strike past Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa into the corner.

Danny Welbeck’s close-range header from Pervis Estupinan’s cross made it 4-0 before half-time, and the former Manchester United and Arsenal forward grabbed his second early in the second half after intercepting Nathan Collins’ misplaced pass.

Undav completed the scoring with another fabulous effort, dispossessing Matheus Nunes on the edge of the area and lifting a perfectly-weighted chip over Sa.

Wolves remain eight points clear of the relegation zone, but manager Julen Lopetegui will be alarmed at the manner of his team’s collapse on the south coast.

The emphatic victory ensures a positive end to a difficult week for Brighton, who lost on penalties to Manchester United in their FA Cup semi-final on Sunday before being beaten by struggling Nottingham Forest in the Premier League in midweek.

Manager De Zerbi responded to his team’s jaded performance at the City Ground by making five changes, leaving key players Kaoru Mitoma, Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo on the bench and handing rare starts to Undav and Billy Gilmour.

To say the Italian’s selection paid off is an understatement.

Brighton were able to carve Wolves open at will, forcing the visitors into errors and fashioning several opportunities to give themselves an even healthier cushion before the interval.

Welbeck was denied by Sa one on one before a dreadful pass by the Portuguese goalkeeper was slammed over the bar by the Seagulls striker.

Sa atoned for that error by keeping out Enciso’s curling strike from the corner of the area, while Solly March blazed narrowly over the crossbar as Brighton maintained their relentless assault on the Wolves goal.

Estupinan and Undav both had efforts blocked by Wolves defenders in the second half, while Gilmour was denied a first goal of the season when he struck the foot of the post.

With games in hand on fellow European hopefuls Liverpool, Aston Villa and Spurs, Brighton are well-placed to secure continental football for the first time in the club’s near-122-year history.

When Brighton won 3-2 at Molineux in November – hours after it was announced Lopetegui would replace the sacked Bruno Lage – Wolves were joint-bottom of the Premier League with 10 points from 14 games.

While the improvement since then has been stark, this was by far Wolves’ worst performance during the Spaniard’s stewardship.

Operating in a 4-3-3 system, the visitors were passive, disjointed and desperately poor in possession – and Brighton took full advantage in a startlingly one-sided first half.

Lopetegui brought on Hwang Hee-chan, Toti and Collins at half-time in an effort to stem the flow of goals, but there was little in the way of a response.

Both Brighton’s second-half efforts were appalling from the visitors’ perspective, with Collins and Nunes guilty of surrendering possession on the edge of their own box.

It would take an almighty collapse – and a vast improvement from several teams below – for Wolves to get dragged back into the relegation quagmire, but this was a defeat that will leave a sour taste for some time to come.
