<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was a beautiful night at the Trebek household. The whole
family was having a delicious dinner prepared by Mark Trebek; Mark was an
excellent chef which was one of the reasons his wife Susan agreed to marry him.
Seated across the table from Mark was his son Lester; he regarded him thoughtfully
before delivering the news that unbeknownst to him would change the trajectory
of his son’s life forever. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Les during the summer break I would love you to join me and
your mum to Africa”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Are you being serious Dad” asked Les because, like any fourteen-year-old
boy, the most important things to him were video games, girls and fun; not some
Africa. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Yes, I believe it would do you a world of good”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“I’m sorry dad but I have a lot of things planned out this summer
plus Jessica finally agreed to go out with me. I’m not blowing that up by
leaving this summer.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Jesse would always be around, I want you to go with us so
you can gain a better understanding of the world, you know gain some
perspective. Life is not always about what you see. Plus, I promise it would be
fun. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Dad can I at least think about it” he sighed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Les sat upstairs in his bedroom angry that his father will
suggest this. He couldn’t leave Jessica now no, she was his lifelong crush and
he wasn’t going to leave her not when he had just got her. He saw a shadow and
looked up, it was his mom. A slight woman with gray eyes and stunning facial
features all framed by rich, lustrous, auburn hair. He was very aware of how
beautiful his mum was he often caught men and boys alike, unfortunately
including his friends stop and stare. She stood by the doorway and asked; “Can
I come in?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Of course, mom”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She sat by the edge of his bed and took his hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“I would really love you to come with us to Africa, it would
mean a lot for your father and especially for me”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“But mom….”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“I promise it would be fun Les, you would see things you’ve
never seen before and might never see again. The people are amazing, and you
could learn a lot about their different cultures”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“But mom…...”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Les look at me, I love you so much and I know this would be
good for you. You need to experience something different plus it would look
good on your college applications” she said with a smile. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This was the one person he would move mountains for, this
was the one person he could never tell no. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Okay mum but I’m not happy about it” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“That’s fine Hun, you will be” and with that she pulled him
close and kissed his cheeks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They arrived at a beautiful land in Africa called Azure and
after spending two days indoors pouting and playing video games Les quickly got
bored and went outside. He was hoping to take a walk when he got stopped in his
tracks. Approaching him was a sight he had never seen before nor had he believed
he would ever see. This creature advancing toward him had gold skin, curvy full
legs and rich black hair that defied gravity. She had on two piece of clothing
one tied around her waist acting as a flimsy cover to hips that swayed while
she walked and stopping midway through her thighs. The other piece of clothing
covered her breasts although it was not doing a good job of it as they looked
like they were about to burst through and be set free. She had a smile
plastered on her face revealing a set of brilliant white teeth otherwise covered
by full pink lips. Blood rushed to his other brain and it told him to tear off
her clothes, he wasn’t going to do that. Something else however struck him as
he kept staring; she had blue eyes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He was staring at her, but she still managed to startle him
when she spoke. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Good afternoon my name is Chichi are you Mr. Marks’ son?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Uhm, hi, I’m Lester, yes”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Is he around? I heard he came, and I want to greet him”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Um yeah I will let him know, whats your name again?”,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Eh?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“What-is-your-name?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Chichi”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He came out with his father. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Chichi!” Mark exclaimed and they hugged “Come on in Mama is
excited to see you”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“I’m so happy you are back I missed you, how is everybody in
America”,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“I’m sure everybody is fine” he chuckled <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Chichi” Susan exclaimed when she saw her and hugged her
affectionately <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Chichi this is my son Lester, Lester this is Chichi my
African baby” she said kissing her cheeks “I’ve missed you so much baby sit we
are about to have lunch”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Thank you, Mama” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“You didn’t tell me you had and African baby mum” Les said
after they were settled <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“I always try to tell you about our trips to Africa but you
always zone out” she replied with a smile; “Your father and I took a special
interest in Chichi during one of our trips after we noticed that her life might
be in danger shortly after she was born. You see she was born with blue eyes
which is extremely rare for black people, her people thought she was cursed and
wanted to banish her. Your father and I went through a lot of trouble
convincing them otherwise. At first look one would conclude she has Waardenburg
syndrome, but she is not affected by any of the other symptoms that follow it
which is really a blessing for her. After convincing them, we also had to put
measures in place to make sure she wasn’t hurt, and we’ve been coming back
every year since then to check on her”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“wow”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Chichi here is very special and highly intelligent, she has
always been our best student and her mastery of the English language is far
beyond her peers” interjected Mark<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“We are very proud of her and we are blessed to have found
her” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Trebek,” Chichi replied blushing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Maybe you can show Lester some fascinating things around
town if you don’t mind” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“I will Mama, tomorrow morning, because I have to go to
evening market with my mother today. We are making Ofe Ede, your favorite, I
will bring it with me when coming tomorrow” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“That sound marvelous, can’t wait” squealed Susan. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That night Lester could not sleep. He kept thinking about
this human he just met unlike any he had ever known. He knew he would not sleep
until he saw her again. He was the one who opened the door when she came back
at dawn. She was holding a beautiful earthen container and smiling her
beautiful smile. He let her in; “Good morning” he said with a smile.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Good morning Lester, your mama usually opens the door for
me every morning, I was surprised to see you”;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“I think she’s still asleep, do you want to sit and wait for
her”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“What?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Do-you-want-to-sit-and-wait-for-her?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Yes, sorry, you talk too fast”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“I'll-try-to-talk-slower”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“You are funny” she chuckled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As they walked to the market square, Lester wondered about
the scorching sun and how the people were not melting. Chichi wanted to take him
to the market square first because they were a lot of beautiful things to see
there and she was right. When they got there, he could literally feel the eyes
of the people boring holes into his body<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Lekwa onye oyinbo (Look at this white person)” yelled a heavy-set
woman standing over a table of tomatoes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Ehe Chichi, onye bu onye nka (Chichi who is this)”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Owu nwa Mr Mark ochori ma obodo anyi (He’s Mr. Mark’s son
he wants to take a look around)”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Chai oma kwaranma oh, ochori zu akwa? (He’s handsome does
he want to buy a piece of cloth?)’’ <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Owegi ego ta, anyi ga bia achi (He doesn’t have any money now,
but we will come back)” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And so, it went with Chichi showing him around the market and
people either staring, touching or running from him. It was exhausting but also
fascinating. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“You are tired, do you want to sit by the stream? It has
shade”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“That would be nice”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“This is our main source of water” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He never thought people drank water directly from a stream,
was it healthy, this people didn’t seem sick. “wow” he managed to mutter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Your mama said you were on holiday that’s how you managed
to come this time, I’m on holiday too we will resume next month” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“I bet you can’t wait you must have lots of friends” he said
considering how beautiful she was.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“No, I don’t, people call me mammy water”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“What is that?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“She is the goddess of the river and she is wicked” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“You mean a mermaid, surely they know you are not some
goddess mermaid”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“You don’t understand, mammy water has children that come in
human form, they are usually very beautiful and fair skinned. If you are a very
fair woman and strange things happen around, you then people will call you her
child. I have blue eyes which the dibia has already said is cursed, he said I’m
one of the most powerful children of mammy water. Men fear me, women hate me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He was speechless, in his country this girl would have run the
show everybody would have been flocking to have a piece f her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“It’s whispered that I’m the most beautiful virgin in town
but will never get a husband as no man wants the curse of the mammy water in
their family. My mother was once the most beautiful virgin and she got married very
early to the bravest hunter, I’m not even betrothed yet but I do not care I always
have joy in my heart”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“That’s a shame, I think you are amazing, if I were a brave hunter,
I would marry you” and with that they laughed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Time passed and they grew very fond of each other, spending
every waking moment together till it was time for Les to leave. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“I wish I would never leave, I promise I would come back
every year to see you” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“I promise to never forget you”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And they kissed. It was innocent and very sloppy, but it was
their first and they would never forget it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Dude enough with the African magazines, Stacey’s on her way
and did I tell you she’s expecting you to propose to her today?” said Thomas a boisterous
young lawyer who happened to be Lester’s best friend. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“What, why would she think that?” Lester retorted mildly
irritated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Err... because it’s your two-year anniversary and you are
inviting her for a double date with me and my sweet heart whom I just proposed
to”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“It doesn’t mean anything I just want us to have a good time
today”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Well she keeps hounding Emily about it and Emily keeps
hounding me, put a ring on it if it means I can have peace” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Stacey was clearly angry and was doing a poor job of hiding
it after their date. When Lester leaned in to kiss her at their apartment, she
pushed him away. Stacey was a very attractive and intelligent blonde woman with
a fit body and long lean legs. She was already a lawyer at twenty-four and was
well aware that she was a great catch. She loved Les for his looks, the fact that
he was a lawyer too and came from wealth, she felt they would make a power couple
and even make it to the white house. She wandered what kept holding him back
and what kind of idiot would not want to keep her on lock down. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“Come on babe don’t be like that you looked stunning today,
easily the most beautiful woman in the room, I want you” he said as he pulled
her close and leaned in for a kiss again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“No” she pushed him away<o:p></o:p></span></div>

been faithful and everything I do is to make you happy” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

was finally led to his destination. It hit him again like the first time he saw

shirt and a black skirt that did nothing to hide her curves now more pronounced.
She was teaching a group of kids and clearly enjoying every bit of it. He
waited till the class dismissed. When she saw him she stopped and stared.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It was a full moon outside as Nnenna looked up from her
window. “something crazy is about to happen” she thought. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her mother always said crazy things always happened during a
full moon. She never took it seriously until today. She turned around to find
her twin fast asleep, her beautiful sister Amaka with her rich chocolate skin,
upturned nose and small lips all framing huge deep set eyes. She looked so much
like her but was far more beautiful and far more amazing. She looked away. She always
had trouble sleeping, her twin always slept before her she decided to turn on
some music, that always helped her sleep. She turned it on real low especially
not to wake her parents and lay down trying to drift off. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the next room Mr. Ohakwe her father was roused rudely
from his sleep and turned to face her mother, “Agnes this girl has turned on
this music again, I thought we were going to get a break today”,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘And todays’ own is even louder” mused Mrs. Ohakwe <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Should I tell her to turn it down I’ve been having a
headache all day”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Whats the point” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This was one of the days Nnenna hated school or hated school
more intensely. It was gym day today and as she walked down the hall with Amaka
she was in no mood for the fearful, confused and pitiful stares she was
accustomed to. No one looked at Amaka that way. Was it because Amaka was more
beautiful and more popular? She was ready to lash out at anyone who made any
rude comments. As usual, Amaka left her as soon as they walked in the hall
greeting everyone and finally settling on her crush Michael. They both liked
Michael but he had decided to date Amaka, of course he had decided to date Amaka.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She met Stacey at the gym, Stacey was a frail smallish girl who
seemed like she was afraid of everything. They had formed sort of a friendship
because Amaka brutally beat up a girl who was bullying her. She remembered it
like it was yesterday.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was a day in October when she was walking with Amaka to
the bustop, suddenly Amaka stopped and starred at a scene playing before her. A
bunch of their class mates had made a circle around poor Stacey making fun of
her pushing her and calling her a snitch. It was only a matter of minutes
before they would really start harming her. Amaka quickly dropped her bag and strode
up to them asking what little Stacey ever did to them.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Please stay out of this you and your weirdo sister” said
Anne the leader of the pack known for her perpetually mean demeanor and double
edged tongue. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“My sister has nothing to do with this, do not mention her
again. Let Stacey go and pick on someone your own size for once” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Are you kidding me? Get the hell out of here before I chew
you and your demented sister up”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I told you not to mention my sister again” and with a rage
Nnenna had never seen before Amaka descended on Anne and unleashed the kind
fury that cannot be penned on paper. The school authorities finally intervened but
asides from the fury Nnenna saw she also sensed immense satisfaction from
Amaka. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nnenna got a suspension letter that day and her parents were
called in the next morning. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m afraid her behavior is getting out of control”
Principal Lewis said to her parents peering at them through his thick glasses,
“no little girl possesses that kind of strength and anger, I think without
timely intervention she would have done permanent damage to that girl” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Don’t you think you are taking it too far?, interrupted her
father, his face like he was carrying the problems of the whole world on his
shoulders, he certainly felt like that at least, “the two of them had a fight, Anne
is known for being an unrepentant bully and don’t forget she has targeted my
daughter for a long time calling her all sorts of names that you know is a
trigger for her. I’m sorry for what happened and will try to reach out, but
this was bound to happen based on her incessant harassment”. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Mr Ohakwe are you trying to point fingers here or are you
going to take responsibility for your daughter who just mercilessly beat up
another child?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Of course, I take responsibility, I promise this won’t
repeat itself she’s a peaceful girl it won’t happen again” he said a little more
sober<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It can’t happen again if not I will have to rule her unfit
to take classes with other children, I will arrange for her to see the
counsellor everyday till he can report a significant change in her. You see we
try to accommodate every type of child in this environment but you have to
understand we cannot put other children at risk. One more time and she will be
expelled”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I understand” he replied quieter still. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nnenna was looking back and forth between her parents and
her sister wondering how she also got the letter when her father bellowed “this
cannot repeat itself, this is not how I trained you” Amaka nodded and buried
her head, Nnenna looked up. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Do you hear me Nnenna”, <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“what did I do, I didn’t fight anybody” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“it doesn’t matter when you see her like that you control her,
she’s your responsibility”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“ok” and she wondered yet again why her father never scolded
her sister. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Stacey reeled her in from her reverie, “the game is about to
start let’s take our positions”. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next morning Nnnena was absentmindedly eating cereal
getting ready for school when her mum came down with some pills. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Good morning Mummy”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Morning Nne, I have some vitamins for you, this your lack
of sleep is becoming something else, you take one every day with breakfast ok,
I know you don’t like taking pills but these are very important and necessary
for your health, don’t make me stand here every morning and watch you take it
because you know I will. Oya open your hand”. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She did as she was told.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“very good, you will see that you will start feeling better”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Agnes leaned into her daughter and spoke tenderly to her
“You know mummy loves you and always wants the best for you right?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Yes”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“This will help you ok”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“yes”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She kissed her daughter tenderly on her forehead “I love
you”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
By the next week after school while Nnenna was sitting with
her sister waiting for the bus when Amaka turned to her with such sadness. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I will run away” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What, why?” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Mummy and daddy don’t like me”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What do you mean Amaka, everybody loves you”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“No, they don’t, don’t you see how they treat me, always
acting as if I’m not there, talking to you instead of me especially Daddy”, <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Daddy just does not like scolding you, you know he’s always
angry”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“It doesn’t matter Nne, I’m leaving its too much if our
parents don’t want me then they can have just you” And with that she stood up
and started walking. Nnenna, stared at her for a while before walking after her
screaming her name.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ami, come back you can’t leave me alone, what will I do
without you, what the hell will I do without you! I’m nothing without you. You
are a part of me I’m lost without you” she cried hopelessly with tears
streaming down her face hopeless heart wrenching tears.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was dark before she realized her sister was not coming
back and she was lost really lost, she slumped under a tree staring, helpless,
hopeless. Before long she heard footsteps and a police officer’s flashlight he
saw her crying and crouched beside her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Don’t be afraid dear, I’m officer savoy, everything is
going to be alright. What’s your name dear? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Nnenna Ohakwe, my sister ran away and I’ve been trying to
find her” she said<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Right” he said, and she sensed that he didn’t quite believe
her like he was already told not to believe her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“we will find her dear but right now your mum is worried
sick” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He led her back to her mother who was heaving and her father
with a desperate look on his face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Oh, my baby, are you ok? Are you hurt? what happened?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mrs Ohakwe cried hugging her child tightly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Amaka ran away mummy” she said bursting into fresh tears<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Its ok that’s why the police are here they will find her and
bring her back to us but now me must go to the hospital ok to see if you are
really ok” she said wiping away the heartbreaking tears from her child. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It had been days maybe weeks that she had not heard from her
sister Amaka and Nene mourned her daily and prayed earnestly that she would
come back. She was so depressed she didn’t notice that she had not been going
to school, she had in fact been confined into a room since she was found in the
woods. Her parents were outside the room talking to her doctor.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“But you said the drugs would help her not turn her into
this depressed morose thing. My child is losing herself” declared her father.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Schizophrenia is a very complex disease’ explained Dr
Weinstein patiently “the drugs were to handle the hallucinations and hopefully
bring her back to reality. The fact that she lost Amaka means the drugs are
working but you must give her time to come to, Amaka was her life and she is
allowed to grieve. I wouldn’t call this a setback I would call this an improvement”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“How long does she have to be here? asked Agnes<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“As long as is needed for her treatment when she is no
longer a danger to herself or to others”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mr and Mrs Ohakwe looked into the room at their daughter and
wondered simultaneously if their child their precious princess the only child
they ever had would ever be normal. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<span id="goog_497232446"></span><span id="goog_497232447"></span>‘I know what I saw'. Do you really Anna, do you. It’s just all the booze and the pill popping it is only common sense if we believe you do not in fact know what you saw. You are an agoraphobic with severe PTSD also an alcoholic and an a fervent abuser of prescription medication I’m really at a loss to take whatever you say seriously particularly something so dramatic and detailed as the murder of someone whom you don’t even know what her name is but you claim is your friend. Someone whom no one has ever seen before.<br />
<br />
A.J Finn no doubt is an excellent writer, I totally enjoyed his writing and story line especially because this is my favorite genre so if you don’t like thrillers especially psychological ones then this book is not for you. I also liked the sucker punch surprises he kept introducing throughout the book it added a lot of flavor to the story. Although I must say there were a lot of unnecessary scenes in the book like the sex scene what was that supposed to achieve? I’ll tell you what, nothing. Plus it was over before it even started but that’s a story for another day.<br />
<br />
My main grudge with the book however is the main character. Did any one else find her extremely annoying and insufferable, I know she went through a lot but as an avid reader of novels and a very sympathetic one at that I felt no ounce of pity or even empathy towards her I really disliked this main character even. If that’s what Finn was going for I think he did a very good job of that but I know that’s not what he was going for. Throughout the book, you would find that she makes several poor judgments too much for a doctor even absurd for a children’s psychologist that the ending will make you question if she was indeed a children’s psychologist or it was all in her messed up head.<br />
<br />
I think Finn was trying too hard to prove a point that common sense seemed to be removed from the book everything about the book is totally against common sense. Going by what we learned throughout the book, it was supposed to end the first way he made it look like it was going to end and that was quite a relief for me because that was what made sense. However, I guess that’s not the point of a psychological thriller huh, it’s supposed to give you the shock effect but the shock effect is supposed to make sense and make you look stupid right? Well, this one did not. It ended up being more annoying than it was meant to be and the more you think about it you would see that the ending is surprising because it doesn’t even make sense you don’t see it coming because it shouldn’t be coming, she is a children’s psychologist for Pete’s sake how can something you know so well play you so well too well in-fact.<br />
<br />
The ending left me wondering if I was missing something. I wondered what just happened. Is it me or….like bad sex you know or something along those lines.<br />
<br />
A J Finn is brilliant but I just feel that everyone should have sat down and thought this through before publishing. On the flip side the book was entertaining so it was worth the read.<br />

Sally hated the rain. She couldn’t place why but she’s always hated it since she was a little girl. She was sitting right at the kitchen window of her home where she liked to have breakfast with Alex. That seat was now empty.<br />
<br />
She suddenly remembered all the reasons why she hated the rain they came flooding back with such force that she forgot to breathe and found herself gasping for air.<br />
<br />
It was three years ago when she was walking home from work because her car broke down. She thought she could make it home before the rain but of course the rain thought something else. When she was halfway through it came down with the vengeful force it only reserved for her and she immediately was soaked. She kept her head down and kept walking all the while cursing under her breath. Suddenly a car stopped and the driver came down with an umbrella in his hand.<br />
“I don’t mean to startle you madam but it’s pouring rain and I just want to get you to your destination safely. I mean no harm”.<br />
She knew he was talking but all she could see were the kindest blue eyes staring right through to her soul.<br />
True to his word he took her home and walked her to her front door, making sure she was in and safe. Throughout the ride home they never said a word to each other except when she told him her address.<br />
<br />
Over the next week she kept receiving flowers from the same person with a beautiful note every time. It was always something kind, something uplifting. Then one day the mystery ‘flower-sender’ decided to leave his name this time and a number. She texted him. ‘You should take me out to dinner’.<br />
<br />
At 8pm prompt the man with the kindest eyes was at her door again. She had forgotten just how stunning he was. It was an evening that shouldn’t have ended. Alex was the first man she ever really felt a connection with and she felt completely safe in his presence. This was a new feeling because she never knew her father and all three step-fathers’ she had, had all physically assaulted her to the point that she ran away from home when she was eighteen.<br />
<br />
Alex was everything she never knew a man could be. He was kind, honest and utterly selfless that is why when he died she knew she was not destined to ever be happy.<br />
<br />
It was of course a rainy day two years into their marriage she was home doing the dishes on a Monday morning because she took a sick leave. She was pregnant with their first child and it was proving to be a complicated pregnancy. The home phone rang. She cheerily went to pick it up whoever it was said she needed to get to Healing Hospital it was an emergency he/she said. In an utterly confused state she picked up her keys and drove down absentmindedly cursing the rain. She got in introduced herself and proceeded to wherever the nurse was taking her to. Before she got there the doctor intercepted her.<br />
“Are you Mrs Blackmon”<br />
“Yes”<br />
“I’m Dr. Chike, I’m so sorry we tried everything we could your husband passed five minutes ago”<br />
“What happened to him”<br />
“He was hit by a drunk driver who is in police custody right now”<br />
“I’m deeply sorry for your loss”<br />
“What loss”<br />
Then it began to dawn slowly on her; “Who the hell drives drunk on a Monday morning”, she thought “why is the room spinning so much, why can I feel my legs, wha…..”<br />
<br />
She opened her eyes and the first person she saw was her mother. This had to be bad she only saw her mum when something terrible terrible had happened and then she remembered but she did not have enough spirit in her to cry. She wished herself to wherever Alex was but if only wishes were horses.<br />
<br />
She later learned she lost her child the same day she heard the news. Everything became a blur to her, the funeral, the doctor visits, the therapy sessions, everything was just one big blur.<br />
<br />
She stared down at the prescription pain medication in front of her at the kitchen table and she thought this time I will be with Alex and nothing will ever take me away from him again.<br />

the cream a month not counting his snapchat which you have to pay N10,000 to follow him and
like another N10,000 to take a picture with him when he’s on tour (whatever that
means) and yes people actually pay this money. He also has modelling gigs and endorsements deals so for a 25 year

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arms spread. I lay on my matrimonial bed. I looked around
me, sheer luxury. The bed I lay on with its orthopedic mattress was imported
from the U.K made with the finest wood with gold finishing by Nella Ventrina
Italy. I had an Armenian carpet that felt like stepping on clouds and my vanity
mirror was state of the art imported from Dubai. I had the latest curved Samsung HD Television
that I argued with Yinusa not to have in the bedroom, I didn’t see a reason why
I would have a t.v in the bedroom when I had one in the den, living room and
every other room for that matter. Yinusa my husband however hated quiet places
he hated to stay still, like has was always running from himself, so yes, we
had to get the t.v. for the bedroom because my husband always won and my
husband was afraid to hear his own thoughts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The reason he always won was not because I came from a poor
background; my father was one of the tailors that worked in the design company
where his family made their clothes. He heard me singing one day in the
warehouse where my father worked amidst other tailors and the rest they say is
history. There was no history for me however, because his mother never failed
to remind me that I was in fact a lesser human being than every other member of
the family including her rapist brother. I was poor and that was never my
history it was my present and future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The reason he always won, was because I am a very placid
person, I don’t fight for anything and I hate confrontations. That is why even
when his mother told me one day “So you allow only the maids clean my son’s
house eh you are too big to do it abi, if not that we rescued you from the
hands of that your father that sews rags for a wretched living where will you
have seen juice to be drinking while people work for you” I couldn’t reply her.
Not out of respect because the words that fought to come out said “If anybody
should be ashamed its you, you that had an affair with your boss because of
money and when you got pregnant you latched on to the fact that his wife
couldn’t have children and frustrated her out of her home. That is how you came
into money unlike my father that etches out an honest living making beautiful
clothes which one of them is in fact what you are wearing” but because I didn’t
have it me I just cried out of her presence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Looking at the time it was 5pm and I was bored as hell. In
between the fancy parties, vacations, soirees with top government officials and
one celebration or the other honoring me to get money from me, my marriage was
as lifeless as the limpness of a eunuch. I felt nothing for my husband. I
married him because he was persistent and because he was rich, it seemed the
sensible thing to do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I stood up from the bed, put on my sky blue swimsuit, draped
on a towel and proceeded downstairs to take a swim. When I arrived the pool
area I had to catch my breath. The creature in front of me had ivory skin with buttocks
the shape of perfectly pumped footballs and legs that would make any model
green with envy. The creature turned and I could see breasts that filled out
perfectly and a tummy that had the markings of an athlete. She wore a bright
pink bikini and had just gotten out of the water. Kakushia looked up at me and
smiled; her perfect white teeth framed on a heart shaped face and upturned eyes
twinkled at me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Hello Toyeke”, she said with a voice like silk<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Hi” I whispered, barely trusting my voice <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“The water is lovely” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I just looked down at the pool sheepishly in reply. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I had always admired
Kakushia; she was outspoken, confident and lived on her own rules. She was the
opposite of me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Okay knock yourself out” she smiled while running her eyes
over me slowly, oh ever so slowly before sauntering past me swaying her hips exaggeratedly
like she always did. For the first time in three years, all the years of my
marriage I felt conscious of my body and strangely, I felt a wetness between my
thighs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was already seated at the dinner table when my husband
came in. A tall dark god of a man. He had everything in the right proportion
and knew it, that was why he always got his way with the ladies even as a
married man. He put down his leather briefcase; it was Bottega Veneta’s
Intreccio Imperatore Briefcase that cost him three thousand six hundred and eighty
dollars. It was navy blue so you couldn’t miss it. He kissed me and sat down
next to me. I had been waiting for him with his food set as that had been our
ritual; he would come home 7pm and we would eat at the table with any other family
member present at the time. In this case, it was his rapist uncle that joined
us. I had put on a bright red low cut blouse showing off my ample bosom and a
deep blue jean bum short showing off my straight legs thinking Kakushia would
join us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“You look ravishing sweetheart” Yinusa said, eyeing me
hungrily, not that I appreciated it, our lovemaking lasted only ten minutes on
average. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Thank you love” I replied, feigning a blush. His rapist
uncle ogled me wolfishly and for the first time I didn’t care, I was waiting
for Kushia. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Where is Kay”, my husband asked noticing his sister’s
absence <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“She said she has a birthday party to attend, she won’t be
joining us” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“That’s too bad” I said wondering whether I showed too much
disappointment, I wanted to go upstairs and drape on a wrapper.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">July first was Yinusa’s birthday. We spent two weeks
preparing for it. A chef had to be flown in from Thailand and we went to Paris
to shop for our attires. I had a fitting done by Nina Ricci. The event
coordinator was an overpriced young lady but I understood why Yinusa hired her,
not because of her experience because judging from her age you could tell she
didn’t have much but because she was a governor’s daughter and Yinusa didn’t
play with making and keeping connections in high places.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The birthday party itself was a nauseating display of wealth
both from our end and from the guests which comprised of former Heads of
States, ministers, governors and internationally renowned business men. You
would also find the highest bidding working girls with their magically transformed
skin and weaves that made you wonder how they manage to lift their heads. Our
expansive living room was decorated with purple, cream and dark red colors, in
the center was a tall champagne fountain and at the far end of the hall facing
the door was the two-million-naira cake flanked by a wall of white peonies,
roses and gardenias that had to be flown in fresh that day. Five Nigerian A
list artistes were billed to perform and I recognized one of them as she was
sleeping with my husband last year. The buffet had food ranging from truffle macacini,
clementine and vodka-baked salmon with beetroot crème fraiche sauce, sautéed
chorizo with red wine, smoked fish and potato latkes sharing platter cheese and
pesto whirls sole goujons with mango and lime dip to our very own rice dishes
and swallow. After playing the role of grand hostess to a T, and the hall began
to thin, I and Kay sank down on a plush sofa and bad mouthed all the guests
while drinking punch. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Hey babe I will be rounding up with the guys elsewhere”
Yinusa whispered in my ears <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Have fun love” I kissed in reply <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Within minutes the hall was completely empty save for the
cleaners beginning their job. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“The emptiness of this room is getting to me, let’s go
upstairs” I whispered to Kushia <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I led her to my room and turned on the T.V. while we sat on
the bed drinking and laughing at everything we saw on t.v. I laughed too close
to her face and talked directly into her ears. I was saying something I can’t
remember now into her ears when turned and kissed me. I felt my body awaken and
I kissed back. She slid her hands down below and parted my flimsy Victoria’s
secret while taking every bit of me in with her mouth. I wanted to scream. I
felt an electric charge gaining up in me. I went wild. I felt feral as I let myself
go and let myself free till there were colors, brightness and explosions. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Few things are as fun as travelling, but being on the go can make it hard to stick to your skin care routine. So here are a few hacks for great vacation skin.</span></div>
</div>
</header><div class="content" itemprop="articleBody" style="clear: both; font-size: 14px; max-height: 1e+06px; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 25px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">1. STICK TO GOOD ROUTINES </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Just because you’re going away, it doesn’t mean that you have to break good habits. Yes, packing bulky products can be tricky, particularly if you’ve only got hand luggage, but there’s a simple solution: samples. These small sachets, normally containing 10 ml of day or night cream can be bought online – perfect for mini-breaks. And, when it comes to your cleansing regime, simply decant your cleanser and toner into several 100 ml reusable bottles.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">2. FAVOUR A MULTI-USE BALM </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Dry lips, hands, nails – you name it, a multi-use balm has you covered. Oriflame’s iconic Tender Care is a miniature pot of intensely nourishing balm that’s small enough to take away on your travels.</span></div>
<span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; height: auto !important; text-size-adjust: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="409" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2017/C07/local/AA/updated-editorials/Skincare-travel-hacks/img1_NG.ashx?u=0101010000&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; height: auto !important; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: middle;" width="684" /></span></span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">3. TREAT YOURSELF </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Post-plane skin is likely to be dull and dry – not pretty. So, we recommend a brightening face mask on arrival. Try a sheet mask – they’re designed to intensely hydrate your skin and add radiance, or look to a gel-based mask that will revitalise tired-looking skin in just over 10 minutes.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">4. REDUCE PUFFY EYES </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Overnight travel is rarely restful, often leaving you with under-eye puffiness and dark circles. For an instant pick-me-up, leave your favourite eye cream in the fridge the night before travelling, and apply on-the-go. The coolness of the product will refresh and sooth tired-looking eyes.</span></div>

<br /></h1>
<div class="intro-text" itemprop="description" style="font-size: 22px; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 18px; max-height: 1e+06px; padding: 0px 25px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: none;">
<div style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Known by her peers as the lacemaker of flowers, Sophie Labbé is the award-winning perfumer behind My Destiny. Radiating positivity, Sophie gives us a glimpse into how she crafted the scent, and explains why being a perfumer was always her destiny.</span></div>
</div>
</header><div class="content" itemprop="articleBody" style="clear: both; font-size: 14px; max-height: 1e+06px; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 25px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">You do not come from a family of perfumers, how did you find yourself working with fragrance?</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />I have always been interested in smell, but I never knew that it could be a career!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was only when I was studying chemistry at university, that I read an article about the school of fragrance ISIPCA, and I knew that was where I wanted to be. But before applying I needed to meet a perfumer – I wanted to understand what it meant to create perfume for a living, and so I reached out to master perfumer Jean Kerlo. By coincidence he was the president of admittance at ISPICA and recognised me when I applied to the school; in many ways, this was destiny at work!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">So you believe that perfumery was your destiny then?</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Yes! I didn’t know it at the time, but the stars aligned for me and now I definitely believe that this was my destiny; I think that we all have a unique path in life and a goal that we have to achieve.</span></div>
<span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; text-size-adjust: none; width: 684px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2016/C14/The-Perfumers-Destiny-words-with-Sophie-Labbe/img_1.ashx?u=1608231322&h=285&w=684&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; height: 285px; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: middle; width: 684px;" /></span></span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">As someone that initially studied chemistry, do you treat scent-making as science, or are you more romantic than that?</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />I am definitely both. You see, a perfumer needs to be extremely curious and has to enjoy new experiences, because this feeds innovation and imagination. But, as well as a sensitive spirit, you also need to have the rationality of a scientist – you have to have both sides.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">Do you think you smell the world differently from most people? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />I don’t think I smell the world differently, because we all smell in our own way; our perceptions are enhanced by emotions and experiences. But I probably perceive more scents – it’s a bit like a game: I pass someone on the street and try to guess their perfume – like investigating. Or, when I travel, I find it super interesting to arrive at an airport and think, “how would I define my first contact with this country.”</span></div>
<span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; height: auto !important; text-size-adjust: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="285" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2016/C14/The-Perfumers-Destiny-words-with-Sophie-Labbe/img_2.ashx?u=1608231322&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; height: auto !important; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: middle;" width="684" /></span></span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">The semiprecious stone, tourmaline has been used to enhance My Destiny – what is the significance of the gem?</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />This stone is really special because of its positive energy and ability to boost confidence. To me, wearing a precious stone is like wearing a perfume – it empowers you. Tourmaline is associated with the expression of creativity, which I believe makes this fragrance even more special; you have the power of the fragrance, plus the energy of the tourmaline stone.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">What gives you confidence and positive energy?</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Love! It gives me strength and makes me moves mountains. I am able to exceed my own limits when I feel loved. And passion. I also need to be passionate in what I do, because this makes me happy, strong and determined.</span></div>
<span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; text-size-adjust: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2016/C14/The-Perfumers-Destiny-words-with-Sophie-Labbe/img_3.ashx?u=1608231322&h=312&w=202&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; float: right; height: 312px; margin-left: 5px; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: middle; width: 202px;" /></span></span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">Can you tell us a bit about the other notes found in My Destiny? How and why did you select them?</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />We wanted to create scent that resonates positive energy, so the fragrance starts with sparkles of grapefruit and blueberries. At the heart, the peony was an important addition, as it adds elegance. Then orange blossom gives the fragrance power. And finally patchouli.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To me, patchouli has a lot of depth and mystery, an aura that is important for My Destiny – there’s something special about it, it’s very addictive.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">How did it feel to complete My Destiny?</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />I was super proud and happy with My Destiny, especially as it was the first time that I had collaborated with Oriflame.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nothing breathes elegance and grace quite like a princess; and so we’ve searched the world for the 5 royal women who always impress.</span></div>
</div>
</header><div class="content" itemprop="articleBody" style="clear: both; font-size: 14px; max-height: 1e+06px; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 25px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; text-size-adjust: none; width: 684px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2016/C09/5-princess-and-their-beauty-look/image1.ashx?u=1605130749&h=332&w=684&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; height: 332px; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: top; width: 684px;" /></span></span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">Princess Catherine of the United Kingdom</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Princess Catherine (formerly Kate Middleton) married Prince William in 2011, in one of the most high-profile royal weddings to date. Since then she’s had two children, focused on charitable work, and was selected as one of the “100 most influential People in the World” by Time Magazine. Her signature look consists of soft-coverage foundation, brown eyeliner and flushed cheeks. To get Kate’s smoky, brown eye, try smudging your liner to soften it, wear your eyebrows groomed, and opt for a nude lip. We love her trademark, salon-blown hair.</span></div>
<span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; text-size-adjust: none; width: 684px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2016/C09/5-princess-and-their-beauty-look/image2.ashx?u=1605130749&h=356&w=684&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; height: 356px; margin-top: 10px; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: top; width: 684px;" /></span></span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana of Thailand</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana, the daughter of the Crown Prince Maha Vajralongkorn, is a Paris Fashion Week regular. Her signature look is on-trend and colourful, but never short on sophistication. She’s not one to shy away from bright lipsticks, which she pairs with exaggerated lashes, high-coverage foundation and bronzed cheeks. Check out her thick, glossy mane for some real hair envy!</span></div>
<span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; text-size-adjust: none; width: 684px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2016/C09/5-princess-and-their-beauty-look/image3.ashx?u=1605130749&h=332&w=684&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; height: 332px; margin-top: 10px; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: top; width: 684px;" /></span></span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">Queen Rania Al-Abdullah of Jordan</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />OK, so she’s not a Princess, but Queen Rania of Jordan is not only considered one of the most progressive women in her region, she’s also a beauty icon. Her signature look is comprised of dusty-rose lipstick and defined dramatic eyes, lending to a balanced elegance that’s fit for a queen. Her go-to beauty products include liquid eyeliner (which she only wears on her upper lash line), matte eye shadows (in neutral, brown tones) and thick mascara – smoky eye makeup perfection.</span></div>
<span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; text-size-adjust: none; width: 684px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2016/C09/5-princess-and-their-beauty-look/image4.ashx?u=1605130749&h=358&w=684&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; height: 358px; margin-top: 10px; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: top; width: 684px;" /></span></span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">Princess Keisha Omilana of Nigeria</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />When Nigerian Prince Kunle Omilana saw Keisha for the first time, he greeted her with: "You are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my entire life.” He has a point! The model and philanthropist likes to keep her makeup simple – think dewy skin and perfectly defined brows. Skin is worn natural with a light-coverage foundation, shimmering, highlighted cheeks and tinted lip gloss - stunning!</span></div>
<span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; text-size-adjust: none; width: 684px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2016/C09/5-princess-and-their-beauty-look/image5.ashx?u=1605130749&h=332&w=684&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; height: 332px; margin-top: 10px; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: top; width: 684px;" /></span></span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">Princess Madeleine of Sweden</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />In addition to her royal duties and charity work, Princess Madeleine of Sweden loves horse riding – perhaps that explains her rosy cheeks and glowing complexion? Her signature look is shiny hair and defined eyes; chic and occasion-appropriate. The princess tends to skip eye shadow and opt for soft, brown eye pencil, which she pairs with pink lip gloss or deeper red and mauve shades.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">2. HOW DO I DETERMINE WHICH NOVAGE RANGE IS BEST FOR MY SKIN? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Your age gives you an indication, but it is more important to identify your main skin concerns and choose a range that targets them.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">3. WHICH SPECIFIC SIGNS OF SKIN AGEING DOES THE NOVAGE SKIN CARE SYSTEM TARGET? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />You can continue to use your existing products, but we recommend switching to NovAge as it is designed to be most effective when using the set of six products, following the Youth Enhancing Skin Care Routine.</span></div>

WHAT IS A CLINICAL STUDY AND WHAT DOES CLINICALLY PROVEN MEAN? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />A clinical study involves volunteers testing a product for a given period of time. The benefits brought by the product are objectively measured using various technical methods.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Clinically proven means that the claims to substantiate the benefits of the product are coming from a clinical test with objective measurements.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">6. NOVAGE IS DESCRIBED AS BEING POWERED BY NATURAL INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES.

<div style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We have turned 50! And in light of the anniversary we’re curious to learn more about the remarkable men who started Oriflame. So, Mike Hibbs sat down with our founders, Robert and Jonas af Jochnick, for an exclusive interview.</span></div>
</div>
</header><div class="content" itemprop="articleBody" style="clear: both; font-size: 14px; max-height: 1e+06px; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 25px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When Robert and Jonas quit their jobs at successful, well-established companies 50 years ago, people thought they were crazy. But they had a big idea, and even bigger ambition. And with loads of self-belief and unwavering positivity, they have made Oriflame one of the largest beauty companies in the world.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When asked where they got their winning mentality from, the answer is obvious – they got it from each other. Being very competitive since childhood, they always played a lot of sports and arranged contests at home. According to their sister, they even timed themselves running to school. It never ended. And this competitiveness has played a huge role in Oriflame’s success over the years.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“We were so used to fighting for what we believed in. It was imprinted in our DNA. But also in our culture and our kind of business – it was so passionate.” Robert says.</span></div>
<span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; height: auto !important; text-size-adjust: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="293" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2017/C02/Meet-Our-Founders-Robert-and-Jonas/img1.ashx?u=1612191603&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; height: auto !important; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: middle;" width="684" /></span></span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That fighting spirit becomes apparent when you hear how they’ve dealt with challenges over the years. It’s as if they don’t recognise problems – but only see opportunities. Opportunities to change things and make them better.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Never ever give up. There is always a better way somewhere. Entrepreneurship is when you’ve got your back to the wall but manage to find a way out.” Jonas says.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This winning mentality obviously rubbed off, since everyone who joined Oriflame over the years shared the same great energy and values. They never gave up either. Robert and Jonas took particular care when hiring Country Managers. They knew that choosing like-minded people was crucial to keeping the special Oriflame culture alive.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And of course, the same applies to the sales force. Oriflame quickly became, and still is, a magnet for those who strive to make a positive change in their life, and also the lives of everyone around them. Those people have become symbols of success within Oriflame – symbols of the amazing things that can happen when people join.</span></div>
<span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; height: auto !important; text-size-adjust: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="293" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2017/C02/Meet-Our-Founders-Robert-and-Jonas/img2-copy-3.ashx?u=1612191603&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; height: auto !important; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: middle;" width="684" /></span></span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jonas looks back on these earlier days with huge warmth and satisfaction: <br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />“It was so incredibly exciting just meeting all these people. Many said they lacked self-confidence and couldn’t talk to other people, and we said: “You’ll be surprised. When I see you in a year’s time you will be a Leader – standing on the stage”. And true enough, there they were.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Witnessing this kind of positive change in peoples’ lives is what makes Jonas and Robert feel most proud of all.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"What really makes us happy is the lives we’ve helped change. It’s a beautiful feeling.” Robert says. “This business opportunity has enabled so many people to fulfil their dreams – they’ve put their children through school, had the chance to become entrepreneurs and to grow as individuals."</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They believe that selling dreams and opportunity is incredibly inspiring – something that brings meaning to life. They also strongly believed that all good things should be accessible to everyone – not to the privileged few. Put simply, Oriflame offers everyone the opportunity to fulfil their dreams and change their lives – to look, feel and live better.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Could you ever imagine that we would make such a difference to so many people?” Robert asks his older brother, Jonas.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And that difference it’s not just monetary. The brothers realised quickly that Consultants enjoyed growing as people through their new jobs. They also noticed that the higher Consultants climbed on the Oriflame Career Ladder, the more they felt part of a warm and supportive family.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;"><em style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;"><span style="font-size: 30px; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Oriflame is a family business with family values”</span></span></em></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those family values are at the very core of the business. Being brothers had an enormous effect on this of course. It came naturally. While competitors might try to emulate a family feeling, it’s impossible to recreate the real thing. And Robert and Jonas saw the positive effect this had on attracting people to their sales force. So much so, that sometimes whole families joined the business.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But, however big the company has gotten, success is in the details. The fleeting moments of kindness between brothers, their natural ability to communicate in a very “down-to-earth” way, and how they always deal with people in a very positive, understanding way.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s these small, yet extremely powerful characteristics that have driven Oriflame for the last 50 years. And they will continue to drive Oriflame for many more to come.</span></div>

In 1967 Robert and Jonas af Jochnick started Oriflame. The same year a young woman started her journey as a Consultant. Now, 50 years later, Anne-Maj Östlund is still active and part of the exclusive Golden Girls club. This is her story!</div>

<strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">WHEN DID YOU JOIN ORIFLAME? </strong><br />
I joined Oriflame at the start 50 years ago, with my mom and my little sister. Then, due to personal circumstances, I took a break. But in 1986 I started again on my own accord, as I could never really let go of Oriflame. I also had two teenage daughters at the time, and I wanted them to think that I was hip. However, we didn’t have a lot of money.<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
I was good at selling and recruiting, so I became a Regional Manager that same year. I still work with Oriflame, and so does my oldest daughter.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">WHAT’S YOUR BEST MEMORY FROM ALL THESE YEARS? </strong><br />
All the trips I’ve been on! But my favourite memory is the trip I joined for Oriflame’s 25th anniversary – what an incredible event! I’ve experienced such happiness, but also the opportunity to help others to succeed and find happiness!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: none;">
<em style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;"><span style="font-family: "caslonori"; font-size: 30px; max-height: 1e 06px;">"I’ve experienced such happiness, but also the opportunity to help others to succeed and find happiness!"</span></em></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">WHAT HAS WORKING WITH ORIFLAME MEANT TO YOU? </strong><br />
I’ve grown immensely, and become tougher and braver. I used to be a very shy girl, who had problems believing in herself. Oriflame has also given me the opportunity to make money, which has been crucial since I started with next to nothing.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">WHAT PRODUCTS CAN YOU STILL NOT LIVE WITHOUT? </strong><br />
Tender Care Protecting Balm is number one for me. It’s been around all these years and is a true multi-purpose product with tons of uses. Previously, I used skin care products from the Royal Velvet and Time Reversing ranges, but now I use the NovAge Ultimate Lift series.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">SHARE YOUR BEST TIP FOR NEW CONSULTANTS! </strong><br />
There are so many opportunities! Make sure you have a clear plan and set clear goals. It’s also important to keep personal contact with people. Since I’ve got the challenge of long distances, I call people and tell them how amazing Oriflame is. Good occasions to make calls is to congratulate people on their birthdays. Wish them good luck and be someone they can depend on!</div>

If you're not blessed with thick, dark lashes and a wide-awake look, don't fret! Oriflame Artistic Director, Jonas Wramell has five essential tips for creating the illusion of larger-looking eyes.</span></div>

</header><div class="content" itemprop="articleBody" style="clear: both; font-size: 14px; max-height: 1e+06px; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 25px; text-size-adjust: none;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;"><img alt="" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2016/C05/How-to-make-your-eyes-look-larger/byline.ashx?u=1602221634&h=229&w=192&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; float: left; height: 229px; margin-right: 20px; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: middle; width: 192px;" />TRICK #1 EYE PENCIL</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Rim your upper and lower waterline with a white or beige eye pencil, which will instantly make your eyes look whiter and bigger. People tend to only apply eyeliner to their lower waterline, but that means you’ll blink the colour away! This trick is quick, easy and very effective. <br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">TRICK #2 HIGHLIGHTER</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Dab a white, light-reflecting highlighter in the inner corners of your eyes. The rule is: anything that’s dark will intensify your eyes but make them look smaller, and anything that’s light will make the eyes look larger and more awake. <br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">TRICK #3 BUILDING DEPTH<img alt="" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2016/C05/How-to-make-your-eyes-look-larger/img_1.ashx?u=1602221627&h=270&w=250&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; float: right; height: 270px; margin-left: 20px; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: middle; width: 250px;" /></strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Building depth will maximise the size of your eyes – it’s a trick that Angelina Jolie uses a lot. Apply a vanilla coloured eye shadow to your whole, lid and up to your brows. Then use a large eye shadow brush to apply a dark colour to the outer corner of your eye, working the colour into the crease. Use a liquid or soft pencil eyeliner to draw a line from the centre of your iris fading to the outer corner of your eye. Don’t apply to the inner corner of your eyes if you want that “pop” effect. And finally, leave your lower lash line bare. Dark shadows beneath your eyes create an intense look rather than doll eyes, so focus the attention above rather than below. <br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;"><img alt="" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2016/C05/How-to-make-your-eyes-look-larger/img_2.ashx?u=1602221631&h=353&w=207&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; float: left; height: 353px; margin-right: 20px; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: middle; width: 207px;" />TRICK #4 CURL CURL CURL</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Curl your lashes for just 20 seconds and you’ll immediately have wider-looking eyes. <br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />The magic trick is to curl your lases in sections, rather than all at once. Start by the roots – CURL - move your way up to the middle – CURL - and then finish at the end of your eye lashes - CURL. This way you’ll have doll-like lashes, rather than a crease in the centre of your lashes. For extra impact, take your eyelash curler and curl one final time at your roots, tilting your curler upwards (yes, get close your eye ball!) – and oomph! <br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">TRICK # 5 MASCARA</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Use a volumising mascara instead of a lengthening one. And apply it in thee steps: start at the inner corner of your eye, then apply to the middle (pushing upwards) and lastly at the outer corner. Here, you’ll want to angle your mascara brush sideways and drag away from your face.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This technique will create a fan like effect, giving the illusion of fuller lashes and larger eyes.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Oriflame is built on dreams, and one of our main goals is to inspire women across the world to be strong and independent.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">1. YOU’RE ORIGINALLY SWEDISH. SO, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING IN NIGERIA? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />I have been living in Nigeria for over 7 years now. How time flies!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">2. WHAT DO YOU LIKE THE MOST ABOUT LIVING THERE? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />I really love the people, the warmth and happiness here. Nigerians are super-entrepreneurs and for me this is very inspiring! I love being in an environment where people are eager to grow and are pushing for greatness.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">3. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WORK AT ORIFLAME? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />My work at Oriflame is very varied - no day looks the same. The work is very social and I get to meet our amazing leaders every day.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a regular day I get to the office quite early. I’m a morning person and feel I get a head start if I have my first coffee in the office. I guess it has to do with me being very competitive. Then I usually dedicate my mornings for admin work and emails.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our leaders start to arrive to the office just before lunch, so I walk around to greet people and talk to my team about how their day is going. For me it’s important that visitors to our office and service center instantly feels welcome.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also have a number of trainings in the office every day. So, a lot of my time goes into planning for the future and to strengthen our leader plans to fit the market.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">4. WHAT GIVES YOU STRENGHT EVERY DAY? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Easy! Our people! Our great Oriflame Nigeria leaders and the staff in the office. It gives me strength to see the change people are making every day with Oriflame. We are trying to create a culture where people are feeling involved and empowered by their everyday contribution to Oriflame Nigeria. Nigerians on average have a very high and contagious energy that I love. Just seeing how people are running their businesses and trying to make their life better give a lot of energy, I am impressed by the power people have!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">5. YOU WERE RECENTLY INAUGURATED AS A SWEDISH HONORARY CONSUL IN LAGOS. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU, PERSONALLY? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />I’m Swedish by birth, but for the past 10 years I have lived abroad. Still, I have a strong connection to Sweden, and think that we have a lot of good values and culture that is worth sharing. I believe that by being part of the Swedish official representation in Nigeria, I can help do this. I also feel that Sweden can learn a lot from Nigeria, so I also see it as my mission to share the greatness of Nigeria when I visit Sweden.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">6. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO WOMEN WHO WISH TO BE INDEPENDENT IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL LIFE? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />To be independent in your business life, you need to know your stuff! Strive for perfection and to be the best at what you are doing. I have met many women who is top of their game and really great, but sometime the confidence is lacking. Practice makes perfect. Push yourself to go outside your comfort zone - this is where you grow! Even in your personal life strive to learn new things and to constantly be better than you were last year.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">7. HAS NIGERIAN WOMEN’S PERCEPTION TOWARDS THEIR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CHANGED DURING THE LAST 7 YEARS? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Nigerian women have always been very strong and independent! However, I think there is a new generation of Nigerian women entering the professional sphere carrying a confidence that I really love. Some of our fastest growing leaders right now are young women, this is of course very exciting to see. I am sure that Nigeria will continue to have strong female (and male) leaders growing long term in Oriflame Nigeria.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">1. TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF, AND HOW YOU JOINED ORIFLAME? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />My name is Bar Abiola Akande, I am a lawyer by profession, and an entrepreneur and a lifestyle coach by choice.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I joined Oriflame in 2014. A friend of mine came to my house with the catalogue and introduced it to me. At first, I wasn't interested in doing business with the company, as in the past I had joined several MLM companies and unfortunately lost my money.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, I only signed up with Oriflame to buy the products for personal use. Because I love to look great and the high quality of the products caught my attention.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But then I went to Oriflame's office for the first time. Nobody advised me to start a business, it was the success plan hanging in the office, that caught my eye. The fact that Oriflame is here in Nigeria, to help me fulfill my dreams of looking great, making money and having fun by traveling the world, made me say Yes immediately.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. WHAT ARE THE MAIN PRINCIPLES YOU WORK BY?</span></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Strategies: I plan my work very carefully and strategically. I set clear goals and build a plan for how to reach them.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Determination, focus and passion for success: I decided that I am destined for success. I give my best to Oriflame, because it can give me financial freedom and the lifestyle I always wanted.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Team: You can go alone, but if you go together you and your team can achieve way more.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">3. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO SUCCEED? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />I look out for people that are hungry and passionate for triumphs. I work closely with them and am always available to assist them 24/7. The success of my team members, is my success. I also organize seminars and trainings, and teach them soft and hard skills.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">4. WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS FOR THE FUTURE? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />I see myself as a Diamond President Director within the next five years - a successful Leader raising even more diamonds.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s party season! And to make sure you’re looking your most festive, we caught up with Oriflame Artistic Director Jonas Wramell to talk trends, party-proof application and morning-after makeup.</span></div>
</div>
</header><div class="content" itemprop="articleBody" style="clear: both; font-size: 14px; max-height: 1e+06px; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 25px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;"><img alt="" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2015/C16/Perfect%20Makeup%20With%20Jonas%20Wramell/byline.ashx?la=en-CC&h=197&w=170&u=0101010000" style="border: 0px; float: left; height: 197px; margin-right: 20px; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: middle; width: 170px;" />What should we consider when planning our makeup for a party?</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Well it depends what type of party you’re going to. A day party will require different makeup to a night out of course. My rule of thumb is this: more light less makeup, less light more makeup.<br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">How can we get the best results when getting ready for a night out?</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Apply your makeup in stages. Start by putting-on foundation and concealer, and then set your base with a dusting of powder over your forehead, chin, nose and cheeks. Allow time for your makeup to absorb and stabilise before applying other products – this is a good time to fix your hair or paint your nails. Now apply the rest of your makeup in this order: brows, eyes and lips.<br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">Any party makeup don’ts?</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Don’t overdo it! Great makeup is about balance. Either focus on strong brows and eye makeup, or a statement lip, but not both at once. You can reference the latest trends when it comes to colour, but don’t follow trends so closely that you look like a fashion-victim. Instead, try to find your most beautiful features and accentuate them, trust me this will look better than any beauty trend. </span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">What lipstick colours should we wear this party season? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />The “trendiest” colour right now is a dark burgundy, but if you don’t suit it, opt for a classic red lip – you can never go wrong.<br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">How can we make the graphic-eye trend more wearable? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Apply eyeliner as you normally would. Then, using a thin brush dipped in a dark eye shadow, layer over your eyeliner to create a smoky makeup look. This will be more wearable than “graphic” eyes, but still on-trend.<br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">How can we wear glitter without getting it all-over our faces? </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />First apply a creamy eye shadow (my favourite product) and dust a light layer of glitter over it. The cream base will help it stick. Glitter is generally quite hard to pull-off, so try a shimmer-based product instead.<br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">How can we avoid greasy-looking skin when dancing the night away?</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />You should never compromise on dancing and having fun, just to look good. If you worry about shine, pack some blotting papers into your handbag. Or, if you have problem skin, use a small powder brush (or a big eye shadow brush) to dust loose powder onto oil-prone areas. Don’t apply powder to your whole face though as this will clog pores and trigger oiliness.<br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">How can we fake a fresh face after a late night?</strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />First and foremost, always remove your makeup before you go to bed – your skin needs to breath during the night. Second rule: hydrate. Drink lots of water and moisturise to combat dull skin and a puffy face. If you’ve got bags under your eyes, try a hydrating gel. And, take a less-is-more approach to your makeup the day after a big party.</span></div>

<div style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s sales season and we’re all looking to make a bargain! But it’s so easy to end up with a bunch of stuff that you don’t need or use. So what should you consider when shopping the sales? Here’s a quick guide.</span></div>
</div>
</header><div class="content" itemprop="articleBody" style="clear: both; font-size: 14px; max-height: 1e+06px; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 25px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">KNOW WHAT YOU NEED </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Before buying anything new, give your makeup bag a clear-out. Throw away any broken or out-of-date products, and get rid of anything you haven’t worn in a long time. Then see what’s missing. Make a list of what you need and focus on getting those products. This will help you curb any impulse spending.</span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">FOCUS </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />It’s fun to experiment with new shades and products, particularly when a lower price removes some of the risk. But always ask yourself: “Will I actually use this?” If you’re doubtful, don’t shop it. It’s not a bargain if you never use it.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">ASK AN EXPERT </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Struggling to choose between two or three products? Ask your Oriflame Consultant for their advice. Their job is to be experts in all of the products available to you, and to understand your personal taste and needs.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Still unsure? Read an online review. Reviews are honest and impartial feedback left by other customers online. It’s a great way to check if the product’s right for you.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">UNDERSTAND VALUE </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Percentage discounts always grab the eye, but don’t forget about offers – sometimes these provide even better value for money.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="293" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2017/C01/How%20to%20shop%20sales/img1_africa.ashx?u=0101010000&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; height: auto !important; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: middle;" width="684" /></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">SET A BUDGET </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Decide how much money you are willing to spend in the sales and stick to that. It’s not worth getting a shock at the end of the month!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">KNOW WHEN TO SAY NO </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Some products never go into sale. If you’ve been lusting after a new skin care set, don’t splurge during the sales on something else. Instead, put that money aside and save up for the products you really want.</span></div>

<div style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Party season means late nights, and late nights mean tired-looking skin. At this time of the year, why not let your products take the night shift? Here’s how to have your most productive beauty sleep yet.</span></div>
</div>
</header><div class="content" itemprop="articleBody" style="clear: both; font-size: 14px; max-height: 1e+06px; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 25px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http:" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none; user-select: none;">OVERNIGHT MASKS</a><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Applied before bed and rinsed off in the morning, overnight masks moisturise your skin as you sleep. A mask will create a seal on top of your skin, helping the products underneath it to penetrate better. The result? Luminous and dewy skin in time for dawn. <br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><a href="http:" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none; user-select: none;">NIGHT CREAMS </a> <br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Night creams focus on moisture and recovery, rather than protection from aggressors like the sun and pollution. If you’re combatting the first signs of ageing then look for a product with glycolic acid, like True Perfection. Or smooth over wrinkles as you sleep with Ecollagen Wrinkle Correcting Night Cream.<br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><span style="font-size: 30px; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;"><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-align: center; text-size-adjust: none;">
<em style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">”To wake up with well-hydrated skin, cleanse your face to remove makeup and then press a serum into your skin.”</em></div>
</span></span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 30px; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;"></span><a href="http:" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none; user-select: none;">SERUMS</a> <br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />“Serums have a high concentration of active ingredients such as antioxidants, acids and vitamins,” explains Skin Care Expert Melina Galeadi. To wake up with well-hydrated skin cleanse your face to remove makeup and then press a serum into your skin. The light, watery texture absorbs quicker than a moisturiser and penetrates the deeper layers of skin while you rest.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http:" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none; user-select: none;">HAND CREAM </a><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />While you slumber, let your skin get to work. During the day you want a fast-absorbing hand cream, but at night pamper hands with a rich, nourishing texture. Look for products enriched with hydrating oils, like macadamia or almond oil that treat dryness. And why not indulge further with moisturising gloves? <br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" /><a href="http:" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: black; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none; user-select: none;">FOOT MASKS</a> <br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />There’s something decadent about a foot mask. After long nights in not-so sensible shoes, slipping into moisturising socks can be heavenly – especially when warmed slightly beforehand! Coat your feet in a foot mask that contains Shea butter or beeswax for ultra-smooth results.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let’s be honest. We all secretly agree that Women’s day should be celebrated every day! But on this special day, pampering and spoiling that special woman in your heart is a must.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">

</header><div class="content" itemprop="articleBody">
<img alt="" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2014/C13/Lipstick%20lip%20gloss%20or%20pencils/Image_in_text_1.ashx?la=en-CC&h=441&w=354&u=0101010000" style="float: right; height: 441px; margin-left: 20px; width: 354px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you ever wondered how to get that perfect pout, or are you simply curious which products that will work wonders for your unique lip shape? We decided to get the expert’s best tips for lips for every style. We met with Oriflame Global Artistic Beauty Director Jonas Wramell to catch up on his best tricks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>What should you consider when choosing lipstick? </b>– If you’re young you can try a fairly light pigmentation: light pink, beige, nude, soft pink, vintage rose. You can add some glitter as well if you like, a little shine. I think the older you get, the more you can move towards a more moisturised texture, moving on to a matte lipstick if you wish. Also I think that the more pigment you want, the more matte your shade of lipstick should be. So if you go for a ‘rouge noir’, you want it to be matte because that colour looks better than a similar one with a high shine.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>What is the difference between liquid lipstick and lip gloss?</b>–A lip gloss always gives shine to your lips. That’s the whole point of gloss. A liquid lipstick gives your lips pigment but not always shine. It can just create a beautiful moisturising feel. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><img alt="" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2014/C13/Lipstick%20lip%20gloss%20or%20pencils/Image_In_text2.ashx?la=en-CC&h=262&w=213&u=0101010000" style="float: left; height: 262px; margin-right: 20px; width: 213px;" />What is a hybrid product?</b>– A hybrid is a mix of lip gloss, lipstick and lip taint – all in one.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>When do you recommend using a lip liner?</b>– You can use a lip liner when you want to add a little shape. It’s also great for correcting as most often, we have a slightly crooked upper lip, or the contour fades out with age, or there’s a drop in pigmentation, then I recommend using a lip liner. You can also use it if you want a very bold, long-lasting effect. Sometimes I use a little liner, blurring the line a little with my finger –without adding anything on top.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The classic up and out-technique seems to be a universal way of applying mascara, but it’s far from the only option. So, to broaden your horizons we’re sharing 6 new ways to get great looking eyes!</span></div>
</div>
</header><div class="content" itemprop="articleBody" style="clear: both; font-size: 14px; max-height: 1e+06px; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 25px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">1. WIGGLE THE BRUSH </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Love a curl that lasts? Then applying mascara evenly throughout the length of your lashes is a big no-no! Instead, you should apply a thicker coat at the roots, by wiggling the brush back and forth, and then gently comb the mascara towards the tips.</span></div>
<span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; height: auto !important; text-size-adjust: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="409" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2016/C16/6%20Expert%20Ways%20to%20Use%20Your%20Mascara/img1.ashx?u=1610071050&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; height: auto !important; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: middle;" width="684" /></span></span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">2. APPLY MASCARA VERTICALLY </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />After a more natural look? It’s easy! All you need to do is to flip the mascara wand and apply the product vertically. Use the tip of the brush and run it along the length of your lashes. Voilà – longer, more natural-looking lashes at an instant!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">3. FOCUS ON THE MIDDLE </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Who doesn’t want big, round eyes? We know we do! So how is it achieved? Start by mentally dividing your eye into three parts. Then apply mascara to the middle part only, using the tip of the brush in a wiggling upward motion. You’ll see results straight away!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">4. APPLY MASCARA DIAGONALLY </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Another way to make your eyes look bigger is to apply mascara diagonally. The key to this technique is to pull the brush at an angle, instead of running it from the roots and upwards. Then finish off the look by giving your outer corners some extra attention.</span></div>
<span style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: initial; height: auto !important; text-size-adjust: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="" height="337" src="https://media-afr.oriflame.com/-/media/Images/Editorials/2016/C16/6%20Expert%20Ways%20to%20Use%20Your%20Mascara/img2.ashx?u=1610071050&la=en-NG" style="border: 0px; height: auto !important; max-height: 1e+06px; max-width: 100%; text-size-adjust: none; vertical-align: middle;" width="684" /></span></span><div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">5. PINCH EYELASHES TOGETHER </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Doll-eyes is another highly sought-after look that’s not very hard to achieve. Also called spider lashes, this look features super-thick lashes pinched together into points. Get it by applying lots of mascara and then use tweezers to press a few lashes together.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">6. BEND THE TIP OF THE WAND </strong><br style="max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;" />Find it hard to access the inner corners of your eyes? Then this trick is for you! Gently bend the tip of the wand (where the brush is) in a 90° angle from the handle, and the wand will be much easier to control. However, once it’s bent you might not be able to straighten it out again, so keep that in mind before trying!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-height: 1e+06px; text-size-adjust: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
