How To Create The Perfect Cupid’s Bow

Step 1: Make an X. Start at the highest point of your natural lip and draw a straight line extending down from that point. Repeat on the other side of your top lip to make the X.
Step 2: Define the bottom lip. You’ll find the exact center of your bottom lip directly below the center of the X you just created. Make the next line across that point.
Step 3: Make two V’s. Part your lips slightly, and draw a sideways V connecting the top and bottom lips at both corners of your mouth.
Step 4: Connect the lines. Use short strokes of the pencil to connect the lines. For the cleanest application, angle the pencil. Hold the pencil vertically, flat against the lip, with the tip of the liner pointing outward.
Step 5: Fill in the lips. Top off your perfect cupid’s bow with a swipe of lipstick or a dab of lip gloss and fall in love with your shapely lips.

Below is the full text to “Darkness Eludes Me”

 

Darkness Eludes me, no one beneath me, beseech me that they believe in me. In you I find strength, in you my weakness lays abundantly flamboyant.Tears like a the wind beneath the ocean breeze, tar pits feel like a dream, while the clouds look so mean. Polar opposites of a dream. Not destined to be a… part of me.Darkness eludes me, I stand mighty before it, fresh and blessed living without fear. I challenge its monstrosity, it challenges my audacity

 You think you have guts, it says to me. I know I’m on top, I say to it, riding gallantly into history, those who despise me, who try to deprive me, right behind me, watching in awe, secretly they wish to applause, what destiny has caused, their words laced with envy, they wish they could remind me, of a past that is behind me.
Darkness Eludes me because I know my fears, stomped on my weakness, lifted my strength. Flaunted the good, made the bad a faded dream. My glory not to be demeaned.

If darkness thinks it has a place in my world, ill tell it that it was nothing but a wild dream. Misplaced in its mission, especially its vision, because I stand before it, as powerful as Aphrodite, riding gallantly into your History.

I AM CUTTING DOWN ON FRIENDS BECAUSE I HAVE TOO MANY OF THEM - BEVERLY

Background

I grew up in Surulere, Lagos.  But I grew up like a boy! I am the last child and only girl in the family.   I did not have toys and I did not know any Barbie story, all I knew was Voltron, a cartoon. I did not grow up with both parents.  My father is a very simple man and he is somebody who can accept your mistakes.  He does not spank his kids.  Meanwhile, my mother is very strict. I could not even play outside as a young child. I had to ride my bicycle inside the sitting room.  I attended Daughters of Divine Love Convent, Enugu State.  I thought I would be a reverend sister but I abandoned the vision when I dropped out in my fifth year. I finished my secondary education in a secular institution before moving to Babcock University.  I could not finish from Babcock because I had some personal issues. Again, I dropped and enrolled at the National Open University.

My convent experience

It affected me in a very spiritual way. In as much as I know worldly things, I still fear God and have faith in Him.  The reason why I wanted to become a nun was because I was raised in a Catholic home.  I just felt it was the best thing for me to do at that time. I used to see myself as a messenger of God.  Even though I did not become a nun, I still remain faithful to God. Part of my dreams is to establish a church and do a lot of charity work.

Me and Big Brother

I went there of my own freewill and spending time in the house has greatly influenced my lifestyle. I have changed in a lot of ways. I am cutting down on friends because I have too many of them— home and abroad.  Also, I have always been a very impatient person but staying in the Big Brother house has changed all that for me.  The experience taught me to tolerate people because a lot of them annoyed me in that house.  While I was there, I learnt that good things come to those who wait. It was difficult initially because I was always conscious of the cameras but I had to live with it.

My affair with Angelo

I fell in love with Angelo. I am a very open person and I do not like to hide my feelings.  The concept of the show was reality.  Since it did not require pretence or play acting, I just became true to myself. Concerning the issue of sex in the house, I have said it many times that there was no sex involved. The bathtub incident was just blown out of proportion by the media. If there was a camera inside the bath water, everyone would have clearly seen that Angelo had his boxers on.  But I guess since I was the naked one, it was easy to rush to conclusion. Time will tell if there is a future for the relationship.  Also, I believe relationships should be left in the hands of God.  He decides when and who you can move with from one stage to another. For now, I can only say I had fun while the stay in the house lasted and right now, I am still having fun. I am a young lady.  I have a lot going for me and so many things to be done.

Plans

Apart from continuing with my charity work, I will resume my video vixen role and feature in as many musical videos as possible. Also, I have plans to host talk shows and do some movies. But above all, I will continue to pursue my passion of dancing and modelling.

Style

I like simplicity in style. I am not a flirty dresser and the items that can never be missing in my wardrobe are bum shorts and tank tops. These are what I wear on a daily basis.

I’m Obsessed With Being Alone- Miley Cyrus Breaks Silence On Breakup

[EOnline] Miley Cyrus has been on a press tour for weeks, but it wasn’t until the Oct. 11 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she finally addressed her breakup with Liam Hemsworth. The Last Song costars announced the end of their engagement on Sept. 16, but the 20-year-old pop princess has managed to avoid questions about their split while promoting her fourth album, Bangerz.
“So the last time you were here [in November 2012], I threw you an engagement party,” host Ellen DeGeneres said in Friday’s show. Cyrus replied, “Do you want your money back?”
“I want my money back,” DeGeneres joked. “I sent you, like, [strippers]. You enjoyed it.”
The “Wrecking Ball” singer laughed and replied, “I should of kept one of those dudes’ numbers.” In all seriousness, Cyrus said it’s “not awkward” talking about her breakup “because I’m living it.”
“I think people spend more time actually thinking about it than I really do. I just believe when a chapter is done you have to close it and start that new one. That’s kind of where I am right now,” she explained. “I felt like I have so much to be thankful for at this time that my energy hasn’t really been focused on that.”

The Tennessee native continued, “I’ve been kind of impressed with people and how much they’ve actually shown more respect. I don’t really look up anything, so maybe they haven’t been showing respect, but from what I have seen, I felt like people have really focused on my music right now when I’ve needed them and have actually been really good about that. Because that’s the only thing I worried about—I didn’t want it to make me to sacrifice what I’ve been working for, for just the attention to be on that.”
Bangerz is a reflection of her relationship with Hemsworth, whom she began dating in 2009 and got engaged to in 2012. “I think it says that with starting with ‘Adore You’ and ending with ‘Someone Else,’” she said. “I feel like you can really find like this arch of, like, growth.”
Cyrus said she didn’t realize how personal the album was “until I really listened to it now that it’s done and I have like my physical copy and I put it in my car. I’m like, ‘This is really like telling a story.’ I think I knew more intuitively where my life was going then I actually thought I did at the time.”
The “We Can’t Stop” singer hasn’t been in contact with Hemsworth, 23, who is currently in Georgia filming The Hunger Games: Mockingjay with Jennifer Lawrence and Julianne Moore.
“You know, for me, I really haven’t gotten to see anyone right now. ‘Cause I’ve been so crazy busy, I’m just letting that chapter kind of close and just looking forward to that new one,” Cyrus explained. “I want to be really clear and determined with everything I’m doing in my life right now, and I have been. I keep saying I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and that’s not even a dig. That’s just me, because I really am genuinely happy finally with myself, which I think sometimes it takes you separating yourself from someone else to really be happy with who you are. I’ve never been able to just be alone, and I’m obsessed with being alone and like hearing my thoughts.”
Hemsworth, for his part, has yet to publicly comment on their broken engagement.

KENYE WEST POPPED THE QUESTION BUT KIM KARDASHIAN SAID...... (READ DETAILS)

(GLOBAL GRIND) — Kanye West wants to spend the rest of his life with his baby mother Kim Kardashian, but according to the latest rumors, she’s in no rush to make the commitment.
Kanye allegedly popped the question to the twice-married reality star. The New York Daily News reports:

“Kanye is obsessed with her,” a source close to Kim tells us. “He always has been. He has begged her to get married a few times, it’s Kim that’s saying ‘not yet.’”

Kim is under a lot of pressure from her mother Kris Jenner, who thinks that if Kimmy doesn’t say yes soon, it will look bad for the family and eventually be bad for the baby.
Speaking of Nori, we might be seeing a little bit more of her adorableness soon. As of now, we’ve only seen two pictures of North West  but as the baby gets bigger, we’re gonna get glimpses of Kim in full on mother mode!

“Kim is ok with just sharing pictures for now, but she is really anxious for people to see her interacting with her daughter,” a source says. “She loves Nori and knows the whole world will too, she just has to convince Kanye that nothing bad will happen if she’s in the public eye more often.”

The issue is that Yeezy has been on record saying Nori is not America’s baby, but with his tour coming up and mama and baby planning on joining ‘Ye on dates across the country, there’s no way Nori will stay hidden for long.
