Your pets are your best friends and your constant companions. While they are a loving addition to your home, pets are not very easy to manage.
Your pets will require time, money, and love in addition to the specific needs of each animal and breed.
Before you get a pet, you need to be sure you want it not just that day but in the long-run.
So below are some tips you can follow to take care of your pets and get all the love back from them:
Proper Nutrition
A good diet is a priority for all kinds of pet. Even if you love your pets so much, if you’re not feeding them properly, then there’s something missing out in your affection for them.
Making sure your pet’s diet is proper and the kind of food given to them contains all the nutrients and minerals they need to keep them healthy and playful all the time, is the right way to go.
Take Your Pet for a Walk
Pets need to get out of the house so you can train them.
It is the best way to make them listen to you and understand that they have one and only one owner.
Your pets will also learn how to listen to others and know how to behave and what to do if you train them well for it.
Even pets want to break the monotony, so let them free outside.
Vaccinations
Your pets need these injections. It is very important to have your pet get admitted to the hospital for infections and allergies. Pets have allergies too.
Clean environment
A clean environment is very important because your pets live where you do. They can only be free of germs if the environment is clean and hygienic.
Pets are really prone to getting infections if their environment isn’t neat and tidy.
Also, make sure that whatever you use to clean your house isn’t harmful to you and your pet. This is because they’re going to be trained enough not to climb on sofas and beds.
Visit the Vet
Visiting the vet is necessary because you have to check and keep into account how your pet is growing up and how well it’s adapting to its surroundings.
Ensure that you have a clear account of what your pet eats and how it reacts to it, what it’s allergic to etc.
Visiting the vet once a month is beneficial for your pet.

While you’re looking forward to watching the best movies of 2017, why not try to re-watch the movies you enjoyed years back when you were still a teenager or a kid?
It is time to re-watch these 3 selected Classical movies that you watched years ago. You can even get your children watch them too.
The Sound of Music (1965)
Everybody loves this movie, both young and old.
The sounds of music is a tuneful, heartwarming story, based on the real-life story of the Von Trapp Family singers, one of the world’s best-known concert groups in the era immediately preceding World War II.
Maria (Julie Andrews), a tomboyish postulant at an Austrian abbey becomes a governess in the home of a widowed naval captain with seven children and brings a new love of life and music into the home.
Titanic (1997)
The story begins in the present, at the site of the ship’s (Titanic) watery grave, two-and-a-half miles under the ocean surface.
An ambitious fortune hunter (Bill Paxton) is determined to plumb the treasures of this once-stately ship, only to bring to the surface a story left untold.
The tragic ruins fade away revealing the glittering palace that was Titanic as it prepares to launch on its maiden voyage from England.
Among the thousands of well-wishers bidding a fond bon voyage, two young souls, nurture a passion that would change their lives forever.
Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) is a 17-year-old, upper-class American suffocating under the rigid confines and expectations of Edwardian society who falls in love with a free-spirited young steerage passenger named Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio).
Once Jack opens her eyes to the world beyond her gilded cage, Rose and Jack’s forbidden love begins a powerful mystery that ultimately echoes across the years into the present. Nothing on earth is going to come between them — not even something as unimaginable as the sinking of Titanic.
Romeo and Juliet (1996)
Romeo and Juliet is an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s story written early in his career.
The classic story of Romeo and Juliet is set in a modern-day city of Verona Beach.
The Montagues and Capulets are two rival families, whose children meet and fall in love.
They have to keep their love from the world because they know that their parents will not allow them to be together.
There are obstacles on the way, like Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, and Romeo’s friend Mercutio, and many fights. Although the movie is set in modern times, it is still the same timeless story of the “star-crossed lovers”.

2017 is going to be our year, don’t just say amen. Let’s actually work towards it. Poultry farming was all the rage in 2015 but I can tell you from an insider’s perspective that the profit in that business dropped due to the exchange rate, the price of feed, labour etc. Don’t lose faith in the agricultural sector; there are many more options to consider and I suggest piggery.
There is an increasing demand for pork in Nigeria. Demand for pork in and around the southwest is quite high. In addition, many supermarkets are also selling more pork meat. If you check the stock they have, there are a lot of local brands.
Piggery is one of the most promising enterprises in the Nigerian livestock sector. This is because it requires little space and relatively small initial capital per unit head compared to other livestock enterprises. You do not have to wait till you own your farm to do this; you can lease a pen or a small space in a neighbourhood farm.
With pig production on a large scale, there are several options to market the products;
• Selling piglets at two months old to other farmers either for breeding or fattening.
• Selling young pigs usually at the age of six months for pork.
• Selling adult pigs for bacon
• Selling cull pigs after useful productive life.
The price of a piglet depends on the breed, you can buy for as little as N15,000 and as high as N50,000. The more expensive breed usually grows up to an enormous size in a relatively shorter period of time (an average of four months). To really cash in, I suggest you wait till full maturity before selling for bacon. You can purchase piglets from recognized farms. There is the misconception that pigs feed on trash but if you want your pigs to grow fast and healthy, you must purchase good feed and have a registered veterinary doctor on hand. It will not hurt to carry out more research and seek advice from those currently in the business.
Cheers to new ventures this year.

After watching Season four episode six last night, I realised I had not told you guys about this series. A friend of mine introduced me to Skinny Girl in Transit a few months ago and I became addicted. At first, I was telling her I had no data to be watching series online but she confided in me she watches during downtime at the office. If you know any lady that concentrates so hard on her screen at lunch times and smiles from time to time, I implore you to investigate.
The series is about Tiwa who is trying to lose weight like many of us. She is getting close to thirty at the start of the series with no serious relationship prospect living at home with her parents and her beautiful slim sister. Tiwa is a regular, down-to-earth girl like most of us are which makes her lovable to many of us who watch. She has a job as a radio show talk host. Ngozi Nwosu who plays her mother, in my opinion, is the most valuable player in this show. She is so relatable and plays the stereotypical Yoruba mother to a perfect T. Her beautiful sister is played by newcomer Sharon Ooja.
The cinematography and screenplay are exceptional yet there is nothing of the usual fake accents associated with quality work here in Nigeria. I love it. As the series progresses, hot male characters are introduced playing Tiwa’s love interests. All the guys who have been on the show till date have been swoon-worthy. You will laugh with this lovable family, share some of their struggles and pain. This is a modern day Nigerian story very well told. You can watch Skinny Girl in Transit on Ndani Tv or on YouTube.
Thank me later.

1.   Base
A base is a must when applying makeup. You could opt for foundation for a high coverage or BB crème for subtle coverage. After cleansing and moisturising your face, apply your base with your fingers or brush and blend well.
If you are having any trouble picking your perfect shade of foundation, you should read our article on (choosing the right foundation).
2.   Face powder
You need a face powder to set your foundation and also to reduce shine.
3.   Mascara
I once read somewhere that a woman should never step out of the house without mascara and lip gloss. I totally agree!
4.   Tinted lip balm
Nobody likes dry lips, so you need a lip balm to soften chapped lips. Why not kill two birds with one stone by purchasing a tinted lip balm? This way you are moisturising your lips and also adding a little colour.
5.   Basic Eyeshadow

It is a good idea to invest in a perfect everyday eyeshadow. The ideal shade should be a few shades darker than your skin tone.
Use a soft eye shadow brush to sweep the shade onto your eyelids and blend into and above your crease.
6.   Good brush set
The right brush can perform miracles so invest in a good brush set. Ensure to clean your brushes as often as possible. (How to Keep Makeup Brushes Clean)
7.   Brow filler
The eyebrows (How to draw the perfect eyebrows) frame the face and there is no better way to make them neat other than taming them. The product to get depends on your preference; you could use a pencil, a brow gel or pomade, or a brow powder.
8.   Makeup remover
You definitely need this as you need to clean your makeup off before going to bed.
