The start of a new year always brings a wave of excitement, fresh goals, and promises to make better choices. If getting fit is on your list of New Year’s resolutions for 2025, congratulations on taking the first step toward a healthier you! But before you dive into gym memberships and workout routines, there are a few things you should know to set yourself up for success. 1. Start Slow and Stay Consistent It’s tempting to go all-in, especially when motivation is high. However, it’s better to start slow and focus on building consistency. Jumping into intense workouts too quickly can lead to burnout or injury. Begin with 2-3 gym sessions per week and gradually increase as your body adapts. Remember, consistency beats intensity in the long run.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by BellaNaija Beauty (@bellanaijabeauty) 2. Get Comfortable with Sweat (and What You Wear) Sweating is a natural and healthy part of working out, but if you’re self-conscious about sweat patches, opt for darker gym wear.

The idea of doing a big chop can be thrilling yet nerve-wracking. Cutting off most of your hair represents a fresh start, a bold statement, and, for many, a liberating moment. But let’s face it—the commitment can feel daunting. What if you’re not ready to go full-on big chop just yet? Enter the pixie cut: a chic, trendy, and less drastic option that’s perfect for testing the waters. Why a Pixie Cut is the Perfect First Step A pixie cut is essentially a middle ground between your current hairstyle and the big chop. It’s short enough to give you that transformative feeling, but still versatile enough to style in multiple ways.  Most importantly, it’s reversible. If you decide the super-short look isn’t for you, growing out a pixie cut is far less intimidating than starting over from a big chop. Plus, you can even leave your hair in and get a pixie wig or extensions.    View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Nneka Ibeabuchi. (@africanjawn) Before we head out, let’s talk about how flattering pixie cuts are. With their ability to highlight your facial structure—cheekbones, jawline, and all—pixie cuts are a great way to experiment with […] The post Considering a Big Chop?

Harmattan season is here, bringing with it dry, dusty winds and a significant drop in humidity. While the cool mornings and hazy skies are charming, the harsh weather can leave your skin dry, flaky, and irritated. But don’t worry—BellaNaija Style is here with a detailed guide to keeping your skin nourished, hydrated, and glowing all season long: 1. Stay Hydrated Inside and Out Harmattan air tends to sap moisture from the skin, leaving it parched. To combat this, drink plenty of water throughout the day. Herbal teas and fruits with high water content like watermelon and oranges, can also help keep you hydrated. For external hydration, consider using a humidifier at home or placing a bowl of water in your room to increase the air’s moisture level. 2. Upgrade Your Moisturizer Switch to thicker, oil-based moisturizers that provide a protective barrier against the dry air. Look for ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, glycerin, or hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate your skin. Apply immediately after a bath to lock in moisture, and don’t forget to reapply on particularly dry areas like your hands, elbows, and feet throughout the day. You can even wear socks and gloves overnight for added hydration. […] The post 5 Tips for Keeping Your Skin Healthy & Glowing During Harmattan appeared first on BN Style.
