Millen Magese Speaks On Living with Endometriosis and Retrieving Her Eggs Against Infertility

Millen Magese lives with endometriosis and she is no more afraid to say it out loud. Diagnosed 10 years ago, the 34-year-old Tanzanian model finally went public with her condition last March on the World Endometriosis Month.

She tells Radiant Health in their latest edition about living with endometriosis, being silenced by the taboo and stigma that comes with difficult health challenges, and finally finding her voice with the example of actress Rita Dominic.

Millen has had several miscarriages, had her ovary pack up, lost some of her fallopian tube, and in February, she faced her fears and underwent an IVF cycle so that some of her still surviving eggs could be retrieved and saved, a chance for her to have biological children in the future.

Though she knows the magnitude of speaking out about health conditions to do with sex or infertility, Millen Magese is adamant about the need to raise awareness, even if it is just to help one other woman.

Newly Married Jessica Simpson in Sexy Swimsuit, Takes Husband's Name

Jessica Simpson is now Jessica Johnson! That seems to be how newlywed Jessica Simpson, who got married July 5 to former NFL player Eric Johnson [see wedding pictures], wants to be addressed now.

She posted the above photo on Instagra today morning wit the caption, "Jessica Johnson" though her handle and profile still read "Jessica Simpson." 

From her toned figure in the pics, it's hard to believe that Jessica is a mom of two, her daughter Maxwell, 2, and son Ace, 12 months.

But Jessica had struggled with being overweight in the past. She had to join Weight Watchers for several years - taking time off to have her babies - before she came down to her goal weight.

Now she just looks so hot!

Dear Gail,
I look at newspaper pictures of new brides every Sunday. I’m searching. I want to see if there is now or ever will be another bride as lovely as you. Been doing that since June 27, 1953.

Actually, I already know the answer. There is not — and never will be to me – your equal in loveliness. On our wedding day you were the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. The delightful truth is that you still are.

When Does Garnishing a Meal Cross The Line? See This Nigerian Man's Food Presentation!

I regularly share pictures of my dinner or weekend brunches on Instagram and Facebook, and today, one of my male FB friends shared a picture of his dinner for last night, saying he had made it himself. He tagged me in the pic, saying I had inspired him to eat more fruits and vegetables. He captioned it;

All these women acting like if they dont cook i will starve. Well, i made me a balanced diet. Low fat.

Now, I am happy that Nigerian men are still cooking, and that I've inspired someone to make their food more healthy, but I want to think I present my plates better than this! Without the carrot and oranges to garnish the meal, the Indomie with dodo and fried eggs actually looks yummy.

On food garnishing or plate presentation, I don't usually do that when I'm just about to eat. But sometimes when we have guests and I'm dishing in a bigger serving dish, I might make more of an effort.

Giant African Snails From Nigeria Seized and Destroyed at Los Angeles Airport

Airport officials in LA have seized and destroyed a consignment of 67 live African snails sent from Nigeria to a resident in the US, saying the snails are poisonous and highly destructive.

The snail consignment arrived in the States from Nigeria on July 1st in a blue baskets pictured above.

When I heard the news on the radio here, I laughed and then I shook my head, sad at the poor snails and the Nigerian who will be crying because there will be no snail in their cooking pot this month.

I remember one time I travelled to Nigeria and was coming back with these two beautiful tubers of yam my MIL had painstakingly selected for me and it was seized and destroyed at customs. I cried for a whole year, and still tremble with the last vestiges of that pain till today. Don't blame me, I love yam.

Woman Accumulates Over £6,000 Debt Because She Wants To Look Like Kim Kardashian

A British woman named Claire Leeson has taken her obsession with Kim Kardashian so far that it’s caused her to go into debt. Leeson has had a boob job, teeth whitening, hair extensions, nails, spray tans and has purchased a ton of shoes, clothes and makeup.

And due to her lavish spending, Claire, who spends £4,500 on her hair extensions alone, has accumulated over £6,000 in serious debt.

But according to her, these drastic steps she has taken to appear more like the Kim, 33, are an attempt to gain self-confidence after being severely bullied in her childhood.

The 24-year-old during an interview with ThisMorning revealed she has spent almost £20,000 to look just like Kim Kardashian, splashing out on everything from boob jobs and bum padding to shoes and clothes.

In addition to speaking to the media, Claire Leeson has also been hyping herself on Twitter.
