After weeks of promoting her new fashion line with designer Fendi "FENDI Prints On", shooting videos, making appearances; it seems Nicki Minaj managed to fit 'getting hitched' 💍💒 into her busy schedule.
The highly successful Queens native rapper, with popular songs like "Moment for Life" & "Right Thru Me",😏Nicki announced the news on Monday via an Instagram video. The video showed matching printed “Mr. and Mrs.” mugs and black and white caps that read “Bride” and “Groom”.
Nicki and Kenneth Petty aka "Zoo", who is also in the music industry, have been dating a little over a year. Though it is said they had dated in their younger days, the relationship wasn't made public until November 2018 via her Instagram page.
Nicki raps in her song:
Nicki raps in her song:
“I met my husband when I was 17 out in Queens / If you love it, let it go, now I know what that means / While he was up North for a body / I bodied everybody and got known for my body,”
Mrs. Petty has been dropping major hints for months showing just how head-over-heels in love she is. 😻 Kenneth is her new favorite accessory. Where there is Nicki... there is Kenneth, he literally accompanies her everywhere, and to be honest this pattern reminds me a lot of her former relationships with Safaree and Meek Mill. Nicki seems to desire that male presence at her side no matter how many milestones she achieves.On Queen Radio this summer Nicki stated:
“I have to work on my album and I have a lot to focus on, that I don’t want to do the big wedding now”. “We’ll do the big wedding later.”
No doubt at 36, with no kids, on 'Forbes' list coined "World’s top-earning lady MC" with a Net Worth of $21+ Million; which is expected to increase this year since collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion and Fendi. She is at the peak of her life.
In my opinion Nicki realizes it's now or never! This could be true based on her announcement on September 16th via Twitter.
She has found someone that supports her job/schedules and is able to handle her large persona. A woman with her fortune I suspect dating must be extremely frustrating.

With Minaj, a Sagittarius and Kenneth, an Aries; it's going to be very interesting to watch. We have seen and heard of Zoo's aggressive nature, and being "hood" doesn't help either. They also share the 'jealously' trait and needing to be 'center of attention' but will need to find balance and understanding.
Hopefully; this won't be an issue for them. The good traits of 'love', 'commitment' and also with the 'business-minded' characteristic that each sign brings to this relationship; I'm sure they will grow to be a power couple and family oriented once she retires from the spotlight.

Essential Oils for Beginners: Flavors and Uses
What are essential oils?Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that retain the natural smell and flavor, or "essence," of their source.

The way the oils are made is important, as essential oils obtained through chemical processes are not considered true essential oils.

Use in a bath
Adding essential oils to your bath is an amazing way to take a relaxing time-out during your busy day. Buy a box of simple Epsom salts as the base for your essential oils. If you just drop the oils into the water, they will not dissolve as nicely as they do when first mixed into the salts, who then dissolve beautifully. Please don’t combine any other chemically produced soaps or products into this mix in an effort to fully enjoy all the benefits of the essential oil and Epsom salts alone.
Oils Skin Application
Olive Oil
Most commonly used in cooking, olive oil can also be used for cosmetics as carrier oil. Olive oil is packed with benefits including aiding occasional ear discomfort, joint pain, support of rheumatic conditions, or hair care applications.
Sunflower Seed Oil
Sunflower seed oil is a great source of vitamin E, rich in nutrients and antioxidants, and is effective for combatting skincare issues like acne, inflammation, general redness and irritation of the skin. In addition to vitamin E, sunflower oil is also rich in vitamins A, C, and D, making it effective in the treatment of acne. Sunflower seed oil contains vitamins and fatty acids that act as antioxidants to regenerate new skin cells and help your skin rid itself of acne-causing bacteria.
Shea Butter
Shea butter is a skin superfood that comes from the seeds of the fruit of the Shea (Karite) tree and that is naturally rich in vitamins A, E and F. It offers UV protection (it is SPF ~6) and provides the skin with essential fatty acids and the nutrients necessary for collagen production.
Reduces Inflammation: A 2010 study found that due to its cinnamic acid and other natural properties, shea butter was anti-inflammatory. One compound in particular, lupeol cinnamate, was found to reduce skin inflammation and even potentially help avoid skin mutations. This also makes it beneficial for some people with acne.
Moisturizing: The concentration of natural vitamins and fatty acids in shea butter makes it incredibly nourishing and moisturizing for skin. It is often used to remedy dry skin and to help protect the skin’s natural oils.
Skin Smoothing: Shea butter aids in the skin’s natural collagen production and contains oleic, stearic, palmitic, and linolenic acids that protect and nourish the skin to prevent drying. With long-term use, many people report skin softening and strengthening as well as wrinkle reduction.

Jojoba Oil

It is easily absorbed by the skin as jojoba oil mimics collagen, making it relaxing to the skin, especially for those who have hypersensitivity, eczema, psoriasis, acne or blackheads.

The hot topic "Basketball Wives LA" is still drawing huge backlash from the public; who expressed disappointment, shock and outrage how retired women’s football player Ogom "OG" Chijindu was deemed as "aggressive" called "ugly" and her overall treatment this Season (8).

Polls, social media comments, and many went as far as signing petitions to boycott the show and Evelyn Lozada. Blaming much of the behavior displayed this season on Shaunie O'neal, Executive Producer and Cast Member of the show. Hearing that 'OG' was fired from the show awoke a new level of disdain for Shaunie and Evelyn.
Both reality tv co-stars, and besties Shaunie and Evelyn have been accused of displaying "colorism" and "racism" against OG and past "dark-skinned" cast members. They claimed it is obvious they favored "lighter skinned" cast members.
Other casts who have sided with the two women; Kristin Scott, Malaysia Pargo and Feby Torres were all accused of being bullies, and called "Mean Girls".
During the Reunion OG sat in a room via television as she addressed "The Collective" as she calls her fellow cast members.
Shaunie responded in an interview which aired directly after Basketball Wives Reunion Part 2 on Wednesday saying:
