If you’re guzzling red wine and black tea, or smoking cigarettes or cigars, expect your partner to frown. You may have suddenly going out for those hot dates without reason but he or she is ashamed of your stained/dirty teeth. The Pepper dentist, Dr Richard Kabanda guides you through how you can kick this problem.

Brush it
Culprits to blame for discolored or dirty teeth include colas, gravies, and dark juices. If it’s dark before you put it in your mouth, it will probably stain your teeth. Brush immediately after eating or drinking foods that stain teeth and use a good bleaching agent, either over-the-counter or in the dentist’s office. For convenient teeth-cleaning action, eat an apple.

Chuck your toothbrush
This should be at least every two to three months. Otherwise, you’re just transferring bacteria to your mouth. According to Kabanda, the best way to brush is by placing your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle against your gums and gently moving it in a circular motion, rather than a back-and-forth motion.

Clean your tongue
Carefully brush your tongue every morning to remove plaque and freshen your breath. One major cause of bad breath is the buildup of bacteria on the tongue. “Using a tongue scraper is more effective than a toothbrush on your tongue,” says Dr Kabanda.

Eat ‘detergent’ foods
Such foods are firm or crisp help clean teeth as they’re eaten. Apples, otherwise known as nature’s toothbrush, raw carrots, and popcorn qualify for clean teeth. For best results, make these foods the final food in your meal especially if you know you won’t be able to brush your teeth right after eating.

Gargle
Do it with apple cider vinegar in the morning and then brush as usual. The vinegar helps help remove stains, whiten teeth, and kill bacteria in your mouth and gums.

Brush with baking soda once a week
To remove stains and whiten your teeth use it just as you would toothpaste. You can also use salt as an alternative. Be sure to spit it out so it doesn’t count as sodium intake! Also, if your gums start to feel raw, switch to brushing with salt every other day.

Stay fresh
To check the freshness of your breath, lick your palm and smell it while it’s still wet. If you smell something, it’s time for a sugar-free breath mint. Shop for alcohol-free mouthwash. Mouthwashes that have too much alcohol can dry out the tissues in your mouth, making them more susceptible to bacteria.

Floss with eyes shut
If you can floss without having to guide your work with a mirror, you can do it in your car, at your desk, in bed, and before important dates. Buy several packs of floss and scatter them in such different places.

Bottom line; have all plaque cleaned off the teeth before sleep and brush first thing in the morning to brush off plaque and bacteria that may have built up as you slept.

 

After been put for possible eviction only once since the show commenced on May 1  the former Zambian housemate Mumba Mwaka  has been evicted. Last week, Mumba joined Malawi’s Lomwe Namali, Vina Longpet (Nigeria), Bernadina Buys (Namibia) and Botswana’s Zeus Bantsi for possible eviction and if she had survived today's'  eviction on Sunday, Zambian housemates would have likely been part of the final list for next month’s finale, the possible two winners of the 200,000 dollars each.

LSK is a city where anything ‘party’ goes. As such, people in the entertainment business are always hatching up theme nights to give partiers an excuse to go out. The latest craze is the monthly Nurses and Doctors Nite . The gals go for the kill when they select the costumes to wear: the raunchier, the better. Looking at them makes you want to break into Simply Red’s song Night Nurse: “Night Nurse, only you alone can quench this here thirst… My Night nurse, Oh the pain is getting worse” They are not only hot, but they make you feel like they are your only remedy.CLICK HERE TO VIEW FULL PICTURES IN HIGH QUALITY

[gallery]It is official. Nigerians have at long last joined the race to turn our beloved African movies into porn. Like a little fire, it started in Ghana and now it has gotten to Lagos.

We extremely shocked at Nigeria’s sudden affiliation to the whole soft porn syndrome. Most Nigerians were insolent to the emerging Ghanaian soft porn movies. Little did we know they were going to take it to the next level. They are doing it the Naija style! Na wa oooo!

Who the heck directed and produced the below movie? If Nollywood joins the soft porn production galore, then that will be the end of African movies. God save us! [youtube xVtCNPYe4FY]

1.Plushy Posh

This type of friend always looks great, drives expensive cars, has the most expensive phones and dresses like they own Louis Vuitton. He/she always makes you feel more inferior than you should be. Mike Posner knew exactly what I’m talking about when he sang “cooler than me”Hanging around such people brings down your self- esteem cause you just can’t get to their level ,beside no one looks great in Green. Envy really is a sin.

2. Negative Nate

This is the type of person that ALWAYS has bad things to say about people and situations “Hey Dude, I got an N8 today” “Well I hear the I-Phone’s better”.As a rule of thumb it would be great if you could stay away from all kinds of negative people. The energy they create is contagious.

3. Needy Freddy

This person is always a friend in need, never a friend indeed. If he phones you, he probably needs a phone number of someone else (He didn’t just call to ask how your uncle is coping in hospital). This friend will only Facebook you when they need a favor of some sort. We all know the type of friend that somehow always ONLY talks to you when they need to borrow some money. Others are ever talking to you about their relationship or family problems but never actually listen to yours;when the time comes when you need them, even for something as small as a handkerchief; They don’t have and they are never there for you. Such people are users. CUT THEM OFF!

4. Envious Emily

She wants everything that you’ve got or “balya ba neighbor” who shows up with a Toyota Harrier just a week after you bought yours. He paints his wall fence green because you recently painted yours. Remember, if they are envious of you,they COULD KILL YOU.

5. Hated Herald

Make no mistake, Newton was right when he said every action has an equal and opposite reaction. If you hate someone, don’t pretend to be his friend. If you hate him, he probably hates you to. Deuces. Stop the fake smiles already.

It seems the number of gays is rapidly and openly rising in Zambia, this is one of the photos a girl uploaded on her facebook profile. without any shame.

Even though musician C.R.I.$.I.$ (real name Chisenga Katongo) and  his wife Crystin Stephens have been married for a while now, word in the grapevine is that she refuses to  take up his last name of Katongo. The couple who recently became proud parents to the cutest and hottest Zambian celeb baby are said to be so in-love with each other all over again BUT that has not convinced wifey Crystin to be a Katongo yet. We hear Crystin wants to make sure ‘some things’  are well in order before abandoning her name and becoming Crystin Katongo.  Who can blame her?

Sunday June 19 is father’s day and kachepa360 wants to acknowledge all proud Zambian fathers, happy fathers day to you. We have also compiled some donts to guide you through the day.

This is not how a father should spend father's day

1. Don’t go drinking to celebrate - The problem with Zambians we think that going out and getting drunk cut rubbish is the only way to celebrate holidays.. Noooo. Do spend father’s day with people who matter, doing things that matter.. Don’t celebrate being a father with hos in the club who don’t even care about you while your girlfriend, baby mama or wifey is left calling you continuously to ask ‘nanga mubwela ntau bwanji?’ (but what time are you coming home?)





It's not your responsibility to buy these mothers drinks tonight

2. Don’t buy a round for all mother’s in the club – First of all, you shouldn’t even be in the club on father’s day but we know that some of you are addicted to being kuma dizzy so we just want to emphasize that don’t spend on the women today, women are supposed to spend on you. Fathers day is not mothers day. Some of you like to over do aniwone aniwone aka ‘A Chamu‘ when you have a few extra kwachas to spend.. “Hey iwe barman, get a round for the ladies on table 1, table 3, table 6, table 7 and table 10!” Typical Zambian man. One guy furnishing 5 different tables of women in one bar, in one night! Dummy, save your money for you family!! Father’s day is a day for women or atleast your one woman to pamper you, not the other way round.





It's fathers day. Daddy what time are you coming home?

3. Don’t spend it with your side chick - We know you like to spend Sundays at your side chick’s home or going for a drink with your side chick because you feel trapped at home with your nagging woman and noisy kids; but today is not the day for your irresponsible antics. Put your side chick on the bench for today and spend it with your #1 woman or the mother or your children (if you’re still together). You never know what the #1 has planned for you (*if you know what we mean*). So happily stick around home and see what happens.. It could be a memorable night *wink wink*.





Don't be calling all this gang to your father's day

4. Don’t have a braii with your boys - Father’s day is not your party. It’s not for you to call up Joseph, Peter, Mwila, Jk, C.R.I.$.I.$, John, Dandy krazy, General Kanene and have a huge pwando. Talking about, “Hey imwe guys bwelani kuno kuma dizzy.” No. It’s a day to spend with your immediate family like wife and kids or baby mama and kids.



Even if your dad's a disgrace, he's still your father.. So call him up and say "Happy Fathers Day Dad."

5. Don’t forget your father figures – Father’s day is a day to also acknowledge the man that looked after you when you were young, the man you looked up to when you were young or even the man that has shaped your life into what it is today. It could even be a father from the neighborhood that has greatly influenced your life. We know it’s English manners that you are too embarrassed to express as a Zambian but you need to call your father or father figure and wish them a happy father’s day.

6. Don’t ignore your children - Father’s day is not the day for you to just quickly pass by your baby mama’s house, drop off some food and say a quick hello to your son or daughter. You need to spend some quality time with your children. Get to know your children and all the simple things about them; what they like, where their birth mark is located, what they don’t like, what makes them laugh, what makes them cry, what they wish for etc. Not just, “hi kids. Daddy is busy okay?”

7. Don’t get arrested for beating your woman - Father’s day is not a day for woman or wife battering. Be tolerant towards your woman today for once. Avoid pulling a General Kanene at all costs.
