BREAKING, BROKEN & A HEART BREAK?

HOW TO DEAL WITH HEARTBREAKS?

#emotions

 

Hello everyone, this not a new topic in any way, but its really discussed in the angle i am going to take it.This is a question that sneaks into your mind when expectations are dashed. To be more explicit(too much grammar abi?), forgive me and allow me to rewind. Heartbreaks is not all about lovey dovey stuffs, crying into a pillow, it could be as a result of other things like visa denial, your favorite football team loses a easy match,  losing a business deal worth very good money e..t.c

How do you get over it?

I am not talking the movies concept of cuddling in bed and wearing your boxers, eating ice cream, cookies and watching sobbing movies. Nah! that's too expensive, a bucket of ice cream will cost you more than 5k (five thousand naira).  Not worth!, I reject diabetes and fat from your body. Try carrots. Lol!
I'm going to give some suggestions and please note that i am not insisting you do what i say but just sending my own views/ recommendations. Trust, i live in Nigeria and heartbreaks is a normal. Ask any citizen living here. If they don't curse the President, they would   the power company. So here goes:
  • Forgive: I don't who, what and why the break happened. Forgives is hard to do but necessary for you. let it go!                                         
  • Cry: force yourself to cry, let those salty tears out if you must. guys don't cry in public so i recommend bathroom tears. it might release the pressure in your cheat region.
  •  Sing or Listen to good music: I don't mean those sad he left me, my world is ruined, i want to kill myself tracks. No! don't go there. Try something fun, praise like, positive. I am a big fan of worship songs.
  •  Talk to someone: this can be therapeutic but you have to sure that person you are confiding in is not a 'Amebo' a.k.a gossip, or your matter will be on Channel news before you can snap your fingers.
  •   Pray: There is no one who has had the massive experience and knowledge on how disappointing man /woman can be. I personally recommend talking to God Almighty on how you feel and your fears.

 "Time heals all wounds"
Give yourself some time, get busy. go out and live your life with a view that God's got your back. Everything may happen for a reason, just thank God for your season.

All na experience/ testimony. Move on. Your heart is not glass, it will hurt but it will heal in time. have a beautiful month.

FRESH FACE AND CONFIDENT.

BEAUTY TALK!

Hi Ladies, its been a while i have been wanting to write up this piece. I went one Sunday to church and noticed almost all the ladies had the same look, same eye brows( all boxy and big) *shivers.
No originality, no fresh face confident lady in sight. I guessed, i missed a couple of Sundays being out of town and all.
The rate at which makeup is been used, its scary! You see someone early hours in the morning, and you don't recognize her from the night before, this also happens to us females not just guys.

Don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying you should be ugly but i feel the need for confidence on your inner beauty. If you ever wondered why a young girl of 18 years look like if she is in her late twenties. #sad.
Its called makeup not madeover to transform you to a fake looking diva e.g look at Nicky. All na show o!
Been "fresh face"; is just giving your facial skin chance to breathe and recover without any makeup possible just light white powder.
the stages of makeup differs from how well versed in the technique a lady knows for that "wow" look. Some its just 3-4 steps while others its  almost 10 steps. Trust me, its like a artist transformation.
I might be harsh but have you notice these ladies that do a lot of chemicals or powder on their skin have break out i.e acne and their face *ages dramatically. OK! I'll say it: they look extremely ugly!
Hey! i do make up o but i have a routine treatment from facial washes, to remove dead  skin, peel off using oranges. I have very oily skin but using mild soaps work well and once in a while i go for facials treatments. Honey with coconut oil helps too. I would never use cream on my face because of my skin type is not a fan to it. No sponges, just facials massages and wash using your hands only.

SO ladies been fresh face is not a Church thing, our ancestors did  it o, once in a while try to be you, do you and step out with that inner confidence and not the outer assistance. *wink!

Have fun !!!!!!!xoxo

Oops! You think, you are enjoying yourself. Get real!

HEALTHY YOU

#Danielsdiet 

I guess, you would be wondering what that headline is about. Well! i was out visiting a good friend and we were chatting about her official leave coming up and plans for traveling, when she got a ping on blackberry from a colleague at work who was already on vacation and i think she wrote:
"I am enjoying myself and eating like a big girl everyday"
She then sent a  a picture of her food.Check this out:

This had a lot of cholesterol, which is not easily burnt of with exercise.



 she even adds fried sausages to this basic meal. But lets be truthful the average Nigerian is so brainwashed that we are killing ourselves with a lot of quick junk. Don't get me wrong, i am not claiming to be a saint because I am as guilty as everyone else. I had to renew my mind on the definition of enjoyment and a healthy me. 
Below picture is the every day quick fix meal for most spinsters or bachelors in Lagos with a chilled bottle of Coke.
I dare you to deny this food! in pidgin "Bros, even you don chop am!"

If you have any argument read the end of this article first, Abeg!  then send  your comments. I believe that to eat "amala and ewedor" everyday is a lot healthier. This meal  in the above picture should be once in a week thing.
 
Healthy breakfast. Very affordable and not too time consuming.

My dream romantic breakfast.



if you can recall the first "healthy you" article i wrote on  19 of April, 2015. I had a rude awaking that i was an addicted junkie.In this, i mean, i couldn't easily make the right food /nutritional decision/choices everyday. This is not just me but almost every other Lagosian or Nigerian for that matter.
Challenge is for a week:
*
You need to drink on a daily basis: 2 litres of water minimum
* Take fruits twice a day
* Eat freshly made salad at least twice a week
* No Coke, 7Up or Beer (no carbonated drinks nor wine, spirits)
*No cakes , fried plantain (Dodo)nor akara
* Take fermented Drinks at least once; Yorgurt, Ogi, Kunu
*Your budget is N3500( that is in naira) for a week only.
Then take a picture of yourself before and after a week of this diet. Lets us have your comments or observations. We need to know or i need to know, if it was really a challenge or easy breezy!
