Happy New Month peeps!!How y'all doin? Hope good! It's been a pretty long minute but I guess we know how life gets in the way*wink* Anyways,in the course of my thoughts and few experiences over the last few days, the thought kept popping in my head.."Just keep moving!" It is about 30days to the end of 2016. We thank God for getting us this far. Many were alive,  hale and hearty this time last year,  even last week and are no more today. Sadly many of us have lost friends,  colleagues, neighbours, coworkers or even loved ones in the course of this year. I choose to say I am not just lucky but I am blessed and so are you..if you are reading this! Are you still wondering why I just said that? Ok lemme break it down some more..*smiles* Having realised we are coming to the year's end,some people might want to beat themselves up for not achieving what they resolved to do at the beginning or even middle of this year..but guess what? The fact that you can eve

Helloooo peeps!Hope you're doing ok! I'm sure you are wondering who the healer or analyst is?Hahahaha! Well...it's the title and function of the amazing Zodiac sign called Virgo!People who are born between Aug 23 and Sept 22 fall under this interesting sign! This is certainly not just about the Zodiac sign..Virgo. It's just a post I decided to write about while celebrating the Virgo season and the interesting qualities people under this sign possess...of cos the main reason being that I am Virgo and my birthday was September7th !  LOL! Even though you aren't a Virgo,you just might have a sibling, friend or colleague who is ..or infact your partner might be Virgo..so dont run off cos you might learn a thing or 2*wink* I know I have always had this issue of not feeling sleepy early enough at night and this dates back to my school days. I would always wanna run around doing stuff during the day and then settle down at night to read my books till morning!

Is there really a difference between one's personality and one's attitude?? Welll..to be honest I think there's quite a difference between the two. Thinking about it now...there are hot-tempered peeps who don't surprise you with their temper so when they blow up..at least it's something you already expect and you waive it off knowing that's how they are(their personality)!...But the quick-tempered peeps could be a little different because the outburst just comes from nowhere right in the middle of a discussion..leaving u shocked and speechless like a statue(their attitude)!!LOL!*smh* Funny enough,I think everyone's attitude could differ at anytime... but what makes the difference is what makes you upset..or suddenly angry ,how you express your anger/how often..and of course..to whom!(which is the reason why personality and attitude become confusing). More often than not,this confusion between personality and attitude happens in relationships or friend

Sitting on my bed on a lazy Saturday morning...am reminiscing and thinking to myself.....Hmmmm...Just like a few other aged sayings like "The Evil That Men Do Live After Them"...the saying used as my Post title seems not to have that weighty effect I grew up with! There was also a recent controversy concerning an advice given by a well-known preacher advising singles on marriage partners ,which would have been more agreeable with the singles populace back then because it was a norm for a wife-to-be to know how to cook, to be a complete package and for a husband-to-be to have a steady income stream, was definitely top of the list! But hmmm...with the change in millennium times evolving with a lot of woman empowerment,gender equality,bread-winner wives...etc...that kinda advice requiring a woman to be a good cook before a suitor can see her possessing wifey qualities ..cannot be given so much applause..in these times...If u ask me. Naaaa*smh**sighs* Wellll...anyways..I com

Helloooooo peeps! How's it been?Hope this post meets you in good health!*wink* And soooo...a few days ago,I got chatting with a friend who complained to me about his wife's silence recently,especially on issues or discussions that would have usually aroused her vocality! To my amusement,he felt relieved by her recent change of behaviour...as opposed to when they would have noisy arguments waking up the neighbours every other night!*sighs* Hmmmm...Well..as usual..I got inspired to write a post on this*smiles* It's quite interesting to see that when a couple are having an argument...a partner's silence is often mistaken for stupidity..naivety or lack of knowledge...even a subtle agreement to whatever the outcome of the situation is...and a whole lot more of misinterpretations!*smh* But guess what... More often than not...the partner is silent or slow to respond for other reasons that a lot of people dont realise or for some that do...they just choose to ign

Hello peeps!! And so in Nigeria today,(May 27th)..It is that time of the Year to mark the Children’s Day celebration. I can never get tired of repeating how children are not just unexplainable bundles of joy but a great blessing from God. In so many ways,messages are passed physically and spiritually through them..even in their innocence and that's what makes them magical! For those who can relate,the early stages of sharing moments with them..that's between New-borns and toddlers,could be quite tasking.. ..And as a parent,you sit asking yourself when you are gonna start enjoying the fruits of your labour! LOL! Wellll...trust me..u'd be amazed how time flies with kids growing up and before you realise..they are all grown up getting ready to leave your house and move on! *sighs* So why not enjoy those "tasking moments" smiling to yourself and say ..."This is just a phase". Welll..for those who can relate to the scenario of havin

Welcome to the amazing month of April!! And Ohh yeah...Happy April Fool's Day peeps!! So who's April gonna fool today?Hmmmm...anyways y'all should have fun fooling somebody today *wink* LOL! Singing along to Janet Jackson's song"Got till it's gone" ,a smile curves my lips as I ponder over those melodious, yet deep and meaningful lyrics! Truth be told..there are just some people out there who come into your life,never realise your value or worth until you take a walk or they walk away! Funny how it takes your absence for them to begin to realise the diamond you are..the sparkle that made their life meaningful at some point*sighs* It wouldn't make so much sense for you to start thinking and giving yourself an undeserved headache about it. The saying.."Because someone doesn't know your worth doesn't mean you should lose track of it!" comes to mind. At the point of their presence in your life,they somehow make you beli

It's gonna be a long weekend where this week ended on Thursday and next week begins on Tuesday*big smile* A very BIG thanks to the Easter celebration!! Going into meditation over the Lenten period which involved a lotta prayers and fasting for many,it really came at a good time. For those who fast alongside prayers,especially during the period of Lent,it works as a refreshing path to your spiritual life and even physical. I usually use this period for deep meditation on my life,achievements and yet-to-be attained goals. I know it starts with the New Year..resolutions and all but like I always say..it's one month at a time just like it's one day at a time, so you can't achieve ALL set goals in one day but just might achieve it the next day if you take time to pause,think through again,re-strategise  and pursue the goal(s) once again! I got a lotta peeps saying the fasting even helped them on their path to a healthy lifestyle or weight loss! Funny as

Hey peeps!!Hope you have had a good week so far*smiles* And soooo the weekend is almost here and for some of us who have indulged all week…this post comes as a good reminder! If you have being indulging in fatty foods and unhealthy diets, Detoxing can be a great way to get your health back on track! Whether you like it or not…We all need to detox our body from time to time especially when we forget all about portion control and proper dieting!*sighs* Although its sometimes easy to look for a quick fix to give you a health boost, but this isn't always the best way to get your body in tip top shape. The best way to rid your body of toxins by regular detox and allow your body naturally realign itself and get back on track. I will give a few tips on how to get a natural detox : -Take fruits like oranges, apples, even warm water mixed with some lemon..taken first thing in the morning, will help a whole lot in reducing toxin exposure and even weight loss! -Exerci

Too many questions running through my mind but this one tops the list! If you are like me..coming from an era where decades ago, communication was mostly done by phone calls,texts..even physical visits..then u'll understand why some of us didn't quite embrace it so quickly or with as much excitement as some others do!*sighs* Don't get me wrong...Actually years ago,I guess I was one of the few who jumped on signing up for facebook and twitter when they started and  I enjoyed the fact that it was a new way of catching up on old  friends and celebrities who I would never have had the opportunity to see or chat with in decades to come! But then..years after..some others came up like..Flickr,Snapchat etc and am wondering..hmmm?? Now this is the part that paused my steps a bit... I check them out and am like..so why exactly do I need to sign up for these new ones? What's so different about their features?I already have a facebook and twitter account so what&#

My darling mum,best friend&mentor sent this to me this morning and by the time I was done reading I knew there was no way I could keep this to myself!! Enjoy reading..and a big shout out to all the strong and beautiful women out there!!! This is also for men to read and know why women are so special*wink* Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mum said, "I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed." She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning. She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone b

Happy Lovers day peeps!!!..or would u prefer Happy Valentine's day!! Ok Wellll..take your pick!LOL! So it's finally here!! All the crazy queues at stores selling out red colored clothes,shoes,bags,hats and even handkerchiefs as gifts with increased prices on them like it was going outta fashion!!! Bad enough that there's normally mad traffic on Saturdays but then yesterday couldn't have been the usual "mad" traffic...thanks to all ye lovers!!! Rushing to buy gifts like y'all dint know all this while today was Val's day!*sticking my tongue out at you* Or wait a minute...maybe the majority of shoppers were even the ones who had a last minute change of mind?? Wondering whether to bother buying their loved one a gift...maybe even those who broke up during the week and made up yesterday??LOL!!! Gooosh..I just can't stop laughing at these crazy thoughts tho!! But you know you really have to excuse my thoughts cos it's a beaut

I know it's just few days away and some peeps are wondering where or how to get good deals to celebrate this season ,so I decided to share this here! In this beautiful season of love,Fashion Express is giving away products at CRAZY discounts under 1k so there's no excuse not to show love to loved ones!LOL! Check out BBM Channel C00439645 and thank me later! *wink* Hurry now while stock lasts!!

Whilst love fills the air,I will grab the opportunity once again to pen down my thoughts and share them in this wonderful season of love! Valentine's day which has been celebrated on the 14th(for as long as I know).. is in a coupla days! For those celebrating,I can hear all the Yaaaaaays...Yipeeeees..Can't wait..bla bla! Well for those who dont believe in Valentine's day or think it's a myth and will celebrate this Sunday like every other Sunday..Welllll it's all good*wink* Anyways in my moments of hidden excitement(I dunno why am excited when it's not my birthday)..it just struck me that a lotta couples will just do the same ol' thing which of cos could be getting a card...then rushing to any store to buy any red colored gift the attendant recommends *sighs* It really doesn't have to be that way all the time...no matter how busy you are! Think about it for a minute...it's gonna be a Sunday this year so that makes it quite different t

At some point in our lives,we have had squabbles with friends who we thought were mean..insensitive or even jealous just because of their honesty towards us. It's easy to be misconstrued when one is honest because a lotta times,we like to hear only what we wanna hear! Am quite guilty of this though*sighs* This post came to mind because I ran into a friend today at a shop and we were quite close years ago but the friendship changed after an eventful argument we had! I gave my opinion to something she wanted to know about and she misconstrued it as me being mean/jealous!*now that's funny thinking about it now* Anyways ..coming back to the post..so I just wanna quickly share this so you don't lose a friend out of fear of the truth or misjudgment! 1)If u want a true friend,be ready to embrace all tenets of friendship otherwise u will have a fake friendship expecting your friend to always be a sycophant or your puppet! 2)True friendship means telling the t

Happy New Month peeps!! Welcome to the month of Love!(I know every month is..but am just hinting something at couples*wink*) Yes we have come to the 2nd month of this beautiful year already! Pls allow me say once again.."How time flies!!" So how did you fare in January? Were you able to accomplish something outta your new year goals? Or even if not completed,were you able to even take a step towards it? Welll..Am not here to beat you up bout it..ok? But am definitely here as your reminder to get that ball rolling!*smiles* I am also taking each step as I possibly can towards achieving some set goals for the year..so not to worry...I am walking and holding your hand! This month is also kinda more exciting because of a certain celebration precisely on the 14th! Not everyone celebrates this though and infact for some of us,we don't wait for that day to celebrate love..but love any day we can..in any possible way we can too*wink* But don't get it twi

The Nigerian Ministry of Health has confirmed the outbreak of Lassa fever in some states of the country. With the outbreak of the fever, it is important to put in place preventive and control measures in homes/offices most especially since reported cases have been confirmed in the region. Lassa fever is caused by infection with the Lassa virus which is spread by rats that live in large numbers in West, Central and East Africa. They carry the virus in their urine and faeces and live in homes and areas where food is stored. The disease can be contracted by ingestion of foods and drinks contaminated by the saliva, urine and faeces of infected rats; catching and preparing infected rats as food, inhaling tiny particles in the air contaminated with infected rats’ urine or droppings, direct contact with a sick person’s blood or body fluids, through mucous membranes, like eyes, nose or mouth. Those at the highest risk include health workers, families and friends of an

I have heard someone say "If your dreams don't scare you...then it's not big enough!" Funny as it sounds… it's kinda true. That's obviously why it's a dream! You can't be dreaming the normal or usual things because those happen around you everyday. It's something different, something so unimaginable that it even scares you! But guess what? It takes you to make that dream reality someday..somehow! It might not be in the exact form of the dream...but at least bits and pieces of the dream could make up that reality you want it to be! At that point, you are a Dream maker but what do you do with the dream?? That's the big question! Do you make something out of it...or do you kill that dream? *sighs* Don’t let your dreams just be dreams! A winner is a dreamer who never gives up! Don’t let anyone ever make you think you don’t deserve what you want! Being a dreamer doesn’t actually mean walking around wi

Celebration of a birthday is actually sooo much more than just the cake..or the gifts! Thanks to yesterday's celebration,I had a good 30minutes of thinking through it all*smiles* A birthday is actually a privilege..it's a gift on its own!! To become a year older..in good health..ALIVE...is really a reminder that amongst all the terrible situations going on around you(bombings,viruses..etc)..even amidst all the news of people dying&all..U made it!! Yesss..you got to make another year! As far as am concerned,January 1st is A new year all right..but your birthday is YOUR new year!!

Don't know about you but anything that has to do with taking care of my skin,hair&body  definitely has my listening ear...so am gonna quickly share with you the few things I discovered that you might wanna know*wink* First off is the famous Olive oil! As some people already know,it's a powerful antioxidant but did you know you could consume it in an uncooked form and actually apply it on your skin to give even greater results? Well..I just discovered*smiles* Next one is Kiwi! Another powerful antioxidant that is packed with Vitamin C &it also prevents your skin from aging!
