Harmattan 101
The climate change is making some of us lazy and looking like refugees. Don't get me started with how dusty surfaces get and having to "compulsorily" dust them. The good part of it is that your clothes dry faster, the carpet dries faster with my current rate of unconsciously slipping liquids. Oshey!!!
I have lot of things to complain on. From the saloon woman's selfish interest which led to (fried)burnt hair to my hot cup of cocoa pouring on my phone. I am blaming my legs for fighting karate at night. My keypad got affected. Then the earliest morning test I had to write. I woke up, got ready and walked to school with hazy climate. Thank God the test didn't get messy and my skin was intact......(Hi5!!!)
The climate change has gotten so many girls complaining of rough/flaky skin at the end of the day. I have abandoned my lotion/creamy cream for now because the weather isn't favourable. I am a big fan of petroleum jelly for now!!! `°•.¸¸.•°` `°•.¸¸.•°` `°•.¸¸.•°``°``°•.¸¸.•°
Here are tips on keeping yourself super moist:
SMOOTH SKIN
•Halt on the creamy creams/lotions. Get a hold of original Shea butter. If not that, then use any ointments (baby/adult oil) or petroleum jelly. They prevent your skin from cracking and save you from any form of embarrassing flaky marks. Pay attention to your legs/feet. Vigorously "Grind" any choice of yours to avoid having white legs. Don't rub much to avoid having sticky skin.
SEXY LIPS
•Your lips should continue to look luminous. They only way you can do so is by applying lip gloss/balm or chap stick. Save yourself from moisturising your lips with saliva after some minutes just to keep them moist. I am loving my strawberry flavour chap-stick.
YUMMY HAIR
•My hair cream is shouting for help. This season motivates me to take proper care of my hair. I make sure I moisturise my hair daily. I swear by Olive Organic Hair Mayonnaise. It works effectively with a nice fragrance on your hair. Yummy!
GLITTERING WATER
•Avoid dehydration. Drink a lot of water. If possible, flavour the water with some fruits e.g Put in some thinly slices of lemon/lime in your drinking water. It will motivate you to drink more. Use any fruit of your choice.
*Applicable to guys too.
Kisses and a big fat hug***

Contentment
In life, the best advise to take up should be to be contented with what you come across. Be it the food you eat, clothes you wear, phone you use etc. Just remain contented.
The moment you are contented, you are happy. God cannot give you what you can not handle.
"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough"
Oprah Winfrey
"That same night, I wrote my first short story. It took me thirty minutes. It was a dark little tale about a man who found a magic cup and learned that if he wept into the cup, his tears turned into pearls. But even though he had always been poor, he was a happy man and rarely shed a tear. So he found ways to make himself sad so that his tears could make him rich. As the pearls piled up, so did his greed grow. The story ended with the man sitting on a mountain of pearls, knife in hand, weeping helplessly into the cup with his beloved wife's slain body in his arms."
Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner
Dis contentment leads to Greed, sorrow, selfishness and diseases.
Contentment is wealth!

October is over. Ouch! it started with Justin's birthday. My top models, Stainless and Xena, Karl, Rex..........even some prominent celebrities. Forgive me if your name is not here. I am writing right away!!!

The birthday songs specially sang to me can be better than Ice-prince's mixtape *covers face*
Adanma sang a song and I can't stop laughing.
Mo_gunx sang a soothing birthday song and I almost thought Usher was begging for a reconciliation *clears throat*
Kaltimi sang too and it was a down to earth lovely voice.

Breast Self Examination. (BSE).
Although October is coming to an end, I feel I have to apologise for been the last to post on Breast Cancer Awareness. I feel satisfied though because I got some people that wanted help on self examination and I graciously helped out. I feel bad for not posting on my blog. I am sorry to Ihsan because she took her time to draw a Breast Cancer pinky winky, I ended up been late. I am sorry!!!
You must have heard and/or read a lot of stories on cancer. Sad and touching! The struggles and pains. It is death in another package. Death in disguise.
Even though cancer affects the elderly (35-*) than the youths, it is never too late to learn how to go about BSE(Breast Self Examination) and never very late to help in creating awareness for a better tomorrow.
Cancer doesn't lead to death when detected at an early stage. It affects females than males and the most common which is breast cancer.
Below are the guidelines and a do it yourself or rather Breast Self Examination guideline in a snap.
Pain in your breast that isn't related to your
period?
A new lump, bump, or other change in your breast?
A red, hot, or swollen breast
fluid or bloody discharge from your nipple
a lump in your armpit or near your collarbone?
Breast Self Examination(BSE).
Hands on Hips
In the privacy of your bathroom, strip to the waist and stand before a mirror. You will need to see both breasts at the same time. Stand with your hands on your hips and check the appearance of your breasts. Look at size, shape, and contour. Note changes, if any, in the skin color or texture. Look at the nipples and areolas, to see how healthy they look.
Arms Over Your Head
Still standing in front of the mirror, raise your arms over your head and see if your breasts move in the same way, and note any differences. Look at size, shape, and drape, checking for symmetry. Pay attention to your nipples and areolas, to see if you have any dimples, bumps, or retraction (indentation). Look up toward your armpits and note if there is any swelling where your lymph nodes are (lower armpit area).
Stand and Stroke
Raise your left arm overhead, and use your right-hand fingers to apply gentle pressure to the left breast. Stroke from the top to the bottom of the breast, moving across from the inside of the breast all the way into your armpit area. You can also use a circular motion, being sure to cover the entire breast area. Take note of any changes in texture, color, or size. Switch sides and repeat. This is best done in the shower, as wet skin will have the least resistance to the friction of your fingers.
Check Your Nipples

Still facing the mirror, lower both arms. With the index and middle fingers of your right hand, gently squeeze the left nipple and pull forward. Does the nipple spring back into place? Does it pull back into the breast? Note whether or not any fluid leaks out. Reverse your hands and check the right nipple in the same way.
Recline and Stroke
This is best done in your bedroom, where you can lie down. Place a pillow on the bed so that you can lie with both your head and shoulders on the pillow. Lie down and put your left hand behind your head. Use your right hand to stroke the breast and underarm, as you did in step 4. Take note of any changes in texture, color, or size. Switch sides and repeat.
Mark your calendar to remind yourself to do your BSE regularly. Stay relaxed and breathe normally as you do your BSE. Becoming tense will produce some knots that you may mistake for something worrisome.
Report any changes or unusual pain to your doctor or nurse.

The Youths, 54 years and counting.
I am filled with so much joy that my mother "Nigeria" is alive. She isn't dead. She has gone through wars, conflicts, sorrow, happiness, joy, laughter and Woos. She is black and still beautiful. She is proud but not healthy. She is sick. The giant of Africa is sick!
Looking at my 54 year old mother, who has gone through a lot. Lost lots of children. Filled with memories, good and bad. She smiles sometimes and frown other times. It is incredible how times, good, bad and ugly hasn't broken her down. What surprises me most is how strong she is. She isn't helpless. She only needs support.
She needs support from the vast vital population of the economy. She needs support from the energetic and passionate people in the country. The youths.
The youths are neglected in Nigeria of today. They aren't considered citizens yet neither are they considered in plans to make the country better. Instead, they are used as weapons of negativity. The youths aren't encouraged, inspired, empowered positively enough. The negligence makes you wonder if our leaders passed the youthful stage or escaped it.
The core foundation of the youths, Education, is infected with a virus. Eating slowly and killing gently. The educational system is in shambles. How the strike is still taking place like an annual event is no longer surprising. The sector is not payed attention to with no surprise that it is one of the worst sector in the country. It is neglected which makes you think if our past leaders ever went through this system.
Yet, the youths are expected to meet up with expectations. With little/no attention we are given, much is expected from us.
Unemployment is drastically high. Even after the nightmare of the tertiary institution, the youths wander from distance to distance. Desperation and desires creeping like a disease. The most difficult stage of our lives, with our needs. The stage we are eager and filled with desire to achieve greatness. The youths get enticed with various weapons of destruction. An idle mind is a devils workshop.
When we complain of jobs, we are told to be entrepreneurs. How can we be entrepreneurs without capital/financial help from government? Banks loans aren't youths loans. How can we be entrepreneurs with insecurity? How can we be entrepreneurs with the high rise of corruption?
How?
Our leaders should remember they went through this stage called "Youth". If only they can be sincere and just, they will know that the youths of the giant of Africa are willing and able to bring positive change. The leaders of tomorrow are losing patience.
When they completely lose it, curbing it will be a case study. The best thing a country can do for it youths is educate and employ them.
We, the youths do not want to be manipulated. We are tired of been blamed of the unrest in the country. We are tired of injustice, corruption, segregation and unrest. We want Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress.
Together forever we will conquer because we can. Let the youths join hands and make Nigeria, our mother better.

The problem with blogging
The first blog I created, I had no time to write anything in it. I had topics but posting them was the problem. I postponed the posting date to an extent I had to not use the blog again. I felt I should have my first post on a ceremonial/festival day. It never worked that way. It never happened.
This is my second blog. I am so happy about it. I hope to do justice and be better than before. Lol!
I am although having difficulty as to sticking to just one thing.
Get up now and start your blog. Share your blogspot with me and I will definitely drop down comments.
Mwah!
