ACT LIKE A LADY THINK LIKE A MAN ~ Book review

Image
Yeyyy! This is my first book review. I love and read books, not because I had the chance of being a literature student, I was never one, but because I just want to 'know'. I've come across a lot of book (a lot of us have) but I will only be sharing my view on a few of them. I will select books I think will help people address their problems or help them deal with the world full of people with problems. I will also review books which everybody else thinks are useful or helpful.   I read the first book on my list after I saw the movie 'Act Like A Lady Think Like A Man', so you can guess the title of the book.  Act Like A Lady Think Like A Man addresses what men really think about love, relationship, intimacy and commitment from a Steve Harvey's view. Steve Harvey talked extensively on how 'men' think and he answered a lot of the common questions inspired by the many acts that seem to be confusing from men.    Of course, no man has a perfect view on ...

MEN IN YELLOW

Image
   Yellow used to be an uncommon colour but since 2013 up until now, it has been a celebrated colour in fashion for the ladies. For the men, yellow might not really seen as their colour because of what the color itself seem to depict...      Yellow is the color of sunshine. It's associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy. Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness, stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy. Bright, pure yellow is an attention getter, which is the reason taxicabs are painted this color. When overused, yellow may have a disturbing effect; it is known that babies cry more in yellow rooms. Yellow indicates honor and loyalty.  Use yellow to evoke pleasant, cheerful feelings. Yellow is very effective for attracting attention, so use it to highlight the most important elements of your design.    Hmmmm, a "real man" will wear any color that looks acceptable on him bec...

THE STORY OF AN ACNE SURVIVOR...

Image
         I have discovered that whatever happens on the inside reflects on the outside (of the body)... I decided to share the testimony of an unknown survivor of acne because his story has a lot on emotions and acne...   I remember when I had really bad acne that I would always get sad and depressed about my acne and get mad when I saw my skin in the mirror.   Every morning when I woke up I would look in the mirror and be mad that my acne wasn't getting better. Over the last few years i've researched and read A LOT! and learned that your emotions (sadness/happiness etc.) actually cause changes in your skin believe it or not. It's linked to stress, when you have negative emotions such as depression, anger or sadness it causes more stress on the body causing the organs and internal functions to not work as well and operate as efficiently as they normally do. When I learned this I believe it because I've had points in my life when I feel rea...

WHAT ARE YOUR FEARS??????

Image
     I've been wanting to do this for a while but my bad is that sometimes, I procrastinate. Now, straight to the question; 'What is/are your fear(s) ?'  I read sometimes ago that the meaning of the acronym F.E.A.R is False Evidence Appearing real.      You know, there are a lot of things one   can be afraid of, fear of growing old and less beautiful, fear of not being loved, fear of a bad marriage, fear of failure in life, especially career, fear of being alone and lonely, fear of not being heard, a whole lot and your fears might actually not be my fears.    Well, I discovered that most times, our fears actually originate from what our desires or what we aim to achieve or maintain. For example, a beauty queen might fear to grow old and less beautiful, a person who aims to be very successful might fear to fail or even be a mediocre... Often times, some of these fears are even inspired by real experiences which could have been really ...

SKIN PALAVA

Image
       It's been about six days in the coldest region of the coldest part of Nigeria (Mangu, Plateau State). The Plateau is cold, Mangu is really cold. And when you have to wake up as early as 4 a.m to have your bath, that is can be really discomforting, so, it is so typical to resort to using warm water. Let me also add that the more available water over here is the hard water.      I pleasured in the comfort of the warm water on my skin daily, forgetting the consequences of the warm hard water on my skin. Then, just two days ago, I felt and saw how dry and cracked my skin was, it was saddening. Not only that, my face was also affected as it not only got dry but also rough with pimples and few black heads.    I got worried for a while for the love of my skin, especially my face and then I remembered some of the consequences of the constant use of warm water and hard water on the skin which are: 1.  Dry skin is one of t...
