Hello Mums... Welcome to another awesome Monday on the blog... We are in love with our expecting mums and so we would love to share some tips that would keep our mums  healthy throughout the waiting period.... Pregnancy is a 9 months journey and you sure want to keep healthy on this trip and even after wards. Having a baby is something most of us women-and even men look forward to. This period requires extra care of yourself as what you do or do not do will most times not affect just you but your unborn baby as well. Having being on this trip thrice, here are some thoughts I will like to share… 1.       Early Visit to your health care provider: This is important as an early check up can prevent an unwanted unforeseen circumstance if there is any. An early detection of abnormal location of the foetus can be handled with less complication. An early scan, the radiologist will say, gives a more accurate Expected delivery date (EDD) than the later sca...

Hey love... Happy Holidays..... its another blog day and I'll be talking about the girl child's first visit to her gynecologist.  In the previous blog post we discussed extensively on the need to raise the girl child with a lot of caution and utmost care and I made mention of the need for her first visits to the pediatrician gynecologist while she is between 13 - 15 years of age.  This in my opinion is very important for two main reasons: Firstly, as a way of developing a bond with her  doctor (gynecologist) and secondly as an avenue to help her know more about her body.  I usually would recommend a female gynecologist for these checkups but your discretion would be most important - Simply get a gynecologist whom you are most comfortable with and one whom you can trust but remember as always that in making this selection, her opinion counts.. Most mums disagree on the need to have their babies visit a gynecologist at their early adolescent stages because the...

Hello everyone...welcome to yet another informative time on the blog... Today i'll be blogging about the amazing fenugreek! You may be wondering what fenugreek really is... I got introduced to these seeds by a colleague Suleiman Kollere and its been soooo amazing... We call him the ''Chai Master''... He brews the seeds with other herbs and we all get to enjoy a rich mug of tea every morning... I have had significant changes ever since the first day I had my first mug...I drink it plain or sometimes with a teaspoon of pure honey... it's got a slightly bitter taste but highly medicinal... Fenugreek is a herb that is commonly grown in the Mediterranean region of the world and their seeds have been found to contain protein, vitamin C, niacin, potassium, diosgenin among other active constituents. I'm delighted to tell you the benefits of this amazing plant and also where you can purchase some of it... Did you know that due to the diosgenin ( a compou...

It's another Monday morning and I'm so pleased to be on the blog again....  Today I'll be blogging on nails.  Did you know that your nails could be sending a message to you about the state of your health.? If you detest showing off your natural nails and would always get a tip simply to hide your nail flaws.. Or you know someone whom you've never seen their nails looking natural... Then you might want to speak to them about it.  1. Biting of the nails I used to bite my nails and it became really embarrassing..  I decided to consciously stop the habit and grow my nails.... The nails would grow nicely and I would be proud of myself.... But it turned out that when ever I struggled to stay awake... I would resort to Biting my nails to keep my eyes open... Sadly it never worked because I would eventually sleep off and feel bad in the morning upon seeing Hw messed up my nails were.... Now when I fell sleepy... I don't fight it anymore... I just go to bed!  ...

Hey guys ..I just want to say thank you to all of you who religiously follow my blog.. Gracias! so I have decided to put up a new post every MONDAY! Yipeeeee!  I hope this makes my ardent readers excited as I've been getting mails requesting for the next post....  Hmm... so i'll be blogging about weight loss drugs... I know it's actually none of my business as every individual is entitled to their opinion but this is one topic that has given me loads of concern.  Why do people take weight loss pills?  I totally understand the fuss about weight loss especially with the ladies.. No guys wants to see a lady with a protruded tummy right? asides that cloths would naturally not fit when you don't watch you weight...Which I know is absolutely Horrifying!  I would not deny the massive drop in weight as testified by individuals who take these teas or pills as they would always show the contrast by posting pictures of their successes and this usually ser...
