5 Golden rules to an hitch free life

Hello Dearies, good morning, happy new week, i pray this week brings unspeakable joy and blessings to you in Jesus name. I have come to understand, that most of the issues we have in life are interpersonal issues,when you don't get on well with your friends, co-worker or even your spouse, it all leads to frustration, depression and bitterness. So to start your week I thought to share this 5 rules that can enhance your interpersonal relationship and help you to live and hitch free life

Rule1: Tame Your Tongue
This rule is really important for anyone that wants to be successful in life, mind what you say, control your tongue anand do not let your tongue control you, even the bible advise us to be quick to listen and be slow to speak, use your tongue to bring things to life not to murder them, if one is really disciplined with one's mouth, then one can really lead an hitch free life to an extent

ARE YOU BEAUTIFUL??

 Yaay! am so happy to be back, clearing cobwebs, my sweethearts, i am sorry, no am sorry is not enough but i am really sorry, life has been going on a fast track for me, i have had a lot on my plate lately that i feel 24hours is not enough, Msc, new job e.t.c but i promise am back for real, i will try as much as possible not to neglect this space and then i have learnt, self discipline is key, one cannot achieve anything without it, enough of me already, how is everyone?? i know have missed a lot and i really will catch up, a big thanks to everyone that checked on me and encouraged me, before i write an epistle, let's go straight to the post.
 
  Do you know that it is not perfect make up, good cloth, or good body structure e.t.c that makes one beautiful, yes those physical things add up, they make you look good, but they are not true definition of beauty, if you wrap a delicious chocolate in a dirty and unattractive wrapper, no one will take a look at it not to talk of opening it, thats the importance of looking good on the outside, because it serves as the point of attraction.

10 factors that scare Nigerian men away from marriage

Hello beautiful people, *pops collar, i know ya all went to know where and what i have been up to, well in subsequent post i will talk about it, so, it is a general believe that Nigerian men shy away from marriage, when i read this reasons i knew i had to share, i totally i agree with no2 ,3,7,8,10, lets talk in the comments section, what do you think?

So, what are those factors that scare Nigerian men away from marriage? We have tried to compile some reasons that make most men feel jittery to converse on ‘Marriage’ as topic, feel free to add yours if not in our list.

1. No wife materials: Common among some men is the reservation that there is scarcity of ‘wife-materials’ in Nigeria. In this case, they are not referring to ladies not being in quantifiable distribution among men, what they are complaining about is that most ladies of this generation lack the necessary attributes that will qualify them for the lifetime commitment called marriage. If this is the case, time of quality search can help heal the wound of such man.

2. They get sex freely without marriage than in time past: Realizing now that they can get sex more easily than in times past, when ‘virginity’ for women was a pass value to marriage, some men now feel lot of women today have lost it when it comes to keeping themselves whole. But, this might not be the fault of women as promiscuity is not an exclusive act than can be carried out without the consent of either gender.

3. Nigeria weddings are expensive: In a country where a man is expected to marry a woman in three different kinds of wedding- Religious, Traditional and Court, the cost of marriage no doubt is something men find very intimidating. As of last year, the average Nigeria wedding cost something like N500,000 and the it goes upward from that to more unimaginable cost. For most people, especially in this economy, that’s a lot of money. But all we advise is that men should try and cut their coat according to their material

Secrets of an irresistable Woman

 Hello everyone,*clears cobwebs* am sorry for just going and coming back as i like, nothing to blame it on except my laziness, but i promise, i will make amends by God's grace.

Ask any lady of this age and time, what do you want in a spouse, and she goes, a man that will take of me, love me, cherish me...blah blah me, one word that is constant 'ME' , it only means such a person just wants to go and be receiving without giving back, and believe such marriages never work, as a woman, what are you bringing to the table, before you can seek the heart of a king, you must be a Queen, so before you write a journal or long list of what you want in a man, be sure to be a woman of value, a virtuous woman,an irresistable woman whose price is far above rubies

How far is too far?

Hello my sweethearts, good morning, how is everyone doing, its a beautiful morning and enjoying the cool inspirational vibes am listening to, inspiration wednesday promises to be interesting tommorrow, do make it a date.

Social media;A blessing or a curse???

Hian, am not good at singing,i would have sang an introductory love song for all BVs but not to worry, i ll someday, For now, thanks to everyone who stops by this space, thanks for your amazing views and comments, God bless you all, Happy new week people, how is the weather like in your side? Well its going to be a bright Monday here, this was supposed to be friday's post but  my blogger app was just messing up all througg the weekend

  Lets discuss something interesting today, am a big fan of social media; facebook, bbm, twitter, instagram,youtube,blogs e.t.c, well am addicted to some of this platforms because i could get to talk to almost anyone i want to talk to by just chatting with them, facebook updates me on events and things about my friends and loved ones, then i kind of love talking about politics and the state of the nation, facebook and twitter does all the job, instagram is my go to place for update on trends, latest music, latest outfit,celebrity gist and everything...so, to me social media is a huge blessing but on the other way round, sometimes i hate social media because people tend to hide behind the screen of their phones, pc or tablet to spew bad vibes to other people especially celebs, another one is all this sexually provocative pictures and videos plastered all over facebook attimes and then people have turned everything in Nigeria to social media jokes with different hashtags and memes...

    But all in all, social media in my own opinion is still a blessing, its a platform we can now use to speak out as youth, its a platform we can use to know whats going on in the society, its a platform we can use to learn new things and its a platform we can use to keep close contact...whats your opinion? Is social media a curse or a blessing???

Inspiration wednesday-you have to be strong

Hello my beautiful people, how is everyone doing??? Choi...i missed this space mehn,i missed everyone...*side eyes* to Amaka, reading her comment this morning made me laugh out loud and it really did melt my heart...so i had to quickly open blogger...

   Well Inspiration wednesday today is talking to jibbyks, i wish i could pour out my heart here, *But some people who knows me personally, come here annoymously*i wish behind the smiles and happiness i show to people around me the pain in my heart could show but no it does not because i know i have to be strong....

  Have you ever felt so much pain deep within that you can't talk to anyone about it because words can't explain how you feel or you feel people can't understand you, thats exactly how have been feeling lately...but i know that this too shall pass if i am strong, life is throwing me different punches but i won't allow myself to be down for long because this is part of the sharpening, i have to go through, because nothing good comes easy in life and so that i can be more grateful when i reach my goal...

But as am typing this post, my heavy heart is melting..... i know before the year runs out, testimony shall abound....in every situation you have to be strong, you have to wrap your struggles in strength and just let God fix it which is exactly what am doing now and what you should try to do too..
  Am back and better!

Where did gender equality travel to?

Hello my deareat LD fam, how is your day going, mine is going coldly, as the weather is too cold for me to deal with, i wish i could just be indoor all day but i can't be lazy around here, i have to go to work *rolls eyes*

   Let me go straight to the reason of today's post, during my final year in the uni, one of the 8 Mdg goals i was thought was gender equality, but in reality i feel there cannot be such thing, the male gender is still very much favoured than the female gender...  if a woman is pregnant, and she gives birth to a female child as ist born, female as second born and third born, the family is deemed not complete until she brings forth a male child, whereas if  its the other way round its no issue..

i was forced to ask my dad, why is it that after sending your male and female children to school,after Nysc, the male child must go and hustle or start a life anywhere he likes while the female must continue anything she wants to do under your roof or she ll be termed a rebel?

PICTURE THIS....

Hello LD readers, do you believe this? Mz Geneiveve Nnaji posted this on instagram some hours ago, well i agree to an extent though...

Inspiration Wednesday- Be thankful for little things

Yaay... Goodmorning ,my beautifuls, Happy new month, its my prayer that July will be good to each and everyone of us, it will bring us all love, joy, hapiness and promotion In jesus name, its the second half of the year already, 2015 is gradually running to an end...

15 unspoken rules of courtesy that everyone should adhere to!!!

   Hello LD Fam, how is your day going, you know we are quickly forgetting our courtesies, somethings are just reasonable to do as a young man or young Lady, so when this article was sent in by boo that i should post, i was very happy, read and enjoy, Do you agree with them of you don't , share your thoughts in the comments section...

Times are changing. A lot of the rules in our society, that were once very rigid, are now something that we hardly pay heed. But while some rules and regulations on what might be considered as good behavior are obsolete now; there still exists a bunch of unspoken ones that one needs to adhere to. These are rules that have a lot to do with commitment, gratitude, privacy and general courtesy.

What Do you look out for in a spouse??

Hello Lovely LD fam, good morning sweethearts, Happy new week, How was your weekend, mine was awesome, you remember i said my brother was getting married this month, last Saturday was the D-day, i enjoyed myself, as i got to see people i have not seen in years and all of them be looking at me and saying, you are all grown now...lol, i had so much fun, as i even participated in the catching of the Bride's bouquet though i didn't catch, Sunday was beautiful too, it was mid-year thanksgiving and i enjoyed the service, all in all, my Weekend was glam.

   Now straight to today's post because i know i have not been blogging consistently this month, During the wedding it just dawned on me that at least every marriage went through the wedding process, the bride and groom having radiant smiles on their faces and everywhere looking beautiful, but how come we have so many failed marriages, why do some people have so many awful stories of hurt in their marriage, where have we missed it when it comes to marriage??

How do you deal?

Hello my lovely LD fam,good morning, how is the week going, gradually i am begining to understand and see life from a different point of view and all this understandings are making me not to be able to drag anything with anyone or struggle for anything because at the end of the day, all is vanity also i am always thankful for every minute of life, what is money without happiness, what is comfort without peace of mind???...so dearies even with that little, if you have peace of mind, don't drag what your hands can't reach, just be patient and it will all make sense

  On a second note, how many of us have that shoe, cloth or underwear that you like so much, despite the fact that its old, you can't just let go  of it, i do, i have this pair of sandals that i love so much and i feel comfortable wearing it, despite the fact that the sole is gradually splitting into two, i am still rocking it and i would still continue to rock it till it finally cuts into two...lol...

  Now to the point of today's post, hoe do you deal with a stubborn headed friend, someone who does not take other people's opinion, someone that believes she is always right, even though every person around her thinks she is wrong, how do you deal with such person in love?

Inspiration wednesday-Life is like a box of chocolates

Hello and goodmorning to everyone, i dunno but since i started inspiration Wednesday, there is this deep feeling of responsibility that i have every Wednesday, i feel i must always lift someone's heart and mind and make them feel better, and am glad that God has been helping me with that.Likening life to chocolate was and interesting experience, read and be inspired

  I have come to understand that Life is a misery, today its going right and tommorrow its turning left, You never know what to expect from life,until you go through life daily,so the quote below truly describes life

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get-Forest Gump

  But then again, i discovered that life can be likened to a box of chocolates too on many other level, so below is what i discovered after my research

Life is like a box of chocolates, each piece is different but it takes them all to complete the package. Challenges, struggles, happy moments, joyful moments, moments of loss and all moments in life can be different but it takes them all to make life complete

Life is like a box of chocolates, if it is empty, it makes everyone sad. If life is uneventful and unexciting and there are no different moments, then it makes everyone sad

Life is like a box of chocolates,if you only try the ones you like, you ll never know how great something new can be. If you fail to try out new things and explore Life, then you will never know how sweet life can be

Life is like a box of chocolates, the sweetest thing you can do is enjoy them. Enjoying life and taking whatever life throws at you calmly and seeking solution is the best way to enjoy life.

Life is like a box of chocolates, some can be very sweet while some can leave a sour taste in your mouth.Life can be very sweet attimes and can be the other way round at other times, but above all learn to enjoy life

Life is like a box of chocolates, you get used up and thrown away

Life is like a box of chocolates, its messy and makes you get your hand dirty

The power of a Woman

Hello my beautifuls, yes i know i have not been consistent on blogsville lately, power supply has been terrible and then i have been a bit lazy lately, am sorry dearies, and i am wishing you a very aazing and fruitful week ahead

  Yes, i am excited about today's post, one of the things i am most thankful for is been a woman,yes the bible says we are the weaker vessels but in reality we are stronger than the strongest, if you are a woman and you know how to use your power of being a woman well, i believe you can get anything done because if we set our hearts to do anything, we always get it done

Men spend more time Gossiping than women?

Hello LD fam, greetings to everyone, how is your weekend going? am sorry i went away for too long, blame it on epileptic power supply, how have been managing to keep my phone on is great miracle, i missed this space, i felt like a part of me was missing each day i don"t get to put a post up.

Inspiration Wednesday- The pencil motivation

 Hello lovely LD Fam, happy mid week, you know sometime last week i met someone who said something that really strucked me, the person said, i know one can not always lack forever, you cannot be poor forever, because their will be a point in your life when you will be bouyant, there will be an opportunity for you to be great and do ex[loits, the problem is just that some of us are always blind to our opportunities, so dearies always look out for your opportunity to be great Today on inspiration wednesday, lets look at the pencil motivation, read and be inspired;

Personality Tuesday- Dealing with low self esteem

Hello beautiful people, how is your week going?? Remember last week  we talked about temperament in personality Tuesday and i love the discussion we had, God bless you all

Today lets talk about Self esteem, while i was growing up and even up to recently i was battling with low self esteem, i just use to feel everyone is better than i am, but  just recently i got transformed from it all thanks to one wonderful person in my life, well low self esteem is when one is always feeling insignificant or less important, it could be a dream killer and it makes you feel less human, it could be caused by what you believe about yourself, It could be as a result of experiences i.e what you saw, heard or experienced earlier in life, it could also be as a result of neglect, abuse, failing to meet parental or peer group standards and lack of warmth, affection or family love

pics source: google

HOW TO OVERCOME LOW SELF ESTEEM

Believe in yourself: yes believe you can achieve anything and you are the best thing that has happened to the world, love and pamper yourself,  and most of all be around the people that love you and bring the best out of you (this really worked for me) because when you want to give up on yourself, they are always there to lift you up

6 Red flags to look out for in any relationship

Hello my people, *kneels down* am sorry for not putting up love the greatest of all 2 up yesterday as promised, i went to an owanbe, it was a wedding and i was enjoying the groove of the new bride and groom, that i could not type the post, because i was too excited, i can't wait for my big day too, it was an exciting experience mehn, well next Sunday by God's grace the post will be up, hope my apology is accepted?

Well i believe in knowledge and finding out about things, so thats why am presenting you this six traits below, have a blessed week ahead lovelies

Red flags are violations of proper dating etiquette and standards. Everyone dating should protect their hearts and minds from those looking to abuse them. Everyone wants love, and everyone deserves love. No one, however, deserves to be abused.

These six red flags below indicate things to watch out for when you’re dating someone. If someone is currently treating you this way or starts to treat you in any of these ways in the future, RUN! Don’t look back!

1. They Want to Change

You Have you only been dating for a short period of time and they are already telling you they hate your life-long friends? That is a HUGE red flag! Have they already been encouraging you to move in with them, or worse yet, move out from where you’re currently living with family, friends, or your own apartment to a place they feel will be more fitting, alone? Do they complain about the way you do your hair, what clothes you wear, and try to watch yourevery move? Do they laugh at your dreams and goals telling you that they are stupid or that you should focus on something else?You, my friend, are dating a control freak, and you should run as fast as you can! Control freaks don’t really love you or accept you the way you are. They simply want you to fit the narrative of what they feel the perfect partner is for them. They want someone they can watch and break down. Life is too short to live it the way someone else thinks you should live it.

BEFORE YOU BLOW THAT HORN!

 Hello dearest LD Fam, good morning, well Thursdays are a reminder that Friday is close by right? and the weekend is close by, well for now am not always excited about weekends because i work everyday of the week except Sundays at times, but above all am thankful for unexplainable grace that is evident in my life and for all the amazing people in my life who make life worth living and you with that two eyes reading this , yes you, you are part of them, thank you so much for always stopping by to read, you don't know how important your coming here to read and leaving a comment is to me, God bless you all

 Today i want to talk of one thing that annoys me most on Nigerian roads, its the Horn, the Horn has been greatly abused by Nigerian Car users, i don't know if its like that in other parts of the world o, but am sure Cherri, mami Tibs and others can tell us if it is, but in this Nigeria part of the things Horns are used for are:

To say Hello
 when they see someone that they know on the road driving by, to say hello or greet the person, you just hear them blow their Horn pon pon pon....so annoying , am my dad does this attimes too

  Today we are going to engage ourselves with Personality Test, you know, i have come to understand that, if you don't know yourself, then you can't deal with other people, you will end up either been always hurt or always stepping on other people's toes, at a point in my life, i was very angry with everyone around me, people always getting on my nerves and annoying me, then i knew something was wrong with me, everyone can't be bad, then i went through the personality test,believe me, now there is rarely any person i can't live with, i spent part of my secondary school days in the boarding house, all through my university days, my school was fully residential, so we all lived in the hostel, is either we are 8 in a room, or 6 in a room and the lowest is 4 in a room, believe me i learned to be very tolerant and then i discovered that if you know each other, you will find it easy to relate well, which is where Temperament comes in, Temperament is a person's nature that affects their behavior, now there are basically four types of temperament which are:

7 things you should not tell your friends about your relationship

Hello LD Fam, good morning and have a blessed week ahead.Remember to let love shine in everything you do this week and the lord will bless all you lay your hands on but to avoid stories that touch the heart, stop sharing things that are personal with friends, read and learn!

Relationships work better when they’renot exposed to the whole world! Sure, we all want to brag about this and that but some things are better kept between the two of you.

Source- Google

1. Intimate Details
What happens in the bedroom, should stay in the bedroom. Never, and I meanNEVER, let out your int.imacy Details toyour friends. It’s not only bad if your partner gets to hear it from someone else, it’s just embarrassing. No one wants you to tell them how good or bad the s.ex is, keep it in the bedroom, only you can make your Friends respect your partner and the in.timate details should be kept from even the closest of friends.

WHAT BUHARI PROMISED NIGERIANS

On May 29, Muhammadu Buhari will take office as President of Nigeria. Expectations are high as most Nigerians expect the coming government to wave a magic wand and make all their problems disappear. The Buhari campaign which ran on a ‘CHANGE’ mantra made numerous promises to Nigerians during the campaign.
Buhari’s campaign promises as presented by Vanguard
On Politics and Governance:
I, Muhammadu Buhari, believe that our politics is broken. Our nation urgently needs fundamental political reform and improvement in governance more transparency and accountable. If you nominate me in December, 2014 and elect me in February 2015, my administration will:
1. Initiate action to amend the Nigerian Constitution with a view to devolving powers, duties, and responsibilities to states in order to entrench true Federalism and the Federal spirit;
2. Strengthen INEC to reduce, if possible, eliminate electoral malpractices in Nigerian’s political life;
3. Attract the best and brightest of our sons and daughters into our politics and public service by aggressive recruitment of private sector people, academics, and professionals within
Nigeria and in the Diaspora through internships, fellowships, executive appointments, and special nomination to contest elective offices;

But we're all listening.

Loud screams,
Bad dreams,
It's very far,
But close it seems.

Sad day,
Lost our way,
All we can do,
Is simply pray.

Innocence gone,
Life no longer long,
We may not know,
But we're all doing wrong.

Joy lost,
The Holocaust,
We look to see,
Hearts covered in frost.

Wars fought,
Sins taught,
Making mistakes,
Hoping not to be caught.

Not taking blame,
Pushing for fame,
As advanced as we are,
We're still all untamed.

Too much pride,
Needing a guide,
We will deny it,
But behind lies we hide.

Hurting others,
Betraying brother,
Many forgetting,
To appreciate mothers.

Lies are fed,
Filling heart and head,
Through all of these years,
Innocent blood has been shed.

Children abandoned,
Lonely and stranded,
We're all wasting the life
That we have been handed.

Taking from the poor,
We're loving no more,
Fight to be free,
End up starting a war.

People starting fights,
No longer enjoying the sights,
While mere mortals are taking
Our God given rights.

Soldiers killed,
Void can't be filled,
Pay close attention,
For pure souls have been tilled.

Need to find peace,
Work together like geese,
But greatest of all,
The hate needs to cease.

Inspiration Wednesday- I can't

  Hello my darling LD fam, happy mid week, its another edition

 of inspiration Wednesday, read and be inspired.

I was the quintessential "I can't" child -- the poster child for the

 Advancement of the word "can't."

Whatever my mother told or asked me to do was immediately

 followed by my whining, "I caaaaan't." Consequently, very few

 tasks or goals that I set out to accomplished were ever completed.

One evening, my mother called me into the family room where she

 was reading an article in the TV Guide. On the cover was a photo

 of Marlo Thomas, currently starring in the popular sitcom, That Girl.

 Mother knew that the show was one of my favorites and Marlo one 

of my show biz idols.

The Genotype issue

Hello dearest LD Fam, how are you doing today, well am glad 

its another beautiful day, and guess what? the lord has been good

 to me, this month has been amazing so far, am happy about that.

 Well i really wish today's post will be interactive because its a 

very important issue

Well there was this friend of mine long ago, who started dating this
 guy, and believe me there love seem perfect, though in every
 relationship there are ups and downs, but this two always disagree
 to agree,i think the guy at some point the guy went for tests in

10 types of men ladies should avoid

Hello dearest LD fam, happy new week, hope you have a blessed and
 fulfill week ahead, pardon me for the unannounced break i took during
 the weekend, i just really had to clear my mind of some things, how is
 everyone doing? well we all are doing an ultimate search for something
 in our love and relationship life as ladies right??? every lady lady is
searching for Mr right, so today i just thought to share 10 types of men
 we do not like and that we must stay away from, so for the ladies
 please take note and the men too can take note so that they can adjust,
 the rate of failed marriages are too alarming to ignore the signs  *winks*

The Liar:
 He takes every slight opportunity to lie, he lies to people in your presence
 without flinching and when he lies, you can almost believe him use he
 is good at it, run far away from him

The Bad boy
At one time or another, every girl has a thing for the guy
 who just doesn’t play by the rules. He’s perpetually angry, 
acts like a tough guy and looks damn good while doing it. 
But the juvenile attraction to the bad boys of our youth can
 quickly fade when rebellion turns into recklessness. The bad
 boys will just break your heart... or the law. And these rebels 
without a clue top the list of types of men to avoid on the dating scene.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN HOROSCOPE?

Struggle! Why? how many people like struggling- why cant things just be easy!
Here is a story of a butterfly.

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared
, he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force 
its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. 

It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.
 Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors
 and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then
 emerged easily. But it had a swollen body (or head) and small, shriveled wings.

LADIES , 5 SIGNS HE IS IN LOVE WITH YOU

     Hello lovely people,  how are you doing today? well am not fine, as am

 feeling very sick, but then again , i have to go to work and i have to be 

here too, but as soon as i put up this post, i will take some a lil rest, so i 

was talking to one of my bae  this morning and while talking sha, we talked

 about a guy dats been on her case for long, and she said he has been 

showing that he loves her, and thats the inspiration for this post, signs to

 show he is in love with you:

  He is Proud to show you off; you know sometimes in a relationship,

  especially if the relationship is not based on love, the guy just tries

 all his best to hide the babe from everyone, his friends and family 

members, thats a big sign the babe is a side chick and maybe they have

 already been introduced to the main babe, if he loves you, he

 would be proud to show you off to the world and he would always tell

 everyone that cares to listen about you and about how happy you make him feel.

WINNERS MENTALITY

      Hello lovely people, how was your weekend??? here is a little motivation

 for you as you start your week, do have a blessed week ahead.

 Winning is a word that is exciting to hear and great to be associated with 

but only a few people ever taste it. Every person want to be associated with

 a winner(champion). 

    People like stars are celebrated in society because they have emerged

 'winners' in there respective field. Loosers are shunned and most times loosing

 is associated with shame. no wonder most people when they loose they cant 

withhold tears.

  There isn't any big difference therefor between a winner and a looser. Lets look

 at two football teams. They all have equal number of players, had the same period

 in which to prepare, have same chances of scoring but only one team will be crowned. 

Faith without works is Dead

 Hello my lovely sweethearts, today am feeling very lazy, i guess am going

 to be home all day, may God help me, happy Sunday my people and do 

have a lovely day ahead.

  Today we are going to be talking about Faith and Works, Faith is one of
 the Christian principles that is so dear to my heart, as many times i have used
 it and it has worked for me, but then i feel some people have a misconception
about faith, yes, i know faith is believing the unbelievable but how do you have
 faith that something will happen without working towards it?

CELEBRITY POST- Congrats to blogger Sisiyemmie and hubby bobo

30 Ways To Learn To Love yourself and be happy with the World 2

Hello lovely people, yeah you remember yesterday we started sharing
30 ways to love ourselves and be happy with the world right??? and 
yesterday i shared the first 15 so today i will be sharing 16-30, so relax
 and enjoy, if you didn't see 1-15 that i posted yesterday, you can check it here

16. Care about your appearance — not in a vain, superficial way. 
Care about how you look, so you can feel great when you leave the
 house. But, if you feel like wearing sweatpants and your hair in a bun
 to the grocery store once in a while, go do it.

17. Watch that movie or that Netflix series you’ve been meaning to see.

18. Be active. Exercising regularly releases endorphins and contributes to

 your level of happiness and will help you feel better about yourself.

19. Pick up a hobby. My roommates and I ordered paint-by-numbers 

from Amazon. It made me feel creative and allowed for some 

roommate bonding time.

30 Ways To Learn To Love Yourself And Be Happy With The World 1

Hello lovely people, TGIF, and do have a lovely weekend and remember to
come share with us on Monday, i read this Article on Elite daily and i thought to
 share with ya all, its really a long piece so i broke it into two, i would post the
 remaining part tomorrow enjoy!

  Many people (including me) speak about “self-love”: figure yourself out,
 love yourself before you get into a relationship… and so it goes. However,
 you only truly obtain self-love by having compassion for the self, so you can
appreciate and do considerate deeds for others.

Along my path to learn about myself and work on my own self-love, I discovered
several major truths that still resonate with me and support my personal effort.
I am a constant work in progress, as most of us are. To help you gain more perspective and have a foundation on which to begin your journey of self-love, here are 30 truths to remember:

1. Stop comparing yourself to others. People achieve success and fail at
 different rates.

2. You’re not as fat as you think. Besides, your body fat percentage has
 no bearing on what makes you a quality human being.

3. Exercise because it is good for your soul and not solely for your outward
experience. Appreciate your body and all the things it can do. Stop picking it
 apart — you will never achieve perfection.

4. Find something at which you excel. Maybe you are really amazing at working
with kids and you just don’t know it yet.

PROS AND CONS OF MOBILE PHONES AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

Hello lovely people, Good morning, happy Monday...lol, Yesterday made this blog's two months Anniversary, i totally forgot, but here i am now, saying thank you to everyone that has ever stopped by, thanks so much, for all your awesome comments and your prayers, am saying a special thanks to Cherri, mhen she is amazing in every sense of it, the massive, support,prayers and encouragement and getting from her hen, May God reward her abundantly for me, well, well, well, am not in support of Abortion, but what do all these rescued women from Boko haram that are pregnant do, i even dread the though of them birthing those children,i prefer they abort the children jawe, May God help them

Before the advent of mobile phones in Nigeria, my dad gisted me that they use to use letters as means of communication, if i want to say something to my friend in ibadan and i am in lagos, i will have to write a letter and take it to the post office and it might even take days before the letter reaches my friend, while in some cases they don't even get the letter at all, or another method they use is some rich people have this table telephone powered by Nitel then,

 so people gather in such places and take turns to call their loved ones, but for people who don't  have this opportunity, they travel down to check on their loved ones,very stressful right??

BIRTHDAY POST+ RANDOM THOUGHT

Hello,lovely people, Happy Sunday,  how are you doing??? am excited about this
 month of May, i don't know the reason, but i just feel good about this month and
again am so thankful for life, and for how God has been working wonders.

  Yes today is Immanuel Mavins birthday, he is a fellow blogger and a blog boo
 too, he blogs here, we at Life's diary are saying a very happy birthday to him,
may the lord bless and prosper his ways and may favor and mercy follow him
always,Age with grace dear and do send our cake to my mail, guess what people
Mavins is beautiful miss Genevieve Nnaji's  birthday mate, Happy birthday to her too

see the face behind that awesome blog

  And to my random thought, some times when we humans are in need of something
 and we turn to God to help us with it, but because he is an all knowing God, he
 might give us the thing right away or delay it a bit,  to do it at the best time for us,
 but because we are humans we get very impatient fast, and some people can be
very worst in their waiting time that they do what they are not suppose to do and
 there by lose that favour and blessing God has in stock for them
 Lemme say a short story to back this up, there was a certain man living in my
area while i was going to secondary school, i can remember that this man use to
 be very poor that, he has to push his bike every morning before the bike could
work so that he will use it to carry people and earn small money, av known him
to be like this for years, but later within one month this man bought two cars, i was
 surprised because i was not sure he even had a job, and then he established a shop
 for his wife outside there house, this man would put his Gen on every morning from
 afternoon till night, he was living in great affluence but 6 months after, his wife died
and the wife's family were like the man used the wife as the source of his wealth but
 not long the cries died down and life continued for this man, he married another wife,
 but dearly beloved this man died too barely 5 months after his wife, and guess what
 as rich as he was no kobo was found in his accounts when he died, the family members
 were begging from people in the area so that they can transport him to his village,
twas that bad, so it came to my mind that if God didn't want this man to be rich,
whatever he did wud not have worked out, i just believe that he was not patient
enough to receive the blessings, so it cost him his life, it is only God that maketh a
 man rich without sorrow, what do you think?

NEW MONTH;NEW BLESSING!

 he will meet you at the point of your heart desires and you and your family shall not
 lack anything good In Jesus name,

expecting my masters interview to go well too this month  by God's grace, what
 are your expectations for the month of May? Do share with us, thanks once again
