Much Ado About Body Care

“Your skin is the fingerprint of what is going on inside your body and all skin conditions.” — Dr. Georgiana Donadio

As I was having my physical treatments a while back, I began to wonder if men go through so much stress when it comes to taking care of the body. We try all manner of treatments; the ones that suit our bodies and the ones that having ignorantly used, affected us. 
And the funniest thing is that, most of the time, when we try to find out the motive behind taking care of ourselves, it all boils down to self esteem, what people would think of us or we trying to ‘catch’ the opposite sex. But has it ever occurred to you that, you can take care of your body just for you?
Yes, “we are addressed the way we dress”, but, we don’t need to wait for all these before we treat our bodies good. And do you also know you can actually do without ‘some kits’ for a while just to free your body? Oftentimes, I see women who can’t do without makeup (Maybe it's a requirement for their job). 
Am I saying we shouldn't use make up? No. But we don’t need to cave under pressure and break banks just to look good or please others. Still, in a bid to look good on the outside, we must not forget to take care of and beautify the inside. Never let it be said of you that, “you are beautiful on the outside but, ugly within”.
P.S: Don’t just treat symptoms or cover them with makeup all the time. Find out the root cause of physical issues you might have and do the needful.
Till the next post, keep learning.

He said the man had just hit his wife in the face. When I looked, I saw the woman holding her face as we drove away. Do you know the saddest part? A child was in the car, watching. The man parked right in the middle of the road, obstructing other cars, and still hit his wife — right there in front of their child. I doubt it was his first time. Truth is, the woman must have seen the red flags before marriage. Still, as the Uber driver said, some women can frustrate their husbands — but that’s never an excuse to hit your wife, especiall...

Gratitude

You think you have nothing to be grateful for? Thank God for breathe, health and peace of mind. I was in the hospital with a family member. Beside her was a guy who should still be in his teens. He had a cast around his head and one to support his spinal cord. He wanted to sit up straight because his buttocks were aching. His mum shouted at him several times to lie still because if anything should go wrong, the huge amount of money spent would be a waste. The teenager had undergone two surgeries already and he was to remain in the bed for three weeks. That same night, someone died and the hospital was filled with all manner of wailings. The family member I went to check was to undergo surgery that same night ...
