Tips n Tricks for Harmattan

Yes I know, I'm a poem freak but I sure know something about other things. It's that time of the year when we get all covered up because of the weather and for some, that could be a real challenge. Today, I share a few tips and tricks that have helped me weathered the weather.

1. Get a Sweater
Do not get just any sweater. Get one that's fashionable and preferably black. Not only does black attract heat, it's ideal for people who always come in contact with a lot of people as it hides dirt(that is not to say that you should not wash it o). You should also get one that is easily removable incase the weather gets sunny all of a sudden.

2. Get a Lip Balm
Most people shy away from gloss because it smears, the good news is balms don't. Another added advantage is that it is colourless and that makes it suitable for both sexes.

3.Cream the Hair Everyday
This is for ladies. Abandoning you hair wrapped up in a net or scarf can be damaging. It is best to cream the hair everyday to avoid tangling which is encouraged by the cold weather.

4. Get a Moisturising Lotion
Not all beauty creams give the needed moisture during harmattan and this can be challenging. When selecting a lotion, I recommend baby body lotions as they contain more oils.

5. Bath Early
Always bath early in the morning. This gets you prepared for the day. If you do not bath early enough, it will become harder to do so later in the day. You may just end up sleeping yourself away for the rest of the day.

The Heartbroken Heartbreaker

It took me how long to write this? Probably a million years! This piece is long overdue! Ladies and gentlemen, especially ladies, please do not feel particularly attacked by this piece. I am trying very hard to be honest. Last night, I thought to myself what my response would be if people ever asked me if I've been heartbroken and before I knew it, I had a long speech about how unserious men can be and how women suffer as a result of this. Then it occurred to me that, in the real sense of things, I have never had my heart broken by anybody. Please, please, please, I am not forming wonder woman or holy than thou, it is the simple truth! I came to this realization because, I noticed that if there was ever a time that I felt terrible emotionally it was because of my own expectations and unrealistic guesses. I really don't like to write things about love and relationship and stuff because it gives my readers too much opportunity to get into my head and sometimes, imagine things ...

The Lie of Wisdom and Morals Being Mutually Exclusive.

When we talk of two things as being mutually exclusive, it means that the occurrence of one of them automatically means the absence of the other. That settled, why then do people think that if a person  is wise or a genius, the person most likely will lead an immortal lifestyle? To be honest, I think the main issue is understanding what wisdom means and who a genius really is. Most people feel that to be a genius, one must be different in everything (true to an extent). However, the problem arises when so called wise people go to the extreme. In my opinion, there is a difference between a celebrated person and a genius. As a matter of fact, the real geniuses and wise persons are not really celebrated as much as the 'superficial geniuses'. Just because a person is able to go to daring lengths and try the unknown does not make them a genius, it makes them an explorer. To qualify as a real wise person, to be a genius as approved by worldwide standards, a person must be very cle...

Proud to be Incorruptible

 The beauty of being a woman comes in various shades. It is the pride of being ‘unbewitchable’ unlike the male gender. For a woman can never be conquered by juju or black magic, only a man can. Only a man can be bewitched to lose his senses and become ‘snatchable’ by another women who disconnects him from his wife.  This in turn births another strength of a woman, a woman can break such ‘bewitching’ locks through prayer! Glory! Yes! Only a woman can pray her spouse out of infidelity for men are a breed immune to the gift of prayer. So when a woman is unfaithful, society knows, society can tell, a man is not expected to pray his wife back to her marriage for two reasons. One, she cannot be bewitched by another man for she is immune to juju and two, men cannot pray. The absence of the ‘bewitchableness’ of a woman is sometimes called into question particularly at burials of husbands. Yes, we try to make exceptions for women. Only widows can kill their husbands to inherit their pr...
