Teach your girls to grow up without a sense of entitlement and some more sense of independence.

Some girls are a burden to their friends and to their partners and they keep wondering why people easily walk away from their lives.
Why not? It is simple! You are easily dispensable!

Asides the beautiful face, kitchen skills and companionship or all those other traits that are easy to find in the woman folk
what else do you bring to the table? What makes you different? WHAT IS YOUR X FACTOR?

Sit back and evaluate your relationships!! Are your always on the receiving side? Have you ever thought, if this person cuts me off, what will he/she be losing?
What is your value to your friends, your employees, clients, romantic partners and in any of your relationships?

Are you that person who disappears from the picture and nobody notices or feels it?
does your presence in other people's life have an impact or are you just there occupying space?

Are you always asking and taking without giving anything back?
Are you an asset that no one wants to lose or a liability waiting to be gotten rid of till something better comes?

Dear Queen, Be valuable. Bring something to the table. Bring a table. Be the table. ❤️

FREQUENT SEX CAN ACTUALLY HELP YOU FIGHT COLD AND FLU DURING THIS RAINY SEASON 🥶

cuddling also has the same effect. But having an orgasm, tops the chart!

(Single people should avoid this post😛)
Sex strengthens your immunity. When your immune system is strong, it fights off cold & other diseases

Sex decreases stress levels. Lower stress level = better immunity.

love hormone, oxytocin, causes increase in Immunoglobulin A (IgA) that boosts immunity
studies have shown that people who had sex once or twice in a week have 30% per cent higher levels of protein, Immunoglobulin A (IgA), that fights illness - compared to those who didn't have sex.

However, kissing and cuddle can also boost your IgA levels.

We women spend too much time talking about our expectations from our partner without making any efforts to even treat our men right.

Men have expectations too. Men ought to be treated well too. Relationship is not about taking, taking and taking some more.
Woman, what are you giving?

You expect love, affection and respect.

No problems.

Are you giving same or just sitting pretty with manicure fingers waiting for romance to fall on you?
"How a man should treat his woman" "Treat your woman like a queen" ... please we need to see more articles on "how a woman should treat his man" "treat your man like a king"

Last year, I suffered severe burn-out from saying too many “yes” to others and “No” to myself. Taking up too many engagements to please others and giving bits of myself to too many people. Trying to solve too many problems and showing up for others. Image
In the process, I lost too much of myself. Time. resources. Emotions. I gave myself to the service of others till I had nothing more to give, even to self. I didn’t have time to pursue my own aspirations because I was focused on helping others achieve theirs.
I am passionate about people.I don’t mind being source of hope/help to others. But when you begin to sabotage yourself, deny yourself growth and peace of mind because of others, it becomes toxic. In the end, you become insufficient even to your beneficiaries.

In my 32 years in this life, i only just heard that some women use "vacuum hose" to "suck out their periods" so as to shorten the length of their menstrual flow 😭😭

So i looked it up. Alas, it has been a thing. Since 1971 😟

(Thread)
Menstrual extraction (ME) is a type of manual vacuum aspiration technique developed by feminist activists, Lorraine Rothman and Carol Downer, to pass the entire menses at once - Wikipedia
The non-medicalized technique has been used in small feminist self-help groups since 1971 and has a social role of allowing access to early abortion without needing medical assistance or legal approval. - Wikipedia /1

All stakeholders must be involved in management of premature babies
