Ever felt an itchy sensation around your eye and your very first impulse was to scratch it and soothe yourself? Yes, I believe is your answer. You actually don't rub your eye just when it itches you. It could be when you wake up, when you're anxious or stressed or when an eyelash or two enters your eye. I'm guilty of this and writing this has helped me reduce and who knows what posting would do? Why shouldn't you rub your eye? A research optometrist says studies show that rubbing causes our eye pressure to rise. A light rub doubles it while a thorough and harsh rub causes it to rise 20 times its original pressure. The reaction to rubbing of eyes varies with individuals. For someone with Myopia (Short Sightedness) who already has a very long and weak retina, rubbing it only makes it weaker. The cornea then gets damaged and in rare cases can tear up causing significant loss of sight. When you sleep, your brain loses connection to your eye which explains w...

Hey there! I'm sure you're as guilty of the 'My day was normal' reply as much as I am. Believe me, saying that is not normal. No pun intended.  (I'm actually hoping I'm not the only guilty person here). Describing my day as normal has never been disturbing until recently. No better time to write this than when I am down with malaria, cough and catarrh. I have also heard and seen different things this period that just keeps hammering the whole underrated concept of being fine and hearty. It all started with seeing a lady get hit by a car. It was so bad that I thought I was going to pass out. Nollywood didn't prepare me for what I saw. Not long after then, I heard about the death of two people. These people weren't sick or anything and they went, just like that. How ironic is it that we all know our date of birth and not the day we're going to die. And then Malaria struck and not surprisingly, I found myself thinking and trying to remember what feel...

_Define Birthday? "The one and only day in your life when you were crying and your mother was laughing"_. Seriously? Lol. I don't agree totally but I just felt like sharing. This week went by really fast. I can't believe it's Thursday already. It was my birthday on Monday and while I'm exceptionally grateful to God for bringing me this far and for keeping me, I'm not in a birthday mood. This is not even about outgrowing the special birthday feeling because I'm still a small girl. Yay! to that. I was chatting with my friend Dami last week and she asked the usual question "Where's the turn up at?" I told her there wasn't going to be any turn up and that I was just going to attend my class for the day, go home and then stay indoors for the rest of the day even though my plans changed later on. I then whined about it being a boring life and my babe was like it's a stress free life not a boring one. Funny as it may sound, it made ...

Lessons I learn. Moments/Experiences worth sharing. My random musings and my idiosyncrasy. This page is all about these. I want to try to strike a balance between living life and describing it. Life is all about learning and relearning and I intend to share my many experiences and lessons via this medium. They are actually going to be stuffs you can relate with or probably have gone through at one point or the other. Life just gets better when you realise you're never alone and others have gone through similar experiences and come out strong. Live life. Learn lessons. xxx

There are certain people you meet, hear or read about and you can't help but admire something if not everything about them. Strength, talents, creativity and all. This page is for such people though right now I have none in my head. Some of them I read about in newspapers (Yes, I still read newspapers), some in magazines, some I know personally and some I know by reputation. Yes! I'm going to feature any fictional character I fall in love with. I'll do my best to bring them alive don't worry.            Enjoy. xxx

Fashion, Fashion, Fashion. To be honest, I'm no fashion enthusiast. In fact, fashion is like the least thing I'm passionate about but I do admire those who are fashionable and for me, the next attractive thing about a person after their self-confidence and intelligence is their dress sense. I'm not exactly sure how it's going to be like but this page is basically going to be outfits that make my jaw drop, my fashion crushes and all things fashion /style/beauty. I'll muse on this "Don't let what you can't do stop you from doing what you can do " and make the best of this page. Hopefully, you'll be here with me to witness anyhow it goes.

I'm no medical practitioner neither am I a RD (Registered Dietitian). I'm just a dilettante in health related issues. I'm not sure if it has more to do with my course of study or my inquisitiveness but I enjoy researching various topics whose explanations seem vague to me. When I started this, it was partly because of inquisitiveness and partly because of boredom. What I didn't understand was why I was always writing them down. Well, now I know and I'm glad I followed my instincts. I knew I wanted others to read my write-ups but I didn't know how to go about it. Health magazines was a No No because I'm not a pro. I actually tried to write for one tho but I got no reply. Tsk tsk. Please do not expect a 100% accuracy from the posts with this label. The best I can give is 85. Lol. I hope I get to satisfy not only my own inquisitiveness but yours too.                       ...
