Monday motivation I remember my dad’s truck, he uses it for works on his farm. That truck can carry the whole world…lol. From time to time when I needed to carry some loads, I would call popsy to borrow it and he graciously allowed me use it but the truck had a problem; the reverse gear didn’t work well. You would think that’s a small problem but a trial will convince (sorry, confuse) you…lol. You may have to drive about 30 minutes before the reverse gear can work and mind you once you switch off the engine for 30 minutes, the reverse gear returns to comma. Imagine the mathematics you…

you were designed specifically to meet a need!!
Monday motivation I once worked with a building material company, which sells high-end luxurious building finishes. The organisation imported most of its products from other countries. These products come dismantled and well-arranged in boxes. Now each pack comes with a set of screws and screw drivers which allows for re-assemble. After years of opening several boxes, one feature which stuck to me was that every single screw was put there for the number of holes that needed to be filled, there was no spare or idle screw. So when installing, one great way of knowing you are done, is to have no screw left! Therefore if the box had 1000…

Best Serums to Combat Oily Skin
Oily skin is a problem for many people of all ages and skin types. This can not only cause an embarrassing “shine” on the face, it also creates a number of other problems due to the fact that it increases dirt and debris in the pours, which can lead to blackheads, pimples, and other issues as well, depending on how serious the problem is. It is usually worse for people who live in more humid climates, especially near the ocean. You couple those problems with the fact that it is usually hotter and more saturated with UV rays in these areas, and the increased perspiration only adds to the…

Tips On How To Avoid Motor Accidents
A study released by a National Safety Council last month has indicated that the use of seat belts varies significantly from one state to the next. While the amount of drivers that fail to buckle up is still one of the main causes of motor accidents across America. In the year 1999, around 9,500 individuals lost their lives unnecessarily due to not wearing a seat belt. As an increase in American drivers continues to hit the roadways, along with an elevation in highway congestion over the summer season which is always busier, AutoTrader offers a reminder to consumers that they should drive carefully, always use a signage when necessary and stick…

A Guide To Improving Your Sleep
Skip Napping Unless You Can Do It Early In The Day While a lot of people enjoy napping during the day, it may not always be the best idea when it comes to getting better sleep. Napping too late in the day could keep you from feeling sleepy at night, making it much harder to get the rest that you need. That doesn’t mean that you have to give up napping. Instead, all that you need to do is squeeze your nap in earlier than 5:00 PM. Don’t Eat Heavy Meals At Night Diving into a pizza right before bed is almost always a bad idea. Indigestion can leave…

Thoughts bite: A mental health story by Olatorera Dickson-Amusa
THOUGHTS BITE. I took a deep breath, steadied myself. I counted to ten, and then stared at my phone again. Then I reached out my hand and picked it up slowly. I always did this whenever my phone rang, in the hope that if I stalled long enough, the caller would get discouraged and go away. Sometimes I wondered, did this happen to anyone else too? Do other people plan “impromptu” outings for three days just to hang out for a few hours? Do other people turn their knuckles into a weird sort of stress ball, cracking and cracking until they hurt? Without looking at the phone in my hand,…
