picture from http://www.allworkoutroutines.com/

Hello world! How are you all doing at your various parts of the earth? I hope you're doing great. Speaking of which, today I would be talking about feeling great. Specifically, I want to share with us the deal about cardio exercises; what they are, why they are important and some exercises that fit into this category. I'm sure many of us have heard a lot about cardiovascular exercises, but it hit me recently that we may not know what it really is or why we should be doing it. Many will connect it with the heart from the name and think it is for people with heart issues or history of heart issues, I'm sorry to burst your bubble if you fall in that category. Cardiovascular exercises are very important for us all. I'll tell you why.

Our Churches Today

picture from http://www.issacharinitiative.org/

Greetings loved ones. How are we all doing? Today, I want to talk about something that has been bothering me personally for a while now which is affecting the world as a whole. A few years ago, I hated going to church. It seemed like hard work to me. Sometimes when I do summon energy to go, it is either to seek an avenue to show off a new dress or shoe or just to tick the date on the calendar to show that I went to church at least once in 3 months, maybe. Sometimes I would enjoy the service so much and feel like I've been visited by the angels. Many times, I would find something wrong with the preaching and from that moment in the service, I would zone out. I could get ticked off by wrong grammar or an usher making me sit where I do not want to or a pastor making a mistake in a Bible story or saying something that is unethical is sin. It could be anything really, even as silly as pastor wearing an over-sized suit. This made it easy for me to avoid church for very long periods, after all I had my Bible, I can read and so could seek God myself right?

The Magic of Ginger

picture from www.nlj.gov

Hello everyone, how are you doing? Today, in our health section, we'll be talking about the wonderful herb; Ginger. Ginger is used as spice in food, special ingredient in snacks and drinks as well as medicine. Ginger has a distinctive flavor that is loved by many. My mum can't do without ginger, once you cook without ginger and garlic, to her that food is bland! I on the other hand, do not like the ginger flavor, however, I tolerate it for its many health benefits. Lets go over some of them, shall we?

How To Prepare Fondant Icing


Hey guys! What's up? Some of you may already know about my relationship with cakes; I'm a chocolate cake lover to the core. Real chocolate cake! My favorite icing type would be whip cream closely followed by butter cream, but for the purpose of beauty, I'll choose the fondant icing. The good part is that I can always roll it off my piece of cake, after it serves its purpose in front of the cameras. Today, I decided to share a homemade fondant recipe with some of my lovely cake peeps. As always, this is from our favorite food blog; www.korje.com.

Let's Work Out

picture from www.trends4youth.com

Hi guys! What's popping? Yes, I'm sure you guessed that the next thing after eating right would be working out, right? I can imagine my siblings cracking up at the thought of me writing this. You see, I DO NOT like to work out, but what I can't stand is the thought of adding flesh in the wrong places. So for me, it's a matter of choosing the lesser evil, of which in this case, is working out! That's right! I would humbly offer my body to work out sessions to get rid of flab I do not want. It's sort of tricky for me because I'm seen to be naturally skinny. Let me tell you a bit about that, follow me.

The Delivery Room



Hello everyone, how are you doing? Staying smart, clean and healthy I hope? Please do. Today's topic was inspired by my cousin Ali and more like given by my big sister Grace; my personal host ( by that, I mean I perch on her and everything she has - what are big sisters for ehy?). I can't remember how the topic came up in our home this weekend but it caused a serious debate, with Ali being the only male so we were 3 girls against him :D. So let me ask you now; guys, will you go into the delivery room with your wife? And ladies, would you want your husband to go into the delivery room with you?

Work Hard and SMART

picture from simple-shida.blogspot.com

Hello everyone. I was reminded recently of the advice I got from a former boss. We were having a pre-appraisal, unfortunately my head of department called in sick and so I was there to represent him. We had been given a project and it was still in the inception stage so there was relatively nothing to show in terms of results, just work in progress, steps to success if you know what I mean. As other heads of department confidently defended their departments, giving strong results as back up, I sat there rehearsing my lines in my head. It finally got to my turn and after I gave information about all we had done and were doing and what we expect to do to gain results in due time, my boss said to me " I don't know what you people are doing in your department, you may be working hard, but you need to be working smart". In my head, I thought we were working smart but I wasn't ready for long talk so I nodded and appreciated the advice.

Eat Right!

Hey guys! What's up? I hope everyone is well and the hustle is promising. Remember how I said I'll be sharing health tips? Yes, so, today, I thought I should start from a general point-Eating right! Yes, you may say you eat okay and blah blah but honestly many of us do not eat right and for those who do, serious kudos to you. I find it really difficult to maintain a healthy diet so I try to at the very least, manage the basics. So, what do I consider the basics?
