It's Thanksgiving Again! What Are You Thankful For?

http://theavtimes.com/

Happy thanksgiving everyone! How are you doing? It's thanksgiving season again and I believe you have many reasons to be thankful. I know I do and that's why I'm here today; to share some of the reasons why I'm thankful. It's very usual to hear people say they don't have reasons to be thankful and I must say that this is very sad. First, because it is untrue and also because your negative attitude or your ingratitude hinders you from receiving more blessings. If you can't see and appreciate what you have right now, what use would it be to give you more? Always be grateful people, no matter what you're going through the fact remains that there are people who have it better and those who have it worse than you do. I'm not here to preach today, I'm here to count some of my blessings with you, so please, follow me :).

The Hour Glass Figure

http://taliamarkham.blogspot.com/2012

Hey guys, how are you all doing? I've been up and about trying to make the world a better place just like superman. :D, Okay, maybe not like that but I've been up and about though, trying to make my world and a few others' a better place; we have to start small "na", it's a ripple effect. Guess what? I've been enjoying a generous amount of power supply from PHCN (that's still their name right?) for a week  now, I don't know if they're back for good but I'm enjoying this and pray it stays this way. Okay, to today's topic - for a while now, ladies have been increasingly obsessed with having the perfect hour glass figure. I'm afraid that this is as a result of subtle hypnosis by the media. The thing is, I have always connected a woman's sexiness with the "figure 8" shape. By always, I mean, since I knew how to think (since I was in the womb). I don't know why or how I got that idea, I don't know if I was made to believe that or I saw it and liked it on my own, (I have many elder sisters so I may have been hypnotized too). I do know though that till date I still find that sexy, in the right proportions of course. What I don't know is why recently, ladies have gotten so obsessed with the whole shape thing that they are ready to go to extreme measures to get it. I like it so I won't say it is rubbish though sometimes I feel it is not worth the risk people take, I will say that I hope you're doing it for YOU and it gives YOU joy. I will also say, that you should choose the healthy, probably more difficult and less risky way out - diet and exercises. Yes, there are exercises to help you get that shape and I'll be sharing some of them with you today.

Coming Soon

http://woodgatecomputers.com/

Hey guys! I thought I should drop a brief info about this page before we launch out, so here goes. As a true naija girl, lol (that's funny to even me), part of my hustle includes selling female clothes, it's a joint start up hustle and it's from fashion lovers. I may not be seen as a typical fashion lover but I do appreciate good style - elegance, class and comfort are my fashion watch words. I'm glad we have a somewhat "fashionista" among us. Anyway, so this page will be used as an advertising platform where we'll showcase some of our products. It could also be used to talk or share photos about fashion thumbs up and maybe fashion faux pas. You know how we do, we'll just go with the flow and analyze from time to time. I trust you guys to continue to be the darlings that you are. You can share photos of your most comfortable style, your latest fashion craze etc. Whatever personal fashion related news or photo you want to share with us, please feel free to mail them to me at me@stephtarfa.com. Thanks guys, lots of love.

A Delicious Coconut Water Fruit Blend


Hi guys, how are you all doing? I'm same as last time, upset with the power situation. It's been six days today that we've not had a blink of light. We've been running on gen for so long, you can just imagine the cost and even more uncomfortable; the limitations (since I don't buy the fuel) - no heater, no air conditioner, etc. sigh. We'll survive. Anyway, if you're in a better part of the world, then you could try this recipe I'm about to share and to make it even better, put it in the refrigerator for an even cooler experience ;). If you're in my shoes; suffering the no electricity life, you could still enjoy the freshness of this with alternative power supply. From our food blog, I present to you a delicious coconut water fruit blend recipe.

Moral Development - Get it at Home or in School?

Hello world, how is everything going? I feel very uncomfortable because the weather here is terribly hot, worse; power supply has been as good as absent in the past few weeks. It is so frustrating. I would have thought that with the elections coming soon, there'll be an effort, even just for show, to improve the electricity/power distribution in the country. Unfortunately, the reverse is the case. I'm so upset, I'm going off point. Forgive me, please. I want to talk about something very different. Today, while in a cab, I was listening to the radio and there was a mention about schools being the place to infuse good morals in children and then a co-passenger objected saying that parents expecting the schools to do their work is just nonsense. Well, what do you think?

Pineapple - The Power fruit

picture from http://www.seriouseats.com

Hello guys, how are you doing? Have you been eating right lately? Maybe some of you started and then stopped, and maybe some others are still moving strong. I hope you belong to the latter group. I urge you to eat right, it's for your good. Starting early will help you avoid a lot of sicknesses that come with age and if you're among the older group, you should know you need to eat right because your body slows down on fighting many sicknesses, hence you need the boost from natural healthy foods. I'd like to share with you the health benefits of the power fruit; Pineapple.

A Simple Meat Pie Recipe


Greetings all! How was your weekend? Eventful, or relaxed? Whichever, I hope you enjoyed it. Today, from our food blog, I bring you a Nigerian meat pie recipe. Many people feel that making snacks is too tedious and time consuming, and so opt for buying most of their snacks from fast foods and restaurants. Well, this may be true for some snacks but I think we exaggerate the truth. I'm a simple, "fast to cook-food and snack" lover, so anything that sounds remotely stressful, I conclude that it's a "long thing", and don't bother learning it. However, lately, I have noticed that many of the recipes I avoided are not that bad, stress-wise. I'm certain that there are many others like me out there and I hope this simple meat pie recipe will convince you of my claim. It can be fun making your own food and snacks; you can explore with spices/ingredients and add a twist to make it your own and of course, save yourself lots of money. Let's quickly take a look at the recipe, shall we?

Emotions

Some of us have learned how dangerous emotions can be, if you let them control you. Emotions could put you to shame but even more dis...
