Girl vs Girl

I have often wondered why ladies are always so bitchy to each other. I still don't have an answer yet, I mean whatever happened to sisterhood? all that girls guide thingy? was it not supposed to be bonding of some sort? You walk on the street and ask directions from a fellow lady, she'll either give you the hand(I've always thought it's to show off a recent manicure trip or acquisition of new claws-how do they work with those excessively long nails that don't even allow you to close your hands when you're not Nicki Minaj-)or tell you in a very condescending manner to ask someone else. In very rare instances they give help. Why?  Sometimes I think this innate  competitive streak is taken to the extreme even if the person is not a direct threat in her hemisphere, a woman sees another lady and just concludes 'competition', no matter the age or social standing. Sometimes the need to have an edge is played out in the subconscious like in the picking of friends that you know you are more beautiful or attractive than, they act as contrasts to your own high points and you only get to find out about this when people keep telling you you're hotter than your friends and then the internal war arises- should i move onto more beautiful people like me? after all  beauty is attributed with class (although I've seen very poor exquisitely beautiful people) or should I stay with my friends and continue to be the reigning queen? How about when married ladies see every young girl as a threat? my neighbour then did not want me to greet her husband, the husband on his part made it a duty to undress me with his eyes every time he saw me, in retrospect, I wonder what he saw, I mean it's not as if I was well endowed per se, I had only nipples(that was the period i used to make my "oh Lord please give me big breasts" prayer. The man will smile stupidly and look for inane things to talk about, I used to think he was quite silly and wondered why the wife was always so nervous, it's not as if i wanted to take her silly ugly husband who did not look anything like the sheiks and prince charmings I'd been reading about in my 'Ghana must go' full of romance novels. Her nervousness and reaction was quite irritating and stupid to me though. If anything, shouldn't she have been trying to protect me from her lascivious husband? How about the cases of the abused little girl who reports dad/brother/uncle to aunty and aunty gives her the beating of her life and chooses to take uncle's side rather than the victim's? where is the sisterhood? Should I venture into the mother-in law/sister- in law treatment of the wife even though it is an all female cast?

Effective Facials.

So, my friend and I went to the beauty store to get toiletries and she decided to get some facial products to help her skin gain back its glow.  The girl at the counter started reeling off the products she needed and frankly speaking at a time I had to pinch my friend and tell her that these much cosmetics will end up killing the skin she was trying to revive.That wasn't the only problem, the prices were off the hook, gosh! they were so expensive. I mean do you need to rob a bank just to look wonderful? No! OF COURSE NOT.  Sometimes the readily available cheap stuff works just as well. This is where the fresh egg facial regiment comes in and it's so easy to do and very effective.Now, I know that when some people hear "home made recipe"they automatically go into the mind block it won't work zone but seriously some actually do work. I have tried this and it worked well for me. My uncle first brought it to my attention. How he got to know about it, i don't know but i know that when i started using it, it worked. So, here it is.

 First step is the exfoliation: to do this, you break a fresh egg, separate the yolk( the yellowish part)  from the albumin(the egg white) , if you're up to it, you can eat the yolk, however we're interested in the egg shell and albumin. Next, crush the egg shells into dust like finess and voila your scrub is ready. Use the scrub to exfoliate, if need be, you can add your normal face soap and wash off with water. The trick with exfoliating is; if you exfoliate, you have to mask in order to avoid break outs since your pores have been opened. Enter the albumin.  To mask: rub the albumin all over your face and leave on the face( overnight works as well) but if you're using it in the morning, 30 minutes is okay , then wash off the mask and you can visibly feel the difference. However, you don't have to exfoliate everyday before using the albumin mask. Twice a week exfoliation is good enough but the mask can be used everyday.

So, go ahead try it at least for a week and give me the feed back.
Enjoy.

cure for AIDS

The year is starting on a good note it seems. This time the good news is coming from the University of Benin,Nigeria where the Dean of school of basic medical sciences Prof. Isaiah Ibeh has announced the development of a new drug that might be able to finally conquer AIDS. Prof Ibeh informed reporters in Benin that the herbal drug had undergone a series o successful testings
He said “We are at the threshold of making history, in the sense that we seem to have with us something that will permanently take care of what over time seems to have defied all solutions. “We are talking about the latest discovery of an oral drug made from plants extraction in Nigeria for the possible cure of the pandemic, HIV and AIDS virus.’’ Research on the project was started in 2010 and culminated in the development of “Deconcotion X (DX)–Liquid or Bioclean 11 for the cure of HIV and AIDS”. “The existing retro-viral drugs are intervention drugs for the management of AIDS but our new discovery is a possible cure.

We have tried to look at the product first; its toxicological analysis and discovered that it has a large safety margin. “This means that if animals or human beings are exposed to it, they will not suffer any serious harm at all from the exposure. “It also helped us to know the quantity we can conveniently give to animals and will feel secure that nothing untoward will happen.

“We have also done the bacteriological analysis on it, after which we looked at its effect on the virus and the result was quite revealing and refreshing.” Ibeh also said that the drug had been exposed to series of medical examination both in Nigeria and in the USA. He added that the drug had performed well on patients with the HIV virus and had shown evidence of total restoration of damaged tissues.

“The result showed an increase in the body weight of the individual administered with DX. “The body weight was statistically significant when compared with the control group.” He said that further tests were being conducted to determine “at what point will a patient become negative after being administered the drug?”.

“This verification is necessary because it is what is used to measure whether infection is still there or not. So we need to know the siro-convention time. “But preliminary results showed that of the five latest patients orally administered with the drugs, our findings is that up to seven months , three of them were siro negative while two were still faintly positive.’’ Prof Ibeh has appealed for support from the Federal Government and relevant bodies to assist the university with relevant equipment to sustain the research.
