HOW TO EMBRACE YOUR CURVES.

-
Image
At one point in life or the other, we have all been self-conscious about how we look and how others perceive us. Hollywood has created this ridiculous stereotype that for you to be viewed as sexy, you have to fit a particular body type. I have started several workout programs after watching Beyoncé’ singing or watching a movie where the actress looked for ridiculously hot. Those programs did not last long because I was trying to look like someone else. Everybody is unique, just because you have curves does not mean you are unhealthy. I have been with people who I admire because they workout, they eat a healthy balanced diet but they also do not deny themselves that treat one’s in a while. They have curves, and they are proud of them because they are living a full, well-balanced life. Getting to the point where you accept yourself for who you are and live your best life is hard, but we are here to help with that. We came up with several tips to help you embrace your curves.

HOW I GAVE UP PROCESSED ADDED SUGAR

HOW I GAVE UP PROCESSED ADDED SUGAR About two months ago I was diagnosed with borderline hypertension. That was when it hit me that I was twenty-six years old and I could have high blood pressure. I had to make some changes and this time not dieting like I used to, I had to make lifestyle changes. The first thing that had to go from my diet: sugar. According to an article from the Harvard Health Publishing, throughout a study carried out for 15 years they realized that the participants who had about 25% of their daily calories as sugar were more than twice likely to die from heart disease than those whose daily sugar intake was about 10% added sugar. Life without sugar. I know it is boring, lifeless and with no color. Unimaginable. Yet it is doable. For about two months now, I have not been adding any sugar to my tea. My cousin who inspired me to quit sugar has been on a sugar-free spree for about two years now. I woke up one day and I decided that from then onward I will

MY BIRTHDAY POST: TRUST IN GOD [SIMPLEHAPPYSELF]

-

Proverbs Chapter 3 verse 5 & 6 says:   Trust the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight.  In all your ways acknowledge Him and do not rely on your own insights. The Most Important Lesson I have learned in my 20's: It's such a great day for me, it’s my birthday!!!! I AM TURNING A YEAR OLDER and I live in my aunt’s house in a small bedroom that used to be a store. I work every day at a job that pays less than my profession asks for, at a job that will end in three months then I am back out in the world with no job. All I own in this world are a laptop, a blanket and a pair of sheets and that's it. Those are all the reasons why I should be sad because I am growing older and I always thought I would be further in life. I always thought I would own more by now, be more. I am listing all this to show you that I am nowhere close to where I ever thought I would be by now but I am grateful. I am so grateful for all that has been handed to me

BODY POSITIVITY: SELF LOVE.

-
Image
I was always a little shy from a young age and I preferred to spend time alone than to spend time with people (I still do.) When my little brother was playing outside I was probably locked in my room with a book reading or drawing characters from my favorite stories. This did not make me fun to be around other kids who just wanted to play. I was never really super smart when I was young, nor I did not know my potential by then .And kids can be brutal when they are judging you, I was laughed at for my handwriting and for getting even the simplest answers wrong. I felt like I did not want to try, coz who cares right? Do not worry, when I went to a public school that attitude was whooped right out of my head and the importance of studying drummed into my brain. I thank God for those teachers who caned me into shape; I would be a useless nobody right now if not for them. Parents and teachers please do not quote me on that, I will deny it. Anyway, that is not the point in this

DEAR PRECIOUS YOU - WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT DURING COVID-19 [SIMPLEHAPPYSELF]

-
Image
I do not know about you but deep down I am scared. I am scared about what will happen to me, I am scared for my family, I am scared for my job security, I am scared for my country and most important of all I am scared for the whole human population. The Covid-19 came to us like a thief in the night, no warning, no time to prepare. One day we were fine and going about our businesses, a few weeks or months later everything changed. The bridges that we formed as a society were crossed. Nobody was safe anymore. Rich or poor. White or black. Babies or the young or the elderly Man or woman. Africa or the USA. We are all affected. Jobs closed. Countries locked down. Gatherings whether happy or sad shutdown. Churches, schools and places of worship are closed. At this moment, nobody knows what is going to happen to the world. We are all at the edge of our seats, waiting with baited breathe for it to blow over. I would love to wake up tomorrow and find

COME TO WORK WITH ME: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS I TOOK AGAINST COVID-19

Excitement fills each pore in my body as I get out of bed, another great day that the Lord has granted me. As usual, I wake at six o’clock and prepare to head to work. It is not a normal day like I am used to; even as I leave my house today I have to be careful. I have to stay on alert and take care of myself. With the corona virus spread around the world, finally, it has made its way into Kenya. I appreciate the government for taking very swift measures and encouraging those who can work from home to do so. Unfortunately, I fall into the category of people who cannot work from home. Even though I do not live hand to mouth where I depend on everyday wages, my job involves a lot of physical work where I have to be present and the inventory is too large and equipment too expensive to carry home. I appreciate my employer for considering my safety and dividing the number of people who have to report to work into three groups of seven people to reduce congestion and
