Been thinking. About how stress stresses us up (even the very notion of it). Ever wondered otherwise? Why situations and perceptions we hold on to as negative and detrimental could actually uplift us, and do us alot of good? Well, been thinking... tis true that no one likes to feel stressed, but mark you: sometimes the sensation is necessary. although we generally associate feelings of stress with negative health effects, truth is, benefits do exist when we experience stress, and, discovering them can serve to our advantage!! As you read on, remember that i dont endorse chronic stress, my my!!! stressful situations are virtually everywhere!! But believe it or not, our bodies are wired for stress. this internally built system that each and every one of us has, activates when we perceive a threat.

Pampering Your Skin Naturally - Essential!

Image
Did you know that your skin is your largest organ? Mmhmm, indeed so!(respect 😉) Then, your skin is your vastest barrier, fending off infections and other unpleasant stuff day in,  day out, and it is imperative that this barrier remain healthy, nourished and moist for it to be as effective as you would wish it to be, and more.  It also is your temperature regulator and on-point filter! And lots more other tasks...  .Well, it so happens that the skin cannot to all that work and still occupy itself with maintenance, you would agree with me 😉.

Found yourself either staring, or skimming through your wardrobes each time you got to get dressed and spruced up to step out your door for the occasion awaiting you, no matter how banal it may be, or even to stay indoors? The reflex has become involuntary, regardless of what sex, status, or background we identify with. However, how many of us really grasp the psychology of how people we meet, whether at school or in the office or anywhere else interprete our wardrobe choices, as well as how their interpretations could differ from the one we imagine we are portraying? Hm, interesting thought! Our choice of clothing bring to the fore our personalities,  be it plain and easy going, or sophisticated and refined!  Cooler and more sombre shades could depict a calmer and more posed disposition, while brighter colours could speak volumes of a bubbly and more optimistic outlook, don't you think? You sure would be a change maker or a trend setter if you try out bolder colours and sty

How To Manage Baldness!

For reasons scientists don't fully understand, sensitive follicles must be exposed to DHT for a prolonged period of time before the miniaturization process is complete. But what they have learned is that taking a drug that inhibits the binding of 5-alpha-reductase on testosterone can reduce the levels of DHT and thus slow or even stop the miniaturization process. There is such a drug and it's called Finasteride (sold as Propecia), the first of the three aforementioned treatment options. Finasteride blocks 70% of the conversion to testosterone to DHT. Men have been suffering from androgenetic alopecia, otherwise known as Male Pattern Baldness, since before the first coming of Christ. Did you know that even Julius Caesar was memorialized many times in stone with what was left of his hair combed forward, and a signature wreath covering his pate?  Receding hairlines and bald spots plague men of every race, creed, and status. But why? Understanding the underlying caus

YOU WOULDN’T LOOK AT BANANA FLOWERS THE SAME WAY AGAIN AFTER READING THIS…

Take a good look at that red oblong mass hanging at the tip of a banana bunch. Often, it goes unnoticed, the first part to be cut and thrown away when fragmenting a bunch of banana. But hey! The dark purple red blossom’s life saving properties are just mind blowing!
