This is the interior of my little house before did anything to it. As you can see it is utterly unpainted and was getting used as a cupboard space by the owners. I painted the walls, cabinets and ceiling, installed lighting fixtures.
There are rules about mold elimination—requiring a contractor who is certified to do that type of labor. It is because mould spores cannot be allowed to escape into the environment where they can unfold and trigger further well being hazard. Certified mould removal contractors even have tools that can decide if and where there is water from a leak with out tearing out the walls or ceiling.
Being collectively and close to the hospital is so vital to these families. One mom shared her appreciation for the nurses who knew she was staying on the House. They would send her back to the House to sleep, promising to call the second her kid's doctor stepped off the elevator. She could get relaxation and still return at a moment's discover to be there whereas the doctors examined her youngster. RMHC actually relieves stress for households who're already emotionally and bodily exhausted, serving to them cope during their kid's sickness.
I was there as soon as in around i would say 2006 or 2007, principally watch you see is a delapitated building where somebody or a gaggle has spray painted some satanic crap on the walls it is pretty much damaged down. I suppose there is an odd feeling if you end up inside but I grant that to the constructing just being so outdated with the smells and the previous tales the thoughts begins to wonder. Its about the one outdated mansion constructed within the model for the 20's which is a bit overwhelming in right this moment's standards. Eh it is a wreck both needs to be reworked or tore down. Presently when I drive by I simply see an eyesore on 15 acres of land.
I'm sorry. Maybe that is my oh-so-artsy eye here but I simply love the way these look, particularly when on slate. I imply. You guys. It does not take much to make your unfold appear like it hopped proper out of a gourmet meals magazine. I promise. Not kidding you. I form are inclined to consider you would place anything on a slate or picket board and you've got mechanically upgraded no matter you're presenting. It's true.

|Desk Organiser in Use!
Background: This is the students second print, using Tinkercad as a design project. The student was assisted by other students who had produced work from the classroom and was looking to refine her design to produce an object that was useable and achieved the purpose of creating a pencil desk organiser.
Level of Difficulty - This was medium - the issue was the lettering/font that went with the shape. The basic design was a default design from Tinkercad from the main interface. Once the shape had been measured and identified the only issue was the stretching of of the shape.
Size: 8cmx10cm with a height of 10cm.
Timeframe: Nine Hours on a regular print setting with a 8mm nozzle.
|Viewed from Above
Process: As with nearly everything else on site the student used Tinkercad which was then converted into a Cura 2.6 file, and then printed on regular settings with an Ultimaker 2+ Printer. (as noted on previous posts the previous nozzle was 4mm and we are now printing on a regular basis with a 8mm nozzle which is having a considerable and positive influence on the print times of the projects the students are working on.
What we would do differently: The student was extremely pleased with the print so much so she insisted on using the object even though it hadn't met the design brief. The student has every intention of repeating the process, this time with the lettering embedded into the print.

If your ISP has put a bandwidth limit on your account it would need to be removed by them. Nothing you are able to do on our side will increase the speed if they are limiting you.
Check the speed and duplex settings if possible on your network card and on the router LAN connections. If there is a mismatch, your throughput will be reduced. Are you seeing any differences on upload vs download speeds? ISP's typically limit the upload speeds for most residential accounts. It costs more to have a symmetric speed line as those are typically used by businesses and home office users.
Try some of the following network speed test websites. Numion is one I use frequently.

There is a feeling isolated when you set foot on this island. Once treated to a trip along the ocean blue sea, you will be faced with gently sloping white sand beaches. Unfolds before the eyes of some vegetation: banyan tree, bamboo, is also hibiscus flowers and orchids. The more you walk, smell the flowers were even clearer.
Think of it as a welcome from Hateruma Island, Yaeyama Islands, Japan. It is a tropical nuances of Japanese territory.
All seemed to blend the natural beauty of the island. When looking at the open sea, shades of light blue and light blue seemed a stark contrast. The blue color is produced by one more sunny skies, with white clouds floating in the air. No sound, no resorts, no restaurants, no beach party, and without the crowds.
No wonder Hateruma was asked as the most beautiful island in Japan. Hateruma was ordered to get into the 501 Must-Visit Islands Bounty Books version.
Although it did not appear at all the life, the island also has a population Hateruma. They gathered in the center of the island, the majority of fishermen. Some of them are also gardening cane, and produce alcoholic beverages named Awanami high economic value.

Is it old Colonial blankets, usually white background with blue, black or red wool pattern and large, large designs? A corner box with the weaver's initials and a date.They bring to mind an image of early residents of colonial America and also the British Colonies, later to be called Upper and Lower Canada.
They were functional, practical and pretty. They could also be made entirely in the colonies with materials to hand. We use cotton for warp today but some early coverlets had a fine grist plied lynsey-woolsley for warp.
I'm not going to delve too deeply into the history of Colonial textiles here today but if this topic really intrigues you, then I recommend this book: The Age of Homespun: Objects and Stories in the Creation of an American Myth by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich.
It mainly covers the American colonies, but shows the importance of textile manufacturing to the colonists and the value of their tools and equipment. They were listed in household estate accounts as assets No new bride could be married without her dowry of spinning wheel, loom, shuttles and such. These tools were passed down from one woman to another, but always listed as belonging to the husband or the master of the house.
It is thought that overshot was brought over from Europe with the early arrivals to the New Land. Settlers brought many ideas and tools with them and adapted them to the new life here. With a colder climate and long winters, overshot blankets meant you had a thick stable cloth, woven on four shafts, that kept the sleeper warm and also served as a decorative bed covering.
If the topic of these historical coverlets interests you, then I recommend the amazing twenty five year study by Helene Bresse: The Coverlet Book. There is a good review of these two large volumes at the link.

The pleura is a thin serous membrane which folds back onto itself to form a two-layered, membrane structure which covers the lungs and lines the chest wall. The outer pleura that lines the inner surface of the chest cavity is called parietal pleura. While the inner membrane that covers the surface of lungs and other adjoining structures, i.e. blood vessels, bronchi and nerves is called visceral pleura.
The thin space between the two layers is known as the pleural cavity (pleural space). This cavity normally contains a small amount of pleural fluid which acts as a lubricant as the lungs expand and contract during respiration, preventing friction between the surfaces. If excessive amount of fluid accumulates in the pleural cavity, Pleural Effusion may develop. It is commonly known as "water on the lungs."
The parietal pleura is highly sensitive to pain; the visceral pleura is not, because it receives no nerves of general sensation.
The Pleural fluid is constantly being formed through leakage of fluid from nearby capillaries and then re-absorbed by the body's lymphatic system. Anything that causes an imbalance between production and reabsorption of pleural fluid can lead to development of a pleural effusion
There are two major classifications of pleural effusion:
- Transudative effusions, where the excess pleural fluid is low in protein; and
- Exudative effusions, where the excess pleural fluid is high in protein.
The two types of fluid are very different, and which type is present can help physicians determine what sort of disease produced the effusion.
Almost any type of cancer can cause pleural effusion. The most common and leading cause of this condition is lung cancer.
As mentioned above, if excessive amount of fluid accumulates in the pleural cavity, it may lead to pleural effusion. If cancer cells are present in this fluid, it is called Malignant Pleural Effusion.

The Straight Razor Project
The fourth week of the #StraightRazorProject I was making good progress with shaving both sides of my face, jaw line and the neck shaving was getting a lot smoother with less irritation. I decided it was time to add my chin and upper lip to my shaving routine. Pulling the skin tight on my chin was a little on the difficult side. I tried a couple of different angles for shaving on my chin trying to accomplish as smooth as shave as possible. Shaving straight down with a 10-15 degree angle seemed like the right degree and angle but still caused a lot of irritation. I tried stretching the skin in different directions but had no success. I was removing hair from my chin but with a lot of irritation at the end. I thought there had to be a better way to shave my chin. I also chalked it up to inexperience.
When I first started shaving with a safety razor I had a lot of irritation on different parts of my face and head that now are not so much of problem areas for me. I've gained enough experience with a safety razor that I can shave and not have a lot of irritation as long as I pay close attention to what I'm doing. With wet shaving or traditional shaving you are always learning. The experience you gain only improves your shaving routine to the next level and allows you to share your experience with others. I knew if I kept trying on my
chin it would only get better. After a couple of days I tried a different angle that proved to be very successful in terms of less irritation. Instead of shaving straight down I tried shaving in a downward angle on the first pass and then on the second pass I continued to shave straight down. This different angle caused less irritation and the only part of my chin that I still have a problem with is on the very bottom. I'm sure with a little bit of practice I'll get that part as well.
I also added my upper lip to my shaving routine and boy that's a sensitive area to shave. I've noticed that the hair on my upper lip is more coarse than the hair on the rest of my face. The upper lip is also harder for me to shave since it's a much narrower area. It's also very hard to stretch the skin of my upper lip to get a smooth shave. I also tried shaving at more of an angle instead of straight down. This different angle was a little smoother and less irritating. I shaved my chin and upper lip separately the first couple of times and then lathered both areas up at once and completed one full shave with two to three passes. At the end of week four I'm shaving all parts of my face but not in one pass. I'm still lathering each part separately, completing the shave and then moving on to the next part. In week five I will start to merge all parts of my face together into one shave with multiple passes. Love your products and you will love the results. Thank you and have a #Baldtastic day!

Critical Linking: September 21, 2014
Slow reading means a return to a continuous, linear pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. Advocates recommend setting aside at least 30 to 45 minutes in a comfortable chair far from cellphones and computers. Some suggest scheduling time like an exercise session. Many recommend taking occasional notes to deepen engagement with the text.
Reading daily is good for you (with a side of technology-is-killing-our-ability-to-think).
Wonder Woman is the most popular female comic-book superhero of all time. Aside from Superman and Batman, no other comic-book character has lasted as long. Generations of girls have carried their sandwiches to school in Wonder Woman lunchboxes. Like every other superhero, Wonder Woman has a secret identity. Unlike every other superhero, she also has a secret history.
The fascinating history and origin story of Wonder Woman.
Young adult novels externalise evil as an enemy that can be seen and understood. They give teenagers a Lord Voldemort, a monster that can be defeated, an evil that can be vanquished. But increasingly the evil in young adult fiction is the adult world itself. In the Hunger Games it's an adult world of political and economic repression. In Divergent it's an adult world that demands conformity, at the expense of the individual. In The Maze Runner it's an adult world that has escalated to such technological complexity that we are all lost within it. And increasingly, it's not just teenagers that need allegorical warnings against adult reality, but adults themselves.
This is a nice piece on why (sci-fi) Young Adult fiction is loved by kinds of readers, not just teenagers. . . and why that's just fine.
How about some amazing Roald Dahl inspired cakes?

Adding 128mb of swap just pushes the problem back and > slows down the entire phone. Slowing down is clearly better than instant crashing. How ever any early warning system for low memory looks, it can not guarantee it will be able to fix thing before mem runs out. This is also true with swap, but much much less probable. Can you answer al call? I don't know - probably. Besides, i can live with bad service while my phone is recovering from a nearby crash. And just imagine. Your phone is in a fragile low memory state, and a call comes in and the phone app needs to be launched. Everything great? Sure not. No matter how. Though i don't think it will suffer too much from swapping. If i need to, i will test this too. And you are talking like i like to use the swap all the time. No! I just want it to be there before it is to late in case memory gets low. Regards Tilman

When users visit a web page, browsers like Chrome check the content that's loaded to see if any part of it is potentially dangerous. When it detects a problem, the browser shows a warning, alerting users that content from a site we've identified as being malicious is being loaded. In many cases, we'll also flag the original site as malicious, which alerts the webmaster and helps to protect potential users.
There are situations where the currently viewed site is not flagged on our Safe Browsing list, but users still see a warning in the browser. In this case, that site may have attempted to load content from a different website, one that is known to contain malicious content. We call this a cross-site warning. In Chrome, this is denoted with a browser interstitial with the following graphic:
If this occurs for your site, the first thing we recommend is locating and removing the reference to the domain that is triggering the browser warning. The warning tells you the domain of the questionable content, and after removing content from that domain your page should no longer trigger the warning. Additionally, you may find more details in the Security Issues section in Search Console. Keep in mind that the malware status of your website can change over time as our systems scan pages from your website.
However, if you discover that a page on your site has been including content from a flagged site without your knowledge, the problem is more serious and your site has most likely been compromised.

The king of Wu, boating on the Yangtze, stopped to climb a mountain noted for its monkeys. When the pack of monkeys saw him, they dropped what they were doing in terror and scampered off to hide in the deep brush. But there was one monkey who, lounging about nonchalantly, picking at things, scratching, decided to display his skill to the king. When the king shot at him, he snatched hold of the flying arrows with the greatest nimbleness and speed. The king thereupon ordered his attendants to hurry forward and join in the shooting, and the monkey was soon captured and killed. The king turned to his friend Yen Pu-i and said, "This monkey, flouting its skill, trusting to its tricks, deliberately displayed its contempt for me - so it met with this end. Take warning from it! Ah - you must never let your expression show arrogance toward others! "Arrogance typically leads to some sort of downfall. When a person becomes to full of himself, he tends to behave carelessly and carelessness leads down the path of ruin.
When Yen Pu-i returned, he put himself under the instruction of Tung Wu, learning to wipe the expression from his face, to discard delight, to excuse himself from renown - and at the end of three years everyone in the state was praising him.

Suprising Uses of Dudu Osun Soap
Hi all,
On to the story for today. I needed to wash my make-up brushes (which we should all do. Check my post out here on why). I did postpone this however because I felt I needed a special cleaning fluid or something to get them clean. I then had a light bulb moment AKA an "ah ha" moment.
The times I've previously used Dudu Osun on my face (which is now very infrequently as I've found it to be a bit too strong for my face) it removes every single trace of make-up. Literally every single thing. No mascara, eyeliner, nothing. I then thought if it could do such a good job on my face, how much more my make-up brushes.
Conclusion = It .was. amazing.
My brushes haven't been cleaner and I exaggerate not. I wish I had taken before and after shots of the brushes. This idea has therefore brought about this post.
So in no particular order, what are some not too typical uses of Dudu Osun (or just any brand of black soap) soap.
- Cleaning your face
This isn't a contradiction. It is still a great cleanser, just a very strong one. But it will rid your skin of any make up and is 100% natural, a great bonus
- Cleaning your body
This is my favourite use by far. I love the earthy smell, the lather and I love that I feel "clean" afterwards. Please note the suds are brown (because the soap is brown and not actually black). This can stain your bath/shower.
- Washing your make up brushes
I wet the soap. I then wet my brushes and swiped them across the soap two or three times. I then worked the soap into the brush head on my palm. The colour of the suds while doing this proves how good it is at getting the make-up off. Then proceed to rinsing the brushes afterwards with some water then leave them to dry.
- Washing your hair
Dudu Osun soap is a great alternative to shampoo. When I do use it, I like to just rub the bar of soap across my scalp. Having your hair parted can be quite helpful. I then proceed to work the soap into my scalp, as you would with normal shampoo. Then rinse your hair as normal.
- As a shaving cream/lotion
I am not a regular shaver as epilating is my preferred hair removal method. The few times when a shave is required, Dudu Osun is a very good shaving cream lotion. I will simply wet the bar of soap and lather it up between my hands. I will then spread the soap lather on the part that requires a shave (usually the legs). I will then proceed to shave carefully and voila!
The packaging of Dudu Osun has changed slightly and the soap now comes wrapped a little plastic wrap. This did also list some interesting uses so I took a picture and added it in below. It, unfortunately, does not provide instructions on how to use the soap for these great suggestions.
I still use Dudu Osun but have been trying out a few other brands of black soap. Admittedly they don't differ a great deal and still do the same job.
Have you used Dudu Osun or any other black soap for any of the purposes suggested below? Let me know.

Enjoy Your Season
I passed my driving test in October 2014. I've been blessed to have been driving since then. Driving is great, really great. It allows you to leave home and your destination a bit later than if you were catching a bus/train/underground. Driving is enjoyable and gives me a lot of freedom.
HOWEVER, driving is an expensive habit. I call it an expensive luxury. I now have to think about insurance, MOT, road tax, changing my car tyres periodically, buying fuel, getting the car washed, keeping the car clean, avoiding a ticket, paying toll charges. To be honest, I am still figuring new things that I need to look after, service or pay for. The list goes on and on and on.
There was also a time I couldn't drive. My only concern then was to buy my travel ticket or top up my oyster and plan my journey with TFL journey planner or Google Maps. I didn't have to think about insurance or petrol or MOT. I could wile away my journey/commute lost in a book (one of my favourite things to do btw) or listening to music. I didn't have to pay attention to the road, or the route. The driver get paid to do that. It was however more imperative that I left the house on time to avoid missing the train that came twice an hour. I was also at mercy of delays or cancellations to trains/buses.
I've said all that to remind you to enjoy your season. There are always positives to the current season and in the case of my driving, the season of not being able to drive is a one time season and once its gone, you can't get it back. OF course you can still use public transport but you catch my drift.
Just some musings. Do you agree?

African Immigrants and a Dying Culture
I am a second generation African immigrant. That means my mum and dad are the first generation of Africans (in my family anyway) to emigrate from their home country. Being a second generation African is not unique to me and is the story of several other people in and around my age bracket, the "millennial" generation. I do feel that being a 2nd generation African puts me (and others in my position) in a somewhat precarious situation.
I identify with being a Nigerian of Yoruba origin. I understand however I might not be able to completely fit in with my fellow people given the fact I haven't grown up in Nigeria.
I also identify with being British given that I was born here and have grown up here. I do know however that to the average third generational English man or woman, (although I may be born here) I'm not really British. It's a question I'm often asked at work, "Where do you REALLY come from?"👀
Where do I fit? As I thought about this question I realised a lot of people are faced with same question. It may be you are from different parts of the country I.e. Your mother is from Delta state and your dad is from Ogun state (both in Nigeria). It may be a continental thing I.e. your mum is from Ghana and Dad is from South Africa. It may be an emigration thing (my example fits here).
Can we really identify with a particular culture? Is it being born in a specific place that makes you a member of that culture or your ancestry? Now we can trace our ancestry with a simple swab test. Surprisingly enough – most people are not 100% of anything in particular anyway, which makes things EVEN more confusing.
I watched this video and it was eye-opening. I haven't reached a conclusion yet, still thinking it over. What do you think?

Father's day Gift Ideas for the Modern African dad
I've consistently found my dad is the hardest person to buy any type of gift, regardless of the occasion. I guess because he is a rather simplistic guy and is satisfied by the more "serious" things in life. I imagine most other African dads (or dads in general) are similar to mine in this respect. Anyway over time, with LOTS of trial and error, we've been able to figure out gifts my dad will tend to like and so I've decided to share some of those ideas. They may help anyone else who is also struggling to pick a gift for their African dad.
In no particular order;
- Sports related gifts (Mainly football)
African dads tend to be the same in their love of football so gifts related to this tend to be winners. A good gift we were able to choose was a stadium tour and this way probably the best gift we got my dad till date. This may include a football jersey, tickets to a match, there are loads of options for sports related gifts.
- Personalised Gifts
Personalised gifts tend to be a winner with everyone no less African dads. I think the key is buying something that will be functional or goes alongside a hobby/interest e.g. a football jersey with his name printed, personalised stationary, a personalised number plate ( if your account can stretch that far).
- Clothing items
These tend to be more practical than "fun" but you can never have enough socks, cufflinks or shirts. Obviously, ensure to choose something your dad would wear/use or you may end up buying him something that he will use to decorate his wardrobe. So if your dad is not the tie wearing type, it may be wise to avoid buying him this. He will say thank you but he will probably never use it.
- Sentimental gifts
Sentimental gifts are always meaningful and are usually highly valued even if they don't cost that much money. These may include old pictures revamped in a new frame, a painting of a picture or a photograph on a canvas or something that captures or reminds him of a special time. The options are endless and will depend on what your pops likes/needs
- The gift of service
It is not a must you have to buy a gift. Acts of service may be just as or even more meaningful as a gift you've purchased. Maybe your dad enjoys a special meal that you don't prepare very often – make that. Maybe your dad has been mentioning he needs his phone fixed or needs some new shoes – do that. Dads are human beings too and acts of service are a thoughtful way to say you care.
- Destination gifts
This is obviously if you can afford it. Dads need to relax too and the spa is a great place to relax. You can book him a spa day or a massage. Some of the stress you give him can be alleviated this way. A holiday/ weekend getaway is also great (if you can afford of course).
- Hobby /Personal interest related gifts.
This will come from studying your father and knowing the things he likes and dislikes. My father is a book lover and so books are always a safe winning option. I also have been able to identify the type of genre of books he will read. This has come from simply studying him and looking at the books he tends to read. This has helped me streamline my gift buying to things I know he will definitely use and find useful.
These are some ideas I was able to come up with. Do you have some more ideas? Share them below

Things I Hate About Being Late
This topic right here, it is slyly the story of my life. I think a lot of people (especially black people) can relate to this. I have racked my brain for a starting point or a particular event that has brought about about such a lax attitude to punctuality and unfortunately I can't think of one.
This post was inspired by this video I watched on YouTube. I've linked it below ⬇
So in no particular order, here are some of the things I hate about being late;
1. Having to prepare a credible argument/excuse for why you are late – this is figured out while still on the way to the destination. Excuses may range from oversleeping, to missing the bus, traffic on the way or another valid excuse.
2. Missing the beginning of the event – especially when it's an event you have been looking forward to. For me this used to be the praise and worship part of the Sunday church service at my church at university. I LOVE praise and worship and hated missing it (obviously not enough though or I would have been earlier)
3. Sprinting/power walking to catch the train or other mode of transport to get to where you are trying to be – you give it your all to catch the said mode of transport, especially the train/bus that will help you scrap "on time". If you miss it, there is no hope for even scraping on time.
4. Trying to cram the morning routine into 5/10 minutes – this tends to happen after oversleeping or when the alarm doesn't go off. The morning routine which would normally take 30/45 minutes is crammed into 5/10 minutes. This is not an easy thing to do and involves aspects of the routine being omitted or being done on the way to the destination.
5. Feeling bad as you give yourself a telling off for being late AGAIN – you always scold yourself that it will not repeat itself again. Until the next time….
6. The knowing stares when you have to walk into an event late – especially when everyone else was on time. In these situations, it is advisable to perch QUIETLY at the back of the room to remain as inconspicuous as possible.
7. Having notoriety among friends for being repeatedly late
9. Feeling a great sense of achievement when you FINALLY get to a place early or on time – it is possible. Takes a lot of planning but it is definitely possible.

Book of the Month (March 2017)
When this book was first released, it was surrounded by a lot of buzz and still is. I was curious about the life and story of Toke Makinwa so I decided to read the story. The book for the month of March 2017 is On Becoming by Toke Makinwa.
Credit to Linda Ikeji's blog for the image
Credit to Amazon for this image
The book is a biography about Toke Makinwa's life up to this point. She talks about her life experiences from childhood, the tragic loss of her parents and the breakdown of her very famous and public marriage. She uses her story to share key lessons on life and relationships in a candid way.
The Book's Description
Toke never envisaged that she would be a successful media personality. She began her journey as a bubbly child but grew into a lonely teenager after the devastating loss of both her parents. For so long after, it seemed as though she would never find herself.
On Becoming is the real Toke Makinwa telling us what it is like to be one of the most talked about celebrities in Nigeria. She reveals the truth behind her 14-year relationship with the man she finally married. A marriage that ended
in an atrocious scandal that nearly brought her to her knees.
In the wake of the peaks and troughs that characterise Toke's experiences, she now shares her struggle with blinding betrayal, finding forgiveness and drawing strength from her faith in God.
On Becoming is Toke's journey through pain to victory.
It was interesting to get to know a bit about the person behind the name. Toke Makinwa is a private person so although she is a socialite, there isn't that much we know about her apart from the information she has made available about herself. I found the parts she shared about her childhood and about her parent's very open and honest.
I also appreciated her honesty in sharing the things she did about her marriage relationship because some of the things she shared are things that are very private and people would often want to remain that way.
I would have liked to know more about her career journey to success. As I touched on earlier, Toke Makinwa is someone that is private and only shares things about herself that she wishes to. I feel there would be a lot of useful knowledge to glean from her career story. Although she did touch on it very slightly when she talks about staying in London for some time, she doesn't really explore this more.
At times, it felt it little like the story jumped from one topic to another, kind of losing us on the way there.
- Do not ignore the red flags! While reading Toke's story, it became clear there were behavioural patterns that were repeatedly displayed by Maje. It would have saved Toke a lot of heart ache had she have paid attention to the flags.
- Do unto others as you would have them do to you – from Toke's account of her experience, it doesn't appear as though Maje considered Toke's feelings much. I am apprehensive to completely say that because there are always two sides to a story and we have not heard Maje's side. It may completely flip the script.
- Love is powerful and very addictive – love clearly can make a person do things they wouldn't have dreamt possible. Toke shares how she started using creams to lighten her skin to make her appeal more to her then spouse
- In the multitude of counsellors there is safety – Toke shares that a number of people warned her about her relationship with Maje and went as far as to say even his own sister warned her. There is definitely truth to the scripture in Proverbs 11:14.
Hope you enjoyed my review; do let me know if you read it yourself

Ways to save money
This year for me is a year to maximise my savings (I pray). Money is important for a lot of useful things so any way to save more money sounds like music to my ears. As such I've decided to share some of the tips I've tried (and will be trying) to stack up my money.
1. Do NOT buy on impulse – we all know that impulse shopping is a bad idea. We end up buying things we don't need and will never use on impulse. Give it a few minutes (or longer) consideration before you drop the money.
2. Consider if you really need the item you are purchasing – is it a NECESSITY at this time to get red shoes if you have 2 pairs already? I am guilty of this, especially going to the supermarket and buy food that has appealed to my eyes but was not on my list to buy.
3. Can you get it for a cheaper price somewhere else? Price comparison websites are especially good for this.
4. Consider saving up towards the item you really want – this makes big purchases less impactful. For example you want to buy a £200 bag, it will be easier (or won't affect your money as much) to save £50 a month for four months rather than take out £200 at one go. It may be when you come to buy the item, it may even be on sale 🙌
5. Cut your coat according to your size – if you are living on a student loan, it likely isn't wise to spend like a celebrity😂 just stop. If you like the finer things you may need to save or get good looking duplicates.
6. Review your trolley/basket before you pay – when I go shopping (both online and in store) I often pick things without always thinking. Reviewing at the till means you can get rid of the extra stuff you don't really need. Extra tip – I learnt recently that certain websites may give you an extra discount if they see you have an item in your basket and have not yet paid for it.
7. Remember the store/website you are shopping with are trying to extract as much as they can from your pocket, don't give it away without a fight! The area around the till is lined with sweets and chocolate you never planned to buy. Always remember the big supermarket bosses don't care about your budget, it's your job to.
8. Check out Topcashback – I only just recently found out about this but it is such a great idea. If you are shopping online, all you need to do is to go on the Topcashback website first, then go to your website through them. You earn a percentage back of whatever you purchased. The best part is it doesn't cost you any extra.🙌
9. Pack a lunch instead of buying one – this is one everyone already knows but when you look at the amount of money you can save, making lunch at home quickly becomes the more economical option.
10. Have a BUGDET- budgets are amazing simply because they allow you to see what money you have coming in and going out. However much you intend to save should be decided at the time you budget, to ensure you can actually afford it. I actually blogged about it here
11. Lock your savings away – this makes them harder to get to which means you're less likely to spend them in an "emergency".
Hope you find these tips helpful

Timeless skincare tips
Skincare is a riddle. Sometimes your skin is ever fleeky and other times it refuses to co-operate. I was having one of these non co-operation moments recently and so I decided to go back to skincare basics.
1. Wash your hands BEFORE they go anywhere near your face
I think we can sometimes forget how easy it is to pick up germs and grime on your hands. From touching the bus handle to picking up your phone on the floor, there are germs absolutely everywhere. It would be highly risky to then take those hands to your face. Who knows what kind of spots you may end up with?
2. Wash your face twice daily
Washing your face in the morning is to remove any sweat from your sleep and washing before bed is to remove any grime from the day. I would say washing your face before bed is of great importance.
3. Take off any makeup PROPERLY before bed
A makeup wipe alone doesn't really cut it in my humble opinion. After reading an article where the woman used makeup wipes and checked her skin afterwards using some skin microscope or something, she noticed some of the wipes only moved the makeup around her face. A great makeup remover is coconut oil (will talk more about this later).
4. Regular face masks are benefical
Once or twice a week for a face mask is a good amount. Regular face masks are a preventative thing by removing any deeply seated dirt, oil or whatever else. Keep in mind there are a whole host of face masks that deal with various things, so it may be wise to choose one that addresses your skin need at the time.
5. Wash your makeup brushes
Again for the same reason that grime can get stuck in things that are not regularly washed, your brushes can harbour germs and bacteria. When you now use those brushes to apply your make-up, you push germs deep into your skin, which may lead to very painful spots. I learnt the hard way that this is key.
6. See a professional
I am a big advocate for professional help, especially if you've tried all you can. I blogged about it here. Professionals have been trained in this and so will have some knowledge you don't. Professional facials are important too, I would recommend this every few months.
7. Drink water
Water is one of those things we know to be good for us but we never get enough of. Water facilitates the process of detoxification in the body and so drinking plenty of water will help to ensure this process is not hindered.
Hope these tips are helpful
Until next time

Book of the month: January 2017
As you may or may not know, I am an avid reader though I haven't read as much as I would have liked to over the last few months. With that being said, I've decided to start reading more and sharing with you what I've read in case in turns out you are looking for a good book too.
The book of the month for the month of January is "The Smart Money Woman: by Arese Ugwu
This was such a great book. It gives very practical financial tips in a way that is easy to relate to. It is a book I envision I will read over more than once though the first time I read it, the story was so interesting, I just wanted to find out what would happen.
It is a fictional story about a lady called Zuri who finds herself in a precarious financial position after a bit too much enjoying and not enough budgeting. We follow her story alongside a few of her friends as they learn valuable financial lessons that in turn improve their financial status.
The book's description;
Meet Zuri. She's living a fabulous life. Great car, gorgeous apartment, well paid job.
Meet Zuri. Broken down car, an apartment she cant afford, a job she's about to lose.
What's a broke girl to do?
With her best friends Tami (the flighty fashion designer), Lara (the tough oil and gas executive), Adesuwa (the conservative lawyer), and Ladun (the fabulous housewife), Zuri grows a little, learns a lot and navigates her way to making better financial decisions and building wealth.
This book tackles, debt, spending, the consumerist culture of the African middle class, the fear and misconceptions surrounding money and the lack of it, love, friendships, cultural and societal pressures and the roles they play in success. With each chapter comes a Smart Money Lesson, there to help you work your way up the financial ladder.
I liked that the author used a fictional (and quite interesting) story to help paint her picture and I also liked how the author has used the fiction to weave in key financial lessons which makes the book interesting and educational without being boring.
I think it does a great job of articulating key financial principles and is a great book for anyone who is taking an interest in financial education.
My only criticism is the way the story ends, which I felt was a bit sad. But given that I am a sucker for happy endings, this is probably why I think I felt this way.
I would have also liked more practical information on the investing portion, especially as a newbie investor. Some of information did seem geared to people who live and work in Nigeria which is fine, only that those of us across the pond want to invest too!
I think an accompanying workbook to go along with the story would be great.*UPDATE * An accompanying workbook is actually in the pipelines.
- Just because you have a well paid job, doesn't mean you will automatically be wealthy. That takes some planning and money management

Bobbin' Around
each pattern has a pricking, printed on (usually) blue cardstock and pinned to the lace pillow, that shows the placement of pins and direction of work; and the "directions" - a term I use very loosely. For Naia's butterfly lace piece, the entire directions look like this - Helpful, yes?
Here's the pattern for my fan and spider lace - It does have some written instructions, but for the most part they say 'follow the diagram'. The scary part is that, with a little instruction when I started this piece, I almost understand what I'm supposed to do. With lots and lots of unlacing when things don't go the way I almost thought they should.
The latest additions to the pillow collection - a roller pillow by Simon Toustou of Canada, in burgundy and walnut, with three nice deep drawers. And a small travel pillow with interchangeable block, roller and circle for working different types of lace. I bought this one for Naia, but it's too small for her to work on comfortably. Hope she's happier with the cookie pillow I ordered for her last night.

ATHENS, Ohio– Ohio softball senior pitched Danielle Stiene, has been named the Mid-American Conference East Pitcher of the Week for the fourth-straight week, the league announced today.
It is the fifth time this season that Stiene has earned the honor.
Stiene (Loveland, Ohio) once again led the Bobcats in the circle, going 3-0 on the week and helping the Bobcats go 3-1 and improving them to 15-2 in MAC play. Overall, Stiene recorded a 1.12 ERA in 25.0 innings. She allowed four runs on 16 hits, walked six and struck out 24 batters that she faced. In three complete games, she registered two shutouts while opponents only hit .178 against her.
On April 18 at Ohio State, Stiene was dominate in the circle. She pitched all seven innings, where she did not allow a run on five hits. She only walked one batter and struck out eight of the 28 batters that she faced in Ohio's 7-0 victory. The win at Ohio State was the first time since 2014 that the Bobcats defeated Ohio State and the first time since 1997 that the Bobcats downed the Buckeyes in Columbus.
Stiene returned to the circle on April 20 at Miami. In the game, Stiene once again got the start, pitching all seven innings, allowing four runs on five hits and struck out eight batters in Ohio's 10-4 victory. Stiene returned to the circle for the second game of the series, pitching 11 shutout innings, allowing no runs on six hits, walked three and struck out eight batters in the 1-0 victory, keeping Stiene's record perfect in MAC play.
The Bobcats are back in action today (April 24) against Marshall. First pitch is set for 5 p.m. at the Ohio Softball Field. Ohio will then wrap up their home portion of the schedule this weekend against Buffalo April 27-28.

Canadian GP 2013
Race Report - Runaway Seb
Sebastian Vettel ran away to win the Canadian Grand Prix.
He started on the pole in his Red Bull, took the lead immediately and held it for all but three of the race's 70 laps. He dominated the day with his only errors being brushing the wall once and running wide off the track once.
"I was pushing very hard, especially at the beginning of the race," he said. "I had a moment when I hit the wall, but I didn't feel it. I was trying to get away from the field, as you don't know what will happen towards the end. It turned out that we could control things in the later stages, but you don't know that, so I was just trying to push all the time and stay in the rhythm. It was good to see that we were quick in all conditions this weekend and had speed in the race. We had average tire wear, which hasn't always been the case for us, so we have made a step forward there."
Lewis Hamilton started second in his Mercedes and held on to the spot for most of the afternoon. He led those three other laps when Vettel made his first pit stop at the end of lap 16.
Vettel would pit at the end of lap 49 for another set of Pirelli tires but by then his lead was 18 seconds and he easily kept the lead.
After all the complaining from some people that there are too many pit stops, Montreal was a one or two stop race.
Fernando Alonso was relentless in his Ferrari. From sixth on the grid he fought his way forward past Nico Rosberg (Mercedes), Mark Webber (Red Bull) and finally took second from Hamilton with seven laps to go.
"At the end of an extremely complicated weekend, this second place tastes like a win, because we were competitive and managed to fight with the front running drivers," Alonso said. "You never feel in danger with them, because, even wheel to wheel at 320 kilometers per hour, they have the necessary intelligence and experience to know to leave a margin of safety. The overtaking moves on the two Mercedes had an almost identical dynamic, although maybe the pass on Hamilton was more intense because we were running at the same pace, while with Rosberg, I knew it was only a matter of the laps going by, thanks to the advantage of having the medium tires, while he was on the super soft. In terms of points this is a great result: now we only have Vettel ahead of us, who was untouchable here and deserved the victory."
Hamilton was faster than teammate Rosberg all weekend but not as fast as the two cars that finished in front of him.
"The car felt fantastic today and I had good grip for the low-speed corners but we just weren't quite on the pace of Seb and Fernando," Hamilton said. "I was on the maximum that I could possibly drive and we got absolutely everything out of the car today. It would have been nice to have kept second place of course but Fernando was very quick today and it was difficult to keep him behind. I got close to taking the place back but he was just that little bit too fast."
Webber made a solid start to move from fifth to fourth and then later passed Rosberg for third. But then Webber got his front wing damaged when he was lapping Guido van der Garde and they collided as the latter moved in and cut him off. Webber's wing was not damaged enough to pit for repairs but it slowed him down enough that Alonso closed in for the kill and passed him.
"I got a sensational start," Webber said, "but I didn't have too many places to go. I went to the middle and (Valtteri) Bottas and Nico (Rosberg) were there, so I went to the other side and lost some momentum. We are certainly getting our starts sorted, but so far there's been no opportunity to show how good they have been! We lost some time with Nico in the first stint, and the car was getting hot behind him in the slip stream. Once I got in free air, the car was handling much better.
"Then we had the incident with Giedo van der Garde which caused some front wing damage and made it more difficult; the whole top section of the wing was gone on the left hand side, so it didn't help from then on. I don't know what he was doing. We had a lot of blue flags as we approached the hair pin and I rolled to the inside, giving him plenty of space so he knew I was there, but when we got to the apex he tried to hit it; I don't know what was going on with that."
The race officials gave van der Garde a five place grid penalty at the next race for causing the collision.
"Today wasn't a good day for me," he admitted. "I want to say sorry to Mark for the incident we had and I'll make sure I learn from the stewards' decision on the five-place penalty for the next race. Sometimes you make mistakes, but the important thing is to accept them, learn from them and move on."
So Webber, who set the fastest lap of the race despite the wing damage, finished fourth while Rosberg faded back to cross the line in fifth place.
"I think fifth place was probably my optimum today and," Rosberg said, "even if my race had gone perfectly, I wasn't able to match the pace of the guys in front. The guys had a difficult decision to make at the first stop: we were worried about the warm-up of the harder tires, so we went for the option to protect my track position against Webber and Alonso, but in hindsight it would probably have been better to go the other way because I could have run a longer second stint. I scored some good points and we know that there are areas where we can still improve our performance. But looking back to where we were a month ago, we have made some good steps forward."
One of the stars of the race was Jean-Eric Vergne who took sixth in his Toro Rosso.
"The best result for me of course, but also the highest finishing position since Vettel's results for the team in 2008," he said. "It is even more satisfying, because it was a normal race in the dry, with no one going out in front of me so we achieved this position fair and square. It's a great result for the team as we are making progress race by race and it's very encouraging for the rest of the season. It wasn't too complicated, because we had the pace to maintain that position, although we did not have the speed of those ahead. I passed Bottas and Raikkonen and from then I managed my race, keeping an eye on Sutil who was behind me for much of the time. That meant I could never ease up until the flag. After finishing eighth in Monaco, this result on another difficult track has boosted my confidence and I feel I have progressed as a driver."
Force India had another solid afternoon with both drivers in the points. Paul di Resta finished seventh after starting 17th and Adrian Sutil was 10th.
Felipe Massa climbed from 16th to eighth in his Ferrari.
"I am very happy with my race today which was a real battle from start to finish," he said. "After going off the track yesterday, I knew it wouldn't be easy starting from 16th place, but I also knew I had a good car and I tackled the race on the attack, managing to pull off several nice passing moves. However, because of a problem with graining, I lost precious time behind Sutil in the Force India: that's why I think a strategy based on using two sets of Medium tires would have seen me gain at least one or two places. Even if I can't be satisfied with this result it was still a positive day, in which we showed we had a good pace and that we were able to fight."
Kimi Raikkonen finished ninth in his Lotus.
"My race didn't start very well and then my brakes were fading with the pedal going soft similar to the problem we had on Friday," he said. "It wasn't ideal but at least the brakes were good enough to slow me down for the corners. Unfortunately though it meant I lost a lot of time and wasn't able to attack, plus we lost a few seconds in the pit stop which obviously didn't help either. Most of my race was just following the cars in front and defending from those behind, so not the most enjoyable day nor the most enjoyable result. It's been a bad weekend, but at least we scored a few points."
Fellow Finn Valtteri Bottas, meanwhile, was bitterly disappointed. He had qualified a fabulous third in his Williams and was aiming for the first points of his rookie season. But he faded back to 14th.
"We fought hard to try and secure some points today but ultimately we just didn't have the pace in the car," he said. "I didn't get a great start which allowed a few cars to jump me on the first lap, and in the dry conditions we simply couldn't match the level of competitiveness we showed yesterday. The tire wear in the first stint was also high which made it tough to stay in the top ten."
Speaking of points, Vettel increased his championship lead to 36 points ahead of Alonso. But Vettel says he is not going to run away with the title just yet.
"Obviously you don't have to be a genius to know that you get more points than anybody else for that result," he said, "but as Fernando (Alonso) said, the championship is still long and obviously I was in a different position last year at this time and I was able to catch up quite a lot towards the end. I had very strong races. Fernando was a little bit unlucky here and there and we were able to beat him, so we were able to come back but this was ten races from where we are now so I think there are so many things that can happen at that stage of the championship."
Alonso agreed.
"Even if he has increased his lead, there's still a long way to go in the championship and there's plenty of time to catch up," he said.
Now it is on to the British Grand Prix, and the Red Bulls have had some runaway wins there. But then Ferrari has been quick at Silverstone as well.

The Tao Te Ching says "a kind person is the teacher of the unkind. An unkind person is a lesson for the kind to learn". We should all be constantly teaching by example and constantly learning / growing. No one ever has it together and believing that you have a handle on life is quintessential pride. Pride is self-deception and delusion - the frothy aftermath topping the glass, obscuring the remnants of a fear and self hatred fueled orgy, guzzling as much sweetness as possible until we've drowned in our own piss - at least we had fun killing ourselves.
Life is constantly changing and the only way to be "right" is to BE in the moment because it's all that is relevant. Living in the moment requires humility as you are constantly aware that while you are a part of infinity, you can never know the entirety of a thing such as infinity. You must always be willing to learn and grow.
No one should want to lead.
We all should be leaders for ourselves, learning from those we follow in their areas of responsibility.
If you have a desire to help people, first help yourself and others will be inspired by your example if applicable. Know that those who may follow you are also lessons. We are all perpetually learning and teaching each other if we just listen.
Many of the "spiritual men" from time past had good things to say but I think either their pride or someone else's got in the way perverting the wisdom they had received. These "leaders" are presented as having learned directly from "God" and therefore are infallible. Jesus is quoted railing on Peter "get behind me Satan. You are an offense..." This rebuke was the reward for Peter telling Jesus he wouldn't be crucified. Has anyone considered that maybe Peter was just trying to talk some sense into Jesus like when you tell your friend "hey, I really don't think you should drive right now" as you hide their keys in the freezer. But of course not, Jesus was on a mission from his father. I'm not advocating listening to doubters trying distract you from your path, but claiming you know what is ahead of time is holding onto a fairly rigid sense of self aka ego. Maybe you do know but maybe you don't. Sometimes we are using other people's mouths to tell us to wake up from the course we are setting into motion because we've accepted it as fate.
You can only really lead yourself. People can be coerced to follow but only because they have chosen to accept your terms in exchange for life. It's all a choice of what is most important to you. Be wholly in the moment - you'll never be wrong but you'll also never quite be right.

Cambridge Muslim Council held its official launch last night as the far-right English Defence League (EDL) gets set to march in the city.
The newly formed council has already held an emergency meeting after the News reported the march and counter protest would be held on July 9.
Muslim leaders are calling on the community not to get involved in a counter demonstration and fear for the security of mosques and shops in the city.
Mirza Baig, vice-chairman of the council, told the News: "We held a meeting of our emergency response committee as soon as we heard about the march. We have set out or policy on how we should react.
"We are urging Muslims not to take part in a counter protest and we do not want groups coming from Luton and Peterborough for the march – we can deal with any issues ourselves.
"We do fear for the security of our mosques and some of the shops but are working closely with police."
He added: "The EDL has every right to protest and we support that democratic right."
Last night, the city's MP Julian Huppert, mayor Cllr Ian Nimmo-Smith and Farooq Murad, the Muslim Council of Britain chairman, met at the Holiday Inn, Impington, for the launch of the council, which has vowed to fight extremism and violence.
It has been formed because of an increase in the city's Muslim population to 7,000 and it will become an umbrella group for 28 Islamic organisations in Cambridge.
Mr Huppert said he was delighted to support the formation of the new council and condemned the planned march by the EDL.
The MP is discussing the issue with Chief Superintendent Rob Needle and will shadow him during the march.
Mr Huppert said: "I deplore the fact that these people have targeted Cambridge in this way. They are not welcome here.
"I will be working alongside the police during the march and hope that it will pass off peacefully.
"While I recognise the EDL's democratic right to protest, I hope that this protest will take place without incident.
"Our city is a very special place where people from a diverse range of nationalities and cultures live and work together. This multi-racial mix makes our city very unique and we are proud of the strong community spirit that exists here.
"We want to promote and protect that diversity and there is no room for people who don't understand our city's special qualities."
