The genital is a delicate area which must be properly taken care of if you want to be free from disease-producing agent. We must keep our private part dry and clean as often as we can because micro organisms settle in moist areas. We sweat alot in areas that are covered that is why it is  advisable to wear breathable clothes and underwears. THE RIGHT WAY TO WASH THE VAGINA. Use plain soap when washing the vagina and not perfumed soap. The vagina cleans itself inside your body with natural vagina secretions called discharge . The vaginal discharge is not always a bad thing. We have healthy discharge and unhealthy discharge. The healthy discharge is white-ish in colour and milky without any foul smell. The unhealthy discharge is yellow-ish in colour with a foul smell and sometimes itchy. Fungi causes the itch and bacteria causes the foul smell. Avoid using douches for douches are meant to wash the vagina and thus distorting the normal vaginal bacteria. It doesn't protect fro

A friend is not one whom you have known all your life, a friend is not one who you share your room with.  A true friend is one who reprimands you when you do wrong but hold no grudges,  a true friend is one who doesn't need anything from you but your presence.   A true friend is one who loves you enough to honestly tell you the truth always in a loving way even though it hurts.  A true friend is one who is loyal and has got your back anytime way beyond distance. True friendship is not measured by time, days or decades but it is measured by how deep and how well two people have known each other. Don't force friendship, let it come naturally or you will get dragged by the ear or be bullied. Stay around people who need you in their life even when you have nothing to offer. Even when you are separated from them, nothing changes. That’s because they are real.  A strong friendship doesn’t need daily conversations and togetherness. We meet people everyday but we c

Men need to stop acting like they know so much about women/ladies meanwhile they have no idea of the most basic facts. I have become obsessed with identifying the things that make us different as a man or woman so I decided to write them down. God made us all unique. There are things that are generally assigned to male and female but still can't apply to all humans because of our specific differences and uniqueness. It can't always be as its expected. Now, WHAT MEN NEED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT US. 1. There are times we just want to talk about things without your opinions or ideas. We just want you to listen and not try to fix or solve things. Women want to be heard, pampered and supported. 2.We appreciate the little things more because it says the most. It signifies that you were thinking about me even if you were busy. A little how are you or how's your day and all won't hurt. We don't always have to have that long a conversation or go out for dinner and all bu

Having a variety to choose from is something you will never regret. There are natural fiber brushes and
