WHAT NO-ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT OVERCOMING DEPRESSION (THE RELAPSE)
Overcoming depression (or just that dark place in your life), is one of the best things you could do to be happy. But, what everyone seems to forget is what I’ve come to share today with you all. Firstly, depression is like a drug.

Let’s talk about this some more? Alright:Now, you face alot of dark things in your life and you fall off that happy wagon for good. You then end up in…

THE HEALING SERIES; LEARNING TO FORGIVE ONESELF FOR MISTAKES
Self-Love! Self-Love! Self-Love! We preach about it everyday, we all want it! But, one step I’m emphasizing on today in our Healing and Growth is; ‘Forgiveness’-Learning to forgive ourselves. When we go through traumatic experiences or just bad experiences, we don’t just hold a grudge or anger or resentment to the person who put us through whatever experience; we put the blame, anger and resentment on ourselves too. That’s why there is the need to learn to not just forgive others but ourselves first. When we are down or frustrated and angry at everything and ourselves we tend to not see the bigger picture and tend to focus on how…

THE HEALING SERIES; BODY SHAMING AND SELF LOVE
Hello everyone and a Happy New Year!!!!!! Today, we are doing something new on the blog and it is a new series called “The Healing” and I’m starting this with Body Shaming and Self-Love. We all know what body shaming is; but just incase let me give you the Wikipedia’s definition: “Body shaming is the act of deriding or mocking a person’s physical appearance.” Now, body shaming comes in so many forms and the most popular has to do with weight. Me, being a victim for being too small all my life, soon realized that the bigger people too were also victimised for their bodies. While it might be accurate to…

ACNE, DARK SPOTS AND MENTAL HEALTH
Anyone that is knowledgeable about skincare, knows having acne, blackheads, spots, etc is actually normal and happens to quite alot of people but, people have still found a way to stigmatise people that don’t have clear and flawless skin. I remember sometime last year, my acne was still so severe. One day, I walked into a shop to by something and this lady legit goes “ewwww!!! What happened to your face?! Go and remove it na!” At that point, I was not just irritated with her reaction but felt humiliated and mentally down because of my skin. One thing people don’t realise until they either try understanding or go through…

GOING TO BED ANGRY (GOOD OR BAD)
When I first came across this topic I won’t lie I had to do a little research, tho’ not deep but it gave me the knowledge that there was a good amount of people who feel going to bed angry is good and they have really nice reasons to it and there are people who say it is a ‘no, no’. Ok!!! So what is my point of view right? Well, I say going to bed angry isn’t good. But, while I say this I’m still going to analyze a few things out for y’all. Firstly, there are two kinds of people in the going to bed category; those who…

MALES AND FEMALES, WHO CHEATS MORE IN RELATIONSHIPS?
If we all know history, there is one thing we should all realize; and that is, back through the years (at least till about 10 years ago) it has been a fact that the way society has brought up both female and male children ( tho’ evolving) has been different as both genders are always being treated differently. While this is something feminist are fighting against, it is still in our history. Ok, so when we take a look at the males, they were raised with the mindset of ” traditionally males can have as many wives as they want or can have.” It is also important to note that…
