Mean green juice - 4 Celery sticks, 2 cups each of kale and spinach, an inch of ginger, 1 peeled lemon and 2 apples. It is so yummy! I cannot wait to juice Ugwu leaves, some oranges and maybe some papaya
that's one super healthy juice. What do you use for sweetener?
My conversion to the healthy side is not yet complete as I cannot do this juice without a banana to help me sweeten it. #facepalm I need help.
jnrbayano: The bold must be at the right time that is when the mother start to discover that the adolescent child must have become curious as to the changes in her body or in the bodies of others (her sexuality)
Failing which the lesson I reckon will be counterproductive.
5minsmadness: The bweasts have always been sexualized. It is sexuality that has become overly sensationalized in this modern era.
Having said that, for goodness sake oga seun pls reconsider this your censoring. There is nothing wrong with the word B. R. E. A. S. T It beats my imagination that a forum that is well known for the extreme rudeness and lewdness of most of its members will still be censoring a word as innocent as the female mammary glands. Even my autocorrect now spells b.r.e.a.s.t as bweast.
Pls look into this sir.
Make up your mind. Is it innocent or a sexual word?
The rest of your posts agrees with me that it was a gradual process. The breassts didn't become sexualized overnight. From days when it wasn't sexualized to days when it became slightly sexualized to these days when it has become a taboo topic that even Seun's nairaland censors it. You can't even type breassts without giving someone a hard-on behind their computers.
Have you read Buchi Emecheta's "The bride price"? Or the novel " Hawaii"? Both depict the typical display of female maidens' bweasts in traditional settings and among what we today may arguably call 'primitive tribes'.
In those days the beast of a young female was not just ignored, rather it was seen as a sign of maturity and feminine fertility. Sexuality was not as much of a taboo then as it is today . A young man could see a woman at the stream and compliment her on her beautiful big bweasts and she would accept the compliment without taking offence. In the evenings the men would play with the women and usually such 'plays' involved touching, holding and pulling the bweasts. So it was a sign of sexuaI attraction even then. However if a young man took his 'play' too far the girl or her brothers would show offence. If the family liked the boy they would tell him to stop touching for free and pay her bride price.
In the primitive tribes of the South Pacific,sexuaIity was regarded as a friendly gesture. A male would see a maiden with attractive bweasts and approach and compliment her. If all went well they would have Intercourse even in the presence of others. It was a free-for-all as men could sleep with thier daughters and women with thier brothers. It was this practice the English sailors capitalized on when they came to the Hawaiian Islands before Christianity came and introduced guilt and sin into thier lives.
My point is, even in tribes where the nippIe was blatantly exposed, it was still seen as a sexuaI object.
@ cococandy. Don't understand the part of mothers not raising their not to have OrGasm. Please elaborate if you don't mind.
I think It is a mind thing first before being physical. Most of our African parents don't even like to talk about sex let alone give their kids especially the daughters the understanding that sex is nothing to feel guilty or dirty about. After having grown up with that mind conditioning, it will be hard for a lady to let herself go enough to really explore her body and not feel whorish about it (even with the right person. AKA husband or fiancé).
I can't really say I blame them because many don't understand you can be free and open about sex to your kids without encouraging irresponsible behavior.
In addition,ladies if you can't have orgasms, pls don't raise daughters who can't have orgasms too. Most females are sexually repressed because of their psyche growing up to believe that sex is evil and something to be guilty or feel dirty about. Teach them to embrace their sexuality (while being responsible about it.)
I got this one for $110 (plus shipping) I saw cheaper ones but I had this same thought 'the more expensive the better'
Maybe I'm just complaining for nothing.
I just hate to see carrot fibre wasting .
naijababe: I currently use Rachel's, although has bad reviews on amazon, I am very happy with it. I bought it in 2010 and I have had no problems whatsoever with it.
Steph is right. Not taking time to go relax is a big stressor in marriage. Phew. Going out like that makes you feel like you're dating again and rediscovering each other.
edwife: Look what i found online,Stephanie Okereke new reality show,i am not really keen on these stuff but this takes the cake.
The first episode is so lovely,you can feel the excitement of the lady(Ifeoma),i really liked this.
naijababe: Breakkie juice - 5 carrots, 2 apples and 1 sweet potato. I think the greatest and best change I ever made to my diet is juicing.
that your juice looks thick. what kind of juicer do you use?
I just got the jack lalanne power juicer based on all The reviews I read about it and how powerful it is. It is great but I feel like half the fruits fibre goes to waste.
Only daft ediots like the ones I see on nairaland will blame federal govt for the responsibilities of the state government. In imo state alone, govt health workers haven't been paid for 3months and masses are suffering. All they know is propaganda and talking bullshyte.
