I totally agree with that mosque roundabout heading towards Yaradua Centre and Silverbird. My Aunty's car was snatched at gunpoint there in 2013. It was later found by the Police...

Daily Meditation is the new cure!!!
Meditation is the act of transforming the mind, which will help develop concentration, clarity, emotional positivism and a calm seeing of the true nature of things. I can define it from my experience as a state of thoughtful awareness in which the excessive stress producing activity in the brain is being neutralised, without altering the brains alertness and effectiveness. This will in turn help to improve focus and concentration. It equally helps manage stress and anxiety disorder.

There are 3 forms of Meditation according to the Maharishi school, they are:

1.Self Transcending (Transcendental Meditation)
2.Open Monitoring
3.Focus and Concentration

They have been classified in these categories based on the effort required to practise it, its impact on the brain and benefits generally. The Transcendental Meditation is the most common of them, and that is the type of meditation I have being practising that has left me with some great improvements that am going to be sharing with you.

Here are some benefits I have realised from this mind blowing exercise:

1.It improves focus and concentration. I can indeed attest to this one because my mind wanders off a lot. It has helped me improve my concentration level.
2.Helps you feel more connected to people, things, ideas etc.
3.Reduces Insomnia. It can really help one sleep better at night.
4.Helps improve your Mood and Emotionally Intelligence.
5.Increases Optimism, Relaxation and Awareness.
6.Helps Ignore Distractions.
7.Better Information Processing. I believe this one because a friend of mine told me how her GRE Verbal score went from 142 to a whooping 165 after she practised meditation 4 times a week. She believed it helped her process the Verbose and Confusing Verbal Section of the GRE exam that most people dread.

As ladies, we really do not have to break the bank to look classy, that is the misconception most people have. Being a stylish woman is about finding out your body type, and knowing what suits your body type and dress for success. With all these said, these are the list of things you should at put a little of your budget in to upgrade your looks;

1. HAIR: Great Looking hair makes you look rich, especially for us, ladies. Some of you are blessed with natural long great hair which is plus for you to focus on. Whether you are on low cut, natural kinky African hair, relaxed hair, braids and twists, dreadlocks, Brazilian, Peruvian and all kinds of hair available for the Women with African Decent, make sure it is kept nice, neat, stylish and artistically made. Find a nice salon and a good hair stylist that can really give your that style that will soothe your face and your taste. Haven’t you wondered why hair companies make so much money from the sale of the human hair despite all the economic hard times and drawbacks? That is because a great hair make you look great, and women know this fact that is why they purge out thousands of cash in order to acquire great hair. Seriously, if not nothing else, get your hair right, it can seriously upgrade you entire appearance.



2. SKIN: Having a good skin unlike having a great hair doesn’t also have to be expensive. Some of us are born with a porcelain blemish free skin, while others (like me) have acne prone skin. But what I have come to discover is that our skin reacts to what we put in our mouths. If you have acne prone skin, avoid foods that are oily and sugary, resort to more of fruits and vegetables, it could really help because I am a witness. Also, resist using oily skincare products. If you have the money, I will advise you to see a specialist, (Am not talking of skin bleach mixers) a certified dermatologist/ Cosmetologist, they can really help you. But if you don’t have that type of money, am here to tell you that there are people that use the blandest skincare products and still have GORGEOUS SKIN. Just add fruits, vegetables and vitamins into your daily diet and avoid oily foods, processed carbohydrates and sugar; you will find a remarkable difference in your skin, trust me.



3. CLOTHING: You may be tempted to go out and buy whatever you like, but place an emphasis on your body type, that is what most stylish women do. Find out your body type and dress to kill! And most of you have that conception that it has to be all that expensive to look classy, NO!! It is not true! Fashion is what is in vogue, but style is your ability to harness what is in vogue in order to suit your body type, and trust me you don’t have to wear Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci etc in order to look like a million box. FIND YOUR OWN PERSONAL STYLE and dress with confidence, and step out of the door!


4. MAKE UP: The misconception most people have believed that 'cosmetics makes you look artificial and that having a natural look is more desirable', especially for women (LOL!!) without knowing they are contradicting themselves is really funny. Except you are a cave man from the BC era, every single human being on this planet apply some form of cosmetics, Bathing soap, Deodorant, Perfume, Shaving cream, Hair cream, Shampoo, Body lotion, Foundation, Mascara, Eyepencil, Lipsticks, Concealer etc before leaving their homes. All these are classified as cosmetics in the world of cosmetology; I wonder why people will tend to make beautiful women that use cosmetics to enhance their beauties fill like it is artificial, because if that is the case we all are guilty on this planet! Please ladies, at the very least own a foundation, brow pencil, lipstick, eye liner, eye shadow and mascara and apply MAKE UP whenever you are going to a place where you will meet well groomed people, do not let any misconception about make up stop you from looking you best. Watch Youtube videos and learn how to do simple light make up that will enhance you beauty.


5. ACCESSORIES: Some of you must have heard the saying that an accessory makes or breaks an outfit, which is indeed true. You must have been in a position where you just slipped in one chunk of accessory and it transformed your whole looks, that is why you should pay attention to this, because even when you wear a boring dress, the right accessories like a Bright Coloured handbags, Chunky jewelleries, Designer Sunglasses or even a nice looking pair of stilettos or flats can transform you from a 4 to a 10. So ladies accessories go a long way, buy nice quality bags, wear good looking shoes that are comfortable, wear rings and nice earrings, bangles etc. It will entirely upgrade your looks.

I believe these are most of key aspects that we can focus on to improve or outward appearance and look appealing to people we come in contact with on a daily basis. Most importantly, move with confidence and assurance that you look like a badass and trust me, people will begin to see you the way you see yourself.

Most youths in Nigeria today have lost faith in formal education because of the rate of unemployment. According to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics, about 22 Million Nigerian youths are unemployed or underemployed. Does it really mean the value of a school degree is entirely worthless? Do you think education has no value because of the fact that you cannot get your dream job after years of graduation? Do you have the conception that a degree is supposed to give you a good paying job and success? If any of these applies to you, am here to let you know that FORMAL EDUCATION is not a key to success in life. Success in life comes from what you make of life and the sacrifice you are willing pay. I have thrown more lights on this topic in my new article - https://edweenadubemsblog.com/category/motivation/, comments and contributions are welcomed. Cheers!!!
