You cannot serve the world by playing small. So yell your achievements loudly, take huge risks and tell us about them...we'll be there cheering right alongside you.

The biggest indicator of a woman deserving of the title "BOSS" is someone who wants the life of working for herself, and pursues it endlessly.
Which sometimes, can look like laying down the hammer for a year while she gets her marriage in order.
Or takes care of her young children.
Or works on herself.
Or travels...because she always promised herself she would.
Or works part-time because that's really all she wants to work.
The best thing about being your own BOSS is that YOU get to decide...

Eko”, “Lasgidi”, “Lag”, are names often used to refer to Lagos, the largest city in Nigeria and the sub-Saharan Africa. It is highly populated and plays host to most headquarters of companies both locals and multi nationals that operates in Nigeria. In case you will be visiting Lagos soon for the first time and do not know what to expect, well, we have put together 5 things to know before you go to Lagos as a first timer.

Lagos is the commercial city of Nigeria, hence, it is known to be busy at all time. It has the largest airport in Nigeria (Murtala Muhammed Airport, it has both Local and International wings), which is located in the states capital, Ikeja. Also, the largest tech market (computer village) is also found in the city’s capital.

2. Tourist site attractions. First-time visitors to Lagos should make a pilgrimage to the New Afrika shrine, a monument to the city’s best-known musical ambassador: Afrobeat pioneer, activist, and all-around legend Fela Kuti.

3. You will not beat the traffic. Lagos is Africa’s largest city, and it’s growing rapidly. Epic car logjams (“go-slows”) are an inevitable part of life. Although Lagos state has a capable traffic management agency, sometimes the beast just can’t be tamed—particularly from 6-9 a.m. and 4-10 p.m. You just have to plan ahead.

4. Ask questions. Do not take pride in not asking, especially asking for directions. Lagos has a large road network that if you take a wrong path you could miss your way. For security sake, you could ask “okada” riders as they are very familiar with the roads.

5. Shine your eyes. Lagos is known to be a state for the smart ones. So in all your dealings be smart in order to avoid being duped.

Eric Berne once said, “Love is nature’s psychotherapy.” There is no greater catalyst for healing and growth than love. When your back is up against the wall—when you’re at risk of losing something irreplaceable—you “wake up” from complacency. This is when the real magic happens.
Are you having trouble with your sweetie, or just wanting to keep your relationship healthy? Relationships require time and effort, whether your love is on the rocks or you're on cloud nine. Many couples give up when they encounter bumps along the road, not knowing that some simple strategies could have helped them withstand the tests of time. Make your relationship work by maintaining some excitement and appreciation, improving your communication, and learning to handle conflict effectively.
Regardless of whether you’ve been in a long term relationship or you’re just starting out, here are some essential tips to foster your relationship.https://marblebrandhotel.com.ng/blog/2019/09/19/5-essential-tips-for-making-your-relationship-work/

Who Was the Real St. Valentine? The Many Myths Behind the Inspiration for Valentine's Day There were multiple St. Valentines (including decapitated ones), but it was a medieval poet who first established the holiday's romantic tradition.On February 14, when we share chocolates, special dinners, or doily cards with our loved ones, we do it in the name of Saint Valentine. But who was this saint of romance? Search the internet, and you can find plenty of stories about him—or them. One Saint Valentine was supposedly a Roman priest who performed secret weddings against the wishes of the authorities in the third century. Imprisoned in the home of a noble, he healed his captor’s blind daughter, causing the whole household to convert to Christianity and sealing his fate. Before being tortured and decapitated on February 14, he sent the girl a note signed “Your Valentine.” Some accounts say another saint named Valentine during the same period was the Bishop of Terni, also credited with secret weddings and martyrdom via beheading on February 14. Five Tips For a Great Valentine's Day(for Couples or singles) Valentine’s day can be a real head-trip for many of us. Single’s can feel the pressure of not having a partner with whom to share this day of love. Those in a relationship can feel the pressure of social expectation, wondering if their partner’s going to let them down. Both positions can be emotionally perilous. Here are five tips to combat any negative messages you may ...



Keep Valentine’s Day in perspective: For Couples: It’s 1 day out of 365 days. No single day bears testimony to a partner’s love. Though we live in a consumer driven world that wants us to believe Valentine’s Day is “THE day” that signifies the proof of our love’s existence, it does not. Proof of love exists within the many smaller moments of a relationship that take place over course of time. For Single’s, please resist the temptation to believe that everyone’s partnered. They’re not. Over half the adult population is single. You needn’t feel lonely, desperate, or defeated. You’re not alone. You have yourself. The basis of the life you’ll be sharing with your future partner is the one you have right now. Take time to reflect on the totality of what you have to offer. Trust yourself and trust Life to complete this desire. 2. Plan an experiential date with your partner, or for yourself: You may be wracking your brain trying to figure out what to do for your partner. How much is too much and how little is too little? You don’t want to over-give for your current relationship status. And you certainly don’t want to under-give and fail to meet his or her expectations.



.....Ask yourself: What does my partner love to do? What’ve they been talking about doing that I’ve either been too busy or too resistant to do with him or her? Valentine’s Day is the time to step up to the plate and show your partner that you’ve been listening to their needs and wants. Give them the gift of sharing the thing they’ve wanted to experience, with you. It says volumes about your love and willingness to please your mate. For Singles, here’s the time to do something fun for yourself. Quit talking about that “thing” you want to do and do it. Feel like indulging in a good book? Want to see a movie? Desperately needing a massage? Book the trip you’ve wanted to take. Make plans to see the friend you’ve wanted to see. Honor yourself this Valentine’s Day.



3. Let your partner off the hook if they’re less than perfect: Valentine’s Day can create huge expectations around your partner’s behavior. Resist the temptation to react to the Valentine’s Day “shoulds” that demand your partner needs to act in a certain way or do certain things to prove their love. As Valentine’s Day approaches, please relax. See the social pressure for what it is… a marketing ploy crafted for revenue. Real love is independent of gifts and flowers. Anyone can give you those things. Real love is quiet but powerful. It’s an inner feeling of connection and resonance. The most loving gift you can give to your partner is to let them off the hook if their actions are anything less than perfect on this day.



4. Let yourself off the hook if you’re single: Being “single” isn’t an assessment of one’s lack of worth or lovability. It’s a natural state of being that holds as much value as being partnered. Singlehood can either be a proactive choice, or a temporary segment in time to reset dating goals. Being single can mark the time between oneness with yourself and the birth of new love to be shared with another. Take heart and remember it’s one day. It’s not the sum total of your worth. Keep Valentine’s Day in its proper perspective. Enjoy the life you have today. Let yourself off the hook in terms of what this day means to you.
nice



5. Be your own best Valentine: Vow that on this day you’ll be good to yourself. Set your intention to think positive thoughts that empower you. Look for things that make you feel happy and appreciative. See yourself through the eyes of a lover… noting all that is good and wonderful about you. Whether partnered or single, this gift is the one you give to yourself. Be appreciative of what you do have, rather than focused on what you don’t have. Awaken to the beauty in life and notice the splendor all around you. Take these Valentine’s tips to heart. They work. If you’re partnered, your positive attitude will heighten your mate’s attitude in correspondence. If you’re single, you’ll be happy with the life you have right now. There’s no better jumping off place for future partnership than to be in agreement with the life you have, and who you are.courtesy @marblebrandhotel

Living in Lagos Nigeria can be fun or weird depending on what you already know about the great city of Lagos. Welcome to Nigeria’s no.1 city, the commercial capital of Africa, where everything happens. To really get along in Lagos, you have to be #streetwise. Getting to know some of these survival tips in Lagos will save you a lot of stress, trouble and heartbreak. Some of the Lagos survival hacks include:
https://marblebrandhotel.com.ng/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/lagimage1-1.jpg

1. Fast Life: Everybody in Lagos is always in a rush. They want meet up with the next appointment, client, person, destination etc., So don’t expect that bus driver to completely stop or park-well before you get in or alight and when in, hold sits rails as you move to your seat cos bus might zoom off before you might even get to sit down.

2. Know your bus stops: If not very familiar with bus stop to drop off, always tell the bus conductor the very bus stop you intend dropping off and tell passengers near you to notify you when you get to that bus stop. Still remind them after a while cos they might have forgotten. Normally, conductors call bus stop names as the journey progresses. When you hear your bus stop been mentioned, you shout "Owa" - which is a Yoruba word meaning, “it’s in”. This alerts the driver and he parks so you drop off.

3. Ask wisely: When asking for directions, ask at least 2 persons before you heed that direction and while walking towards that direction for a while, ask other persons on that way so as to be sure you are going the right way.

4. Enter right vehicle: Always enter yellow coloured buses if taking commercial transport or use Uber or Taxify app on your phone to book for driver near you if you can afford it and especially if you dress porch or cooperate so you don’t be prey to the badt guys. If a lady, try avoid free rides (going my way). There are many stories of near end of life experience after such and some others never lived to narrate their ordeals.

5. You are not James Bond: If driving yourself, don’t be tempted to beat corners like the drivers over here, you could get your vehicle scratched, damaged badly or drive against traffic which will get you fined by Lastma officials (Lagos traffic officers) or even the police.

6. Boys are not smiling: Just like every other busy cities of the world. There are a lot of criminally minded persons here. You need have the mentality that everybody is a suspect until they prove otherwise. So before you make that call in public, make sure your discussion is not exposing your personal life. Robbers, Kidnappers are for real here. Some can even follow you up to your house, then come at night to rob/kidnap you. Many people you see standing in bus stops are jobless and are ready to devour anybody.

7. Operate phone in traffic with sense: Operating your phone while in public bus in traffic (Go slow) especially when seated close to the window is risky, it could be jacked from you through the window. If you must operate your phone, make sure you are not seated to window side.

8. Avoid overly active acts: Reject any unsolicited activities that involves body contacts in public areas from strangers and make sure you check your belongings after such especially wallets, phones are still with you. If not, grab them and begin shouting Ole! Ole!! Ole!!! Which means Thief! Thief!! Thief!!! In Yoruba until crowd gathers and you explain to them what just happened and you that can’t find your belongings anymore. Trust Lagos, most times they will buy the case from you. Common instance is a person or group of person might hug or carry you calling you generic names and you will be wondering where you got to know them – don’t be carried away, it’s a trick, After the little drama, you find out you don't know yourself from Adam. You will realize later your wallet; phone is gone in that process. They do this smartly without you noticing. Some will even act like police men and try act like they want arrest you by grabbing you by the trouser then say it’s just a joke and might shook hands with you as sign of friendship to ease your anxiety. My dear, your valuable is gone. Some will even start forming one foreign accent claiming they have this or that. Never buy into that. We call them local scammers. They have their scripted well prepared and you will never be happy to narrate your ordeals. Most will even you be being used for rituals. Learn to face squarely what brought you out of house for the first instance.

9. Guard your Pocket: When entering bus especially at close or start of work hours. Some of the persons that struggles to get into bus with you are pocket picketers’. They are not going anywhere. They get in and get down immediately. So while you rush with the crowd, guard your pocket and belongings jealously.

10. Lagos don’t sleep: Lagos night life is superb. Though you can almost get transport at every time of the day including odd hours of the day but your safety is at such times not guaranteed. If it’s not the armed street criminal, it will be the very diabolic people ready to use human part/life for their selfish spiritual solutions.
Lagos is really a great city with plenty of opportunity especially if you are skilled or have money to invest. Some persons have stayed for a very long period here and never experienced any of this while some others experienced a couple of them in a few period of stay. This is Lagos, be #streetwise.

You often hear those words from different people (other than just the gym bruhs) with some sorts of different meaning, and you seem confused. You have applied all of the craps you hear, read or probably buy to get you your desired abs but little to nothing seems to happen. You wonder if it’s some form of genetics you are unlucky not to possess, etc, etc.
But enough… what exactly is the real deal about them? Here we go without much ado.
https://marblebrandhotel.com.ng/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Abs.jpg
What are Abs?

Abs are simply short for abdominal muscle, or rectus abdominis muscle (if you want to go scientific) – the paired parallel muscle vertically running down your abdominal walls.

If you’d read carefully, you would easily notice the singular use of the word “pack” instead of “packs” as you often have said or hear most people say. A well-developed (visible) abs is all what we call a six pack. You’d want to look that up in a (good) dictionary – please don’t hesitate to castigate or report this post if you find “six-packs” instead of “six-pack” with this same bodybuilding meaning.

The reason is a simple one -there is only one muscle with those kinda segmented visible layers, and not many muscle groups as many think. The abdominal muscle has only got some tendinous intersections across it (like bands dividing some stuffs into layers) which account for the segments or layers we tend to call pack(s).

What then is the difference in 4, 6 and 8 Pack?

Often you hear amateurs and some self-acclaimed pros counting the layers or their lines apart to determine if it is a 4, 6 or 8 pack. It is outright ignorance. No matter how few or many the layers are, once they are visible and well-defined, they are a six pack!

However in recent times, some pros have begun using the words to distinctly specify in terms of the segmentations of a six pack, but yet know it’s all a six pack.

How to upgrade a 4 or 6 Pack to an 8 Pack

Almost no way – yeah, you got it. If you naturally have some specific abdominal segments, there is almost no way to add another, with that “almost” only accounting for a scenario where you have some segmentations but are almost totally hidden/undeveloped, which by proper training and dieting you can recover. So, if you’re thinking of creating an extra ab section yourself, just know it’s mission impossible; and if you feel you’re achieving such a feat, just easily know your “newly created segment” already existed but was either not developed or hidden that you didn’t notice.

Possessing the holy 8 pack is all down to generics and not some hard work or training as you’d thought – not even the god, Arnold Schwarzenegger had as many as four segments! You can only build, develop and tone your already existing abs sections, layers or whatever.

Who can get a Six Pack?

Conclusion

Now you know there is just a “6 pack” and regardless of how many sections it is divided it remains just that. Do not feel bad if you haven’t gotten the alpha 6 or 8 segments or can’t get the rocky six abs you desire, we can help you with loads and lots of things from our workout plans to dieting tips and others, all to help you build your best possible abs.
