Keep Your Marriage Going

Using the words “I love you” is not just when you are feeling pleased with your husband or when he has shown that he is the man in the house. You can say those words when you know he has hurt you, you can say them when he is downcast or when he has lost a deal. It shows that you actually love not only when the going is good but when it is tough. You are boosting his morale as well. Hearing those words from you at that time to you might not be appropriate, but to him, you just swelled up his ego!
Husbands, these words mean a lot to your wife. Whether she is a full time housewife or a working mum, saying them means to her that you love her really and that you appreciate what she is doing at the home front. You can take it a step further by doing something for her at home, no matter how little and see what will happen. She will definitely warm up to you.

Celebrate birthdays
You don’t have to take her out to an expensive restaurant or totally cut down on your budget to celebrate your wife’s birthday this year, if your budget does not allow for it. You can order a cake, or cook her favourite dish if you good at it or pay someone to cook it for you. You can arrange to have a surprise household birthday party. Actually, there are lots of things that you can do to celebrate your spouse’s birthday without breaking your back.
One wife actually wrote that from a year before her husband’s birthday, she bought a special notebook and filled in everyday while she loves her husband. She admitted that there were some days she could not write anything because he wasn’t always a saint. Imagine the joy in her husband’s face when she handed that notebook to him a year after!
He kept that book with him till he died. Before he died, he made his wife realize how much he loved her everyday based on what she wrote.

Let nothing take the place of sex!
What are you about to do? Ruining your marriage and thinking that sex is not important because you busy with the kids or because you are busy at work? Men will hardly sat that anyway because they know just were to get it. If you think you can starve your husband of sex and think we will still be faithful to you in the next 2 years without threatening to get separated, sister, think again.
I know that marriage is about companionship but I guess there were sparks flying when you met your husband, there was this chemical attraction. That is the chemistry. Five years after and your husband doesn’t feel it? I ask again, what are you about to do?
Imagine when your children leave the nest 18 years after, you and your husbands have being living like strangers in those eighteen years. Is he the one you want to turn to now?
I know it is not easy being a sexy wife, mother and a professional but that is why God gave us the strength that the man does not have and that tongue to sweet-talk your husband in when you want to and when you don’t.
I know from what I have seen and read, most marriages fail because of infidelity and it is usually the wife’s fault. So please, don't let yours be part of the number.

ciao!

Your Skin: A vital part of you

Our skin is the largest organ of our bodies. It is made up of layers of cells and glands and just as it large, lots of activity goes on in there. The skin is kept alive by blood cells and other fluids and as a result of this, it excretes waste products in the form of salty sweat.Also, when you detoxify, the toxins come out through your skin! So you can really agree with me that we need to take good care of our skin.
Below are some of the tips that we can use most especially in this era of global warming.
  • First things first, know your skin type. There are different skin types and they are the normal skin, dry skin, oily skin and the combination skin type( which can be both the oily and normal skin type or dry and normal skin type).
  • Know the right moisturizer for your skin type.
  • Don't ever go sun-bathing without your sunscreen.
  • Anytime you have had a stressful day or you feel sticky, please and please, take your bath.
  • Don't use soaps that are too harsh for your skin. Don't use antiseptic or medicated soap too often. They are not as healthy as you think!
  • For your dry skin, you can use mashed-up avocado with glycerin to moisturize your skin. Avocado is great for dry skin.
  • If you have sunburns or mild allergic reations to a particular make-up product, get some milk out of the fridge, soak in your face in the cold milk by using a clean wash cloth for 5-10minutes and see the amazing effect cool milk will have on your face. Milk has anti-inflammatory properties.
  • To keep your legs looking great, mix one part of baby oil with one part of your body lotion and one part of your favourite sunscreen. Use the mixture on your legs as often as you can, also great for your shoulders.
  • Use exfoliates once in a while to get rid of dead cells from your face. I use St.Ives apricot scrub but oatmeal with your bath gel will do just great.
  • Avoid using astringents all the time.
  • Don't wash your face too often because it will dry out your skin. three to four times a day will do.
  • Try this! Add one teaspoon of baking soda powder with one teaspoon of salt with 3-4 drops of your favourite essential oil into a warm bath. Make your solution salty, soak yourself in and emerge- with a soft and smooth skin. What happened? Baking soda and salt are bases that will increase the alkalinity of the warm bath, helping your skin to release dead cells.If you have yeast infections, please don’t try this. This is because yeast cells thrive in alkaline medium. So bathing in alkaline medium is giving them room to grow.
