Water fasting? The phrase rings an odd bell! Fasting means to deprive the body’s fulfilment of its calorie(nutrient) yearnings. Research has it that you can go without food for about 21 days. But for water, it is only 3-4days. 70% of the body is made up of water, we need to stay hydrated as our bodies are highly sensitive to its water balance. A...

Life is back on track and the new normal isn’t what we thought it was going to look like. I find it infuriating that people think COVID-19 has packed up its baggage and gone to where it came from! Everywhere I look people are not wearing masks, parties are rolling out and I’m the strange one with my face mask!
Hey don’t think I don’t have a life or I got complacent with the lock-down; that’s not what happened at all. All I am asking is a little more...

Overnight oats have become a staple with me – as part of a sumptuous early dinner, a scoop into a small bowl when the cravings start or as a healthy and quick breakfast! I really didn’t make much of it until I moved house and found myself stuck with loads of items to sort through with little to no time to do it.
Enter my Imagination. I quickly googled quick breakfasts and overnight oats came up among other items. I was intrigued and decided to give it a try....

Who doesn’t love trends? Trends are easy to identify, relate with or just curate information from. You may not like the latest vogue but hey don’t be anti-trend! Personally, the current craze over neon bright hair ain’t my thing, but I dig the rainbow I see when the girls are strutting the sidewalks!
One way or the other, we all follow some sorts of trends. People who claim to not dig trends still have people they are patterning stuff after and that’s the essence of trends. Interestingly, some pop culture trends...
How Nigerians Are Celebrating Nigeria’s 60th Independence Day

Hooray it’s our Independence day and ….. there’s no cheering! Nigerians seem unhappy at the state of things in the country. I turned to Twitter this morning to see the trending hashtags celebrating our 60th anniversary and I was surprised to see “#Nigeria60andUseless” as the first one!. I know people have a lot to say about the Nigerian situation but I didn’t think they’d voice out their pain today.
I am of the opinion that today should be celebratory because despite all the things that are wrong, there are so many...

Routines for the ideal naija man or woman ? Yep routine for self care, for child care, car care, routine for virtually anything you can think of at this point, it is safe to say that your routines depend on factors such as time, readiness, plans, interest and so on.

The month of August ushered in two things, fresh Rain and New Yam! If you’re in Lagos (and indeed elsewhere in Naija) the eased lock-down would have had you expectant-exciting aromas of roasted yam with palm oil and veggies,corn on the cob paired off perfectly with African blue pear. But no, we are social distancing and with the rain now here, gathering with friends for an evening of fun and grubs is turfed . What a wow!
Don’t mind my sarcasm, I love the rain. I just don’t feel it’s needed...

Zzzz’ and weight loss, any connection? I’d say an intricate connection! Studies have it that too little sleep wrecks your metabolism encouraging weight gain! Several factors affect sleep: your bedtime rituals, room temperature, mattress quality, your dinner, age, environmental noises the list goes on.
The good news is that much of these factors can be controlled. Rooms that are too cold, too warm, bad mattress, wrong pillows, a stomach crammed with food, noisy neighbors or illness will leave you with shut eyes and restless time in bed. With poor quality sleep...
