HUGS FOR LIFE


July is here and we are loving it already...

Happy New Month Everyone and welcome to a new week.

Over the weekend, I was chatting with a very dear friend and in the course of our conversation,  he said, curvy girls give the best hugs. what do you think?

Did you know that hugging (and also laughter) is very effective at healing sickness, loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress? Let me tell you a quick story.


This one time, I worked in an organization where I thought my boss didn't like me, half the time, it felt like I was walking on egg shells while at work and I dreaded the moments she would scold me over things I did wrong or expectations I didn't meet. At some point, I went through a deeply hurting, personal emotional phase and she found out about it.


The following morning, she called me to her office, I was already wondering what I did wrong and was preparing my mind for an early morning round of scolding. She got up from her seat as I walked into her office, told me in very few words that she knew what I was going through and gave me a long, warm hug, I could even see some tears gather in her eyes as she did. That hug, that hug was EVERYTHING! For a moment, I went from being shocked, to wondering why I ever thought she didn't like me or didn't care about anyone, to loosening up and crying on her shoulders. I felt loved, appreciated, wanted, safe and secured → The power of a hug!


People suffering from depression would be a lot more relieved and better if they got more kind hugs, friendship bonds grow stronger with sincere hugs, heart health improves, moods can be elevated with hugs, stress alleviated with simple, sincere hugs. Don't be selfish with it please.


So, whether you are a curvy girl, man or a size 0, please give out a lot of hugs this week. You just may be saving a life or taking a friendship to the next level. 😉😉😉😉😉😊😊😊


And if you happen to see me anywhere this week, I would be glad to get a hug from you 😊😊💖

Have an awesome week!

SEX & THE PHYSICALLY/MENTALLY CHALLENGED

Image
I had a conversation with a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago and after that I took a while to think if I should write something on this or not. What triggered that conversation was that, a crippled woman on a wheel chair pulled up beside my car in traffic asking for alms; She had an obviously malnourished child who should be about two years old with her and was clearly pregnant with another child. My big rhetorical question was "What kind of person would do this to this woman?" Every now and then we hear stories of physically and mentally challenged people being sexually abused especially the people with mental disabilities, they are raped, maltreated and neglected, sometimes by the very people who are supposed to protect them. They are sometimes left at the mercies of strangers and the cycle of abuse and uncertainties continue. I know that people with disabilities whether physical or mental also have sexual needs because they are human beings with emotional

TAKE A BREATHER, WILL YOU?

It's a casual Tuesday for me Guys, no thanks to my drycleaner 😩😳😞😞 So,  as I was trying to come up with a simple, casual ensemble to wear out this morning, my house keeper walks into my room with my wig all brushed up nicely and handed it over to me, she saw the look of despair on my face as she handed it to me,  and quietly dropped the wig on my dressing table. I told her after dressing up, that I do not want any wigs, extensions or attachments on my hair for a few days , at least until the coming week, "let my hair and scalp breathe",  I said. Sometimes in life, we get to face disappointments, failures or some quite unpleasant situations and try to do all we can to cover for them or at least pretend like they didn't happen or we didn't go through them, and sometimes, we get so worked up over them that we loose our inner peace, sleep and the zest for our passion, dreams, or even life itself. Challenges come, but great times also come too.

FASHION TIPS FOR CURVY GIRLS

Image
In case you don't know yet, size 10 is the new size 6. Being curvy is OK but you need to wear the right stuff and understand that not all latest fashion trends are suitable for curvy girls. We create our own unique style and baby we look hot in it! For my curvy ladies, here are a few tips that could help. Wear dresses that accentuate your best features. You do not want the stomach area to make you look like you are pregnant when you are not . Chose your fabrics carefully, stretch fabric is a good option. Do not hide yourself under a shapeless gown or big skirts. Avoid too many drapes , layers or ruffles on your dresses. Keep it simple, classy and chic. Make Up: Be bold with your make up but make sure you use the right colors, blending colors are still very trendy and gloss really works for pretty curvy girls. Your mascara, blush, red lipsticks should always be close to you (in your bag always if possible). Your Hair: Your hair speaks volumes about you, Keep
