Gideon has always loved Rukkie right from when they were in high school, although he was her admirer and never get the courage to tell her how he felt. He was secretly protecting her from the other boys, from the high school tough girls just to ensure she had a pleasant stay in the college. Source Rukkie was a dancer, she would represent the school in extracurricular activities and Gideon never missed attending those social activities because of her even though he wasn't really a social person. Years passed by and so they both graduated from high school. Rukkie had to relocate to another state after the demise of her beloved father. Funny enough, Gideon has always been her fan on social media, he followed her on all her social handles, from Facebook to Instagram to TikTok, he just derived pleasure from seeing her update and knowing she is fine and secretly wishing they could be together. Rukkie, on the other hand, was living her best life, she was fond of posting her private life o...

You woke up one morning and your skin is itchy, reddish, and scaly. That could be a fungal infection called "Ringworm". Source It is a circular rash that leaves your skin patched and scaly. In my country, the Yoruba dialect calls this infection (Lapa-Lapa)😁 Ringworms aren't found only on the skin, they could be found on the scalp too. It doesn't matter how neat you are, certain things might cause ringworm because it is a fungus in nature. However, poor hygiene increases your chances of having this skin infection. It's either you have touched an infected animal or object. You might have shaken or hugged someone with the infection, or your immune system is poor or you've used an infected public utility. But are there treatments for this skin infection? The good news is that there are cures for it. Proper hygiene is one way to mitigate your chances of contracting this infection, using antifungal cream to apply on the affected area. In my country, I...

Love me naked, I mean love my flaws, and my insecurities and love me for me, Help me to remain confident in my skin, Love me beyond the surface. Source Do you wanna see what's beneath my beauty? It's a broken heart that's trying to be okay, It is this heart that has built a wall around it to keep it safe, Love me beyond my smile, It's these eyes that have cried over so many things, Sometimes I'm just too weak to go on, Would you love me still? When my hair is a mess, and my eyes are dim? Would you love me with no makeup? In a sea of people would you choose to search for me and love me still? Don't say you love me now if you won't love me completely. I don't know how to love half-heartedly, I don't know how to hide who I am, I don't want to go back into my shell, Would you truly love me? Love me beyond the surface or let me be! Thank you for stopping by, till we meet again, this is Amie Geoffrey.

Kemi was at the library that fateful evening, trying to read her books for the upcoming examinations when she realized, the prints on her book seemed doubled all of a sudden. She couldn't see the prints anymore, her vision had gone blurry and she was too scared to scream. source She could see her future shattering through her mind's eyes and she thinks she was about to go blind. She placed her hands on her lips trying to comport herself when the librarian noticed all wasn't well, "Kemi, are you fine?" Miss Ann the librarian asked. Her fearful eyes say no, but then she nods her head in affirmative that all was well. She managed to pick up her book, and she stood up heading for the door, when Miss Ann walked up to her, "Kemi, you look anxious, is everything alright?" "I...I.. don't see clearly anymore," she manages to spill as she burst into tears, holding Miss Ann by the hand, "ha! how come, have you been straining the eyes for some tim...

Pinterest The waist beads are known as "Mgbájí" in the centralized Igbo dialect while another part of the Igbo calls it various names like "Ukwueleke", "Akaraukwu" or "Jigida" This is my beautiful and prominent heritage because I hail from a part of the Igbo land. "Imo state" to be precise. That waist bead is a very beautiful and essential ornament that is made of cowries or very expensive beads using a fishing line or a string to join them together. It is usually worn to beautify a woman's waist, which makes her attractive to the opposite sex and looks more feminine. The waist beads denote royalty, femininity, and fertility in my tribe. My mom told me how this waist bead is an essential part of our culture and a maiden attire on the day of her traditional marriage, known as"Igba Nkwu". No bride ever joked with this waist bead as her attire is never complete without the waist beads. Any man who seeks her hands for marriage...

Anxiety and loneliness weighed upon my heart, In quest of finding myself, I sat apart, I took a leave from all that is making me sad, Stressed, unworthy, and mad. I crave peace, I crave sanity, A few moments of solitude because I want to find myself. Isolation brings about reflection, Reflection brings about self-discovery, Self-discovery brings about growth. I will be back soon to mingle once again, But for now, let me just reflect, In my room alone with my thought I shall remain. source Thank you for stopping by, till we meet again, this is Amie Geoffrey.

"Dad, why did you leave so soon? I should have told you I love you just one more time."  that was the only words Jane could mutter crying profusely. Jane had wanted to spoil her dad with so many gifts and affection, she just graduated from the university and managed to get a job, when Gracie her cousin sent her the most shocking news ever. The only man she had ever loved was involved in a ghastly accident on his way back from the states and couldn't get out alive! The candle was all set as it was his funeral that fateful evening, she was seen in a dark dress and dark eye shades, she read the eulogy and managed to blow the candlelight out as a sign of tribute to her father, the man she has ever loved. 'He would surely be remembered for being an amazing father, uncle, and friend",  Gracie said to her looking right into her eyes afterward she hugged Jane. Source Jane's heart bled, she should have been there for him in the last moments of his life, and she felt g...

I started to observe that the kind of laundry detergent we use on our outfits has a huge role to play on our skin, would you also believe that? Have you ever noticed someone with acne on the chest? This condition is called irritative contact dermatitis and is a very frequent cause of medical consultation. It is a condition in which the skin becomes inflamed, with a burning sensation, pain, heat, sometimes itching, redness and flaking of the skin as a result of abrasive agents, mainly associated with detergents, soaps and chemicals. This is an allergic dermatitis, which should be treated by a physician. To avoid relapses, prevention is essential, avoiding contact with the conditioning and generating agent. -Dr. Marliour Pexel Or have you experienced hand peeling after using a type of soap? This brings us to how we care for our skin. The skin is a very delicate organ of the body and must be cared for appropriately. Regular bathing It's not just about bathing but it is about bathing r...

  We are worlds apart, But our hearts are intertwined, So far away yet so close, The heart works funnily. Source Distance doesn't matter, Time means nothing, The heart doesn't care about those factors, It grows fonder of you every day. To have and to hold, This is what I've always wished for us, I wanna wake up every day beside you, But darling you're far away. The only thing I hold on to, Are the beautiful memories of you, The way I stroke your hair, Your wild smiles and the sound of your voice. My heart has a perfect memory of you, When I wanna feel you, I just reminisce about those precious memories. I hope you come home soon, I miss you so much. Thank you for stopping by, till we meet again, this is Amie Geoffrey.
