10 Ways You Can Take Your Sex Life From 0 To 100 - Part One

There comes a time when your sex life becomes somewhat boring
perhaps because you’re passing through some form of stress or
the other. It is important you consider sex as an important
ingredient necessary for the survival of your relationship or
marriage that you notice a decline in your normal sexual activities.
For this reason, if you find out that your libido is at an all time
low and you’re looking to bolster your sex life in general look no
further as we bring 10 sex tips guaranteed to take your sex life
from 0 to 100 real quick.

▪ Rethink how you define sex.

Getting too caught up in what your sex life should be like is a
common thing for people but if you decide to open up your mind
and talk about the things you think would make your sex life
awesome. Truth is you and your spouse can have very intimate and
loving connection when it comes to eroticism and sex which can help
the both of you achieve orgasm. It is easier for some people to
achieve orgasm while having sex in a mechanical and uninteresting
manner. Some people on the other hand may achieve orgasm
sparsely and some form of dislike and discomfort with penetration
(especially women). These people may however enjoy the closeness
and intimacy that comes with cuddling and physical contact. For
this reason, it’s better you don’t put yourself in anyone’s shoes
when it comes to accepting what they determine as awesome sex.
Carve out your niche. Other people may orgasm infrequently, or
dislike penetration, but love the intimacy and physical closeness
they share with their partner. As such. Lot of things can count
for wonderful sexual experiences from lying in bed with someone
you care for to intimate and erotic kisses and smooching provided
that’s what you want it to be.

▪ Let go of some of the emotional baggage you’ve been carrying.

In recent times, it’s become normal for people to multitask by
juggling so many things together at once. At other times we are
much too busy with our lives and getting to the top of our careers
that we forget to stop and take those short breaths and rest
which are essential for other areas of our existence such as our
sex life. The truth is when it comes to sexual activity, it is
essential you allow your partner access to the deepest parts of the
gender they belong to. Let the man be masculine and the female
feminine as this would help both partners open up themselves to
what their partners intend to give. Even though this seems old
fashioned and perhaps sexist, it’s actually a way to bring out the
best of you both.

▪ Try out a sex diet.

A lot of people know the kind of negative things that come with
some of our regular diets and how difficult it is to stay off a
particularly harmful diet once one is addicted to it. This may
somewhat apply to sex and a good way of having an excellent sex
life is to try taking off sometime from having sex. This sounds
odd but actually taking a three or four week break from sex would
be a good way for you to reconnect and discover new ways of
satisfying yourself and your partner sexually. Trying out the no
sex rule would help you to learn once again, how to turn your
partner on and get them to that orgasmic state including the fact
that it will help you introduce newer ideas into love making. It
sounds crazy, doesn’t it? But trying this out will sure help your sex
life.

▪ Make your bedroom as comfortable as possible.

The power of a neat and clean environment can never be
underestimated. As such it is important you make your environment
as comfortable as possible for sex, as it may be the factor that
would make the difference between sleeping off the minute you
hit the bedroom or going through some much needed action. You
can try clearing out anything not related to sex from your
bedroom such as paper work from your office and toys of your
kids. Create a sexual atmosphere by lighting candles and playing
nice R&B music to set the tone for some awesome sex. Try out new
ideas when it comes to making the bedroom environment sexy as
this as an effect on your mind and boosts your drive for sex. This
is generally good for your relationship or marriage.

#Lifestyle - 7 Reasons Why You Should Have #Sex Everyday

A whole lot of stuff has been written and a whole lot of things
will still be written about the benefits of sex. However, a whole
lot of the benefits written about sex and why couples should engage in it mostly centers around partners achieving orgasm.

Some people seem to forget that to actually achieve orgasm,
you have to be with someone you sexually connect with.

Of course, there are lots of articles that abound on intriguing
sex tips which people that are not in a committed relationship
can engage in so as to enjoy the self-pleasuring effect and
benefits that come with sex, especially as it relates to having good and healthy orgasms. So, irrespective of the side of the divide you belong to, either as a couple or a solo being, check
out this list of healthy side effects of sex:

▪Improved heart condition

The importance of healthy sex in relation to good heart activity
cannot be overemphasised. Just like other forms of physical
activity, studies have found out that sex is a tonic for good
heart rate. Research has shown that the risk of a person who
engages in regular sex and has good orgasms frequently having,
suffering or dying from heart disease issues such as a
cerebrovascular accident (stroke) or heart attacks is at the
minimum. And if you’ve ever found yourself worrying about the
physical exertion that comes with having sex and the effects it
has on the heart, studies have also shown that the most sexually
intense moments (assuming you aren’t unusually vigorous in your activities) gives off approximately the same amount of energy as it takes to walk at the rate of 4 to 6 miles an hour.And it definitely helps you, your heart, and your sex life to exercise and stay in shape overall.

▪Sweet pain relief

It has been proven by psychologists that looking directly at your
partner or even at a picture of them can help ease whatever
pain you may be feeling. During the course of a research, some
anesthesiologists showed people photographs of their romantic
partners or photos of attractive strangers, and asked them to
engage in a word game. They found that looking at romantic
partners significantly dulled and reduced the experience of pain.
So even though you may think pain is a barrier to sex, consider
the pain that comes with sex as one of the benefits that is
worth the time and effort invested in it. Make out time to take
long states at your lover. Moreover, some other studies have
also found out that another way women may get relief from
menstrual cramps may be to achieve orgasm.

▪Less stress

Healthy sex has been found to offer almost the same type of
soothing comfort and effects that sugary foods give as regards
reducing stress. Researchers have come up with a theory that
the reduction in stress occurs mostly because the pleasure
pathways of the brain are triggered by sex, just as they are,
for some, by sweet treats. And perhaps the effects of sex as a
form of reducing stress has a much more last longing effect
than we often think.

▪Cancer prevention

Other research studies have also suggested that men may be
able to reduce the risk and chances of having prostate cancer
proportionately by having their testicles appropriatelystimulated and having frequent and good orgasms. While more
research is on going on this subject matter, it would be a
welcome development and sex benefit to all male folk.

▪Better sleep

Although scientists do not have a good grasp of the way and
manner in which sex helps to improve sleep patterns, ample
evidence exists that it actually does. As such, don’t be
surprised if you find out that you and your partner doze off the
moment you’re done with a gratifying and fulfilling sex bout -
and you both wake up hours later feeling refreshed and rejuvenated!

▪Better mood

If you’ve ever had sex, you’d know that post sex positive
outlook that comes after. This can be explained from the angle
of the various biochemical reactions that occur after sex which
help to experience improved mood. This is a major sex benefit
which we owe to the neurotransmitters which are released
during sexual activity and other mood enhancers that are
released with semen. And of course, there’s also that effect of
the after sex feel that boosts your mood and that of your
partners which come as a result of having some form of
connection with someone you love.

▪Glowing skin

Everyone can relate to that fabled morning after glow that has
been attributed to sex for ages. It is not just some fabled
imagination as people really do look better after having sex. Sex
has been found to help people look younger and the glow that is
seen as been found out to be a combination of the flush of blood
under the skin which is a part of the arousal process and a
combination of good mood and stress relief.

Enjoying a healthy sex life should be seen as one of the great
joys of life to be lived and knowing that sexual intimacy can be a
boost for your health as well makes it a more pleasurable thing
to be experienced.

#Sex - 5 Things That Can Destroy Your Sex Life

Ever wondered why can destroy your sex life? Find out here and ways you can save it

1. Poor Nutrition

people who don’t eat well are bound to have problem with their sex life. According to a journal that was published in the” Journal Of Sex And Marital Therapy”, a clinical study shows that nutritional supplement significantly increases sexual desire,satisfaction with sexual relationship and improves vaginal dryness. So, eating healthy balanced diet can boost your sex drive more than you can imagine. But really, who wants to have sex when they have had nothing good to eat in a long while;absolutely nobody. Poor nutrition is a sure way to destroy your sex life.

2. Stress:

Stress is a common factor when it comes to depletion of sex drive. It is hard to not be stressed when you have a lot on your mind especially how to survive the hustle of the day, create a better means of livelihood for yourself and deal with the various hectic conditions that come with living in a country like Nigeria where you have poor electricity supply, terrible roads that lead to even more terrible traffic, delay in the payment of salary,unemployment and so on. Your mind is filled with truck load of worries and of course, sex is the least of those worries. In no time, your sex life will begin to suffer and your drive for sex will no longer be what it used to be. In order to counter stress, try calming exercises like deep breathing, meditation or yoga.

You can also listen to music to calm you. Good health and nutrients are other ways you can battle stress.

3. Low energy:

Sleep is one of the major causes of low energy and low energy is also one of the major things that can destroy your sex drive.

When you’re tired, sex is the least thing on your mind and it feels like a burden. It is advisable to get enough sleep in order to boost sex drive.Go to bed earlier than you normally do, take a relaxing bath, light body massage or foot rub before you go to bed in order to improve your sleep quality. It is also a very great idea to have sex in the morning as the energy is always high then especially after a fitful night sleep.

4. Terrible Timing:

We can all agree that there are times when we are not in the mood for any form of romance at all especially times when you are anxious, depressed or in a foul mood.

It is hard to feel any passion at these times and so, when the partner meets them for sex, it often feels as if they are being cornered or pressured into doing what they are not meant to do.This will make you always cringe at the idea of sex and run completely from it.Lack of “us time” with your partner can also ruin you sex drive. Find time for your partner and always try to meet him halfway.

5. Medical conditions:

Medical conditions like low hormone levels, erectile dysfunction, pelvic pains etc are also major things that can ruin your libido.

As you grow older or when you start to notice your sex drive dropping and it is not any of the above, consult your doctor for a thorough medical checkup. Do not wait till it is totally bad before you go for a thorough examination at the hospital.

When you notice your partner’s sex drive dropping, you should be of help by asking them what is going on and be open to learn to get better. Lack of communication can also ruin your sex drive.

#Lifestyle - "Relationship Tips" 4 signs your man is a keeper

How do you know your man is worth keeping? According relationship
experts, keepers exhibit a set of beliefs, actions, and ideals that keep
relationships thriving through the good times and the bad.

Although physical attraction also counts in choosing a partner, these
keeper qualities are really important. Which means for the single ladies
still searching be sure to check if the man in your next relationship is a
keeper.

Dr. Randi Gunther of Good Men Project lists few of these qualities of
a keeper:

1. They’re self-accountable Keepers are not afraid to question
themselves. They clearly put knowledge ahead of ego-preservation
and seek ways to help their relationships stay successful. They ask
themselves what they could do to change them for the better. They
are not out to win at their partner’s expense. Yet, keepers don’t
automatically give up their point of view when challenged. You know
them by their combination of ego, strength, and flexibility. They
not only hold their integrity under fire, but also expect that kind of
behavior from people they respect.

2. They see humor as a sacred part of relationships People who find the
humor in life are more resilient to disappointments. They don’t
laugh inappropriately or use humor to mock, but they do maintain
perspective that keeps them aware. Yet, they also have a keen
sense of perspective, and don’t use humor to lighten up situations
that need to stay serious. They have learned the value of timing and
a compassionate heart, and can process sorrow and joy with the
same gentle appreciation for life.

3. They’re authentic Keepers feel responsible for what they say or do.
They don’t pretend to portray someone (or something) they are
not, or automatically agree with something that they don’t. They
wish to remain transparent because they don’t play games or want
to participate in any. They’d rather hear the truth from others,
too, even if it’s uncomfortable. Keepers choose partners who value
them for their honesty. They don’t take that right lightly, nor do
they use their authenticity to unnecessarily point out other’s
faults.

4. They seek continuous transformation Keepers are genuinely
committed to learning from the past and projecting the future
more effectively. To do that, they willingly seek constant new ways
of seeing their lives unfold. They learn from their mistakes and
believe in their dreams. Most people will choose security and
predictability over challenge or change. Keepers successfully blend
the two. They cherish traditions, but always search for better
ways to help themselves and others. This way of being makes them
ever interesting and exciting to constantly be around.

Things You Must Vow To Do To Your Wife Before You Say “I Do”

We can all agree that marriage is no longer what it used to be. Year after year, we find the essence of marriage being lost and people getting married for the wrong reasons. People getting married to fulfill societal righteousness, please their family, have kids, etc. And so, it is easy to break a marriage off as soon as they can no longer “cope” with the person they married. There is no longer the need to stay committed to one’s spouse, to weather the storm together; once they get tired of each other or things get “too tough”, they are quick to call it quits.

Divorce lawyers are on the rise daily and people no longer want to stay till death separates them but till “irreconcilable differences” tear them apart. This is so because people no longer understand what it is to be in a relationship with another person, to truly commit to another person; even at the most difficult times. We all get so easily carried away with the physical attraction and superficial emotions that we do not take our time to think about what marriage is about before popping the question or agreeing to marry someone.

So, if you’re planning to settle down soon (even if it is not so soon) or you’re already married (it is never too late to have a fresh attitude towards your marriage and partner), make a vow to do these things to your wife always:

#1. Vow To Stick By Her “In Sickness And In Health”: there is a reason this part of your original vows because it is actually not easy to stick by someone when they are sick. Sick in this context does not mean when she is down with premenstrual cramps, or menstrual cramps, cold or early morning sickness; it means even the days when she is very moody and cranky, when she is going through a life altering challenge at work, with her family or even when is having issues. Vow to stand by her at her toughest times and weather the storm together. The true test of your love is when you can stand by that person when the cloud is the darkest, not when it is the sunniest.

#2. Vow To Make Her A Priority: negligence has destroyed more homes than we can ever imagine. A man who focuses on his business more than he does on his home will have a split marriage in no time. I’m not saying you should not pursue your dreams and achieve your goals (please do, as you need the money to keep your family alive) but do not go overboard that your family will suffer. In fact, I’ve come to know that men who put family as number 1 always tend to be not only successful but happy. So, always try to find a balance between your work and your home.

#3. Vow To Always Show Her How Much She Means To You: it can get really crazy sometimes especially in a country like ours where you have to deal with waking up early, battling with traffic to get to work and then coming back late, tired and very sleepy. So, it is very easy to just forget to appreciate your spouse or do something special for her. Every now and then, try and do something for her to show her much you are grateful to have her in your life and how much you love her. It may not be buying her shiny diamond jewelry or bringing breakfast to her in bed, it may just be as easy as staring deep into her eyes and telling her you love her. Just make sure you show it her as often as possible so that she will never forget it.

#4. Vow To Always Take Care Of Yourself: okay, this is very important. It is not only women that should take care of their bodies; men should too. Don’t because you’ve finally gotten married, you should stop taking care of yourself. Of course, she loves and accepts you for your flaws and she is not into you for the physical attributes but we can all agree that something physical may have attracted her to you at first before the deep qualities started coming to play. Don’t lose the packs, the beards or the “swag”. I know you’re getting old and all these things are hard to “maintain” but come on, you want her to still be sexy even after 2-4kids, right? So, pay attention to yourself, eat healthy, drink healthy, be healthy and fit too.

#5. Vow To Do Your Best For Your Children: so many are fathers but not worthy to be used the title for. As you’ve vowed to make her your priority, vow to do everything possible to always give the best to her (your) children. And by best, I’m not talking about things only money can buy, even the things money can’t afford like morals, love, care, attention, support, give to them. Even the bible admonishes that you train your child in the best way possible so he/she will never depart from it as they grow and they can pass on the good lessons to their own kids.

#6. Vow To Make Her Better Person Than She Was Before You Married Her: I’ve seen so many women losing it just after months of being married. They look so sad, worn out, confused and you wonder what the hell is going on in her home. As a man, never make your wife a ghost of what she used to be. Don’t because she’s tied to you make her lose her identity. You should vow to make her a better person than she was before you married her. Support her, comfort her, pamper, love her as she deserves (or more than she deserves). An unhappy and frustrated wife will only make your home hell for you. Don’t turn her into a slave in the name of being submissive. Always put in mind that your wife is a reflection of everything you are about. If your wife is shabby and tattered, it tells a lot about you and your upbringing.

#7. Vow Never To Abuse Her: okay, I had to put this because some Africans see it as a normal thing to beat their wives. They see it as a form of instilling discipline and respect. If you are of this class, please stop and rethink. It is very abnormal to beat a woman and it doesn’t instill anything, it only makes her even more rebellious and stubborn. Don’t curse or abuse her verbally all in the name of talking sense into her. Never withdraw cash from her to teach her a lesson. There are plenty ways a mature man can get his wife to do things he wants without being vulgar or violent, the trick is called “communication”.

#8. Vow To Stay Till The Very End: if your very end means till you’re tired, you can’t stand her anymore or you’ve found a better option, please delete those meanings from your dictionary and insert “till death actually do you both part”. I know it may seem so scary; the thought of spending forever with one person scares me too but hey true love conquers all fears. When you truly love someone deeply for the right reasons, staying committed to them till the end of time is the only gift you can give them. Be ready to cross every bridge, to build, to grow with them. No matter how tough the journey may be (because every relationship has its ups and downs), always make a promise to stick around.

I did not put “vow not to cheat on your wife” on the list because a man who vows to do all the above listed things to his wife will not want to hurt her. She is a priority and her happiness will be your joy. I know these things sound so difficult to do but once your mind is made up, it becomes a habit. Will it be worth it? Definitely. You will be reaping the fruits of your good labour for many years to come.

Note that this is not limited to guys alone, women should also vow to do these things to the men in their lives. One sided effort will only destroy the marriage. And you don’t have to be married before you start doing these things, if you really love the girl or the guy and you’re certain you want them to be part of your future, please start with your relationship; practicing will bring about perfection when you eventually get married.

8 MISCONCEPTION THAT PREVENT YOU FROM BEING HAPPY

Being happy is surely the goal of everyone, despite the fact that
happiness differs from person to person. “Rise up this morning,
smile with the rising sun…” I’m absolutely agree with Bob Marley
– this is what we all want, but often can`t do. Why? Well, there
are a lot of limits in our life that we subconsciously set up for
ourselves. These things never let us feel satisfied and it all looks
like an illusory cage. The truth is that we make it ourselves and
we`re the only ones who can destroy it. Get rid of these 8 widely
spread misconceptions and the cage`ll fall for you to enjoy every
moment of your
priceless life.

1. Something should happen
Do you sometimes catch yourself waiting for something to happen
for you to be happy? It`s the first thing you should learn to
avoid. All it gives is disappointment. You wait and wait and then
wait again. Realize that there`s no time for waiting. If
something beneficial is going to happen, it doesn`t mean you
should take no actions meanwhile. Continue loving things around
you and don`t count on some miracle. This way, you don`t depend
on the circumstances and get more freedom. Happiness is all
about freedom, isn`t it?

2. I should always consider the other people`s
opinion about me
Can you keep smiling when someone says you`re not
successful enough for that? If yes, then you should think about
the following: do you really find it useful to let other people
decide whether it`s time for you to be happy or not? People are
different, when one appreciates you, the other always finds
something terrible in your behavior. Wake up! Happy people aren`t
happy because of the others` approval. They smile because they
don`t let anyone affect their emotional state.

3. I should earn more money
Money isn`t everything. They can only solve your
financial problems. There are much more serious
obstacles on our way. Of course, making a lot of money is a good
thing, but you can be gladder to see the shining eyes of your
friend or partner even with no penny in the pocket. There are no
bills to pay for the clear sky over your head and pure love of your
family.

4. Buying brand new stuff is a must
Buying something new and popular is only a temporary
satisfaction, not to mention that you spend your hard- earned
money on things you don’t actually need. Wasting money on
something useless isn`t the way out of real troubles. It`s the
same as drinking alcohol: when something is wrong and you decide
to drink you don`t solve the problem, but only get a chance to
forget about it for a while. Then, you understand that the
problem still exists and you`ve only wasted your time. Buying too
much brand new stuff is only a little drowsiness that keeps you
away from the reality.

5. I should take full control of my life
You can’t control everything that happens to you in life.
Nevertheless, there are always more positive moments than
negative ones in life. The most difficult thing is to see positivity
around and stop focusing on troubles only. Imagine having a full
control over your life. I guess it would be terribly boring.
Unexpectedness makes your life interesting and exciting along
with its risky surprises, if you can find the benefits in every
situation.

6. I should definitely have a partner
Most people with no partner feel lonely and depressed. They
suppose that relationships`ll make their life happier. Yes,
everybody needs a soulmate but that`s not the reason to feel
depressed until you find someone. Don`t count on and don`t wait
for someone to satisfy you. Only when you`re able to be happy
with yourself, you`ll have a truly strong and successful
relationship.

7. Perfect life is a happy life
You`re not a machine, thus you can`t be happy all the time. Each
person has some hard times and that`s natural. You shouldn`t
regard yourself as a loser if you go through the rough times.
Even the most popular people face difficulties. Happiness doesn`t
mean perfectness, it means you should learn how to cope with any
problems you’ll face down the road.

8. I should look perfectly beautiful
Being beautiful is pleasant and it gives a lot of advantages.
However, beauty can also turn into a trouble. There are many
people who suffers from their perfect appearance as everyone
around doesn`t care about their opinion or their hobbies and
interests, besides there are so many jealousy around when you
look like Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt. There`s no need to be a
perfectly beautiful for
happiness. You should love your body and take care of it as
eventually everyone is beautiful in their own way.

Happiness is real and it`s always close to us. You should decide
what being happy means to you personally. Give no chance for
others to make you do what they want you to. Happiness hides in
simple things that are always around us. Just get rid of those
misconceptions that don`t let you see the positive sides of your
own independent life. Do you already know what makes you fully
happy and what are you going to reach in your life?

5 Things Guys Should Stop Doing That Makes Girls Feel So Important And Arrogant

In as much as body nobi firewood and we know that nature has designed it in such a way that men naturally gets attracted to the opposite sex, but you will agree with me that too much of everything is truly bad.

When a guy lacks self control whenever he sees a girl and start reasoning with his joystick all the time instead of his brain, then you know that it has indeed gotten out of hand and such guys should retrace their steps and mental reasoning unless they remain woman wrapper and keep on chasing things under the skirt throughout their lifetime instead of using most of their times to achieving other great things in live.

It is sad to know that many guys out there belong to such categories and the female folks have taken advantage of that to remain arrogant and fill themselves with so much ego, meanwhile many of them are just bimbos.

If you are woman sick that you don't always control yourself at the sight of pretty girls or anything lady, you need some cool mental therapy. I do tell people that between man and woman attractions, that it all has to do with your mind on the part of guys and nothing much, you can be in company of bevies without shaking all the time or having to reason with your joystick, it is just a mind thing and nothing special. Here are the 5 things guys should endeavor to stop doing mostly in front of girls that over raises the girls self esteem and always placing them where most of them don't even belong.

1. Stop being idle and get busy- An idle mind is truly a devils workshop, if you are always busy, you will notice that most times you won't have much time for the ladies and they will not move you all the time. But when you are less busy, you always think of them and whenever a beautiful girl passes, you gaze helplessly and always feel like getting under her, and sometimes in your idleness you start self- servicing.

2. Stop giving them so much attention - girls generally are attention seekers, and the more you give it to them they more shakara they do. Give girls much attention at your own peril. Girls are no higher being, they are equal creatures as you, nothing much special, even the 2 minute satisfaction you get when you lay them doesn't worth breaking your head over girls... I always laugh at guys that fight after ladies and will never stop laughing. I haven't seen any girl in this world that is not my wife that I will fight my fellow guys because of, moreso when there are many fishes in the river.

3. The rich dude should stop spoiling them with money- It is funny at times how this guys spend money on girls, not because they truly love the girls but just because they want to have them at their beck and call on their bed anytime they need to satisfy themselves sexually. You don't even need to buy a girl a million Naira worth of smartphone before you can lay her, then why spend the money carelessly on one unloyal babe out there that is only loyal because of your full pocket and when you have millions of people out there that genuinely need the money for at least their upkeep. Instead of me to spend millions on girl because I just want to get under, I rather dash the money out to some helpless folks out there, I think by so doing, I will be much more than satisfied.

4. The students one should stop doing all the assignments for their female counterpart - For Gods sake, both the guys and girls are in school for the same purpose, and I am not saying that you should not assist them atimes when the need truly arise, but a situation where you do all the assignment for the babes and sometimes you haven't even done yours, just because you want to please her...I laughs at you, because whether you do for them or not, the lecturer will still give them good grades after using them and you that is the good Samaritan will come out with poor grades. Not only that, you are not encouraging them in any way by so doing.

5. the working class guys with authority, Stop giving more preference in employing more ladies because of your personal interest of getting under - For another God's sake, guys are smarter and will even contribute more to the development of your company than the female bimbo you just employed to be looking at her face anytime she comes to work.

Well I have said my own o, any one wey wan hear should hear and if you no wan hear, it is still left for you, you have your choice.

20-year-old Sodiq Sulaimon, yesterday appeare before an Ikeja High Court for allegedly procuring abortion for his 15-year-old lover who died in the process.

The defendant is facing a one-count charge of manslaughter brought against him by Lagos State Government, for which he pleaded not guilty.

“Sodiq Sulaimon, on or before December 11, 2012, about 4p.m., at 7 Oriokuta Street, Imota, Ikorodu Lagos, in the Ikeja Judicial Division, did unlawfully kill the girl (names withheld) by procuring abortion for her,” the charge stated.

At the resumed hearing, a witness, Sergeant Elizabeth Osikanlu, told the presiding judge, Justice K. A. Jose, that the matter was referred to her after one Femi Adegboyega came to the station to report that the defendant impregnated his niece and gave her drugs to abort a five-month-old pregnancy.

According to her, the defendant admitted having sexual intercourse with the deceased sometime in October 2012 and giving her two tablets to prevent pregnancy.

7 Interesting Ways Women Turn Men On

 

Has your sexual regime reached a dead end? Feeling bored? Follow our seven step sexual guide and feel your lost libido recharged…

1. Change your sexual routine
Analyse your sexual regimen. Is it highly predictable? Is it more of a race to reach an orgasm? If so then perhaps you are in the midst of a sexual rut. So, get up and try breaking the sexual norm by doing the opposite of what you normally do. If you’re having sex in darkness, try it in the morning or in the afternoon. If you’re always getting down and dirty in the bedroom, enjoy a quickie on the kitchen counter or under the shower. If your man is always on top, surprise him by taking charge. Change your sexual POA to inject freshness into your sex life.

2. Show him the booty
It’s not always a great idea to sashay around the house in sexy lingerie and killer heels if you want an instant arousal in your man. Why don’t you surprise him by doing the dusting totally naked wearing a sexy G-string or indulge in some sexy shopping together. Men are turned on by what they see – so show him.

3. Make enough time
While sex is supposed to be spontaneous, unbridled passion, the pressure of jobs, children, and managing domestic chores leaves us with no time for sex. Try to give him hints that you are looking forward to a romp. Send suggestive and naughty texts and emails throughout the day. Spontaneity is a great mood builder and the anticipation and build up of something planned can be lots of fun.

4. Look back…
Remember the early days when you were in the first throes of lust when it was hard to keep your hands of each other? Most couples remember their initial years with affectionate nostalgia, so try and recreate those memories. Plan a nice dinner, reminisce about the first time you saw each other, what attracted you initially, and your first date. Recall the sexual connection, the pet names, personal jokes. Put on some sensuous music and dance around your living room to the song you first danced to. Recreate the thrill of having sex by doing it somewhere you might get caught! You share a rich history, so indulge in it a little – those that do are the couples that stay connected.

5. It’s good to talk
Never sleep with anger within you. The unwritten rule of a great relationship is to really talk. Be open and honest. Talk about things you don’t like in each other, irritating habbits. But remember to discuss the positive traits too – communicate what’s important in your relationship; simply talking about why you love each other can help keep the passion alive.

6. Retain the mystery
A little bit of mystery adds spark to your love life. Sometimes when you are living with each other for years, you get too comfortable with each other and tend to be yourself with your partner. So keep the mystery alive and add some spice to your relationship.

7. Indulge your senses
Turn your bedroom into an erotic boudoir by adding loads of silk, satin sheets and colours that make you feel sexy. Cook aphrodisiacal meals together with naughty ingredients that really s-excite the taste buds, or share a candlelit bath with fragrant bubbles and scented oils. Make the time to indulge your senses and you’ll soon your libido replenished.

Things A Man Should Do Before He Is Thirty (2)

Last time out, we talked about some amazing things that every guy below 30 is expected to have done. Some of these things include knowing how to drive, dance, swim, going on a road trip and starting your own business. We would be looking at more interesting things that you are expected to do before this milestone age as they would form the memories of your old age.
Moreover, if you are getting close to your thirtieth birthday and you’re yet to do these things do not fret as there is still ample opportunity for you to participate in these events. Some other amazing things are highlighted below.

Make love by the sea
This is all about getting the crazy part of you out and doing the unthinkable that you can look back on in the future and say “damn! I was crazy”. Making love by the sea is the dream of most ladies and as a guy, you owe her the duty of performing this untamed obligation. There’s a caveat here though, make sure you’re alone as you may get arrested for public indecency.

Build and Repair
Every guy in his formative years has tried his hands on a bit of construction or dismantling. Whichever the case may be, ensure that you have tried out your hands on mending a broken fence, repairing faulty electrical devices or fixing broken things around the house. These actions help to eschew your manly attributes.

Host a memorable party
Well, it is quite important for you to have hosted a party that will be a point of reference for friends in years to come. We are talking of parties where there are significant happenings that would become exaggerated in years to come.

Tell someone special you love them
If you’re nearing 30, and you’ve never said “I love you” to someone and truly mean it, it probably means you’ve been locked up without interactions. It is important for you to have showed your emotions and be attached emotionally to people before this. We hope you would have at least found someone to express your love to as it is a part of modern life to express your emotions.

Overcome a fear
Well, everyone of us have something we are scared of which we all should overcome as we grow older. Before you are 30, you should have identified a particular fear of yours and found ways of getting over them. Whether, it is a dear of heights, enclosed places or swimming, take a bold step and participate in that activity you fear the most as that is a way of overcoming them.

Stay awake all night
Either to make free calls to that loved one, party all night or to complete series of movies, you should have found a worthy cause to stay awake all night. You will look back on what made you stay awake 20 years from now and wonder where all the energy went.
Donate to a worthy cause
Donating to a worthy cause will help bring out the humanity in you, even as you realise that material wealth is vanity and meant to be enjoyed for only a short time. You will realise as time goes by that money comes and goes and whatever you give will sooner or later come back to you. So, making a difference in the lives of people is something you should do before you’re 30.

Eat a weird meal
This might sound crazy, but you have eaten something very weird that you can’t help but wonder what you were thinking when you did so.

Drive an amazing car
We talked about you knowing how to drive; this time around, we expect that having mastered the art of driving, you will proceed to drive an amazing car before you’re 30. It could be a high speed vehicle like a Ferrari or a powerful Sports utility vehicle (SUV). The essence is to unleash the wild
side within.

Seen another country
This might be tough for some folks, but if you can, experience life from the point of view of a different race, culture and way of life. This will help broaden your horizon for the future.

Go Camping
Either as a scout in your younger days or an adventurous youth, we hope you would have experienced the connection to mother nature through camping activities.
Ok, that’s it for things a man should do before he is 30, we hope our readers have participated in most, if not all of these activities. If you haven’t, you can create a checklist and tick off what you’ve achieved while having a reminder of what you’re yet to do.
Cheers!

LIFESTYLE: Real Reasons Women Cheat

Jumping into bed, having multiple sexual partners and getting turned on by sight are some of the numerous stereotypes attaches to men.
However, one thing you might not know is that when it comes to cheating, both sexes are more equal than you think.
Here are four reasons women cheat on their partners.

A. Not feeling celebrated–or wanted. Women love when they are complimented on their looks, dressing and food every once in a while. For women, compliments go more than the physical, it is an emotional thing for them. And when a woman gets compliments from a man she loves, it makes her feel good and a lot more happier than she might be at the moment.
When the compliments never come however, or when she starts looking for it and her man doesn’t give her, then she would start to find it somewhere else. Somewhere where she would believe she is loved.
So when a co-worker, a friend or male boss starts complimenting her, she would feel more loved and believe she is more noticeable to that person. When the issue of intimacy arises with such person, she is likely to cheat before she thinks.

B. Feeling a relationship is ending- when a woman feels her relationship is hitting the rocks, most time she finds a rock for support. Whether she is the one ending it or not, when she senses that the end is near, she would need support. Someone to hold on to, to talk to, to lean on his shoulder. And women like to be listened to, to be cuddled, to be heard.
If she finds someone who can offer her these during her “trying” period, a level of intimacy is likely to begin and “things” are 90percent likely to happen. Like they say, a shoulder to cry on may eventually be a dick to ride on!

C. If she is bored-women love to have fun. Not just shopping or attending parties or any other type of physical fun but emotional fun. Women love to laugh, so when a woman laughs a lot with a man, know she is happy. That she is in love. When a woman hardly laughs in a relationship and stress now overwhelms her smiling moments, she would begin to get bored and worse sad.
Then she would begin to look for ways to stay happy. Whoever offers this happiness at this period becomes her saviour. She is likely to stay more with this person and become emotionally into this new person.

D. The sex- no, men aren’t the only ones who love good sex in relationships. Women do too. And you know what, when it goes bad, women don’t like it too!
When the sex goes from fair to bad to worse or from irregular to non-existent, a woman begins to want more.

Men aren’t the only one who don’t attach emotions to sex. Women have the ability to also separate pure lust from love. A woman who decides she wants more sex than what she is getting can step out of the relationship to get some every once in a while.

#LIFESTYLE : Why Do We Have Sex?

“Sex is hard to explain,” writes Michael Brothurst in a recent article in the journal Science. Like others in his field, Brothurst, who studies the evolution of sexual reproduction at the University of Liverpool, doesn’t “get” men.
“Since males can’t reproduce by themselves and often contribute nothing except genes to their offspring, a population of asexual females can grow at double the rate of a population that reproduces sexually,” he writes.

Why, then, do males exist at all? Why do most plants and animals have two sexes — that is, two sexes who have sex with each other — instead of just one?
The most likely explanation is known as the Red Queen hypothesis, named after the monarch in Lewis Carroll’s “Through the Looking Glass.” In that novella, Alice and the Red Queen hold a race in which they run in place but never get anywhere. Somewhat analogously, the Red Queen hypothesis holds that organisms and the parasites that live on them are running a race in which they constantly evolve in response to each other’s genetic mutations , maintaining an overall balance.

As parasites evolve to take advantage of the weaknesses of a typical host organism, Brothurst explains, host organisms with rare versions of genes, known as alleles, are less susceptible to the parasites, and so stand a better chance of surviving to their reproductive age; likewise, their offspring are endowed with these advantageous alleles. As a result, over generations these organisms’ rare alleles become more common in the population, so parasites start evolving to take them on. At that point new unusual alleles begin to flourish among the hosts.
Sex, the theory holds, gives host organisms a leg-up on this evolutionary treadmill. “This continual selection for rarity favors sexual reproduction over asexual reproduction; sexual recombination allows hosts to reshuffle their pack of alleles and generate new, rare combinations in their offspring,” Brothurst writes.

Evidence in favor of the Red Queen hypothesis comes from many walks of life. Among freshwater snails that can reproduce both sexually or asexually, more males (and thus more sexual reproduction) occur in shallow areas where the snails are more likely to get infected by flukes, a type of parasite. In Brothurst’s words, “This suggests that infection promotes sex.”
However, up until now, researchers didn’t know for sure whether flukes (to use the previous example) are actually best adapted to their snail hosts. Maybe the two species haven’t been coevolving at all, in which case the very foundations of the Red Queen hypothesis would crumble.

Levi Morran of Indiana University and his colleagues have given the Red Queen theory a new boost. In the lab, the researchers pitted roundworms against a species of bacteria that kills them, and observed what happened as the two coevolved. Turns out, roundworms that produced asexually were killed off in just 20 generations, while sexually reproducing worms were able to continually evolve to fend off their bacterial attackers.
In a race to stay in the same place, it seems that sex is key.

Six types of Guys Women should avoid Dating

Every woman has her type of man which varies most of the time, but there are some type of men women run away from.

1. The Little boy

Some men live in the glory of the days there were without any form of responsibilities, when they didn’t have to own up to anything financially/emotionally.  These type of men can’t be straightforward, stay at a job or even “have a life”. No woman wants to be in a relationship with this type of man.

2. The financially Irresponsible Man

These type of men live above their means, spend lavishly on what they don’t need, do not have any structured plan on how to spend their money or invest. No woman wants to be with this type of man. Women need men who can be responsible financially, have a scale of preference and spend his money wisely.

3. Mr Self Container

This type is self obsessed, would go to the ends of the world to look good and spend money on vain things. As much as women love their men to look good and be the envy of all, none wants a man who would place them second, next to indulging in vain things.

4. The Wandering eye guy

No woman whatsoever wants to be with a man who can’t keep his eyes in a direction. Some men compliment and flirt with every woman possible save the one they are with. This makes women uncomfortable and unattrctive. Most women run in the opposite direction when they see this type.

5. The Liar

A man who lies about everything from his job, to his exes, to his flings, to his family is not in any way attractive to women. Women hate men that lie. Whether the lie is black or white or any other colour available on the rainbow, a woman cannot stand any man that lies to her. These type of men are “undatable” to women.

6. Mr Block head

Some men can’t hold a simple conversation for five minutes. It is cute at the beginning of the relationship when the man allows the woman talk more but after a while, she gets bored. No woman wants to be with a man who can’t hold a conversation or worse still who cannot make any intelligent conversation.

Things A Man Should Do Before He Is 30 Thirty - Part (1)

Are you getting close to the golden number 30 on the face of the earth? There are certain things mother nature expects that you should have done before you reach that milestone. It is our belief that a lot of the male folk always seem to limit themselves to certain activities but I bring an array of things we expect all males to have participated in or gone out of their way to do. This is made more true because once you’re 30, there are added responsibilities heaped on your shoulders and as such you might not have as much time to indulge in activities considered frivolous.
For this reason I present a checklist of things I think you should have done before you’re 30.

Give up your seat
Well, this is very important especially in the formative years of a man. You have to have given up your seat on a crowded bus to an elderly person, lady or pregnant woman. Nothing defines or makes a man more than good manners. Giving up your seat even when not comfortable for you helps build your compassion and resilience for the battles you’d face in the years to come.

Go on a road trip
It is important to take at least one road trip before you’re 30. Get out of your immediate environment and comfort zone and see other parts of the country. The destination could be anywhere you’re not familiar with and just follow where mother nature leads you to. Where you will stay might not be pre-booked, just go with your intuition.

Learn how to drive
Most males are able to conquer this challenge but nonetheless it is important to be able to master the art of driving before you’re 30.

Score the winner in a sport game
It is expected that before you’re 30, you would have participated in one sporting event or the other. What is more important for you to have achieved is to be the decider in one of these events. This could be taking the winning shot in a basketball game or scoring the deciding goal in a penalty shootout out. It will be an event you can always refer to when discussing with your friends in years to come and one you can look back on and be proud of yourself for.

Know how to dance and dance with a stranger
For the geeky and the shy ones, it is pertinent for them to learn how to dance even if it is to make few signature moves that can get them applauded. The few dancing moves you’ve learnt doesn’t matter in as much as you’ve taken it a notch higher by dancing with a stranger. This can be at a club or while you take a road trip to an unfamiliar place, the most important thing is dance with someone you’re not acquainted with. This will come in handy as you get older and you find yourself in unavoidable “dance situations”.

Try out singing and Rapping
Well, if you passed through the teenage and youthful years and you’re yet to try out singing and rapping, then you sure must add it to your to do list. Years from now when your kids are all grown, you can tell them how you were a member of a rap group or band that didn’t really do well.

Make your own cocktail
You should most definitely have done the youthful cocktail mix irrespective of how the mix tastes. It will be something to brag about in the years to come.

Catch, kill and cook a meal
If you ever went through university or college in this clime and you never participated in catching; killing and cooking a domestic animal and you’re not yet thirty, you’ve got limited time to try out this adventure. There is definitely something enthralling about this adventure especially when you add taking crops directly from the earth. Try it out before you’re thirty.

Start your own business
Be it a little selling business on the side or a business of yours where you work full time, it is important that you start your own business before you are 30. All the men on Forbes such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Aliko Dangote all started from humble beginnings. And who knows, you just might be the next.

Learn how to swim
This might not be so important to some but if you don’t know how to swim yet, it is better you learn how to do so before you’re 30. And when you’ve mastered it you can take a high dive into a pool just to show off.

5 Things We Should Spend More Money On, And 5 Things We Should Not

Imagine that you are sitting on the front porch of your house sipping lemonade with your family on a warm summer’s night. You sit back and reminisce with them about how you… bought the newest HG TV?

Materialistic gratification only lasts so long. It is said that our brains adapt to  happiness. With materialistic things buying our happiness, we are successful for a brief moment. New things will lose their shine and we will lose our interest.

Instead of spending your money on things that will eventually be obsolete, try spending it on something that will make lasting memories. Memories become a part of our lives forever and help make us who we are. The good experiences will forever stay good in your mind forever and the bad ones turn into a funny anecdote in the future.
Below is a list of 5 things you should spend less money on and 5 things you should spend more money. Use these tips to save money so that you can spend it on experiences that will enrich the lives of you and those around you.

5 Things you shouldn’t spend too much money on:

1. Electronics

Electronics in this day and age are almost a necessity, but that doesn’t mean that you need to spend money to get the newest thing. The shiny new feeling of your devices are very short lived and it is almost guaranteed that there will be a newer and better model of the whatever device you own within the next year.

2. Home Decor Fads

There will always be a new popular theme to decorate your home with. You don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars to get the signature look you see in the magazine; there are always do it yourself ways to achieve the same look. You can make it an experience and a time to bond with friends and family.

3. Cars

Keeping up with the newest car models is not a smart lifestyle unless you can pay each of them off by the time the next model comes out. This is a way to get you into a never ending hole of debt. You will never have the title in your hands if you keep trading your car (half paid off) for this current year’s model (which probably cost more).

4. Newest Fashion

You don’t have to feel guilty about giving into buying new clothes, bags and shoes once in a while. But when it gets to the point where you are trying to get each new bag or pair of shoes for about $300 plus dollars, maybe you should skip out on one of these and save the money for something else. There is always going to be a new fad and there is no point on spending all your hard earned money and losing precious closet space on it.

5. Jewelry

Fancy jewelry is nice to have for formal occasions, at the office and when dancing on your night out. If you can afford to buy a two thousand dollar watch, good job. For the rest of us, there is a fine line between accessorizing and going into debt for shiny things.

5 Things you should spend more money on:

1.Education

There isn’t another feeling in the world that can compare to the feeling of starting to understand another language without thinking about it. Though some language classes are very pricey, they are worth it. Taking classes on different cultures, religion and different professions will open your mind to a whole different world.
It does not mean you need to convert your religion or change your job. It will simply mean that you have walked into a classroom with an open mind and have added the things you have been taught to your vault of knowledge. You may never know when it can come in handy.

2.Traveling

Traveling can be pricey at times, but it creates memories that last a life time- even the bad experiences. Typically we all laugh about the bad experiences later on in life. One trip to Europe can cost someone the same as good laptop and the long trips can cost less than a car you don’t really need but want.
Trade all those materialistic things in for a night under the Northern Lights, a kiss on the Eiffel Tower, or a long journey backpacking through the Alps.

3.Music

Learning to play an instrument is a great start to a new tradition in your family. You can pass this down to your children and make new memories. That is, of course, after you have told them about the ones you have when you learned to play.
You can also venture out and spend about a dollar or two to take a chance on a new genre. Who knows, you could end up with a couple (or a couple hundred) songs added to your music library.

4.Books

Book are always going to be something different with each reader that turns its’ pages. It is a completely different experience using your imagination to put the author’s words into images in your head. Books won’t ever require you to turn them on, charge them or restart them. They are things you can pass down from generation to generation.
It is a much different experience to sit somewhere, with a book in hand, with absolutely no distractions. Books are portals to explore completely different worlds with a turn of a page.

5.Food

Trying new food goes hand in hand with traveling the world. Instead of spending a few hundred on a bag, save it for some great food when out and about. Take some cooking classes on food from different cultures. In Italy, they offer cooking classes at a vineyard. You can learn from an Italian chef how to create a great meal. It is something you can take back home with you and teach friends and family.
There are several chocolatiers in Belgium that are worth spending the extra dime to appreciate a perfectly crafted truffle.
Remember…put your money into things that will create memories over the instant materialistic things. You don’t have to spend all of it on creating memories but if you do, it won’t be something you regret.

11 Things Every Parent Can Do To Make Their Kids Much Happier

 

Are you a caring parent who is willing to go the extra mile for the welfare of your child? Have you ever wondered whether your busy lifestyle is affecting their normal upbringing? Pause for a moment and think how children feel and what kind of mental state they are suffering from. Children are very innocent at heart and so if they want to play or want to know something related to their education you shouldn’t ignore them or show your displeasure even though you may be tired, because such behavior hurts them. As a parent you must know how important it is for you to get involved in your children’s education as it increases their chances of success considerably.

As per a survey done by researchers from the Institute for Social and Economic Research, the affect of being a full-time working mother or dad on a kid’s education is the same as growing up in a single-parent family. Research shows that a child’s potential to do well at exams come down by 20% in cases where the mother returns to work. Such children (age 5-10) whose mothers are busy with their work do worse at school and suffer from mental stress compared to those youngsters whose mothers stay at home to bring them up and help them in their studies.

The study showed that during the 1970s and early 1980s, average mothers worked full-time for 18 months before the child was five. Almost two third of their kids i.e. approximately 64% of them achieved at least one A-level or equal qualification. It was seen that for mothers who worked for 30 months and over before their kid was five, only 52% of the children achieved one A-level pass.

However, compared to the earlier periods the working parents of today are more affected by feelings of guilt. A new study says that around 42% of parents that participated in the study were unhappy that they couldn’t fulfill their role as ideal parents during the week days. The research also shows that it is the quality of your involvement and not the quantity that counts. For example you may spend hours with your child but it will serve no useful purpose if you remain aloof to its desires and needs for emotional connect. So don’t be with the child just for the heck of it while you play away at your mobile phone or whatsoever. Make your child the center of your focus.
Research says that children of parents who are more involved in their kid’s education and other extracurricular activities tend to be more intelligent and active. So, it’s very essential to support and guide your children whether it’s for education, games or teaching them good and bad habits. No matter how busy you are with your daily work schedule, there are plenty of things that you can do for your children during your free time.
Here are some ideas for busy parents to get their children a little more outdoor time without causing your head and busy schedule to burst out!

Put on a happy face

 

By the time you reach home after a tiring day at the office, your entire body may be hurting but still when your kids come running to you and share all his/her activities that he/she did in school, you should put on a smile and meet their expectations so that they feel you are their best friend. But, if you put them away and ask them to come later then their joy in having you around might disappear.

Don’t brush off your child’s concerns

Make your children understand that you are always available to talk with them and share whatever is disturbing them. If you brush aside the feeling of your kid or try to ignore it, the child will keep his feelings inside and never express it to you. So, be a good listener as it can be very helpful in dealing with children.

Plan family time

Though, you might be having a busy life during the week days, try to take out some time from your busy schedule and plan unique activities to enjoy with your kids like games, bike ride, or do some creative activities. You may also take your child to shopping malls or water parks, where they can spend time with you.

Hold family meetings weekly

Kids feel very special if they are taken seriously and their ideas are praised. Your children may help you to make morning and bedtime routines and come up with creative ways to manage chores. It’s very exciting to see how children are more willing to follow the plans and rules created by them. Such meetings can also help children learn how to solve problems and be cooperative. They get the chance to put forward their problems in family meetings so that the parent can solve it and make them understand in a proper way.

Lead family discussions with children

Dinnertime is the perfect time for your family to have discussions about the latest news, topics, and new stories. Parents may also discuss about science education so that children can gain some knowledge and interact more with parents. In this way, busy parents can guide their children and be their idol.

Instead of sidelining your children, ask them whether they can help you
Kids are very innocent creatures who always hanker after their parents’ love and attention. So, it makes them feel special when parents ask for their help instead of lecturing and scolding them. Ask for their help in a polite manner instead of asking for it rudely or harshly, as they feel they are being scolded and brought down. Like, if you find your child’s room dirty or things are kept here and there then ask him/her to help you in making it clean instead of scolding him or her for making it dirty.

Get new clothes for your kid and make them glad

Are you too busy with your office work and responsibilities? Does your child ask to go out for shopping? No worry, you no more have to say your child ‘NO’ as if you can’t go shopping with them, search online and get the colorful clothes for them. Why to roam here and there around the streets when you can easily get a huge variety from the comfort of your home? All you need to do is to steal some time from your busy schedule and do online shopping for kid’s clothing. There are plenty of online shopping store for children where you may get huge collection in vibrant designs and colors. In this way you can shop the perfect clothes for your child by saving your time and money as well. So, buy trendy clothes for your kids online and make them realize how special they are for you.

Outings on weekends

Weekends are generally busy as you have lots of things to do at home but you can finish it off quickly and plan an outdoor adventure for the joy of your child as it could add fun and rejuvenate you and your child’s mind. You can also take the family to nearby Local Park for a picnic and meals together. After all, it’s always good to have family get together to talk and relish various outdoor activities.

Be a good companion for your kid

No matter how busy you are, the most important thing is to build a strong relationship with your kid. Though, you can’t spare sufficient time for them, but whenever you are free like at night, during breakfast time, etc., show your interest and talk to your child as if you are his/her good friend. Never show them anger if they talk any wrong things, and try to teach them about moral values or ‘what is wrong’ and ‘what is right’, so that they can know the difference between right and wrong. In this way, they will never try to hide anything and as a good companion they will share each and every thing with you. After all, a fruitful relationship between parents and children is very necessary to make a healthy family life.

Green time co-ops

If you know some impossibly-busy parents who may like to unite with you for making sure that your kids play or engage in outdoor activities, you may form a green time co-op in which each parent can take turns to take an hour off from their work in a week to look after the child while they play.

Make them learn from you

Parents do feel guilty when they cannot give time to their children due to their busy schedule. But looking at it the other way, it can be helpful for parents like you as you can set an example for your children with your hard work. As children see their parents working hard at a job and handling plenty of responsibility, they can also learn about the responsibility and work for an aim. Discussing the same with your child may improve their learning ability.
So, it is advisable for every busy parent to try the above suggestions for their child’s unhindered growth and also to become their idol.

10 Great Weight Loss Foods That Are Really Easy To Prep

A good enough diet that’s realistically easy enough to stick to is 100% better than a theoretically perfect diet that’s unrealistic and won’t be stuck to.
Part of being realistic means being honest about which dietary logistics bother you the most. For me? One of those is cooking. I hate cooking. I hate cleaning up after cooking even more. If I had to slave away in the kitchen for hours a day to make my diet work I’d surely give up in a matter of weeks.

A lot of people think they have to become a sous chef if they want to eat healthy. But this isn’t true — healthy eating and easy eating are not mutually exclusive. In fact, on the tail end of my weight loss journey, I never ate anything that took more than 5 minutes to prep in the kitchen.
I’m going to share with you my top 10 weight loss foods that are also really easy to prep.

1. Eggs and Egg Whites

Eggs are arguably the best source of nutritious protein you can find, and prep wise they’re about as easy as it gets. I like to add liquid egg whites to the mix to up the protein ratio. Just throw a little butter in a skillet and fry them up, or scramble them, it doesn’t matter. You can chop up some produce like tomatoes or avocado and dump it in the mix to add some flavor.

2. Smoothies

Smoothies are a godsend for people looking to get more plant based nutrition. But lets get real: prepping, cooking, and chewing through boring vegetables is a hassle. Instead, you can get a high powered blender (Vitamix and Blendtec are the best on the market) and concoct an infinitely wide array of nutritious smoothies. My personal favorite? A homemade blended v8.

• 1 medium tomato
• 1 medium carrot
• ½ beet (peeling optional)
• 1 cup/handful parsley
• 1 thumb sized hunk of ginger
• ¼ lemon, peeled
• 1 medium stalk of celery and/or 1 cup/handful of spinach

You get nearly a pound of vegetables in you that will keep you full for hours, and it’s only ~150 calories.

3. Canned Salmon

If you’re not a cooker, getting enough protein is always a challenge. One of the best ways to meet your protein requirements is with canned fish – No kitchen prep required. Add some lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a tbsp of olive oil to give it some texture and flavor. Or try throwing in some hummus and chopped celery or peppers.

4. Asparagus

Asparagus is a choice green vegetable for fitness models because it’s nutritious as well as slightly diuretic to help your kidneys flush out the system. It’s also stupidly easy to prep. Just brush a bunch in olive oil and throw it in a toaster oven for ~10 minutes or fry it on a skillet.

5. Cruciferous Medley

Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli are the stereotypical king of weight loss foods for a good reason: They are highly nutritious, highly filling, and very low in sugar and overall calories. You can make a decent tasting medley very easily. Just throw a bunch of broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts into a bowl and mix with salt, pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, and onion powder, then bake it in the oven on a tray for ~15 minutes. Super easy.

6. Greek Yogurt

It’s become one of the most popular go to snacks because it’s low calorie, high protein, and very filling. Casein based dairy protein takes a long time to digest and keeps people full for hours.

7. Cottage Cheese

If you need to up your protein intake, then cottage cheese is even more superior to greek yogurt, and has the same filling effects. Add some chopped strawberries or blueberries to give it some flavor if you wish.

8. Crockpot Chicken Breast

Chicken is the proverbial staple of bodybuilders — it’s cheap, filling, high protein, and low calorie. The problem? A plain, flavorless, rubbery broiled chicken breast might be the most depressing thing to eat on this planet.
However, making decent tasting and tender chicken breast is very easy with a crock pot. You literally just stack in 4 or so breasts, season with some salt and pepper, and put it on high for 2.5-3 hours. You don’t need to marinate or anything like that, because the chicken will simmer in it’s own juice and come out very tender.
With less than 5 minutes of work, you can have a few days worth of chicken breast ready to go at all times.

9. Coffee or Tea

Most fat loss supplements are garbage marketing gimmicks, but one exception is America’s drug of choice: caffeine. Caffeine has been scientifically shown to curb hunger.
What I do is drink caffeine in small even doses throughout the morning and early afternoon. I mix ~4oz of coffee with hot water and have 3 or 4 of those drinks between ~8am and 2pm. If I stop by then I’ll have no problem falling asleep on time.
If you’re caffeine sensitive, try green tea or mint tea instead. Or, one of my favorites, ginger tea. Any of those will help curb hunger and help you with your daily water requirement to, which leads me to…

10. Water

I had to include this because it always needs to be reiterated: Drinking enough water on a diet (and in general) is absolutely crucial. The thirst and hunger mechanisms are often confused with one another. Many people who feel hungry are actually thirsty, which makes sense because most animals get a significant portion of their water requirement from the food they eat.
Depending on your climate, a good starting point is to try and drink at least half your body weight in ounces per day. Also be sure you’re getting enough electrolytes with salts or alkaline based plant foods.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, the weight loss battle stems on burning more calories than you consume over time, one way or another. Thus, the best strategy for most people is to focus on eating highly filling low calorie foods like the ten suggestions above.
But… It’s also important to be honest with yourself about what you’re actually willing to do. For me, slaving away in the kitchen daily is not one of them. That’s why I focus on viable food choices that require little to no kitchen prep.
