RELATIONSHIP ADVICE

BEFORE YOU DATE HIM, CHECK THIS OUT

Is he protective? A father is able to protect you in any way, he must be able to ensure that you are not being harmed by those around you, families differ in a lot of ways, there are those families who are happy when their children marry and there are those who want their kids not to marry.

When you are happy with your fiance, take some time to imagine how his mother is because there are crazy mothers-in-law who judge your lifestyle and they tend to believe that you are misusing her sons' money. Such like women are jealous and I believe they won't care about their generation kept.

When you are married to this kind of family, then Girl get ready for war, I believe that a strong family is mothers' hard work and commitment. Your partner should be able to defend you in any way or another, he should not be that type of man who lies to his mothers' side.

Protection comes in when he corrects anyone who comes in your way wrongly in a strong and commanding way and does not quarrel to you because you mean a lot to him and he is protecting you in all ways.

Is he a provider? in marriage, provision is not all about money, ask yourself, is he able to provide wisdom? is he able to provide friendship? is he able to provide counsel? does he have a giving spirit? he has to be adding some value into your life, your life should be richer and fuller because he satisfies you with what nature needs.

When a man is able to provide wisdom, then his family will never lack food because his family is his first prior in everything, he involves you in his plans that will keep you as a family going, he is always your friend and treats everyone like his friend because he knows that there is power in friendship.

He should be able to seek advice from the experts because he knows that those with experience are best teachers, he should also be a good counselor, he should be a problem solver because he is the head of a family.

Is he a promoter? somebody who promotes somebody is the best, it is not all about making his family look good but he is able to use what God has gifted him to make his family look good. he should put his family as his first prior and should be proud of his family always.

ve a solution for you.

Every girl whether married or not requires to be smart and presentable at all time, dressing classically is not all about how much money you have but its all about how you wear the clothes you have, you might find a woman with a lot of money buying expensive clothes of which when she tries to wear they look like second-hand clothes.


What I am trying to say is that, how you dress actually matters a lot, you might find a lady who knows how to design differently her clothes till they look like designer clothes, here is an example of how you can spice your pants in a unique way.


When buying your trousers, consider buying the high waist trousers because you can wear it in many different ways; the first way is ensuring that they fit your legs nicely it should not be too tight and not too baggy for you, and folding a little bit gives it a completely nice look.

Another way is tacking in your top, this way gives you a totally classic look,you can choose a fitting top that matches the pants nicely, wearing white sneakers gives you a bright look, what I can tell you about sneakers is that brightly colored and clean sneakers are the best for a good look you should avoid wearing dirty and faded sneakers which looks too old.

The type of shoes you wear actually determines how you look,, nice shoe and good hairstyle gives you a classic look it also gives you a lot of confidence when you are with people because what I believe is that lack of confidence is brought about not trusting yourself especially your looks in front of people.

Another way of wearing your pants is adding in a blazer and heel shoes, this way gives you an office look, adding a quality handbag gives you the best and expensive look, I can tell you your pants will look expensive even though they were cheap.

Another thing that all ladies and women should know is how you do your makeup, do not overdo your makeup this way gives you a crazy look, slightly done makeup is best if you want to look expensive, when you see a lot of celebrities, their makeup is nicely done this gives them a completely different look that is of a certain class.

BACK TO SCHOOL AGAIN
AFTER LONG HOLIDAY.

Here comes my weakness...waking up too early, not just early but as early as 4pm to prepare myself for my early classes at 7pm..and all that morning travel for about two hours or more to travel all the way from Nairobi county to Machakos county.

Today I just woke up after setting my alarm clock at 4pm i felt like this is the most painful punishment,,leaving behind my family still sleeping and there i was getting ready to leave the house at around 6am though I new I will be late to make for morning class at 7am.

Have you ever waken up so early in the morning till those who remained sleeping are telling you to stop disturbing them in their sleep? This is exactly what I am being told by my husband when I wake up..he is like.."please just get out of bed slowly without moving the blankets away from me..and if possible tiptoe..and open the door ensuring that there is minimum noise possible."

This is sometimes difficult for me because am in a hurry and I should try doing all am suppose to do in a hurry and I tend to forget about the noise and I end up awakening even my son, which is a bit tricky for me because he wants to be with me and I got no time for that but lucky enough I take him to my house girl to be with him.
         

Being a full time student and a parent requires alot of effort and hardwork and also commitment but the moment you accept that you have to be responsible in everything then everything becomes easy because I choose to be a mother and a student so I should not give anyone my burdens but rather to carry all by my own.

What I love is the feeling I have about being called "mama Trevor" I feel like am holding a position in the village and the respect I deserve being a mother, atlist I know I can have my next generation out of me.

BENEFITS OF CINNAMON TEA

BENEFITS OF CINNAMON TEA IN YOUR BODY

Whether or not you take your tea with cream and sugar, milk and honey or with nothing at all, cinnamon tea is a simple healthful beverage that many enjoy. Cinnamon tea has a sweet, spicy flavor as well as significant health benefits.

HOW TO PREPARE:
      1. Boil a 3-inch piece of cinnamon stick in one and a quarter cups of water for 15 to 25 minutes, and then you let it steep and rest for another 15 minutes.
OR;
      Mix half to one teaspoon of cinnamon powder with hot water and stir. One gram of cinnamon equals a quarter to half teaspoon of cinnamon powder or half cinnamon stick.

CINNAMON AND CHOLESTEROL
One research study published in September 2013 issue of "Annals of Family Medicine" concluded that consuming cinnamon in a dose from 120 milligrams to 6 grams per day was associated with reduced levels of cholesterol, LCD cholesterol, and triglycerides, along with higher levels of the good cholesterol, HDL.

This study reviewed previously published, randomized controlled trials that studied cinnamon's effect on glycemia and lipid levels.
ANTIOXIDANTS CONTENTThe American Cancer Society notes that naturally occurring antioxidants in foods may provide some health benefits, including preventing certain cancers. Compared to some other antioxidant-rich herbs and spices, cinnamon has the third-highest antioxidant content, with only cloves and allspice containing more.

A study conducted to evaluate the antioxidant activity of cinnamon extracts published in 2010in 'Nutrition Journal'determined that cinnamon prevented oxidation more effectively than the synthetic antioxidant, BHT. This suggests that you can use cinnamon as a natural antioxidant to prevent unwanted oxidation of lipids in foods.

TYPE 2 DIABETESThe Diabetes Action Reseach and Education Foundation reviewed multiple studies that were studied to determine the effects of cinnamon on blood-sugar control in diabetics. Clinical trial findings suggest the possibility of small changes in insulin sensitivity.

One study published in the December 2003 issue of 'Diabetes Care'studied 60 people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers divided participants into six groups. Researchers gave groups one, two and three 1, 3, or 6 grams of cinnamon daily.

Researchers gave placebos to groups four, five and six. After 40 days, the three cinnamon groups had reduced blood-sugar levels by 18 to 29 percent. Researchers did not see any significant changes in groups that took a placebo.  

HOW TO CREATE WEALTH THROUGH POULTRY FARMING.

NEVER TOO LATE TO CREATE WEALTH
investing in poultry farming.

Poultry farming offers huge profits,when you rear chicken you have a steady and sustainable income,you are either selling chicken or eggs on daily basis.You will also not miss a meal because you did not transact.
Kenya's appetite for chicken is now at an all time high. The population and economy are growing really fast and millions of kenyans have been lifted into the middle class income bracket.In other words, the market is growing fast. You will invest at any age in this business.

HOW TO GET GOING

HATCHERIES
With little capital you could start with for example, a hatchery and begin hatching and selling those chicks which are in high demand and sell to both small scale and large producers who have build the infrastructure for keeping chicks.Hatching the chicks means that you are involvedin the first phase of poultry farming in Kenya and the demandfor your services will be quite high.

The second option through which you can join the industry is by buying the desired poultry farming in Kenya Delivers Quick Returns. Poultry business is one of the very few businesses where you realize the returns almost instantly. Whithin only a few months , you will already be selling your poultry products to the market place.

You can begin with capital as little as Kshs.20,000 and within five months you will have doubled on that to Kshs.40,000 or more.By constantly introducing new chicks every month,you can have an ongoing poultry production business that will keep your cash flow throughout the year.T he situation is even better if you invest  in poultry incubator incase you can have chicks hatching every week and keep your cash flow rolling on a weekly basis.There is no other business in Kenya that provides such a quick turn around like the poultry farming business in Kenya.

If you are planning to produce the day old chicks, then you must first invest in incubators that you will use in order to start your hatchery.Selling your day old chicks at  Kshs.100 eachwill be one of the fastest ways of generating income.
Through placement of eggs inside the incubators that have been innovatively built to support  multiple hatching cycles, it will be possible for you to hatch the chicks on a weekly basis.

With a very good hatch rate which you can get through expertise and good incubators, you will also have good margins for your hatching business.With hatcheries you will not foot the cost of feeding the chicks as you can generate orders before the chicks hatch so that you can easily deliver them to the market upon hatching.When the chicks are one day old, they will be off your hands and there is very little cost that you will foot afterwards apart from the cost of vaccination.This is one of the reasons why the well run hatcheries are generally very profitable.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO IN YOUR 20S?

INVESTING IN YOUR 20S.

Your 20s are a crucial stage when you probably have more control over your cash flow than you will later.Your 20s are also a time when you can afford to invest aggresively and take on a little more risk in order to earn better returns.

Your 20s are a crucial stage when you probably have more control over your cash flow than you will later when you have kids and college plans kicking.there are some of the ways you can use these golden decade years to set yourself up for decadesto come.

STEP 1:Leverage the years.

You have it before but when you are 20s, time is truly your friend.The power of compounding can help your cash grow in a way that it never will again because right now you have got decades on your side, and responsibilities are not as many as when you have already started a family therefore creating room for alot of investments forfuture use.

STEP 2:Save time.

You have got alot going on, but if you do not feel like an expert in the stock market,do not use it as an excuse to postpone investing.
The key really is simply to open an investing or retirement account and regularly transfer money in to it,preferably automatically from your paycheck so that you cannot forget.You can do this at the end of every month,and ensuring that you do not forget or get the money planned for other activities, saving at the end of every month is actually the best not only for investing but also security for any emergency.

STEP 3:Save more.

It might seem like a sacrifice to save 20% of your income right now,but think about it this way:By saving as much as you can while there are a fewer demands on your income compared to your 40s or 50s when you have kids in college, say you put yourself ahead.


Then, if you lose your job at some point or raising kids and running house means you temporarily have to save a little less you are not giving up as much ground.This are only some exceptions that  can make you to save less but you just have to sacrifice for you to safely guard the future.

STEP 4:Be aggresive.

Very few kenyans have their money in a money market or stable value fund.There is not much chance that those accounts will keep up with inflation, which makes them just slightly more useful than stashing the money in a freezer.


While putting your money into equities does entail ,more risk,it also provides you with more growth at a time of life when you need the growth nad can probably handle the risk.By being more conservative you risk losing out on market gains and jeopardizing your savings.

There are a plenty of examples of young people who are saving for retirement and they put it all in cash.that is not going to move the needle in your retirement account

 

MY NEW MORNING ROUTINE AS A MOM.

BEST MORNING ROUTINE WHICH TRANSFORMED ME:

I had been completely transported into some other life with daily maid service,I could just wakeup at my own time to find everything perfectly done by my housegirl,and on this fateful day,i had this completely crazy moment,iwoke up at around 8am my house help was not around i sat down drinking my coffee and feeding my kid,everything turn into a total mess,a lot of dirty dishes were the my sink,the house need to be cleaned,our room need to be arranged,the bed is  also in a total mess,this was the time i really had to plan myself well and come up with a good routine to ease my work and find time to play with my kid.

It all started with what i do immediately i wake up;

1. morning pages:What i do immediately i wake is to take my pen and a note book and write anything that comes into my mind,this is so weird like but it has transformed me truly,i dont really have to think about it but i have to fill the three pages of my note book with what is really in my mind,this exercise helps me to rid myself of random thoughts, worries, questions and anything else that i might have in my mind.After getting done with writting i wisper a word of prayer to thank God for many things he has done and to guide me throughout the day. 
   
   Yoga:When i wake up in the morning i find that my muscles are stiff and tight,i might struggle to touch my knees but my toes i cant,so some yoga help me get a beautiful whole body strech and i find that i get flexible while i do my daily  house chores.
   
   Meditation:If you haven't meditate before,the sit in silence and think of nothing style can be difficult,meditation is enjoyable when you are starting,this involves sitting comfortably in a quiet space,closing your eyes and concentratring on emmiting gratitude out toward the world.this helps me to get free of stress and work on my duties well.I meditate because i am always anxious and feel resistance before i write,and meditation clears my head and lets me focus.
   
   MusicMy love for music has helped me create a playlist that makes me feel great in the morning whether it is relaxing,upbeat or mental stimulating,what i listen comes down to my personal taste,this reflects how i want to feel the whole day.
   
   Herbal tea:Herbal tea has alot of advantages to our heealth,but my love for herbal tea helps me greatly in relaxing and slows down my mental processes,or take some coffee and a drop of honey.
   
   Online:The reason for me to get online in the morning is to look for a little inspiration,this might be uplifting my blogs or video,or a hashtag and instagram account,i avoid emails,facebook,news and anything that might distract or alter my frame of mind.
   
   Daily planning:
   Breakfast is a great time to plan my day,i take sometime to jot down my daily task,any phone call or appointments i might have and any simple Dos i need to check off,i highlight the most important things i need to get done before the end of the day.
   
   WHAT MORNING ROUTINE GIVES:Morning routine helps you live a productive life, it helps you know your dreams are on the other side if establishing that routine.
   The most important component of creating a successful morning routine is actually having a real reason to get up in the first place.
   
   Waking up early is not under the impression that it causes success,this is wrong,success comes by figuring out what your values are and alighning the things you do around those values.
   
   Without a purpose for waking up early,you wont wake up,if you wake up because it allows you time to learn,explore your interests and figure out what you want,thats great,but define your morning routines as suiting that purpose.
   
   Do not just say that you want to wake up early because it will make you successful,thinking that way wont make any difference in your life instead,find real reasons for why you need to wake up early and you will follow though with the routine.
   
   WHY I WAKE UP EARLY EVERY DAY:When i was single,i had alot of free time,i actually wrote in the afternoon.i would wake up read for a few hours and hang out around the house,the routine of waking up at around 8am worked well for me.
   when my life changed,my plans also changed.i have  family and also in school now,i created morning routine because i was already on a mission and i needed to adjust my life accordingly.
   
   My routine consist of things that are aligned with my values, my future and my definition of success.i wake early to write and study because it takes alot of creative energy to accomplish what i need to accomplish and by the time i come home from school,i am too exhausted to even think about writing.
   I drink water and coffee to give myself the kick i need and hydrate at the same time.
