3 things you should not share with friends or family members

-
Image
Sometimes we want to be free with people and share our things with them. Sharing is not a bad thing to do but there are some personal things we should never share with our friends or with family members. When we do this, it's not because we are greedy or we don't want to share. According to Healthline, some things can't just be shared for medical reasons. If we do, there's the possibility of developing diseases and because of this, it's better we don't share them at all. Lipstick or lip gloss: This is common for ladies, whenever a lady forgets her make up kits at home, she would try to borrow them from her friend. If everything would be borrowed, lipstick or lip gloss shouldn't be among them. Diseases like herpes can easily be developed while sharing our lipstick or lip gloss. Headphones: Sharing headphones can be dangerous to our ears. This is because each person has a unique balance of bacterial flora in their ear wax. When we share headphones, we run the ...

7 Times Nigerian Female Musicians Broke A Record

Image
impact of women on the music scene by taking a look at some moments when Nigerian female musicians broke a record;  Like stars out on a stormy night, Nigerian female musicians that have made it to mainstream relevance, are few and far between; an even sparser representation of the limited female talents in the Nigerian male-dominated scene. Yet these stars prevail; shining in unique ways that have cast light unto the music scene in general and also helped illuminate a path for other female musicians to follow. In 1977, the United Nations adopted the International Women’s Day celebration popularising it past its niche recognition and ever since, every 8th of March has come to be recognised as a day set out for highlighting challenges faced by women the world over and also to celebrate their growth and achievements in the face of all odds. As a result, in this list, we highlight the impact of female Nigerian musicians on the music scene by taking a look at some achievements from nota...

Hang Nails

What is a hangnail? Even though it’s called a hangnail, that little piece of skin isn’t part of the nail. Instead, it’s a torn piece of skin that hangs loose next to your nails. And it’s rare to have hangnails on your toes, though, it does happen from time to time. “A hangnail is really short,” says Dr. Vyas. “It’s kind of stiff and it arises from the side of your nail bed.” Hangnails can be caused by dry air, using alcohol-based  hand sanitizers  (which we still need to use!) and constant hand washing (which we also still need to do!). Those with a habit of picking or biting around their nails are likely to get hangnails. Swimming in a chlorinated pool can also cause your skin to dry out and lead to hangnails. If you enjoy a manicure every now and then, make sure you’re not cutting your cuticles but pushing them back instead. Cutting your cuticles can lead to hangnails and infections. How to remove a hangnail Follow these steps to safely remove a hangnail. ...
