It is essential we bathe everyday, it makes us healthy as well as feel fresh and confident. However, many tend to not wash certain parts of their bodies when bathing. This is either because they overlook washing those parts or often forget washing them.

Here are 8 body parts many often do not wash when bathing:

1. Under Foot

The majority of people fall in this category because they fail to wash the under part of their feet. When bathing, quite a large number of us fail to remember that washing the under part of their foot is very important for healthy skin.

When we fail to wash the under part of our feet, it begins to change leading to what we call a dead skin. Also, it may also lead to cracks and the under part of our feet will become rough. Meanwhile, if you are guilty of this, you can go ahead and scrub your feet with a pumice stone. When you scrub your feet with a pumice stone, it will make them clean and soft once more.

2. Behind the Ears

Our ears are very important and sensitive to our body because it enables us to hear things and what people are saying. The secretion at the back of the ear can begin to sink if it is not washed over time. Basically, a majority of people even fail to clean the ear not to talk more of the back of the ear.

Since we walk around where dust can be found, it is then important we begin to wash the back of our ear daily in order to prevent infection which may be building up.

3. Bellybutton

Yes, a lot of people fall victim to this again. It is one of the sensitive areas of the body which is left ignored by the human mind. If you fail to wash your bellybutton daily, it begins to get dirty and can be infectious to our health. The bellybutton may be a small area in our body, but it is also important that it is washed.

4. Finger Nails

Failing to wash our fingernails is the basic reason why a lot of people fall sick because that same finger is used to eat some foods. What we fail to realize is that the fingernails accumulate dirt which can be very unhealthy when we touch food or touch others. The dirt is often ridden with bacteria which can make people fall sick. That is why it is important that we begin to wash our fingernails.

5. The Back

Some people who cannot reach for their back while bathing often fail to wash it. They only prefer to pour water on their backs while forgetting that it needs scrubbing in order to stay clean. The dirt from your back when you fail to wash it is capable of staining your cloth most especially if you are wearing a white shirt.

6. In between Toes

For an individual who wears socks, shoes or even slippers, it is very important that you pay attention to washing in between your toes. After a long day’s work, dirt accumulates in between our toes and failure to wash that part of your body area could lead to your skin toe peeling or blackness of that area.

7. Nostrils

People may see this point as actually disgusting, but it is very efficient when properly done. When we walkabout, we inhale dust which is bad for our health, this dust then begins to accumulate inside our nose causing some form of sickness like catarrh.

Washing our nostrils while bathing is very important for good hygiene.

8. Palms

Since we make use of our sponge on our palms, we often fail to see the need to wash our palms again. However, it is very important that we wash our palms because they are one of the dwelling places for germs which can be harmful to our health.

I am sure a very high number of people fail to wash some of the body parts stated in this article. The human mind does not remember them when we bath. However, it’s great to keep them in mind during each bath to keep ourselves clean and free from germs and bacteria.

Technology is widely influencing changes in the society and one of such changes is in how we relate socially with each other. With the coming of the social media; how people socialize have greatly taken a new turn.

There are now incidents of online dating; where you find two individuals dating without meeting each other in person.

Well, here are things you should be aware of before you begin dating online:

1. It could be a glorious success…

As already stated above, love lives in the Nigerian atmosphere and with good Internet connection and a nice chunk of luck, you can tap into it.

If you’ve found someone online whose persona has caught you in a web of attraction, don’t be afraid to say something, it could be the beginning of great things for you.

2. Or maybe an epic failure

Just as you could create a fairytale romance, you could also experience failure. Sometimes, the guy or girl might be taken, or they could have no interest in social media/Internet relationships.

It’s a game of half chances… you win some, you lose some.

3. You might not like them in person

Sadly, some people are not as fun in person as they are on social media.

Thanks to filters and other picture-editing tools, some other people have a different look on their social media pages and another one in real life.

This is referred to as being ‘catfished.’ Catfishing is the act of luring someone into a relationship by adopting a fictional online persona.

You gotta watch out for those ones, too.

4. You could get curved

When you get curved on social media [mostly on twitter and Instagram, it means that someone intentionally rejected you with an intention to ridicule you or make a mess of you.

This is common with ladies [of course] and they often say no to you in the rudest, insulting and shadiest manners possible. That’s actually what makes it a curve.

5. Your privacy is at stake

This often comes directly as a result of being curved. When some babes curve guys [or when it happens the other way round] they sometimes take screenshots of the curve and put it on their timeline for all to see.

There are many fine men out there, but not all have the qualities of a good husband. If you are a girl that wants a relationship that will lead to marriage, you will agree that it is wise to look out for signs of a good husband.

So, here are the kind of guys you should never date if you are considering marriage:

1. The Shady one

Everything about him is suspicious. And since trust is required, it’s never start anything with this guy. Just walk away.

2. The one who compares you to his exes

Usually when people move on, they really move on. This guy isn’t over his ex-girlfriend and will keep making you feel inadequate because there’s a large part of him that still wants her. If you know deep inside you that he would always choose her over you, it’s better to take a long walk.

3. The one who buys you unnecessary gifts

It doesn’t mean if your boyfriend gets stuffs for you then he’s shady. In this instance, his gifts are always a cover up for something, either he’s asking for forgiveness after messing around or the gifts are a replacement for being with you. It’s easy to get carried away but don’t be fooled.

4. The serial monogamist

This guy jumps from one relationship to another like he’s changing clothes. Commitment is only temporary for him and it looks like he’ll never end up you because he doesn’t know it’s like to be in a long-term relationship.

5. The alcoholic

He’s not a ‘social drinker’ though he swears to be one but doesn’t know when to stop the bottles from becoming numerous. He becomes aggressive and nasty when he’s had too much to drink and will turn on you. This kind of guy should be avoided like a plague.

No genuine relationship is without misunderstandings, there are going to be periods of arguments and disagreements. These things tend to have a way of occurring and couples who genuinely care for each other see them as mere obstacles to be surmounted.

However, during arguments and fights, it is very important you avoid saying words you can’t take back. Words aimed at making your partner feel guilty, inadequate and inferior should be avoided.

So, mind your words so as to avoid saying the following words:

1. Don’t Say “You always” or “You never”

When we get upset, we tend to speak to our spouses as though the thing that has upset us is a constant irritation the person does incessantly. This simply isn’t true.

Saying “You never take out the trash,” or “You always take their side” is simply an inflammatory statement that adds more fuel to the argument instead of working toward a resolution. We often have much more time together where we enjoy each other’s company.

No one is always doing any one thing. Step back and say what is bothering you in the moment, specifically, to work through this particular situation. Emphasize your frustration by telling the person exactly what they have done and how it hurt you—rather than by exaggerating the action itself.

2. Don’t Call Anyone Out of Their Names

Calling someone anything other than their name in an argument is unacceptable. Frustration gets the best of all of us, but it is our job and responsibility to not call people we love a name unbecoming to them.

Obvious things like the b-word or something of that nature should never be uttered, but using words like slacker, loser, deadbeat or failure are just as hurtful. We have to remember at the end of the day, we want to work through our problems together and name-calling is counterproductive to conflict resolution.

You hurt your spouse, you tear down their self-esteem and you can make them feel worse than they deserve to feel from someone who says they love them and should be lifting them up. Name calling of any sort is not okay in an argument.

3. Don’t Patronize or Mock Your Mate

I’m sure you have heard someone say “don’t patronize me.” Move this up to the tenth power in an argument. The quickest way to get someone to tune you out is to patronize.

“Let me explain this in a way you can understand,”
“I used to think that way when I was young,”
or “That’s what I would expect a woman to say.”
These ways of categorizing what you think of what someone is trying to share with you instead of valuing the opinion of the person who is talking to you is an example of someone who doesn’t want to work together to resolve a situation.

When we patronize during an argument, we’re effectively communicating we don’t value what the other person is saying. Instead of patronizing, listen, internalize and effectively respond to what the other person says.

Patronizing your spouse or significant other speaks to both the lack of interest in the argument and how little you care about their opinion. There’s no place for patronizing in disagreements with people we love and respect.

Arguments can be healthy opportunities to grow. Take the time to respect the other person, even when you are frustrated, but still accept the responsibility to fight fair and respect each other during and after the argument is over. The mutual respect makes it easier to make up with your spouse—which is the best part!

We all want to love and be loved. And it is widely believed that when it comes to matters of the heart, women are more passionate.

Sometimes in your cravings for affection, you tend to make clumsy mistakes or serious ones that may negatively affect your love life.

So, it is very important you take note of the following because they are the biggest mistakes women make in relationships.

1. You Don’t Know Your Own Value

This might be one of the most common areas where I work with my female clients. Do you chase after the bad boys who treat you poorly and only want them more?

Are you attracted to all the unavailable guys? Are you afraid to ask for what you want? Do you put up with nonsense expecting that “one day” it will magically change? If so, welcome to the club — you are far from alone.

You, my dear, do not know your value.

The truth is that there are only two fears in the human condition: one is that you’re “not enough,” and two is that you won’t be loved.

Let’s be clear: this will keep you single until it changes. Ironically, the thing that will keep you stuck here for years or even decades is that no man can really respect a woman who will allow him to treat her so shabbily, so this truly is a self-inflicted wound. I’m sorry for being so blunt, but the truth will set you free — even if it makes you angry or defensive first.

If that’s the case, don’t bother getting mad at me. I cared enough to level with you so you can actually have all the love you truly deserve.

2. You Over-Rely On Your Masculine Energy

Many of my clients are highly successful women and well known in their communities. They’re doctors, lawyers, executives and entrepreneurs, but they can’t attract — or keep — a man.

Ironically, their success is oftentimes a result of the fact that deep inside, these women also have huge doubts about their self value. (Do you see a theme here?) In fact, it’s their over-compensation that often leads to their success.

The problem only gets dramatically worse if they’re divorced or are single parents because in order to be the sole provider or protector, too, their entire day is spent living in their masculine, achiever energy. While that may be effective in paying the bills, when you spend too much time there, it’s nearly impossible to transition out of that and re-embrace your feminine energy again. T

he fact is, if you can do it all by yourself, a man will look at you and see no role for himself; unless, of course, he’s looking for a sugar mama. I definitely don’t recommend that arrangement either.

If you think it doesn’t sound so bad, re-read item #1.

3. You Simply Don’t Get Or Understand Men

Women who understand how men work and appreciate them for their masculine gifts have a way of kissing frogs and turning them into princes.

Likewise, women who are jaded, frustrated or have been burned too many times can kiss a good man and turn him into a frog. The fact is, women are far more complex and men are fairly simple creatures who actually are pre-wired to want to serve you — if you know how to inspire them.

Bottom line, most of my clients’ success comes when I teach them specifically how to understand and appreciate men so they can bring out their best, rather than suffer through their worst. I can teach you how to make a man crazy about you and then condition his behavior to treat you like his queen.

Of course, that’s assuming you want to do what it takes to be his queen.

4. You Try To Change Him Or Don’t Accept Him As He Is

There’s nothing that turns off a man like meeting a woman he’s trying to impress and then having her immediately try to turn him into her latest “project” that she’s going to fix.

Maybe it’s criticizing the way he dresses, insulting his table manners, or ridiculing his appearance or grooming habits.

Women have a way of doing that because they tend to be caretakers by nature but frankly, it usually doesn’t end well for either party, and it just feels bad all the way around.

At best, un-requested suggestions are usually unwelcome. At worst, they’re insulting and emasculating.

People want to be seen, heard and appreciated for who they are; if you feel the need to change him with your complaints, ridicule, teasing or even un-requested “helpful hints,” let me ask you a question: How would you like it if he did that to you?

Enough said.

5. You Don’t Really Appreciate What Men Do For You

On the other extreme of women not knowing their value, are the self-centered women who seemingly believe they are “owed” something.

They are not grateful that a man opted to spend his time, talent and treasure with her. In fact, they have an attitude of entitlement. You may be surprised how many women stay in relationships with men — or even multiple men — for the gifts and prizes.

It’s also not unheard of for women to accept free dinners, order the most expensive things on the menu and then disappear or be busy when a man tries to ask them out again. If you think the term “gold digger” sounds bad, consider how it feels to be on the receiving end of that kind of behavior.

Ladies, you’re not the only one who can develop trust issues. If you’ve treated a man this way before, just know that some of your dating struggles might be dating karma coming back to you.

Taking advantage of others for your own gain is not only unattractive — it’s indefensible.

6. You Don’t Share Your Gifts

The gift of the masculine sex is his ability to protect and provide. In fact, he takes great pride in it and will oftentimes even willingly risk his health or life in order to do that effectively.

In fact, elderly men who seemingly “lose their purpose” or ability to provide as effectively after retirement may spiral into depression, suffer anxiety or even die prematurely when they no longer feel “needed.” Those two things are that hard-wired into masculine energy that they are a matter of life and death.

So what, you may ask, is the gift of the feminine sex?

The essence of femininity is the innate desire to nurture, caretake or look after your man. It’s about reciprocation and putting one another first. If you’re not doing that, you’re more interested in taking than giving, and healthy relationships aren’t about taking.

They’re about giving. You need to figure out what exactly you bring to the table for him and then understand his love language to see whether he even values what you’re offering.

7. You Create Drama Instead Of Memories

As I said earlier, men are relatively simple creatures who navigate the world via logic and reason — it just doesn’t make sense to be all worked up constantly.

They love to prove their value by solving problems and making things easy. They tend to be laid back and easy-going when they’re not working, and they also typically hate to waste effort if they can’t see a potential upside.

That’s why masculine energy quickly tires of the drama that arises when femininity gets caught up in emotion and upset. Just be aware that if you kind of like the attention you get when you stir things up, it just might turn into a very short-term gain, if you know what I mean.

8. You Either Didn’t Build Trust — Or You Broke It

If a man is going to consider a future with you, he has got to believe that you respect him and have his back while he has yours.

Inside every little boy is a desire to grow up and be a hero and a good man who feels connected to you will give his all to be your hero. In fact, he may even give his life to protect you.

His commitment is that deep. In return, he must be able to trust that you have his best interests in mind also. Men also tend to strongly resonate with the concept of honor which is the backbone of the military code.

Bottom line, a good man has high standards and you’ll have to as well if you’re going to keep him.

9. You Tried To Tie Him Down Too Soon

This may be one of the biggest mistakes women make over and over again. After one date, one kiss, or even one intimate encounter, women often seem to think they’re now magically in a “relationship.”

Actually, not so fast. First of all, that’s not the time to negotiate your terms, and masculine energy has a very different criteria for that designation.

The truth is men have an almost primitive drive and preference for the concept of freedom that practically lies in their DNA. Add to that it’s basic human nature that as soon as you grab someone quickly, they instinctively and reflexively pull away. While that may sound like men have no interest in monogamy, that’s not exactly true.

Masculine energy will absolutely commit and voluntarily give up their freedom, but only after they’re convinced that you offer something better.

The key is — timing is everything. Let a man pursue you and never try to take his freedom; it can only be surrendered.

10. You Didn’t Inspire Him Enough To See A Future With You

Here’s the truth: dating is a competitive environment.

Every one of us, men and women alike, wants to be with a partner that makes us feel like we definitely got the better part of the deal when it comes to our partner. In fact, it’s ideal when both partners have such a strong appreciation and gratitude for one another that they both feel blessed to have attracted their partner.

Basically, it’s about finding someone who just “gets” you and resonates with you. Believe it or not, this isn’t as rare as it seems; you can learn how to get better at attracting this, and I help my clients dramatically increase their odds of finding this kind of partner.
