- Now please wash up

I have met all types of people and yes some could end up becoming so annoying,mostly contributed from self hygiene.Most people especially men think that for one to be hygienic its a matter of a two minutes shower and you are out then you are clean but this is not the case cleaning entails much more.Today i will give you a step by step tips on how to take good care of your private self.This is a topic that most would rather discuss with there gynecologists or doctors well here are the Do's and Dont's when you lock yourself inside that small room you call a bathroom. DO… be thorough but gentle On the inside the vagina can actually look after itself – it’s a self-cleansing organ. But let's face it, only a shower or bath really makes you feel clean 'down there' – on the outside at least. If you feel the need to use soaps, use very gentle products, nothing harsh or with too much perfume. Only clean the outside, and don't scrub the inside of the vagina with soap. This can cause infections and irritation. The same goes for men. Use lots of water and gentle soaps and be very thorough. There are lots of little skin folds and wrinkles around the penis – make sure you gently get to all of them. If you’re not circumcised, pull back your foreskin to wash the head of your penis and get rid of any smegma – the white stuff that collects under the foreskin. Just like the inside of the vagina, the head of the penis is a bit like the inside of your mouth, and it doesn’t really need soap. If you do use soap, keep it gentle. For both men and women, clean your anus last. The same rules apply: lots of water, a bit of gentle soap and no excessive scrubbing. Finally, make sure that you rinse of any leftover soap around the genital area with lots of water, and then gently dry your genital area. DO… avoid urinary tract and vagina infections Good genital hygiene is important to staying healthy. Urinary tract and vaginal infections are something that affects mostly the ladies, because their urethra is shorter and their vaginas are more at risk of infections. Sometimes, infections aren't avoidable, but some women get them more often than others. If that happens to you, consider changing your hygiene routine. Again, don't use harsh cleaning products, as they can irritate your genital area. You should also avoid dampness, so change into clean, dry underwear after you’ve worked out or sweated a lot. And on the toilet, after you’ve finished your business, always remember to wash or wipe from the front to the back. This is to avoid getting harmful bacteria from your anus near your vagina and urinary tract. DO… notice changes While you are cleaning your genital area, it's the best time to look for and notice any changes. Unusual smells or discharge, pimples and bumps or painful areas could all be signs that something is going wrong. Maybe you have an STD or you were overly enthusiastic with cleaning. If you notice any changes, keep an eye on them for a day or two, and if they don't improve or get worse, see a doctor to make sure that everything is still healthy around your genitals. DON’T... be afraid of smells, embrace the pheromones Every vagina and every penis has a certain smell. That's natural and normal. There are sweat glands around your genitals that cause that smell. They are similar to the ones found in your armpits. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of a smell, and you certainly shouldn't try to cover it with deodorants or excessive cleaning. Cleaning once a day is enough. And an extra wash before sex – especially oral! But… instead of using over-perfumed genital wipes or smelly soaps, embrace your natural clean scent. It contains pheromones, which are chemical messengers in part responsible for the attraction between men and women. Which sounds and smells so much sexier than fake scents. But, if you start smelling fishy or unpleasantly different, go see a doctor. It could be a sign of infection. DON’T… douche or bleach Ladies, don't douche. Douching can seriously disturbed your vaginal balance and cause itching, irritation and infections. And once you have an infection, more douching can push the bacteria that's causing it into and up your vagina. That can lead to problems with your uterus, ovaries or fallopian tubes. And stay away from creams and lotions that promise to make your genital or anal area whiter. They, too, can cause irritations and infections. DON'T... forget to shave Ladies shaving your arm pits and your virginal area is especially very important.This helps you keep off from bad odors and especially during those red days,for men it is also as important after all no one wants to be caught up with a smelly man. DON’T… forget the rest of your body There is more to hygiene than just genital hygiene. You won't do yourself or your partner and everybody else any favors if your genitals are clean and well-taken care of but your breath and armpits haven't had any attention for weeks. So make sure you brush your teeth twice a day, shower or bath regularly and use deodorant if you sweat a lot or tend to smell underneath your arms. Clean dirt from underneath your nails. Some people like to remove or trim their body hair – whether you like this or not is up to you, but it can be a bit easier to keep clean and smell nice if your body hair is under control.

Make Room: God Desires Your Undivided Attention

Last Sunday, the Lord woke me up at 4am. After spending some quiet time with Him, I stepped out of bed at exactly 5:30 am. Being a Sunday, there’s usually a lot on my plate. Then suddenly, I remembered that there was supposed to be a video shoot in my house that day—something that had completely slipped my mind. As I prepared my cup of coffee, the Holy Spirit nudged me to pick up my Bible and spend more time with Him. I could sense the Lord was longing for my undivided attention. So, I opened my Bible and asked the Holy Spirit what He desired to teach me. He led me to Joshua 5. I began reading quietly, but soon felt prompted to read aloud. This chapter speaks of Joshua circumcising an entire new generation of Israel with flint knives. I paused and asked, “Lord, weren’t the male children supposed to be circumcised on the eighth day?” The Holy Spirit delights when we ask Him questions. It became a moment of fellowship between us. He then led me to Numbers 9, particularly verses 15–23, an...

When Someone Else’s Win Feels Like Your Own

Some moments leave you smiling for hours—heart full, spirit light. Yesterday was one of those moments. My partner has been encouraging me to get back to blogging, saying I have a gift for storytelling. Maybe he’s right, because if ever there was a story worth sharing, it’s this one. Lately, I’ve noticed something beautiful—young ladies and gentlemen speaking to me from a place of motherhood. Some even call me Mom. It’s a title I’m slowly embracing, because I feel that, by the grace of God, I might be mentoring them or guiding them in the right direction. It’s such a humbling experience. Mom it is. There’s one young man in particular—someone I’m connected to through leadership. Over time, I’ve come to deeply admire his commitment to God, his hunger for spiritual growth, and the way he quietly lives out his faith. Yesterday, he called and invited me to walk with him through an incredibly personal milestone in his life. My heart almost burst. First, from the honor of him seeing me and cho...

When Church Hurts

There is always an unpleasant awareness of how much hurt comes from the church. It's an unspoken hurt. Today as i shared with a friend about this topic i echoed how church hurt is almost if not at all similar to family hurt or worse. Many of us may be experiencing or may have experienced church hurt. What makes it different is that it happens in the place where you thought safety existed. Psalm 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. If you are a regular attendee of a church, ministry, or faith group, the chances are high that at one time or another you’ve had your feelings hurt, either by a member of the congregation, or even by a Pastor, Minister or other Church leader. The feeling that immediately sets in is why? Why would those that you thought would be your "protectors" all of a sudden seem or feel some type of way about you? Why the outright jealous? Why the consistent gossip? The ma...
