fem29,cococandy and armyofone its better jare. Life is already hectic as it is for someone to be inviting unnecessary drama ojare. Fem29 I also try to give the 'owambe types' a very wide berth. But you know what I have also seen ones that 'try' to come across as 'classy' 'refined' also wash themselves in public like this o. All in all, I think people just tag everyone BFF these days.I have friends who have been my friends for ages( since pry school) we don't see all the time sometimes even years but I know that even though we are not all up in each others business we care and look out for each other. See where they were sending' loving' almost romantic messages on Instagram and a few months down the line naa egg things ![]() ![]() The one I witnessed too was godmother to the other's child used to buy/wear the same clothes, were always in each others places and na swearing things after all that. Immigration and Met police almost got involved sef. ![]() It really puzzles me when someone is 'close friends or BFF' to someone they don't like ![]() ![]() ![]() Oh well the complexity of the human mind. |

tearoses: I went to deptford market and stumbled on a shop that was unloading a fresh delivery from Nigeria so bought about 5 bunches. Picked,washed and put In freezer bags. I hear they have days you can get them at all markets/stores that have African food . I just wanted to show that eating healthy is not just oyinbo food and spinach and kale are Not the only green veg ![]() |

kushma: Hello .. 1 medium size tomato Green,Yellow and Red bell pepper (1/2of each) 2 eggs (I egg white and 1 full egg) removed the yolk from one as i was trying to reduce cholesterol .i don't always remove it though just remembered yesterday but you can decide to use both yolks Only seasoning was Dried mixed Herbs(thyme ,parsley sage and basil) trying to retrain my taste buds so that was the only seasoning but you can use salt or any other seasoning you like Stir fried the veg with no oil and added the egg about 3 mins later 1 Like |

Mindfulness: You are right that there are pros and cons to both sides as with most things in life.its just up to you to decide what works best for you at any point in time . Family life is very fluid and it's just trying to adjust and deal with the phases as they arise. I agree with you that the children won't be little forever and so it's a great idea to occupy ones self with other interests asides your children. I love being occupied and can't cope with my only activities being just housework and childcare(and they are hardwork) however I won't deride those who dedicate themselves it it. I don't feel superior to them and i don't think they should feel superior to me.We are all just navigating this tricky world of being a parent as best as we both can. 1 Like |

tearoses: ![]() ![]() ![]() Weekends are a but awkward for me too because the routine is not as regimented as week days but what I do is make sure I eat breakfast, try to eat lunch early as well then have a light dinner.snacking unhealthily is the main issue so I try to stay away from them by keeping healthier options in view. My breakfast this morning was two eggs with mixed peepers and a cup of green tea . I had it in with one whole meal wrap . I am so stuffed. The other was my dinner last night . Ewedu and tilapia stew .had it with no swallow. 1 Like 2 Shares

Mindfulness: I actually work full time at the moment with two children one not even yet in pry school so it's not like I keep defending stay at home mums because I am one(was for a while) . I would actually love to work part time (maybe will at some point if I find a job share ) but at the moment my role in my organisation needs a full time position. However I have the luck of having flexible working and work from home (at the worst possible scenario ) which might not necessarily be available to a lot of working people in Nigeria. In the Nigerian context , stay at home mums are generally frowned upon because of the notion of 'not bringing in any money' ![]() ![]() Every typical Nigerian around me including my own mother were always on my case 'to go back to work' and just look for a minder.that is because it was obvious all my 'activities' were not making me as much money as 'going to work' .My husband never complained to any of them but people kept 'imaginarily pitying him ' ![]() Onegai has touched a lot on the issues I was talking about.like I always say when this topic has been rehashed and rehashed it's not a versus thing just do you. I also can't stand when some stay at home mums feel or judge working mums cos they feel they are there more for their kids. Let every parent try and do what is best for their children. I had even made up my mind not to be commenting on these topics but i just can't help it when I start seeing the inference that ALL SAHMs are lazy or intellectually inferior. Money is the common denominator in the Nigerian context and my hubby has had it implied that he was being lazy because he said he won't take a job that gives him little or no time to see his children. 4 Likes |

I see a lot people wearing them to the Gym or while working out .. Guess it works for them.A lot swear that it helped strengthen their core and get flat abs. I have not/don't intend to try it though cos they are so darn uncomfortable even when you wear them when not working out ![]() The concept has been around in different forms for a while now though i.e corsets,girdles, body magic etc so I don't think its going anywhere soon. I guess the fad bit might be people training/working out in them. 1 Like |

OP I have seen some introductions on bella naija and all I could do was ask is this the the trad ![]() ![]() ![]() Mine was a living room affair and I was even the one who cooked more than half of the food ![]() ![]() My sister's was much bigger though as they even had décor , she and her hubby did aso oke there were caterers décor etc. I heard intros are much bigger these days but even at my sisters I was not too impressed with all the fan fare ![]() ![]() However if your fiancée is Yoruba the expenses should be from the brides family. All you need to budget for are gifts which are usually fruit basket and a few drinks. And maybe if you want give her money to buy an outfit you will both wear. Nothing too expensive or over the top. It all comes down to what you can afford. Put your feet down and stick to what you can afford and is within your budget. If she and her family want a 400k intro they better be footing the bill. 3 Likes |

kween911: You are welcome . |

kween911: Hi Kween.. there are indications that green tea is a good anti oxidant. It has also been shown to boost the metabolic rate and increase fat burning in the short term, although not all studies agree. It has been also been said to improve brain performance amongst many other benefits. However I personally believe ( and I know this is subjective and varies with individuals) there is no single 'heathy/super' food that helps weight loss on its OWN. I might not be coming across coherently but let me give an example you cant eat a big loaf of agege bread with 3 fried eggs dripping in oil that had corned beef plus green tea at breakfast, have gala and coke for mid morning snack, eat a very big bowl of rice dodo,moi moi,6pcs of beef,egg spaghetti plus green tea at lunch,have a bag of fried plantain chips as snack plus another coke then eat a big bowl of eba with more orisirisi meta at dinner then drink green tea on top all this with very little or no exercise and expect to lose weight ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Green tea will help the metabolic rate for someone on a balanced diet who also tries to live an active lifestyle. I drink about 3 cups of green tea/herbal teas a day and I can say that maybe it did help me lose weight. But this was with a combination of some other factors which includes the two main things I mentioned earlier which are eating healthy meals and exercising. So you can drink your green tea but do that as well eating clean and exercising. |

tearoses: Yes it is pitta bread. Wholemeal pitta bread. You can tweak it as you wish with other vegetables. I have the Regis stone frying pan. Its brilliant! CC keep at the skipping. I was rubbish at it but I kept practising and now I can do 1,000 reps at a go. You can break it into sets. So for instance if you want to do 200 reps, you can do it 50X4 sets. It makes it easier that way. For a 1,000 I break into 100reps X10 or 200X 5. Its a great all over WO that works muscles in various parts of the body and burns more calories than jogging with less time for those days you just cant be bothered to go for long walk/jog/runs. |

TV01: Thank you TV.. Like you said I will keep mixing it up and reading up . As you said the main idea is to be fit and healthy, a nice toned body is just a plus. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I will definitely share as i learn on his thread. Thank you again. |

TV01: Thank you TV01 all your suggestions are very much appreciated ..will probably stagger it like you said and I love Zumba. As for your questions , I tend to work out in the Mornings and occasionally evenings depending on childcare arrangements. Depending on the WO intensity attached would be an example of what I would have in the morning. This was my breakfast this morning and my session this morning was Shaun T25 focus.Some days I have a smoothie some days oats sweetened with dates,almonds and various seeds. And done days fat free yoghurt and fruit.try to mix it up a bit .On Saturdays I tend to have eggs and vegetables . For lunch I would have something like sweet potatoes steamed veg and fish . And dinner would be more veg/protein eg spinach or broccoli and maybe grilled chicken . I would have green tea with breakfast and lunch and another type of herbal tea for dinner eg camomile,red bush(something caffeine free ). You are right my goal is have a toned body and ribbed abs ![]() ![]() ![]() Thank you again 2 Likes

TV01 can you help with suggestions? I tend to eat more complex carbs i.e. sweet potatoes, yam, brown rice, whole grain cous cous etc in small portions .. Completely cutting out carbs makes me feel dizzy/very weak especially as I do some form of working out ( running ,skipping ,HIIT,kick boxing, weight training etc ) about 4/5 times a week. My dilemma is I don't eat any carbs after 6pm. So if am on a fast and breaking the fast at 6pm I would tend to not want to have Carbs. Do you advise I totally abstain from working out during the fasting period ( which I don't want to) or do less demanding exercises. I was going to incorporate some more weight training this year anyway( bought some heavier weights over the weekend) and do less cardio but don't know how my body will react to working full time, fasting and still working out at the rate which I normally do . Any low impact exercise suggestions( apart from walking ) would be appreciated. My working out buddy suggested Yoga but never really gotten the whole yoga thing. Happy New year to you and yours by the way. May It be a blessed and fulfilling one for us all by His Grace ![]() |

tearoses: I know someone who does that too.. ![]() What I have found is different things work for different people in the bid to live healthy. Some need to lose a lot of weight so sometimes they might need to take drastic actions and do stuff to motivate themselves that might not necessarily work long term but is needed at that point ie calculating macros to the tiniest gram ,weighing in everyday or every week.etc. I just found that the weigh in used to depress me especially as I was basically working out 5/6 times a week so the scale not moving was dampener. I just decided to keep moving and eat properly with portion control on lock down and with time the weight fell off naturally.Also sometimes it was not accurate due to certain other factors eg water retention etc Happy new year may it be a fit healthy one for us all.. Try to get in some sort of exercise today people ![]() 1 Like
