Sex and the Raised Eyebrow The Importance of Sex Education

              Why do we blush whenever the issue of sex is mentioned?  I think it's because by its nature it's a very personal part of us. It's that intimate part of ourselves. Of course, not everyone thinks this way. I was viewing a page on  Instagram yesterday, and someone in the comment section of a very popular page said --and I quote- "Abeg e sex na like handshake".

How to be more Efficient

                                   Ever had so much to do, you had no idea where to begin?  Maybe you found that you had an upcoming test, a long overdue dinner date, chores and a seemingly endless list of other IMPORTANT things to do. It could be overwhelming right? I know. I've been there. Thee have been occasions when I had so much to do, I just wanted to bury myself in a hole, and shut everything out.       But let's be real, you can't do that. If you did, who would take your calculus test for you? Who would have the time to go visit your sick mum and pay attention to her as you would. Okay, you get the picture. With the plethora of things and situations around us vying for our attention, it's only fitting that we devise some strategy to help us bring some order to our sometimes chaotic lives.  So where to begin.
