Let yourself bloom like a flower 🌻

I’ve been asked questions like “Emmah,why did you take a break on your blog”.Well, it’s hard to accept at first but it’s actually a good sign.
A good sign that I’m here to continue from where I stopped.It was hard to accept that I needed to get into a space of recovery-A new phase of learning, relearning and unlearning, a new stage of reshaping and resharpening my mindset.

You’ll be surprised to know that I’m scared of growth and maturity.The word “grow up” scares alot of people (I know it’s not something to be scared about) but it comes with alot of expectations, pressure, responsibilities, tension and sacrifices.
Growth is like being lost in the woods–every direction leads to nowhere at first, it seems very tough and scary but as you journey through, you’ll realize that it’s interesting and adventurous. There’s a whole lot of risks to take and decisions to make. You take steps you never expect you would,this could turn in favour of you or otherwise. In this situation,you decide if you want to SINK or SWIM. Now this decision can’t be possible without GROWTH and MATURITY.

Of a truth,life can get really frustrating, situations will definitely attempt to break you but you have to put yourself out there again and try. The more development we make,the more we tend to grow and outgrow.
You see,it’s so hard to give an advice when you’ve not been through tough process of growth where you’re broken beyond pieces but you know,some words can heal and they definitely will but sometimes, our mindset is fragile to accept the reality that things wouldn’t remain the same forever.
This is my little bid to give you hope, you’re stronger than you can ever imagine. All you have to do is to let growth happen,let maturity take it’s cause.Let go of toxic people, things, memories and circumstances that deprive you of emotional and mental growth.
You can’t hold on to bad memories and expect to grow emotionally.
Open the bag and let them go,free yourself emotional and mental burden and dwell in optimism

Physically-maintain hygiene and “do your thing”.Dress up, smell nice and look peng.

Socially-stay around people who bring out the positive spark in you. Choose your friends and don’t let them choose you. Watch out for positive development,if there’s none,then you’re in the wrong circle.

Spiritually- Practice your faith SINCERELY
Keep it in mind that growth is not always easy but it’s rewards are great.
When growth and maturity finally takes a toll on you,let yourself bloom like a flower.

With love❤️

6 ways to balance vaginal acidity/pH level

Yooooooooooo, where my girls at? Emmahspeaks 🌻 has something for you.

On today’s blog, I’ll be giving a few tips on how to balance the vaginal acidity/pH level. I know you might be wondering what that means but VAGINAL ACIDITY/pH LEVEL is the measure of how acidic/ basic the vaginal fluid is😊….So, let’s proceed.

Douching is the act of washing/cleansing/flushing the inner part of vagina with water or mixture of other prepackaged fluid.This is totally different from washing the outer part of the vagina during a bath.Douching causes an increase/imbalance in acidity and it leads to a yeast infection or bacteria vaginosis. According to Dr Renjie Chang, “The vagina does not need to be washed because it is a self cleansing organ and it has an effective ecology bacteria that helps to main the right path”

As women,we prone to several infections because we have sensitive organs that’s why it’s important to observe personal/vaginal hygiene

___change underwears,tampons and pads,they shouldn’t stay longer than 7/8 hours

____Wash underwears in warm water then rinse twice and dry

___Use cotton underwears only

____Don’t hold urine for long

____Use clean water /wipes after urinating

____Do not use soap, cream or perfume.

This is another measure as the high alkaline nature of the semen can affect the pH level of the vagina. Using contraceptive cream is not advisable.

The use of a water base lubricant is highly recommended

Some food help to keep the vagina healthy. Foods/fruits like sweet potatoes 🥔, avocados 🥑, plain yoghurt 🥛,apples🍎, vegetables like cabbage 🍈 would be of great benefit.

Probiotics in this context are substance that aid the health when consumed in adequate amount,they can be obtained in food/fruit (mentioned earlier) or dietary supplements

Water helps to wash the system and helps to reduce the smell of urine.I

I hope these few tips would be of great help.Thanks for reading.Don’t forget to like, follow and comment.

I love you all❤️
