What Do You Need To Know Before Travelling Alone?

The thought of social distancing being the aftermath of Covid 19 makes me think about solo travelling more…. After reminencing about my University outings with friends and my solo travelling to University of Ibadan Zoo. In the end, I concluded that if a regular journey could make me a better and smarter person, the solo adventure will make me a super smart person. Once you dare to overcome some of your fears, you will be inspired to confront all the other fears. I decided to pen this down so I can plan towards my future solo trip to Iceland! Finland! Belgium! Chile! Canada! Switzerland and Japan!

Solo travelers journey is mostly a mix of entertainment, adventure and culture. They get to know localities much faster and better, they get to meet interesting people, but they came back home from the trip knowing themselves far better. Spending some time all alone is a reliable way to test your resourcefulness, get to know yourself and your own desires. A single trip can be a powerful, life changing experience. You get to do what you want when you want. You can connect with people if you wish or avoid them completely if you want to be alone.

Herein are some interesting tips on solo travel

  • Decide on Your Destination: Maybe you have a dream destination or maybe you just need to get away and the destination doesn’t matter that much. Deciding on your destination makes your trip more fun and relaxing.
  • Study a Map of your Destination and Be Patient: It can be difficult arriving in a new city alone. Take your time. Take a day to relax, watch the city function, and settle in, also you have to get to know your map. Get a sense of direction using major landmarks like the nearest Police station, Central Park, or the Amusement Park, a Popular Tower, restaurant or supermarket . This will help you explore cities safely.
  • Book Solo-friendly accommodation: for your first solo trip, I highly recommend at least pre-booking your first couple of nights. This will allow you to get into the groove of traveling alone without the added stress of finding a place to stay right away. It also allows you to do some research about where you’re staying beforehand, especially if I’m going somewhere I’ve never been before. Book a homestay,guest house, hotel, hostel, small inn that is particularly good for solo travelers.
  • Stay in Touch: Before you leave home, come up with a communication plan that will work for both you and any concerned family members and friends. As much as you want to be free from family and friends pressure, you want to relax and be happy alone, please know how to stay in touch with your family and friends. Give them update of your new environments and let them also be relaxed that you are safe and having fun.
  • Travel Between Destination: Whether you choose the train, bus, or plane, live within the limits of a carry-on bag or backpack. You’ll be happy you did as you manage to move around from destination to destination with greater ease.
  • Be Obvious: Place your camera, travel guide, or map on the table, making it obvious that you’re a tourist. Some people are concerned about looking like a tourist and therefore looking like a mark. In a restaurant there is a certain amount of safety. Yes, you should still be discerning in who you talk with but in most cases the person will be not only safe but also interesting.

Everyone should try this kind of adventure at least once in a lifetime.

Experienced Travel Enthusiasts
  • Buy Travel Insurance: Think you don’t need it? You may want to give it a re-think. It’s not nice to think about, but getting injured/sick is a possibility whenever you travel. Plenty of other not-so-nice things can happen to you while you’re abroad, too, like getting pick pocketed on the street. If you don’t buy travel insurance, you’re responsible for anything that goes wrong. If you do, you can claim many expenses back.
  • Be Proactive. If you’re unsure of yourself, ask for help. Standing around looking dazed will not get you where you want to go and it may get you noticed by the wrong people. It would be a strange occurrence for you to choose to ask the wrong person for information, so go ahead, smile, and ask for help. It’s one of the fundamentals of staying safe as you travel solo.
  • Safety is Key: Safety is always a hot topic when it comes to solo travel, and there are plenty of things you can do to ensure the safety of both yourself and your belongings. How you’ll keep your stuff safe is something you can plan for in advance, too. Along with being aware of your surroundings and trusting your gut instincts (and not carrying all your money on you at one time!), there are some products you can buy to make it harder for pickpockets to get you.
  • Know Your Budget. You don’t want to get stranded in a foreign city? know you budget and don’t spend more than you planned. There are few steps involved in planning your travel budget, you may want to have a small jotter for how you spend and how much you have spent to avoid story that touches the heart.
  • Be Happy: Understand how travel contributes to happiness. I find that once I understand the why of something it’s easier to follow through and do it.
Female Guide
  • Go Far Off The Beaten Path: Travelers who find each other where there are few tourists are more inclined to talk to each other. Meet someone on a hike or in a specific zoo or museum and you already know that you have an interest in common.
  • Walk And You May Also Like To Take a Book: There is no better way to get to know a city and understand its culture than walking. It slows you down so that you can see the nuances of the society and understand how the city is designed. It will not only occupy you but also signal to other solos that you travel alone.
  • Smile and Learn a Few Words in the Local Language: Smile means the same things in every language. It means you are happy, friendly, approachable, kind. A smile opens many conversations. Making an effort to communicate in the local language is always appreciated and often returned with an effort to communicate in your language.
  • Pack Light and Pack Smart: You’ll of course want to take the weather forecast into account when you’re putting together your packing list, but you also should do a little homework into whether or not there are any cultural standards that you should know about before you go. I personally hate heavy luggage and one of the most important thing about travelling to me is packing light and packing essentials. If you’re going someplace where you’ll want to be a bit more fashionable. When traveling in summer or winter? you should also know what to pack.
  • Plan Your Travel Effectively: Because am a foodie I will suggest you bring light snacks with you. If there’s turbulence there won’t be service during the flight. Confirm that your flight is on schedule before leaving for the airport. Board early so you have no trouble putting your carry-on luggage in an overhead compartment. At check-in, ask if the flight is ‘full’ or ‘light.’ If it’s light, you may be able to jockey for a better seat. If you have a connecting flight, get all the information you need before boarding your first flight to make the connection easily.

This way of traveling is ideal, and especially for extroverted people. In no time you’ll meet new, interesting people in a nearby cafe or on a beach. All what you need is to be open-minded and a bit cautious, especially when in distant and unknown countries.

MOTHERHOOD IS LOVE AT FIRST KICK❣️

Some people have more than one and some people don’t know theirs, but everyone from the President all the way down to an ant has a MOTHER!
While motherhood is wonderful and beautiful and all of those pleasant things, any mom will tell you that it can also be super scary.  Most moms have at least a few horror stories to share as well.  With that in mind, here are facts about motherhood to remind you just how amazing you are as a MOTHER!

One of the joy of motherhood is to see your child smile all the time…

Breastfeeding Boost Immune System

Breast milk confers all sorts of immune system benefits. Researchers have long known that breastfeeding provides real-time immune support, meaning that as your baby encounters bacteria and viruses, you will make immune boosting compounds and pass them on via breast milk. The nutritional benefits of breast milk can’t be matched by formula because of the antibodies that are transmitted through a mother’s milk, breastfed babies are more resistant to infections of the respiratory system and digestive tract during early childhood.

The Unknown

No matter how organized and predictable you may be, parenting can’t be scheduled and predictable. Is not because you are not a good mother, is simply because they are not possible in parenting. From the moment you conceive, there are millions of things that could go wrong. As they grow, they can get sick or hurt or lost. The “what ifs” will drive you mad if you let them!

Mothers Voice Represent Comfort

The mother’s voice represents comfort to newborns, and can calm them down in no time. No matter how old you are, your mother’s voice is always a comfort because mother’s love is pure and the only unconditional love you will ever experience.

Mothers Hold There Child In There Heart

There’s a famous saying that says, “We hold our children in our arms for a little while, and in our hearts forever.” Every parent knows it’s true. But for mothers, well, it’s literally true.

A Pregnant Woman Brain Receives Cells

A pregnant woman’s brain receives cells from the fetus, and a baby’s DNA can show inside the mother’s brain; both exchange cells through their connection with the placenta.


Pinterest

Labour and Delivery

Which of the experience should we talk about? The sharp pain, the cramps, the fear of the unknown, drama, pain, screaming, crying, the push, the tiers, uncertainty – It’s all frightening!

Feminism Can’t Take Away Motherhood

Even though motherhood is becoming less popular, a majority of women still become mothers. Modern moms are more likely to be more educated, single, and older.

Kangaroo Care Helps Premature Babies

Compared to strictly keeping premature babies in incubators, studies have found that daily kangaroo care can help them gain weight faster, be more resistant to infections and hypothermia, and experience less pain during uncomfortable procedures, like heel lancing. The really interesting thing is that scientists still don’t fully understand how kangaroo care provides these benefits. It only seems to work when the baby is naked (or wearing a diaper) and is held directly against a mother’s bare skin. It’s possible that skin-to-skin contact uniquely stimulates release of the hormone oxytocin in both the baby and mother, but scientists still aren’t sure.

Baby Recognize There Mum’s Smell

Your motherly smell is recognised by your baby within few meters, and this alone can stop them crying in few seconds. The smell of newborn babies excites mothers very much. It is like a drug addict getting a fix, and it makes the mother feel more protective and in control.

A Mother’s Heart Enlarges

A mother’s heart enlarges during pregnancy, and it starts beating harder in order to pump more blood into her carrying body.


Pinterest

Permanent Alteration In Mothers

Scientists believe that the hormones that flood the brain during pregnancy can lead to permanent alterations in mothers, similar to the way teenage hormones contribute to adolescent brain development.

Public Opinion

No matter what you do as a mom, someone will always find fault with it. Breast vs. bottle; Stay at home vs. working; co-sleeping vs. sleep training; spanking vs. time-out – the list goes on and on. If we let the advice of others get under our skin, it can be very terrifying!

The Uterus Size is Bigger

The uterus size of a pregnant woman is 500 times bigger than the usual. The normal uterus size is like a peach fruit, and a pregnant woman’s uterus is the size of a watermelon!

Ma Is One Of The First Sounds Babies Are Able To Make

It’s no coincidence that the word for “mom” sounds similar across different languages: after simple “oohs” and “ahh”s, “ma” is one of the first sounds babies are able to make. The sound for “m” is known as a bilabial nasal consonant and consists of voicing a sound using only the closed lips (as opposed to “d” or “g” sounds which use the tongue or “v” which uses the teeth). Be it “mama” in English, “Mami” in Yoruba “maman” in French, “màna” in Greek, or “mama” in Swahili—babies’ abilities have given us the words for their mothers all over the world!

Mother’s Day Colour And It Meaning

Wearing a colored carnation on Mother’s Day indicates that a person’s mother is living. A white carnation means that a person’s mother is dead.

To all the beautiful ma’mas out there, wherever you are, be proud of how much beautiful, unique, strong, and exceptional you are. Mothers around the world face different challenges, but some common global concerns include guilt over not spending enough times with kids, feeling overwhelmed, and frustration at being the default parent.

You are in control and the entire world is proud of you always remember life comes with you and not with a manual 😂

Some Prank are to Deadly

Hi Cute WSW lovers!!! Thanks for always reading my blog posts.

Am part of those that believe that pranks, in general, are taking things too far, but that’s usually just because am on the receiving end of it. There are some jokes or pranks that do take things too far to even be considered funny. Pranks that result in emotional scarring and self-doubt are among these types. Another obvious type of prank that would be too much would be the ones that result in death.It’s no laughing matter when someone gets killed in the interest of some innocent fun, but it happens more often than you might think.

Some pranks are funny, some are not and sometimes the worst happens. Unfortunately, when these pranks misfired actual people were tragically killed.

Let be careful while playing pranks on people, we deal with things differently and our mental state of handling things differs. May we not be unfortunate………

Supporting Small Businesses is Supporting a Dream!!!

Hello Cute WSW Lovers!!! Thanks for always reading my blog.

Women should learn to support fellow women. If you are a small business owner, support a smaller business women. If you are a big corporation, support that small companies as they are pretty big part of the economy. That mindset of not bargaining for prices at supermarkets like ShopRite, JustRite, MiniMart, Addide to mention but few should also be used fairly when bargaining with that small enterprises in your community. It’s not fair enough to ridiculously price goods you know you can’t get at supermarkets for such prices( who bargains price at supermarkets?)….. How can you beats price from 10k to 1,500 all in the name of you sabi price market( sis, fear God ooo)
I created a WhatsApp group sometimes in April, 2020 strictly for females and amongst other things we distinguished Saturdays to be our Market Day, this is solely to encourage small enterprises to advertised their products and services and we also share on some of our platforms to get them followers On Instagram and potential customers.
This year, show your support for small enterprises by supporting there dreams.

30 Bone Chilling Facts About Death

Death is not the opposite of life but a part of it.

Haruki Murakimi

One thing that’s certain is that some day, we’re all going to die. Death is the start of a great adventure—despite that you might not be around for it. While that may sound very macabre, that fundamental truth has fascinated and terrified people for as long as the existence of humans.

Here are 30 astonishing bone chilling facts about death that you need to know.

Leading Causes of Death

According to WHO, the leading causes of death worldwide are Covid 19, chronic obstructive lung disease, ischaemic heart disease, stroke, and . Other leading causes of death are HIV/AIDS, diarrheal diseases, lower respiratory infections and diabetes mellitus.

Metempsychosis Belief

The belief in metempsychosis is the belief that at death, the soul passes into another body.

The Enzymes

Just three days after dying, the enzymes that help break down a person’s food begin to eat that person’s body. Once the heart stops beating, the body experiences “the death chill.” As the blood cools, it becomes more acidic as carbon dioxide builds. This process causes cells to split open, which empties tissue-eating enzymes into the body.

The Genius Brain

After he died, Albert Einstein’s brain was preserved. It is on display at the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia.

Lack of Physical Exercise

Lack of physical exercise is one of the leading causes of preventable deaths worldwide.

The Philanthropist Body

After he died, Awolowo body was preserved for some years which was displayed at his museum in Ikenne, Ogun State, Nigeria before he was later buried.

The Death Professionals

A “Forensic Pathologist” is a doctor who determines the cause of death through autopsies. They are not the same as a “Mortician”, who prepares the body for the funeral.

Visible Sign of Death

One of the first visible signs of death is when the eyes cloud over, as fluid and oxygen stop flowing to the corneas. That can happen within 10 minutes after death if the eyes were open (and 24 hours if the eyes were closed). Soon after death, a person’s eyeballs flatten due to the loss of blood pressure.

Daily Death Rate

An average of 150,000 people die every single day.

Human Cells

Every minute, 300 million cells die in the human body.

Cotard Syndrome

It a condition where people believe they are dead. These people might also think they lost their soul, or their organs mysteriously disappeared.

People Know They Are Dying

When people find out they are dying, they experience what’s known as an “existential slap,” according to palliative care experts. It’s the moment when a person knows, on a gut level, that death is close.

Endocannibalism

In some cultures, they practice cannibalistic rituals. They believe eating their deceased loved ones is an honor.

Hair and Nails Myth

It’s a myth that hair and nails grow after death. What really happens is that the body dries out, so the nail beds and skin on the head retract, making nails, stubble, and hair appear longer.


Sensory Organ

As a person dies, his or her hearing is the last sense to go.

Stampede Deaths

During human stampede deaths, such as those that occurred at Mecca, more people die of compressive asphyxia than by trampling. People can also suffer cardiac arrest if they faint standing up and there is nowhere to fall.

Distinctive Smell of Death

Two of the gases responsible for the distinctive smell of death are called putrescine and cadaverine. They’re produced when bacteria break down the amino acids ornithine and lysine, respectively.

Forensic Scientists

One of the ways Forensic Scientists can tell how long a body has been dead is by examining the types of bugs that are in the body. For example, some bugs only arrive after a certain amount of time and then will all be gone after another interval.

Function of Larynx During Death Process

During the death process, the larynx loses it cough reflex, which creates a buildup of mucous. This causes a “death” rattle, or the gurgling or rattle-like sound of someone dying.

Necrophagous

Scientists call insects that feed off decaying flesh necrophagous, meaning “dead” and “to eat.” Flies are usually the first insects to arrive at a dead body, mainly to ay their eggs on moist locations, such as the mouth, nose, eyes, anus, wounds, or the female reproductive tract.

Mount Everest

There are more than 300 corpses of failed climbers frozen on Mount Everest.

The Modern Day Embalming Process

The modern-day process of “embalming” is draining the blood from a corpse, and replacing it with formaldehyde. This creates a bloated look to the body. It is possible that an embalmed body will not look very much like the living person did.

Archaic Slang for Death

“Hop the twig,” “yield the crow a pudding,” “snuff one’s glim,” and “climb the six-foot ladder,” were all once slang terms for death.

Germs Theory

Dead bodies generally aren’t dangerous just because they’re dead. But in the 19th century, there was widespread belief in “miasmatic theory,” which said that air coming from rotting corpses and other sources of decay lead to the spread of disease. This belief was more or less replaced by germ theory.

Death is Legal in Norway

Contrary to popular reports, it’s not illegal to die in Longyearbyen, Norway. It is true that it’s so cold there bodies barely decompose. But since the town has no nursing homes and only a small hospital, residents are required to move to the mainland once they become elderly.

Beauty is not Easy to Maintain

When a woman with breast implants is cremated, the implants will melt into goo. It drips to the bottom of the furnace, and needs to be cleaned up once cooled.

Six Feet Idea

The idea that graves need to be 6 feet deep comes from a 1665 plague outbreak in England, when the mayor of London decreed the burial depth to limit the spread of disease.

Dance Party or Skydiving

You’re more likely to be killed at a dance party than while skydiving. This is simply because you can easily be poisoned. Be more vigilant!

Don’t Drink While Driving and Don’t Drive While Drinking

Every hour, at least one person dies in a drunk driving incident.

Lol as Oppose Lol

In at least one version of telegraph code, LOL meant “loss of life.”

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.

Death is Inevitable and it shall come when it shall come!!!

25 Facts About Love You Probably Don’t Know

Falling in love is exciting. The whole world is a more beautiful place because of our newfound lovers. Obstacles seem to vanish. Colors seem brighter. Love hold so much space not only in our lives, but in our psychology, in our biology, and in our history. 
Herein, we’ve gathered some scientific and psychological facts about love that will make you grateful for this blurry, ardent and warm emotion, despite how overwhelming it can be at times.

Love is life, you feed it, you nourish and nurture it. When you do these three things, it get more nourished, we you kill it, it dies.

1. World Longest Marriage Lasted for 86 Years

Zelmyra and Herbert Fisher broke The Guinness World Record for the longest marriage. They were married on May 13, 1924. In 2008, they earned the record for longest marriage at 84 years. In 2011, Herbert passed away at 105, and a few years later in 2013, Zelmyra followed at 105 years old as well.
The next time one of your friends tries to tell you that true love doesn’t exist, just tell them to look up Herbert and Zelmyra Fisher. As for the secret to their success, the couple once said that “there’s no secret to our marriage—we just did what was needed for each other and our family.”

2. Ladies in Red

For reasons that are not yet clear, studies consistently show that when the same woman wears red versus a different color, men are more inclined to engage her in deeper conversations. This is true even when the clothing styles are otherwise identical.

3. Falling in Love is as Addicting as Cocaine or Nicotine.

Dopamine, a chemical that is released during the initial attraction stage of the relationship is also activated when using cocaine and nicotine. That feeling of euphoria drug users experience is same as what you get when you fall in love. Dopamine gives you that rush of pleasure and happiness that makes those drugs so addicting. It also enhances the release of testosterone, which as stated above is essential for attraction. I suppose falling in love would be the safer drug of choice if you had to choose between the three.

4. The Heart Symbol Initially Represent Foliage


The heart symbol was first used to denote love in the 1250. Prior to that, it represented foliage.

5. Love can Make you Sick

Although it hasn’t been proven that love makes you physically sick, it does raise levels of cortisol, Cortisol is a stress hormone that has been shown to suppress immune function, making you more likely to get sick. If you’ve ever heard someone say they’re lovesick, they may have been onto something.

6. Love can be a Pain / Stress Reliever

Though love isn’t going to be replacing modern or herbal medicine any time soon, it could come in handy if you ever find yourself in some serious pain. Feeling stressed? Hug it out with the person you love. Study conducted shows that  seeing the image of your loved ones reduced the level of pain you felt.
Personally, I can attest to this because during delivery, holding the hand of my husband and seeing his face make the journey so smooth and relive me of pains experience during labour. A friend told me during her dental extraction, holding the picture of her lover boy relive her of pain. Perhaps you should have a picture of someone you love on next time you need a stress reliever.

7. Sex and Love Influent Us Differently

Research has shown that thinking of love influences creativity and abstract thoughts, as well as long-term planning. Thinking of sex however influences immediate decision making and attention to momentary details.

8. Cuddling is Good For You

Oxytocin is often referred to as the “love hormone.” or the “cuddling hormone”.
There’s a reason that you love those sacred snuggle sessions so much it is because every time you and your partner cuddle, it triggers the release of happiness hormone oxytocin to increase your mood and wellbeing.

9. Love is Adventurous

Studies show that if a woman meets a man in a dangerous situation (and vice versa), such as securing from kidnappers or on a trembling bridge, she is more likely to fall in love with him than if she met him in a mundane settings, such as in a conference room.

10. When it Comes to Love and Relationships, Honesty is the best policy.

Honestly, being honest in life is the best policy. Specifically, while falling in love honesty and openness is an antidote to being vulnerable and anxious. I found out that the more honest couples are with one another about how their relationship is going, the more likely they are to last long-term.

11. Being in Love can Reduce Appetite

When someone is in the attraction phase of love, high levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are released. Dopamine is known as one of the happiness hormones, and these chemicals can make people feel giddy and even euphoric. This reaction can also lead to decreased appetite and insomnia, which means you can actually be so “in love” that you can’t eat or sleep well.

12. Loving from a Distance can Actually Strengthen Relationship

Loving my husband for more than 1 decade despite spending most of our time separately really strengthen our relationship. People have different opinions about distance, one of my boss told me we don’t really know each other because we don’t see each other often and I bluntly told her the only person I can predict is my husband. People might try to tell you that long distance relationships can’t and won’t work, but am categorically telling you otherwise. In fact, according to one study published in the Journal of Communication not only are long distance relationships just as successful as regular ones, but they are also more effective in building trust and satisfaction between partners.

13. Appreciation can Improve Love

Everyone wants to be cared for and appreciated. Couples who took the time to express gratitude for their partner not only felt more positive toward the other person but also felt more comfortable expressing concerns about their relationship.

14. Love is 3 Feelings in 1

Their are tangible reasons why love is so complicated and indescribable amongst them is actually the attribute of having 3 feelings in one. Romantic love can actually be broken down into three sensations: lust, attraction and attachment. And each feeling is characterized by its own set of hormones stemming from the brain.

15. Love Portions are Made from Human Sweat

Historically, human sweat has been used to make love-attracting perfumes, and even love-potions. Though sweat contains pheromones that are key ingredients in attraction, the efficacy of sweat in perfumes and potions is questionable at best.

16. Loves Can Changes You

If you find yourself watching thrillers when you used to only prefer romantic movies or if you suddenly love  Nigerian Streets food when you didn’t before, you might want to credit your partner. Online survey conducted among lovers shows that people in love often have different interests and personality traits after entering into their respective relationships.

17. Your Body has a Vein of Love
