BOOHOO MAN ROUND METAL SUNGLASSES

How did these sunglasses end up becoming mine? Well, let me tell you a little story. I originally got these shades for my partner from Boohoo man, but alas, they didn't quite fit right. So, in a stroke of fate, I decided to claim them as my own. And hey, don't they look absolutely fabulous on me? They sure do!

I wore these sunglasses during my lunchtime at Joal Restaurant in Dublin, and I looked fab.

With summer upon us, it's time to talk sunglasses. And not just any sunglasses, but the perfect round ones that won't break the bank. Round-framed sunglasses are a godsend if your face is square, as they work wonders in softening those angles.

Got a round face? Circular shades might not be your best bet. Instead, opt for something slightly more angular to add a touch of definition.

Oval faces are lucky ducks; they can rock just about any frame shape, including those trendy round shades.

If you've got a long, narrow face, fear not. Round sunglasses can be your best friend, just make sure to avoid anything too small that might emphasize the length.

Triangular face shapes, listen up. Look for sunglasses with some heft or embellishments at the outer edges to balance out that silhouette.

And for those heart-shaped faces, round shades are your secret weapon in minimizing width at the top of your face.

But hey, are round sunglasses really your jam? Well, that's up to you and your personal style. Whether you're into oversized drama or sticking to the classics, there's a pair out there with your name on it.

Would you like to know where I got these sunglasses? Well, I got them from boohoo man. They're the round metal sunglasses.

Oh, and while we're on the topic, don't forget about UV protection! It's not just about looking cool; it's about keeping those peepers safe from the sun's harmful rays. And hey, while you're at it, slap on some sunscreen to protect that lovely skin of yours. Here's to a fantastic summer ahead!

  

Weekend Chill at Café en Seine Dublin

Hey everyone, if you haven't caught wind of my showdown with Gabriella, the night manager at the Louis Fitzgerald hotel, well, guess what? I took a trip to Dublin! Despite the hiccup, I managed to have a blast, and here's one highlight from the trip.

Before diving in, a huge shout out to Stanley, a friend's friend, who played tour guide for us. Initially, I suggested we hit up the hotel bar for a chill drink or find a local pub. But Stanley had other plans. He took us on a little adventure around town, and that's how we stumbled upon Café en Seine.

Stepping into that place was like stepping into a dream. The ambiance was just right, with music playing and people swaying gracefully. The décor was on point, with candles flickering on high tables. We grabbed some drinks and decided to explore. Each corner was like a new scene from a romantic movie, with red and pink accents everywhere. We couldn't resist snapping photos and taking videos while sipping on our drinks.

A Comprehensive Review of the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel in Ireland Dublin

So, remember my previous story about Gabriella of the Louis Fitzgerald hotel, aka the night manager? Well, let me tell you about our room experience.

First off, the room was really neat, like, super tidy. The bed was nicely made, and there were plenty of closets to keep our stuff organized. I specifically asked for a room without any funky smells, and they totally delivered. It was clean and airy, just how we like it.

They had all the essentials covered: hair dryers, soap, towels, you name it. Plus, they kept a tea stand fully stocked, which was a lifesaver for a tea lover like me. Oh, and there were even biscuits and milk – talk about hospitality!

Now, onto the entertainment – the TV was pretty decent, with YouTube and other channels to keep us entertained. Nothing fancy, but it did the job. And the rug? Not a whiff of funkiness there, just a nice, cozy rug that tied the room together.

I also appreciated the curtains – clean, no stains, and they matched the room perfectly. The lighting was great too, with a mix of white and yellow to suit everyone's tastes.

But here's where things get a bit iffy – the bathroom. Don't get me wrong, it was clean and all, but the shower setup was a bit... Awkward. You practically had to do acrobatics just to get a decent shower because the shower head was fixed in place. It was not the type of shower you can move around, you have to stand in one place and turn around to shower your whole body. The curtain had a couple of black stains, but nothing too major.

Oh, and get this – I think someone might've snooped around my laptop. When we got back to the room, we found the cleaner's earpods charging with my friend's charger. She came back for them later, but it left me feeling a bit uneasy about my laptop.

This hotel is not located in the heart of the city center, we had to pay about 30-45 euros for a taxi to get into the city center to attend church on Sunday. They have breakfast service.

Overall, not a bad stay, but definitely room for improvement, especially in the bathroom. Ever stayed Louis Fitzgerald hotel in Dublin? Let me know what you think!

Breakfast Chronicles: Dining Experience at Louis Fitzgerald Hotel

I was in the middle of a beautiful dream when my friend rudely interrupted, insisting we go for breakfast. Still half-asleep, I grumbled about wanting more shut-eye but eventually dragged myself out of bed and threw on some clothes. Off we stumbled to the breakfast stand, bleary-eyed and grumpy.

Now, let's chat about my breakfast adventure at the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel in Dublin. But hey, before we dig into that, have you checked out my hotel review yet? If not, you're missing out—go give it a read. Alright, back to breakfast. I'm not exactly a breakfast connoisseur, but even I could tell the food wasn't exactly fresh. Hotels love to boast about their "fresh" orange juice, but let's be real here—who's squeezing oranges at the crack of dawn?

The food was... meh. Considering the staff issues I noticed, I wasn't expecting a Michelin-star meal. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't exactly a culinary masterpiece either. The breakfast area was neat and tidy, and my friend and I managed to snag a cozy corner to chow down. They did have a decent variety, and everything was served piping hot, so I'll give 'em that. Overall, not a bad experience, but definitely room for improvement. So, spill the beans—what's been your best hotel breakfast experience?

Our Experience with Night Manager Gabriella at the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel in Dublin

At this point in my life, I've learned to let things go and not take them too seriously. Recently, I traveled to Dublin, and planning the trip with my friend Ebube was really easy. We booked my tickets using Easyjet, and I traveled to Dublin by Aircoach bus. 

My flight was very early, and with the added stress of potentially missing it, I did not sleep well. I've learned that while early flights may be cheaper, I need to give myself a break from booking them. Despite that, the journey was smooth—both the flight and the bus ride to Dublin. Overall, it was a great trip, and I'm grateful for the safe travels.

I haven't slept well all week, and I was hoping to sleep when I get to the hotel before my friend arrives.

My airport experience went smoothly, and I have Easyjet to thank for the seamless flight. However, I attribute the overall safe journey to God, giving Him all the glory.

Upon arriving on the reservation my friend made, there was a booking issue that required me to wait for my friend to arrive and resolve it. She managed to resolve it even before she arrived, and we went back to the hotel to rest and refresh. Later that night, we wanted to explore Dublin and see what the city had to offer. I was excited for the fun we had visiting Cafe En Seine, a suggestion from a friend who lives in Dublin and joined us there. After a good night out, he drove us back to our hotel to ensure we got in safely. However, the night manager, Gabriella, stopped us to ask for our room number, which we provided. Despite explaining that the person with us wasn't staying in the hotel, she became even more angry and insisted that he leave the property. She also demanded that both of us pay for staying in the room we had already booked.

We told her that we had already paid and everything was settled; we had checked in earlier. However, she continued to insist that we needed to pay. This confusion arose because she wasn't listening to us. Eventually, we managed to show her the reservation, which she refused to look at, but then she said it was booked for only one guest, even though we had already checked in.

Despite our protests and attempts to clarify the situation, she remained adamant and accused us of lying. She even threatened to ask us to leave the hotel. We were surprised and frustrated by her refusal to let us sleep in the room we had paid for. My friend became angry and told her to stop making unnecessary statements. That's when she threatened to call the police on us, accusing us of trying to sneak a guy into our hotel room, escalating the situation further.

My friends became furious with her and asserted that she had no right to threaten us with the police. We had all our documents in order, and she was simply being rude and unreasonable. Despite our objections, she gave us two options: either pay an extra fee and breakfast or wait for the police to arrive. We chose to wait for the police.

In an attempt to resolve the issue, my friend suggested that if she didn't want to allow me inside the hotel, she would stay alone while I went to her friend's house to sleep, and in the morning we would sort out the issue. She refused and said both I and my friend could not go into the room we paid for. She also refused us from taking our things from the room.

We were taken aback when, despite having paid for our hotel room, we were denied access to it, even at 3 in the morning. The night manager called the hotel guards to prevent us from entering. One of the guards expressed disappointment in her behavior and advised us to remain calm, highlighting her unpleasant demeanor. Her disrespectful treatment of the guards, as if they were her subordinates, left a poor impression. When another guest was entering, she abruptly demanded their room number and then instructed them to come to the front desk to speak with her.

This woman appeared intoxicated with power. She went to the extent of suggesting that we had hearing problems and required hearing aids, which caught us off guard. I couldn't discern if her behavior stemmed from racial animosity or if she was simply a troubled individual in a position of authority.

My friend's friend thought that offering an apology might smooth things over. Yet, the moment he apologized, she became even more hostile. My friend also tried to ease the tension by apologizing, attempting to understand if Gabriella, the night manager, was having a rough day or if there was a misunderstanding. However, she remained firm, asserting her sole authority. Growing frustrated, my friend's friend raised his voice, labeling her as unreasonable. Meanwhile, my friend, Ebube, was getting angry. We had a confirmed booking, and it was clear that Gabriella was being wicked.

She even asked the security guard to deactivate our room cards. She demanded that we pay for breakfast, which we declined, leading to her insisting that we leave the hotel altogether.

 
In the end, we had no choice but to go to my friend's friend's house to spend the night. We did not want this to affect our little big trip, so we decided to relax, listen to music, and try to forget the ordeal. Despite not sleeping in the room we paid for, we managed to find joy.

The following day, we phoned ahead before heading to the hotel. We were invited to meet with the day manager, who calmly discussed the incident with us and apologized. Thankfully, everything was resolved, and we were able to enjoy the rest of our stay without any further issues.

As for my encounter with Gabriella, words can't fully capture the experience. However, one thing that stood out to me was how we handled the situation. Later that day, while chilling in the room with my friend, I played some music and reflected on how much we've grown. In the past, we might have refused to budge until our rights were acknowledged, but now we're more inclined to let things slide. There are always going to be unhappy people like Gabriella out there, but we didn't let her steal our joy. I genuinely hope she finds peace.

Special thanks to the morning manager and the front desk staff, who eventually resolved the issue and apologized for the inconvenience.

While sitting in the lobby the next day with my friend's brother, a lady approached us, introducing herself as another manager at the hotel. She expressed her desire to understand what happened. However, after explaining the situation, she insisted on speaking with the person who made the booking, stating she couldn't discuss matters with me since the booking wasn't in my name. This didn't sit well with me. Initially, she came off as defensive, which discouraged my friend's brother from engaging in conversation, as he felt it wouldn't lead anywhere. Later, my friend Ebube spoke to her. 

During our time in the lobby and conversing with her, we saw that others who had booked a stay at the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel in Dublin also faced challenges with the front desk staff. It's clear the hotel has serious issues with staff behavior and needs to invest in better training to resolve such issues. This lack of adequate training reflects poorly on the establishment.

Anyway, that's the story of my weekend from last week. All glory to God, who always makes everything beautiful in its time. How about your weekend?

Enliven Extreme Blue Hair Gel 250 ml Review

Well, I'll just get straight to the point about the Enliven 250 ml Extreme Blue Hair Gel. If you're looking for a hard hair gel that holds your hair too firmly, then this isn't the gel for you. However, if you're seeking a light hold that won't make your hair feel like it's coated in gel and still maintains a natural look as if you haven't used gel at all, then this is it. It offers a light hold that keeps your hair together and in place throughout the day.

I was returning from work and needed gel, so I just grabbed what the store had.

According to the instructions, the best way to use it is on wet hair, applied evenly throughout. 

I apply it before heading to work every day, and it serves as a protective barrier against dust and dirt. What's remarkable is that it doesn't weigh my hair down; unlike some gels that leave a heavy feeling, this one keeps my hair feeling light and natural even after prolonged wear. I absolutely love this hair gel; it provides excellent hold, doesn't leave any residue like some gel does, and washes out effortlessly.

I absolutely love this hair gel! Despite its extreme hold label, it doesn't stiffen my hair aggressively; instead, it maintains a comfortable hold without making my hair feel rigid. Even after applying, my hair remains soft and manageable. Using it daily hasn't caused any damage to my hair; in fact, it seems to have a conditioning effect. When I wash it off at the end of the day, my hair feels noticeably smoother.

Great lunch experience at Joel's Restaurant in Dublin

I had a fun time at a cozy restaurant with my friend. Dublin is such a cool place to visit, and what I really liked about it is how tidy everything is. Let me tell you about this restaurant called Joel's that we went to for a big lunch. It's close to our hotel, so we freshened up and headed there.

I made sure to dress nicely, but my friend had a little mishap with her outfit. When we walked in, everyone seemed dressed up, and my friend joked that she should've dressed better. We couldn't help but laugh because we could feel everyone's eyes on us, especially with my attention-grabbing Afro hair.

Summer Scent Essentials: 4 Zara Perfumes for Every Season

Not every perfume is suitable for summer; some scents are stronger and can overwhelm, leaving people stressed and offended. Growing up, we had what we called "Aboki perfume" - strong, overpowering scents that filled a room, making it hard to breathe and causing discomfort. If you're in the habit of wearing such, consider lighter options that still smell nice and are more accommodating. Before purchasing, check reviews or do a test. Today, I'll share summer-appropriate perfumes, highly recommended ones like two Zara perfumes:

1. NUDE BOUQUET Eau de Parfum: This fragrance combines vibrant yuzu freshness with a delicate white floral bouquet, featuring notes of cherry, peony, and vanilla. It offers long-lasting wear and is a budget-friendly alternative to Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet. It uplifts your mood, suits all seasons, and strikes a perfect balance between heaviness and lightness. Plus, it comes in an adorable box.

2. Violent Blossom: This perfume is charmingly lovely and has a simple yet captivating scent. It's sweet, warm, cozy, and a bit floral, with hints of Tonka and cherry. Its long-lasting nature makes it a delightful choice. With a simple design and a uniquely alluring scent, it evolves into an irresistibly good fragrance as it dries down.

3. Zara Woman Fruity Eau de Toilette: This perfume offers a refreshing and fruity scent that is perfect for the warmer months of summer. With its lively and vibrant notes, it brings a sense of energy and brightness to any day. Additionally, its fruity aroma can also be uplifting during the cooler days of spring and add a touch of freshness to the crisp air of winter.

4. Zara Man Silver Eau de Toilette: This fragrance features a blend of citrus and woody notes, making it a versatile option that transitions well between seasons. The citrus top notes provide a refreshing burst ideal for summer, while the woody undertones add warmth and depth that complement the cooler temperatures of winter. In spring, its balanced combination of freshness and richness makes it a timeless choice.

Have you tried any of these perfumes? Let me know in the comment section below.

How to prevent or treat Dog Bite

Millions of people are bitten by dogs every year. What should you do if it happens to you?

The United States sees more than 4.5 million dog bites every year. Most of these incidents are not caused by an unfamiliar dog attacking someone in a park or other outdoor location, despite your assumption. The majority of dog bites are caused by a pet dog in a home. This article provides advice on how to avoid these distressing and potentially serious injuries, as well as the steps to take if you are attacked by a dog.

What is the cause of dog bites?

When people wrestle or play tug-of-war with their dog, there are dog bites that happen by accident. Dogs bite people most often when they feel stressed, threatened, scared, or startled, as per the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Dog bites are more common in children, and they are more prone to serious injuries than adults.

People don't always pay attention to the behavioral signals that a dog is uncomfortable, says Dr. Christopher Baugh, associate professor of emergency medicine at Harvard Medical School. Some dogs are extremely territorial and will bark, growl, snap, and lunge if someone enters their space, whether it's an apartment, yard, or crate. Dogs may display resource guarding, which can result in anxious and aggressive behavior around food, toys, or beds. 

According to the doctor, these situations can be high-risk, and children are particularly prone to not being aware of that risk.

What steps can you take to prevent dog bites?

According to the AVMA, dogs, even those that are sweet and cuddly, can bite if provoked. Young children playing with a dog should be supervised by an adult. Encourage children to refrain from disturbing a dog while it's eating, sleeping, or caring for puppies. 

In a study of 321 facial dog bites treated at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital over a 20-year period, 88% of the bites were from known dogs. The majority were adults who had interacted with the dog through play, feeding, and facial contact. But according to Dr. Baugh, the hand—typically the dominant hand—is most likely the most often bitten area with an adult dog.

The following are some more recommendations from the CDC to avoid dog bites:

• It is always polite to ask permission before petting a dog, even if it seems friendly.
• Before you pet the dog, be sure it has seen and smelled you.
• Petting a dog who appears to be hiding, afraid, ill, or furious is not advised.

What happens if a strange dog comes up for you? Keep your cool and avoid making eye contact with the dog. Say "no" or "go home" in a deep, forceful voice while facing the dog with your side of the body facing it. Either move slowly away or wait for the dog to retreat.

In the event that a dog bites you, what should you do?
After giving the wound a quick wash with warm water and mild soap, wrap it in a fresh bandage or a piece of cloth. Using an antibiotic cream or ointment is advised by several internet sources. But according to the American Academy of Dermatology, these medications should only be used by those who have obvious signs of an infection, such as redness, pus, discomfort, swelling, or warmth.

Visit the emergency department if there is significant blood, a bite wound to the face, or a probable shattered bone. This is also a smart move in the unlikely event that you require medication to prevent rabies (rabies post-exposure prophylaxis) after being bitten by an unfamiliar or stray dog.

It's common for people to feel shocked after being bitten and focus solely on their wound, according to Dr. Baugh. The owner of the dog might stop by to see how you're doing and then go. However, he advises getting the person's contact details and confirming that the dog has received a rabies vaccination.

Remember that:

• If the injury doesn't need to be treated right away, an urgent care facility is a better choice because emergency rooms are frequently packed and have lengthy wait times.
• Stitches are needed for certain wounds, preferably within 12 to 24 hours.
• In order to avoid infections, the doctor might prescribe antibiotics, particularly if you have diabetes or other health issues that compromise your immune system.
• If it has been ten years since you got a tetanus booster, you might also require one. You will receive a tetanus booster just in case, if your vaccination history isn't available or you can't recall.

What happens when a dog bite is less serious?

Imagine that you have received a less serious bite from a relative who is known to have a current rabies vaccine. Bites that don't require stitches can be cleaned with mild soap and running water, then evaluated by your regular health care provider. They may advise you to monitor the wound for signs of infection.

Doctors are making an effort to be more thoughtful about prescribing antibiotics and limiting their use in low-risk situations, as overuse of antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistance and exposure to potential side effects without any benefit. Baugh.

My encounter with a drunken man holding a Bull Terrier inside the train at night.

Last Thursday, I reluctantly boarded the underground train, eager to get home quickly despite my aversion to it. As usual, I found the train to be disgustingly dirty. Sitting uncomfortably on the edge of a seat, I decided to immerse myself in my phone to avoid acknowledging the unsanitary surroundings. However, my attempt to distract myself was interrupted when the train stopped at another station, and the door opened after some passengers disembarked and boarded other coaches.

A man aggressively pounded on the door of our coach, causing it to open. He entered, accompanied by a large Bull Terrier dog, clearly intoxicated. Feeling uneasy, I promptly vacated my seat and moved to the back where two other passengers were seated. They soon alighted, leaving me alone with the drunk man and his dog.

Throughout the journey, this man was talking to his restless dog. Consequently, they missed their intended stop, prolonging the discomforting situation. What exacerbated my unease was when, before exiting, the man directed a vulgar gesture towards me with his hand. I couldn't shake off the fear that he might unleash the dog on me.

This incident left me deeply unsettled, reflecting on how some individuals exploit animals as weapons to intimidate others, masquerading it as pet ownership. Dogs like Bull Terrier, in such circumstances, cease to be companions but become potential threats. It's alarming how someone visibly unfit to handle such responsibility is permitted to possess and wield control over such a wild animal. 

I already called my friend to stay on the phone with me, and after I got off the train, she made a reassuring statement. She said, "Your angels will not let the dog bite you." I found comfort in her words  as I walked home.

The other day at the train station, I sat down waiting for the train when a teenager started vaping near me. I politely asked him to refrain from smoking close to me. He moved to the next seat.

What frustrated me even more was the blatant disregard for the "no smoking or vaping" signs, wondering why such behavior is overlooked by those monitoring the cameras. It's disheartening.

On another occasion, as I was about to board the train, I encountered a situation that deeply unsettled me. A girl struggled to control a large pit bull, which attempted to grab the bag I was holding. This incident left me feeling frightened and angry, casting a shadow over my day.

I've never been fond of dogs, stemming from childhood experiences where I was chased by them. The fear intensified when a neighbor's daughter was injured in a similar incident. Pit bulls, in particular, evoke fear due to reports of aggression and attacks.

On Saturday, TMZ reported that a man died after a pit bull attack at his home, enduring a slow and painful final few minutes of life as he was mauled by his own canines, according to officials.

Irvine Times also shared footage depicting a disturbance and a dog-on-dog attack on High Street. The distressing video shows what appears to be an XL Bully-type dog attacking another dog, biting its neck.

The BBC news reported a separate incident where a family dog bit a teenage girl on the leg at home in Darfield, Barnsley. The 17-year-old suffered deep wounds and was subsequently taken to the hospital for treatment.

CBS News reported that a tragic incident occurred in Connecticut, where a 1-year-old boy lost his life after being bitten by a dog. This heartbreaking event marks the second fatality of a young child due to a dog attack in the United States this week.

I've come across the absurd notion online that dogs are superior to humans, a belief I vehemently oppose. It seems only those with a skewed perspective would endorse such an idea. While opinions may vary, I firmly believe that laws should be enacted to protect individuals from the dangers posed by unrestrained animals masquerading as pets and drunk people carrying wild animals around. It's time for the government to take action to safeguard public safety against such risks.

While writing this article, I came across a website that has a list of dogs that should not be kept as pets and the reasons why. In my opinion, none should be kept as pets. 

God still answers prayers; do not forget to ask Him

When everything seems awry, I turn to God. He's always in the business of working wonders. I've realized that it's essential to share my testimony whenever I receive answers to my prayers. Sometimes, amidst life's challenges, we tend to overlook the power of prayer for the smallest things. Instead, we rely solely on our knowledge, teachings, or skills. However, putting our faith in God can yield far greater results. Even when our faith wavers, it's important to remember the teachings, like those in Matthew 7 of the Bible.

Matthew 7:7-8 King James Version

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened

My parents instilled in me the belief that prayer is the ultimate key, and I can attest that when we pray sincerely, God sees our hearts and responds. As Matthew 17:20 in the King James Version states, faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains.

I recall a time when I had a workable target to meet. Initially, I attempted to achieve it through my own efforts, but I fell short. However, after praying to God, I not only met the target the next day but repeated the success. God has bestowed upon us the privilege to communicate with Him through prayer. His nature remains unchanged; He desires us to ask, and He will answer.

Even during times of distress, when praying seems arduous or we lack the desire, I believe God eagerly waits for us to reach out. Prayer truly unlocks doors to the impossible. With unwavering faith, I've experienced remarkable outcomes. Though challenges may arise, persistent prayer yields triumph.

Indeed, prayer possesses the power to transform any circumstance or emotion. It serves as the conduit between us and God, enabling us to receive His blessings. Let's not forget the importance of prayer amidst life's hustle and bustle.

God is still in the business of answering his children and doing great things. Do not forget to pray!

Always remember these verses

1 John 5:14

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

Jeremiah 33:3

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

Important read: 34 BIBLE VERSES THAT REMIND US THAT PRAYER IS THE KEY

What to do to have a better day at work

I listened to a story about a nurse who narrated her experience of nearly being implicated in someone's death. The person died naturally, but the doctor who came to check on the patient got angry when the door wasn't opened promptly, accusing the staff of delaying him for 10 minutes. Initially, he was rude to the nurse and demanded to file a complaint. The nurse went to find the form for him and informed her manager of the situation. When the manager asked to speak to the doctor, he rudely refused. The doctor's behavior escalated to the point where he called the police, claiming he suspected foul play in the death.

Contrary to the doctor's claims, the nurse wasn't in the room when the resident died; she had just arrived for her shift when the family called her to check on the deceased. When the police arrived, the doctor refused to return to the care home. They interviewed the nurse, but found no evidence of foul play. The deceased had been expected to pass away that week, and the family had been visiting regularly.

This incident nearly damaged the nurse's career until it was determined that the person died of natural causes. The doctor's anger over a 10-minute delay at the door caused unnecessary distress.

Before heading to work, remember that you'll encounter individuals from diverse backgrounds. Avoid hastily judging them based on their outward appearance or apparent kindness, as it may be superficial. Be mindful of your words and actions, focusing on your tasks. Honestly, in my opinion, genuine friendships are rare in workplace environments, especially in countries like the UK, where people often smile as part of social decorum rather than a genuine connection.

34 Bible verses that remind us that prayer is the key

In times of trouble, we may find ourselves weak in prayer, but we should always remember that prayer is key and that God has given us all we need to pray to Him and receive help in times of need. Remember what a privilege it is to carry everything to God in prayer.

1 John 5:14:

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.

Jeremiah 33:3:

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

James 5:14-16:

Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.

Matthew 21:22:

And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.

Psalm 23:1-6:

A Psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 

Luke 4:4:

And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’”

Matthew 6:33:

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Matthew 6:9:

Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.

Matthew 6:1-34:

“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 


Revelation 1:1-3:22:

The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth.

James 5:1-20:

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. ...

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

Clear Vision and Style: Firmoo Eyewear Review

Hi beautiful people. It has been a while since I shared any eyeglasses review with you all, but I promise you will love these.

For years, I've had to use my laptop almost every day. I had a slow and annoying laptop that I've now replaced. However, this led me to spend so much time on tasks that should have been completed quickly, spending many hours on the screen. I finally decided it was time for me to change that and start using reading glasses and blue light glasses.

When I wanted to get my glasses, I had many options to choose from, but one thing I had in mind was that I wanted two pairs, and I got what I wanted.

Have you ever gotten any glasses from Firmoo? Well, I have, and I must say the quality of their glasses are really something to talk about. They got it all right, and there's a good reason for that.

Let me share with you two of my glasses that have been game-changers.

Fight Summer Body Odor: Top Deodorants and Products to Stay Fresh

Summer is coming, and people are excited about it, but there are people who forget about the summer preparations needed to make summer a pleasant season for everyone. I am talking about summer essentials. We need to make sure we have a beautiful summer, smelling nice and good, protecting our skin and looking good, and letting other people breathe well. So I will just break this post down into different categories: body, skin, and skin protection. 

During the summer, it's really important to take care of yourself. As a teenager or an adult, you'll sweat more when it's hot. This can sometimes make you smell a bit. I don't want to disappoint you, but most natural deodorants might not work as well during the summer months. And I do not mean to burst your bubble; there are very few organic deodorants that do the magic in the summer. In winter, you can use organic deodorants, and they might work for you, but in summer, organic isn't the best. From experience, I have not used organic deodorants that keep the armpit sweating away, so if you want to smell good and let others breathe in the summer, then you need to use a good 48-hour deodorant. So the question is: What are the best deodorants for summer? I am sharing what I have used that has worked for me, but note that to also help any deodorants work excellently, shaving your armpit would be great. 

Having hair in your armpits during the summer might not be ideal. It doesn't really help, and the combination of hair and deodorant can sometimes block the sweat glands, leading to increased sweating. Shaving your armpits can help reduce this issue and improve the effectiveness of your deodorant.

Regarding sunscreen:

Using sunscreen is essential year-round, not just in summer. However, some sunscreens can feel oily and make you sweat, causing discomfort and even staining your clothes. Consider using Calypso Sun Clear Protect Dry Oil Spray Sunscreen. This sunscreen dries up immediately after application and has a pleasant scent, making it a great choice for daily use.

To prevent shoe odors in the summer:

1. Make sure to wash your shoes regularly, especially after prolonged use.

2. Air out your shoes frequently to prevent moisture buildup.

3. Use shoe sprays specifically designed to prevent odors.

4. Apply powder to your feet before wearing shoes to absorb moisture.

5. Spray deodorant on your feet to keep them smelling fresh.

6. Note that using deodorant inside stinky shoes may temporarily cover up the smell but won't provide a lasting solution. Instead, consider using rubbing alcohol as a spray. Pour some rubbing alcohol into a spray bottle and mist the interior of your shoes. The alcohol will kill bacteria and eliminate odors as it dries, leaving your shoes smelling fresh.

Here are some summer hygiene and grooming tips to keep you feeling fresh and confident:

1. Foot Hygiene:

   - Wash your feet thoroughly during your bath, paying attention to the spaces between your toes.

8. Menstrual Period Hygiene:

In hot weather, wearing sanitary pads for long periods can lead to odor. To stay fresh and clean, it's a good idea to change them regularly. Switching to breathable organic cotton pads can help, as materials like plastic can trap heat and moisture, reducing airflow to the vagina. Organic pads, are soft and comfortable against delicate areas. So, opting for cotton pads is a great solution. They allow air circulation, are gentle on the skin, and reduce the risk of bacterial infections. Make sure to check the absorbency level (flow number) of sanitary pads to avoid stains.
