Child sexual exploitation is a type of sexual abuse. The children in exploitative situations and relationships would normally receive gifts, money or affection as a result of performing sexual activities or others performing sexual activities on them.

Safi Shayla Shampoo and Conditioner review...

For most modern day women, beauty is a priority.. after all, let’s admit it, we live in a kinda superficial world, sad to say, where people tend to judge you for your looks… at least most of the time.. first impression counts when you meet someone for the first time.. and how you look is also important for landing a job, a project, a date, etc…. and it goes the same way for personal hygiene, from overall cleanliness, hair, etc…

We have to keep ourselves looking the best we can… and sometimes, just having to keep our hair beautiful can also be a costly affair…. A trip to the salon can be quite costly.. and well.. with the stressors of life, as well as our lifestyle, we have different hair and with that, different hair problems or issues…

Getting over my fear of needles for the sake of beauty

If you told me I would be injecting myself two days, or more ago, I would have told you you were stark raving mad… No 1, I am so terrified of needles, and I have got into countless arguments with the nurses when I was pregnant every time I had to get jabbed and I was just so super stressed when I had dengue and was subjected to blood tests…

ko

When the doctors or nurses told me having an injection was definitely less painful then even childbirth, I retaliated and told them how did they like someone stabbing them there as childbirth was natural and cannot be helped.. childish, and not my best moments but….. hahahah, that was me, and that was how deep my fear of needles was..
