Hi everyone. I will be talking on how to manage your money today.
How do you feel when you don't have enough money to spend?
How often do you buy items you can't really afford?
How often do you buy something you don't need just because it is on sale?
Does it seem that you never have quite enough money to spend? If you could get your hands on more, you could buy those shoes you want. If only your salary was higher....
Rather than fret about the money you don't have, why not learn to manage the money that does pass through your hands? You could wait till you leave home to learn how to manage money. But think,would yyou jump out of an aircraft without first learning how to use a parachute? True, a person might be able to figure it all out while hurtling to the earth. How much better, though, if he learned the basic principles of using the devices before jumping out the door!
Similarly, the best time for you to learn to manage money is while you're at home, before the harsh financial realities of confront you. "Money is for protection", wrote King Solomon. (Ecclesiastes 7:12) But money will protect you only if you learn how to control your spending. Doing so will boost your confidence and will increase your respect.
RESPECT MONEY- DON'T LOVE IT
In the hands of a skilled chef, a sharp knife is a useful tool. But the same knife in the hands of someone inexperienced or inattentive can cause serious harm. Money is like a sharp knife. Don't you think so? If you are not careful, you can get hurt! Learn to use money skillfully. Respect it, but don't love it!
LEARN THE BASICS
Do you know how much it takes to maintain a home? Buying food and the rest of them. A wise man once said that what makes a rich man is not the amount of money he has but the one he saves. Come to think of it. If you don't save, how will you grow rich? To be able to be a good manager of your money, you must be able to save no matter how little. Learn to discipline yourself. When your self control and discipline has gone high tlyou can then take yourself on a treat but within your budget.
A budget is a very essential thing if you want to become an expert money manager. Money managing isn't a skill that will not be benefial to you. It will benefit you at the long run. How you might ask. Okay, let's take it in this point of view. As a married woman, when given a token amount for household items, you will be able to utilize it fully having excess in some cases. By so doing, your husband will consider you an asset not a liability.
As a married man, you will be able to apportion money for different uses in the house without you running into debt.
As a youth, you will be able to have money at your disposal for important undertakings. Not when you are in a dire need of money you start running helther skelter to get it. It will also help you to live a godly life. Are you beginning to see my point?
First, keep a record of the money you have or received.
Then, make a budget by listing all your income and expenditures. By this, you will know when your expenditure exceeds your income and where to adjust.
Adjust your habit. If you're spending more than you anticipated on some items and are accumulating debts, adjust your spending habits. Pay your debts. Stay in control.
Money can be a useful servant if it is properly used. In fact, in most cultures, making and managing money is an important part of life. But try to keep a balanced attitude. "Money has its place, but it is not everything". It should never be put ahead of our family or God.
If you have a problem of managing money and loving it, do down on your knees and ask God in heaven to liberate you and help you because He is our present help in times of trouble.
If you have any question concerning how to manage you money, I will readily be of help. All you have to send your question and it will be answered.
This is a blog about something I like and that I think will be benefial to you, either in the area of sport, entertainment, education, etc.I created this blog out of my passion to write. Stay posted to reading anything and everything I like.

RESEARCH FINDINDS AND INVENTIONS.
1). SCIENTISTS DISCOVER A PLANET MADE COMPLETELY OF DIAMONDS
Astronauts have spotted an exotic planet that seems to be made of diamonds racing around a tiny star. The planet is probably the remnant of a once big star that has lost its outer layoto "pulsar star" in its orbit. In addition to carbon found on the planet, it is also likely to contain oxygen which may be prevalent at the surface and hopefully conducive for human habitation. The planet is said to be worth a whopping $79 nonillion which is a total number of thirty zeros.
2).CREATION OF A MAMMAL ENTIRELY FROM A STEM CELL.
Researchers at Kyoto university created a mouse from a stem cell only. The achievement shows the remarkable possibilities presented by regenerative technologies such as stem cells. It also brings a question to mind about a potential future whereby human births may not require parents. Can that be possible?
3). FIRST ANIMAL EATING PLANT.
An exotic sheep eating plant which has earned its name because it literally kills and eats sheep or goats, has blossomed for the first time at The Royal Horticultural Society Garden in The United Kingdom. The plant known scientifically as 'puya chitensis' has been at the garden for fifteen years, and has reached a height of ten feet with a razor sharp hook shaped spines. It uses the spines to ensnare the sheep and other small animals, after which the animal is left to starve to death,and its decomposed body nourishes the plant, acting as a very vital and powerful nourishing fertilizer.
4). ELECTRICITY IMPLANT IN MAN TO BOOST PERFORMANCE.
The boundaries that separate man from machine continually dissolves as scientists continue to make head way in their course to better mankind in more ways than one. In September, a new class of implantable electronics that can carry out a designated task anywhere, from a few hours to several weeks before disappearing completely once it serves its purpose. The potential applications of this technology dubbed"transient electronics" by its creator John Rogers, are many and run in various varieties from vanishing biological implants to environmental friendly phones.

World Malaria Day
 |
| Malaria, plasmodium in the form that enters human and other vertebrates from the saliva of female mosquitoes (a sporazoite) traverses the cytoplasm of a mosquito midgut epithelial cell. Did you know that The World Health Organization (WHO) set aside the 26th of April for malaria awareness. Yes, that is right. Not everybody knows what malaria is and how to treat it. So, thanks to WHO. I will try to explain in a lay mans language how I understand malaria and how best to tackle them. Make sure to pass on the information to friends and families. Malaria is a mosquito- borne infectious disease of humans and other animals caused by parasitic protozoans (a type of unicellular microorganism) of the genus Plasmodium. Commonly, the disease is transmitted by a bite from an infected female Anopheles mosquito, which introduces the organisms from its saliva into a person's circulatory system. In the blood, the parasites travel to the liver to mature and reproduce. Symptoms of malaria includes fever, headache, and vomitting, and usually appear between 10 and 15 days after the mosquito bite. If not treated, malaria can quickly become life- threatening by disrupting the blood supply to vital organs. In many parts of the world, the patasites have developed resistance to a number of malaria medicines. Malaria is common in tropical qnd subtropical regions because raunfall, warm temperatures, and stagnant waters provide an envirinment ideal for mosquito larvae. |
 |
| To prevent malaria, treated net must be used. |
Pregnant women should try as much as possible to sleep under treated nets because malaria can affect their unborn child. Clean your gutter daily, empty your waste bin, do not leave your food opened, drain all stangnant water, and make sure your septic tank is covered properly. In case of any symptoms, do not hesitate to go to your doctor for a thorough check up. Also dont prescribe drugs for yourself. It can be dangerous to both tour health and that of your unborn child.
Prevention is bettwr than cure.
Live right! Live safe!
Till I come your way again, I remain my humble self Christiana Joseph.
Make sure to create awareness of malaria to people. You can also direct them to this site, and you never know, you might just save a life.

Fashion
Turbans are both an expression of glamour and a way to keep the hair in check. They appeared in the West in the 17th century, where they were imported from North Africa and the Middle East whose exotic styles have inspired European imagination for centuries.
In the 1930s, the turban became a symbol of well-educated, well-travelled western women, such as the Swedish-born film icon Greta Garbo, who was famous not only in Hollywood, but also around the world.
British royalty are known for matching their hats to the occasion. Queen Elizabeth II wore a turban rather than crown on her tour of the Western Isles in 1996.
Quotable quotes
I thought about what to write and all that came to mind was this- 'quotable quotes'. As my blog is about everything and anything that i think will be beneficial to you, i came up with this.
Have there been a point in your life where you were sick of your weakness, where you were about to throw in the towel? Well here are some quotes that will lift your morals and spirit up to the point of achieving greatest. Though I don't know their author but I hope it will serve its purpose.
QUOTABLE QUOTES
-All achievement starts from daring to begin.
-Everything big starts little. Try to determine your worth, don't let others do it for you.
-No one on the face of this earth can make you inferior without your permion.
-Discover your talent and calling. Believe you can make and so shall it be.
-Study the lives of successful people.
-Meditate on your strength and ability and learn to encourage yourself.
-Decide to be the best you can be. Don't compare yourself with anyone.
-Don't allow your short comings or failure to weigh you down. Neglect them.
-Depression begins with a paralyzed mind so free yourself from all negatives thoughts.
-We lose because we told ourselves we lost.
-The key to failure is trying to please everyone.
-It is attitude not aptitude that determines your altitude.
-If you want to succeed in any area of your life, you have to have a dream and plans to reach that dream.
-If you can not develop a dream for your future, you then can not plan for the future which certainly means you have no goal in life. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Love Story
Why Does Love Hurt?
Have you ever been in love before? What did it feel like? You must have felt like the happiest human on planet earth. Yea, that's love.
I have felt that way one certain time. I am not talking about crush 'cos everyone must have had a crush on someone sometime. That is a sure one. Well, I didn't really know what love was till I met this man, Joseph. He came to me in the name of the Lord and I was like waoh! Earlier on, I had. Prayed for a God sent. A man from God as a life partner.
I didn't really accept him until after 2 years, though he was always on my mind. I wanted to be with him from the start but I was too timid to break the relationship I was in and claim him as my parcel/gift.
When I finally broke the tie, I accepted him. The funniest thing is that he was waiting for me. When I finally accepted him, I was the happiest woman in earth. There was this joy I felt in me just knowing I had him. I was so magnificent that I could have done anything just to be with him and have him by my side. It was like heaven on earth. You must have been there if not try experiencing it. It is worth it.
Things didn't really stay cosy. We started experiencing problems that lovers encounter, but ours was beyond limit. The sweet feeling I had from the beginning started decipating gradually and I felt like l had lost him. The love of my life. I needed his attention but he was too busy to give it. He needed my submission but I was too hurt to obey. Like a child's play communication was cut down to once in a blue moon. I was not happy. I guess he wasn't either. I thought maybe I should lay my cards on the table and beg him to come back to me. Can love hurt this much? I ask myself. I pain I feel within me is more than any physical injury. I don't enjoy any other company cos I yearn for his.(sigh). We have become familiar strangers. So pathetic isn't it?
I want the man I fell in love with. The man whose smile is entrancing. I could stare at him forever. I could tell him anything and bare my very soul to hi.
'Oh life! What have you done with my love? Why have you taken him from me? Oh my love where are you? Please come back to my awaiting heart. Please come home.
Have you ever felt this frustrated or been in this situation before? Write and tell your experience and how you overcame it. If you are still faced with such problem like myself, stay tuned to read the response of others.
Yours friend, Christiana Joseph.

I want the man I fell in love with. The man whose smile is entrancing. I could stare at him forever. I could tell him anything and bare my very soul to hi.
'Oh life! What have you done with my love? Why have you taken him from me? Oh my love where are you? Please come back to my awaiting heart. Please come home.
Have you ever felt this frustrated or been in this situation before? Write and tell your experience and how you overcame it. If you are still faced with such problem like myself, stay tuned to read the response of others.
Yours friend, Christiana Joseph.

The Search For Ultimate Beauty.
What we define as beauty changes with each generation, each new phase of fashion and what seems accepted by society. Often times we hear of extreme cases like the story of Claudia Aderotimi who died from getting'butt shot' in her already 'shot up' butt, or the story of the Downes sisters who faced jail time for using stolen credit card details to pay for boob jobs costing around $4000 each. Yes, these are extreme cases and not everyone can be Cindy Jackson, who holds the Guinness world record for the most plastic surgeries done. This raises a question how far can women go in search for 'ultimate beauty'?
Men aren't exactly exempt from this search either and with the popularity of surgeries such as the height lengthening one, some men are turning to this expensive, painful procedure to be that tall, dark and handsome guy that most women dream of. However, this article focuses on the search for ultimate beautyaamong women because we are the ones who seems to forever be on that treasure hunt.
When you look around you, you will notice the different variations but yet similar versions of human hair, adorn our women today, or the attempt to be slightly lighter or 'toned' as they say. Crash diets and shape altering garments are among our best sellers even with local vendors selling traditional remedies for'quick' weight loss. Do not get me wrong. U believe in looking and feeling good. What I often wonder is 'who defines what beauty is today and what are women searching for'?
Most young ladies today are more confident in their looks when they have long silky and bouncy hair with the body measurement of a Barbie doll. Very few ladies are embracing their unique looks that they were created with and would do almost anything to look different. It's one thing to look like a better version of you through healthy eating and exercising butaattempting to look like a counterfeit version of someone else is a bit disturbing. In our society, the cheapest and most popular way of altering our looks is through skin lightening procedures. It is said that 77% of Nigerian women use skin-lightening products, which means something is wrong somewhere and our women aren't embracing their bodies.
I personally admire women who can rock their natural looks and be confident in who they are because even though media
Puts a lot of empemphasis on looks, it is the beauty from within that remains most important. To be honest, the world would be quite boring if we all looked the sane. We would be talking about the Tyrant forehead, the Omotola figure, the Jolie lips or how Nse Ikpe Etim's smile keeps us captivated.
There is no need searching for that perfect look because it really is what you see in the mirror, with all its imperfections, the ultimate beauty we seek is not what is defined by magazine cover but by what us in the inside which reflects unto the outside. So ladies let's stop searching for that ultimate beauty and embrace who we are, the original!
