 Maintaining a healthy lifestyle...



Being busy does not make it an excuse for us to eat junk food all the time, our body need good nourishment to keep up with the business we keep it in. We need to consume enough nutrients to sustain the energy we need in our busy schedules. A bit of exercise and most importantly hydrating our body, is much needed as it helps our brains and reduces fatigue because sometimes we just don't get enough rest.


Here are a few tips that can be taken into consideration.:

1. Try by all means to have a cooked meal instead of living off of junk, fatty fast foods/take-aways.

If you get busy to a point where cooking on a daily basis might not be an option for you, the consider making meal preps on  Sunday or when you have a free day that will last you for at least 4-5 days that you can easily that warm up and dish it up. Try to include vegetables in your meals.

2. Try have a fruit or a health snack while busy studying or working on a task at work

 This is because your brain has sufficient nutrients and energy to keep you refreshed so that you can work for longer without getting tired quickly. Avoid consuming too much fizzy drinks and energy drinks because too much caffeine is not good for the body.

3.Drink as much water as possible on a daily busy.

Water keep you hydrated and is good in helping you brain function to the best of its ability.

4. Try to stay active

You do not have to go to the gym to stay active. Simply taking stairs instead of the lift/escalator at school/work is part of keeping fit and staying active. Avoid sitting on the chair the whole day because the body needs enough circulation of blood which can be done through movements.


Lets remember to take care of our body because wee need it to carry us through the business of our schedules. Lets stay healthy, hydrated and energized💦💧😇!


Love and light

As the academic year comes to an end...

Reflecting on this last semester... As the academic year comes to an end, most of us are filled with fear of the unknown, anxiety, stress, anxiousness and maybe joy that the year is finally coming to end because we can all agree that a break from academics  is much needed. Some may be stressed about examination preparations and some look forward to working harder to scoop those distinctions that they have longed for since the beginning the semester. A few tips: Try by all means to start studying now for you examinations, preparing early makes it way much easier for you when the exam season begins.

Maintaining a balance between 'me time' and 'academics'.

Maintaining a balance between 'me time' and 'academics':  How does one strike a balance between academics and self-care when school gets one so busy? ACADEMICS SOCIAL LIFE These are some of the things that have worked well for me... 1. Make time for yourself too, it's important for your mental health and wellbeing. It is very important for one to always make time for their personal life outside from being a student. You do not want to find yourself miserable and missing out on enjoying life outside from school, so make time for yourself by going to the salon to get your hair done and taking a walk around campus or your neighborhood and most importantly make time for your family as they can be your greatest support system during difficult times such as exam or test periods. 2. Make time for socializing and avoid locking yourself in your room all the time. After chasing those assignment deadlines and during preparation of tests and exams, go out with friends and do so...
