How often do you wash your towel? Some people wash once a week, while some, once a year. The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut. No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut). Worse still, most people keep towels in the bathroom (near the toilet). Every flush of the toilet sends mist with millions of microbes, ranging from H.pylori, salmonella and other deadly bacteria and viruses. When you wash your hands ready for a meal, and dry them with your body towel, there's high chance you are directly ingesting your fecal matter, or, if in a shared lavatory, someone else's faeces. Unless cleaned well, viruses such as human papillomavirus (causes warts, anal cancer and cervical cancer) can be transmitted when towels are shared with infected individuals. So, what to do? 1. Launder towels once a week. 2. Use hot water and det...
I’m pretty sure everyone would be wondering what
then they should do on their first dates, especially
after reading 9 don’ts on your first date .
Well, if there are don’ts there ought to be do’s too,
and at Elcrema we don’t give half-baked articles; we
take it to the full.
There are some basic things we ought to do on a
first date; like I said in the previous article, first
dates are special and most times people ruin it
without knowing; guess that ends today.
Share in the fun as I bring you 9 do’s on your first
date
1. BE COMFORTABLE
Don’t be restless, don’t be uneasy, just relax and feel
at home. When you are uncomfortable, you make
the environment hostile and that makes the date
futile. But when you are easy and comfortable, your
date would feel at ease too, would feel that peace
within and would be eager to have another date with
you. So the ball is in your court; which option would
you take?
2. PUT ON A SMILING FACE
Naturally, a smiling face would make people
attracted to you and a frowned face would put
people off. So if you want your date to be attracted
to you then you just have to put on a smiling face
and your date would love you the more. A smiling
face would make your date feel at ease with you and
would probably even want something more special
than an ordinary date.
3. BE ROMANTIC
Don’t be too shy to be romantic on your first date
and mind you, by romantic I don’t mean flirt. Set her
chair for her, clean a crumb on his cheek; just do
stuffs that show you notice him/her. But you just
have to be original and spontaneous if possible.
4. GIVE ALL YOUR ATTENTION
Don’t be distracted on your first date; first dates
pass a whole lot of message and being distracted is
not a good message to pass on. If I take a lady out
on a date and she gets distracted way too easily, no
matter how beautiful she is there won’t be a second
date. If you want to be on a date then be on a date,
if you don’t want to be on a date then stay at home.
Don’t ruin someone’s emotion because of your
lackluster attitude.
5. GIVE COMPLIMENTS
Now, this is important. If she dresses good,
compliment her outfit; if you love his jacket, tell him
you do; if his perfume is cool, compliment it; if you
love her bag, tell her you do; if her hair is beautiful,
tell her it’s beautiful; if he has a good smile, tell him
you like his smile. Complimenting your date would
make your date happy and it would lighten the mood.
But don’t give a compliment you don’t mean, it just
might spoil the whole thing.
6. BE LIVELY
When I was in college, I took a girl out on a date and
she gave me just one condition to go on a date with
me; she wanted to spend only an hour; I obliged. We
did the date and for whatsoever reason I was in a
lively mood and she probably was too. We ended up
spending three hours and we didn’t even know; I had
to be a gentleman and remind her that it was getting
late (but inside me I wanted the date to go on).
That’s one of the best first dates I’ve ever had; it
was very lively. The key to an amazing first date is;
BE LIVELY.
7. BE SWEET
Now this tip is categorically for females. You don’t
know how guys love it when you act sweet. From
your looks to your dressing, the way you talk, your
smile and everything you do just gets to the guy and
he would like you even the more. Be generous with
your smile; don’t be shy to blush. Let me tell you a
secret, guys love it when ladies blush; so just feel
free and that guy may end up booking a million
loads of dates with you.
8. BE THE MAN
Now this is for the guys, when you take a lady out
on a date, be the man; show that you are man
enough for her. By being man enough, I don’t mean
spend lavishly on her, no. Now let me give another
secret; the simple things are what every lady adores.
Open the door for her, call her to know if she’s
home, stop a cab for her, tell her you enjoyed the
date and would always want another date with her;
and while on the date be friendly, be lively. Those
simple things would definitely keep her in awe of
you.
9. BE REAL
This is one mistake people make on first dates.
Don’t try to be a Will Smith or a Genevieve Nnaji just
to make a good first date; that’s faking. Just be you,
be original, don’t practice anything, just go there and
have fun. To me, this is the best advice to give
anyone on the first date – BE ORIGINAL.
How I so love first dates; it’s thrilling; no other date
can be compared to a first date with someone you
admire. These tips above would most definitely
make your first date adorable.
