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...
A wedding is a once in a lifetime event; so, it’s
good to have everything in order so you would
enjoy the memories that follow.
There are some wedding mistakes that you
should be wary of.
1. CHOOSING A FRIEND OVER A PRO
This is a common wedding day mistake that many
people make. You might have a friend who’s a DJ,
a photographer or a caterer. Because they are
your friends, you would be tempted to choose
them. However, this doesn’t go down well in
many cases. So many friends become so
unprofessional about their services, and there is
nothing you could do about it at that time.
2. SPENDING THE MONEY BUDGETED FOR
FASHION ON JUST THE DRESS
This is a common wedding mistake women make.
It’s good to have a budget for your wedding; this
keeps you in check. If you have money budgeted
for fashion, don’t get tempted to spend the
money on just your wedding dress alone.
Remember that there is also makeup, your hair,
accessories and shoes to contend with.
3. NOT HIRING A VIDEOGRAPHER
Photos are good but you would want that day to
be saved in video too. There are a lot of things
you would miss during your wedding, and
playing it over again on video would save you
special memories. If you can afford this, then
don’t leave it out.
4. STARTING YOUR MAKEUP LATE
Makeup takes time, and when it’s on your ‘D day’,
it takes more time. Starting your make-up late
could make you behind schedule for your
wedding, and you might end up rushing things.
This is a common mistake you should avoid.
5. SENDING OUT CARDS BEFORE PLANNING
Don’t be in a hurry to tell everyone about your
wedding or start giving out cards for your
wedding without planning on the kind of wedding
you want, the hall to be used and the number of
guests that you should invite.
Avoid these common wedding day mistakes and
enjoy the time of your life.
