I forgot to post this. Ill be going home to Nigeria on the 13th of December and wont be back until January. I was wary at first but like Thomas said, im getting more and more excited. Im still kinda wary because i realised i need a new wardrobe. yah, basically. I realised like a few days ago that we do not wear tennis shoes and T-shirts back home. i have to buy a few pairs of sandals, some tank tops, shorts, mini skirts and spaghetti tops (umm scratch that. i would be r-rated with my boobs).
Anyhoo, Im going to stop buying jackets, turtle necks and sweaters for now. Im going to buy like a bulk gift for everyone. Not sure what ima buy yet. im also thinking of leaving the gift buying to my mom. I dont have money to spend on anyone. I might just give away some new stuff i bought that still have tags on them. Probably get some perfumes and makeup. No clothes or shoes cos i dont know anyone’s size and thats too much trouble.
Im hoping we’ll go to Abeokuta where we can climb the Olumo Rock. I might have to start a to-buy list. I have a mini to-buy list on my BB pearl at the moment.
Ugh. i have a headache now. I had one last night and i went to bed at 10 
. I took some headache pills earlier and i started feeling nauseous (sp) a few mins later. Then i took cafergot and threw up like 5 minutes later. I dunno if the drug is in my system. I hope it has.
Wow, i havent been posting personal stuff much. Ive been busy with school. I stabbed classes on wednesday. I dont feel guilty at all because i needed it.
Umm i was going to keep writing but i totally forgot what to write and im chatting with wiggs and we both talk a lot so ima just continue this later. ciao

MY BODY USAGES & TIPS
Facial Scrub and Body Exfoliant
Are you a fan of the self-tan? Before applying products that give you a ‘glow’, give yourself an invigorating, yet gentle, facial and body scrub with Baking Soda. Removing dead skin cells will leave your skin soft and smooth, perfect before application. Make a paste of 3 parts Baking Soda to 1 part water. Rub in a gentle circular motion to exfoliate the skin. Rinse clean. Gentle enough for daily use!
Hair Care
For locks that rock, remember to shake it. Sprinkle a small amount (quarter-size) of Baking Soda into your palm along with your favorite shampoo. Shampoo as usual and rinse thoroughly. The Baking Soda helps remove the residue that styling products leave behind so your hair is cleaner and more manageable.
Refreshing Bath Soak
Taking a bath is so last year…until now! Add 1/2 cup of Baking Soda to your bath to neutralize acids on the skin and help wash away oil and perspiration. Your skin will feel silky smooth, and it’s a great way to get away from it all.
Soothing Foot Soak
Here’s a great way to start your home pedicure. Dissolve 3 tablespoons of Baking Soda in a basin of warm water and soak feet. Gently scrub with a paste of Baking Soda. The hardest part is deciding which color nail polish you’ll use this week!
Mouth Cleaning
Clean up your mouth! * Use Baking Soda to help keep teeth clean and white! Sprinkle some Baking Soda into your palm, dip in your damp brush, and clean those pearly whites. For a smile that’s Cleaner, Whiter, Fresher try Oral Care products with the proven cleaning power of Baking Soda.
*Baking Soda does not contain the anti-cavity ingredient fluoride. Use it where water is fluorinated or when a non-fluoride toothpaste is desired for adult use or as directed by your dentist or physician.
Mouth Freshening
Bad breath keeping you tight-lipped? Open up for Baking Soda. Put one teaspoon in half a glass of water, swish, spit and rinse. Odors are neutralized – not just covered up- so get ready to pucker up!
Deodorize Retainers
Minimize the "oh gross" factor by cleaning and freshening retainers and mouth-guards with Baking Soda. Soak after every use in a solution of 2 teaspoons Baking Soda and warm water. Every so often, brush them clean with a paste of Baking Soda. That’ll keep everyone smiling!
Antacid
Spicy food is yummy until it bothers the tummy. Baking Soda is a safe and effective antacid to relieve heartburn, sour stomach and/or acid indigestion, when used as directed. Always refer to the Baking Soda package for instructions. Learn more about how Baking Soda works as an antacid.
Hand Cleanser
Give yourself a hand with Baking Soda. Forget the harsh soaps and gently scrub away ground-in dirt and neutralize odors on hands with a paste of 3 parts Baking Soda to 1 part water, or 3 parts Baking Soda to your liquid hand soap. Then rinse clean. Your skin will feel softer too!
Clean Brushes and Combs
For lustrous hair with more shine, keep brushes and combs clean. Remove natural oil build-up and hair product residue by soaking combs and brushes in a solution of 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda in a small basin of warm water. Rinse and allow to dry.
Deodorant
A quick pit stop. Dust Baking Soda under arms as needed to feel fresh all day. The magic of Baking Soda actually absorbs odors instead of just covering them up. For wetness and deodorization protection, try ULTRAMAX Deodorant Antiperspirant.

Well, im doing my own research because i dont want to make the same mistake i made by just getting on depo without looking into it. Someone that was on depo and also bled a lot metioned that alesse help reduce the bleeding and spotting so im looking into that. This website is very helpful:
http://www.wdxcyber.com/ncontr13.htm
so far, here are the side effects of alesse –
depression, moodiness or irritability, headaches, breast soreness and weight gain (im very worried about this)
Another one im looking at is YAZ. This BCP is also used to treat PMS which is a good thing. These are the side effects:
·nausea and vomiting;
·breast tenderness or enlargement, enlargement of uterine fibroids;
·swelling of your hands or feet;
·darkened skin, especially on your face;
·changes in your menstrual periods;
·headache, migraine, dizziness, or fainting;
·problems with contact lenses;
·vaginal yeast infections
·depression.
Im also looking at IUDS. Specifically the one with hormones (mirena). the side effects are:
•breakthrough bleeding, spotting, or irregular menstrual cycle
•cramping, dizziness, or faintness while the device is inserted
I got my period at the end of september and it didnt stop until maybe 2 days ago? Im used to this…this is what depo does and this isnt the first time it has happened. But im tired of this. Im trying to get an appointment with the doctor to get a pap smear. The thing is, its not advisable to do a pap smear while on the period (im not even sure if i wont start bleeding again) and i think they have to do it before one get get on BC?
Anyway, im going to talk to the doctor about it and see if they can start me with a BC method that will help reduce the bleeding. Im trying to stay calm about this and idont want to freak out. Im anemic and i think ive waited too long before going to the doctor.
I also hope the depo hasnt damaged anything yet. its the fucking devil
