WHAT IS YOUR FRAGRANCE?

Preamble

I recently discovered that prior to the last post, I spent more than two weeks away from the blog and I suspect that my recent practice of taking up series has made me a bit forgetful when I take single topics. I also think that because of the attention I paid to a series on my podcast, I decided to go on an undisclosed hiatus.

Anyway, bygones are bygones. This month will most likely be filled with series but before I announce the upcoming series, let’s take today’s topic.

It had a different name but on meditation, the name change.

Without extra words, let’s dive into today’s topic.

WHAT ARE YOU SMELLING OF?

There are different types of smells. Depending on preference and strength of perception, people react differently to different smells according to preferences.

There was a particular kind of perfume I once smelt that was horrible but according the wearer of the perfume it was a beloved smell.

The way we smell can give an insight to what you are comfortable with. It can also tell your personality.

I for one do not like strong fragrance

What do people perceive of you when they come in contact with you?

What impressions do you give?

To put this straight, it is difficult to build a healthy life based on what people think of you, however it is important to know what your presence communicates to others.

Personally, I have dealt with certain impressions about myself from others especially with those who have never taken time to interact with but conclude from afar. However, I do not disregard everything I hear. I still put some into consideration.

Still doing a lot of work

CREATING YOUR FRAGRANCE

This particular fragrance comes from inside and not outside.

It emanates from the person within you.

Check the previous post

It consists of who are, what you think about yourself, and how it affects all your relationships.

I’ll list some of the ways you can create your fragrance:

• By amassing knowledge in the direction of who you want to be

• By acting on them

• By repeating the cycle

What were you expecting me to write?

The way you talk, relate with others, your sense of reasoning, interests, principles and value creates your unique fragrance.

You can be a copycat though

This brings me to ask: What are you known for?

You don’t have to be a celebrity to answer the question

Then to another question: What are you influencing?

Then to another question: What is one positive description about you that has remained consistent?

You can answer the negative one after

This one is unrelated but I still want to ask it: Do you smell nice, bad or neutral?

I hope you use deodorants

THE GOD FRAGRANCE

As a Christian, my belief plays a principal role in my life. It is the guideline for all of my life pattern. My relationship with the Holy Spirit is my navigator through the guidelines.

I always reflect through the above mentioned and therefore I am sure interested and invested in my fragrance.

Not a diehard fan of strong perfumes but I am an avid supporter of smelling nice

The way I smell spiritually matters to God and to the ministry God has placed in my hands. I cannot afford to be careless about my lifestyle or the decisions I make.

My life is a testimony that should continue as a testimony.

I did not get it cheap. I got it as a priceless gift

I am a gift that should give gifts to others and the gifts I should give should be healthy and full of life.

And the one person that can keep me supplied is the Holy Spirit

WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING TO DO?

About how you smell.

Physically and Spiritually

Inward and outward matter. A bad character on an amazingly perfumed body still stinks.

A good character accompanied by body odour still stinks.

Both ways are important.

An encouragement to be clean inwardly and outwardly

YOU SMELL NICE 😏😏(LOW BUDGET LIFE 1: How to smell nice on budget📃)

PREAMBLE

It looks like this preamble is becoming a thing for me 😂😂, though this is the second time I am using it 😒

🦃🦃

I want to tell you a secret 😶😶

I have not yet bought a purse 😂😂😂😂

If you dont understand, go check the post VINTAGE and VINTAGE 2. You would understand when you are done there 😂😂.

Am a low budget being and sometimes I dont even understand myself and why I like the things I do, why I do some things I do. I am learning to just accept my existence and its process of processing things and environment.

Another secret 😦😧..shhhh

Kopi 🍵

This is the newest post I have written down. I have a one year old topic that is still waiting in the queue. Am sure if they could beat me, they would 😒😒. Just that this topic was on my mind but then, something spurred it to come to life now.

This post still has some more secrets 😂😂

Beebee

TO THE MAIN TOPIC👒👒

😌😌

Twitter has become one of the most sarcastic platform for individuals who are so gifted with words. I find sarcasm funny, though there is a borderline I dont appreciate and cross but sometimes it just adds spice to conversations especially when the other party would not take offence.

Now, a lot of humans dont know where to share some personal experiences and fail to share what should have been private or within close relationships. They bare their information to the public, hoping to be sided or encouraged. Unfournately, social media is not friendly and Twitter is becoming more tough.

I dont use twitter that much, I actually dont participate. Used to but dont know how to use it like others. 13 followers, following 16 😂😂. So I get most of the gist from instagram 🙄🙄

Some weeks ago, a story about a certain interviewer who bashed the interviewed for commenting on her scent, went viral. She actually talked about it on social media and the response was not positive🤒🤒

I somehow tried to understand her but her approach was rude and telling it to public was not so necessary and a bit impolite to the interviewed.

To her defence, I would say: I may not have been comfortable too because it was an official meeting in which certain languages may have been held at bay. Also facial and body language may have not been well accepted.

In this case, it would have been better if she had stated politely she did not appreciate such comment at that moment without really having to run down the individual or maybe a simple thank you would have not been bad.

So many memes were made, adding more humour to the whole issue.

Nigerians were created to be funny 😂🇳🇬

🐹🐹

Okay.. . Let me move down to telling you how to smell nice without necessarily buying perfume🙊💩

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I laughed first because am laughing inside.

Before I continue, let me tell you another secret. Cooking is an emotional and thoughtful process for me. I take 30 minutes to an hour to make noodles and as usual, I make strange noodles 😂😂

noodled

I just distracted you, forgive me 😶😶

Lets continue

Now to smell nice, there are very simple habits and things you need to do. These regular habits will help you maintain a nice body smell even without using perfumes.

I have not had perfume for some time now and actually, I rarely get perfume. Mainly because I have not gotten what appeals me or they are expensive for me and I rather buy food 🙄🙄

So if you are like me and you need to know how I still dont smell, then good for you 😂😂

Steps

• Bath twice a day or more if you can. Using soaps that have nice fragrance is a big plus. Antiseptic soaps usually have refreshing smell and is a good start. Use sponge too 🙃🙃
• Use deodorants. Plese to keep your armpits at bay, having deodorant is not an option especially if you have not shaved the bush under your arm (try and do that). In tropucal West Africa, the heat is not very friendly and so you may not be able to avoid sweating. It is good to pick good deodorant and if most possible, the ones with nice fragrance
• Use petroleum jelly that is scented. Discovered this a year or two years ago. These variation of petroleum jelly are interesting and I find them pleasing. The first I discovered was FRESSIA🌿
• If you can, use creams that have nice smells. Cocoa butter is really very nice 😊😊.
• And then, brush your teeth! !😂😂

I did not give any magic recipe. These are simple hygiene tips. Perfume is just an extra.

I find it really unpleasant that some people spray nice perfumes on their unkempt bodies, only using the sent as a cover up 😒😒. You cannot hide forever though, your secret would be revealed😶😶

Maintain a good hygiene then perfume follows after and if you suffer from body odor you may want to see a doctor for that. Dont be quick to use perfumes to cover up.

Resolve issues first, rather trying to cover it up. Some issues should never be covered up, they will only hinder growth 🌿🌿

All time favourite deodorant brand and this fragrance is very pleasant

Not fressia but this has a nice fragrance too 😁😁

💝💝

😍😍

Hopefully, THIS TH!NG CALLED CHEMISTRY will have its season finale next post 😂😂. If you have been following, thank you! ! If you haven’t read it all, you could check it. ..Comments and thoughts are appreciated😊😊

This, hopefully would not be a long series 😂😂
