“It's not very easy to grow up into a woman. We are always taught, almost bombarded, with ideals of what we should be at every age in our lives: "This is what you should wear at age twenty", "That is what you must act like at age twenty-five", "This is what you should be doing when you are seventeen." But amidst all the many voices that bark all these orders and set all of these ideals for girls today, there lacks the voice of assurance. There is no comfort and assurance. I want to be able to say, that there are four things admirable for a woman to be, at any age! Whether you are four or forty-four or nineteen! It's always wonderful to be elegant, it's always fashionable to have grace, it's always glamorous to be brave, and it's always important to own a delectable perfume! Yes, wearing a beautiful fragrance is in style at any age!”
The past week, I had the privilege to
be invited to a great and very educational event at Posh Nails in BGC which was
hosted by naFlora. From the get go, I wasn't quite aware of what was going to
happen but after the program... can I just say that I learned so much vital
information that I, as a woman, didn't know but how to. We had a lovely
speaker who was a specialist in OB-Gyn and granted that THAT was her area of
expertise, she was definitely the best person to consult and learn insight
from. Her presentation and talk was entertaining and was not the usual
"lecture" type as she was able to explain the importance of knowing
that at certain ages, we need different kinds of feminine wash concentrations
to maintain a healthy pH balance in every girl's private part. Well aside
from that, she also explained some tips on how to take care of your body and on
how certain lifestyles (ie., drinking, stress, smoking, medications) can have an
effect on your reproductive system. She also debunked certain tips that we,
being a very superstitious race, tend to believe in because that was what their
grandmother's grandmother who said so. I am shocked how little people knew and
how they have certain beliefs which are not only unhealthy but potentially
dangerous. At my age (I am 27 years old), I am knowledgeable in human anatomy
specifically the reproductive organ of a woman... however, I also realized that
there was so much more I needed to learn which is why I am thankful that I was
able to get some expert advice from a specialist.
