Top 5 Physical Activities or Exercises

Leave a comment

What are your favorite physical activities or exercises?

  • Walking is by far my favourite. It’s a mode of transportation, you can do it with your dog, friends or family. You can switch pace by running or your can increase intensity depending on the landscape and it’s generally free
  • Swimming. I love water and being in the water is always so relaxing to me. I also like the fact that there are different places you can swim and the experience is so unique in each from seawater swimming to warm chlorine swimming, it’s all great.
  • Dancing. I’m not very good at it but it can be a lot of fun. All you need is the right amount of wine, level of music and the right people to encourage you.
  • I will give an honourable mention to strength training. It’s not my favourite but as I move deeper in my fitness journey I know that aerobics alone are not enough you need a little weight so kettle bell for the win.
  • Yoga. It encompasses mindful movement of my body and relaxation of my mind. I used to have backache but yoga really helped me heal and it also helped me with my outlook on life. To quote Adriene Mishler and end this post “Find what feels good”

Nose Rings – An Intro to the Settle Down Selections

Leave a comment

So I just spent this morning reading a Twitter thread about why Zimbabwean men would never marry a woman with a nose ring. I will give a few of the justifications that were “given”

1. Those nose piercings and tattoos are a symbolic statement of a certain belief like satanism

2. Lol I use to say that…Learnt the hard way…She can be a good person clubbing hard, but that does not mean you should marry her. You will raise the kids in the club.

3. Yes, l think it’s high time Zim men have an open mind when it comes to women. A nose ring does not mean she is a whore, in church there are sometimes women without nose rings and they are whoring like crazy! 🤣

4. It’s associated with the street and wildness (or most people who used to do it were for the streets). So it gives us nerves and fear as if we took a whore for a wife. Otherwise it shouldn’t be a thing.

5. I personally wouldn’t. Im sure some of them are great people but the ones I knew who were into that were very wild and loose…The stereotype unfortunately stuck.

6. That’s a sign that she belongs to the streets…

7. Nope,no tattoos,no drinking….🚩🚩 Most definitely no smoking

8. Nose ring signifies potent cock sucking skills so no for me

9. I want it as bad as earrings, but I’m not a whore. I will wait till after marriage then do it

10. Would you be comfortable to introduce her to your mother? If the answer is yes, go ahead.

If this is our mindset on nose rings and we have not even touched on religion, politics, class or family values pray tell how are we going settle down?

Thoughts?
