Hiiii everyone. I’m sorry it’s taken me this long to post anything. I’ve been busy trying to speed up my project (laziness solves nothing honestly 😪) but that can’t stop me. This blog is like my baby, I think about it everyday 😊.

So today, I’m going to talk about 5 things you’re probably most likely doing wrong and don’t even know. Let’s get to it, shall we?

1. Earphone placement.

We usually just wear our earphones directly. Just insert it in, right? Actually, that’s wrong. It’s not supposed to be placed like that. It should be circled round the ear and placed in upside down. I bet I’m not making sense 😂.

Does it make sense now 😏? I actually do it the incorrect way because the correct way is so hard 😭. Knowledge is power though, right 😊?

2. Amount of toothpaste.

I see most people, literally everyday apply toothpaste on their toothbrushes and they fill it from top to bottom because if the brush is that long, the toothpaste should fill it, right? Wrong. You’re actually supposed to use a pea sized amount of toothpaste to brush your teeth.

Running water over toothpaste also reduces the effectiveness of fluoride in the paste so it’s best not to. You’re actually supposed to brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes and not rinse after brushing or at least rinse just a little bit. Why, you ask? So the fluoride in the paste can actually work on your teeth.

Oh and one more teeth tip, don’t use mouthwash immediately after you brush. It washes away the fluoride, use it at a different time if you use mouthwash. Knowledge can be amazing though.

This I can actually say I’ve been doing since I discovered too much was too much, heh 😏.

3. Washing ‘private parts’.

When it comes to washing down under, for males it’s easy for you lot. You just need to wash with soap everyday, emphasis on ‘everyday’, thank you. But for females, it’s a little less simple. For our vulvas (yeah, vulva is the outer area, vagina is the inner so say vulva, you’re welcome 😏) we can use soap but it can not be perfumed, it has to be mild and plain and it can’t be antiseptic as well. So many rules. Why? Sometimes these soaps offset the natural pH of the vagina (yes the vagina is acidic) which can lead to infections. Water is best for the vulva actually and don’t fret, the vagina cleans itself 😊.

This I’ve been doing as well since I discovered it. I hadn’t been affected by using soap but prevention, they say is better than cure.

4. Pooping properly.

Yup, there’s actually a proper way to empty your bowels and it’s not the way we know. It’s by squatting. Let me explain. Back then, in the ancient times, before toilets were invented, there was nothing so humans would squat to relieve themselves so basically it’s part of our makeup. Squatting actually makes it easier to poop. So a way to do this is by placing your feet on a stool when using the toilet. I have tried this and it actually really works! But I have to warn you that it’s really very uncomfortable on a toilet seat 😅.

5. Proper sleeping positions.

How good you sleep usually affects your day more often than not and apparently your sleeping positions have something to do with that. Every sleeping position has its pros and cons but there’s one position that has practically no pro- sleeping on your tummy.

The best sleeping positions are sleeping on your back and on your side. If you snore or suffer from sleep apnea (a condition that causes periods of breathlessness), sleeping on your back isn’t advised. If you have sleep apnea, chronic back pain or you’re pregnant, sleeping on your side is best but two major cons though, it causes wrinkles and makes breast sag. Honestly I’m going to learn how to start sleeping on my back, those are two things I definitely don’t want.

Well, I’m done and I hope you learnt something or 5 things 😊 from this. Please like or comment or both if you liked this.

See you on my next blog post. Byeee ❤️.
