THE FIRST ITEMS I BUY WHEN I GET PAID

Elizabethokondiaries.blogspot.com

Good news! Last week Thursday I got paid. Even though my salary is so low, at least it is better than doing nothing or staying idle all day at home or being broke. So, since I came back from Bauchi State, I have been working as a teacher. And I love it because it gives me enough time, besides education was what I studied in the university. Each time I get my pay. The first thing I do is getting my personal stuff. Yesterday I was at the market purchasing items I would use. The first items I buy when I get my salary are;

  1. Sanitary pad. Now, pads are so expensive and I go for the not expensive ones. I use Molped Sanitary Pad.
  2. Tissue paper
  3. Toothpaste. I use Oral B toothpaste. So far it's been good.
  4. Body cream. I am not so much into organic creams. The cream I use on my body is Vaseline. Fressia Perfumed Petroleum Jelly. 
  5. Bathing soap. I use Fresh Glow which contains turmeric and sandalwood.
  6. Body spray
  7. Detergents and laundry soap
  8. Face powder
These are the items I buy. And I love it because it is very affordable. I try as much as possible to escape debt. So I buy what I can afford and when I have cash at hand. Instead of using organic body cream on my skin, I use Vaseline and take more fruit and water. I take plenty water so it clears my skin and keeps me hydrated. About food and shelter, I stay with my parents. Fortunately, I have the privilege of eating free meals. I don't pay rent. And they don't request for money from me either. So my money goes to self-care, data subscription and doing what I want with it. This is the advantage of being single. If I were married, I probably won't be having all the free times and money to myself. I probably would have been somewhere crying or complaining to man to take care of me. Cheers to a single life and freedom!

BY LOVING YOURSELF, YOU LOVE OTHERS

So it's been four months since I started working in a school in Calabar that has forty years of existence. A really old school whose facilities need maintenance. Chairs damaged, laboratory decay and everything in there looks so old. Then I wondered, what am I doing here? And I realized that I needed experience. I wanted to leave home so long as it is for learning. I learned. I saw how mismanagement can cause serious damage to a school. I saw how not treating teachers well or paying them on time could be a danger to school business. Especially changing teachers every time in school or teachers leaving a school due to ill treatment.  By loving yourself, you love others. When you love yourself, it becomes so easy to love others. It becomes easy to love your staff and pay them on time. It becomes so easy to treat people well. Elizabeth Diaries ❤️

Dear Diary, I come with so much to tell. I will tell you everything as I am your faithful girlfriend. Growing up, I had trust issues. I barely trusted my parents, so I couldn't trust anyone. I grew up to see the mess my father's bad friends and company brought us into. My father had many frienemies, not friends. They laughed, smiled, ate with him, squandered his money, but said badly of him at his absence. His friends never loved him, he was only used. His frienemies made decisions for him in his own home. My father never took my mother's advice. He said my mother was an illiterate. So, he clinged to his friends. He wasted half of his wealth on his friends and their dubious lives. My father's weakness was trusting people so much and giving his whole life to them. He never loved us, he gave all his love to strangers and neglected his family. They used him, they blackmailed him, they abused him, they messed him up. We as his family were part of the whole mess. This wa
