The Beauty of Being Clean

I’ve come to dislike the popular phrase “Dirty no dey kill person” and I tend to look at people who say this in a certain way. As long as we cannot eliminate germs 100% but we can keep them at bay by taking precautionary measures. I wish people could understand that being clean and living a healthy life shouldn’t be done out of compulsion or to fulfill all righteousness but with the intention to be clean and to live a healthy life, for themselves and nobody else. Once you understand how germs work and how they affect our health, you’ll appreciate the importance of hygiene. We are not saying you should become a germaphobe overnight, no, we are simply saying you should put in the work instead of being careless with your health and your environment. Over time, I have discovered so many hacks that keep me clean and my environment tidy and fresh. To start with, washing my hands regularly. The importance of washing hands cannot be overemphasized.  We move around daily, touching surfaces, handling public objects, shaking people, exchanging cash, and doing so many activities that expose us to various bacteria. While we can’t see these bacteria with our eyes, these creatures are always ready to strike. Washing your hands daily would save you from a lot. Again. I try my best to avoid littering my environment. I see littering as a criminal offence and someone in the corner is waiting to arrest me if I try as much as conceive the thought.  When you litter, you attract pests, you contaminate the environment, and make it unsafe for people which is very wrong. No matter how big the waste is, I try my best to hold it until I find a waste bin. When I see people litter, the first thing that comes to my head is how they were so bold to do it without feeling embarrassed. However you want to look at it, littering isn’t just bad but very very embarrassing. How do you just throw biscuit wraps on the floor carelessly? Wearing clean clothes. No matter how lazy and exhausted I am, I’ll always do my laundry. Repeating clothes over and over again until they are visibly dirty is gross. Most people believe they can wear their clothes up to three to four times without it smelling badly. I keep telling people that stinking clothes do not determine if a cloth is clean or not. Do not use the smell of your clothes to determine if your clothes are clean or not.  People move around wearing expensive perfumes to cover their dirty and stinky clothes, which is really disgusting. Wash your clothes regularly and dry them properly. In conclusion, being dirty and unkempt is absurd. People naturally gravitate to clean people. You can do all the skin care routines in this world and wear the most expensive perfume but if you are dirty you are dirty, so change! _{All images are mine except otherwise stated.} **Thanks for stopping by** **Loads of Love🥰🥰** **XOXO**
