Coffee with Temmi

Where were you at midnight of 31st December 1999?It’s been 25 years since the world held its collective breath on that night. People prayed, panicked, and prepared for what they thought would be the end of the digital world. But when the clocks struck midnight — nothing happened. The lights stayed on. Planes didn’t fall.

We’re talking creams, serums, facials, treatments - each promising the kind of skin that’ll make you feel unstoppable.But here’s the thing… are we really buying better skin, or are we buying self-esteem? And if confidence has a price tag, what are we actually paying?Today, I’m looking at the skin industry through the eyes of a skin specialist, Bukky Eyinade, and we’re going to talk about what’s really going on beneath the surface.”

“Why am I not married?”It’s a question so many women have asked—and have been asked—over and over again. It’s gotten to the point where the idea that a woman could actually be happy without a husband isn’t even part of the conversation.For a lot of women, the thought of never getting married feels scary. Almost like something is wrong if it doesn’t happen.But here’s something worth asking:“Do I actually want to be married?”Not should I be… not when will I be… but do I really want it?It’s a different kind of question—and it might lead to a very different kind of answer..

Let’s talk about virginity.The word itself simply means untouched, unused — in its raw form. But when we talk about virgins, we’re usually not talking about olive oil or hair.

Stretch yourself into joy.

SHE RISESShe walks through fire, yet bears no ash,With silent strength and steady sash.The world may bend, the winds may roar,Still she stands—then rises more.Her tears are rivers—soft, yet deep,Where dreams and promises dare sleep.She weaves her pain into a song,And sings it bold, and sings it strong.With hands that heal, with hearts that fight,She holds the dark, then births the light.Not made of glass, but steel and grace,The battle carved upon her face.She bends, but never breaks apartThe thunder echoes in her heart.A mountain moving through the storm,A thousand voices in one form.So here’s to her—the quiet flame,Who burns with love, and not for fame.The world may try to write her end—But she begins. And then, again.
