About Me

Hi, welcome to my blog! I'm Mercy, I just turned 18 and I wish to stay at that age for more years to come. Sometimes I think I was born in another era, a new aged girl with an old soul. I can be quirky in my own little ways. I like pastel colors, minimalism, floral, tropical prints and vintage things. I enjoy exploring new bakery shops while reading a book. I believe in being kind to strangers and that anyone whatever shape or size has a story to tell. I have mine and this is my only beginning.

I started blogging in early year of 2017 and realized that this kind of hobby isn't as easy as it looks, specially working full-time as a Social Media Director for a brand called Simbae and also Kainda lifestyle, which is family business owned by TAJA Global. I help these brands built their appearance through online, blogging in the hand, is my other way to express my knowledge and to share them with whom ever is reading them.

I believe that you must bring your whole self to the table if you want to thrive in today’s crazy world; your personality, your sense of humour, and most importantly, your heart. All of these elements brought me to be inspired to create Diary of Mercy J. and to share my thoughts to my tiny space on the internet.

I guess that’s pretty much it! Everything else you can learn about me by clicking through these pages. There's a story in everyday, you just have to wait and see.

The Benefits of Deep Breathing to the Body

Image
There is so much more to breathing then most people realize. There are two methods of breathing, which are breathing from the chest and breathing from the diaphragm. For those who do not know this, the diaphragm is a muscle that is located in the lower abdominal area. We are generally taught to breath from our chests but this results in irregular, shallow breathing that is slow and causes carbon dioxide to leave the lungs too quickly which can create more tension in both the body and the mind. Diaphragm breathing is healthier and more beneficial to the body. In this case breathing is even and consistent and more breaths are taken in and can be breathed deeper into the lungs, which is a good thing. Deep breathing does not just involve the lungs but also the lower rib-cage, the back and the stomach. Diaphragm breathing creates a response from the nervous system that is called the "relaxation response" for the simple fact that it allows the body to calm and to become relaxe

What I Did to Tone Down My Thighs

First thing first,  you got to do the Slim Thigh Test. Before you start whining about having a big thigh or whatever, you need to establish whether or not you have big thigh muscles  or a lot of thigh fat . Understand the difference girls, To do the Slim Thigh Test you have to  Straighten your leg, you can do so by sitting on a flat surface, I suggest on the floor.  Tighten your thigh muscles, squeeze  really tight but not at the point where you end up having crumps afterwards.  Pinch the top layer of fat and skin of the thigh, you will see this the minute you  squeeze  your  squeeze  and stretch  your leg at the same time.  If there is much to pinch , then fat is making your thighs big and you’ll also probably suffer with cellulite.  If there is little to pinch , you have large thigh muscles and little fat and will have little cellulite, if any.

Being Overweight is a Learned Habit - Not by Choice

It is remarkable to find how many people eat out of boredom, sheer habit, at least, that's what my friends and I do. Many  pressure  to the habit of eating at a "minute" diner, fast food restaurant or lunch counter, gulping their food and running a "hoof and mouth" race with Father Time. (He always wins.) Others are trained from childhood to stuff themselves - " finish your plate ” I personally grew up with the family who believe to not leave the table non unless your plate is shiny af. Like literally legit, I'm not allowed to leave the table unless I finish my plate and not only that, I have to taste and eat every food my mother put on the table, it can't be just a little bit of that, a little bit of this. NO! that is a big no-no to my family. You seriously have to grab a spoon full of every dish that is prepared and serve in the table. There's no punishment if you don't finish your plate whatsoever, but, whoever didn't finsih
