In often times i am been asked the difference between Love and lust... I did some research and i mean extreme practical findings. So I came out with the following 8 point Olodo #1 HOW YOU THINK ABOUT THEM One of the main ways to tell whether it's lust or love is to examine how you think about their body, When you think about your crush, are you thinking about their body? Do you find your thoughts wandering to their curves or other attractive features, rather than their personality? If so, it's probably lust Olodo #2  YOU WANT TO GET STRAIGHT TO IT When you hang out with the person, are you trying to hook up with them as quickly as possible? Or is deep conversation more important to you? If you feel like you want to talk, then that means the emotional connection is more important than the physical one. It's love you're feeling.

The Silent Killer - Must Know Warning Signs of Ovarian Cancer. Ovarian cancer is a frightening and potentially lethal cancer that effects women, especially older women. It’s one of the more common cancers, as well—in 2012, 152,000 women died from ovarian cancer. One of the most frightening aspects about ovarian cancer is that it often has no symptoms early on—yet early detection is important, because if you catch it early enough, doctors have a very high success rate at treating you. While there is no “magic bullet” symptom, there are some common symptoms that you should look for. If these symptoms don’t have an obvious cause, going to see your doctor is probably a very good idea. #1 - Back pain There are obviously many possible sources for back pain, including simple muscle sprains and arthritis. However, if you have back pain that begins to worsen over time, and you simply cannot find a cause, it could be an early warning sign for ovarian cancer. At the very least, if ther

9 Reasons You Should Stop Chasing After Your Crush So, you have a crush. It makes you as crazy as it makes you happy. One moment you think all hope is lost, and then there’s that one text message that means it’s back on. You scheme and you plot (because we all do it) on how to play the game. You vent about hating the game, but we all know that if we were truly as forward as we’d like to be, it would seem far crazier than our hidden agendas. So, we pretend and we over-analyze everything. Absolutely everything. From punctuation marks to the time it takes to respond, it all means something to us when, in all likelihood, it meant nothing at all. Here’s why you should absolutely stop chasing your crush: 1. Chasing someone that isn’t pursuing you gets you nowhere except running circles around your own heart. When you meet the right person, you won’t need to run after them, because you’ll both want to walk together the moment you see eye-to-eye. Your worlds will change and the only direction
