Dear everyone,

i am sure all if us can relate when i just say mondays! i barely have to say anything more.. Ever wondered why they endup so blue in the sense that, they can be so dull little life, if only there was a post sunday aghh life would be so merry but then again i am sure we still wouldnt be ready for mondays

Mine start out super slow, i must have had a great weekend or even a lazy one but still wouldnt be ready.. This one, started at that time of the month (im sure most ladies can relate) so i was feeling awefull, i slept late had a presentation to finish thanks to my last minute habits

Wokeup runing late after i snoozed my alarm almosf thrice( why do i even set it up anyway SMH) and then i rushedly showered, almost flew to school and then had to print my work got to class late ( as always ) luckily someone had started presenting and i was next.. I had three presentation all lined up by the time i was done with the last i swore school was not for me matter of fact both ideas my dad once put across of doing mh PHD or becoming an assistant lecture both seemed like am okey idea at the time but with each passing day i think well i guess thats never going to happen

By half an hour to two i hada breakbefkre my next class and Zainab was a dear enough to drag me to Galleria for burgers, i did not even know that Urban Burgers had a Monday offer where you get two at a price of one, how cool is that for a monday guys ..

Wheni tell you food can liften your apirits lighten your day i am not even kidding.. My mood just went super light pink real quick, they where conciderate and quick and we fisten on them as fast as possible making sure to enjoy the taste the beef was well done the cheese was the best amount and the bacon was hellur nice and it was juicy to the right amount the onions ring ohh dont even get em started on those,  i would defently go back some time..

Rushing back to class late more presentations but with a better mood and then a few hours later here a am..

Now that is how you get to take the gloomy attitude out of your monday, get yourself to bed early,  rest as much as possible you will need this strength to deal with your mondays, wakeup with a positive attitude if all fails or not Eat Eat Eat my dears it sure does work

Dear Readers,

Ohh how i love adventures even the smallest ones possible, so every sunday at K1 or mostly known as Klub House.. they have beautfiful exhibitions of art and the kind..

i love this place from the design the woodwork and the beautiful way they have a pathway with umbrellas hanging ohh God its beautiful it almost reminds me of a place in Cyprus that used to be my favorite spot “Biliotheque”

So they have different artisians showcasing different stuff, its such a sight man.. from bead works, woven materials, african prints and they had a energy reader a friend even tried it and no i didnt try it, im not tryna see my ancestors ohh but i would recomend it too.. you guy the amount of creativeness in this is just wooow , and ofcourse theres eateries and drinks, to like everything you can think of..

After the showcasing at 600 hrs they have an amasing band playing such a pheneomenal spot if tou ask me.. I would defently recomend it to just about anyone..

I took a couple shots, i love the scenery in general and it would be one of the best places id recomend this to anyone in nairobi or viting..

Dear Readers

I thought i’d a “25 Life Lessons in 25 years”… most of us can relate, sometimes its good to stop and evaluate how far youv come and still go on.. you would realsie you give yourself little credit. Someone once said” life is what happens when we are busy making other plans” he must have been realy wise for it is true.. so here goes

1. you are enough

Yes you are enough, i had to tell that to myself everytime as a reminder, we may feel less but we need to tell ourselves we are actualy enough

2. Incase something goes wrong dont go always blaming yourself first

Why is it as humans when something goes wrong be it a relationship a friendship name it we always look for faults in ourselves? blaming and all, we tend to to this so wed find no fault in the other party but why do that to yourself . no its not always your fault but its also good to acknowledge when its you.

3. just because you go out often go wild often or do the donts doesnt mean you dont know what your doing

I have been a victim of this many a times, just because i go out ever now and then and can be very intouch with my wild side, most people assume you dont know what your doing with your life, you would be suprised how much i am in touch with my life i just need these wild sides to keep me goin so no dont judge me..and imnot about to judge myself either

4. start taking tea mamas advice was good

Okey everyone that knows me knows i dont like tea at all💆🏾‍♀️ matter of fact i dont like hot liquids all together maybe soup, so mom would always push me to having tea which by the way i think shes a teaholic (if theres such a term) but i have come to realise she is right like always ( i will explain soem other time) so here goes trying tea and making it a habit

5. always be thanful for how far youv come

its important to be thankful, a thnakful heart is twice a prayer.. every now and then its good to look at how far wev come and be greatful this alone helps us take fifty more steps ahead

6. everytime you want to complain look at the good thngs in your life

Me and my girls always have this conversation, sometimes we forget how far wev come we tend to complain more than acknowldege what we have.. its a reminder before you compalin look at where your at and where youv been. One of my new years resolution was to compalin less yes life will hit me and throw a couple punches but it will be okey . So now when someone asks me how is school and the Masters programme i go uhh well ” Mungu anasaidia” this helps me not complain

7. Learn to love wholey and accept the rejections because both are coming for you

When you love and close the rest of you that is you cheating your self and even the people you claim to love, love is sweet im such a romantic i would tell you that but love is also super bitter ohh, the point here is if tou let yourself love wholey even its gone you know you gave it your best and It teaches you to accept rejections because in life there will be a couple of them both love and rejections be it at job interviews relationships and so so you will be ready

8. That gut feeling yes dont ignore it, your intuition knows the way follow up

Ohh im so sure i am not the only one that always has this feeling in your gut or tummy or wherever that is, expecialy when you know something isnt right but youl ignore it.. sometimes we know things we just choose not to see them that way.. your intuition is your strongest weapon and strength builder always

9. love the peopl in your life that love and support you, love them like they are rare magic unions forexample, because they are

This is smthn very important i have acknowledged, sometimes we think just because these people have been there for the most part of our lives then they know how we value them NO this isnt always so..it doesnt kill nor break you to actualy let them know.. love them and show them like they were rare magic say like unicorns or fairy god mothers because if you think about it thwy truly are magic

10. Open your heart and mind to new things change is good for you

I have come to terms with this yes what youv been doing all through has worked great sure but No what you learn new wouldnt take these experiences away it will make you better even, change is good embrace it

11. theres no one way to do something, if someone did it then that person wasnt you so do it

A number of times i have heard someone say i want to do a busness im thinking clothes but everyone does that and the list goes on and on, okey yes they have done it but they arent you, you can do it on your own way,style, terms name it. there is never one way to do things

12. keep talking to yourself like you do yes your not insane its okey

Number of times i have considered seeing a shrink because if i tell you how much i talk to myself you guys like good God.. but then i have realised its not a bad thing, i happy talk myself i curse myself out too sometimes ohh i guilt talk myself out all the time ohh the list goes on and on, but it isnt wrong so il keep doing it im a better listener to myself anyway hehe

13. something can be hard but when you start doing it you will be amazed

I am a living testimony on this i would tell you that, the number of times i procastinate just because i think something is hard for me to accomplish is madness, but i have realised that when i start doung it actualy it works out and am left thinking oh wow..

14. give props and thumbs up to the people you appreciate, it may mean nothing much to you but to them its everything

I couldnt agree more , its realy important to actualy just aprecaite someone for the things they do that actauly have you all amazed wowed and just proud to have them.. you may never think much of it at the moment but you would never know how much it means to them trust me

15. write more often and read novels even more oftenyour lucky you discovered what you love now do it

this is some realisation that i will always hold dear, the moment i knew i loved books thanks to the inspiration from my dad and sister, and the moment i realised i loved writing alot.. those two might be yet my best realisations ever… Now you look for what you love and start doing it..

16. it is okey to have fantacies, that doesnt mean your daft it means your mind has a way if its own and thats your power

i think i am so guilty of this , its like theres a whole other world out there.. if thoughts where heard outloud i swear.. but its okey to have these fantacies i have realised, it realy doesnt say im daft no quite the contrary it means even my mind has a mind of its own i mean how great is that! but thats your power

17. Set goals as high as ever the thought that you could think that high means your on your first step towards them

come to think of it there is nothing like an unrealistic goal, i mean you did think of it that means there is a chance you can fo it and a chance is all you need.. so set the bar high and go for it because you actualy can

18. Sometimes the world may feel like its crambling on you, no your not the only one that feels like that just buckle up and wait it out

There times i feel like okey so my worlds probably coming to a bitter end and this is it.. its horrible no lie.. but then a better day comes up and i forget even.. this has taught me alot. it might seem like the worlds done with you but then thats more of a test because the next day even turns out better

19. it is okey to wish for more than anyone can imagine YES it is okey

many a times i’v thought to myself , maybe what i want doesnt exist? maybe i wish for too much? is it that bad to hope for quite much.. no its not a bad thing at all.. loving yourself amd wishing great things for yourself is a reflection of what will come your way.. so yes its okey to wish for the imposible or set that bar high its quite okey

20. you have the best family ever and the best of friends always remind them how important they are to you

I have realised i for one has the best family ever we pray for eachother we are there always and we have eachother and this gives me so much joy, i have friends as dear as family we batt heads we survive the distance but after all is said and done we have one another and i am greatful for them.. always treasure this

21. Your addicted to your phone, you love good food and good music

I have accepted my defaults i am addicted to my phone you guys i went without it for a couple days this year because it was broken and man did i feel like i would loose it, iv been there too around my udnergrad times my phone had issues or so i felt like ohh boy im doomed so yes i have realised and accepted that, i also do accept i love good food anhh we all know a cant even start about this a wont finish.. and yes good music is just what the soul needs

22. you hate early mornings but then your working towards getting along with them early mornings

ohh this as much as im tryng to handle i wont lie i hate early mornings, its like am a zombie most mornings i swear.. i keep saying i am not a morning person but i dont think anyone undertands to what ends this statement is true mhh ask my mom she would tell you..she kust have had me at night for sure because i have so much energy at night hehe, but i am a working progress ( even though i do t like it )

23. you are open to making new aquintancies thats grown of you am so proud

i got to a point where i said anh im done making new friends growing up is tough as it is..i make a couple mistakes a wont lie but the energy to actualy meet new people click and then have comon yhings its too much, there was a time i told my sister no im through but now am open not new friends per say but new aquintances as well now i school with older men and women i learn alot from them some have the churchs calling, some are mothers this teaches me alot and am greatful

24. you have several petpeevs you need to work on

need i say more,NEED I SAY MORE , no i wont be hanging my laundry today but i am working on my petpeevs trust that

25. your a quater a century and you know what your doing great you are going to be just fine *pat in the back*

Well Hellow Everybody!

In light of loving life and making every attempt possible to celebrate it, which is very important

Sometimes as people we tend to always look at the downpart of life, what we dont like what we want to change what we wish for and cant have, we forget to look at how far we have come as individuals and how we might not have it all but we do have some of it and acknowldeging this is a very significant aspect in life

on that note, celebrating life is very very important for your soul your self esteem yes its okey to give yourself a pat in yhe back every once in a while and say ohh you did good mate🙋🏾‍♀️

Lets do that more often, shall we💁🏾

In honor of my girls birthday @owbee

**Xoxo**

Hey Guys,

Its been a minute or so, id say the usual school is hectic life just catches up with you soo fast sometimes and then well things happen a suppose but one thing is for sure my live for writting sharing adventures and photographs tales and laughs stays the same matter if fact it grows as i grow and i noe have to find more ways to chanell all this energy..

This weekend was one of the best ones, everyone that knows me knows i hate being new like on a serious basis and that i love my girls we all have a good time when were around eachother, forgeting all the stress that comes with life and just living the moment it is very important and refreshing

So some of my girls where in town this weekend and i tell you this i had to say okeyy now you all can leave i need to do school now haha but deep down i would give anything for them to stay longer..

We had a series of adventures the wether was so gloomy the whole time it rained we wanted to look at a market place everyone talkes of and man did we see, mall tours and a good nights out what more can one ask for ..

But allas there was more so on sunday a friend took us to a spot he claimed was cool , and then we got there and the first thing i had in mind was ohhh my word my sister would love love this (if you know her ud know why a said this like OMG) Not knowing shes been there yes so like her shes cool like that.. Anyway the scene is to die for i loved everything about it

First how from the outside your like ohh ts fine but you get in and its like woow the bars are quite chic and the wood work was amazing there was like a ban or two and then like their boards made me giggle so much and i was sober i remember one written “Brunch without booz is like a sad late breakfast” aint that right everybody 😬😬..

They also had sections of art display and cultural sales that where to die for from like cute accesories bangn bang jewerys bags and clutches and hoodies and just every things was amazing , to top it off they had the rooftop umbrella setting i sooo love it reminded me of ” Bibliotheque” in Cyprus how i loved the feel of that place anyone whose been to North cyprus would know what am talking about, and if you ever visit do look it up.. Back to K1 oh did i mention thats the name of the place quite a scenery beautful peopl and the Jazz band was soo amazing they sang a mixture of songs had the crowd blended so well everyone was a perfection from the lady that sang her heart out to the pianist the guiter guy and ohh i could go on and on And ohh my the Sangria was amazing we added a shot or two just because but it was amazing..

Below are some of the Pictures, they wouldnt do justice to any of it but hey a pictures worth a thousand words right….

Hello Guys,

Its been a minute, im comming around to this, with school weighing me down i miss writing so much..

I thought id share some wonderful shots from my friends, ohh i cant even begin to explain how much my heart gets a little swolen and overwhelmed everytime im reminded how i have the best of friends any girl can ask for, Sometimes you might go a long shot without talking but when you do its like you never stoped..

I have the most genuin of them yes we arent always sane around eachother but hey the worlds preety insane in itself dont you think, but the fact that we are able to put together our so very different personalities overlook our flaws and make this thing called life worth the while is what FRIENDSHIP is about..

how glam do they all look yo’ll , i love the hats they give me such a Bahamas vibe falling i love with summer kinda touch, yes we have sumer winter and fall in a day this side of Africa (anyone can attest to that)

I love love the prints in these they are laid back and chilled and the shoes to go with ot plated roses matched such a site..

Plane white does it for most ocasions and whats better to it than and open off sholder strap and the clevege to kill for

Saving best for the last, the video below.. I love the semi maxi shift dress that would look like a dress in the fromt and a skirt n too from the back more of a statement like a heyyy in the fromt and a party in the back, i love ghe beige ish colour and the hat goes very well with it and a little plane sandals to go with it, i actualy have to adore this one from a far becausr she knows i cant fit in there talk about a buzzkill…

Hopefuly you enjoyed these, give you an idea or two on your cordinating sense and what you would like to rock for a girl time get together of the sort..

Hello Guys,its been a minute, i know i know quite a cliche huh because i have developed such a bad habit of popping in and out like i was not here, but i promise i am working on that. Getting back to that good place that enables me to write passionately too and well hoping for the best.So last weekend a friend of mine was show casing at this Summer popup ENJIPAI and my ohh my i had such a nice time.

Hello Guys,

I wokeup feeling way too overwhelmed yo. So as most of you know i have a sister hihi yes her name is Betty, well not really just betty her name is Albertina Marcelina….i will spare her and not mention that her tribal name, which by the way my father decided to give us when we where far too grown if you ask me, and i swear its just fun and i know one person that would be on the floor rightnow if i were to write Bettys “Nyakyusa” name, abu.. But that is a story for another day. So we all call her betty.

Shes normaly the one with a straight head on her shoulders, i insist NORMALY because trust you me she is still a Mwaikuka and there is nothing normal about us, and that even makes it merrier , i mean i sometimes wonder if mama made the mistake of having umm lets say seven of us, what would she be curing herself of now, mind you it woulnt be pressure wala the usuals ohh, my mother is brave ohh , we had a kill eachother attitude and still dont you dare touch my sibling or il kill you kinda thing like i cant even begin to explain..

So recently id moved to some other city , unfortunately enough (HOMEEE SICKKK) But about a week or so ago a friend of mine went to arusha to visit, so my sister had always said “ukipata a friend anakuja uniambie i send you this and that i got you” she is soo thoughtful mwe, i was like okey so i asked this friend, and mind you my sister stays out of town, she had to go through the hustle send a driver to town and then have them delivered to mama and then mama on her way to her farm would deliver them, ohh my family God bless their heart.

Fast forward to last night when i finnaly had a chance to collect them, openning i got this sudden overwhelming feeling, my word the though she put on every litle thing i once or so mentioned mwe, for a second a almost cried and then a realised am being a baby and pulled ma shit together, she even had a little handwritten card , lord how i love handwritten notes and i quote “I pray you have happy,smiley days like these flowers” ohh my dear sister, what would i do without you.

Ohh well i slept it off and then decided to share this morning, God puts people in our lives for a purpose and reason, but he puts siblings for an even greater reason, i love my siblings to death..

P.S Im boogie and extra i will actually frame that card or something,as long as i have it on my desk

Peep her tussle earings, ohh aint they chic and cute… Xo

Dear Readers,

Okey let me just say this, Poise is a word i would find myself using in an odinary day but ohh my word the feeling id felt after the pictures i saw bellow, this word came to mind and for a second i though mhhh im not that terrible afterall HAAA,My sister would be so proud of me ….(Heeey Betty,See see seeee HAaaa)

Anyways so from one Carol to another how gorgus is my namesake yoo, this was one of those elegant yet effortless ones, looking at these had me home sick for a whole day, yes that bad.

When she called to say she would be in my town (Yes Arusha will always be my town people dont judge am just not made for these big cities) i was jelous because i wasnt around to see her nor be home if am being honest and then she went on to tell me she wanted to visit the cultural heritage and so forth and i went namey your so not a tourist (My namesake is that extremely EXTRAA she once caled to ask me if i know a flower vendor and i was like ohh you boogie being and went on to say go on to the round about you will find people selling all sorts of roses abeg buy am..yes im just that friend hihi )

So anyways seeing these a little later had me all mello dramatic and in awee all together…

From one carol to another, i miss home and tes she is fab!You guys should visit these, absolutely faves.
