It sometimes baffles me how oblivious men are to the inappropriate habits they have and how uncomfortable they make us. You’d think they’d have caught on after the hash tags and women’s marches but no! They still act like juvenile little boys who’ve only had sex with 1 girl, thirsty AF for the next nut. […]
I recently found out that an ex-friend of mine was getting married, and by happenstance on a previous occasion, I learned that this same ex friend, has a bun in the oven. For you to understand my position (or maybe imposition) in her life experiences, you’d have to know that she and I split on […]
It’s hard to imagine that there could still be anyone in this day and age who doesn’t yet appreciate just how important the progress that we have made in the fields of environmental science and medicine are. And yet, there is still a battle underway to make sure that the benefits of a greener society […]
A plain white t-shirt is a closet essential that cuts across gender, age, style and brand. It is one of the most versatile clothing items that you can never get enough of. The reason for its popularity is that you get exactly what you asked for. However, the look can get boring really fast. If […]
Ad Hoc may not be a familiar name but after performing this weekend at Safaricom Jazz, you will most likely see them everywhere. I caught up with Dan Abissi to find out more about who they are and what they are doing. Ad Hoc is a young, growing sensational jazz band that is creating quality timeless […]
Friendship is a tough “ship” to maintain. As you get older it becomes more difficult to retain meaningful relationships for many extenuating reasons: trauma, non-committal behaviour and jealousy. It’s happened to us on more than one occasion. I for one am not shy to admit the green-eyed monster has sprouted up within me and caused […]
The YouTube sensation that is Over 25 has won the hearts of many Nairobians. The name “Over 25” is attributed to the hostesses and their age group: Shiko, Ivy, Julia and Lorna breakdown controversial topics like sex, marriage, condoms and contraception, among other taboos. Their playful friendship is what makes the show relatable and lovable. […]
Boyfriends come in all shapes and sizes; they are a part of every young woman’s growth and maturity, yet some of them are not good for us. Having a boyfriend can reveal different layers of our personality: who we are and what we’re willing to tolerate – once you’ve gone through a handful, you’ll be […]
Cantu is an American brand that specializes in natural hair products. This is a favourite among many naturalistas because of the price (products range from Kshs 1,050 – 2,200) and pretty packaging. I use a wide variety of natural hair products, but what stands out the most to me is Cantu’s line of shea infused […]
Self-discipline is so hard. It’s something we all struggle with and that’s primarily because we’ve already established bad habits that are constantly working against us. You could read a shelf worth of self-help books that are geared to boost your productivity and still fall short when it’s time to work what you’ve learned. Many of […]
Have you ever had a terrible falling out with someone? You know the ones that you swear you’ll never make-up from? So have I. I’ve had tons of relationships over the years and some of them just didn’t work out. These were with friends, lovers and acquaintances. Some were mild but some stung so bad […]
I had the pleasure of travelling with Qatar Airways some weeks back on my way to the USA. When you hear that you’ll be up in the air for almost 20 hours, it can be a bit daunting. Luckily the stellar services provided by Qatar make the trip so comfortable, that you hardly notice how […]
You’ve probably seen the drama, entertainment and educational value that comes with YouTube. But, did you know that there are life lessons you can pick up from your favourite YouTube stars? Besides YouTube being an entertainment platform, it’s also a business and source of income for many creators. Therefore, through their content and hustle, you […]
Here is a simple example to understand how blockchains work. Man has been keeping records for over 5,000 years. Writings on clay were used to document important hot historical events, basic bookkeeping amongst other things. We all know that this developed to writing on papyrus 1000 years later and finally paper 2000 years later. It […]
If you’re a fan of chocolate and Baileys, then I have an extra treat that you’ll enjoy. Everything’s better with a little splash of alcohol, even food. Contrary to popular belief, adding alcohol to food will not get you drunk. It will, however, give your food a rich, flavourful taste. What better way to enjoy […]
