The rise of digital finance has been quick in Kenya, with 6 million of the adult population having borrowed money using their phones. Getting a loan is now as simple as a click of a button, but how is the experience really like? So using the loan app, Branch, I sought to find out what the […]
In this modern era of capitalism, characterised by overly marketed ‘modern (but very needless and sometimes very unnecessary) essentials’, we all have that one thing that we’ve needlessly bought into and consequently gotten sold on. We all have that one guilty pleasure, that needless but highly gratifying addiction that accounts for a few zeros out […]
Wet wipes have quickly become an everyday essential. Not only for those people who use them to change their baby’s diapers but for everyday use. You can use them for cleaning your hands, taking off makeup, wiping dirt off etc. Doctors even recommend them as opposed to using toilet paper. The only problem is that […]
There are few books which are capable of engaging you from the beginning to the end but Trevor Noah’s Born A Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood has the ability to do just that, and more. Trevor Noah is known by many as the host of The Daily Show, a satirical show that looks […]
Late last year, my skin decided that it had been silent for too long and needed to break out. My entire forehead was covered with big painful pimples. There were about 3 or 4 new pimples each day. After trying out a bunch of remedies (both medical and natural) to no avail, I gave up. […]
I found about Barbara Olesi last year when I did a review of her song, Niokoe. She is back with a new song, Njoo Ulivyo which was released last month. This is her fourth song off her upcoming album. Barbara is a fast-growing artiste whose album I cannot wait to get my hands on. She […]
I have always been a huge fan of Muthoni the Drummer Queen, or MDQ, as she’s popularly known, not only as an artist but also as a human being. In my opinion, she’s one of the best musicians, not only in Kenya but also in Africa. She is an artist whose music is uniquely true […]
“…life is full of colour, and we each get to come along and add our colour to the painting.” Finally, after months and months of pressure from this one friend of mine that kept on insisting and borderline coercing me into watching this show ‘that would leave me emotionally broken forever’, I finally gave in […]
Once in a blue moon, a book comes along that gives us startling new insights. It worked for me: In life and Leadership is that book; its hard work, straight talk, respect for others, and thoughtful analysis. Colin Powell is an uncommon man with the common touch. He likes to give speeches because he’s very […]
Jeffrey Archer is a one of a kind author in his own tier. He has written best seller after best seller, and his books are not just good on paper –forgive the pun, but they also resonate with the common folk. He has a way of slowly building up suspense that will keep you turning […]
When you think of funny Marvel movies, your list is most likely to comprise Antman, Spiderman, Deadpool, Guardians of the galaxy and perhaps Ironman. Never could I have thought Thor would be a contender on the list, a promising one at that. However, Taika Waititi, the director of Thor’s third installation, has proven sceptics and […]
The Wait: A Powerful Practice for Finding the Love of Your Life and the Life You Love, is an amazing book by Devon Franklin and Megan Good that delves into sensitive matters of the heart in the most practical way possible. The power couple has discussed their journey in finding love in an open and […]
There’s always that heavenly divine connection between books and coffee, almost as if the two were always meant to go together. There’s nothing quite as fulfilling as reading a good book whilst enjoying a good cup of coffee. That said, instead of always enjoying your book and coffee at home, you could switch it up […]
Narcos is one of the few TV series of our age that lives up to the hype and Netflix really put themselves on the map to compete with networks like AMC and HBO. It shows the detailed account of Colombia’s drug lord, Pablo Escobar who is played by Wagner Moura, his rise to fame, wealth […]
Slavery is one of those subjects which many people like to associate with a rescinding past. For most of us born in the 1990s, we have even bigger concerns such as getting the latest updates on our phones or doing well in our studies which leaves a lot less space to ponder issues such as […]
