Self care Sunday | Nail Care

Self care Sunday | Nail Care

Time is passing us by, yet we are not taking care of ourselves.

Hello! Hello! Hello! How did the last half of 2019 start for you?

Mine started off a little bit busy and stressful to a point that last week I just broke down and cried out of exhaustion. Yeah, life really got to me. And that’s when I decided to get serious with my self care. Hence why from now on, we will have Self care Sunday.

Wine, Sex & Chill | The Meaning of Sexual Consent

BAKE Awards Nominee

Do what you love and it will always pay back.

Hello! Hello! Hello!

I started blogging as a way to get away from every day life and I honestly never look at it as such a big deal. I am always asked why I don’t push my blog and YouTube as much as others do and I always say that I do it just to put a smile on someones face through my words and I am actually happy with that. A new friend of…

All Natural Kenyan Protein Treatment

All Natural Kenyan Protein Treatment

Buy Kenya, Build Kenya

For the last 5 years of my natural hair journey I have been using international brands as my protein treatment and I have been longing for one made in Kenya.

Our hair is made up of 80-85% Keratin which is protein. And just like how we eat a balanced diet to maintain a healthy body, we need to do the same for our hair. Therefore, it is recommended that every 6 to 8…

I think it is safe to crown myself as the lazy natural queen.

Hello! Hello! Hello!

About a month ago, I found myself in the mood of not wash my hair. It was actually becoming a thing. Question; Why doesn’t anyone ever worn you that the 8-5 life actually drains you? I literally needed to sleep throughout Easter to recover. Anyway, that’s besides the point.

Tracking your Menstrual Cycle & My go to Period Products

When she bleeds the smells I know change colour. There is iron in her soul on those days. She smells like a gun. Jeanette Winterson

I’ve always been a late bloomer in terms of girl matters and I remember in primary school, when all my friends were starting their cycles I was a bit envious. It has taken me a log while to finally accept my body just as is. We all have our own journeys.

January & February Book Review

January & February Book Review

“You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book.” – Dr Suess

I’ve been an avid reader since the age of 10 years old. I used to enjoy sitting in the school library during my free time and before I go home and getting lost in a book. I’ve always found that reading is the best form of escapism especially when you are not necessarily feeling human interaction at…

Natural Hair Steaming & Steaming Cap Review

Taking time to understand your hair and its needs is the first step to healthy hair.

Once you find something that works for your hair, why would you want to do things any differently?

Hello! Hello! Hello!

The more I think of it, the simplest solution, is always the best. I was always a sucker for DIY, why am I spending money on my hair was a recurring question when I was newly natural, but I’ve come to think of it as an investment.

How to shop on Tique a Bou | Online Shopping

Online Shopping, because it is frowned upon to be in a store with no bra, sweatpants and a glass of wine. Bring on Tique a Bou.

Whoever invented online shopping, must have been an introvert who hated leaving their house, and to that I celebrate them.

As much as I am a fun of online shopping, there are some sites that leave a bad taste in your mouth and the thought of online shopping becomes questionable. When Tique a Bou reached out to me to try their services, I was a bit…

Hello! Hello! Hello!

I live for lazy styles that do not require much thought process. 1, 2, 3 and your done, who doesn’t like that. 🤔🤔🤔

Wash and Go on Natural Hair

Life isn’t perfect, but your hair can be.

Hello! Hello! Hello!

I never thought I’d be able to achieve a defined wash and go on my type 4b/4c hair, but here I am now, loving the simplicity of the wash and go’s.

I love how my hair is able to sit in defined, clumped curls and last me the entire week. As you can tell by now, I don’t re-moisturize or restyle my hair in between washes, ’cause child, no…
