Watching movies gives us unrealistic expectations of love; we dream of fairytale love that does not exist. This is mostly introduced to us growing up; we watch these movies, expecting our love life to be the same. But in reality, it isn’t,…
I was supposed to feel devastated when, on my 20th birthday, I found out I was pregnant. I felt intense, if cautious, joy instead. Finally, instead of telling my parents I wanted to quit med school, they’d abandon me to my sinful ways…
One of Kenya’s most loved basic closet items, the amazing maxi can almost do no wrong in our fashion eyes. The maxi dress does very many things right and very little wrong. It can be compared to an apple; it is very hard to find someone…
Being single is fun. That I can’t deny. Being a single lady in Nairobi, more so, has taught me a lot about relationships and sex. See, being single comes with its perks; like having the freedom to go to concerts, events, dates, drinks…you…
I have always been that girl who enjoys listening to other women talk about their dating lives. Sometimes I just scroll down Kilimani mums, ghetto edition, just for comic relief. Either the ladies who post their experiences are stand-up…
Single lady in Nairobi, don’t be over-eager to over-impress. Have you ever met those ladies in university who do everything for their boyfriends? I don’t mean ‘everything’ in terms of love and care for them; I mean cook, clean his house,…
We live in a very judgmental world, where people are constantly reminding you of the wrong things you have done and sometimes taking pleasure in throwing it in your face. People can be mean, and brutal and misunderstand you for your…
I honestly think that an independent woman might be confused about whether her man is stingy, selfish or just cheap. We have come a long way from thinking that the man should be the only provider but many relationships have ended because…
A lawyer defends and argues on your behalf. If you are found to be guilty a lawyer will still try to ensure that your sentence is reduced. Sometimes they even insist that you be moved to a better jail. The jail has better facilities. They…

I thank God for those guys who just give it to you straight and tell you the truth as it is. Not those who use such an opportunity to bring you down but use their ‘manly insight’, especially in relationships. Praise Jesus for such men in…
The fantasy house from childhood is that big mansion we see in movies or perhaps the house we grew up in. Then as we grow up our parents remind us that we need to work for our own things and that money doesn’t grow on trees. Initially,…
It is melting hot outside and the one thing you would like to do is go for a swim. You put on your booty shorts or your swimming costume then notice the dimples on your bum and thighs. Or you may wear a nice fitting dress that shows off…
Hidden from the view of many uncurious Kenyans is a little gem for African artefact and jewellery shopping. I am a lover of African jewellery and if you see most of my earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, you will see a collection of beads,…
You have probably seen many funny memes from the famous team mafisi. The memes generally defend all sorts of players in a humorous way. So as a lady I decided that I shall point out the kind of fisis we mostly encounter because the reality…
If people were given the chance to choose between chilly and sunny weather, I am sure most people will go with the latter. An azure sky, perfect rays of the sun lighting up the earth and a cool breeze blowing over the land perfectly…
Either I am growing old or I cannot simply date young men anymore. Let me say that I am old. I have outgrown men who I can date. Before a woman at the age of 27 would comfortably date a man who is 32 and they would among other things, date…
I grew up watching reruns of my favourite sitcom-Diff’rent Strokes– that aired at a local TV station. Although the show aired long ago, between 1978 and 1986, the invaluable lessons offered back then are relevant to date. I would watch the…
All great inventions usually start with an idea; an idea that solves a certain problem, makes life easier and brings more value to our way of life. Such is the story of the birth of Twitter. Evan Williams, ex-Googler had a startup called…

The night before is usually the best. After an exotic night out the consequences follow you the next day, they rudely interrupt your morning with a headache, nauseous feeling and cravings that hardly make sense. You may try everything at…
Bold, bright and brilliant; are just a few words to describe the stunning prints and fabrics used in creating Congolese fashion. Sporting only the most stylish designer labels, and wearing only meticulously matched colours, the Congo’s…
Singlehood nowadays is becoming a rather difficult state to be in, don’t get me wrong, I am in love with being single but sometimes I ask myself, can no one notice all this awesomeness? Such was my story until I met him. I don’t know what…
I’ve heard all sorts of lyrics in my life and the one that struck me the most was from Justin Bieber’s song love yourself when he says “my mama don’t like you and she likes everyone”. That part of the song sounds harsh and the whole song…
