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…

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…
