Itโs not that I am biased. Itโs just that I say it like I see it and thatโs exactly what Iโm going to relate to you. I had the honour of seeing Sunidhi Chauhan live in concert on Friday at the Aga Khan Complex at an exclusive fundraiser for patientsโ welfare for the Aga Khan University Hospital… Continue reading Sunidhi Chauhan Live In Concert
About 5 years ago I knew nothing about plants except that theyโre meant to be green and maybe have flowers on them if they are so inclined. I was the type of person who had to touch a plant to figure out if it was real or plastic. This all changed when… Continue reading The Wonderful World Of Orchids
I have been blessed with beautiful and healthy hair on my head. The only thing I donโt like about it is the frizzy nature because whenever I let it dry naturally I look like I have stuck a wet finger in a live socket and been electrocuted.

Kenyans for Kenya is not an alien phrase in our country. From social media to print and electronic media, anyone and everyone who is concerned with the plight of starving Kenyans is doing something for them. In this initiative, there are no political agendas at all. Itโs just us Kenyans โ you, me and everyone else โ who are doing our bit by giving back to our starving counterparts. First of all, shame on us that in this day and age we are facing a crisis of starvation. Continue reading Kenyans For Kenya โ The Girlie Way
