MERRY CHRISTMAS LOVES

By


Hi all!
I hope your preparations for Christmas are coming along well. I'm always so happy and giddy this time of year. Be it the presents, spending time with family, the fantastic food, Christmas carols and of course celebrating the birth of Jesus, it all makes me feel like a little child again. Monday was spent  completing my Christmas shopping and today I was putting the finishing touches to the decorations and gift wrapping. Now I just have to complete the menu, ensure all the ingredients are in the kitchen and wait for tomorrow morning. 
Christmas day usually begins with breakfast and gift opening followed by Church. Then it's back home to start the cooking. This year my family is meeting up with some of my extended family members and some family friends. I think it will be a memorable occasion.
A quick note about this outfit. I wore white linen pants and a peach sequin dress top to Church last Sunday. This was a warm weather outfit seeing as the weather has finally decided to settle down to regular December weather. The dress top is a part of those that I am selling in my shop available here.
To accessorize, I wore purple peep-toe wedges, a black handbag and gold embellished earrings. 

P.S. Regular posts will resume on the 27th of December but you can follow me on Instagram for a preview of my activities during this festive time.

What are your plans for this Christmas?


Thank you for stopping by.

Merry Christmas lovelies!

A labour of love: Long days, bee stings and a global premiere

By
“Amkeni” roughly translates to “Rise Up” in Kiswahili. This is the call of Chambuko Amkeni, a community-led conservation group involved in mangrove restoration and protection. In 2025, I had the honour of working with them to document their journey on women’s leadership in coastal and marine conservation, climate change adaptation and the blue economy, for a collaboration between Mission inclusion and the BBC StoryWorks'   for the   Living Legacy Series . This was my first time working on a project of this magnitude not to mention one that would have a global audience. To say this has been one of the highlights of the last two years is an understatement. Just thinking about it, my heart swells with pride. I feel like a mother watching her baby grow and come of age (please don't tell my daughter this!). With members of the Chambuko Amkeni Group Leading the production of Amkeni with my amazing colleagues was a true labour of love. A vision come to life thanks to the support o...

Rediscovering myself

By
A few blog posts ago I alluded to struggles I'd been facing for a few years now. I said that I would address these issues here soon but honestly, I didn't know when would be a good time. So I thought that today is as good a day as any. Last year I was diagnosed with trauma. It had been years in the making, a result of an emotionally abusive relationship and years of challenging events with seemingly no respite in sight. Although I had eventually gotten out of the relationship, I had unconsciously allowed this person's opinions of me become so ingrained in me that I had lost all knowledge of my former self. I lacked self-confidence. I blamed myself for many things that had happened in my life. I was perpetually sad and struggled to find even the smallest things to smile about. I had no motivation to do even those things that I loved. I would take photos and see my smiling face but deep down I knew that was just a front. I was broken, a shell of my former self. Now I'm no...

Blogging Challenge Day 13 | 5 Ways I Learned To Be Happy (No Matter The Circumstances)

By
Like everybody else, I began this year on a very positive note. I hoped for a better year than I had had in 2017. I had a plan that I laid out and I was determined to accomplish a lot of what was on my 2018 list. I once heard someone say that sometimes you plan and it doesn't work out not because you haven't put in enough effort but because God has other plans for you. So the first three months of 2018 were completely upside down for me. Everything seemed to be going wrong. I won't lie to you and tell you that I carried on happy in spite of everything that wasn't working. I struggled to smile, to wake up in the morning, to face my day, to be around people. However, I was determined to find lasting happiness. I wanted to find a way that would ensure that I remained happy even when life seemed to be going against me. I did my research and tried out a few things and found the 5 ways listed below that I have now been putting into practice for the last four or so month...
