MEN in colour...

Just as women have trouble behind the wheel, so do men at wearing colour. My take is, full grown and straight men should embrace colour! While black will always be the staple colour in men's wardrobes, every once in a while, you should try and mix it up...

Whether its a shirt, tie, cardigan, blazer, tee or even pants...

Add a touch of colour to your ties!

In relation to my post, here is a blog i read and loved...see it here
Street Vintage: A little Color Never Killed Anyone

Sincerely, from my heart...

‎
True Story...Real talk!
From my heart because this how i do things, how i have battled break-ups, and how i am still breathing...lol
We all have that one true love, who came and left or for the lucky few, still exists! Well, mine left...back in '07 and '08 was the worst year of my life! I'm not going to get into details on why he left, I'll focus on how i coped with the whole situation. I remember it like it was yesterday...
We had been dating close to 2 years, the first few we were really close friends, its no wonder letting go was a big hurdle! We are still friends but it took a while...the morning after the break-up, you'd think i had been ran over by a car, wah! i was devastated, i cried close to a year, don't laugh, i had been smitten beyond words! That guy you dream of, that knight in shinning Armour, that man who makes you see a house and kids...yes, he was all that and more! We spent every second of everyday together, and if he was away, phone calls every hour of the day. That person I'd call up at 3am, and go like..."Sweets, i can't sleep"
I woke up to the morning of January 2008, like some part of me had been yanked away, something, SOMEONE was missing. I cried some more, i just could not believe it! We talked over the phone, we tried to patch things up, but in the real sense, it was over! Weeks passed, months, i could still not get over it! My grades dropped at school(2nd year of campus). I took up binge drinking and occasional smoking, i was spiraling out of control....Any time anyone mentioned his name, i would break down and cry! I tried rebounds but kept comparing everyone who showed even remote interest in me, to my one and only!
I thought about counseling, but was too proud....i knew i would soon get over it! It took one and a half years, finally in late 2009 i met someone, but this too was short lived owing to obvious reasons. Today, my heart still skips a bit when he calls and i can't wipe the sheepish smile off my face, his relatives hope that one day we'll both see that we were meant to be, as told to me by his cousin! Problem is we both kinda moved on and i am now comfortable that we are friends, they say half a loaf is better than none right?
I remember he gave me a promise ring that i still wear to this day, my index finger has a mark, a sign that the ring never leaves my finger!

Moral of the story is:
1. Do not be afraid to cry, cry all you want, it helps!
2.Love wisely, leave some love for yourself.
3.Fuck what the rules say, take a rebound if you have to, it will be short lived but it will help you nurse the wounds.
4.Pre-occupy yourself, pick a hobby and emancipate yourself.
5. Do not however take up binge drinking, smoking or eating.
6.Time heals all wounds...give it time.
7.Talk about your heartache, its a form of remedy.
8.Being friends is up to you, in my opinion its not such a bad idea.
9.Try not to compare people, everyone is different.
10.Lastly, its not the end of the world, dust yourself off and on to the next one!

C'est la vie...xoxo!

Out and About...

It's been a while blog readers, but i have been cooped up in the house for a while now! Today though i decided to stretch my legs, haha...no! Really, i got a call and had to leave the house, lol. All to my advantage since outdoors is the mother of creativity...
So i rush out of the house, I'm supposed to pick a package my dad has left at the gate of his workplace and deliver it elsewhere! Anyways, i say hi to the watchie, go on to ask for the package...
Watchie: Na mnafanana...
Me: :-)
The other watchie: Wewe ni sister yake?
Me: :-O
1st Watchie: Apana, ni msichana wake...
I walk away really hoping that, that watchie meant daughter by msichana wake! The second watchie ruined my day though, do i look that old?! lol
So I'm strolling now, package in one hand...I ran into another watchie, "eh, mrembo..na si umeumbika, alar...umetokea upande gani?" I'm thinking to myself, these must be those Naswa guys on Citizen but wapi?
A call 4rm my dad comes through, so i stand at the next exit to wait 4 him...seeing that I'm waiting for someone from the gate that mchokozi watchie is manning, he starts to apologize...lmao!
Ati, "usinichukulie kwa ubaya, ni vizuri kujuana"
Are you kidding me? I'm thinking...'Nitakusema'
I'm done with my dad and as i walk away, the stupid bugger has the audacity to ask for my phone number...Ai, Really? I just walk away!

On to today's post though....I never thought i'd ever see Jeans overtaken by another form of wear, the leggings. Or is just in Nairobi? So, today i was out and about i could have sworn i counted more leggings to Jeans. Everywhere i turned, was leggings, black mosly...but i also saw plaid blue and black ones! I must say everyone i saw did the leggings justice so i'm not going to hate! If remember correctly, i saw 11 leggings, and i'm sure there were many more only that i was in a hurry!
How to wear leggings successfully!
1.Choose the right shoes: Leggings look best with flats, such as ballerina flats, or plain pumps. Boots are another great option to wear with leggings.
2.Your top can be tunic, in sweater form or knit jersey material. You can wear a belt with it or not.
3.Make sure your look is balanced – your top should be loosely fitting, your leggings should be well fitting.
4.Steer clear of tight shirts for the best look. These items work better when your overall outfit is balanced, pairing loose with fitting.
5.Leggings can also be Paired with mini-skirts, particularly denim skirts work well with a pair of flat shoes.

NOTE: Don't wear a short top with leggings, your shirt, whether it's a tunic or any other knitted top, should fall past your rear, not stop at the waist. This is especially important if your leggings fall on the thin side -you don't want to look like you left the house in only a shirt and tights-Don't wear leggings in place of pants, Leggings are an accessory not a garment They shouldn't be expected to take the place of a pair of slacks, but instead to add to the flair of a casual outfit.

Xoxo!

Amazing Holes in the Earth

Looking at photos like these scares and fascinates me in equal doses. The sheer scale of these holes reminds you of just how tiny you are. Mirny Diamond Mine, Siberia. I'm pretty sure most people have seen this one. It's an absolute beast and holds the title of largest open diamond mine in the world, at 525 metres deep with a top diameter of 1200 metres there's even a no-fly zone above the hole due to a few helicopters being sucked in.

1 Kimberley Big Hole, South Africa

Kimberly Big Hole, located in South Africa, was a diamond mine over 1,097 meters deep. The mine was closed in 1914 but was later reopened as a tourist attraction. The site is now a major tourist attraction, featuring a bar, small hotel, shops, and eateries – all in the same area that these things would have been located while the mine was active. Workers will be dressed in period garb and visitors will have the opportunity to participate in a simulation complete with dynamite blasts and dusty explosions ? all designed to give visitors a feel for what it was like living in mine town.

2 Glory Hole ? Monticello Dam, California

The Glory Hole at Monticello Dam is a man made hole designed to help drain water from the reservoir. The sheer size of the hole allows it to drain over 14,440 cubic feet of water every second ? yes, that?s every second! Water that is drained through the hole is shot out at the bottom of the dam. Rumors claim that a woman jumped down the hole thinking she would come out the other end but never lived to tell the tale ? I?ve seen no proof, so take that story or leave it.

3 Bingham Canyon Mine, Utah

Bingham Canyon Mine, located in Utah, is still an active mine and is considered to be one of the world?s most productive. The canyon was originally discovered in 1850 and mining began in 1863, at which point it became apparent how valuable the site actually is. The mine produces millions of ounces s of valuable metals, including copper, gold, silver, and molybdenum each year. The Rio Tinto, the owner, is currently committed to a project that will ensure the mine stays open until at least 2013.

4 Great Blue Hole, Belize

The Great Blue Hole in Belize is located in the center of Lighthouse Reef. The hole itself is a limestone sinkhole. It measures 300 feet across and is well over 400 feet deep. The depth of the water in the hole is why the ?blue hole? appears such a dark color when seen from above. The Great Blue Hole is a very popular tourist attraction for divers who want to explore the stalactites and limestone structures that begin to form around the insides of the hole at approximately 110 feet deep. Don?t forget ? this 400 foot hole used to be above the surface of the ocean!

5 Mirny Diamond Mine, Serbia

The Mirny Diamond Mine is located in Eastern Serbia near a small town known as Mirna. The mine itself is over 525 meters deep and more than 125 kilometers in diameter. The hole is so wide and so deep it is believed to cause a suction effect, which has caused several aircraft accidents in the area. The Mirny Diamond Mine is now considered a no fly zone!

6 Diavik Mine, Canada

The Diavik Diamond Mine in Canada is one of the most amazing diamond mines in the world. It is believed that within the mind are over 90 million carats worth of rough diamonds. They?re contained within three main kimberlite pipes, otherwise known as ore deposits. While the pipes at this mine are considered small, the quality of the diamonds contained within the pipes is above average. The mine is so large, in fact, the owners have built their own private airport at the site. Mining began at the site in 2003 and is expected to continue for at least 15-20 years, if not longer.

7 Sinkhole in Guatamela

In February of 2007, a sinkhole in Guatamela collapsed, killing two children as their home, and dozens of others, were swallowed into the pit. The blame for this astoundingly large hole was placed on a ruptured sewer pipe.

The earth is capable of producing plenty of wonderful and natural anomalies. Take a look around and, if you?re in the area, stop by to see one of these incredible sites.
