Stock Take - September - 04

It's Saturday and it has hit me just now that I didn't do this week's stock take. It's been hectic but I just got to settle a few hours ago.
Well,  as we watch the premier league, let's settle down to this,

Reading : Nothing at the moment. Took a break for newspapers. Will resume next week.

Watching : Currently watching man United play Sunderland. Over the week I've watched lots of shows that, sn 1 of blood,  sweat n heels,  Hollywood divas sn 2, baby daddy sn 2.

A saying goes that if you are a reader you get to travel with the characters and have their experiences. That's why reading has become one of my best pass times.

Wassup people, hope you keeping off the Nairobi heat.

Reading : As I write this, I have just concluded reading Dan Simmons 'Fires of Eden'. It is an interesting read but a bit too detailed on history which I don't like. But it's intriguing talking about ghosts living in volcanic mountains in Hawaii. And a line in there goes,  Trumbo looked at the little woman as if she had began talking in Swahili. I like it when some writers touch close home.

Watching : The Haves And the HaveNots. Addictive. Le mr has been late for work twice because we watched this till late in the night and slept past the alarm. Lol. All good though.

 "Enthusiasm is excitement with inspiration, motivation and a pinch of creativity" - Bo Bennett

I have had a great week. Though a bit lazy compared to last week.

But here we are and I am super duper excited about this new post. And super duper excited about some of the things I will share with you soon when they come to fruition. Can't wait.

Kicking off,

Reading : I just finished reading 'Four to Score' by Janet Evanovich. This is the fourth book in a series with the lead character Stephanie Plum who is a bounty hunter. I loved it!!

Googling : Handbags.. The obsession is real.

JS02 - Necklaces for Necklines

          "I'm a big believer that accessories can make or break a look" - Nina Garcia

Hello everybody,

Necklaces are great accessories that most people throw on without a second thought. Have you asked yourself why we have pendants, chokers, bibs, chains, etc?

It's because each has it's purpose and time to be worn.

Below is an image of the different necklines that come with most outfits.

To accessorize each neckline,

            "Change can be scary, but you know what's scarier? Allowing Fear to stop you from Growing, Evolving and Progressing"  - Mandy Hale

A lot of change is about to happen in my life and my routine and a lot of things. I am scared of all the changes and this quote is all I needed to pick myself up and inject a triple dose of confidence to ensure that I grow, evolve and progress.

Kicking off this week's series:

Reading: The Cousins by Rona Jaffe. A book that focuses on cousins and their families and how their parents always emphasized on them living together an running family businesses and how the children finally married and scattered all over getting together only when necessary mostly during funerals. It also touches slightly on a spouse cheating on their partner and the partner retaliating on the same and realizing it's not worth it.

MDA WISHLIST

Everyone has those things that they really want and other people can't seem to really understand the obsession. BUT ... Never apologize for your obsessions.   As long as they hurt nobody.

Here are mine..

1. Speed Bike

This has been an obsession for a very long time. I can picture myself cruising at top speed all 'armored'  then stop and remove my helmet and flip my hair. Yes. That's my motivation towards achieving this goal.

I want a Kawasaki in green, grey or black and white. Can't choose. Can someone buy several 'bodies' of it and be changing once in a while?

Don't forget about the gear!!! Classic!!!!

2. Designer Bags

My love for handbags surpasses my love for any other accessory. A few years ago jewellery would have been taking this position; but after having lots of it and not feeling like all chunky this time, handbags win big time.

It takes a lot of saving for some of us to be able to afford the bags in designer(knock offs are plenty in the market) but we got to deal with the 'inspired' versions of the real stuff.

Looking to owning the YSL, LV, CC, Chloe, Givenchy, Dior, the list is endless.

Stock Take - August - 04

My birthday month is coming to an end. It's a surprise I did not eat lots of cake this month compared to other months.. But boy.. Did I gobble down those fries.. I need to get something healthy to eat in place of fries every time I have the urge to eat them.. For now watermelons do the trick but fries overpower them sometimes..

Kicking off the last stock take of the month.

Reading: This is a very interesting book. The setting is in Botswana and I like the way the writer describes scenes until you can picture them in your mind. This is the beauty of experiencing places without having to travel. The reading power. And more exciting is the fact that Nairobi is mentioned several as a very developed city. The book is "No.1 Ladies Detective Agency" by Scottish author Alexander McCall Smith. It is a series of books and this is the first one so I am looking forward to getting my hands on the rest of them.
