I am thrilled...am excited and anxious to get my hands on the latest denim material. Lovers, denim is trending right now. After reading it from the fashionista bible- Harper's Bazaar, I might as well be spotted wearing one sometime soon.

My Kiprotich

After 40 years of watching other countries take gold home, Uganda was well represented at the Olympics. It was quite a defining moment, tears rolled down my face as the Anthem played. So many of us had lost hope of seeing gold being brought back home but Stephen Kiprotich has done us proud.

And now, this will go down in History- the last Anthem played at the Olympics....Shikamo (I kiss your feet) Kiprotich...you have done us proud.

My Matooke!

Matooke is a staple food for the Baganda, a tribe found mainly in Central Uganda. This steamed Plantain is also the backbone of many Agriculturalists in Central and Western Uganda.

Matooke Plant

There are many ways of preparing matooke but the most common way is to wrap it in fibre and leaves and then steam it. You can also slice this in tiny pieces and have tasty fries...

One way of preping Matooke is by steaming it!

Tasty with beef,fish,Groundnuts and my fave..peas...:)

I have seen my brothers in Bukoba enjoying a meal with matooke too, making it an East African fave.

Matooke with peas!

Tip; Matooke is a very delicate food. Treat her like a tender lady and voila! you'd nail it!

My Africa...:)

Hey lovers of all things beautiful,
In a few weeks time, my Country (Uganda) is going for the big FIVE OH!!! Ho ho..and we are looking forward to grab Gold!

As we head towards the celebrations, I will introduce a few aspects of Ugandan Culture, the peoples, tribes and figures, who have made history and continue to create an impact in our lives. I aced History so this is a walk in the park...we should all enjoy. I will also throw in a pinch of that unstructured Esi art and about vibe on spontaneous aspects. I've coined the phrase "My Africa" just so that you can step into my world on this tour...

So, lovers of all things beautiful.
A few weeks ago we(my pal and I) finally ticked one thing off our bucket list-Bungee Jumping!
Yes! This was quite ecstatic and fulfilling I wanted to do it again!
44Meters of adrenalin fun and then poooowwww into the Nile! Felt really cool after (I slept like a baby that night) but my neck hurt still (from before) so...well...was still worth it.
Now we looking forward to ticking off all those items on the bucket list and can't wait to go diving sometime this year. In the mean time,I am polishing my skills at a pool not far from home.
Cheers beautiful people-Go make your dreams come true :)

Wishing you Peace and Love,
