Hi dear ones?

Such a cold day it is here today. Its been raining from last night and everywhere is wet and muddy. I am not complaining because i enjoy the cold weather which does not last long considering this town is always hot. This is also a good time for me to play around with colour hence this outfit post. i like the elegant look yet warm. What are your thoughts?

Have a good day and GOOD BYE OCTOBER and HELLO NOVEMBER :)

Taking 1 Minute - Highlight

Hi dear ones?

I thank God for the opportunity to see a new week. Boy am I glad the year is also coming to an end. Love the holiday season as this is the time I get to meet family members I have not seen in years. What are your holidays plans? Have you guys made any? (Or am I planning too early :))

Anyway, I had a long lovely weekend. On Friday I woke up to lovely scents of Swahili spices that filled the atmosphere as women cooked delicious dishes to celebrate Eid. Men,women and children rushed their way to the mosque for prayer and afterwards to celebrate the day. I got to meet friends I had not seen in a while at an Eid party.  We had a great time chatting and just feasting the afternoon away. There was lovely Swahili and Ugandan traditional food i.e. pilau, barbecued goat meat, chapatti, groundnut sauce, matooke, chicken etc. 

Saturday was beautiful as hubby and I headed to the capital city Kampala (which is 2 hours away) with Deidra and Joe for a double date day out. I have featured Deidra and Joe a couple of times on this blog. We had a great time as we were catching up and singing to lovely tunes as we drove away. We first started off by going to the movies to watch Sparkle. Now I must say I love this movie. It got me laughing, excited and crying a couple of times. I would definitely recommend this movie for watching.

Oasis Mall in Kampala, one good get away place with good shopping places and restaurants.

We enjoyed lunch at this lovely Italian restaurant called Mediterraneo Restaurant. I just loved the beautiful décor that was topped up with great customer care and lovely ambience of Italian music in the background. The food was scrumptious and the desert was heavenly. Let me just say I enjoyed myself.

Lovely dessert, Deidra would agree with me :)

Got gifted this lovely book mark from Deidra. Isn't it gorgeous? Thank you so much. It gives me the oomph to get more books to read ;)

PS: sorry for the picture quality, i used my phone to capture this, but i think it did a great job, though not compared to the professional camera.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Cook out :)

Hi guys!

Today am all smiles as it is a public holiday hence a long weekend.  How I enjoy kicking back and just relax through the days, although most of the time I end up getting something to do in the house. I always find myself getting a corner or room in the house that I want to work on in terms of putting order or redecorating. If it is in my room, I end up rearranging the room or color-coding the things in my closet. People who know me well know I cannot stay in disorder, I always find something to fix (which is not good all the time, I need to learn to just relax.)

Anyway, about today’s post, I know I have not posted on food before. I am meant to share with you some recipes of food I enjoy. I am not the best chef in town, but I can surely fix something good to put a smile on a hungry tummy. I cooked this yesterday after work for dinner. It is mashed potatoes, fish, plantain and carrot salad. I do my best in each meal to make it as healthy as possible hence I avoid over cooking food and try eating it in its natural state. So far I enjoy the food Uganda has to offer as you find food in its greenest form (if there’s something like that). I enjoy the huge pineapples, mangoes, carrots, and vegetables we buy from the market, which are also affordable as compared to other places, I have been.

Have a great weekend good people

High Low

Happy new week guys!

Time is flying by and I am exited the year is coming to an end. How was your weekend? What were you guys up to? I had an ok weekend filled with chores, doing hair and just having me time.

I feel like its been forever since I posted an outfit post. I wore this outfit yesterday to church and had the photo shoot hours later. I recently got this high low skirt and I couldn’t wait to explore it.

What do you guys think of my new hairstyle? I have not braided my hair this way for the past 5 years. It feels different and I am yet to play around and explore it.

I was feeling a little blue before this photo shoot and I am so happy to have Helga as my close friend and photographer.  She is the lady behind most of the beautiful pictures on my blog. By the time we finished the shoot, I had a big smile on my face. I am so grateful for the good friends I have in Uganda. They are all special and have embraced me and given me a lovely time in this country. Love you all.

Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy the week.
