Mambowe Records Open Mic

22nd March was the very definition of a vibe for real. From the live music to meeting the prettiest girl friend group and making new friends, it was truly one of those nights fr. I went to support a friend for an open mic performance and it was better than I expected including such a variety of artists from different parts of the world and it was a very enjoyable experience that apparently happens every Friday so if you have a chance you should check it out. I also met the prettiest girl friend group and was able to vibe with them as well shoutout to them❤

Variety of drink options including different cocktails

The open mic was happening at Ayira's Neuro Soul Cafe, Kilimani which is a very pretty and lively location with a variety of different food and drink options. Earlier there was a paint and sip and I got to see some of the paintings done(videos will be uploaded on the blog's Instagram)and met with one lovely artist @aishajemila who did the amazing painting below.

The Perfect Hair Washday

You can also make it a full TLC day. Do a body scrub after to get that hair product off your body y'know.

I would say I am an enthusiast of true crime, y'know a normal amount( if you know me personally don't comment😅) Mostly because of curiosity I would say, wanting to know why people do what they do, and so far I've come across very interesting documentaries that all my true crime counterparts should check out. They have all the good components of a good documentary which I would list as good narration, interviews with family or people who knew the victims and if we are lucky, people who knew the perpetrator which it's always interesting to hear from their point of view. OK, enough yapping, onto the list! The Staircase ( Netflix ). Starting off strong with what I would consider to be my top 5 documentaries of all time. Murder or a tragic accident? I was quite surprised there was a discussion between the two after watching it. But I'll let you be the judge of that. ...
