Surprises' World

  I want to see the matrix falls all around me and my truth comes to life I want to live in the fields of green and yellow and pink I want to sing with the birds and the bees with the waters and the wind I want to explore beyond all boundaries and boarders within and without I want to heal with the plants and the trees and the earth and the skies I want to experience the oneness that is the universe and all its things I want to see the matrix falls all around me and my truth comes to life 😗

It's been a while since I put my thoughts into words. So let's journal😂. The wheels in my head have been at a constant acceleration mode. It is official, I tend to over think a lot. You would think that I would be at a full understanding of this part of my mind by now lakini heh!  I have been very careful with my choice of words for this post. Because I am intentionally working towards separating the 'I' from 'self'. Illustration, when you observe something or someone that makes you feel angry or happy or sad, you are not angry or happy or sad, you feel  that way but you are not that way. Which brings me to the whole point of when the bough breaks... (complete the proverb, 3 mrks) For the longest I have prided myself as a perfectionist. It has always been the one thing that I have to mention as a strength, as well as a weakness. However, I still did not have the realization I have now.  Hear me out; what are the odds that I need to think and act a certain way t...

  It's been overwhelming 😶‍🌫️😮‍💨 to say the least But it has also been exhilarating 🫠 Here is to the preparation of the planting szn🐢🐉

 You see those overripe bananas that you just find hard to get down your throat, you do not need to throw them. We are not wasteful here. Ripe bananas are a very versatile fruit. You can make banana bread (recipe coming up very soon) or you can use it for skin, which is our focus today. It is a very easy DIY face mask.  How to... In a bowl place a peeled banana. Using a fork, mash it until consistent. Optional; add in a quarter teaspoonful of turmeric powder.  * personally I prefer the fresh turmeric, pound it like ginger and add it to your banana. * this process can get messy if you are clumsy, so does the application process. do not forget that turmeric stains fabric. Benefits of banana on skin. 1. Moisturizes and hydrates skin. even from the texture, you can just tell that the mask is very hydrating. this is because of the potassium in it.  2. Maintains skin elasticity. The banana mask nourishes the skin and restores strength thus smoothing out aging skin. With t...

All-natural everything, huh? So when I plaited my braids my scalp was a little bit itchy, and I don't know why. Since products are pricey I decided to go back to what I had learned during the lockdown. Rosemary is quite affordable around where I stay, so that is what I went with. And it's fresh too. I wish I took pictures of the whole process, next time I will. But thank goodness it's not that complex nor with a lot of steps. So I guess this short article will do just fine.   Benefits of rosemary for your hair (from my experience). 1. Relieves irritated scalp. I have sprayed the rosemary water on my scalp for close to a week and a half now, everyday and it is no longer itchy. Rosemary water is refreshing to your scalp and hair, as much as it is aromatic thus good for aromatherapy- which is a plus. Aaaand, you can also use it to soothe dry, flaky scalp and dandruff . 2. Increases sheen. You know there is a difference between sheen and shine. there are times that you can loo...

February... uweeeeeh. Hata sio February tu, I guess ni 2022. You know that time you are chilling on your phone ukiview status, internet inabuffer so it's just pass, pass, be patient a little, pass. Then there is a particular status or story that catches your attention. And you just want to knooooow, you have to know. So you choose to wait for it to load. At first, you view it out of curiosity. Then you start replaying it, and you replay it, and you replay it. You are in denial, a little bit of the green monster.  FOMO then hits you hard. You start comparing. If you are like me, it calls for a deep dive into the internet🧐. You want to know how often does the particular situation happen in their life. And you want to find out what it is they do that you do not. It becomes a whole lingering, in most cases overbearing, feeling that just eats you from the inside. Unfortunately, we more often than not let it take over us. I vowed to be very intentional this year. Have I been handed a ru...

"I'm working on consistency." I have really been trying. You know those instances when a bulb lights up in your head and your like I should try to note this down. So I rush to my phone and type a draft, hoping to get back to it as soon as possible. Ooooooops, three weeks later I get back to it and I'm not feeling as I was in that light bulb moment, so I end up deciding to put it off.  Today, I was on a mission to overthink some more about my life🙃. I was questioning my intention for this blog. And I ended up filling my head with so much doubt. I was wondering how come I only want to write about the things I write about (I honestly could not find a word to best describe the things I write). I was so close to reverting the recipes that I have already posted🤦🏿‍♀️ and also changing the introduction to the blog, but then I got a bit of clarity before I could go through with it.  For some reason, I thought that I would end up being monotonous, and I do NOT want this expe...

Alexa, play breathin' by Ariana Grande. Some days, things just taaake  Way too much of my energy ... Is it just me or is the air in the country fresher, the sky higher and the ground easier to walk on- Caucasian Chalk Circle nostalgia😂😂. Honestly though, what's all that hustle in the city about!! It's just too exhausting.  The excitement that gets me when I hear birds chirp is just exhilarating, the smell of fresh grass early in the morning as the dew evaporates, the smell of fresh soil, the calming wind in the trees. Wachana na vumbi huwa nakula kila siku nikikimbia class* major face palm. Truth be told, I would choose the country over the city through all the lives that I get to live. The peace that I get from being upcountry is unmatched. I really enjoy the lifestyle and the calm vibrations it holds. I am always recharged. And oooh, do I need a recharge.  I just need to breath *long deep breath. Reset. Find my bearing. Manifest too, at my most tranquil state and surr...
