24.
It’s my 24th birthday babbeeeeyyy! Celebrating a birthday amidst a global pandemic is obviously not ideal but we move, regardless. I do posts like this on every birthday so I can have something to look back on when i’m old and grey to remind myself of the year that was. I also do it as a way to reflect on the things i’ve learned and some of the wild shit i’ve done over the past 365 days. So…

HAIR.
When I was about 12 years old, after months of begging and being an annoying little shit, my mum finally allowed me to relax (chemically straighten) my hair and that was truly one of the worst decisions I ever made. Here’s why.
Growing up in a capital city and going to an international school meant that I was constantly surrounded by people from different backgrounds, different nationalities…

Living in a predominantly white country is wild. (Part 2)
Now that I’ve spoken about my own experiences, I thought I would ask friends of mine who have also lived in predominantly white countries if they have any stories to share. And honey, they do indeed.

So, I moved back to Melbourne about 7 weeks ago and being back here, although absolutely amazing, has reminded me about a lot of crazy shit. people say to me. Things that I just would not be asked back home. I’m going to split this blog post in to 2 different parts. One with my own experiences and one with experiences of my friends from all over the world! So here’s some of the crazy…

Diani New Years 2018/19
HAPPY NEW YEAR LOVERS!
We made it to 2019 everyone, hallelujah! I don’t know about you but for me, Christmas is for family and New Years is for fucking shit up with friends. And ummm, suffice to say, we did just that. Having spent the last 3 New Years Eves in Nairobi, we were all just so over it and planned a trip down to the coast to bring in the new year. Now, if you know anything about my…

Reflecting on 2018…
Hello beautiful people,
With 3 weeks left of the year (how CRAZY is that?), the time has come for me to reflect on the year that has been. When 2018 started, I had a completely different view of how the year would go. In my head, I was heading back to Melbourne for university in February and everything else that happened would work its way around that. Little did I know that 2018 would be the…

Not All That Glitters Is Gold.
Yes yes I have been silent for many months but you can blame that on the 9-5 working life I am currently living at my internship. I started this blog almost 5 years ago as a way to document the things happening in my life and to use it as a diary of sorts. Since then, my life has had many ups and downs and a lot of that has been documented here.
So like, I really thought 2017 was hard and then…
