Is Arsenal Out of The Champion’s League Already?

by on ·General, Small Talk

Football fans around the world have written Arsenal off even before the kick off whistle. If people’s opinions are stronger than our efforts then why do we try to succeed at all? Ben Carson against all manner of opinions proved that our efforts are stronger than peoples opinions as long as we don’t give up. How about Phyno? They said, “he won’t go far”, because “he is local” [connect] but today, being local trends more than anything. Michael Jordan didn’t get selected in his high school basketball team but he ended up being the greatest ever basket baller in history.…

YOUR SKIN + OLIVE OIL = ?

by on ·Beauty, DIYs, Lifestyle, Tips

Olive oil is really no stranger in today’s cosmetics industry, considering it’s a staple ingredient in many skin and hair care products on the market- ranging from body moisturisers to serums, eye creams, shampoos, lip balms, and many more. It’s easily accessible, relatively affordable, and is amazing when used on its own too as it is when added to products. It’s just one of those things that I never run out of, it’s always there, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the bedroom, just in case.  It is quite rich in naturally occurring vitamins like vitamins A, E and K, as well…

Worker Of The Year 2015

by on ·General, Lifestyle, Small Talk

I think this was one of the most difficult decisions that I had to make in 2015. How do I decide? Should it be the earliest person at work or one whose work requires the most physical efforts? Or one who may not necessary be the first at work but may have been thinking about a million and one ideas on their way to work and the moment they get to work, ideas flow for the team to run with? Or maybe the one who is just the most consistent It was really difficult for me to select from a…

Zodiac Signs – Month for Capricorn

by on ·General, Lifestyle, Small Talk

First of all happy belated birthday Gift! Zodiac signs are really interesting, even though not all descriptions are true. it’s however always scary for me whenever I wonder how at least 80% of the descriptions are true. I have been doing a lot of study on every member of my team because I think getting the best out of people requires understanding them to a certain degree. I honestly still believe that establishing a relationship with an individual gives the most accurate assessment of ones person or character but it is just fun to read people off a book. lol.…

Goodbye 2015

by on ·Lifestyle, Small Talk

2015 was actually a great year for Nkataa.com! It was a year where we laid a lot of foundations and stood on the bedrock of those foundations to look ahead. It was really weird how we lived 2015 in future mode, earnestly thinking about 2016 the whole time. All we did in 2015 was laying foundations for 2016, so as we wave goodbye to 2015 we excitedly welcome a new season. Last year came with a lot of challenges. We were always in motion – moving offices, moving orders, always moving. We established more organized set up though so things…

Much Ado About Water

by on ·Beauty, Drinks, Health, Lifestyle, Recipes, Tips

The feel of water on a parched tongue on a scorching afternoon -PRICELESS Being on the go almost 24/7 in this present age has led to a grab and go lifestyle. Think about it…we grab food, clothes, music, fast cars (okay…a bit carried away here) but somehow in the mix, it seems we have forgotten to grab water.  The unending argument of water being present in every meal is hardly a sound one. It’s true that water is present in perhaps all meals but the question here is, “How much is really enough?” The benefits of water seem to be…
