How Nkataa.com Saves Marriages

Marriage

I have had the privilege of getting to know our customers personally. One adorable couple that have gone from customers to friends is Abu and Aisha. I met them at a fair that Nkataa participated in.. I was next to our Nkataa.com stand when I saw this young looking married couple who looked so in love! So fresh, so clean, I could feel some goose bumps from the amount of love their presence emitted. I really wanted to be the first to talk to them. I wanted to ask, “What’s the secret of your marriage? Because I want to know.…

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…

YOUR MEDS AND YOUR WAIST

by on ·Health, Lifestyle

Do you know that up to 15% of issues relating to weight are associated with certain medications? It’s not one of those things that frequently come to mind when you are taking your regular tablets I know but here are some of the most famous culprits:   ANTIDEPRESSANTS: Generally speaking, a majority of antidepressant medications have weight gain as a “possible” side effect. But to be honest, as different as we all are, our bodies respond differently to different medications. In other words, a certain antidepressant can cause Simbi to gain weight but not do the same with Titi. Having said that,…

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…

GREEK YOGHURT FOR SENATOR!

by on ·Intercontinental Recipes, Recipes

There is an almost-overwhelming amount of yoghurts available on the market today but Greek style yoghurt definitely stands out in that compared to regular yoghurts, it is strained substantially to get rid of a majority of the “liquidy” bits including whey, lactose, sugars and so on. So in the end, you’re left with a thicker, creamier version of yoghurt with a more zesty taste that’s less sweet, in addition to all the protein goodness (double that of regular yoghurt) and only a fraction of the calories! Lower lactose levels mean lower risk of discomfort for our lactose- intolerant counterparts and…
