The lucky Break.

Procrastination is a disease and by all means today I have been tossed out of it. To do this post. I am convincing my mind that I can do this before I call it a day. I’m gonna take this moment to ask you to kindly bear with me if this post doesn’t make sense to you but please I’m hoping I drive my point home. Sit on tight.

We all have struggles dreams and ambitions, right? Some of us dream and keep sleeping while there are those among us who dream and work on it to the last detail. No matter how fast or slow one is working on it, it’s commendable because you are lapping that person on the couch. Keep going. I believe everyone has a lucky break; big or small it’s still a lucky break. In my theory, this is when God pays you for how much you have tried; the rejection, sleepless nights, blood, sweat and tears. The more you try, the bigger your break.

If you are wondering what I’m getting to, I’m talking about people like Justin Bieber, Psy, Otonglo et al. (Why we no have women? Ok.) At his 30’s Psy managed to take the world by storm and his YouTube views flew off the charts. Bieber had been in the game for a while, singing in the park and all then he got his big break he was in his teens. Our very own version of a big break David “Otonglo” Owira has become the envy of his peers when he confidently warmed and tickled many doing something he loves.

I’m wondering how many people out there who are on their bum asking “tunaomba sirkali” to bath and cloth them. I do not know anyone who did their work diligently and got all doors slammed on their faces. Of course some doors will slam shut especially when you are starting. How much resilience you put in is the fuel that will get you there. Do you know if we were getting paid to sleep we would find it hard to do that? Trust me, and I’m sure you agree with me.

And then there is the flip side of this lucky break and all. When you get famous but it’s more or less ridicule. People like Rebecca Black, the whole world went ham on that little girl for just trying to do her thing. Fine, I agree that the song hardly made sense, ok, it did but it was like a nursery rhyme on a wasted feel good beat. I didn’t like the song but I still sing along to it especially the bridge where they go “R.B Rebecca Black”. Then we have Susan Mirfat the lady from Tujuane, she trended worldwide just for that scripted show and had meme’s for days.

Most probably when you encounter the flip side of fame you are likely to go into depression as people attack you in the most brutal way possible. Ooh no, I have never wanted to be that girl, I hate when people stare so if that happens to me I’d probably go to my shags and live under a rock where people don’t use internet and probably only 30% have TV and watch it.

My point being, when you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again. Take it positively and bounce back. I mean look at people like Oprah, she got fired from a major TV job and now she could fund that same network for years. And if there is much rejection in the things you do, you are on the right track. because winners lose much more than losers.

“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. -Henry David Thoreau”

Weave Business

Weaves might have been the best invention for most women since sliced bread but I cannot help but disagree with how they have come to define the modern woman. Out of ten women in Africa today, nine are hiding their natural hair beneath weaves and I think it’s time we should toss them in the bin where they belong and leave horses tails alone.  Isn’t that where they come from?

They are technically fixed in six ways but ill cut down to the ones we are all familiar with; bonding, which happens to be very expensive, lace extensions that are equally expensive and the most common and quite pocket friendly, weaving.

Bonding takes hours to fix your natural hair to the synthetic weave and is done with some type of glue that doesn’t easily let the two separate but at the time of removal if your hairdresser is impatient; oh boy! You will be balder than you were trying to cover initially. The glue also damages your skull and hair roots. Choose wisely.

Both hair and skull are supposed to be cleaned regularly. Do you know how long some of us out here put on weaves for? Four months!! There was a particular teacher in primary school that had hers for that long. And I know she is not alone. It might be working for you as cheap but remember cheap is expensive, so what happens is, bacteria builds up beneath and causes a number of things including severe dandruff and lice.

Natural hair is easy and cheap to maintain and I ask again why do we have to dig up thousands of shillings from our pockets to get a weave? Then there is the fixing part where if your hairdresser goes one direction wrong you will be grumpy and get it removed in less than 5 seconds. 

Save yourself the misery and go natural.

Have or die: THE DUDE

1.       Shoes: These speak volumes about any man. Be careful when choosing them and make sure they are comfortable, presentable and express who you are. You must have an official pair and a casual one (sneakers, canvas, espadrilles, oxfords, etc- crocs don’t count) don’t wear anything anywhere. It’s an unforgivable fashion crime.

2.       Belt: Men cannot escape owning a good quality belt since you guys have to wear them even with your pyjamas. Ensure you have a neat and quality belt that doesn’t send out mixed signals about you.

3.       T-shirts: A must have for any man who cares about image. They come in handy for most casual occasions. Choose a colour that suits you well but you will never go wrong with a plain white or black one as you can pair them up with any jeans and look great.

4.       Well cut jeans: Note, I didn’t say just jeans I insist on well cut jeans that look good on you and you can rock them anywhere anytime. No funny colours or designs like drop-crotch pants, people don’t get them so just stay out of them if you don’t have the confidence to stand the looks of those who don’t get your sense of fashion.

5.       Khaki pants: Since men are short of variety, a pair of khaki pants would do if you don’t want people from your neighbourhood cramming your dress code. Pair them with a nice black polo shirt and matching shoes for a casual look or a short sleeved black shirt for an official look.

6.       Suit: boys, you cannot escape these. You cannot go for a job interview in jeans and t-shirt, if you know what’s good for you, go get yourself a presentable fitting suit. Preferably a black, charcoal gray or navy blue. Stripped ones can work too.

7.       Accessories: A watch and sunglasses. These are all a man needs to accessorize, so I will not spare any man who owns a cheap, sloppy watch or sunglasses for that matter. I mean if you have to have these, invest. A watch will give you class and sunglasses will not only switch up your look but say you have style.

I couldn’t walk around and raid people’s closets, but that’s all the help you can need to look suave and relevant at the same time. Strive to look good, it will work you miracles.

Have or Die: THE LADY.

Fashion has evolved so fast. It’s like we have different things trending in every blink of an eye. Most of us get lost while some get it wrong or just get left behind. In all that, we have to dress either way. There are those pieces a living young adult closet shouldn’t miss.

THE LADY.

 Being a woman isn’t one of the easiest things on earth I must say. But we are one of Gods most beautiful creations with the curves that make the world go round. Flaunting your strengths is not a request. A cautious woman closet shouldn’t miss:

1.       A dress:  A single colour (preferably black) dress that is semi-official. Meaning you can wear it both to work and an evening out without looking misplaced. If it has to, let it not be too tight or too short. All you need to know is accessorizing to fit the part.

2.       A neutral pair of heels/wedges: These should be black, beige or brown. Something that is not attention seeking by any chance. Leave white for church, the beach and weddings. They should be not too funky or too plain such that you would use them to switch up an outfit for an occasion that needs the elegance and of course work.

3.       Flat shoes: Plastic shoes do not count. They can be open or closed but should be able to go with almost anything in your closet. Comfort is priority here as heels can decide to torture. You can wear them to lectures and to functions like garden weddings or to the beach. You are allowed colour here. If you can afford to have a variety the better.

4.       Jeans: Who doesn’t own jeans? Why? This is essential; it’s like a magical little piece of cloth. Can be worn to most places and have you look good without even trying. Get a pair or two you are most comfortable with. Mostly, black or faded blue will do the trick.

5.       African print: With all this African madness taking the runway by storm, you cannot afford to miss anything African in your closet, from hair clips to skirts, jumpsuits, shorts, dresses to shoes. You can wear these authentic pieces to almost anywhere and standout without trying too hard.

6.       Accessories: This is your saviour. It doesn’t leave you an option. Good thing you can have a million of these to give you a different look when desired. Bangles, earrings, cocktail rings, sunglasses and neckpieces. Choose whatever tickles your fancy and make it work.

7.       Handbag: No need for explanations. You just cannot miss a good bag in your closet. It’s a crime I can have my grandmother sue you for. Have a neutral colour and just the right size. Preferably a tote bag as it’s the in thing.

D.O.B

I came across this article and couldnt help but share. Mostly because mine was nice and encouraging im a 9. relax and play about without having to leave your desk.
