Wambui Mukenyi

Wambui Mukenyi, a local Kenya designer, seems to really be taking her line to the next level. Having had a peek of some of her collections, through the online fashion blogs; I have narrowed down 3 pieces to add to my wish list:

Commonality

Consequence - Disperse

J. Cole - Sideline Story

Little Brother - Watch Me

What do they all have in common?

Clue: Listen to the bass lines.. 

They're variations of the same! :-p

Buni TV

Buni TV a mobile and web video platform officially launched in Nairobi on April 18th. Buni TV wants to become the premier destination for innovative, top-quality content made in or about Africa, be it films and short films, documentaries, television, animation or music videos. - African Digital Art


I love this initiative - we really need top-quality content to be promoted for Africa by Africa. Last week I had a taste of Africa Magic's new channel Africa Magic Entertainment which is a brilliant idea with great re-branding, the only thing that falls short is the quality of the content of some of the shows; and by this I mean the T.V. shows.
One show I have been watching is "Nonhle goes to Hollywood" - I like the concept and I can see a significant difference in the quality between episodes 2 and 3 for example - still room for improvement but great effort and A-plus for entrepreneurship, with Nonhle Thema as the Executive Producer and the show as a Nonhle Thema Production - well played!


As they say the future for Africa is content development - we have the tools, now let's work on the meat!


The following video (also on Buni TV) I have found to be pretty interesting - a documentary on the hip hop scene in Senegal.


Enjoy...

Oriflame

So my dad came home with some Oriflame catalogues the other day and suggested that we should sign up and buy products at a discounted rate; and try to sell as well. At first I was like hmm...okay I need to get to know these products first...how well do they work on African skin? In the past I have heard some mixed reviews about the product but I think to truly form an opinion, I need to try out the products for myself. 


So lately my skin has been a bit of a mess for my liking - dry and spotty (a true case of combination skin) - and unfortunately as a result of my trying to get rid of the spots, I have scars too. Anywho it's not too much of a train smash for me but if I can get my skin looking hydrated and "healthy," I would be quite happy to retire my foundation.


After browsing the Oriflame catalogue I have narrowed down my products of choice - The Acai and Pomegranate range from the Pure Nature Collection which according to the catalogue is for normal to combination skin:

Wish me luck!

Hold it Down

New one from Camp Mulla - I like the laid back vibe :)


Enjoy..

The Foreign Exchange

I've been listening to The Foreign Exchange over the past 3 weeks since my birthday. The duo comprises two of my favourite artists 'Phonte' and 'Nicolay'. In uni I just loved Phonte and his music as part of Little Brother with Rapper Big Pooh. The alternative soulful hip hop just got me! :) Nicolay I got to know of when I first heard 'Tight Eyes', his song with Kay.


Enjoy...

Something New

 Via: Abeena-Afrique

I'm on the hunt for something new; something to excite me. I have wrung everything out of my core blogs so have been on a "follow" mission today in search of new inspiration.

I'm also looking for something different...kinda feel like the african print / ankara novelty is wearing off for me. Don't get me wrong, I love african print / ankara and will definitely be getting more pieces but I now see such items as 'staples'.

I need something new to lust over..
