Creative Minds

Hey Guys,

Hope you have been well. Been busy running errands before places close for the Christmas break. Anyway passed by Sarit yesterday for a meeting. I noticed a beautiful metal-made tree at the parking lot and such things make me happy because it shows the level of creativity we have in our local market. Anyway, here goes.....

Green and Beautiful

Hey Guys,

Hope you have been well. I have had one SUPER LONG week dealing with cops and all! Anyway, after all that, my hubby and I took a drive to Limuru. It was just perfect. It was soo green and beautiful. Maybe it was extra green because of all the recent rain, but hey it was beautiful. These are just a few of the pictures I took.

"Throughout Africa, women are the primary caretakers, holding significant responsibility for tilling the land and feeding their families. As a result, they are often the first to become aware of environmental damage as resources become scarce and incapable of sustaining their families."
In the course of history, there comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other."

- Wangari Maathai's Nobel Lecture, delivered in Oslo, 10 December 2004.

DIY- Easy access for your Belts!!

Hey Guys,

Hope you had an awesome weekend...Well I am still in bed, having a lazy Monday. I had the chance to do some organizing over the weekend and thought of sharing about my new belt rack. I am one of those people who love DIYs and was a bit fed up of having my belts so disorganized (My OCD had gone to over drive!!!!). So this is how I created my belt rack:

1.  I got two metal hangers, the soft and easy to bend ones.

2. I made one into a circular shape and passed it through a rubber tube. (The point of doing this is because I have many belts and the tough rubber tube will offer stability to the weight of the belts while the hanger inside will manipulate the shape of the rubber to be circular- any shape works.)

3. After passing the hanger into the rubber, I tied both loose ends together.

4. I then used the second hanger by undoing the hanger BUT leaving the hook part intact.

5. The two loose ends of the second hanger is then tied to any two points of the circular base already made.

6. Finally!!! Somewhere you can access a specific belt without removing 20 others just to get to that one.......

Having said and done, there are other options for belt racks...e.g.) you could use coat hooks or plastic hooks or even have a drawer in a wardrobe specifically for them.. The choice is yours. Have a great week!!

Well...maybe its because it was a dramatic/ hilarious day...My aunt sent me to pick sandals from this maasai market guy who was actually delivering them to me then i drop them at her house..The guy got busted by CCN for posing+ looking like a hawker and the paper bag full of shoes didn't help :) So had to go  bail him out and that was just drama...Enough said.....
