I’d said I’d start waking up early today. Well that didn’t happen😂. As a matter of fact, I snoozed my alarm more than I’ve snoozed it in the past one month. Hear me out tho’. I still I’m yet to recover from the weekend😭. It’ll take a while, before I do.

Today I’m so happy. Happy about a couple of things. I’m quite happy about my body. I’ve been looking at myself much more lately and whoosh, me I’m a beaurri! I can feel myself losing weight and in as much as that was not in my plans, I appreciate that. I’ve been doing some long walks recently, and that is probably what’s contributing to my weight loss as well as toning my body. I’m elated to be winning this much at achieving my body goals, without going out of my way to get there (read without having to sign up for daily gym sessions).

I have never liked taking photos of myself. Ironically, the few times I’ve had my photos taken, they’ve always come out so beautifully. I had never thought much about this, until on Saturday. I found myself unconsciously taking photos with everyone else, but never for a moment did I pose for a me pic. That really disturbed me because I honestly don’t think it’s normal. Since then I’ve been reflecting a lot and trying to figure out what might have caused that. I was sure that was an ingrained habit that stemmed from somewhere.

Through my pre-teen years to my teen years to my first two young adulthood years, I really struggled with an acne-prone skin. I’m quite convinced that that struggle has a lot to do with me not taking photos of myself. The acnes were always so huge, that they would steal the show on all my photos. That must have caused so much trauma that I didn’t take time to unpack then, and it is now showing itself.

Anyway, I’m quite happy with the progress on my face and I can’t wait to start investing in facials. One thing I’ve promised myself is that I won’t be a make-up girl. I have no idea how make-up is applied and I won’t try to learn how to. I feel stepping out with my face as natural as it is, will be the best way I’ll reward it for the struggle it’s been through. That and investing in a really good skin-care routine. Of course I currently have a good skin-care routine but these routines can always be improved.

Today I woke up early. I’m proud of the lady I’m becoming, please😂. I just hope I’ll keep up with this habit because as I said earlier, waking up late is the gherro!
I have this week’s blog post ready. If you didn’t read it, click here. That makes me so happy because as I type this I am not under any pressure. This is the life mahn😭! This is probably a gentle reminder to me, by the universe that procrastination is the gutters!

I love how I’m not struggling to write, nowadays. It’s happening sub-consciously and I’m here for all that. In that spirit, let me start typing a post that will probably be published in June😂.

I never thought I’d live through a weekend with extreme experiences i.e extremely happy moments and extremely sad moments. Anyway, I’m now fully back to normal routine -never mind that it’s almost the weekend again😂.

You probably are wondering whether I managed to keep up with the ‘early-risers’ club. Imagine I didn’t. Haki bado nastragoo😭. I however I’m taking strides in what I believe is the right direction to getting to my goal of consistently waking up early.

My February read has been James Clear’s Atomic Habits. This book was really meant for me because since I started reading it, I’ve been carefully tracking my habits. If you still haven’t created time to read it, this is your cue to grab a copy. I’m now looking for suggestions for my next read. My budget currently allows me to spend a maximum of kes.1,000/= for that. Send me suggestions around that price point. Actually, I have a few of them in mind. Lakini send suggestions bado.

This morning I was thinking about my future. I realize I have such huge ambitions, I can’t wait to actualize them. Merely thinking about how I want my future to look like, made me look forward to working towards it. I really believe that my purpose on earth is to improve and transform my community.

Yesterday’s date was cute. Ati what are such dates called, again? I’d planned to take a screenshot of my lockscreen at 2222hrs, but at that very minute I got carried away by something else and only remembered the screenshot at 2225hrs. The pain😭! I however see some of you did take screenshots, eh must have been nice😏.

My birthday is exactly 4 months away, today. One thing about me, I’ll make my birthday a big deal. You know how newly engaged babes go out of their way to talk about their rings, now that’s how frequently and randomly I will be talking about my birthday. From now, you’ll only hear the end of it after June, especially if I interact with you a lot😂. Kwanza I have a whole birthday weekend plan this year. I was listening to TMI this morning and Murugi said “For me birthdays are a huge deal. I expect the world to stop and let me celebrate it.” Heh me and that babe tuko same wozzap.

On Saturday I asked for a ‘just me’ photo, guys!😭 Today I received that photo and wawuu 🔥. I clearly I’m making good progress as per 15th’s entry, and I’m here for it all. Look at this 🤤

PS: I need another black dress. A stretchy, long and body-hugging dress will do. T.I.A 😌.
