Reminiscing My Bikini Journey.

Hello beautiful confident souls , its been such a long long time coming in here. It’s been crazy , as you’ll have noticed I moved the blog to a website now .It’s been a challenge manoeuvering around but awesome progress and still learning.

It’s a hard time to be back the whole world is battling Covid-19 and uncertainty looms all around us. Everything has been on a slow grind but I choose to take one day at a time being grateful , counting my blessings , being present and living in the moment while staying at home.
This whole thing has taken me back and made me see life from a total different spectrum. I am so overwhelmed with gratitude , happy to be alive , healthy and breathing in this very moment .More so I am happy with the path that my life took and how it was starting to shape up and I look forward to following it all up with so much boldness , courage, passion kindness ,zeal ,tenacity ,hope, love and confidence.

The one thing that strikes me the most is where actually my whole confidence journey & resolve got ignited. That very first time I wore a bikini , I was ashamed , uncomfortable & judged my body so much . I was so uncomfortable to take part in the photoshoot it took hours and a cover up that enabled that shoot.
I was so self aware of my body and self but all in the wrong manner , the way I tore myself apart in my head , my thoughts and feelings . The Way I didn’t appreciate myself , the way I had so much that I wanted to change myself not knowing how Kickass , gorgeous , beautiful ,one in a lifetime person I am and was.

I wondered now how wrong I was for all of this thoughts , how I teared myself apart . I realized that I was in a Journey all is more clear than ever before ,I know different how enough I am by giving myself , my body all the love , & care that I didn’t give it back then and even more.

I appreciate everything it took to realize that I AM ENOUGH .Late last year I took part in a beauty pageant dubbed ” Let’s talk about African Models” , It was such an eye opener and “aha” moment for me . I had grown so much , with so much confidence , NO SHAME at all at in who I am & every single part of my body every moment on that stage my love , confidence and courage was oozing I was completely sold.

Every walk every pave I made it didn’t matter whether it was perfect or not that was enough . Seeing myself in my ankara bikini & floral cover up I was so happy my soul was dancing in every angle , I Could feel my body telling me thank you , thank you for loving me back into knowing every part of me matters & I’ll never be ashamed nor tear my body down. Nor will I ever allow anyone or anybody’s standard dictate what my body shall look like , I feel it’s beautiful I adorn it
I am honouring every part of self & any space that wants to take that away from me I completely shun it off my life. And now it’s bikini for life , every single day all day Bikini Queen👸🏽💋.

Taking Time off

It’s been a rollercoaster last few months ,
so much has been going on since the last time I penned something down, procrastinating self care is a ticking time bomb it’s been a century 😂. For the first time in a long time I took time off literally , all social media just to be.

It was long forthcoming , muting everything , temporary suspension of accounts for longer days I couldn’t be bothered with my phones , self care and the self took center stage with a lot of introspection. Lots of my time I spent alone , with loved ones , super close ones would call and check up while the rest of my time I just soaked myself in rest.
The gym my safe space I took a bit time off before resuming with a regular routine as I found my way around my regular regimen. I had for a few days fell out and couldn’t be bothered at all , its normal and okay no need to beat yourself up I resumed with so much vigour , passion and clarity within after a much needed rest.
During this time off I feel in love with word puzzles which is crazy awesome . It was funny how much time I created while keeping my brains at work despite resuming online I still find myself and the word puzzles hanging out talk of my new brain game exercise.
I found myself again it’s a never ending journey and rekindled my love for things that I thought I had outgrown which was really stupid as this small joys were what added zest and life to me..
It didn’t matter that I wasn’t perfect all that mattered was that the joy and happiness it caused inside me .
I realized in the depth of my core that learning and perfection of skills takes super long , super angry crazy times to fail or feel like y’all am throwing this whole learning process out of the window. Nothing tests your courage, zeal , patience and passion like learning something that people constantly tell you how good you are at it . That shit hits really hard when many times you can’t master and remember a single thing . But here’s the thing patience , love , kindness, time and taking time off helps a zillion in the process

The thing about taking time off will look and sound selfish but its indeed it’s worth it and if it is selfish so be it self care comes first.

Everyday every single minute you have an opportunity to zone out , reboot and try again .

Most important I reminded and reaffirmed myself to be able to see own efforts in even the slightest possible way , that growth and clapping for myself within my own journey and race truly is my everyday defining moments. All this moment add up to this wonderful self that I chase and accomplish every single day .

The Magic Of Black Leather .

Nairobi always has a special unmoved place in my heart,NairoBae though I dislike passionately the cold weather .Mombasa my current love for the last 6 years now, the weather is just superbly amazing. Imagine the difference when I travelled carrying with me just a scarf.

Shock on me the cold didn’t spare me it actually devoured every inch of my skin I literally had to raid my pals wardrobe luckily we are the same size she loves loves leather, I found my perfect fit. For this specific day I was meeting up with an amazing talented poet and photographer Sami Khan. It was one of those random days I didn’t feel like putting an effort to look all styled up or dolled up .

Within seconds I was rushing out having just powdered my face, lip gloss and nude matte lipstick on. Got to town and I realised damn I forgot to wear my earrings I got into a boutique shop and this rounded red earring just caught my eyes 😍 love at first sight. I was running late for our meeting, I dashed out heading to Java Nation Centre.

It seems Leather jackets is the legit cold weather combat as he was also dressed in one . We touched base on his works most especially his recent published Photo and poet book and yes I got my own copy out of the blues he suggested we go for a shoot.

My mouth literally fell on the floor, how could I go for a shoot unprepared , looking like all this normal laid back me. I didn’t feel pretty enough for a shoot, this was one of those days when a female just didn’t feel pretty enough to be in front of a camera.

Let’s just say I just had to go for the shoot to close the year with a bang and be like let’s see how this “meh” will look like in front of a camera. Three hours later after the shoot I was looking at the photos with gushing eyes and all smitten.

Mind you, all this photos are as raw as I felt ,it was just awesome and the perfect reminder that in all our rawness and fear beauty can still be seen as it oozes from deep within up.

Now I know what I want for my birthday, a black leather jacket and another pair of black leather like jeggings 😉😉😉.
