Breakfasts in Cambodia. #100daysfhealthybreakfasts

Image
Hi lovelies, I am sure some of you have seen the hashtag #100happydays OR #100daysofhappiness going around facebook, pinterest and instagram (and am sure twitter too). The 100 happy days project started as a challenge I  guess and was made popular by people who took up the challenge. There was a little controversy/issues with some people who thought the challenge was to try and be 100% happy for the whole 100 days. I think that is absolutely impossible. I think the idea behind it is to find one thing everyday that made you happy. It could be small things like your morning coffee, lack of traffic etc to large things like taking a trip etc. Anyway I did not do this challenge since one of my New Year's resolution in 2014 was to appreciate things in my life more and more and complain less. And anyway I noticed that some people took this 100 happy days thing as an excuse to basically brag and gloat all over social media lol. So I came up with my own 100days challenge :) I was going ...

ESSIE Fashion Show.

Image
Hi lovelies, so last week Tuesday I went to a fashion show at CodeRED. I had fun. Cambodia's Fashion Scene is getting bigger and more diverse every year. When I first got here (a million years ago) there was barely a fashion scene, but now there's been more and more Fashion Shows/ Fashion related events such as the Designer's week, Cambodia Fashion Week and let's not forget the (now annual) Glamazon Fashion Event  which is created by  The dollhouse  at NagaWorld. There's more and more designers who are doing a pretty good job, and who are taking every opportunity there is to show case their work and to open up their stores/boutiques, there's a few international brands setting up shop in Phnom Penh etc etc. There was a red carpet at the entrance :) Now, I am not a very stylish person (some people would say I have zero style seeing as am always in flat shoes/flip flops, tights and flowy tops) but sometimes Cambodia does that to you ...ok I wasn't ...

NIghts Out in Phnom Penh: Ladies night at CodeRED.

Image
Hi lovelies, I went to my first ladies night at codeRED last Thursday and I loved it. They have really cool deals and specials for ladies night. First off, all cocktails are half price for ladies, slashed from $4.50 to $2.25...awesome ay? Then every group of five or more ladies gets a FREE bottle of vodka or whiskey! Say whaaaattttt?(You pay for the mixers though) Yes, that's a really good deal :D BUT since it's Thursday, it's a little tricky to convince your girls to go out clubbing..unless your friends are like my friends and love a good party :) My ladies ready to #turnup                                                                                                         Initially there was only four of us ...

Weekend in Singapore.

Hi lovelies, hope you are doing well. Thank you for all the emails at krazykenyan@yahoo.com to check up on me and to talk about my last  post . Thanks for all the kind words, it warms my heart :) Oh btw who watched the Nigeria vs Argentina match yesterday? Whoooa my friend organised a group of Africans-mostly  Nigerians to go to Score Bar to watch it live, and again I had so much fun watching it!! Although they lost 2:3, they played quite well. It was an awesome night :) Today I want to do a quick catch up post about when I went to Singapore for a weekend last year. It will be short but picture heavy :) I find Singapore a very interesting country. It is quite small, one of the smallest countries in the world, and I also find the fact that it went from being a third world country to a first in literally about 50 years quite mind boggling! Singapore is very modern, I knew this before I went, but I was not prepared for what I saw. The first thing you notice is the airport. ...

Racism in Cambodia/Nights Out in Phnom Penh: Being asked to pay the bill at Gunpoint + Being turned away from Pontoon Nightclub

Image
Hey lovelies, so yeah, remember when I said I'll be writing a series titled 'Nights out in Phnom Penh' just to give an idea of what the expat night life in PP is like? Yeah well last night my friends and I had a not so awesome night out. I really wish this post was about the awesome night out I had last Saturday  (14th June), my friends and I went bar hopping before ending up at CodeREd Nightclub where the  Stanton Warriors  were playing that night- Epic night by the way.                                                                    I really wish this post was about last Wednesday (18th June) where I attended an event called Laughing Out Loud, at the same venue- CodeREd-which was organised by my Nigerian friend and basically brought a lot of Africans and other expats (but mostly black Africa...
