It was Magic
I had an amaaazing weekend spent with family and close friends. Reminded me of how blessed I am to have such loving people around me.
Talking my cousin through what sort of pics I'd like her to take for my blog.
Isn't it awkward when you ask people to take pictures of you especially when they don't yet know about your blog???

TAG: Pastel Shmastel!
So excited to introduce my new 'fun thing' that I'll be doing on my blog! Makes my heart jump a little :)
To make ze bloggy a little more interactive I decided to introduce some sort of challenge where I tag some of my readers asking them to create something based on the theme I come up with. So for instance if the theme is pastels (which it is this week) you could either come up with an outfit, nail polish, flowers, artwork, picture - whatever really - in response to this theme! All I ask is that your response is original, i.e, your own! (can you tell just how excited I am through all these '!!!!' ?) It's meant to be a fun thing so if I tag you and you don't feel like it, don't do it. I'll just never talk to you again. Ever. And I know you'd care, like loads.
I kid I kid.
Really though, let it be fun and voluntary so if you'd rather not do it, no hard feelings!
The challenge will last throughout a week in which time you should either feature your response to this challenge on your blog or if you prefer, you could email it to me at thisisess12@gmail.com
If you would like me to tag you in the next round, please leave a comment below letting me know :)
So for today's challenge:
P.A.S.T.E.L.S.
Ooh baby, drop me some of that fun pastel why dontcha?
I tag:
I tag:
Challenge ends Sunday 4th March, 2012!
p.s.: I'll feature the various responses on my blog on Sunday and include my own response in that post!

The Power
There's a new woman in town. A new, happier, more content woman.
I went into the bookstore yesterday with the intention of getting an uplifting book and decided on getting The Secret which cost Shs 1,450. So I reached into my wallet and that's when I realised that I only had Shs1,100.
*cue in gasps of shock and frantic search in bag for more money*
The assistant with me was really helpful as he got the manager to give me a 10% discount but even that wouldn't have brought it down to Shs1,100. So I went up to the manager, explained how desperately I needed to start reading the book that specific night and lo and behold, he let me leave with it on condition that I would bring the Shs220 balance the next day! Which I did of course. His kindness melted my heart. It's not every day that a manager gives you a discount and lets you pay off your balance the next day. Especially when it was practically your first time walking into that bookstore.
Anyway so I get home and that's when I realise that I hadn't bought The Secret like I thought I did, but The Power. I don't think it matters much though, I reckon the message is pretty much the kind that I was looking for..
Have any of you read this book? What do you think of it?

Smile already
Some of my recent purchases that are making me happy this week include a couple Kenyan made baskets and 3 small bouquets of flowers. Whoever said money can't buy you happiness clearly hadn't visited the cheap side of life.
I kid I kid, I don't believe money makes you happy. It does help make things a lot prettier/convenient though ;)
One of the baskets holds bread and the other my nail polishes.
I covered the bread basket up with a table napkin just so it looks a little better.
Before
After
So much more convenient in terms of space.
These flowers stay in my bedroom. The other two in the living room. All cost Shs200 in total - so cheap yet so pretty!
Can't wait for this weekend! Need to catch up on sleep..
What inexpensive things have you bought recently?

Picplz
Recently I bumped into this app called picplz while going through one of my daily blog reads.
I'm in love, the kind of love that results in babies. (babies being the pics) Now I take pictures of everything!
It's an app for iPhones and Androids, sort of like instagram I believe. So if you have an Android like I do, download it already, it's free! And you know we like free stuff. Oh yeahh.
Recent gum purchase in some of my favourite flavours.
Does anyone else's middle finger bend awkwardly?
First time putting on white nail polish. There hasn't yet been a nail polish colour that I've hated on my nails. At least not that I can remember.. Any that you particularly dislike putting on?
On Sunday my family and I went to the club for lunch. I went dressed in a pretty sundress that exposed my back and I was asked to cover up. Bloody prudes.
It was a beautiful day though and the food was awesome so I'm not going to complain much!
Hope your week is off to a good start
