Remember when I used to blog on the internet? Well… I’m doing it again for giggles, eleven years after shutting my blog, except this time I’m calling it “writing” so it sounds more respectable. Apparently “journaling” is cheaper than therapy, so here we are. I’ve posted two things already on Substack. It’s basically me with less Facetune, more words, and no algorithm telling me I’m obsolete. Link is on my bio. Thank you in advance for subscribing! See you there! ❤️

PTA Meeting, here we come! ✨

Look Number 9. After the @Balenciaga’s 54th Haute Couture show, I visited the haute couture salon and tried on @KimKardashian’s dress - the ivory duchess satin number she wore on the runway. On the surface, it’s just a slip. But couture never hides in simplicity. The fabric alone—liquid satin with a weight that moves like water— sculpted on her body to drape without a single ripple out of place. Lace edging was hand-stitched, every millimeter considered, every seam pressed and re-pressed until it whispered perfection. The look was inspired by Elizabeth Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof—Hollywood languor, reborn through @Demna’s discipline. What looks effortless is, in truth, the work of countless hours and hands. Wearing it felt less like putting on a dress, and more like stepping into a story: old Hollywood, Demna’s vision, and the quiet devotion of couture ateliers. #Balenciaga #KimKardashian #Demna #HauteCouture

Out of Africa isdatchu? They say: wear neutrals, blend in, disappear into the bush. Beige, khaki, olive — the safari uniform. Supposedly so the animals won’t notice you. But here’s the thing: I truly regret it. I wish I had brought more colour. Because out on the rangelands, the world isn’t beige. It’s the red earth, the green acacia, the gold savannah. The locals don’t mute themselves to merge with the land; they celebrate individuality with colour, adornment, and self-expression. Think Maasai shukas blazing scarlet against the horizon, Samburu beadwork catching the sun. And the animals? They move through it all, largely unbothered. Many don’t even see colour the way we do. To them, what matters is shape, scent, and movement — not whether your shirt is tan or turquoise. Out of curiosity — who decided tourists should fade into dust? Some say it’s practical. But sometimes I wonder if it’s also cultural — a holdover from old colonial safari traditions where visitors were meant to look apart from locals, not like them. If I could do it again, I’d pack joy, pigment, pattern. I’d let colour tell its own story against the landscapes. Because out here, colour doesn’t just belong — it’s life itself. ❤️ #Kenya #Safari #Outfits

A reminder to skip buying things you don’t really need and see the world instead. 🦁 🦒 🐃 🦏 🐆 🐎 ⛰️

Halfway there @declanchan

Until the last light leaves my eyes at the end of my days, the things I have seen the past week will live in me — vivid, unforgotten, and kept like treasure. Kenya, I love you. 🥹😔 🇰🇪

Postcards from the shrubs 🦁 🇰🇪

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to receive countless beautiful things—wrapped in ribbons, tucked in boxes, treasured for a season. But here in Africa, I’ve discovered that the most meaningful offerings in life aren’t the kind you can hold in your hands. They’re the ones you live—those rare experiences that live on long after they’ve ended. In the magical sanctuary of Borana Conservancy, I’ve watched elephants move like old souls, zebras vanish into the horizon, and the vast rangelands spilling into bushlands—a wild mosaic of open plains and tangled thickets, stretching as far as the eye can see. I’ve spent a delightful amount of time with remarkable, gracious people, strangers and loved ones, from the nearby and the distant—each carrying a wealth of stories, lessons, and perspectives shaped by lives very different from my own. Their generosity wasn’t measured in material things but in something far rarer: their knowledge. They’ve shared histories of this land, tales from worlds I’ve yet to see, and wisdom distilled from years of living fully. To be trusted with that is no small thing; when someone parts with their knowledge, they give you a piece of themselves, and it stays with you. Somewhere along the way, I also discovered an unexpected love affair with horse riding—trusting these powerful, gentle animals as we moved together across the open plains. Bryan Yambao, Equestrian. 🤣🤣🤣 Can you imagine… the next time someone asks me oh Bryan what’s your favorite hobby? And I’d be like… “oh I love horseback riding” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Even now, while I’m still here, I can feel this place folding itself into my story… moments I know will never fade. This journey, made possible through friendship, generosity and kindness, has given me more than landscapes and wildlife… it’s given me connection, self-discovery, and experiences I didn’t know I needed. Thank you. Some treasures outlast everything else. #Kenya #Safari
