Another List That Will...

Another guest post from fellow HCBN member, Ariadna Arredondo!

Make your life a wonderful place.... 

1) Go to bed on time.
Okay, we are not saying to have a bedtime, for all that matters, we want you to go to bed at more or less the same time every day. (or almost every day) Just set a routine and unwind before bed, make sure you catch your extra zzz�s.

2) Do one thing you have been putting off since always.
Whatever it is, stop procrastinating. Yup, come on, get off your high horse and start to remember those things that you have been meaning to do. Set some time in your schedule to do them. Not in a year�s time, now. Look now.




3) Feelings.
Speak about them. Speak to that certain someone who has been on your mind for a while about that topic you need to vent about. Whether it is to dig deep down or just have a chat about everyday challenges, speak about your feelings. You�ll feel better, stronger and a lot closer to that person who you decided to share them with.

4) Appreciate!
Say thank you all the time. Acknowledge when someone is going out of their way to do something for you and that you are able to be by their side and say thank you. You got them, they got you. Spoil them, cherish them, say thank you.

5) Jump!
Take a risk � small, medium or big. Jump for it, let that fear go and get lost to find yourself again. It is always your call. It is always up to you.

6) Time out!
Get time for you. Make time for you. Once a week or once every two weeks, make time for you.

7) Believe and do.
First, start by believing that good things coming your way.
Next step, do.
Before we get to do, smack- dab right now, hope and believe in good things.
Make a list, read it every day, let it sink in.



8) Honor those who make the world a better place
Look up activists and trailblazers who you admire. Talk about them, let that positive vibe go around. Or, directly, talk to those who you admire and let them know. Take time to reflect and get informed about these amazing human beings to make the world a better placedoing what they love to do.

9) Bring something in at work/at home.
You know how when we were kids we had �Show and Tell�? For those who didn�t do it, all we had to do is bring in something that we loved, show it to the class and tell them about it. It was a wonderful day because you got to learn about other things while hugging your favorite teddy bear all day long. This is the same in the adult world. Take advantage and bring sweets to the office, bring a home cooked meal� do something to make their day better. What is even better than coming home from school/work and finding out that your parents/loved one brought home pizza for dinner?

10) Up that selfie game.
No need to post them up if you are all shy about it. You can, however, send them to your mom. She will love them! Or send them to your best friend. Or send them to someone you know that is having a rough time as a way of cheering them up. Be proud to flaunt your awesome self around, let the world see. Or at least, your own world see!

All in all, be you, be yourself, try your hardest, do what you love and keep that head held high.
You got this!
The Always Believer

The Mayura: Restaurant Review

Happy new year, everyone! It's been a while, so I thought to break tradition and post on a Tuesday this time - I'm sure you're in need of new restaurant recommendations, right? Located in Kenrail towers, the Mayura  is an Indian restaurant that you may not have been to yet. I'd heard about it, but never been, so when I was invited to do a review, I naturally jumped at the chance. Located in Kenrail Towers, the ambience of the Mayura has peacock-themed, warm interiors. There's a lot of space to sit down, both inside and outside. The restaurant is the brainchild of Rajiv Segal, who has a corporate background and being from Delhi, had a high standard of quality and had developed a distinctive palate, which he wanted to bring to the people in Nairobi. The menu was chosen for us by Rajiv (and boy, did we eat a lot!). For starters, we had some paneer tikka, mutton chops, fish amritsari and banu kebab (chicken). The paneer tikka was absolutely amazing! The paneer was fresh...

How to Organize Your Closet

Today�s guest blogger is fellow Her Campus Blogger Network member, Ak Brown! This is the first post in a series of posts she�ll be doing on The Kenyan Nomad. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have! Ak�s bio: Fashionable with a hint of unconventional rawness, that's what I used to describe myself and my blog Mind of a Fashionista. Started in 2013, I have transformed this blog along with my best friend into a diverse source of fashion, style, and beauty news, trends, tips, and tricks while also conveying opinions that normally don't go with the "norm" opinion. It's morning, 6:58 to be exact.  It's time for you to get up, get ready, and get going.  After showering, brushing and flossing your teeth you head over to your closet and say to yourself "What in the f***".  Shirts are hanging off of their hangers, pants look like they got up for a late night drink and passed out on the floor, and long story short, your closet looks like an abomination.  But y...

What Does Ramadhan Mean to Me?

Another guest post by my good friend, Aniqah Khalid, of Maisha , about what Ramadhan means to her. This month of fasting for Muslims around the world has just started, and I know that many of us non-Muslims have questions about what this month actually means to them. Enjoy! This is an extremely complex question to answer in a long point form manner. How I can answer this, however, is in a more metaphorical way. Ramadhan is coming home after a long hard day. Coming home, kicking off your shoes, finding solace in familiarity and comfort in its security. Ramadhan is that strong pain killer for when your body aches that you cannot sleep at night, you cannot eat and you simply cannot think. Ramadhan is that small open window in a hot and stuffy room. Ramadhan is that drop of water that can save the thirsty beggar. Ramadhan is what many pay hundreds and thousands of dollars on therapy for. Ramadhan is the light feeling after being forgiven and after forgiving. Ramadhan is fuelling the car af...
