24 of Our Favourite Things about Amber: Happy Birthday!

In honour of a special friend's 24th birthday, we came up with a list of 24 things we love about her. I bombarded her Facebook wall with each individual list item in reverse order so she could read them. Suffice to say, this lovely lady will wake up to LOTS of notifications! 

Happy Birthday Amber!! 




1) I love that Amber tries to enjoy snowy days because she knows I love them, but she just can't quite cope with the cold. For you, Amber, I'll try to enjoy these 60 degree days in February.
-Caroline

2) She looks change in the face and says "Make me better." 
-Catherine

3) I love Amber because she is really strong and takes every sour lime life throws at her and makes a bomb margarita. 
-Brittany

4) We love Amber because she gives genuine, honest advice to problems, without judgement.
-Russell

5) Amber's passion for things like food and shoes turns into such a playful giddy excitement that is always so fun to encounter.
-Jamie

6) I love that Amber is crazy enough to listen when I say stuff like �Amber! Let�s go to High Point in our PJs!� Not only that, but she actually follows through! Definitely one of my favourite memories with you. 
-Roshni

7) Amber is the only person I know who could go from a long shift at work on a Friday night, come back to the dorm covered in grease and exhausted, and in 15 minutes turn into the most gorgeous, cheerful party girl simply - because we begged her not to go to sleep. It may be a round-about way to get to the point, and a weird example, but Amber I love your dedication and determination to be happy and fun!
-Caroline

8) She embraces everyone else's weirdness, and shares her own.
-Catherine

9) I love Amber because she�s always there when you need her and sometimes she is there with cheesecake. 
-Brittany

10) She makes for a great drinking buddy, whether it's a bottle of wine or a case of beer.
-Russell 

11) She always knows how to tell it how it is, but also knows how to make me feel better when I'm in a slump...and that's awesome.
-Jamie

12) One of my favourite things about Amber is that she knows when you need a listening ear and a good hug, and even if she can�t necessarily do anything about it, she�ll try her very best! Also, she gives really good advice. 
-Roshni

13) Amber is the best road trip partner of all time. Who else would laugh off getting lost in Livingston, Alabama, nearly running out of gas, driving around in circles on backroads, and make a feast out of chips and candy at a gas station? A true champion.
-Caroline

14) She reminds me to smile and look for new adventures.
-Catherine 

15) I love Amber because she has a huge heart and never wants to give up on someone or let them out of her life. 
-Brittany

16) She's not afraid to cut loose and just be herself, which is great because the real her is awesome!
-Russell 

17) When she cooks anything or talks about food! (...can you tell I'm hungry?)
-Jamie

18) Only Amber would decide to take advantage of a really awful, dreary, rainy day (that not even Caro and I were enjoying), and turn it into one of the most epic laugh fests we�ve had together! I�ll always remember the night that the Speckled Amberilus was born. 
-Roshni

19) My most favorite thing about Amber may be those moments when she grabs your shoulder and says the fateful words, "We got this." She only speaks these words when all hope is lost, you've messed up big time, there's NO fixing whatever is spiraling out of control. But since Amber is there, you know that at least you're in it together, and honestly, it's probably going to turn into a great story.... someday.
-Caroline

20) She knows when to hold you close and when to smack you upside the head.
-Catherine

21) I love Amber because she�s always the life of the party. She�s going to be the one that keeps us all young. 
-Brittany 

22) Annnnd. She's not afraid to take it off! (Ow!)
-Russell 

23) How spontaneous she can be when time allows it. I love that she is willing to do the insane to see her friends and is always there for us
-Jamie

24) I love that Amber is willing to go the extra mile to do special things for her friends! She knows how much I love special occasions like Valentine�s Day and birthdays, and she ALWAYS made sure to do something special and unique for me! 
-Roshni

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...

New Technology Billed as the Latest Breakthrough in Laser Vision Correction

Here's an article I wrote, in conjunction with Dr. Mukesh Joshi of Laser Eye Centre, that got published in the Daily Nation today! It's more on the scientific side, but I thought it was worth sharing.  Do you wear contact lenses or glasses? What if you were told that you could get perfect vision by lying under a laser machine for 30 seconds without any surgical instruments touching your eye? It seems like a dream, but it is now possible, thanks to the C-Ten procedure. Patients suffering from short-sightedness, long-sightedness or astigmatism (distortion of the cornea that causes blurry vision), which cause them to need glasses or contact lenses, now have access to a procedure that can correct their vision in less than half a minute. The procedure, which takes no more than 35 seconds, is minimally invasive as there are no surgical instruments involved. The principle aim of laser vision correction is to reshape the cornea to correct vision problems. The reshaping is done to the m...
