Revisiting Cultiva Restaurant Nairobi We decided to revisit Cultiva Restaurant again because we enjoyed the food so much last time. In fact, I think Cultiva is probably my favourite restaurant in Nairobi. You can read more about Cultiva on their site. Of course, I wanted to share the experience with you guys again because we did end up trying some new dishes. You can watch the video version of our experience on my YouTube channel:

Steve Maraboli Quote Steve Maraboli Quote: What's Up With Pooj? I was complaining about the weather being too hot a couple of weeks ago. January and most of February was extremely sunny and I hated leaving the house. Hot weather always makes me depressed and asocial. But over the last couple two weeks, the weather has cooled down a lot more. It's been so beautifully cold, rainy, and dreary.

Dessert At Hero Restaurant Nairobi I shared my review and experience of having dinner at Slate in this post. Once we were done with dinner, we thought we would head to another restaurant for dessert since my cousins have already been there and loved it. The restaurant is called Hero Restaurant and is superhero themed which is so cool. They also have a very unique sweet, sour and spicy mango sorbet dessert.

An Invitation To Pause And Listen Within Today’s modern world asks us to move faster, decide quicker, and carry more than we realise, there are few spaces that invite us simply to pause. Not to perform. Not to achieve. Just to listen.

Art Therapy- The Best Kind Of Therapy?

You may have noticed my absence. If you've read a few of my last posts, you know I'm particularly busy at the moment. Although I have been busy, don't worry it's not been all work. I've been having fun indulging in my hobbies too. Recently, I've been doing…

Brooke Davis Quote Brooke Davis Quote: What's Up With Pooj? Just a heads up, some of the services I offer are not currently available right now. As I mentioned, I'm getting quite busy these days with everything to do with my book. I have a lot less time and I've decided that for the next three months I want to prioritise my book. It's been a dream of mine since I was a teenager and I owe it to myself to give it my all.

Nothing To Write Nothing to write But still filled with delight A secret to share If any of you care Something special is coming soon It's sending me over the moon! About "Nothing To Write": I have been incredibly busy today but in a good way.

Norman Cousins Quote Norman Cousins Quote: What's Up With Pooj? This isn't a particularly uplifting quote and maybe that's why it resonated with me so strongly. I love the person I'm becoming, I'm more aware, have proper boundaries and am much more confident. However, I had to go through some of the worst pain and experiences to get here. And those experiences have killed parts of me that I will never get back.

New Month, Same Old Crap It's February already, even though it feels like we ushered in January. Weird how fast the time flies by when we get older. When we're young we can't wait for the month to end. I'm trying to remain optimistic but the last few days of this month haven't been the best. It just makes me feel like new month, same old crap.

Fyodor Dostoevsky Quote Fyodor Dostoevsky Quote: What's Up With Pooj? It's been a particularly stressful time this week but I've realised that I sort of like stress? Like not actual stress but I'm just the kind of person that works well when things are crazy. I know, not the most healthiest way to live life. And something I'm probably going to have to work on in therapy.
