Guess who’s back, back again?Lorna’s back,tell a friend. So,while I was away,the holidays happened,the New year started,and a new decade began. Since 10 seems to be my lucky number in this season,I discovered I gained 10 pounds in 2019.My clothes didn’t shrink as I suspected after all. Oh yeah,and I took a break to spend…

Pay up!
Not paying debts as a borrower without initiating a conversation with the lender is a sign of lack of social awareness or a basic lack of character on your part…It is NOT due to lack of funds… When one lends you 5000,depending on what they earn,that represents their time. If one earns 50,000 per month,…
SWVL,InDriver and Little Shuttle…well,mostly SWVL
Digital advertising – that’s how I came to learn about InDriver and SWVL- these ads kept popping up on my social media feed and I kept ignoring them. I’m not one of those first movers but when I started getting good reviews from people who I know who had used the two,I decided to give…
The Nairobi Gallery
There’s a rarely spoken about gem in Nairobi city…Well there are actually two correlated gems. The National Archives – yes,that common meeting place at the heart of the CBD , and The Nairobi Gallery. Both pay homage to a family whose contribution to Kenya’s history and art is noteworthy. Last time I visited the National…

The Property Bus Tour

Every lady has a daily beauty regime. Whether it be petroleum jelly from head to toe or a concoction of ingredients for each body part, a little pampering goes a long way in starting the day right. Pampering can cost an arm and a leg or cost very little. It really depends on many factors…
Money and Happiness
Money and happiness,synonyms… maybe?
Baby Steps
An emergency fund is an ‘In case of emergency break glass stash’…random thought that crossed my mind recently. In between watching Hallmark movies and reruns of Coke Studio on YouTube a few months back, the YouTube algorithm suggested I check out Dave Ramsey’s videos. Must have been because I was also watching videos with titles…
High Heels and Low Financial IQ?
Smart Money Woman is a book by Nigerian author Arese Ugwu. As soon as I lay my hands on it, I just couldn’t put it down.I read it some time last year and I must say the lessons I garnered from it have helped me remain focused on my financial goals to date. I couldn’t…
