Hello June :-)

Today I’m thankful for friends…both old and new :) for the friends I made in like P2 to those I made in high school and university.

I’m thankful that even though we spend ages without seeing each other, when we do it’s like nothing changed, like being back in a high school dorm room or uni hostel room talking and laughing about anything and everything. :)

And I’m glad next weekend is going to be one those times. Can’t Wait!

The ‘dino’ clothes rack by by lincoln kayiwa: Looking like an organized bone structure, the ‘dino’ clothes rack has been designed by finnish based, Ugandan designer Lincoln Kayiwa. The hangers range in size to suit coats and jackets for adults and children. Made from plastic, hangers are evenly spaced to reduce friction and allow the independent movement between each. ‘dino’ can be used in public cloak rooms as each hanger is numbered. 

About the designer: Lincoln Kayiwa was born in 1979 into an architectural family in Kampala, Uganda. He graduated as a Master of Arts from the Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture in 2007. Upon graduating he founded his own company – KAYIWA, which focuses on innovative, aesthetic and functional products; all intricately wrought with his signature objet d’art twist. His work has garnered remarkable international media coverage: in coffee table books, on design/lifestyle blogs, gracing magazine covers as well as numerous features in The New York Times, Livingetc, Elle, to mention but a few.

This Thursday I’m thankful for a couple’s things;

1. My Job…sure I might bitch and gripe about my bosses and workmates once in a while but in  a country where the unemployment rate is at 36% for youth with University degrees, i think know  I’m blessed. Also I’m thankful for the independence that comes with having your own money, the challenges and accomplishments that come with working which have helped me grow as a person and of course not having to rely entirely on someone else for my every need.

2. Family:
A couple of weekends ago my cousin went for a party and for about 72 hours no one saw or heard from him; we all feared the worst; but what stood out during those few crisis hours is how the whole family pulled together…all my uncles, aunts and even cousin’s i hadn’t spoken to in ages came through to help in any way they could. He eventually turned up-full of remorse…but I was reminded that when you need them, your family will always be there, through and through :)

What are you thankful for?

P.S Shout out to msnettybaby for getting us to remember, even if it is for one day in a week, all the things we should we grateful for :)

Joyce Vincent was 41 when she was found dead in her home, but she was 38 when she died. For three years, from 2003-2006, her body lay surrounded by Christmas gifts she was planning to wrap; the television still on. How does this happen? Especially to a woman who was social, who two-years prior had a high-powered job at Ernst and Young, who had rubbed elbows with celebrities, and who wanted to get married? That’s what Carol Morley set to find out. But her new documentary film, “Dreams of a Life,” is about more than just Joyce Vincent, a young, beautiful London woman whose parents were from the Caribbean and who no one seemed to miss when she was gone. It’s about life, death, and loneliness.”
