Updated on | | | 2 Comments

This post is about the very fun Red 7 card game by Asmadi Games. When was the last time you were stark raving mad about a game? Not a digital game on your phone or computer, but an offline IRL game like the ones we used to play as kids (for those of us old enough to remember a time when children played non-digital games 😛 )? For me, it had been a long long time, until I came across a card game last year, Red7 (you can check it out on Amazon here), which is what I’d like to tell you about today.

If you came to this post after Googling “mattress topper Kenya” and are wondering where to buy a mattress topper in Kenya, you can find a good selection of mattress toppers online at Jumia Kenya or at Mr Price Home.

Updated on | | | 7 Comments

If you came to this post searching for “Delmonte juice flavours Kenya”, then you are in the right place. Here, I talk about what I love so much about Del Monte juice and discuss some of the flavours available here in East Africa. When I was growing up, the breakfast table at my parents’ home always included a jug of freshly squeezed orange juice. Breakfast was never complete without it!

Updated on | | | 9 Comments

This post is about the famous Fisherman’s Friend lozenges. Before I get into discussing the lozenges themselves, though, let’s discuss packaging. Specifically, let’s talk about the Fishermans Friend tin. Fisherman’s Friend normally comes in paper packaging. The lozenges used to be and can still occasionally be bought in a reusable Fishermans Friend Tin.
