The Ultimate Halloween Party 2015.

Remember the story of the bogey man and his monster crew?Lemme refresh your mind.The bogey man and his crew live under kids' beds and closets and their work was to scare children when night fell.They actually do that for a living.Quite the job huh?Apparently,it was just a Halloween fable that got taken too seriously.Damn!And to think I lost my innocence to this.I bet you'd love to hear all about it but I promise you this is for another day over some tea scones and coffee?
Yes?

Welcome to the Mac Store of Horrors.
Location...Garden City Mall;1st floor.





Titbits?Anyone?









These scrumptiously spooky cupcakes and refreshments were all courtesy of Moca Loca.Believe me,you wanna try them.
Located on the first floor of Garden City mall right on the corner before you get to Mambo Italia.Yeah,that's the spot!


Branded, a cocktail and coffee lounge,I am by far impressed and I can with no doubt say they have so much more to offer.

Now back to this very Hallow's Day :).Mac being a cosmetic company...well...it was obvious the lot of us were getting our makeup done for the night.And not just any kind of makeup...it was rather not so ordinary,perfect for the last day in October.




Allow me to take you aback.Before my pal,Paulyn,who owns a lovely upcoming travel blog, made up her mind on what kind of makeup she wanted done;she had with her cat ears.Dorned and owning it!



Told yah!!
So this cat ears were the inspiration behind her Halloween make-up.
*drumrolls*


Raarw!!

On my end, I was pretty much confused on what I wanted because I was in awe and marvelling at how good these makeup artists were.Damn straight!Fab..ou...lous!There isnt anything close to how icecream makes me wanna melt like someone who just owns it and hands you exactlly what you want or better yet they exceed your expection.Its like stevia syrup(which I doubt has been invented yet but hey..)...as i was saying.Its like stevia syrup in a mug ready for you to suck  up all its nectary goodness,let your head fall back and hit those fluffy pillows on cloud nine.Satisfaction!Mmmh!


First,I wanted to be Harlequin.Uh huh.The Joker's daughter from the comic blockbuster;Batman.Then in the process I changed my mind coz hey,am a girl.Okay now am being spoilt.But yes I did change my mind and told Betty ,The Makeup Artist ,standing next to me to surprise me.It was Halloween,afterall.


And not before long...


Results!!
I totally dint see this coming!But golly!Mother of art! We have to agree on this one,she sure does have an amazing pair of hands and a mind with powerful imagination over her shoulders.Salute,Betty!



Peace on fright night?Yeah,you know am coming for you!!I dont know whether to roar or grunt though.
There was more to what the rest of the makeup artists had to offer.And low and behold!



Remember Mistique from X-men?She's about to go savage on us in just two seconds!Yikes!





And if this was real,people of this generation would be posting photos like:#halloweenfever#hashtagtrain#vampbinge#vampirediaries#friendgetsbitten#ouch#omg#biteselfie#weareprobablynext#scream



#kidding#justforlaughs.

These are but a few photos I was able to take before my phone charge gave up on me and there is clearly much I have left out.Nonetheless,what's for sure is that Lyntons Mac Store threw one hellavu party and I cant really be found at fault if I called out,"Another one!"Moreover,I will have you know the music was off the hook and shout out to Mr.DJ for he left absolutely no music thirst uncatered for.



And just incase you are wondering where all the ghoulies,ghosts and monsters go after halloween wonder no more...


Until their 'full moon' comes up again and they start feeling some typa way,I believe we are safe.So the bogey clan doesnt really hide under kids' beds or closets, they actually have group therapy till October.Hmmm,sounds believable?Speaking for myself,I know this piece of information could have made my childhood alittle less difficult.Why wasnt I the one to tell these fables?The world would surely have been a better place.Sigh.
This post is long overdue.Many apologies loves ,I was caught up with a few other projects.And seeing that I finally posted up aint we glad they let up?ION,I cant wait for suicide squad to hit the screens.Squeals!!You never really can get enough of comics.I,honestly never do.

Peace,love and yet another Hallow's Day.

DIY Halloween Treats!!

Accio delicatessen!!


A lil sugar is all the spice some of us need to get the bore out of routine.Right?Besides a lil' cake ,a lil' choc ,a lil'...some some...never hurt nobody.Now grab your fangs and come along!!


Trick or treat?



How about both?
You will need:
 ~halloween treat holders(I got mine from Zana Adorn.Find them on Facebook and Instagram.)
 ~chocolate(s);preferably Hersheys because they fit perfectly on these holders/huggers.
 ~office glue.


1.Fold the bat wings/ghost hands;whichever you choose to do first is all on you.
2.Take your Hersheys chocolate and fold the top wrapper part like this...


3.Put it in between the folded wings/hands.Like this...



4.Afterwards,press down both sides of the wings or hands and secure them with glue, one on top of the other.
  
And BOO!! 
There you have it.A simple trick and treat.


Chocs with a side of fangs and boos.Spookingly delish or what?!
Don't just give treats this halloween,add some spook and fun into it.

Cackle cupcakes.
You will need: 
~fancy party straws-(in Nakumatt for just 230bob.)
~6 black carbon witch boots(These ones I found on Zana Adorn.)
~1 black carbon witch hat(On Zana Adorn.)
~Don't forget office glue..and...


~... frosted cupcakes ofcourse.


I got my cupcakes from a local bakery, where I was given the liberty to choose whatever frost colour I fancied.I went for green and blue because when else do you get to order gooy weird colours?On your birthday?I thought so too.You could even decide and go black!Ain't no harm.
If you can access Nakumatt's bakery they can frost for you your cupcakes on order.I requested at Tusky's but they wouldn't bend over backwards for a frost or two.Oh well.I guess,you win some ,you lose some.The rest of the well known supermarkets, I didn't check you could probably find some luck if you do. :)



1.Secure three straws and with your scissors cut them into equal halves.


2.To make the witch legs:on each equal halve,use you glue to stick on the witch boots.And cackle :-P


3.Thereafter,take pairs of your witch legs plus witch hat and make you cackle cupcakes as 
    illustrated below.
    





These titbits may look alil wicked but I promise you they are fit for a King's feast table.Simply exquisite!
BURP!!Oh dear!Pardon me.My manners seem to be lacking.Did someone say delish?


This halloween,be sure to add a fright to your bite with these festively daunty yet sweet treats.And this being my last round up of DIY halloween recipes, I would love to wish all the inhabitants of Kingdom Earth a fun,festive and amazing Halloween.
'Till next time...keep it real,keep it true.
Peace,love and scream queens!

Rainy Season Wardrobe Essential?Is it Really?

It is already spring North of the world and it should have started raining back here in Nairobi, but we all know the unpredictable times we live in.Still,it willl get showery and muddy, for the skies speak of rumors of rain and someone tell the fierce master its time to take its scorchy tyrannic rule someplace else.I know i prefer the wet cooler days its the roads i fea for.Nonetheless it will rain anytime now and i wouldnt be caught out unprepared.I recently bumped into an interesting accessory that i believe might just be the 'it' wardrobe essential to get one by this far dodgy rainy season.
