Safari at 50+: Real Style, Real Rain, and Real Adventure in Kenya
What are the best walking boots for the Green Season in Kenya?
The best walking boots for the Green or Mixed Season in Kenya are not princess leather style boots. They will get ruined. Or riding boots, they are too clunky. Here is a picture of my boots that I wore on my last Safari.

Kenya Green Season: The Truth About Mosquitoes and Mud on an April Safari
The Insect Myth Buster! Mosquitos and mud will ruin your safari in May and June?
Let me be honest with you. In April and May, Samburu. Where we will be in Kenya on Safari is dry. Also, the lack of excess water, compared to the coast, means that mosquitoes are surprisingly minimal. In fact, I went on Safari in Samburu, and never even saw one mosquito!

The Safari I Turned Pretty
The Safari I Turned Pretty? Or the Summer I Turned Pretty?
Yes. My daughter introduced me to The Summer I Turned Pretty, and I immediately read the book. Then fell in love with the series. I related to the show, because I used to be a swimmer and every summer we would go to California for summer. I had my first kiss in Lake Tahoe!

African Jewellery and Womanhood
Jewellery plays a significant role in identity worldwide. Whether you wear a wedding ring, a cross, earrings, or nothing at all. Jewellery can make a statement about you. Or help you to feel good about yourself and your culture.
In Africa, jewellery can tell stories or express beliefs. This includes the tribe to which you belong, your social standing, and whether you are married or not.
