My glass door is broken and my landlady thinks she can put this on me, no way: "Sorry Ma'am, this is nature's fault" Sunday chilling state of mind If only we could totally put that phone away to relax ohhh... Anyway, procrastinating with the people we cherish around is the best of all feeling during weekends. Have an awesome week y'all, catch you later :) Aevermint

"La rose du royaume"

Image
"Ceci est un Conte d'Afrique, un conte du Cameroun. Bonne lecture  à  tous et surtout n'hésitez de le lire  à  vos enfants" Dans un royaume, vivait une jeune fille qui s'appellait "NTOKOMBO".  Elle était la fille la plus belle du royaume et sa beauté était d'une telle grandeur qu'elle pouvait empêcher des guerres rivales entre frères, entre royaumes. Sa beauté était d'une grandeur surnaturelle qu'elle reçu le pouvoir de faire tomber la pluie ou de l'arrêter lorsqu'elle voulait. De faire briller le soleil en plein minuit lorsqu'elle avait envie de se baigner. Mais la belle "Ntokombo", surnommée la rose du royaume n'avait pas la chose la plus simple, la chose la plus naturelle à savoir l'amour. Eh oui, personne, du plus brave guerrier au dernier poltron, personne n'osait venir demander sa main. C'est alors qu'un jour la belle fille se décida de percer le mystère et alla donc chez ...

Tourism in Douala - Cameroon

Image
Cameroon, your next destination! Like the majority of African countries, Cameroon remains relatively unknown to the general public. Many travellers still have a confused image of the typical features among tourist continental destinations. Nevertheless, Cameroon stands out with a genuine identity expressing diversity and stability, modernity and traditions, dynamism and calm, at once.  In short, the country concentrates all the beauties of Africa; which explains why people consider that nobody could really discover Africa without having visited Cameroon.

Le pêcheur, Liman Boucar aussi connu sous le nom d'Abdou ou encore "Grand maître" d'Africa, a découvert l'hippopotame quand elle était bébé. "Sa mère venait de mourir", explique-t-il.

To "Big Chop" or not to?

Image
It's snowing in Cape Town, so windy in Johannesburg and yet I've decided to "chop" that hair from my head and have no regrets at all since then :) How it all started I cut my hair (the first round) on November 2012 because after my two pregnancies my hair became a complete mess: "long, short, medium, kinky, dry, smooth..." I had all those kinds in one head and as it was not enough, my hair colour turned dark brown instead of remaining black. So, I got mad and remove all those mountains and "everests" and gave myself a good ride on equal plains with no valleys hehehe. Hold on! Watch the full video of my big chop by following this link:  "My Big Chop: "Relaxed to Natural Hair" 10 months later My hair later on grew equally and looked healthy but as I couldn't bear the pain when I had to comb the regrowths following the two relaxing phases I had in between, I started thinking it's maybe tim...

Image
J'ai pensé à   cette recette aujourd'hui avec le but de défier tous mes dosages ant é rieurs pour obtenir le goût idéal du fameux "Beignets Haricots" de la zone d'Afrique Centrale, et surtout de chez moi, le Cameroun. Weekend en famille ou amis? Si vous planifiez des retrouvailles en famille ou entre potes et amies, pourquoi ne pas concocter ce mets plutôt simple quoique fastidieux de part sa durée de préparation. Le Haricot Pr é alablement tremp é  la veille, nettoyez les graines de haricots en les rincant 3 fois de suite avec de l'eau puis les  ég outtez à l'aide d'une passoire et d é verser le contenu soit dans une cocotte comme je l'ai fait ou une simple marmitte.  Ajoutez-y quelques gouttes de vinaigre blanc, du sel (à votre convenance) et un oignon que vous aurez d é coup é  en deux parts. Dans la cocotte, la dur é e de cuisson des graines varient entre 15  à  20 minutes (suivant leur soupless...

"My Days & me" The story of an intimate relationship

Image
Oh come on, why would close this article so soon? Read it all! You might not be concerned (if you're a man) but this will definitely help all the women around you, I can assure you :) My Days, for Who? This is an Android App for every woman who would like to track her Period and Ovulation. Either you're trying to conceive (TTC) or just would love to finally have the proper idea of what kind of cycle you have, this app is one word: "GREAT" For how long exactly have I been using this? I think it must be more than two years now. I can still remember how I used to mark days on my printed calendar at my bedside and occasionally messing days in my head by often setting the wrong date as a start of Aunt Flow... aahhh such funny memories.  Anyway, the day I discovered this app, I found out that having to calculate (I'm such a dummy in maths) when will my next period start or the days of my ovulation was no more a monthly headache. I had it all fore...
