Another Day In My Life
I shared a DIML post a while back and everyone seemed to really enjoy it. I got a lot of positive feedback both on the blog and my YouTube channel. So, I decided to make another one. Here is another day in my life:
Morning
I usually wake up and meditate for fifteen minutes and then ice my face.
I am NOT a morning person and I am even less of a breakfast person. But, since I can’t take my medications on an empty stomach I’ve had to adjust and eat breakfast daily. Another reason is that my calorie intake was getting too low when I wasn’t eating breakfast. So, my nutritionist/sister advised me to eat breakfast daily to up my calories. It was tough at first but these days I’ve been trying to get creative with my breakfast meals. On this day, I made two types of toasts and a vegan sausage for some protein. One is a basil pesto and avocado toast and the other is a basil pesto, pickle, tomato and onion toast. Can you tell I had some homemade basil pesto lying around that I needed to finish?
After breakfast, I did what I usually do and finished most of my work for the day as I had a busy afternoon ahead and knew I wouldn’t be able to do much later on.
Afternoon
Afternoon is where it got fun. I quickly had some lunch which consisted of aloo paratha, soya chunk curry and some cut veggies. I hadn’t been eating too healthy today because I knew I would be walking a lot for the rest of the day and would need the energy/calories. This was my first try making aloo paratha completely on my own and they turned out pretty good. I rarely make them since I don’t like any type of paratha much and also because vegan butter is expensive lol. These are generally cooked in butter.
After lunch, my sister and I headed to Sarit Centre– a popular mall in Nairobi. I had some things I needed to buy that just could not be put off for any longer. First, I went to a bookstore because I needed to get some pens for my dad. Next, I went to Miniso because it’s adorable and I couldn’t resist lol. Also, I needed socks. I bought two pairs of cute socks and a sleep mask I needed.
Lastly, we went to Carrefour for some groceries. My main objective here was to buy some spicy ghost peppers which were finally in season and in stock. I bought three because I’m not good with spicy food lol.
I forgot to take pictures of everything because I’m forgetful sometimes but you can see all the stores and the things I bought on my YouTube video which will be linked below.
Evening
After putting on some more comfy clothes, I decided to rest for a little bit after coming home. We had walked quite a bit and I was tired. After that I started cooking dinner. I decided to make ramen noodles because I was too tired to cook something from scratch. I was so excited to try the ghost peppers that I chopped half of one and added it to my noodles. They were SO spicy but so delicious too.
I had dinner while watching some episodes of Friends and had homemade vegan chocolate bites as dessert.
After dinner, I watched TV for a bit longer. Then, I did some last minute work, some writing, Gua Sha, meditation and went to bed a bit early since I was still tired.

And that is pretty much another day in my life. If you would like to view the video version of “Another Day In My Life” (which I think is way more interesting compared to reading about it lol) you can do so on YouTube:
