Thames Clippers Boat Ride Through London

April 25, 2016May 28, 2017 by Nimi

My friend D. Alves is full of bright ideas. Together, we have undertaken to explore London, even though he has lived here for most of his life, there’s still a lot even he hasn’t seen. He recently suggested that we take a Thames Clipper from South Bank to Greenwich. I’ve never taken a boat ride …

Dubai Spoilt My Chances of Living Anywhere Else

April 18, 2016May 28, 2017 by Nimi

I was thinking about this the other day actually; living in Dubai, and quite possibly the rest of the UAE, really skews your sense of reality. There’s the real world, then there’s Dubai. Unless you have lived there, or, perhaps even in West Africa, then you really won’t get it. Here are five things I …

An Art Exhibit at October Gallery, London

April 12, 2016May 28, 2017 by Nimi

I can’t imagine what a world without art would be like. Drab? Abysmal? Dead? A dark void? The great thing about being back in the UK is that I have more than enough time to explore London’s art scene – and there’s so much to choose from. Last week, my sister and I were invited …

The Library of Fragrance Review

April 11, 2016May 28, 2017 by Nimi

Ahhh spring, probably my favourite season of the year and one that I missed a lot whilst living in the tropics and desert. The sight of flowers beginning to blossom, bare trees taking on a mantle of green as new leaves begin to show – it’s a miraculous sign of the world reawakening once again after …

Pure Fiji – A Product Review

April 7, 2016April 8, 2016 by Nimi

I learned about Pure Fiji quite recently through Anita, a friend of mine. Her vivid descriptions about this organic beauty range inspired me to invite her onto my blog to write about them. I thought I might have to twist her arm a little (a bit hard as Anita’s in Australia), but she’s a great …

Time Out Gotham v Time Out Metropolis

April 6, 2016April 6, 2016 by Nimi

My sister’s 12-year-old godson recently spent a few days in the UK. His trip, his first to England, included sightseeing around London, taking in Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace (that was a first for me too actually), and, because he’s a young boy, spending a lot of time at comic bookshops around the West End. Apparently …

Affordable Vintage Fair and V&A Childhood Museum at Bethnal Green

April 5, 2016April 5, 2016 by Nimi

So, this weekend was a busy one, with me traipsing all over the capital. I even ventured into East London, a place I tend to have really bad experiences with and generally avoid like the plague. And, in keeping with tradition, my visit to both the Vintage Fair and the V&A Childhood Museum at Bethnal Green …

Big Bus Tour Review – London

April 4, 2016April 4, 2016 by Nimi

Over the weekend I had the opportunity to take in a Big Bus Tour of London. If for some reason you’re unfamiliar with the concept, these are double decker buses with the top deck usually open air that take tourists sightseeing around major cities in the world. Along the designated route, passengers can jump on …
