It’s a special moment not just because we are bidding adieu to the year but also because of one merry little reason-Christmas! It is the season of indulgence. A time when excess is celebrated, when traditions are upheld, gifting becomes extravagant and there is cheer all around Kenya has the uncanny habit of taking any festival and making it her own, and Christmas is no stranger to this Christmas in Kenya is celebrated by over, 40 million people, and more if you consider the foodies who are just waiting for an excuse to scarf down some succulent nyama choma, biryani and down with some Tusker baridi or refreshing cocktails To continue with the spirit of celebrations we are thrilled to bring forth our December issue.
In this month’s issue we decided to put the spotlight on everything Christmassy! From Kenyans favourite roasts to best of cocktails made by the legendary Kenya Kane.

Pollution, climate change and overfishing are just some of the threats contributing to plummeting of freshwater species. According to research done by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), dubbed Living Planet Report (LPR) 2022, wildlife populations – mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish – have seen a devastating 69% drop on average since 1970, with Kenya falling in the threat hotspots region because of the decline of key species and degradation of key habitats. WWF is extremely concerned about this trend given that these geographical areas are some of the most biodiverse in the world. In less than a lifetime, freshwater populations have fallen by an average of 83%, the largest decline of any species group. Habitat loss and barriers to migration routes are responsible for about half of the threats to monitored migratory fish species.
The LPR 2022 shows that #ForALivingPlanet we need our freshwater species to urgently reverse nature loss and revert the loss of humanity's depleted biodiversity To achieve recovery of key species, we’ll require ambitious commitments nationally and more importantly from world leaders at the next Conference of Parties to the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD COP15).
We need to create and move from dealing with events to addressing system tipping dynamics where we have agents of change and a mix of interventions that can trigger and potentially accelerate transformative pathways to sustainable use and production. The LPR report makes clear that delivering a nature-positive future will not be possible without recognizing and respecting the rights, governance, and conservation leadership of Indigenous Peoples and local communities around the world

Two of life’s simple pleasures probably start with pizza and end with beer Grab a slice, take a bite, grab your pint, take a sip, and repeat. There is no greater pleasure in our opinion And while you really can’t go wrong pairing any pizza with any beer, our beer and pizza aficionados advice on the best ways to harmonize the two.
What Makes Pizza and Beer a Match Made in Heaven? Bubbles from the carbonated brew cut right through the fatty, cheese-heavy toppings on a pizza The type of cheese used creates a certain richness that Hop beer could be a great foil for For the spicy-sausage/ Mutura or more spicercovered fan-favorite on the toppings, the bold hop-forward flavors balance out those robust flavors without being overpowered or overpowering Go grab a Six-pack of Hop House 13 and ready for the bite, undoubtedly a combination to love at all times.

Walk up to your window, look up at the sky See those dark clouds? See how they hang heavy? Well, get a strong wide umbrella because it’s about to rain summer bunnies They are coming December holidays are here and many diasporans take the opportunity to travel back home for the festive season Here in Kenya, the Kenyans living or studying abroad who come to visit and vacation home are collectively known as ‘summer bunnies’. I don’t know where the term originated from but I’ve heard it a lot recently I don’t know if other African countries have names to which they refer their citizens who return home to visit from abroad but our lives are irrevocably intertwined with summer bunnies You might say we are joined at the hip.
Now that they are here bound, we have taken it to task to ensure their stay is worth the while. While all summer bunnies swear to have a Tusker baridi (read Tusker beridi) the first thing when they land, here is a guideline to what to do once you touch down and exciting dishes to taste around
Every Kenyan hosting a summer bunny owes it to the sanity of the country to ensure they visit these places for a moment of their life time. Take them and let them see the wonder of development.

Devastated by the past the two girls had made him go through, she looks back on her life and her revenge mission tragically molded by her crave for equality. Fake love tainted by pretense saw her ferocious personality do the unthinkable and she saw it fit to tell it out As Rahab and Joyce seemed to be startled by my statement, I could not just go straight to the point I had to give them every reason as to why I had to do that Although this could not make any sense to them as to why I did this, I cared less I kicked it off with some a toast for some tequila shots Again, I took them back to when I was in high school. They all knew me from my background and how they treated me
On the other hand, there was nothing that they could do that would make me forgive them I asked them if I was in their shoes, they would forgive themselves The two ladies seem to be so emotional Dickson was just left there staring at them and kept on asking them if indeed I was telling the truth.

This time, Joyce and Rahab tried to calm me down and promised to make it up to me and make sure that we still remained in good terms The worst had already happened I knew everyone was curious about what I was going to tell them at the end. I did not know where to start. I only stopped at where my parents died. After some few minutes, Rahab asked me, 'you told us your parents died, what happened?"
I did not know where to start But I had to tell them the truth I gathered all the courage that I could and told them my parents succumbed to the deadly HIV and Aids This time, it did not hit them that I could be positive too. They were all surprised. Dickson gave me some worrying looks. They had no idea that I was sleeping with Dickson too If Dickson was infected, they were infected too I decided to let the cat out of the bag and told them that I also shared some intimate moments with Dickson The two ladies were utter surprised Dickson was about to storm out when I confronted him, confessing that I was HIV positive too The two ladies, Rahab and Joyce were glued to the seat. All buried in tears and disbelief. “I am positive. All of you should go for a HIV test! I couldn't find any better way of taking a revange on you two, Rahab and Joyce ” I clacked as I stormed out to my room “We are done here, Good Luck” I jabbered out

Salads are a healthy meal that many people enjoy, for various but oftentimes because of their health benefits Because salads eaten for their health benefits or nutritional value, sometimes adding a store-bought dressing defeats the purpose of eating healthy. This is where salad oils come in because they are a healthier option Salad oil and vegetable oils are very similar Perhaps you might be confused about what the minor differences are between the oils The main difference is in how the oils are extracted for dressings compared to cooking.

Losing a baby in pregnancy through miscarriage or stillbirth is still a taboo subject worldwide, linked to stigma and shame Many women still do not receive appropriate and respectful care when their baby dies during pregnancy or childbirth. This dim chapter in Nana’s life makes a dramatic turn as Ezra comes lowers his guard about his traditional beliefs Grab your Ballantine’s Whisky as DANIEL NDIWA narrates the drama
We were strategically positioned in a way we could see the jam-packed party central More importantly we weren’t to miss Ezra and Nana pushing their way through the throng We had already downed three screwdriver cocktails coupled with neat Ballantine’s shots in between before the couple stepped in The two had already alerted us that they will be joining us in a few, following hours on end drama We were all puzzled on what could have transpired after we left the two love birds We all tried being optimistic that they the two could have resolved their issues It was a tough space for Ezra No one is born with a guard up Walls are built when you've loved openly, with your heart on your sleeve, given free love unconditionally To be fair, of all the things a woman may go through, miscarriage may be one of the most poorly understood You may feel terribly sad, yet alone, because some of the people closest to you simply don't grasp what you're going through. Ezra was not understanding how. To him it was a mix of bad jinx and no favor from the gods
The pub was already full with soccer chants getting louder England were playing against their Welsh mafias and were already two nil up Manchester fans couldn’t be silenced with their crazy banter Abel is a Senegal die-hard and they had just qualified for the round of 16 having escaped the wrath of the Ecuadorians on a 2-1 close call We continued imbibing as we waited for Nana and Ezra We ordered some few more drinks as we expressed our strong banter We were barely quarter of the whiskey bottle when I spotted Nana and Ezra maneuvering the hyped fanatics They seem to be happy and they were even holding hands We all smiled at each other as we stood up and got Ezra and Nana a place to seat We ordered more drinks for them You seem to be happy, what's good? I asked Ezra "Bro, I just came here to make things right with you all and say sorry for my lose tongue It was reckless of what I said in the heat of a moment. Losing a baby can be devastating. Bereavement, grief and loss can cause many different symptoms and they affect people in different ways I guess that took a toll on me There's no right or wrong way to feel Nana and I have decided to solve our differences and we are now good I feel sorry I was almost losing my babe
"Tell us more, we are happy to hear that" Alex interjected Ezra continued: Well, you see, Nana and I have been going through a lot but we could not communicate So today, both of us decided to work things out Nana has always been a supportive girl and I never had time to talk to her I was so hard on her that she couldn't open up about anything at all You see, Nana had some condition in which she was afraid of telling me and she really wanted someone whom she could talk to. I felt bad I wasn't that person because of how I made her feel. She thought that maybe she would loose me if she ever disclosed After our latest deep conversation, Nana had decided to open up and I really felt her. Bro, I realized that I had a gem with me. Communication is everything and am sorry for getting too deep into my traditions and forgot the current world we are living in We are now together and am willing to support her in all what she will be doing
Nana had a condition that could affect her fertility It was genetic She needed someone whom she could talk to and still be together despite that Opening up to her boyfriend made a lot of difference Soon after we parted ways, we all went home happy All our differences came to an end
No one is born with a guard up Walls are built when you've loved openly, with your heart on your sleeve, given free love unconditionally

But, after many years, we’ve developed a pretty good system for making sure we pack all the essentials. What if you didn’t have to wonder exactly what to bring camping? We know it can seem overwhelming when you’re heading out camping for the first time – or even the 10th time.

This was unexpected. She knew she just passed away; she knew nothing of what happened Not wanting to believe it, she tried to reason with herself that it was just a weird dream. However, the strange feeling of knowledge over her death wouldn't go away Peris narrates the tension in the waiting room
I was inclined to turn to the guy sitting beside me and ask, “Do you see me?” I really wanted to, but if he could I figured it would creep her out; and if he couldn’t, well, that would mean something worse. I had been sitting there for two hours - watching people come, sit and wait their turn to be called by the nurse, and then they were gone; I had been sitting for two hours ever since the nurse hinted on me that all was well Since then, no one had spoken to me or even made eye contact with me So, I couldn’t help but think maybe I had died and was now just a spirit trapped in this waiting room The only words that kept my hope alive were the nurses ’ words I cared less about the bad news as long as my sister was in a stable condition After what seemed eternity, the nurse came back calling Luckily it was my turn and she took me to a room, adjacent to the reception, and we started talking Hanna had some other underlying health condition Besides that, the doctors did their best to save her According to the nurse, the best thing we did was to respond very fast If we took more time, we could have lost both Hanna and the unborn baby
As we were talking, her pager alerted of an emergency and she had to leave. “Wait here!” she stammered as she dashed off
This left me puzzled, hoping nothing had happened to Hannah I wouldn’t leave with that guilt. I was tempted to call my parents but that would open the pandoras box
I held to my calm, whispering rapid prayers with unending promises of how I would change if His mercies came through this hour of need I was revolving around tension and burn out when another nurse came through the door She was to give me updates on how my sister was doing She questioned of my relationship with the patient She was more direct than the first one She needed straight answers on her prior whereabouts and if I knew anything queer about her She assured me of her confidentiality, promising to go shush about it I explained it to her Everything In black and white It is after that, that she opened up that my sister was expectant and the pregnancy had been affected to an extent that a surgery was eminent “What’s the extent of the damage? Will they be fine?” I asked fretted Before she could answer, I grabbed my hip flask from the bag and chugged a shot of Bloom whiskey I was now ready to listen She started off with some encouragement before narrowing down to the dire news It was a catch22 situation How did we even find our self here? I could shoot Jeff right now Indeed, men are dogs and this one was a special breed There was no way one could be so evil I took another chug as she continued to explain the atrocity that was unfolding.
“In a nutshell- It’s either we save the unborn baby or we lose the baby and save the mum which also comes with a condition that she will never be able to conceive again, If you have her spouses number or any family member you can consult and give us the way forward ” she eloquently laid it bare before capping it with “ time is of the essence!”
It can be challenging to stick to the guidelines for pregnancy weight gain, especially if you ' ve never craved carbohydrates so much in your life, and everywhere you turn people encourage you to eat for two. Our wellness nut, IVY MULUKA advices on some simple ways to avoid gaining too much weight during pregnancy
The most important thing you can do before getting pregnant, in addition to taking prenatal vitamins, is to start your pregnancy at a healthy weight More than half of Kenyan women are overweight or obese when they become pregnant, putting them at risk of complications Most women should gain somewhere between 12 -16 kilograms during pregnancy Most will gain 1-2 kilograms during the first trimester, and then ½ a kilogram a week for the rest of the pregnancy The amount of weight gain depends on your situation Overweight women need to gain less 7 -11 kilograms or less, depending on their pre-pregnancy weight while underweight women will need to gain around 13-18 kilograms Women having twins need to gain around 16 5-24 5 kilograms Losing even a little weight before becoming pregnant can decrease your risks and improve your health
5 Secrets to Prevent Excess Weight Gain During Pregnancy
Eat balanced meals and Don’t Eat for Two
1 You need about 340 extra calories a day during the second trimester and 450 extra calories daily in the third trimester Focus on small, frequent meals that are high in protein, nourishing fat, and complex carbohydrates Then choose healthy snacks between meals as they help maintain your blood sugar stay level throughout the day so you're less likely to feel starving at dinnertime
2 Drink Water It's important to avoid dehydration during pregnancy – and drinking enough water (8 to 12 cups) has the added benefit of helping you feel satisfied between meals and snacks You can also monitor urine color to see when to hydrate: If it's dark yellow or cloudy, your body needs more fluids Sip throughout the day to keep your urine color pale yellow or clear – a sign of proper hydration 3 Make your cravings constructive No one expects you to avoid French fries and ice cream completely when you're pregnant After all, food cravings come with the territory The key is to satisfy your urges while getting the protein and healthy fats that you and your baby need (and that will help you feel full) 4 Choose complex carbs Carbohydrates can be a pregnant woman's best friend, especially if you're battling the nausea and vomiting of morning sickness. Most simple carbs raise your blood sugar without giving you the nutrition that comes with whole grains It’s better to reach for complex carbohydrates – such as beans, fruits and vegetables, brown rice, quinoa, and whole grain breads and pastas Have some Fibe and Protein at every meal 5 Start a simple walking routine One of the most valuable things a pregnant woman can do is walk For expecting moms who are new to exercise, they can try a 10 – minutes’ walk a day and every 30 days they can add another 10 minutes in the walk, so that by the end of the first trimester they're walking 30 minutes daily, which they can continue to do for the rest of pregnancy

Multiples lives get disrupted when a marriage breaks, which is why it is so important to handle it with sensitivity on screen While every breakup is different, some people find that one moment can really bring things into perspective DANIEL NDHIWA narrates
Some situations bring two people together whether good or bad. If you find yourself in a predicament that is common, your bond becomes stronger You sometimes get solution from each other Ben and I had been friends for over a long period of time We grew up together. Despite joining different campuses and high schools, we maintained our friendship and always tried to catch up on our free times and we kept in touch on phone If there is anyone that knows Ben, that's me If there is anyone that knows me, that's Ben. Nairobi can be a fickle place, but we have remained friends from childhood throughout our one-plus decade in hustle. We were real with each other. The only way to have a real bromance is if you're genuinely fond of each other
We could share everything together From relationships to who banged who He knew whom I was seriously dating and I knew his crush and his girlfriend. There wasn't anything that he could hide from me aside from what he recently came to tell me Later, he realized that I was in the same situation
Marina tavern is one of those places we could always meet and get some booze together So, this day, we had our usual Kenya Original beers Then came in cold and every sip made the day even look better. Ben looked lost in his thoughts. That was unlike him But for sure, he had a heavy chest and it was only a matter of time the thoughts exploded Ben did not know where to start but he felt like he had reached the end. As we were taking some drinks, Ben decided to open up about what has been pulling him back on our meet ups I had realized that his wife and his daughter are no longer with him despite having stayed together for over five years.
Recently, I thought ben had maybe decided to take the wife and kid to his shagz but that was not the case Divorces can be tricky and tough Multiple lives get destroyed when a marriage breaks He started: Bro, you see, am no longer with Kerry You know Mila, my daughter, she is not my biological daughter When I came to realize this, I felt so low. I wanted to die. I was living for her. She was the reason why I worked so hard
How did you know about this? I asked him
Every silver lining has its cloud. Well, you know Rita? Kerry's best friend? Ooh yes I do! I answered We had some drinks together with her Kerry, Rita and I My ex wife, Kerry really trusted her friend Rita with me. Rita was like a sister to me.
She could spend some night at my place in a guest room So this time as we were taking some drink, Rita jokingly asked me, "you know we are in Nairobi, what if Mila is not your daughter? Lol " I never took this as a joke I laughed it off but later went and did the unthinkable Before that, I asked her what made her ask me that. She did not answer. This time, Kerry had rushed to the washroom She came back and we continued having our drinks
So, what's the unthinkable thing you did? Well, a month later, I decided and went to so some DNA test After a week, I went for the results and realized that Mila is not my biological daughter I have been raising Sam's daughter. Sam is not Kerry's favourite cousin but Mila's dad. How did you know that about Sam?
Well, as my daughter was having her mom's phone one day, Rita's text popped up and I read That time, Kerry had left her phone because she knew she was not going to take much time The text read, " Babygirl, what would you do when your hubby realizes that Sam is not your cousin and he is Mila's dad?" Bro, I deleted the text Much later, I couldn't take it anymore I decided to tell Kerry that I know the truth Although it took a year to tell her this, I truly understand how you were betrayed by your girlfriend. Unlike you, I don't think I can raise Mila anymore the way you are raising Keicy knowing very well she is not your daughter Tbc
