andika juu write it up skip to content andika juu write it up menu blog about contact my memorial day weekend june 1 2021 andika juu leave a comment memorial weekend was on the cool and windy side here which made for some blustery outdoor activities i spent most of saturday outside watching a soccer tournament with a friend wearing my winter coat made it feel like we had stepped backwards in time to the cold months i am very happy to see warmer temperatures on the docket for this week although i received an invitation to spend memorial day with a friend i opted to stay home to catch up on some much needed cooking cleaning and laundry i felt very productive and even managed to get some decent relaxation time too now that it is tuesday i am back to work after the holiday weekend there s something about a 3 day weekend that makes me feel extra rejuvenated what did you do for memorial weekend when was the last time you went to a sports event after doing laundry do you fold and put it away immediately or does it sit for a few days hot out may 25 2021 andika juu leave a comment summer seems to have officially arrived with temps in the 80 s and 90 s this week i gotta say i love it i am a warm weather lover and would gladly kiss winter snow goodbye for good if i could i am excited for summer bbq s evenings on the patio and hitting up the beach i never get tired of the long days i have been searching for my next book after reading and absolutely loving vanishing half and invention of wings i have found myself in a bit of a dry spell nothing seems to be able to stand up to these two incredible reads so i have set aside my kindle for the time being if you have any recommendations please leave a comment and let me know i tried to get into shadow and bone but for some reason it did not land with me someone suggested that i try the books so i ll think about that in the meantime what are your favorite shows right now i am watching nancy drew on hbomax and also really enjoyed

denman may 16 2021 andika juu leave a comment it s a sunday afternoon and i am loving the mild spring temperatures today is what i would consider perfect warm enough for a t shirt but not humid i may hang out at the park for a bit this afternoon any curly hair guys or gals out there interested in trying the famous denman brush i ve been seeing a lot of buzz about this on social media and have been curious to give it a go on my type 3b curls i went ahead and placed the order for a d31 denman brush from their website and will be keeping an eye out for a package in the near future in other news i am hopeful that travel will start to open up over the next year so that i can plan a trip to see my family i have not seen my overseas family since before the pandemic began and i miss them where would you go if you could plan a trip right now curly haired girls out there especially those with type 3 curls what are your favorite styling products what are you up to this sunday afternoon hi again may 4 2021 andika juu leave a comment i m back from an unplanned hiatus long story short life has been a lot but things are starting to find some normalcy again so here we are how has the pandemic been for you i have adjusted to the work from home lifestyle and all the new normals that came along with it so much so that i find myself hoping to work from home for the long term even though my employer is now discussing bringing us back to the office this fall in the past few months i read a couple amazing books that i fully recommend the first is the vanishing half by brit bennett and the second is the invention of wings by sue monk kidd both amazing anyone looking for their next great read should check both of these out they are definite page turners i ve also been getting into podcasts recently i listened to season 1 of serial years ago and recently binged seasons 2 and 3 very interesting i d like to find more good podcasts to listen to it is so easy to play while doing chores and things around the house got any books podcasts to recommend have you picked up any new hobbies habits during the pandemic what have you been up to lately the next chapter september 27 2020 andika juu leave a comment it was new and exciting she bubbled over with anticipation nothing was as it had been everything was clear she reveled in the novelty of it all welcoming the flitting butterflies tumbling across her lungs it was hard to breathe this close to him but she did not for a moment consider taking a step back book review red queen by victoria aveyard september 10 2020 andika juu leave a comment i just finished red queen and in a nutshell it is a good one if you love young adult fantasy you will enjoy this one think hunger games meets divergent meets avengers between the love triangle or square superhero powers social commentary and plot twists this book took me on a ride the main character mare is a teenage girl who finds herself caught in the midst of a royal war bigger than she bargained for the book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger which leads into the 2nd book her family has very little so she grows up scrapping her way through life i appreciate the social parallels with society instead of skin color dividing races it is blood color that divides them the people with silver blood have all the privilege whereas those with red blood have none it is an interesting take on the tensions that are present in our society and culture today the characters seem well developed and the plot is quite interesting however is it just me or do teens in books movies tend to act way too mature for their ages mare and her counterparts are around 15 17 years old but somehow act like full grown adults soldiers spies criminals and killers i mean can kids just be kids this is how i feel every time i read one of these young adult fantasy books but it could just be me so far so good with the series i start book 2 tonight the man on the ladder september 8 2020 september 8 2020 andika juu leave a comment the little girl carefully tied a blue dish towel to her head positioning it just so pretending to flip her long hair over her shoulder she wandered outside feeling the sun warm her shoulders and bare feet hello she called imagining a world filled with colorful bunnies and flying fairies she peeked around the corner of the house pretending to hide from imaginary bad guys hello a man s voice pierced her make believe world startling her the blue dish towel slipped off her head as she spun to see the source of the voice a thin young man stood on a ladder cleaning windows the little girl blinked up at him a wave of embarrassment washed over her as she realized he must have seen her prancing about the lawn bedecked in her dish towel hair and immersed in her imaginary world he calmly continued washing the window pane wiping with smooth practiced swipes back to school september 2 2020 andika juu leave a comment life as a university student was not what she expected for starters everyone was just so nice the bursars lady the resident assistant the librarian everyone was bursting at the seams with niceness in a way maureen had never experienced before in her life she was accustomed to cold politeness but this warmth this was new and so much eye contact it was all a bit much but she decided she could live with it as it wasn t the worst thing in the world maureen dressed quickly before her roommate returned sharing a tiny room with a stranger was not high on her list of favorite things but she made it work her roommate was a wispy little thing from an affluent family who wore nothing but bright prints and crop tops given that maureen was carrying a few extra pounds she was not keen on being seen undressed by her waifly instragram model of a roommate the neighborly september 1 2020 andika juu 2 comments she glanced in the mirror on her way out the door and almost did a double take the woman in the mirror was not someone she saw often her coiffed and glossy reflection gazed back from under curled lashes skin fresh and dewy her normal messy bun was replaced by a sleek low ponytail secured at the nape of her neck who dis she joked at the mirror as she slung her keys up from the counter hey lil lady mrs ramsen called thumbing through envelopes retrieved from the mailbox look at you all dolled up you sure do clean up good her sweet neighbor always had a compliment to give thank you ma am she hopped into her car it sure does feel weird but i gotta put my good face on for this interview go get em girlie mrs ramsen gave a supportive thumbs up i know they ll be lucky to have ya she smiled and waved deeply thankful for her lovely neighbors book review turtles all the way down by john green august 31 2020 andika juu leave a comment unpopular opinion alert i did not enjoy this book i am truly sorry to everyone who loved this book and recommended it to me i feel the same way as when i couldn t get into house of cards or game of thrones when everyone else was obsessed i just don t get it the hype honestly i don t know what else to say about the book i was really looking forward to reading it after seeing rave reviews everywhere but it was not particularly memorable or noteworthy in my opinion i had a tough time getting through it and i feel bad saying that i am not sure the effort was worthwhile the main character suffers from a mental illness ocd and i wanted so badly to love her and the book in general i am just terribly sad that i could not enjoy this book as much as i wanted to although i didn t have great luck with it i hope you will at least give it a chance many people love this book and i support any works that de stigmatize and humanize mental illness posts
