I stumble upon "Merci me" by chance and boy....this looks great
I would not be surprised if we hear/see more and more in the near future.
Perfect mix of youthful sophistication and distinction
Just because I've got Africa* Douala** on my mind.
I have a dream that one day....
Horror virus news will be replaced by uplifting stories;
and people will swap the saying "I've been to Africa on holidays" to talk about Agadir, Kribi or Vilancoulos the way they talk about Ibiza, Marbella or Mykonos...
One day...

* Because going to Kenya is not the same as going to South Africa, Namibia or
Nigeria. Now please go ahead and tell me about your beautiful holidays in Morocco
* City in Cameroon, Central Africa
African prints are everywhere and I absolutely love it...
Colour your Heart,
Colour your Soul,
Colour your Life

This Guinness video commercial (watch it here) portraying the spirit of the Congolese "Sappeurs" put back a smile on my face and lit up an otherwise dull day.

They say ignorance is bliss
I say innocence really is...
Only God knows what goes on inside a kid's mind but judging by the look on these little faces, you can tell they are ready to reveal their best...
Such candidness reminds me so much of my goddaughter Maelys or my little sisters Tifany and Fabiola when they were younger...
Leila Lopes is her name.
And if you didn't know, now you know! V_V
Sing with me: "Isn't she lovelyyyyyy, isn't she wooonderful"
