The fiesta traces its ori- gins to a horse race in Germany in 1810, to celebrate the wedding of Princess Therese of Saxony-Hildburghausen and Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig. The public festivi- ties have over the decades grown into an annual month-long carnival that borrows its name from the venue of the original event, which borrows its name from the bride.

He had never worked at a company that of- fered online payments, but took a bold step to launch the product, and had a rosy image of how successful he would become.

Since they didn’t have ready customers for the first seven months, the duo used to be ICT trainers for survival, and the first client knocked on their door on the eighth month. From then, the business continued to grow gradually, and currently, it has over 105 em- ployees – 80 of them in Kenya and the rest in other countries the company has expanded to.

Face masks are a great way to rid the face of dead skin cells that dull its appearance, and maintain a glowing and beautiful skin. Here are masks you can make from ingredients readily available at home. Cocoa and coffee mask: It’s great for decreasing puffiness in the face and eye area, and also brightening the skin. You will need one tablespoon of fine ground espresso coffee beans, one tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and two tablespoons of dairy product, whole milk, cream or plain yoghurt. An egg, coconut milk or olive oil may also be used in place of dairy products for dehydrated skin. Also, one tablespoons of honey or lemon juice for oily skin. +036-%;%:%19223 Mix the coffee and cocoa powder in a bowl Sporty casual is not an easy look to pull off, as the aesthetic is usually not considered fashionable. then add the dairy product and stir until a Gloria Wavamunno managed to have her designs look stylish with silhouettes that cleverly draped smooth paste forms. over the body effortlessly. The mix of black and gold accents made the outfits more elegant. Apply the paste to your clean face and neck and let it dry. Use a wet washcloth to loosen the mask from your skin after 15 minutes. Press it on your skin instead of rubbing, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Mix one tablespoon of plain yoghurt with one tablespoon of honey then apply to your face and leave it on for 15 minutes before washing it off. Egg white and yoghurt mask: It is ideal for moistening, smoothening and tightening the skin. Use two egg whites and two tablespoons of natural yoghurt. Avoid using sweetened or flavoured yoghurt as it may lead to skin irritation. Begin by separating the egg white from the yolk and mix with yoghurt in a bowl. Apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing it with warm water. Cucumber mask: It’s great for cooling, hydrating and soothing the skin. Wash and cut a chilled cucumber into thin circles then apply it in a circular motion to your entire facial surface including your eyes. Lie down and let the cucumber rest on your skin for 15 minutes before rinsing off with cold water. You can also opt to add plain yoghurt to this mask.

Since we had already established a strong NAMIBIA friendship, I asked her out. It wasn’t easy at MC: JILLO JAMWAKA, first because she was a hard nut to crack. I HOPE FM PRESENTER kept pursuing her and she finally said ‘Yes’ in January 2017. PHOTO AND VIDEOGRAPHY: GANDA How long did you date? We dated for five months (officially boy- PHOTOGRAPHY friend and girlfriend), and in May 2017, I asked CAKE: LYNNS BAKES her to marry me. It might sound crazy, but we had been best friends for years. Rawder: The proposal was the best day ever for me. Jackson knew that I don’t like public stunts, so, one evening after work, we met at a hotel in town that was uncrowded. He went on his knee with a ring and proposed. I gladly said ‘Yes’. I couldn’t sleep that evening; I spent the night thanking God in tears, because to me, Jackson was the man I desired to spend the rest of my life with.

How was the process of planning your wed- ding? Did you involve a planner or a commit- tee? We have always wanted a simple wedding, with only what we can afford. So, we did not have a planner or committee or tea party. We only approached a few friends and family for financial support (some came through, some did not). Three weeks to the wedding, we formed a logistics team to help us out with the day’s coordination. We thank God for giving us the wisdom. We cut the cost of nearly ev- erything and paid for only what we could not do without. We even reduced the number of guests from 300 to 150. We did not publicise the wedding, only sending invites to friends and family. We came up with a unique pro- gramme to make it simpler. Since most guests came at the reception, we were joined at that time after guests had eaten.

Did you face any challenges? Jackson: Our main challenge was distance. I work in the US, so, planning the wedding with my fiancée on phone was crazy. Getting the providers, consulting and making payments Love was extra hectic, especially because of the time difference. I came back in the country a week to the wedding for final touches. Luck- ily, we had a wonderful mentor couple, Mr and Mrs John Kimani, who went many extra miles to support us. We had a few Christians telling us how we must be joined in the sanctuary and not in a garden, but we know that our God is omnipresent. We went ahead. In that garden, God was present.

Did your wedding turn out as you expected? We thought inviting people for a wedding reception at 11:30am and serving lunch be- brewed fore we were joined would be challenging, but people kept time. Everything worked out well, except finishing two hours later than planned because we brought a dancing community together.

What was the theme of your wedding? Shades of purple. We wanted to remind our- selves that we are royalty; children of the Most in radio High King. You had no bridal party Rawder: No, we didn’t. Our wedding was simple, as we only had one flower girl, my 11-year-old daughter Sharline Muhonja. We call her the real princess. This decision helped us cut on cost, logistics and time. We only needed two cars to the wedding and one to the photo shoot.

Advice to couples planning a wedding? You don’t need an expensive wedding to get married. Don’t stress yourself with debts trying to fit in. No matter what the society expects, do what you can and do away with what you cannot. Secondly, don’t expect the people you have supported before to support you. God will send you your own crowd and you will get what needs to be done.  7,3471%68 SAT-SUN October 6-7, 2018 Wik ndi

While it may seem daunting to the uninitiated, there are some simple car maintenance tasks that you can do yourself, saving some hard-earned cash and valuable time in the process. The following can easily be handled with basic tools and in no time. Changing spark plugs: With a plug spanner, this is a fairly simple process. The main rule to remember is to change one spark plug at a time as they are ar- ranged in a specific order. Refer to the manual to get the correct spark plugs for your vehicle and the rest is as simple as remove, replace and re-attaching the spark plug wire. Changing the oil: This again seems more daunting than it really is. First, make sure you have the right oil and that the car is parked on a flat surface and the engine has cooled down.
