An African City

So recently I came across a new show (maybe just new to me) named an African City.  An African City is a show about 5 women from different countries in African that have all returned from the US or London to start new lives in Ghana.  The show chronicles the lives, careers, relationships of these five friends who share their candid journeys on the show.

There are issues that come up in the show that many of us are faced with, buying real estate, natural hair, seeing the one that got away and contemporary issues that are faced on the continent.  The women are frank, fashionable friends and fabulous.  The show also showcases the wonderful fashion that the continent of Africa has to offer.

I really enjoy the fact that the episodes highlight issues that happen in Africa and that are also happening in America.  There is an episode that addresses the AIDS epidemic on the continent and I feel that the way the writers dealt with the issue was excellent.  There were other issues that came up such as when you see your ex with his new boo, or when you first come back home and end up at your parent’s house.  While not as serious as the AIDS issue, definitely issues that some of us has faced as we come of age.

I binged watched Season 1 and cannot wait for Season 2 to come out.  The show is on You Tube or online at www.africancity.tv.

 

 

Honeywell Console Humidifier

Recently, I received a Honeywell Console Humidifier.  Due to the fact that it gets extremely warm and stuff in my house, this was a welcome gift.  I had been using be regular unnamed humidifier, since my previous humidifier almost caught fire a year ago, and I can say that it often a bit much to keep it operating and to remember to unplug it when I leave home.

Honeywell has saved me from that.  I love this Humidifier.  I must admit that I was quite intimidated when I opened the box to find out that it was a lot larger than most humidifiers you see in the stores.  It also took me a few days to read the manual and figure out that it is really 4 separate pieces (two water reservoirs, the base and the actual operating fan).  After a few placement issues I finally got it operational.

First of all with the two water reservoirs, you do not have to fill it often.  There is also a cool mist that helps to control the humidity.  The most important and best feature in my opinion is the power control, so I can switch it off and not worry about unplugging.  Another great feature is the automatic shut off.  When the room gets to the desired humidity, (oh did I mention that there is a gauge on the machine that regulates how much or how little humidity you want to add) the machine automatically shuts off?   There are also lights to show when the machine is out of water and when it is working well.  It has been a welcome addition to my home and I would recommend it for those who need a humidifier in there home.
