Get to know Me

“You only live once; you may as well be amusing,” Coco Chanel

Happy Monday  🙂 . Trust you are well this rainy Monday. Today am taking things in a different turn, as the title suggests. I thought it would be fun and it was about time you got to know who this Simply Siro girl is plus tomorrow been my birthday, I was feeling generous with info about me. Disclaimer y’all don’t judge me haha plus enjoy.

So today there will be no facts, wait, there will be facts about me. Where to start? So basics…

Full name? Michelle Nyanduko Siro

When was I born? Like I said tomorrow! Wuhuu! April 5th 1992, age? You do the math hehe like seriously, math was my worst subject but I love sciences, except the science of numbers. I’m the last born, I have two brothers and a sister whom I follow and is nearly a decade older, talk about a huge age gap.

Favourite colour? I love bright colours, especially pink. Growing up I never wanted to admit that I loved pink I felt it was a cliché and too girly so lied for years it was blue, been a kid was so simple, how was that an issue, seriously?

How do I like my eggs? Sunny side up or poached with a runny yolk, the way it’s supposed to be, yum. But people who know this get so grossed out and say it’s raw, no it aint! On the topic of food I seriously love cooking and eating food but growing up food was the enemy. I’m always whipping up new things in the kitchen with Google my friend and amazing recipes. I will be sharing some pretty soon 🙂 . I almost went to culinary school to become a professional chef but chose another career.

What did I study/profession? I studied mass communication and Public Relations at Daystar University. The media world is so crazy and fun at the same time. I have met the most interesting characters in this profession, but after all they are part of the creative’s of our society and such people are always interesting.

What would I be doing if not media? Hmm either a chef or an athlete. Yap! I am a very fast sprinter 100m, 200m and 100×4 (relay) my best time for the 100m dash is 12 seconds, pretty fast right? I’m also a swimmer; favourite stroke is freestyle and butterfly. In high school I was the swimming team captain and won medals and quite a number of certificates. Let me just say any sport that requires an extension outside my body i.e. a ball, racket or bat I’m pathetic, I believe I have horrible eye-hand coordination. Trust me I have tried them all from tennis, basketball, volleyball to even badminton, terrible just terrible.

Why did I start my blog? I love fashion and felt that I had something to offer other than style i.e. knowledge that fashion goes beyond an outfit and style, it goes deeper, it’s history, it’s art. My first fashion inspiration came from my parents, as I mentioned before in this post.

So that’s just a small glimpse of me 🙂 . If you are curious you can ask me more questions on the comment section, twitter, facebook, instagram or email. Or if you would like to see more posts like this in the future do let me know. As always…

keep smiling

simply Siro 🙂
