Village www.villagemarket-kenya.com HALLOWEEN FRIGHT NIGHT 26th October

Village Market is known for its epic Halloween parties.

This year there were six of them, so party hopping was the name of the game! At the Rooftop, the little ghouls and boys frolicked at the Groovie Goolies party for kids and strutted their stuff in a fabulous costume fashion show. The Food Court came alive as people danced to the haunting rhythms of the Beathogs band. DJ Deshal brought the party to the Courtyard as he played wicked tunes and DJ ProtĂŠgĂŠ brought down the house at Ozone Trampoline Park. Under the Sea was not left behind with its Halloween Boo Bash. You would have definitely loved our Boo-ling Party at Village Bowl. Throughout the night, our fashion police identified the best costumes and awarded them with Titan watches from Sensations.

DIWALI

27th October Families came out to Village Market to celebrate Diwali in pomp and colour at the Food Court and Court Yard. The crowning jewel of the night was a dance performance by Action in Focus who dazzled the crowd with their bejewelled outfits and scintillating dance moves.

ARTIST

Joseph Kimani aka Cartoon 28 November – 16 December Rooftop Gallery

Cartoon officially known as Joseph Kimani is no stranger in Nairobi’s art scene. Having been born and brought up in the rural area with rich memories about the social life of African women, his work features a rich array of the lifestyle of African women and their clothing that is full of motif patterns.

The different colours on their faces have significant meaning as they portray overcoming tribalism and racism which is a social stigma in our contemporary society.

Again the different colours on their faces reflects a variety of soil colours found in Africa. For example, yellow clay ochre and dark brown reflect the soil found in highland areas in Africa, which are rich for agriculture and livestock farming.

In traditional African societies, women were given social responsibilities in their

feature

families and societies. They were involved in different types of trade like selling farm produce such as fruits, cassava, sweet potatoes as well as baskets for sale and storage of farm produce. In today’s contemporary society, there is still a large number of women involved in work life with young girls and women engaged in schools, colleges and office work.

Inspite of the modern times, Cartoon believes that all is not lost and, as an artist and historian, he still has a lot in his memory of what used to happen in the olden days through stories told by his parents who are still alive as well as the history already stored in archives, schools and libraries. Cartoon is the perfect illustration of a modern African feminist man who believes and appreciates the contributions of an African woman to the African society. He concludes by quipping that his paintings reflect the complete African woman.

Patrick Imanjama

28 November – 16 December Rooftop Gallery Imanjama is a Tanzanian artist whose work is focused on children and the animal kingdom to promote love and peace. He views children and animals as symbols of peace as they are both innocent. He is dismayed that children and animals are not granted their full and equal rights and believes that if adults can torture and kill animals, they are also capable of doing the same to children.

Imanjama likes to use colour to show the joy that can reside in children’s hearts as well as to enlighten minds through their eyes.

Imanjama delights in the energy he gets when using his talent as an artist to illustrate the joy and peace that comes from children and animals. He hopes that his works bring joy to all who get to interact with it.

In the midst of all this is food. As the undoubted food haven destination, we re-visit some of Village Market’s food gems with the more than 45+ delicious options to consider.

Fancy some oysters and champagne? Off The Rocks is Nairobi’s playground for the bold and the beautiful. The outlet serves fresh and local seafood washed down with unique wines by the glass in a comfortable open seating plan reminiscent of Europe’s restaurant culture.

SAVOUR AND INDULGE A few steps to your right get tantalised with Taco serving some serious Mexican tacos with meat or vegetarian options. Savour and indulge in the open seating space as you enjoy great conversations, draught beers and the best margaritas on this side of town. The staff is jovial and will certainly leave you happy.

Think you’ve had enough? Mi Lola Tapas and Wine Bar with their offering of excellent Spanish Tapas, cocktails to shake up your celebration, amazing ambience and top notch service is an out of body experience. Seriously! You might want to venture in a little earlier as no one is ever in a rush to leave.

Metabolic BALANCE M

etabolic Balance® is a scientifically researched nutrition programme from Germany which has been clinically shown to reduce not only obesity but also regulate hormones, the digestive system, allergies and migraine headaches. It has been shown to improve sleep, reduce joint pain and achieve better sugar control. It reverses metabolic syndrome*.

The Metabolic Balance® Programme is now being used by Dr. Khoda in a medically supervised programme to help with hypertension, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, eczema control and premenstrual headaches, amongst many other life style related conditions. In many cases, Dr. Khoda has been able to stop certain medications and achieve the desired results.

This nutrition programme is not a diet

32

– it is based on individual metabolic rates and body composition and has proven results such as guaranteed weight loss that stays off. Each plan is unique and suited to a specific individual. The programme will show one exactly what they should be eating, to maintain the optimal metabolism, hormone and enzyme levels.

THE PROGRAMME Metabolic Balance® programme requires blood tests to be done on an empty stomach (fasting for 10-12 hours), where 33 different parameters are checked and used to create your individual nutrition plan.

The programme has four phases which can take just three months to reach and can also be continued for up to two years.

Dr. Khoda is currently the only doctor in East Africa who is a Metabolic Balance® coach, and is using this programme to improve lives.

DIET: Keep it balanced
