5. I can’t get enough of…

Well done make-up do, complete with eyelashes and lip-gloss.

6. I last cleaned my wardrobe…

I never clean my wardrobe, because all old dresses are essential for weight management. I don’t buy new clothes if the old ones don’t fit.  This is to avoid buying bigger sizes caused by weight gain.

7. I buy my clothes from…

From UK shopping sites. If you need help, order from @Dressupug and I also have custom made to avoid wearing what everyone else has.

8. My worst buy ever was…

Nothing. I am an artist and I never buy anything I do not want. The trick is to wait at least 72 hours before a purchase to know if it is really necessary.

9. The most expensive thing in my wardrobe is…

A collection of my wigs I have collected for more than three years. Their combined cost is about Shs5.8 m.  

10. My workout routine consists of…

Two dance classes a week at the Sheraton Hotel and swimming three days a week. I do 200 laps in two and a half hours. To avoid consuming too much sugar, I cut out pastries and soda from my diet. I do not eat past 8pm and I make sure my meals are balanced; vegetables, protein and carbohydrates.  Also, I am Acholi, so my genetics are blessing me.

11. My beauty essentials are…

Steaming once every two weeks, doing a full body scrub at home or the spa to deal with dead skin, cleansing my face or taking off make-up before bed and not using bleaching elements.  I drink two litres of water every day. 

12. If my day had one extra hour, I would spend it…

On my face making sure my make-up is well done as well as my hair or wig if I am wearing one. I get both done at Mirrors Unisex Salon based in Bukoto and its very affordable.  My face is my passport and I treat it accordingly.

13. My day isn’t  complete without...

A good and healthy breakfast, Simple face and hair touch up during weekdays, I am quite outgoing so on weekends I switch up the looks. Plus never forget my favorite perfume.
