Healthy Glow: Healthy Eating, La Mode & Ramblings

Bienvendos! My name is Katherine N. and I'm a 20-something U.S. Diplomat. This blog is a mix of my love of healthy eating, exercise, ramblings and fashion. I started this blog because I am a certified wanderlust. I have traveled and eaten the cuisines of many countries including: Ghana (where my family is from & where I went to University), Mexico, the Netherlands, South Korea, Malaysia, Canada, Puerto Rico, England, Canada, at least 20 U.S. States, Mexico, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Singapore, Indonesia...just to name a few.

Music Mondays: “Sardine” by Ofori Amponsah

In honor of my impending trip to Ghana I thought it would be fitting to share some music of my heritage. If you are still in the Ghanaian music mood, Ananse, a MixCloud-ologist created a mix of highlife music from the 70’s to early 90’s. Enjoy it here.

I am finally back from my abstinance from social media. Since today is GOOD FRIDAY and I wanted to come back bearing gifts for all my readers (especially the readers who are fond of Ghanaian music). Chicago’s own DJ Bonsu put together a hip-life mix containing the latestest and hottest tunes circulating around Ghana right now.

My verdict? The tape starts out a bit slow, but it is still a great Friday pick me up! Listening to the music makes me even more excited for my upcoming trip to Ghana this summer! Thanks to Adinkra and DJ Bonsu for sharing!
