By Audrey Kathurima This week I pick the experiment section in the New York magazine, specifically the diet section. http://nymag.com/thecut/2012/08/the-liz-taylor-diet.html It was quite amusing to see the writer trying keep up with the diets of different celebrities. You can clearly tell the diet is disgusting (for some) and should probably be tossed in a dustbin.…

By Audrey Kathurima This is a follow up to an earlier review of Spring Valley Oven. The service was deplorable second time around, and delivery takes years if you call them. By the time you get your food, it’s cold and you obviously couldn’t care because the hunger within you is real. If you have…
The day is finally here. Mankind, Kenya’s premier (and only) experimental band is dropping their new single today. If you don’t know who they are, you best get familiar real quick. They were gracious enough to give us a listen to a snippet of the song, titled “I will find you”. We at #LBK think…

I first heard of him on Facebook when a friend shared a post from Time Magazine’s page. https://time.com/3608115/kanye-west-sam-smith-mashup/ The mash ups are amazing as they get you in the zone. They are mostly of stars you would never think would sound good together,…

These stories were much more than just entertainment: they passed on culture and history, gave warnings, taught the difference…
By Audrey Kathurima This week’s pick of the week is the website:Â http://qz.com/Â another happy accident. The website is both interesting and informative. It introduces you to firsts and it doesn’t force you upon Kim Kardashian’s booty. (Yes, I just put it there.) They say that, “Quartz is a digitally native news outlet, born in 2012, for…
