Why I Started Afternoomi

Why I Started Afternoomi

I used to scroll through my evenings like they were background noise.
Between bedtime routines, WhatsApp group chats, and that never-ending to-do list, I realised something: I was always on, but rarely with myself.

Afternoomi was born in the quiet in-between. That rare moment when the house is still, the kettle is on, and for once… you remember who you are outside of the roles you play.

I’d always wanted to go to those quirky little craft classes or book an afternoon tea just because — but I’d wait. For the perfect time. The right friend. The organised calendar.
Spoiler: it never came.

So I made it myself.

Afternoomi is my love letter to every woman who just wants to do something nice for herself — without needing a plus one.
It’s where creativity meets calm.
It’s paint night with no pressure.
It’s a colouring-in club with tea and cake.
It’s a moment to say yes, just because.

This is just the beginning. But you’re already part of it.

Let this be your first yes.
