When I was packing travel essentials for trip across the island last weekend, I found myself distracted in the middle of packing and needed some time to pull myself together. When I resumed, I thought I was picking up where I left off, but somewhere in between, I packed my four year's old's swimsuit bottoms [...]
My family and I spent a weekend recently at Royalton White Sands and Blue Waters resort to celebrate our sixth wedding anniversary. With curfews still in effect on the island, there not much we can still do that we used to do before this monument shift in everyday life, but we can still do hotel [...]
As a mom, the power of essential oils for immediate relief of congestion cannot be overstated. At least not for me. My daughter doesn’t get sick very often. Even just a mild case of the sniffles or a cough happens about once a year, and when it happens, I’m on it like white on rice. [...]
If you haven’t seen Behind Her Eyes on Netflix and you plan to, or want to savour the opportunity to do so, this post is not for you. Save it, watch and come back later. This is your official spoiler notice. Now then, if you are still reading, you have forfeited your right to complain. [...]
On Valentine’s Day, my husband and I celebrated six years of marriage which got me thinking about some things I can share about marriage as homage; Myths about marriage came to mind. Some things are shared time and again, to the point where people wonder if the pretty rose coloured marriages we see on social [...]
Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Cream Cleanser is the cleanser I chose to dip my toe back into other brands when my skin issues cleared up. Neutrogena has been around a long time and I've been in love with them since I was a teenager and my aunt who was a sales and promotional [...]
Last June (2018), my skin decided to really wild out and I was introduced to Ole Henriksen products by a friend. I had apparently developed two types…Ole Henriksen for Skincare Recovery
As a Jamaican Blogger, I began wondering 'what is blogging?' only after I wrote my first post in notes on my phone, started up a site and then published. I didn't read any blogs, except my husband's soccer blog on the regular. That was nearly five years ago. The local blogging community has since grown [...]
Everyone wants a smell good house. “I want my house smelling frowzy.” Said no one, ever. These last few months have flipped a switch (maybe it’s that grown woman, nesting bug), and I’ve really been absorbed in making the house homier, and a major part of that is in fact, smell. I’ve done a lot [...]
Wondering how you're going to celebrate Valentine's Day with Kids? If anyone, knows about this one, it's me. Between you and me, my husband and I haven't yet had a chance to celebrate Valentine's Day without our kids soak in the middle of it for the last four years. Mind you, Valentine's Day is also [...]
I never thought I would be the person to be talking about Vegan anything, let alone vegan ice cream. But hear me out, since I have migraines and it affects my consumption of dairy products, I didn't eat ice cream too often and when I did, I'd have to contend with headaches. Then a few [...]
Looking for Valentine's Day ideas for 2021? The international lovebirds day is looking a little different than we are used to in 2021. Aside from the fact that there is a global health crisis, we've all been careened into spending more time at home. For most of us, it will have been nearly a year. [...]
As far as tests go, for a woman, it doesn't get more invasive than your first Pap Smear. If you've never had one, you're bound to be nervous about the experience. You can ask your doctor what its like, but most of us want to hear the finer, more intimate and personal stuff about the [...]
Having dry skin can be really embarrassing, and tiresome to care for. You can find yourself hopping from brand to brand looking for that ‘one’. The truth is, you may need more than that. You wouldn't know it by just looking at me, but I've had dry skin for as long as I can remember [...]
My husband and I cautiously made the decision to send our daughter back to face to face classes this January after a few false starts last year. Eventually, hubby and I assessed the situation on an environmental level, on a personal level as individual parents and as a unit, and then incorporated the school's protocols [...]
In 2021, I will have been blogging for five years. When I just started out, my inbox would full up with friends and acquaintances looking for advice on how to start blogging themselves. Of course, I shared what I knew, but looking back, it wasn't nearly as much as I know about the topic now, [...]
Today, I decided to do a get to know me post. I’ve wanted to do this for a while now, so that I can form a connection with all the new (and old) subscribers of my blog. I love finding out about the bloggers of the blog I enjoy. I want to continue to foster [...]
The title 'Daily Cleaning Tips for Busy Moms' played on my nerves a little. I mean, what mom isn't busy? Even if you are a SAHM, and you have one kid, housework will still kick your butt! Never mind all the other things moms need to do! Nonetheless, I thought I would share a few [...]
Hey loves, I wanted to share six must-haves for the new mom with you guys. When I had my baby, I was starting from ground zero on the knowledge of …6 Must-Haves for the New Mom
DIY Beauty tips are essential, wouldn’t you agree? I’ve often heard that I am the kind of woman one would label as high maintenance. See, this isn’t …DIY Beauty Tips
One of my favourite authors, Eric Jerome Dickey died this week. It came as a shock to me and I truly felt it as a loss to the literary industry. I’ve been reading his work for the better part of two decades, long before I had any right as a young teenager. That said, I [...]
Vision boards are amazing! Let's start there. They are freaking amazing and after the year we've all had, a 2021 vision board is definitely what we all need. I made my first vision board back in 2018 with a group of friends and family having a whole party. I have never been extrinsically motivated. So [...]
This blog post is for the ladies, and maybe a few curious gents. We are talking about menstrual cups! We are going to be graphic about it, too. So, if your stomach is weak and you aren't up for a full-on adult discussion about periods, pads and cups, this would be your cue to exit [...]
Hey, the loves! Welcome back to my blog. I hope you’re having an awesome ‘time between Christmas and New Years’ couple of days. Well, I’m interrupting. We’re having a BLOG PARTY! As Blogmas reminded me, there are lots of relatable, fun and interesting blogs here that I never come across. The idea of meeting here [...]
I feel like much of the financial education advice put out there says it's geared to everyone and but doesn't tell us how to manage money in marriage, in general, or how to create wealth. I don't find that to be the case most of the time at all. Much of it considers the family [...]
