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 [...]
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
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 [...]
I am not now, nor have I ever been a breakfast person, but if I was, a 5 minute breakfast is exactly what I would be making. In fact, I used to fully hate having breakfast so much, I would dodge my mother in the mornings to avoid having breakfast or tea. She’d turn her [...]
What would you tell your younger self? That is the question of centuries old. The hashtag #By23 had me thinking about all the ways I struggled as a young adult, particularly during University. https://twitter.com/ShandeanReid/status/1307069155049435148?s=20 A few months ago there was a #By23 hashtag trending on Twitter. The origin of the trend was political, nevertheless, the [...]
I was listening to a podcast and the topic of discussion was centred around a young woman who said that she was single until she was married due to …Single Til Married?
Hey guys! I thought I’d do something a little bit different with this blog and share household items and products I’ve been loving and using for some…Cleaning Favorites – The Jamaican Edition Pt 1
Who does want fresher, brighter laundry? It’s the holidays and we know as Jamaicans, Christmas cyah keep inna dutty house.Translation: We can’t celebrate Christmas in a dirty house. One of the consequences of ‘spring’ cleaning is a throng of laundry, stemming from changing curtains, tablecloths, coverings and whatever else you can name. It comes as [...]
lI've been living with migraines since I was 15 year-old. When the are perpetual, they are called chronic migraines. Chronic migraines are defined by frequency, and are recognised to be having at least 15 headache days a month, with at least 8 days of having headaches with migraine features, for more than 3 months. I [...]
This morning, as I made myself my second cup of coffee, I got to thinking, coffee at hotels are really awful. I don’t know why that thought came to me but yea it did so I decided to pen this short talk. Today is World Mental Health Day. Who decided these days anyway? Seems there [...]
Last night, for the longest time in 'I don't know how long' I spent about three hours on Skype with two girlfriends. We talked. A lot. About many, many things including social media and perception. As the conversation grew wings and took on varying subject matters, I listened to how they felt about perception, online [...]
Being married to a doctor is brutal. Even more so when said doctor is a resident. From the time my husband and I started dating, his professional path was something that I took honest consideration about, among other things. Not to be a brat, but as someone who was a student nurse myself once upon [...]
You won’t believe this, but I bought the first bottle of sunflower oil based on a tweet that said something about oil lifting boobs. I’m not gonna lie, I had barely B-Cup boobs pre-pregnancy, and during breastfeeding found myself busting out of a D-Cup. Now I am back to a barely B-Cup after breastfeeding for [...]
I celebrated my birthday this past weekend at the Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa. When the shit hit the fan in March and everything recreational went into lockdown, I wondered if it would carry through until August. Common sense said most likely it would, and though my birthdays are usually spent pretty low-key and [...]
My Greatest Fear is a Life Un-lived. Who told you you're going to get 50, 70 or 90 years of life? If you knew you would die at 40, would you approach your life the same way? If you knew you have a disability at 30 or 40 years old, what would you do differently? [...]
Blogging is not a sprint. It’s a marathon. I read that somewhere this week, and it might have been the kick I needed to jump start my engine. See, since this quarantine thing started, I’ve opened a blank page to write a blog post a couple of dozen times, but always end up closing the [...]
More tab a year ago, I tried to get my podcast But First, Coffee going. Failing miserably, I finally conceded that there was no way I could diligently find the time to record a podcast with the noise bug that is my full time charge. But writing? You bet your cutet little bitton nose I [...]
Hey, guysss! It’s Q4 already. The final quarter or 2019. I hate to say it, but I’ve found myself in a dry patch where blog posts are concerned. I am at a loss with topics and though I try not to ‘post just to post’, that’s exactly what I’m doing right now and I have [...]
Hey guys! I thought I'd do something a little bit different with this blog and share household items and products I've been loving and using for some time now. I'd been on a YouTube dry spell for while and as I catch up the other day, I realized I am really into house decor and [...]
One beautiful Sunday morning, I felt the need to get out of the house. After a few minutes, we settled for going to Cane River, St. Andrew, a hidden gem with a waterfall. We drove through St. Andrew rather than St. Thomas, and may have gotten a little bit lost before getting there. After a [...]

As the conversation grew wings and took on varying subject matters, I listened to how they felt about perception, online [...]
Have you even had an ovarian cyst rupture or slow leak? I've been struggling with themleaking and rupturing for a while now. I posted a video on my Instagram teasing about a possible pregnancy some weeks ago. After a flurry of messages in my inbox, I came clean. I wasn't (am not) pregnant at all. [...]
Yes, you read that right. I was almost kidnapped. This blog post is a mite different from anything I've shared on here. It's darker, a piece of me I still actively sometimes struggle with. The other day I mentioned the effect a past experience had on me to a friend. She asked me a crucial question, [...]
This little gem is a secluded hideaway in Robin's Bay, St. Mary and I decided to make a trip of it with when my friend, Shawna (Colette) came to visit. We headed out on the Saturday before Mother's Day. It's about an hour and a half drive from Ocho Rios. I wouldn't say it was [...]
Aveeno is well known for gentle skincare products. I've used a few products from the Positively Radiant line and it suddenly dawned on me that I should do reviews of my favourite products. The Positively Radiant line is AWESOME! The pads come in a well sealed plastic jar. They are well saturated with soapy product, with [...]
