A very open and public apology to my love... You know who you are 

A very open and public apology to my love… You know who you are 

It’s time to speak from the heart and not act from fear.  I know what I did to hurt our relationship. From the very start you were paying for things that happened in my life. For so long I created distance between us because I was afraid to love you, whilst suffocating you by being hypersensitive about everything. My behavior pushed you away, and I do not blame you.  It is not fair. You are 100%…

Journey to finding me... 

Journey to finding me… 

Call it a lengthy quarter century crisis but this has been lingering for a while. I am constantly hitting a very thick glass wall, constantly trying to break it with as much strength I can muster. However, I see a crack and it just won’t break, so I retreat. Why does this glass refuse to break? I tried really hard, but I didn’t try long enough. I wasn’t resilient in my efforts… I simply gave up…

Solo Escspe.... Curaçao! 

Solo Escspe…. Curaçao! 

Let’s hop on a plane and explore another ABC island. While they all form part of what is known as the “Dutch Caribbean”, Curaçao embodies a richer Dutch culture that sets it apart from Aruba and Bonaire. The people are diverse in culture because of the island’s geographic location; most speak Dutch, a dialect of Dutch and/or English. Very few people spoke Spanish even though they are in very…

Lets party in… Cancun!

Lets party in… Cancun!

Just as the title says Cancun definitely has a “spring break” “lets party” feel to it, but depending on the time of the year and resort you decide to stay in you can make it more of a chill vacation. Luckily I had a bit of both; sleeping in, laying on the beach and those crazy party nights. My trip to Cancun was over the Winter or New Year’s break and it was definitely very lively. The Resorts… I…

Easy Breezy Beautiful Bond Girl Makeup

Easy Breezy Beautiful Bond Girl Makeup

So you know that moment watching Die another day and you just so badly wanted to be as glamorous as Halle Berry, if only for a moment. Let’s face it… we could never be Halle Berry but looking like a gorgeous Bong girl can be accomplished, especially in a very inexpensive way. I had a 007 themed photo shoot (just for fun) with my bf and this was the makeup look we accomplished. Exactly what I…

A Catalan Dream… Barcelona!

A Catalan Dream… Barcelona!

Let me start by saying of all the places I have visited; this was by far my favorite. Everything about this gorgeous Catalan city is fascinating, so rich in culture and history it took my breath away. On our first day in Barcelona we spent wandering up and down Las Ramblas in the August heat. This boulevard cuts through the center of the city and is buzzing with Barcelonan life. My first try at…

The Rockies- Colorado!

Ever since I was a little girl, I had this theory that I melt snow. I would travel out of sunny Trinidad and Tobago to a cold country almost every winter break since 14. The strange part was that for as long as I was there, I would never see snow. I would get a call when I landed back home that it was snowing. So yea… I drove the snow away L. My trip to Colorado was somewhat different though. I…

Rocking 25 the Chic way!

Rocking 25 the Chic way!

25 years old… that age where you’re “not a girl but not yet a woman”. Yes, I quoted Britney Spears. Its more like the initial stages of womanhood. For many a few years back you thought you would have everything figured out by this age and not much has changed since then.  We have questions! Has life really changed? What about my style, at 25 should my style have changed? Do I still wear skinny…

Sultry Valentine’s Look 

So it’s Valentine’s Day once again… The day for wearing red, roses, chocolates and romance. Here is my very simple yet sexy Valentine’s look. I always believe in simplicity and never going overboard with my makeup and fashion. Less is more for me…     I use a lot of natural colors to get my subtle smokey look.

"The Rock"- Barbados

Ok let me start my saying this is definitely one of the top three party islands in the Caribbean. I may be biased because i'm from the land of calypso and soca and no one can party like a Trini but...
