Hello Beautiful People! I am fresh off my birthday trip! As you all should know by now, I celebrate my birthday every year out of the country. Last year, I went to Amsterdam for my birthday and I was cold and miserable because I became sick due to the change in weather. So, this year I decided I had to be some place warm. You guys know how much I love the Caribbean but since my birthday is…

I Got Saved Trying to Save My Brothers Life
Boy oh boy. Of all the posts I wrote where I was most vulnerable, this has to be the deepest. If you are afraid to write it, that’s a good sign. I suppose you know you’re writing the truth when you are terrified. -Nayyirah Waheed So here it goes… Growing up I protected my brother so fiercely. He was and still is EVERYTHING to me. Somewhere along the way me and my family lost him to the streets.…

Montréal For The Win
Hi Loves!!! It’s been a while. I know! Please accept my apologies! Well I, unlike most people, flew up North for Memorial Day weekend! I went with my sister and cousin and it was the best girls trip I have been on in quite a while. If you want to avoid all the long lines and crowds at the airport during a holiday weekend, fly up North and leave on a Saturday! Getting through the airport was a…

Break Time
Hey Wanders!! I wandered my way all the way to Jamaica last weekend and I am so happy I did. I had a blast! I came back feeling refreshed and with a burst of creative energy. My friend invited me last minute to accompany her to Jamaica for carnival weekend in Kingston. This was my first time flying into Kingston in probably close to ten years. Being that my mom is from Jamaica, I used to travel…

Insecure-No HBO
Calling All My Lovelies *Bruno Mars voice* ! This message was on my heart today. Like literally I think the Holy Spirit took over with this one because I would NOT have approved this message! When I was younger I was very insecure about not being able to keep up with the latest fashions. Because let me tell you about my very Jamaican mother that did NOT believe in wasting money on Jordans every…

Hey My Loves!
My most recent trip was to Costa Rica! This had to be one of the most fun trips I have taken in a very long time. It was quite adventurous for me. I love to travel but I am not the adventurous traveler! I am glad I tried new things on this trip because it was everything! I faced a few of my fears out in the jungle!
I flew into Liberia, Costa Rica which is on the country’s Pacific coast. I originally wanted to go to the Caribbean side of the country but the way the flights were set up, I had no choice but to book the cheaper option! However, next time I go back I will be flying into San Jose and exploring the Caribbean side of the country.
Listen! I am just going to get straight to the point: YOU NEED TO GO TO COSTA RICA! The vibes are so laid back. Everyone is happy and carefree. Even if you have a million problems at home, you sure ain’t gonna have them in Costa Rica. It literally pulls you into its peace!
EXCURSIONS: I did two excursions during my stay. I did a package that included: zip-lining, horseback riding, rappelling, rock climbing, mud bath, hot springs, and white water rafting! I did not do the rock climbing or rappelling because that is where I drew the line with my adventurous side!
Even though I am scared of heights (well at least I thought I was), I faced my fear and went zip lining through a damn jungle and over a raging river! Who am I? See also* Why did I think zip lining was just zipping across the jungle once and your done? This was SEVEN different courses. Like why? I felt like I got setup!
I started freakin out on two of the courses so I had to ride with one of the instructors!
White Water Rafting
Hot Springs
Scariest bridge ever!
Horseback Riding
The other package I did was a Sunset Cruise from Playa Flamingo that included: food, open bar, snorkeling, and some other stuff that you can do out at sea in the middle of no where. It’s so cliche and typical but it’s a great way to just relax, reflect, and feel like you are ballin’ (depending on the size of the boat you are on). I have been on sunset cruises way more turnt than this one but the vibe on the boat depends on the crowd. I had a great time doing this cruise because I met some really awesome (not so turns up) people. I also realized that you do not need to know how to swim in order to snorkel! However, that did not stop me from getting out the water ten minutes after I got in though!
WHERE I STAYED: I stayed at the Hotel Cantarana in Playa Grande. I LOVED this hotel. It’s a cute boutique hotel with excellent TripAdvisor ratings. The rooms are spacious and clean. They have happy hour everyday (very important). The staff was very nice and friendly because Pura Vida, duh! They also setup all my excursions. The most important thing is that it’s on the beach! A dope, secluded beach at that. I highly recommend this hotel.
Note: This hotel is far (over an hour) from the airport so the airport transportation is pricey. However, you can opt to rent a car if you want. I am still not comfortable driving cars in other countries, but if you do rent one you can see so much more of the country.
HOW LONG YOU SHOULD STAY: I really played myself with my length of stay (3 nights). It is impossible to do everything you want to do in that amount of time. I recommend at least a week, minimum. There are so many waterfalls, natural reserves, and volcanoes on the island. You can also do a day trip to Nicaragua from the side of the island I stayed on. So whatever you do, do not play yourself like I did!
I was literally in HEAVEN!
That’s all for now folks. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
Ciao,
Bella

Storms Always Pass
Being Still Cried my eyes out around 11:30AM…. I am feeling very unbalanced. I hate when things are not stable. I hate that I don’t have patience. I can’t wait til this storm is over. I can’t wait til I’m out the fire. I wish I had more faith. I pray for the strength to hold on. I pray for everyone around me but who’s praying for me? I pray that everything works according to His divine plan. I…

Layover In Lisbon
Hi Party People !! I am fresh off my birthday trip to Lisbon and Amsterdam. First off, I just have to say that I regret not visiting the cities in reverse order! I definitely did not spend enough time in Lisbon. I fell in love with the city in the short amount of time I was there. I really only booked this trip because I caught a deal back in February with TAP Portugal airlines. The ticket was…

Your Message is Not For Everyone
Your Message is Not For Everyone
Hey All! I am just popping in to share something with you that struck a chord with me the other day. Last week I was watching “Flyingwithpurpose” aka Jae on snapchat and she said something that hit me so hard that I had to message her about it. She said that “we shouldn’t get upset when friends/loved ones do not support us because maybe our message is not for them”. Not only did that statement…
