Where good ideas, tips and tricks come to live.
More than ever I’ve found myself needing easy ways to relieve stress. At the turn of 2019 I’ve been met with incredible opportunities for growth and a greater deal of responsibility. All of which I’ve welcomed with open arms. Unfortunately, however, for me that means an influx of pressure and stress I had no prior experience dealing with. Suddenly, the hours in the day never seem enough and there’s always …
2018 was a tumultuous year for me. I learnt a lot being 24. There were some ups and some downs. Looking back, I had way more ups than downs and I’m grateful. All the challenges, failures and triumphs taught me something. I started this post last year with the plan to write a post a day in honour of a lesson I learnt as a 24-year-old in 2018. I hung …
The New Year is upon us and I’m not one to do resolutions but a new year is a new day to do things right and change our lives. Here are 10 things we’re not doing in 2019.
It’s still the season for shopping and shopping thrift stores can be hard in Jamaica. Searching for local thrift stores can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. While there are countless clothing retail stores online or traditional storefronts it’s not the same for thrift stores. This year however I found a few stores that I’d love to share with you. In usual Sunny Side style, I’ll take …
Disappointment is God’s guidance. I write this one with a heavy heart. I had big plans to ring in my 25 year. After settling on plans months ago it had all fallen apart in a few days. Initially I responded well, I understood that it wasn’t meant to be but the emotions came through. I couldn’t hide how disappointed and distraught I felt about a milestone I wanted to celebrate …
Friendships aren’t always forever and that’s ok. I think a lot of us can identify with this. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ll see a friendship related post on my social media. As we evolve as people sometimes our circle changes and that’s normal. Grow, learn and spread your wings! Friends come and go but it’s important that you maintain respect for the other persons and yourself.
Procrastination doesn’t win, perseverance does. I’ve always known this to be true but procrastination was the blanket I clung to when the possibility of failure existed. If I tried to achieve something and it didn’t work out my excuse could then be: “I didn’t even try that hard”. This year I decided I would no longer teeter at the edge of my potential but I’d make the plunge and commit …
I could slap myself, I really could. I wish I consulted Google for the things I’m about to tell you. I didn’t so here I am trying to save you from making the mistake I made. If you’re a new car owner or thinking about buying a used car or even a new one there are a few things you’ll want to check out before you negotiate price and hand …
Patience is key. If you know me I’m not always the most patient person in the world but in recent years my that’s been my biggest test. Waiting for the right job, waiting for the right car, waiting for my savings to be enough to buy said car, there were plenty of times when all I could do was wait and it was hard. There were times I felt I …
Invest your time and energy wisely. There’s nothing worse than wasted time. In primary school we learnt a gem (as we called them) we used to repeat daily. I can’t quite remember the words but the essence was that wasted time can never be regained. A lesson I think we all should learn. Don’t get me wrong though, I’m a devoted advocate for a balanced life filled with equal rest …
