Where good ideas, tips and tricks come to live.
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.
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.
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 …
It’s the winter time and even though I live in Jamaica the temperature here does change. Not quite enough for you to have a need to bundle up during the day but at night it can get quite chilly. With the change in temeperature, a person like me with dry skin gets drier and avoiding that is top priority. So to keep my skin soft and supple in the colder, …
It’s December! It feels surreal. I’ve become one of those people who talk about how fast the year went by. I have so much to tell you and reflect on as the year comes to a close and what better way to do that but to blog every day in December. It’s a tall order but I’m challenging myself in these last 31 days to accomplish a few more things …
So you’ve had a long week. Meetings, deadlines and everything else. The two days you have off seemed to be consumed by chores. Adulting is in full swing. But there’s one thing we should always make time for and that’s time to care for our self. Personally, my self care routine consists of a facial featuring a sheet mask or clay mask, quiet Netflix or YouTube session and some yoga …
You guys already know what it is when there’s a poem post. My original post is not quite ready but I won’t leave you high and dry after my promise to you last week, so here’s a poem I penned in 2010. Enjoy. Trying to love If you are so increasingly clandestine How could you ever be truly be mine? Your heart has turned from red to black And …
I’ve been back from my vacation for two days and I already feel drained. I feel the persistent jabs of sleep at my neck. I force it to stay up. I’m at my desk staring at the words on the screen watching as they blur and become clear again. Then I get to thinking, maybe I need some sunlight, maybe I should get up and take a walk, it could …
