Can you waste time in love?

Can you waste time in love?

I’ve heard and read that even though a relationship has ended, never say it was a waste of time. I can’t say I agree with this 100%.

I feel for women it’s hard to swallow this saying and say ‘okay.’ I never really grew up thinking about having kids, but here I am in my 30’s and single. As every year goes by and the bar for men keeps dropping lower and lower, I can’t help but feel robbed by love.

Dealing with loss...part 1 of ?

Dealing with loss…part 1 of ?

I’ve been wondering for some time now whether I should write on the topic of heartbreak. It’s a sensitive topic for anyone but I realise that it’s inevitable for us ‘lucky’ ones and not everyone gets the support to push through and grow from it.

I’m not a therapist, I’m not that great at giving advice on romantic relationships ( I try to stay away from this rather) but I am a girl who went…

How to deal with weak nails…

My nails keep breaking…my nail polish doesn’t last long. Does this sound like you? If it does I have two words for you CUTICLE OIL!

We moisturise our face every night before bed to prevent dullness and keep our skin hydrated, why not extend this routine to our fingernails? Cuticle Oil should be part of your morning and night time routine. All it takes is a small drop on each finger and some…

How often should you get a pedicure?

How often should you get a pedicure?

Feet…something that gets overlooked too easily because some people believe that no one looks at toes…WRONG!

Also, let’s be honest, how often can you cover up your toes, at some point you must want to wear a pair or sandals or flip flops.

I get asked quite frequently ‘how often should I get a pedicure?’ The answer: it depends. If you know you take it easy, you are low maintenance and you don’t…

Someone wished me a Shitty Day and...

Someone wished me a Shitty Day and…

I never had someone wish me a shitty day before. It’s something you would wish on someone you really don’t have a liking for, I think. Someone who sets out to make every single moment of your life as miserable as possible.

I don’t know that I fall into that category for the person who bestowed upon me such pleasantries, but they thought I was deserving of it.

As I said this was a first for me and…

LIFE as we know it...or don't

LIFE as we know it…or don’t

It’s 2019…July 5th to be exact. The reality… my 12 year relationship with the guy I thought who would have been my forever person ENDED…my 5 figure income job became redundant and they both happened within a couple of months of each other.

I’m currently unemployed and wondering how do I make my next step to earn a salary. Let me set things straight…I could mope around because of the…

Make the right choice...

Make the right choice…

This is by no means a Poem. You can probably refer to it as a short story, a story that is my truth. I remember growing up being the sheltered, quiet girl. Over time I realized that I never really learnt or acquired the ability or knack to be secure in my body, or what I refer to as, my world. I’d rather not say bubble, bubble comes across as weak, which I was and I am not. I understand for some…

What is your Step 1?

I think every time I log in to write a post, I have to reset my password…For shame! Lol Lately I’ve been feeling out of sync…you ever got the feeling that something just isn’t balanced in your life? I was watching “Eat, Pray, Love” the other night and Julia Robert’s character (forgot the name) reached a point in her life where her happiness came from within. She no longer relied on someone else…

Hey Folks It’s been a WHILEEE. Wow. I didn’t realise how much I missed writing until I was in the shower going over all these thoughts and questions in my head. Writing really is medicinal. I have so much I can write about, but to stay on topic I’ll pick the thoughts that have been on my mind most recently. Disparity and FATE. Dictionary.com defines them below: DISPARITY– A lack of similarity or…

Hey Guys and Gals,

Been some time since I’ve posted anything…shame, shame, shame. So a Happy New Year is in order to you!

Carnival prep is in the air, and I can only assume you are either on the fence of panicking to get fit or counting down the days to a mini vacation. I’m opting out of playing mas this year. It is mildly heart-breaking…I would try to comfort myself and state why it is logical…

I know I am not alone… (Part 2 of 2)… It’s all about the ‘DO’

…Once more, I was absorbed into this losing weight world and trying to get back to my healthy, slim self. I left school and moved back home in 2010. I then tried getting back into my old routine and started working out with my trainer and eating the way I used to, before I left for University. I found myself just blowing up, and got so FEDUP and TIREDand decided to go to a dietician. That worked,…

Hey Everyone,

I’ve been deliberating for some time now on whether to get into the personal aspects of my life. Truthfully, I don’t think it’s a fun read…I mean who wants to read about what someone else does? Unless, they are one of those persons who is plagued with drama (humorous drama) every day or you are Will and Kate (*shame face*).

I was speaking to a friend the other day and the question…

Hey Guys and Girls,

It’s been a while since I’ve written a post, I would like to blame it on my Carnival tabanca :-D.

Anyhoo, I’m picking up where I left off (well sorta) and introducing you all to another great jewellery designer.

It was by chance that I met Elize Julia Rostantand I am grateful to add another creative mind to my circle. Elize makes extremely unique statement pieces that catches…

Made in Chi…No wait…How about…T&T!

Let’s be honest, how many of us buy local? And by local I mean the entirety of the product is from Trinidad & Tobago. I’ll put my hand up and admit that I can count on one hand how many items I own that oozes the life and breath of T&T.

I mean, we buy coconut and mango scented candles made in another country…we live on an island with these trees growing in our back yard.
