Protecting one’s peace means preserving your physical, mental and emotional health. Protecting your peace is and should be a priority. As I continue on my Self Care Journey, I’ve learnt to choose my peace in several situations because choosing peace is choosing me. Protecting one’s peace is necessary for a healthy self-care regime as well…

New Year’s Eve is my absolute favourite time of the year!!!! I’m already wearing my Happy New Year tiara and cuddled up on my couch with a glass of my favourite wine and reflecting on the year that I’ve had. I’ve learnt many lessons this year and I thought I’d share a few with you.…

At the beginning of 2022 I decided to actively and purposefully embark on a Self Care Journey. I’ve always been big on Self Love and Self Care but for this year I decided that I would create monthly self care plans. January was pretty hectic for me , so I decided to start in February…

When was the last time you ran in the rain ? I don’t mean ran out of the rain. I mean the last time you really let go and let down your hair and just took in the moment. You’re probably thinking back to your childhood aren’t you ? And honestly I would have been…

“Not everyday is a good day , show up anyway. Not everyone tells the truth , trust anyway. Not everyone will love you back , love anyway. Not every game will be fair , play anyway.” About two years ago, I strategically placed a poster with these words by my bed. It’s usually the first…

Jaime Lyn Beatty said “ Jobs fill your pockets , but adventures fill your soul.” Recently hiking has been filling my soul. I fell in love with hiking about a year ago when I was invited to a birthday hike and I’ve been in love with hiking since. When I started , hiking it was…

I wanted to blog yesterday , I tried for hours to find something I was passionate about or actually wanted to speak about and kept coming up empty , so eventually I gave up. It’s 4 am and I’m lying in bed staring at the ceiling where I can see the outline of my vision…

At the end of each year I take some time to reflect on the year that has passed. The ups , the downs , the highs and the lows and I carefully assess the goals I did and did not achieve. This process is crucial as it gives me the clear perspective that is necessary…

Morning loves , It’s your local , not so fatty anymore! Your girl has not regained the weight she’s lost thus far. So cheers to that ! A little over a month ago, I got lazy and had taken a month off from working out, I had completed a bootcamp at the end of October…

This morning I woke up feeling down , I sat on my bed for a couple minutes trying to find the energy to get my butt up and get ready for work. I eventually ended up crawling back into bed and scrolling through some old photos, I eventually came across my photos from January 1st…

I’m 28 today y’all and this year I think I’ll share a little bit more about myself. So without further ado , here it is. 1. I am a Seventh- day Adventist Christian and I take my religion very seriously. 2. Family means the world to me. When I say “Family First” it is no…

If I had to write a letter to myself in 5 to 10 years I’m not exactly sure what it would say but they are a few key points that I’d definitely make to her. Dear Future self 1. Always put God first. If for whatever reason you haven’t been to church or prayed for…

Those who would’ve read my blog on how I became Pescatarian would recall that I tried to become vegan early last year but failed miserably because I was ill prepared. But this year , July 1st , I took the dive again and so far I’ve been swimming pretty well. I’ve always wanted to become…

Those who have been following my weight loss journey know that it’s been a long 2 years. It’s been 2 years of my weight fluctuating after I put on those 30extra pounds during law school. About 2 years ago I decided I was focusing too much on weightloss and needed to focus on a healthier…

If you live on Planet Earth , I’m sure you are aware that the hot topic for the last couple of months has been COVID-19. Most if not all countries have urged persons to stay indoors for their own safety. Introverts all over the world are shouting for joy and living their best lives indoors…

Good morning loves , This morning, like most mornings I woke to my alarm going off at 5:30 am. I reluctantly put it on snooze allowing myself 5 more minutes as I glare through my window to total darkness. How is it morning already I think to myself. Eventually around 5:40. I’ll emerge from the…

Good Morning loves , This topic came to me while scrolling through my Instagram stories and seeing the familiar rants of one verbal follower who always has “frog issues”. And then it hit me like a toothache you are never really prepared for. This could be my next blog topic… Ladies , Ladies ! It’s…

Good morning loves , We’ve made it to a new year , a new decade, a new age ! This is the year for Self Love ! Persons will argue that Self Love is selfish and it is selfish to put everyone and everything after yourself. However , unless you love yourself first you will…

2020 is here finally ! I began 2020 the same way I began 2019 hopeful and fighting sleep, cause y’all know I be knocked out by 9 pm most nights. I know it’s usual for persons to make New Year resolutions because at the end of and old year the atmosphere is reflective and positive,…

I’ve been on my fitness journey for a couple months now, and I must say that I am seeing results slowly but surely. AI get tempted ALOT , usually after stressful days and work. I mean who can argue that dulce de leche on a waffle cone can’t fix any bad day . But so…

Last night concluded an extremely stressful work week. I was feeling extremely ‘out of it’ but I still managed to drag myself to my 6:30 spin class and somehow made it through. I rushed home and when I got there I gathered all the energy I could muster and drew a warm bubble bath ,…

Who doesn’t love pineapples? This delicacy has been my favourite fruit since I could feed myself. I love pineapples in all forms :raw fruit, juice but especially in smoothies. I usually start my mornings with a strawberry pineapple or strawberry,banana and pineapple homemade smoothie which always guarantees I have a great day. About a month…

I’ve restarted the gym for the third time this year and today totals one week I’ve been back, Yea me! I should be at a spin class this very moment but instead I’m sitting on my bed sipping juice from a wine class and watching lifetime. And that’s okay. Before I would beat myself up…

Short answer ? Everything that tastes amazing is bad for you and aids in weight gain. I am clearly no weight loss expert as I have been struggling with my weight for over 2 years. One minute I’ll stick to a diet and lose all the weight and then I’ll put all the damn weight…

I’m sure most of you like me are patiently waiting for April 14th. I’m so invested. I’m on my fifth watch of the entire series so I’m right on time with the Final Season. After all “Winter Is Here”! Other than that I’m binge watching several other shows that I’ve fallen behind on. My television…

Almost 2 years ago I came to the stark realisation that I was not going to have my life together by 25. I had recently graduated from law school and after numerous rejections was feeling pretty depressed. I was single and broke with no prospects in sight. My twenty-fifth year was approaching fast and the…

Today I want to talk to you about the growing trend of Nomophobia which literally means “no-mobile-phone-phobia“. It is defined as the irrational fear of being unable to use your phone for some reason, such as the absence of a signal or running out of minutes or battery power. The Video by Gary Turk entitled…

With Valentines Day just around the corner I wanted to take this time out to remind you guys of the importance of Self Love. Receiving love from a partner or a family member is great but that fades in comparison to the love we should feel for ourselves. I am a true believer that no…

Hi Guys ! Today I want to talk about a topic which is very dear to my heart. I am sure there are persons who can relate and others who may experience this in the future so this may help you prepare. I hope. University was great. Law school was not as great but life…

What makes you happy ? I did a little research, i.e I googled the top things that make most people happy. Most studies on happiness confirm that family and relationships are the surest way to happiness. Following that was meaningful work and positive thinking. Some find happiness in money and material possessions like their luxury…

Those of you who followed my other blog know that this was my most popular post for 2017. Though I’m no longer single, I still believe I am very qualified to speak on this topic.
