Around a month ago, my family took our first vacation out of the country to visit my mom’s home country of Jamaica after years of saving up to go. We were hella hyped. Like crazy hyped. Like we pronounced Jamaica as Jam-mick-ah for a month leading up to this trip. Like we pronounced it like…

Remember those New Year’s Resolutions about eating healthy? Don’t laugh. I have a solution! It takes 21 days to make something a habit. I’ve been trying to eat less sugar so why not try and cut it completely out of my diet for 21 days? Now, the only sugar I eat is from fruit. It’s…

Swinter Days

Where I live, our winters are more like summers. Very rarely does one find the need for a jacket or even long sleeves in the winter months, so we have adopted the name “Swinter”. You’ll probably see this name in far too many Instagram captions than you’d like to, but all is fair in the…
