Beauty Bomb // March Birchbox
Hot on the heels of my February Birchbox (which, to be fair, was quite late), was…you guessed it, my March Birchbox (so yes…I’m posting this late). Now I’d ruined the surprise for myself and snuck a peek at the products I was getting for March – slightly underwhelming, but that’s the nature of this subscription…

Metro Magazine // Marlon James Brings His Creativity to T&T
Some of you may or may not know that I write for Metro Magazine (distributed every Friday in the Guardian). I’ve long meant to syndicate my Metro content to this blog, since I usually cover a lot of local fashion, food and lifestyle stories for the Metro as well. I’m finally starting to do so…

Beauty Bomb // February Birchbox
I was inspired to look into the beauty subscription service – Birchbox – after watching unboxing videos by one of the YT girls I subscribe to LeighAnnSays. I love samples, and I also love travel-sized anything, so it made perfect sense to me to pay a fixed amount every month to get a grab bag/box…

Mini Haul // We Dream In Colour & Sanianitos
Moar shoppeeeeeng! Since I can remember, jewellery line We Dream In Colour has been on my radar. Trinidadian-raised designer, Jade Gedeon, does lovely, delicate jewellery. She’s sold her jewellery all over the world, including in Urban Outfitter locations. Taken from the We Dream In Colour Website: We Dream in Colour is a collection of hand…

Lush Kingdom
I was first introduced to James Hackett through my boyfriend – a fan of his artwork. So when I heard that James Hackett was entering the ‘world’ of fashion I was intrigued, to say the least. I knew him primarily as a digital artist, so I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I, of course,…

New Year New Phone
Got my iPhone 5S for Christmas 🙂 Golllllld of course, because everyone loves gold. My old 4S has been chugging along for two years now and while it still functions at about 70% efficiency, the battery is shot…and it’s not running as smoothly as I would like, so it was high time for some change.…

Reflections on 2013 and Looking Forward to 2014
Hey guys, Just back from NYC and trying to hammer out a Ole Years/New Years post on the blog before midnight…because my lack of posting would be twice as bad if I don’t round off the year with some notes on 2013. It was an absolutely fantastic year. Full of ups and downs, as with…

Out & About // All Italian
So….about this Carnival diet I’m supposed to be on. Actually…more than a Carnival diet, this whole healthy eating thing that I claimed to have adopted asa lifestyle choice a few months ago. Where is it Ceola? It’s gone. Gone…because I keep getting invited to the most amazing foodie events, like last night’s trip to All…

Mini Haul, Because It’s Christmas // Chejo & Lotus Wares
Maybe I’m using the Christmas thing a bit too much now. There’s only so many ‘presents’ you could actually buy for yourself before the excuse starts to morph into something more along the lines of ‘I’ve started and now I can’t stop’. I’m a runaway train. Clearly. This isn’t all of the items I’ve acquired…
