  • Tillie’s travel diaries – Nonstop from NYC to SXM

    It was my first time in the Caribbean and I never wanted to leave. It’s Thursday morning, a little before 6AM, and I’m gazing at the insane lines Anne has convinced me will take seconds to get through with the easy pass purchase from JetBlue. I’m slightly hesitant because I want to save all my…

  • Why I made the switch to Alcon DAILIES TOTAL1

    All my contact wearing life, I’ve been pretty ride or die Acuvue. [Actually it started out as Bausch & Lomb then moved over to Acuvue.] Every other brand seemed so sub par in comparison. If you were wearing anything else besides Acuvue, I thought your eye doctor saw you as a easy pawn, and was…

  • and the Blue Apron goes to…

    Let me just begin by saying, not all food subscription boxes were built the same. [Says the woman who’s only tried two so far, but already believes she can beat Nigella Lawson in Master Chef.] So, not everyone will enjoy what I enjoy. Some call my palette bourgie and expensive. I call it refined and…

  • Is Green Chef worth all the hype?

    Since I’ve been doing these do-it-yourself stories, my apathy towards purchasing items from a store or online, has converted to wanting to at least attempt a recreation. But one thing I’ve strayed away from was cooking meals from a recipe as it just seemed too difficult, even with the subscription boxes. It wasn’t until I…

  • Splurge-worthy when turning 30…

    In two weeks, 12 days to be exact, I turn 30. Yeah, I officially become three decades old and will begin to live à la Rihanna’s Pour It Up video – wearing mink coats through shallow waters, throwing Benjamins haphazardly in the air as strippers twerk and swing on poles, calling Jay up to close…

  • I DID IT! Finishing a 21-Day Yoga Shred Challenge

    On Tuesday, July 19th I started a 21-day challenge that I told no one about. The reason for this secrecy was because I have a habit of telling people of my embarkments, and most times not following through. Like, a couple of years ago, I was moving to Portugal. I started learning the language, researching…

  • ADELE’S DISARONNO SMOOTHIE ON ELLEN

    If you don’t like Adele, you can’t be trusted. Plain and simple. HAHAHA. You think I’m joking, but I’m not. She’s funny, speaks her mind, has pipes like no other, and maintains her love for her English life. Now, she’s let Ellen in her ears on a recent episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. A…

  • JOURNAL 2 – TWO WEEKS STRONG AND GOING

    It’s that time of the month again. No… not that time. The other time. The time where I tell you whether or not I’ve fallen off the wagon. And lucky for me, I haven’t. About two weeks ago, I went to see a hypnotherapist. After years of being intrigued by the idea of someone swaying…

  • JOURNAL 1 – KICKSTARTING MY WAY TO A NEW ME

    Every New Year I promise myself to start anew, in some way or another. But this year, I’m going to do it. Seriously. For the last few years of my life, I’ve realized there’s no bigger disappointment than letting yourself down. I’m not sure if it’s due to the fact you wake up and go to sleep…
