I've come to realize, the hard way, that I've had and still have a lot of healing to do! Self Love is not an overnight thing *insert Percy Sledge song*. It takes time to reach a comfortable level of contentment with self. It's a journey; one of upward toil but one of positive growth. In our journey of Self Love, it is integral that we seek to know ourselves, accept who we are and live freely in our truth. In seeking to know and embrace our truest selves, a process of self reflection and introspection helps. The trauma; experiences that we go through have fashioned us into the persons that we are today. Our personalities, our self esteem; the way we interact with others, our imposed standards, our expectations are all influenced by the way we see ourselves; by the way we think and feel about ourselves. It's 'human nature' to first be negative before positive and unappreciative before we see good, so in order to change our thinki...

🌴 Island Girl Adventures | Market Deh' Vlog
Market Deh' (Pronounced "Day") is an initiative made possible in part by Bruce Knaggs, a young enthusiastic agriculturalist on the Island of Tobago. It was born out of the desire Knaggs had to create a platform for selling his local produce and providing the opportunity for other local businesses to do so; hence Market Deh's Motto, "Make, Grow, Tobago."
According to The Market Deh' promotion, it is "a great social event where you can sample and buy some of Tobago's best creations." All Are Invited to "come... eat, drink and take in the good vibes."
The island of Tobago is truly vibrant with creative souls who believe that locals and visitors alike can benefit from homegrown, natural, healthy and authentic products. There are many persons who are passionate about preserving the Islands culture by utilizing its natural resources in sustainable ways; helping to create income and promote healthful living.
Many often over look the small business person and head straight to big-chain-supermarkets and malls for their purchases. Thus, missing out on the gems that Tobago's small businesses have to offer! Tobago is really vibin' with entrepreneurial activity!
I visited Market Deh' on 26th of February and had the opportunity to speak to the organizer along with four vendors who were most kind and welcoming!
I invite you to take a look at my Vlog Video of the day and the conversations I had with the vendors. Do enjoy!
Market Deh' is scheduled to take place the last Sunday of each month at The Shade Night Club, Bon Accord; 10 AM to 3 PM.
It is my wish that Market Deh' grows into an event that attracts and targets more artistic, creative and passionate vendors and buyers.
I was able to meet people and purchase great quality products that I wouldn't have even known existed if it weren't for my curious visit.
I'll surely return and see what and who else Market Deh' has in store for my creative soul!
I really do hope that this blog post helped encourage you to #SupportLocal and to see that there are many ways that you can do so.
Below are the contacts of all who I touched base with at Market Deh' as seen in the video. I invite you to use them to your delight!
Since I have naturally kinky-curly hair, I decided to try two products from the Worlds of Curls brand to see how they'll work for me. I purchased both the Curl Activator and the Curly Pudding. These type of products are known to either define curls or stretch them out but after reading many product reviews, I've come to realize that the outcomes are different from person to person given the different hair types, techniques of use and styling. Let's Start with the Curl Activator! Worlds of Curls Curl Activator This products claims to be 3 steps in one; Curl Activator, Conditioner and Oil Sheen. It advertises that it's for extra dry hair. I've had this product for more than a year. I purchased a 32oz container, deciding that I'd try all the possible ways to use this product. On the back of the container, it says: Worlds of Curls Curl Activator (for extra dry hair) is another key step in Our Total Hair Care Maintenance System. Worlds of Curls Acti...
Pond's Clarant B3: Normal To Oily Skin For many years I have sworn by this face product. I have been using it to moisturize my face during both the day and the night. It does exactly what it promises. The packaging states that it is a "Dark Spot Correcting Moisturizer". It has indeed, cleared up any marks that was left by untimely blackheads. It also states that it "Evens Skin Tone in 2 Weeks and "Reduces the appearance of Dark Spots In 4 Weeks". These statements are also true for me. Some people may be worried that skin bleaching/whitening may occur, this is not likely at all. It is Dermatologist Tested, Hypoallergenic and it Won't Clog Pores. I would recommend that you try a small bottle to determine how much you like it (if it works for you). Here's a pic: I do as the bottle says an apply it to my entire face and neck. I also apply it as a base for any makeup that I may wear. It is lightweight and does not leave my face stic...
We have so much to be thankful for! Yes, "WE". You do, and I do! If you are alive and reading this, God has blessed you in a mighty way. Your being alive is a testimony to His power to protect, provide and keep His promises. It also means that He has given you additional time to live out His purpose in your life. All this is up to you because He has blessed you with the wonderful gift of choice. It's up to you to choose love over hate, to choose positivism over negativity and to choose faith over fear. It's really not an easy road. While we are choosing, we have the enemy to contend with. It's important that we remember that we can't overcome his obstacles alone. God is with us every step of the way, with stretched out hands. Every decision for Him is an acceptance of His hand. The enemy's job is to drive a wedge between us and God and he's had years of studying us, under his belt. To keep the connection between us and God tight, we have to be devot...
