Pastel Harmony:Sweet Sweet Jamaica (pt5)

Hello lovelies, 
hope all is well in your neck of the woods! I'm back to continue with my vacation blogging. I felt free and expressive in my favorite country,  Jamaica.  I enjoyed my time spent with my family and I was indeed at peace.  This particular day these photos were taking,  we went to visit my husband's mother. It's very important to learn to cherish every moment spent with your family. After all family is life's riches. 
This pastel blue skirt is channeling my inner bohiemian chic. The plates fall right back into place as it blows.  The crop top trend has ruled the summer and I feel it's staying for the fall as well. This tube top in particular can be wore by it self or under a blazer for a much classy look.

Festival of Food: Sweet, Sweet Jamaica (Pt 4)

Hello lovelies, 
I'm not going to rant as normal! Just wanted to stop by and share with you about my favorite dish while on my vacation . When I was growing up, I was allergic to fresh fish. Whenever I ate it my lips swelled up and itched uncontrollably.  I once couldn't breath just by the smell alone. So now I'm happy to say, I've outgrown the allergy. This is a great thing, because my Jamaican culture includes amazing fish dishes. I was able to indulge this time around! Yes! I mean, mouthwatering fish dishes that makes you want to dance! 
My family and I went out to eat at a restaurant, located in Portmore, St Catherine. The name of the restaurant is Jolly's. We end up ordering enough food to feed us twice! Needless to say we had lunch for the next day. I wasn't complaining... It was very tasty. Fish done three different ways (fried, brown stewed, & steamed) festival, bammi, steam vegetables and potato salad was on the menu, which equaled to a great night out.

Sitting On Top Of The World: Pt 3 of Sweet, Sweet Jamaica

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
Good day my lovelies,
Have you ever had a vision that seems so real. I mean, so real it's all you could think of. Well, I dream of my future daily. It's all I can think of.  I feel like I'm destine for great and I verify this by my inner dissatisfaction of mediocre. I'm a firm believer of " if you settle for less, you get less than what you settle for".  
Success is a different definition to each individual. Success to me may look different from my neighbor down the streets version of success , and that's perfectly fine. The ultimate key is to be happy within yourself and with life overall. 
I'm not going to give up. I will achieve my goals in life to insure a great life for my family and I. A quote I read yesterday, sums it all up for me. "If you saw the size of the blessings coming, you would understand the magnitude of the battle your fighting". I will not give up, I can feel it, I dream it and I will achieve it.... You can too. 
I took these photos on the top of my family's house, in Jamaica. The view up there is breath taking. You can view the hills of Kingston, JA. Perfect view to put your mind at ease. 
One Love,
