The extended time I’ve spent in Barbados is now longer that the original three-month stint I had planned. It’s a striking thought, especially because the days are sliding by at a seemingly accelerated pace. It’s certainly not what I expected when I left London in January with plans to be in my fifth country of …
Coronavirus lockdown and its socially-distanced aftermath has been the longest period I’ve gone without a daily full face of makeup for a long time. I love to wear bold eyeshadow and I’ve got a weakness for brightly-coloured eyeshadow palettes. One of my go-to everyday palettes is literally Editorial Brights by Viseart. Living in Barbados it’s …
The government of Barbados has come up with a unique response to the way coronavirus has upended the lives of so many people. With companies in various countries keeping their employees working remotely for the foreseeable future, so many people forced into self employment by redundancy, and the growing population of digital nomads who had …
It was bound to happen, that I would slack so soon on my monthly updates! In my (somewhat lame) defence, I got new freelance work that kept me busy, to the point I was pulling multiple all-nighters in June. And excuse me for the cliché, but where is the time going? I’m now in my …

I can’t believe I’ve had this blog all this time and I haven’t posted anything under the Food category until now! I’m gluten-free and vegan and a total foodie, although uprooting my life and then being on lockdown have me posting less than I planned. I’ve got a gluten-free vegan guide to Barbados on my …
April went quite fast and at the same time lasted about seven weeks. We went from overnight curfew into full lockdown in Barbados, only permitted to leave the house to visit the doctor/pharmacy or petrol station. After a couple of weeks the supermarkets reopened. Two days a week have been allocated for going to the …
I don’t know about you, but I spend enough time on Instagram that the ad algorithm knows exactly how to get me. I own stacks of travel-themed jewellery at this point! I mentioned before how much I love the dreamy dresses in the world of LoveShackFancy, and I’m still very much in that frame of …
I’m really excited to post this. Several months ago I had the idea to write an ebook on investing in the stock market aimed at women. Several of my female friends have expressed an interest in investing, but said they lacked the confidence and knowledge to start. They’re not alone – studies show that only …
