The Top 6 Reasons Why I Loved Jamaica


Earlier this summer, I got a chance to visit Montego Bay, Jamaica for my best friend's destination wedding. It was one of the best trips I've ever taken. Here are the top 6 reasons why I loved Jamaica:

1) The ocean and rich marine life. In addition to the amazing view, there are crabs, fish, coral and sea urchins to be seen. I'm so here for all of God's genius above and underneath the water.

2) The climate- there's something about being in a tropical environment that gives you a freedom you can't quite get everywhere. I was secure in everything I put on. And for me the less, the better. Lol. The sun kissed my skin every day and for that I'm grateful.

3) The plants and agriculture. Almond trees, coconut jelly, mangos and plush green everywhere made it like living in a real life botanical garden.

4) The off the resort experience. From Dunn's River Falls to Scotchies, Fern Gully, the boat party and crowded downtown - it was all lit. I went all over the island and it was the best decision I ever made. Trust me, do not hide on a resort the whole trip!

5) The people - friendly with melanin heavy skin and fabulous accents. I asked every native I saw questions and I was never disappointed by their answers and willingness to share.

6) The men - They made sure to dote on me and tell me I was beautiful several times each day-a girl could def get used to that kind of treatment.

Bonus reason: The food - Just see for yourself!
P.S. I spent half my time on the resort and half in a cute getaway via Air BNB. My host was awesome! Click to check it out!

Celibacy and the Modern Christian Man: Interview Series

Living a celibate lifestyle in today’s society can be a little daunting. I mean, let’s face it, anyone would agree that celibacy is not necessarily the most attractive (pun intended) popular culture move. Everywhere you look, especially if you are looking at the media and entertainment markets, you are likely to run into illustrations that sex can come with or without strings. Most of the time it’s without. And least likely does it come with one set of permanent strings like it does for the Christian who is serious about their moral values.  For a person abstaining in this kind of environment, it can be easy to feel alone. And yes, there is The Wait Book by Devon and Meagan Franklin and Ciara and Russ’s gleaming love story to slightly ease, glamorize and validate the age-old Christian pastime of celibacy for us. Not to mention Pinky Promise and a couple other organizations that seek to remind us that we are not exactly alone in the struggle. However, these stories are too

5 Things I Learned About Business From Getting My Hair Done

Recently, I went from a fabulous brunette to a blonde bombshell. I had been wanting to make the switch for years now so needless to say, I was very excited that the time had come. As many of you know from my Instagram post, the appointment was not exactly the pleasure bucket I was expecting. Here are the 5 things I learned about business from getting my hair done: 1. Time Management Is Key My appointment was at 11am. I didn't leave the shop until 6pm. What should've been maybe a 4 hour process was stretched almost double the time. As a frequent member of the Church of CP Time, I've made my share of late appearances. I will give myself exactly enough time to get places without accounting for any hang ups along the way. This hasn't been the wisest decision because as we all know, hang ups can rear their ugly heads quite frequently. In my case, it's mostly in the form of traffic but anyways, I digress. This is only one example of me not managing my time eff
