5 Things About Me

For a long time I was struggling with what I wanted to share on my blog. I knew I wanted to share my life’s journey and encourage others but I didn’t know what else.

So here are 5 things about me.

• I love anime.

I think love is a bit of an understatement because I eat, sleep & breathe Japanese anime. The first anime I watched that had me fall in love was Fushigi Yûgi. In some way, anime shaped the person I am today.

• Musical melts my heart

The first musical that I watched that made me completely fall in love was Rent. After that I started listening to more broadway musicals and was hooked. Defying gravity, popular, the lion king, and of course HAMILTON! Just to name a few. You may have noticed in my post painting Phoenix’s room. My entire pregnancy I watched and listened to the Greatest Showman. It was on repeat so much that my partner now knows the lyrics.

• I love books.

I think anime and books go hand in hand for me. The love I have for them is just out of this world. So much that I think I have a book addiction. I have over 1000 books currently in my library that I’ve read and re-read. Asking me what’s my favorite book is like asking me what’s my favorite anime. I don’t have just ONE favorite. Even my top 5 have a top 5. At the moment, I’m currently re-reading Fruits Basket Manga. It’s one of my absolutely favorite manga and anime.

• I love food/cooking.

If you didn’t know. Now you do. Food is a universal language that can break barriers. Growing up in Jamaica, food is so much more than something to cure hunger. It’s an art. It’s a road map. It’s a love language. I love to cook. Cooking for me is very therapeutic but more than anything I love cooking and creating for others. You can learn so much about someone just by sharing a meal together.

• I am NOT a fashionista.

Don’t laugh. Even though I love fashion and the world of beauty. I am not a fashionista. It takes time and patience to be a fashionista and dedication. I’ve gotten many requests about showcasing my fashion and beauty routine, but honestly I’m very basic when it comes to that department. I have amazing make-up artists that I work with and even a stylist whenever I’m doing a photo shoot. My everyday wear may be yoga pants and a graphic tee. Even though I love getting dressed up, especially when I am going out with friends. I like to be extremely comfortable. The fewer clothes the better for me. I do not wake up and think to do my makeup. I don’t even like doing make-up. I simply do my daily routine of brushing my teeth, washing my face and just go. Unless I have a photo shoot, event or have to record a video. I do not wear makeup. But, with that being said doesn’t mean I won’t share what I’m interested in when it comes to fashion & beauty. Just know I won’t be doing anything make-up, tutorials or fashion. You’ll see more of “I woke up like this” posts.

Nevertheless, I can’t wait to share some of my everyday skin care routines and my somewhat fashion style.
