Welcome to my first blog post of the year! It’s been a few months. Okay y’all so I finally got the courage to post my first Get Ready With Me or GRWM! After years of filming videos like these and never posting them I am proud of myself. I would always record and delete the video. I always thought I was applying something wrong or someone would comment and say “You need to do this or that”. Then I realized that I’m not a makeup artist,everyone has their own method, and that’s okay. There is no right or wrong way. I had a lot of fun filming this. Feel free to go and show ya girl some love and support. Until next time!

My fiance stopped by the store earlier to purchase some popcorn and after learning that it was black owned, I saw it as the perfect opportunity to put the word out. So I went to the store and spoke with Natalie and she was more than happy to let me get some footage.

Secrets St. James Master Suite Review (Pics included)
I had an amazing trip!! It was just perfect! My birthday was amazing and this by far was the best trip there out of all the times I have been there!
Check in:
Okay I will start off with check in. We arrived at the airport around 10:30. We got to the resort about 11. We stayed in the Master Suite at the St. James preferred side. Check in took a while. No worries we went to lunch and came back. The room still wasn’t ready. We were informed that we got there a bit early so we sat in the preferred lounge. Davion our butler,( yes butler! ) introduced himself to us and took us up to our room. WOW!
The Suite:
The master suite is just amazing! It comes with a living room,bedroom, and separate bath area. The rooms have sliding wooden doors, which are perfect if you don’t want to disturb whoever you are on vacation with. It’s so much more private than the regular suites. We had a really nice view.The balcony has a nice size to it with a Jacuzzi and lounge area. (pics to follow) The sunsets were a little blocked by the palm trees but that’s okay. If you want a clearer view stay in the suite on the 4th floor. We were on the 3rd floor in room 4319. We were there to celebrate our birthdays. The rooms all have steamers now, they no longer have irons. I miss the irons and kinda wish they would bring them back. The shower was sooooo spacious! It was like two of the regular showers put together maybe a little bigger. The closet was in the bathroom right across from the tub. The tub was so nice. The master suite and butler service was just great! I almost felt like a celebrity! lol It was just beautiful! Caulette! Love you! Still need to meet you!! 
The Spa:
On my birthday my fiance treated me to a spa day, so I got a wonderful massage,manicure, and pedicure. They are working on the spa so they are doing massages in rooms. I got my massage in a suite on the 3rd floor. Some people were complaining about this but I enjoyed it. It was just as relaxing. I could hear the hammering from the construction across the street because they are building another resort. It wasn’t very loud in fact I was able to sleep during my massage. Kay did a wonderful job. She did my massage, manicure and pedicure. I think all the services are available in the spa except the hydrotherapy. I enjoyed my services.
Butler Service: The Master Suites and the Presidential suites come with a butler. Our butlers were Davion and Travis. Davion was super nice and polite. Travis helped set up the decorations in our suite for my birthday! So when I got back from my spa day I came back to beautiful decorations and a nice bath. It made my birthday so special! Ugh I wish I could rewind! Anyways! Shout out to Travis and Davion for being amazing butlers! I hope to see you guys again!
Okay so let’s move on to the restaurants. One of our favorites restaurants to eat at is the World Cafe. One thing that was missing this time was the Reggae music. We were there for 7 days and we didn’t hear it there at all. Not even at night at the Blue Mountain. I don’t know what they were playing but it didn’t feel right. We really missed the music. What happened? Leroy always does an amazing job at taking care of us and making sure I get my ackee and saltfish on the final day. He is great!!
The Preferred Beach: The beach area is nice. The St. James side is closer to the construction but we didn’t mind it. We had some nice days at the beach when the weather was nice. The pool is nice as well. Shout out to Kerry-Ann she made sure I had a nice rum punch to keep me cool.
The entertainment is always great! I love the house band Pace! They even took a few requests from me for songs to sing! This trip was so great I had so much fun and really really enjoyed myself. I also participated in the Talk Jamaican
class taught by Sunshine.
That class also included a Jerk class as well. I do recommend that. Also the ATM was only giving Jamaican dollars while we there. We had to go to the resort next door to get USD. We found that to be very odd. We were told the ATM was out of order. The grounds are always kept nice and clean as there is always someone out working hard. Everyone here works so hard! If I could make all their troubles go away and give them lots of money I would. Anyway that’s it for my review If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask. I will be happy to answer.
PinkBlush Maternity
Hey everyone! I’m here to do my first post for this year. I wanted to do a quick review for Pinkblush Maternity. Pinkblush Maternity is an online boutique. They have items for if you are expecting, postpartum and regular women’s and plus sized clothing. So they contacted me and gave me the option to choose one item from there website. I ended up choosing a nursing dress since I just had my baby 2 weeks ago. I placed my order with them Friday and had my dress by Wednesday. I love the dress because it makes nursing super easy! The dress is also super soft and comfy. I would def recommend shopping with them if you are expecting, just had your baby or would just like to buy yourself something nice. Also be sure to enter my giveaway! Any one can enter you don’t have to be expecting.
Secrets Wild Orchid Preferred Side Review
I have been back from the beautiful island of Jamaica for 2 weeks now. I must say that I had the best time! I stayed for seven days. We arrived in Jamaica around 9:21 am. It was no one in the line for customs at all so I could have saved on the Mobay arrival. I’m not complaining though I love a nice drink while I wait for transportation to the hotel. We got to the hotel and walked over to the Preferred side. Check in was smooth. Our room was not ready and we were told it wouldn’t be for a few hours. No problem we went right over to breakfast and then to the gentleman in the red vest and booked a short trip to the Hipstrip. We took care of shopping and got it out of the way. Shout out to Brian! He drove us to Mystic Mountain and was really nice! Shoutout to Hopeton once again although I only saw him once this time he always remembers me and says hello. Let’s get on to the preferred side. I am sold! Haha. I love it there! Our room 1411 had the best view. I got to see the amazing sunsets. The preferred side also has tubs on the balcony. It also has a private beach and pool which was really nice because you didn’t have to search for somewhere to sit there were plenty available. Did I mention the small lounge with a bar and snacks? YES! The preferred side was nice and quiet during the day a little loud at night because it was closer to the live entertainment. No worries man. I would love to stay there again. The grounds are always kept nice. There is always someone who is out trimming or cutting. I have stayed at St. James, Wild Orchid and now Wild Orchid Preferred. What’s next? LOL Ah I can’t forget about Leroy who served us at breakfast and sometimes lunch. He is the best. Always with a smile on his face. He had a wonderful gift for us the day before we left! Thank you so much Leroy! Also I cannot forget about Caulette! She is soooooo awesome! Thanks again Caulette! My favorite places to eat were the World Cafe which is the buffet, Portifino the Italian, and Blue Mountain with the Jamaican cuisine. The have changed the menus in most of the restaurants. Not sure about Seaside grill and Oceana. Overall I had a wonderful time and hope to return next year. It is my goal. Secrets is the perfect getaway for a girlfriends trip, couples, wedding, mother daughter trip whatever suits you if you are 18+. I am going to miss it. I do have one complaint and that is that I am so spoiled that I don’t care to go anywhere else. I could probably move right in!
