30 Things You Don't Know About Me (Part 3)

You can read Part 1 here and Part 2 here.

1. I don't eat ice cream in the winter. My husband thinks its strange but if its cold outside I'm not eating ice cream.
2. I've been using eye cream since I turned 18. I'm not taking any chances, even if "Black doesn't crack."

My 'Terrible' Teens

Me, MsNastassja, our parents and our dad's high top hair cut (Miami)

In a recent post, I shared about the first decade of my life growing up in Jamaica. Now I’ll share about my t’ween and teen years.

It's My Birthday!

Me at my birthday party

I'm so excited that today is my birthday. I have plenty to be thankful for and look forward to during this next chapter in my life. My hubby has a weekend of surprises planned for me and I will tweet about them as they happen.

This has been a very busy month with my book, so I haven't been posting as much (Sorry). I didn't forget about my promise to share more about my life. I will post a few times today, so I can finish up during my birthday month.

Happy Birthday to my fellow May babies and Geminis!

30 Things You Don't Know About Me (Part 2)

At my friend's surprise birthday party, a few weeks ago.

1. I'm a procrastinator. I try to convince myself that I work best under pressure (which is true), but the fact is it's usually self-induced pressure. 
2. My favorite color is green. I used to resist the fact that green was my favorite color because I always felt pressured to like pink. My birthstone is emerald and I remember not liking any emerald jewelry my parents gave me growing up. But now I've embraced it. 

My Hair Today

Me and hubby

...well technically yesterday.  My brother-in-law graduated from college yesterday (Woohoo!) and this is how I wore my hair. It's been two weeks since my relaxer and I have yet to wash my hair. I plan to wash it today after my riding lesson.

My outfit/packing chart

1. My favorite drink is grapefruit juice. We always have at least 6 cartons in the fridge and my husband is on a mission to find another human being who likes (let alone loves) it as much as I do. I drink grapefruit juice with everything - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 
2. I make charts for my outfits when I travel. I hate to overpack (or worse under-pack) so I use a chart to help me pack and plan my outfits for the entire trip. The photo above is from my trip to Jamaica in March.

My Life in Jamaica

Me as a toddler. I still have that stuffed dog toy.

In my last post, I shared that my 30th birthday is this month and I planned to celebrate by sharing more about myself with you. Well I figured the best way to do that would be in a three part series, with each series covering each decade of my life. So this first series will cover my life growing up in Jamaica.

30 in 30 Days!

Blowing out my candles at my 7th birthday party

My birthday is in 30 days and I'll be turning the big 3-0. I'm not sure exactly how I feel about it yet LOL. I don't feel 'older' per se; I still feel like myself. [I just realized that the outfits we wore 23 years ago is now back in vogue (i.e. stripes and polka dots)].
