The importance of self-care | 12th blogiversary

Image
Hello everyone, I'm back!! Finally, summer is almost over; I can't wait for the cooler weather to hit the island. Additionally, I am very much looking forward to  the spooky season .  These past few months have been very challenging for me. For personal reasons, I have been away from social media for quite some time and haven't written a blog post in a while.

It was common practice back then.   Social media was not really a thing . Many people close to me did not understand what I was doing; or why I was doing it. At first, I used my phone to take pictures for the blog.  Back then, cameras phones were nowhere near as good as they are today. I was not yet a vegan. I had not fully embraced my wavey/curly hair. Trivia: The 18th of September, 2010 was a Satur
