*in the tune of Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie"* It's slightly annoying but do you know how many times I (Shakera too) have smiled through someone singing "Shakira Shakira" and acted like this hasn't happened a million times? A few too many. Last week it was all about Carnival and now it's Girls' Day Out. A... Continue Reading →
A.W.O.L.
I've got some explaining to do! It feels like forever since I've written a blog post, did you miss me? Well I'm back! With so much to share. About three and a half weeks ago I decided to start treating my depression with antidepressants. I've battled with taking medication for my depression for some time... Continue Reading →
Suicidal.
I started this post three months ago, just after Aaron Hernandez committed suicide. I decided against posting on the topic but I still kept it in my drafts in the event that I would be strong enough to share this story. A very unconventional post but I'm allowed to write whatever feels right, and it feels... Continue Reading →
16 & Pregnant.
I can still recall every moment leading up to the second that I gave birth to Kiara. I met my daughter's dad when I was in third form and on my way home from school one evening. Little did I know he'd later become my 'high school sweetheart'. I never had a 'serious' boyfriend before... Continue Reading →
Mellow Yellow.
My holiday is almost over! *real tears* I wore my colour for summer today; yellow. I remember, when I was younger, thinking I was too dark to wear certain colours- especially bright colours. I was taught to think this way. But I'm happy to say, I'm no longer brainwashed. Yellow was made for my dark... Continue Reading →
Around the World with Kira: Barbados (Day 1)
*This was originally posted on June 6th and I've just realised it was deleted.* After posting my last post, I realised that I didn't share my flight experience with you guys! As usual, it was horrible. I know I was not overreacting because I saw a woman gasp and put her hand over her mouth... Continue Reading →
Vibes.
After a whole week in Barbados, I finally made it to the beach! Notice I said made it to the beach and not made it into the water for a swim. To be honest, my intention was to go for a dip after my shoot but time got boney (as they say in Barbados- it... Continue Reading →
Bim.
Who would have thought I'd enjoy being in Bim so much?! Distance does make the heart fonder! I'm going to spend the next two and a half weeks with my favourite person- Kiara. I look forward to waking up early to get her ready for school, pressing her uniforms, cooking and cleaning up after her-... Continue Reading →
Around the World with Kira: Mallorca (Day 2)
Honestly, having to write this post after returning to London from my holiday makes me wish I was still there. My trip was definitely way too short. Here's Day 2! Another day of sightseeing, at least that was my intention, but instead of returning to Palma I decided to explore Portals Nous. In my mind,... Continue Reading →
Weekends.
I'm really enjoying this 6 week secondment. The best part? Weekends off! I probably don't utilise them as much as I can and should but I just love being off for them. After that 4-day weekend last week, it's been a little difficult to get through the week though. I just think my body didn't... Continue Reading →
