Okay, so in all honesty, this type of post sometimes feels like a bit of a cop-out, buuuuut… the stats seem to suggest that you like them! So, in an effort to give you what you want – here’s a little look at what I’ve been up to this month. Lots of nature and food… Read More April Insta Round-Up
This past Sunday a group of us girls hopped on the ferry over to Peter Island to say goodbye to a dear friend. Sadly, goodbyes are all too frequent in the BVI – it’s by and large a transient place since it’s difficult for expats to put down roots. But as sad as it is,… Read More Champagne and Long Walks at Peter Island
Anyone else suddenly get the occasional mid-week 9pm ‘screw the diet – treat yo’self’ feeling? That need for a sweet treat in order to pull yourself out of a hump-day slump? No? …just me then! When I get these moments of weakness I need to make something tasty quickly – and it is imperative that… Read More 3-Minute Boozy Bread Pudding
Years ago, when I first set foot in the BVI, my boyfriend at the time took me straight from the airport to the Dove (like literally straight there – still in my comfy, travel athleisure gear and without so much as 5-minutes to run a brush through my hair). More than a few espresso martinis… Read More The Dove Restaurant: The New Kid in Town
Buying designer handbags on the cheap is usually a fool’s game – I know because I’ve done it. When I was 19 it was the too-good-to-be-true eBay purchases – Gucci handbags and Tiffany necklaces (if I remember rightly…) items that broke, fell apart or tarnished in a distinctly un-designer fashion. When I was 21 it… Read More I Bought A Designer Handbag On Tradesy
This long weekend has seen many a Caribbean BBQ and social occasion (read: lots of daytime drinking). I love a good pot luck lunch and it gave me a chance to break out one of my favourite crowd-pleasing snacks – the Bloody Mary Bomb (edible Bloody Mary skewers – what’s not to love??) Bloody Mary Bombs… Read More Bloody Mary Bombs
We have some absolutely beautiful locations to dine in here in the BVI – but, being a small community, we often find ourselves at the same places with the same menus – so it’s nice when someone decides to shake it up a bit, once in a while! That, my friends, is exactly what happened… Read More Mont Redon Winemakers Dinner
Yesterday was my two year wedding anniversary and I am celebrating this event with some (uncharacteristically) soppy reflections and a quick look back at some of our beautiful wedding pictures. Two years have gone by so fast, but we’ve had a lot of fun. We’re working hard, but we live in paradise. We’re saving for… Read More Anniversary
The BVI is known as Nature’s Little Secrets (we’re proud of this – it’s even on our license plates) – and with good reason – we’re miles from anyone, fairly torturous to get to (usually 2-3 flights and sometimes a ferry or two depending on which island you’re staying on) and oftentimes people have no… Read More The Little Secret in Nature’s Little Secrets
This week the husband and I watched a pretty thought-provoking documentary on Netflix, which I wanted to share with you. Left to my own devices I will happily binge-watch old episodes of Grey’s Anatomy (sorry, not sorry) but he prefers something a little more educational – so it’s off to the documentary section we go!… Read More Minimalism
