Slowly Coming Back

STRESS!!!!!!!

Hi guys, I have been a very very bad blogger. I have promised not to stay away too long but I seem to stay away for long bouts quite a bit these days. My life seems not to be mine anymore. I do 4 things; work, wedding plan, sleep and just recently workout. I honestly have time for very little else. I was so happy that the week flew by because I promised myself that I would do 2 things Friday night; sleep and write a new post.

I know it's only 7ish but I am already in bed. I am not sure I am handling my new stressful life very well. I usually go to the spa or shop when I want to mellow out, but I have little time (or money for that matter) for that these days.

My question to you guys is: How do you handle stress? What do you do to de-stress?

THINKING ABOUT PROPOSING?

I came across this on Etsy a while ago and immediately thought it would be a great way for a guy who is thinking of popping the question to propose. How surprised would your queen be if she walks into a room (public or private) and sees this decal?

What you guys think?

Hi Guys, I saw this deal and wished I wasn't going back to Trinidad during the time the promotion is valid. Take a look then take a break and enjoy life a little.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and all that JAZZ!!!

Hi folks, I have been gone for so long its shameless. I've been so busy with work, wedding planning, travels and finally getting back into the gym. Needless to say my life is a complete mess right now. I don't seem to have time to do anything right. I have been ordering in, sending laundry out and getting very little sleep due to my current CRAZY schedule.

There is no way to catch you all up on the current happenings of my life without making this a very long post, so here is a brief recap.

Christmas

I spent the Christmas in Trinidad (of course, it seems as though I live there these days). I a lots drank none and had a wonderful time. The day after Christmas my brother sent me pics of the aftermath of the blizzard in NYC and I sent him back the picture below. It was what my mother, sister and I were looking at when I got his text.

New Years

For new years Andy (my fiance) and I headed over to Tobago for some R and R. It's the beautiful yet small sister island to Trinidad. I don't think I have slept that much in quite sometime. On New Year's eve we got to have one of our 3 engagement shoots. Here is a taste of the beautiful pics we got.

Hitting the ground running......

I got back on the 2nd of January and I have not stopped since. It has been work, home, wedding and very little time to myself. I am exhausted but looking forward to the future.

I hope the new year brings you all everything you need. Until tomorrow stay warm and safe.

BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE

It's so cold out that this song is stuck in my head. Do enjoy.

Baby It's Cold Outside

Is it me or is this one of the coldest winters ever? Here are a few Etsy finds that can help you stay warm when it's cold out.

Hot Coco

Cute Scarf

Furtastic

All Weather

One of the best things to do when it's this cold out is to stay in with someone you love cuddled up in a warm blanket sipping hot coco and watching a tear jerker.

Stay Warm
