Hiya, hope you’re having a light day or evening. Today’s post is a video that I hope is both relaxing and encouraging for you. When you work from home, tending to the garden also serves as an outdoor activity that can help you be refreshed when you go inside again. It’s a change of scenery […]
Hey, hope your day went (or is still going) well. Today’s post is a 5-minute video of a light day: enjoying a nature walk cooking 2 meals (one Trini and one Bajan) transplanting tomato seedlings singing in the garden P.S: Original songs in the background of the video: Song: “For The Brave” & Instrumental: “Spice […]
Hiya, sharing a sunset slideshow with you, for some visual refreshment. Sometimes, just taking a moment to observe beautiful and relaxing scenery – even in (amateur) photo-form, can inspire a full breath and release of stress. That’s what I hope these pics coming up will do for you… have a light rest of the […]
Plastic is a problem. It’s a lot like gluten – almost everywhere and in a whole lot of things. As I become more aware of just how serious this plastic problem is, and how it affects the earth, step by step I’m making a point to get educated on the topic of sustainability and make […]
One of the things that’s beautiful about Barbados, is how greenery makes up a big part of the scenery, even in commercial areas.

Oddly enough, ‘Bim’ is noted as a water-scarce island though it’s literally surrounded by an ocean of water, and decorated with (hopefully still) fresh-water springs but we’ll leave that to another post. Today, we’re talking seawater at […]
From early in the morning, the sound of their singing floats through the open window and enters the room. It lets me know a new day has come and the sun is out. On rainy days, their songs are few and far between; they’re still there – only more sporadic. In the evening, birdsongs are […]
As I find myself looking forward to the ripening of the sea grapes while scanning nearby trees for signs of fruits transforming from lime green to deep red, I remember the anticipation and excitement of mango season that then makes way for the same sea grapes and right after (though sometimes before), breadfruits. This causes […]
The manchineel (also know as “beach apple,” ‘the manzanilla de la muerte,’ ‘Hippomane mancinella’ or ‘death apple’) is a yellowish-green fruit that is not to be eaten. “The world’s most dangerous apple” exists and thrives in places called ‘paradise’ – another lesson for life. Both the sap from the tree/bark/leaves and the fruit itself are […]
