Top Ten Songs of 2019 List: Carnival Edition

Are you tired of waiting as yet? Or is all the excitement and suspense leading up to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH intoxicating? I prefer the latter! I could just hear the speakers blaring in my ears with all the sweet sounds of soca right now. It's one thing in a fete, but it's definitely something else on the road! So who's ready????!!!

I am no pan arranger or musical genius, but as a reformed non-fan (of soca music) here's my top ten soca songs for 2019!

10. Gyal Owner - All I have to say is, it's true.

9. Lost & Found (Preedy) - This song is real jones yes but i'm so glad that there are so many younger artistes releasing music this year!

3. Famalay (Machel Montano, Skinny Fabulous & Bunji Garlin) - Seeing Machel, Bunji and Skinny Fabulous jumping up together literally for the first time for 2019 in Out in South was EPIC! The unity in this song was beyond supernatural.

2. Run Wid It (Mr. Killa) - True jab! And although there are laws preventing you from picking up something, and I mean anything, this song is crazy!

1. Savannah Grass (Kees The Band) - I don't care what anybody says, this song was a work of art. Every single thing was on point for this song. Lyrical content, vocals, the beat, the everything. Vibes so magical ♥

Special mention to Trinidad Ghost who have these young people going mad with Zesser! Lol.

Dear Wanderlust, The Series Continues

" Travel makes you modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world, " - Gustav Flaubert. Dear Wanderlust, The series continues....... Meet Kelsey and her beautiful daughter! Last time your eyes were glued to this blog, you read about a daring, young woman who gave her life wings and travelled all the way to Spain from a tiny speck on the world map, known as Trinidad. Now moving there on your own is a whole experience in itself, but what if you moved with your immediate family too? Would that make you feel less homesick with them there? Let's find out in this interview with Kelsey, who moved to Vietnam - from Trinidad - with her family. Yes, you read that correctly. V I E T N A M. 1. Location: Q. Where are you from originally and where did you move to? A. I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Trinidad and Tobago. As far as places to be born, T&T is as good as it gets. However, for a year now, my family and I have

Tutorial: DIY Emoji Piñata

I made a piñata for a family event and decided I should share the process with you guys! So here's a quick guide on how to make a piñata for yourself! Now I am by no means a professional DIYer, but at least I can say that I tried! You'll need: A pair of scissors Tape/ Glue Cardboard or any type of sturdy material for the piñata itself Treats/Goodies Tissue/Kite/Crepe Paper (any paper of your choice) Step 1: Prep Cut the cardboard into two circles and some strips for the sides.

Just Snap Out Of It

"What's on your mind?" That's the infamous Facebook prompter for users to update their status. But, what's really on your mind? Would Facebook - and all who follow you - really like to know what's on your mind? If you haven't guessed it already, this post is about mental health. I know, it's early in a New Year and this is a heavy topic but it must be talked about. My little random blog is probably not going to make such a drastic change in the world but i'll be sure to discuss real issues and somehow influence you guys in some way to feel comfortable enough to share your thoughts with someone. It's healthy - contrary to the way we were raised, right? In some way, speaking about how you felt was taboo. I remember my first panic attack. I was seventeen and in a classroom on my laptop. We didn't have a scheduled class at that time, so I think I was playing a game. All my classmates were in their worlds doing whatever and I just
