The Williamsville Secondary School's Farmer's Market

I don't know what it is about these pop-up shops or markets, but I am so in love with them. A couple of months ago, I tagged along with one of my friends who was a vendor at the Green Market in Santa Cruz. Major shout out to www.instagram.com/paige__tt you're basically the reason I love these markets.

There's just this buzz of activity and a lot going on simultaneously. But it's not overwhelming - it's intoxicating. The music, the food, the people, the atmosphere - everything is just a vibe, to be honest. It's a great event for vendors and consumers alike to network and great for building brand awareness especially if you have a small business.

The Williamsville Secondary School held their first Farmer's Market and it was such an awesome event and very special as well as it was my mum's first time as a vendor!

Here are a couple of the vendors that I met:

Seasonal Dishes - this vendor sold flavoured pepper sauces, kuchela, kurma and juices. Find out more about them here: www.instagram.com/seasonaldishes

Here are Chef Jamz and Chef Kamz from Seasonal Dishes with their products!

Here is Miriam of Miriam's Floral Arrangements and all her lovely items!

Miriam's Floral Arrangements - this vendor sold some crafty floral arrangements that were a sight to behold.

NMR Events With Us was present on the day!

NMR Events With Us - this vendor sold some tasty treats such as Easter-themed cookies, cupcakes, banana bread, sweet bread and lots more. Check them out here: www.instagram.com/nmreventswithus

Betty Bakes - this vendor sold some scrumptious currants and coconut rolls, kurma, sweet bread, coconut and wholewheat breads and bakes. Find them here:www.instagram.com/betty_bakestt

There were a number of other vendors present and the Williamsville Secondary School's local school board sold corn soup, pelau and drinks to raise funds for the school.

Date Night: Staying In Vs. Going Out

This is a short one! Don't forget Valentines Day is soon! I hope you have a great one filled with lots of sweet things. Such a day was created to tempt persons like me to steer away from our diet but i'm stronger than that. You will not defeat me this year sugar! It's quite possible couples may have a date night to celebrate Valentines Day and the restaurants will be filled. If you're into waiting for a table and you like going out much, then do you boo. But I prefer staying in. Basic, but whatever. I just like the whole idea of ordering the same food from your favourite restaurant (that you would buy if you go out) and having it in the comfort of your own home. Put the food on some nice plates, light some candles, throw some rose petals on the table, play some romantic music and have a nice dinner. You see it in the movies all the time and I know it seems corny and cheesy but have you ever had cheesy popcorn? It's a great combo! Ha! I really have t...

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...

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 ...
