Like every other year 2013, was filled with ups and downs, highs and lows. Yet, I can say this was one of my best years so far. I am so very thankful/ grateful to God for all of my blessings and all he has done for me in my life/ all he continues to do for myself as well as my family. God is truly amazing! So here are my highlights of 2013. *Going to Puerto Rico *Celebrating my one year anniversary at work *Getting my car *Going to Longwood Gardens for the first time *Meeting my boyfriend Daniel * Going to the Camden aquarium for the first time * Getting my own apartment * Meeting my baby cousin Levi *Reconnecting with my best friend, Sara *My 25th Birthday *Going to the Bahamas *Going on a cruise for the first time *Cutting my hair

THROWBACK TUESDAY: "CHEERS (I DRINK TO THAT)"- RIHANNA

This is definitely one of my favorite songs ( I know I say that a lot). That's because, I'm a music junkie lol. But anyway, this song just suits this day, because at midnight we will be cheering to the new year. Whether we're ready for it or not 2014 is coming and I don't know about u, but I'm ready!!! And this weekend I'll be cheering to the freaking weekend, because my birthday is on Saturday!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

This week's quote of the week is very special because it is my last quote for the year 2013. The new year is vastly approaching and I'm very excited to see what 2014 has in store. "Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right."- Unknown

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK: CHRISTMAS

Christmas is a very special day, not only is it the birth of Jesus Christ, it's also my favorite holiday. For me, Christmas is a day of meaning and traditions. F amily is very important and to me the holidays symbolize spending time with family,  i t doesn't matter where, just as long as we are all together. Since my family and I are from Trinidad, it's especially harder because we hardly get to see the whole family, however we  include our culture/ family traditions  in our holiday festivities. What are some of your family traditions? Such as baking a ham, making sorrel, making black cake and making ponche de creme( the Trinidadian spin on eggnog).  Hope you all have a Merry Christmas! Be safe.  Ponche de creme Black cake/ Rum cake Sorrel. The leaves are picked off the tree, then it is boiled and cooled, before the final product is made. Baked Ham with Pineapple slices. I do not own any of these pictures. They were only used

THROWBACK TUESDAY: "FELIZ NAVIDAD-" CELINE DION

MY FAVORITE HOLIDAY SONGS

Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday. It's always been my favorite time of year since I was a little girl living in the Caribbean. It's especially hard to keep certain family holiday traditions alive, since we live in the states and the majority of my family still lives in Trinidad. Music is and always has been the one thing that always remind me of my childhood in Trinidad. So here is a list of my favorite holiday songs in no particular order. (I do not own the picture above, I thought it was cute). 1. Trini Christmas- Susan Macio 2. Soca Santa- Machel Montano 3. Rocking around the Christmas tree- Brenda Lee version 4. Bring out the ham- Marcia Mirando 5. Nikita- Scrunter 6. Mamacita- Sharlene Boodram 7. Anita- Scrunter 8. All I want for Christmas- Mariah Carey 9. It's Christmas- Baron 10. Yvonne- Crazy 11. Deck the halls 12. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays- Nsync 13. Feliz N

THOUGHT OF THE WEEK: "In order of importance, how would you rank; fame,happiness, money, love and health? Explain!"

1. In order of importance, I rank happiness first, because no matter what I always want to be happy.  2. Health is second for me because aside from my happiness, I need to be healthy. 3. Third is love. Love is a great thing, especially when you have someone u love and they love u back. Having someone there for you through thick and thin and vice versa.  4. Money is forth for me. I know I chose love over money. That's just me, I know love can't pay the bills. But, it's better to have love nd to have someone to share the money with. Than to not have love nd have no one to share anything with. 5. Last but not least is fame. I don't need fame. Once I have my happiness, health, love and money. I'll be just fine. So tell me in order of importance, how important are these things to u?

THROWBACK TUESDAY: "MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS"- NSYNC
