    Self- Discipline is Needed When Motivation fails by As Told By Ali

    December 6, 2018 /

    Hey guys!It’s Thursday which means that it’s time for you to get inspired by everyday people. People who are chasing their dreams just like you. Today, we are being joined by Ali from As Told By Ali. I met Ali, through Twitter, and let’s just say her blog immediately inspired me. It was even more inspiring when I realized that we were from the same country -YAY!!-.It feels so good to connect with fellow Caribbean people who blog, even more so Antiguans/Barbudans and Jamaicans #mypeople. So, you know the drill. I’ve completed my backstory and now I’ll turn the platform over to our featured guest. The following was written by…

    7 Innovative Study Tips to Improve your grades: You, Will, Dominate That Exam.

    December 6, 2018 /

    For some people, learning comes naturally. No extra input is needed for them to achieve high grades. But, for others like myself, achieving high grades is a process. One that has many steps. Over the years I have added strategies and modified them but the basis has remained the same. I never considered my self a high achiever but to many people, I come off that way. O Well. My BACKSTORY (Feel free to skip over it) Ever since Preschool, I’ve been at the top of my classes. My big academic achievements started in Highschool where I was awarded Top Student (School Ranking) and Top CSEC Student. This also allowed…

    Serenity- A Poem by a Caribbean Poet Al Flemming.

    November 29, 2018 /

    Serenity – By Al Flemming a Caribbean Poet and Author. Serenity Familiar. The wind commands the attention of not only my body, But my soul, As my very being is lifted gently by the salty surprise that each breath provides. A feeling all too familiar. My eyelids collapse for a mere moment as I feel truly at peace. Alas, This is when she catches me off-guard. Her waves creep up on me softly. Disguised by the spell which the wind has cast. Her touch is gentle. Her waves brush my feet as the sand massages my sole. But she is a shy one. When I turn to greet her, She…

    The Importance of Emotional Needs in a Relationship (Make It Last).

    November 25, 2018 /

    Emotional Needs are some of the most important aspects of any relationship. Everyone has needs which must be met for life to be thought of as worthwhile and even sustained. Relationships are a big part of living. Many times people are single and they say ” I love to be single, I am happy this way.” But are you? Are you really? Chances are, you probably aren’t because we were placed on this earth to love and be loved. Well, that’s my belief anyways. If you are single and you are wondering why your relationships never work then I am here to give you some insights. If you aren’t single…

    Do not leave for tomorrow, what can be done today. Hey Kings and Queens, so its Thursday and usually we have our ‘motivated people’ feature. However, for this week I am interrupting regular programming to bring you a special broadcast *Dramatic Music*. About a week ago, I was nominated for the Blogger Recognition Award. I must say that I was extremely shocked to have received this award, I will tell you why below. I must also say that I am extremely grateful to have received it (my smile is as wide as the ocean kind of grateful). I wanna take this opportunity to congratulate Tia from Tropical Tide on her…

    Let me start by saying that I am extremely grateful that I am able to write yet another blog post. My blog has somehow become my outlet and has been helping me greatly. I say this to say, this week has been extremely hard for me. Some days I hardly had the energy to get out of bed, but I did. I got up, I dressed up and I showed up. This post contains Amazon affiliate links. Please read the disclosure. In the midst, the idea for this blog entry came to me.

    Gratitude will Change Your Life.

    November 11, 2018 /

    We all know gratitude to be an emotion in which we express appreciation for the things we have. When you are showing or expressing gratitude you ignore the ‘i wish I had’ thoughts and thank god for what you do have. But, how many of us practice gratitude on a daily basis? The sad truth is, not many people give thanks for what they have without thinking of what they do not have. This practice has also been enhanced with the social media era which often causes people to be in constant comparison. (I wish I had a house like that. I wish I looked like him/her). I wish, I…

    Antiguan and Barbudan former College Athlete Eleka sits down with Beauty and Wellness Writer Shanice DK. A lot of times, we as humans need to see others excelling in order to get a little push for ourselves. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being inspired by someone and wanting to be successful yourself. For me, I look up to people who I see every day, working hard and achieving their goals. At this point in my life, I am most inspired by my parents, siblings, the majority of my friends, my spouse, other bloggers and a few people on social media. One great friend that I am inspired by is…
