Inspiration

How amazing is this bed?
Can you just imagine how inspiring your dreams would be if you slept in this organic cotton bed next to the ocean? I think I could spend a day and a night in this bed next to the ocean, aaahhhhhhh!

Mud Mask from the Valley of Desolation.

| Edit Post

Lately I’ve been obsessed with this amazing mud mask that our guide introduced us to on our hike to the Boiling Lake on Dominica. The mud is from the Valley of Desolation, right out of the ground, (I should say right out of the extremely hot as in boiling ground) full of minerals that make my face feel amazing. I was lucky enough to sneak a little home with me. Do you have a mud mask that you love?

Do you groom your eyebrows?

| Edit Post

To pluck or not to pluck you eyebrows?

For the longest time I didn't even think I had eyebrows until my mother pointed out the fact that my eyebrows needed to be groomed (the photo above shows them un-groomed.) My mom brought me to a lady that waxed my brows and made them cute and little, so I attempted to keep them up later by plucking. My mom's mom has drawn her eyebrows in since I've known her.... I keep meaning to ask her if she was once a plucker.

What do you do with your eyebrows?

Dominica Guide: Where to eat?

| Edit Post

Dominica is not known for it’s restaurants and can sometimes be a challenge finding a place to eat when it is off-season. Dominica is known for its abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables which makes for some of the tastiest food I've ever eaten. Dominica is so fertile that the streets are lined with fruit trees, you would never starve in Dominica.

This is what I would recommend based on my vacation on Dominica for food.....

10 Photographs from my Weekend

| Edit Post

How was your weekend?

Eric and I spent the weekend on St John. Saturday night we went to La Plancha del Mar and watched ‘Super Troopers’ and ate dinner, it was a lot of fun. They serve four courses and sequence the food and drinks with the movie; example – Scene 3 (course 3) ‘Drunken Pigs’ is the name of the meal and the drink is a ‘Canadian Tuxedo.’

Sunday we drove out to the south side of St John and walked the Yawzi Trail, hiked out to Drunk Bay to make a couple ‘coral people’ and went for a swim in Salt Bay. The water is so warm right now on St John.

PS Later today I’m posting photos of the food I ate on Dominica!

I heart Sundays!

| Edit Post

I don't know what it is about a Sunday but I feel as though no matter what I have the right to do nothing on a Sunday. What are you doing today? I've started the day with a mask from the boiling lake (photos coming soon) and I'm wondering if it's going to keep raining all day here on St John. Eric and I are thinking about going out to the south side of St John and doing the Ram Head trail. The south side doesn't get that much rain.

Hope everyone has a Funday Sunday!!!

Dominica Guide: Hot Spring Spa

| Edit Post

Hands down my favorite thing to do on Dominica is soak in one of the natural hot spring pools.

When we stayed in Trafalgar we where in walking distance to a handful of different spas in Wotton Waven; Trafalgar Falls – a short hike down to the ‘Father Waterfall’s’ river for a natural soak in the river, Rainforest Shangri-la Resort – has a little hike down to 3 small pools along the side of a river for a private soak (all above photos are of Rainforest Shangri-la's pools), Screw’s – has hand built pools from river rocks each pool has a different temperature with cooling waterfalls, plays great reggae, stays open till 10 pm, serves fresh fruit, and is a popular social hangout for Dominicans (Screw’s is my favorite.) There are a few more hot spring spas in the Wotton Waven area but I didn’t get a chance to go to all of them.
