English Diary: Day 1
As I’m sure you have already assumed… with all the explicit tabloid coverage of Heathrow Airport… my journey home for x-mas has been a little more than eventful! The trip that was supposed to begin on December 19 was a whirlwind of cancellations that began on the 18th… fortunately for myself, a little angel at British Airways (who’s daughter I’ve been bff’s with since we were 4) made a first-class miracle and now I sit here blogging to you from Yorkshire, England!!!Not only is there a snow issue in ‘The Queen’s country’, but there’s also an oil issue so I sit here, wrapped in Mum’s sweater and a red egyptian cotton blanky from Next, freezing my ass off as the oil is on back delivery for two weeks and Mum says we must be ration-al! *smh*
None-the-less, I wouldn’t ask to be anywhere else… Mum, my step dad (Chris) & my sister’s (Ava & Zoe) are out here and the baby in me can’t resist being with them for the holidays! So, I’ll enjoy updating you on all the things I love (and don’t) about my country and it’s culture… beginning with this…
as discussed with my girl Caitlin, before leaving, the typical food here is less than appealing. Don’t get me wrong, I love a bread-pud, curry gravy and mushy peas, as much as the next girl but there’s something gross about hopping off the plane in to the pub to have breaded and fried skampy, chips, camembert, meat pie and what seems like every other food you can imagine. Needless to say Mum also grabbed fruit, veg, chicken breast, turkey cuts and the rest of ‘my food’ (as she calls it) while at Tescos.Current local time is 18:22 and Mum’s just put tea on the table (chicken, rice & carrots and mash), she and I are headed to Meadowhall tonight (one of my fav shopping cntrs here, I’ll be sure to twit pic for ya) to finish up our last min giffies… as it closes at midnight tonight! Fortunately for me, most of my gifts have been bought so topshop/selfridges/primark here I comeeee!!!

(T.O.) 4 garbage bags…
bye!After reading Yvonne’s post I was prompted to take a closer look at ALL of my favorite products as well as the ones that I use on a regular basis. I have sensitive skin so I’m very careful about what I put on my skin. So I took to my bathroom and lined up all my products. The first ingredients that caught my eye were; METHYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN, ETHYLPARABEN. eeeek!
Needless to say, I wasn’t pleased. So in the garbage bags they went. I admit, I was a little sad to see my favorite products go, but I was quickly overcome with the excitement of discovering new and SAFE products that won’t deteriorate my health with time, stay tuned 🙂 I’m also LOVING how free of product clutter my bathroom is!
If you haven’t already read Yvonne’s post, go read it now. Then I suggest doing a thorough check of all your favorite skincare and beauty products.
peace, love and health

I love H.I..M
H.I.M = Highly Interesting Men.
A few months ago I posted a video with brother Gerry and Jason Clemmons. Loving what they said in the video and fascinated by how in sync these identical twins are… Well guess it was serendipitous for me to get on the L train and see them! Half Black, Half Portuguese… completely awesome! They are actors and models but of course. How to tell them apart.. umm I think when they pose for photos Jason always has his arm over Garry’s shoulder – I dont’ know but I think I am right.
The Man’s Guide To Love #210 from themansguidetolove on Vimeo.
I was so excited and I guess they sensed it cuz Garry said hi to me and Jason had his new Macbook. In their matching Lululemon + Nikes they were just heading back home from the gym and I was heading to my interview at Vice magazine in Brooklyn. God bless Google and Facebook… 🙂 Even though the above video says they are 23 and this article says they are 28, i think they are about 29… Super nice and down to earth.. and not even mad at me cuz I didn’t have gum with me. Hope we actually hang out and become real friends. They I got off the train and saw and Argentino Dogo called Che. Amazing. Can’t ask for a better day.
I bet I could tell them apart… ummm maybe not.
Who: Garry Clemmon and Jason ClemmonWhy: Actor/Models who always dress alike – the one who wakes up first gets to choose the outfitWhat: Double Trouble, Twice is niceWhere: NYCHow: Running into them on the L trainWhat else: TwinTone is their personal training businessDo I really have to explain?*HeyDoYou is for the cute, clever and connected* - Uncategorized
Day 8
Just for the day make your mom extra proud
Say please and thank you pitch-perfect loud
Open all doors, give up your seat
Smile sincerely at those on the street
Manners are like gloves, we often forget
Today, wear them with pride like striped epaulets*HeyDoYou is for the cute, clever and connected*
