Oak Wine Bar & Cocktail Is Now Open For Lunch

I recently had the opportunity to visit @oakwineandcocktail for the first time to try out their new lunch menu and my experience was incredible. For your own good, if you work anywhere near Oak Wine Bar and Cocktail, grab a plate of their curried goat. Words can’t do the food justice. You can choose to dine in or bring your lunch back to the office.

Road to 30

I just turned 30 years old a couple of days ago and let me just say at first I didn't take it so well. All my life I've been making plans, creating goals & working towards them so that by 30 I would be able to look back and say I've done a good job.   A month prior to my birthday I started to evaluate my life and realized half the things I said I would have done before 30 was not done and as you can imagine, it had me in a funk. I felt like I had been wasting time, time that I would never get back. Can you relate?

ONE BIG BAG AH TINGS + Love Not Likes and More

Social media is such a powerful tool, you know it, I know it.

It's also the platform that introduced me to Love Not Likes, A curated experience for photographers, bloggers and micro-influencers who want to collab. So when I saw that the Love Not Likes Group was about to have their very first Meetup for bloggers and influencers I knew I had to be a part of it. Something about connecting with like-minded people, being able to share experiences and stories, while travelling to one of the most beautiful parishes in Jamaica had me so excited that I sent in my RSVP almost immediately.

How To Create Subliminal Messages In Ads

As David Ogilvy, the “Father of Advertising,” once said, “A good advertisement is one which sells the product without drawing attention to itself.”
