Hi Fri-yay luvs! I haven't been 100% myself lately and learning to take care of me more. I am trying to stay more active as it gives me more mental clarity. Back to strength training and hitting dem weights heavy.

I just recently found out my coach passed away from cancer. I literally had no idea he was ill. I trained with him while on my fitness journey way back when and was going over past routines when I saw the Facebook notification of his passing. Shock took me.

He wasn't thrilled when I went vegan, and my journey kinda stalled because life happened, and I wasn't training as hard. But I always still followed his routines because they work! I'm sure he would still be proud 🤍

I just love how they display them too...all color coordinated 🤭🌱

If you know why it's called red onion, put your answer in the comments. Someone said a man named the onion...that's not the answer 😂. Leave the men alone.

What's a pantry must have?

Mine are green seasoning and pepper sauce. Green Seasoning is a Caribbean staple. Some islands have their own variation, and some islands don't make it at all. I use green seasoning to add as a marinade for mushrooms, add it to soups and stews. And let's not forget our peppa sauce. Whether you like plenty or slight. It can give your dish an added boost of flava

Happy 2025, luvs!

2024 was a struggle for me, where at one point I told my friend I felt like giving up, but of course, she encouraged me not to. Being self-employed is not easy, but I am thankful for all the good and bad experiences and the people who supported me!
