First off thank you all so much for your Q&A's and I shall get to doing up the vlog this week.

Secondly, I apologize that I have been very quiet, and although I try not to post sad news, I figured this may help someone who has the same issue as me.

I don't know how to begin this so I would jump right into it. I can't have a lot of caffeine as it makes my heart go extremely fast and even perks my anxiety at the same time.

I take supplements daily but because of the caffeine I always took UNDER the recommended dosage and never had any bad side effects. Tuesday however I felt I was super woman and decided to take the recommended dosage which ended up with me in the ER on IV drips.

It first started with my heart racing, then me needing to use the washroom.... vomiting started, then diarrhea, my body was in so much shock and I was extremely dehydrated. I was in the shower hoping the water would help until I realized I was trembling, freezing cold. My sister threw on a top and a pants on me and rushed me to the doctor first who said to just take me to the ER. 

Once at the ER and the IV drips were in I started to feel a bit better. I had a Filipino nurse who was really great to me and a Venezuelan cardiologist who kept my spirits high with his jokes. Having never been warded at a hospital before, they made me feel very comfortable. All my tests came back fine, which was a relief and I was able to go home that day. 

The following day I rested and then went back to work later on in the week. Feeling a little stressed that I haven't studied all week, and was super busy with work that got my anxiety on the edge this morning.... but, I am feeling a lot better !!

In conclusion, if you know you shouldn't have something, don't... period. It was a big wakeup call for me as I didn't see any side effects prior. I am very thankful I'm okay and it wasn't worse. 

In Other News......

Shall I do a re-cap of this week in photos ? Yep !!

Last Friday my girls and I arranged an impromptu sushi dinner date. 
That night I went to see Frances de la Tour at the Alliance Françasie reading a few of her poems alongside her cousin Sarah Beckett.
Myself, Sarah Beckett, Frances de la Tour, My beautiful friend Maria.
Sunday Maria and Myself went for a lovely Sunday lunch at the Yacht Club. The food was delicious!!
Fast forward the week and we have arrived at Carnival Sunday !! woohooooo
 Monday and Tuesday is Carnival and I hope to get some footage for you guys. I am not playing this year, except for J'ouvert which the pre-party begins tomorrow morning at 1 am. 


Less than 7 hours to go <3

 I can't believe that Saturday would be 1 year I have been blogging and I figured what better way to celebrate than with my first VLOG post!!!!
But before I get into that alone, I decided that the perfect way to begin will be with a Q & A.
That's where you guys, my readers, come in!
Doesn't that sound fun? Haha Well... maybe just to me. :)

 So please leave your questions in the comment section below and once appropriate enough I will answer them on my vlog. I will choose 10 Questions so feel free to leave as many as you would like. This would also be great for you to get to know me a little more. :)

I have promised to you guys and myself that I will do a vlog soon enough and today I thought "yes, today I will do one" but the day didn't exactly turn out to be unproductive. 
Tonight I had initally planned to go to a Chinese Orchestra but instead got roped in and caught up in helping my sister make Carnival costumes for the children at her kids school. But, it was enjoyable. :)

On the weekend I bought some starch mangoes (which is a popular type in the Caribbean) and they were so delicious that even my nieces couldn't resist and sadly they didn't last a day. They are actually my favourite fruit. I could never resist !
Types of Mangoes in Trinidad

On Sunday I went on a little nature walk through Chaguaramas which was much needed. 
On the grounds before the trail there was a Pomerac tree, another tropical fruit. :)
Coolest Aunty ever !! lol
Other than my weekends being spent finding fruits and being a kid, I've been trying to study for my personal training exam and it is a lot of reading ! I've reached a chapter which is basically Biology - and I never did Biology, so my brain hurts fast. hahaha 

On the upside, when I got home on Monday I was greeted by my Jaclyn Hill palette !! Yes, I was one of the lucky ones that got through to Morphe during the hack. It wasn't easy and it was countless days of trying but so so so happy I got through and it has arrived in one piece. :)

Look how pretty !!
Yesterday I needed some 'Me' time and that is something I actually take really seriously and do a lot ! Just to go somewhere, grab a bite to eat and enjoy the present, the moment. 

I stopped off at a little café called Chaud Café & Wine Bar and had a glass of Moscato and some Mushroom & Farro salad. It was my first time having Farro and I fell in love ! 
I sat outside and enjoyed the evening breeze, it was so enjoyable and relaxing !
Making the kiddies carnival costumes. 
Yes, Carnival the greatest show on Earth !
A yearly event that falls on the Monday & Tuesday before Ash Wednesday.
This year it will fall on the 16th & 17th (of February) and hopefully I would get some photos and videos this time to share. :) 
Perhaps even dedicate an entire post to Carnival, the music, the costumes, the excitement. :)
In the meantime.... enjoy a sneak peak.
Have you ever heard of Trinidad & Tobago Carnival? 
I'll love to hear what you think. :)
