Friday Faves: Soca+Jewelry+Carnival

Today is Friday (Thank you God) and that means the weekend is basically here!!! I know a few of ya'll are preparing to pack for Trinidad Carnival and some of ya'll are just enjoying the vibes vicariously through someone else! So, while yuh organizing, here are a few of my favorite Friday things:


Soca: My 2 favorite chunes of the week: Fay Ann's Miss Behave!! I can't explain the royal madness I feel when I hear this chune! I literally almost dance up on the bus traveling to the hair dresser this week to this chune! LOVE the VIBES, the RIDDIM and her harmonizing is beautiful! 

And Iwer's "No Pain"... Of course, if you've known me for some time, I'm a Grenadian to de BONE... and if it's one thing most of us love, is good Jab-Jab chune. The beat is all I need with this chune and if it's something like Lavaman and Talpree's chune from Grenada carnival this past summer, the performance is going to be AMAZING! Can't wait!!!

Jewelry: My favorite earrings this week is Love & Soca designs and hearts! Thanks to the lovely Petra from http://gyenyamejapan.blogspot.com, I sent a few of these Ear Candies to Tokyo for a fete! 

 Also, my birthday was this past week, so I'm full of love and had to wear the Red Leather Hearts for the day!! Check me enjoying the roses from hubby. Thank you honey.

Snow Day: Juicin' & Valentine's Day Pop-Up Shop

It SNOWED today!!! Well not blizzard like but definitely a pretty snow fall that needed shoveling and cleaning up. I met with a client today to drop off a jewelry order and do some healthy food shopping after that!

 I went to a quaint shop up the block and low and behold they had a juice out of this world called "True Blood" (Yeah I know my True Blood HBO fans are smiling right now!)

Filled with Beets, Blueberry, Banana, & Pomegranate!  

Speaking of Juicing,  please check out Juice Hugger in Brooklyn (85 Rogers Avenue between St. Marks & Prospect Pl. in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.)  . I am lover of their Cashew Milk, don't knock it till you try it!  They're putting together a Pop Up Shop Valentine's Day Store on February 11th with some fabulous creative entrepreneurs including myself and my girl from A Life Balanced! So come on by because I'll have the latest designs from Love & Soca inspired jewelry! Including the green leather hearts I'm wearing below. Oh and while you're there try their yummy juices and bring home some of the cashew milk!

Have a great day.
Peace n' Blessings,
Shanti
