I came across a blog today and there was a post called “If I had a million dollars”. It’s part of a special weekly trends “Finish that sentence Friday”. Pretty self-explanatory! Today’s sentence is “If I had a million dollars, I…” One of the blogger posted a video of Barenaked Ladies which has a song titled. Wait for it…” If…
You get what you pay for!
I wanted to share my recent experience with an online order I placed at Bath and Body Works during their huge semi-annual sale (that is still ongoing, while supplies last). If you’ve read my Christmas 2013 Recap, you would know that I had already gone into the store and came out with quite a few items…
Debt Monster: Facing It!
I’ve been reluctant to make New Year resolutions. Why may you ask? Fear! The fear of failing by not following through with them that is. But there is one goal I want to set for myself, and that is being debt free! Last month I posted about something that was personal. I debated whether or not…
Freedom Soup? There is Such a Thing!
First and foremost, I would like to wish all my fellow Haitians a Happy Independence Day. For those of you who didn’t know, January 1st mark the 210th year since Haiti became independent. FREEEEDOOOMMMM!! Which brings us to the famous soup joumou that EVERY Haitian has had at one point or another in their life. Like dude,…
Happy New Year’s Eve, Have a cookie!
New Year’s Eve! Parties, fun, drinks, laundry? Yep laundry! While many of you are getting ready for a fun night out with friends, I am at home doing some laundry. Why? Because I was told (all my life) that you cannot start the New Year with dirty laundry. Now, they might have said it…
Brace Yourself, Soup Joumou is Coming!
Today my dear sister sent me on a mission! Ok it was a grocery run, but by the time I was done, I felt like I’d accomplished some sort of mission… My morning started off with 5 texts messages from my sister (back to back) of a list of items we will need to make…
Christmas 2013 Recap
This year was by far one of the best Christmas I had in a very long time. I got to spend it with family and friends over some delicious food! Loved all my gifts and the best thing is after buying gifts for everyone on my list, I didn’t have a negative balance in my bank account (yahoo). I’m…
That Thankful Feeling
I have spent the last two weeks getting mentally prepared for Christmas and the last three days doing the actual prepping. Let’s just say getting “mentally prepared” for something doesn’t mean a damn thing. I should know, I have about 3 basket of clean laundry waiting to be folded (as if mentally thinking that they are…
BonHommes: Love, Smiling and Compassion
Interview with the creator of BonHommes: Love, Smiling and Compassion I was introduced to Carole last week. We share a mutual friend, and after looking at her Facebook page, I just fell in love with her work. After watching her interview on the Global News, I knew that I just HAD to get my hands…
The Heir
“It has been said time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind protecting its sanity covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens, but it’s never gone.” – Rose Kennedy The Heir Below is a painting done by my good friend Jason. It is called “The Heir”….
December 2013: Let it Snow
The long awaited December warmer and the scent of the month are finally here! December’s scent of the month is Spiced Berries “Frankincense and myrrh waft beneath decadent berries to create a timeless scent.” If I had to describe this scent in one word, it would be “Christmas-say”. When I warmed it up, I could…
Art Life
Today I wanted to do another interview about Art Life. This interview is dear to my heart because I’m interviewing my dear friend Jason. I met Jason in high school, many many…many years ago. We had Mr. Holt English class together. We lost touch after high school but thanks to Myspace, and later on Facebook,…
The Monster on the Wall
In 2009 I went back to work after taking a year off work for maternity. It wasn’t the easiest decision giving the fact that I was still breastfeeding at the time and my son would refuse to drink the breast milk from a bottle (spoil, I tell ya!). Leaving him was tough at first but I was lucky…
Confession of a multitasker
Hi, my name is Marielle and I like to start 100 projects at once till I get so overwhelmed that I quit. There, I admit it. I have a problem. Which I’m working diligently on correcting…I tell myself is it “multitasking” but I’m only fooling myself. For the past two weeks I’ve been doing…
Owl always love you: My owl collections!
The other day my sister asked me “What’s with you and owls?” Which made me stop for a second and ponder on that question. “What’s with owls and me? When did I even start liking them so much?” To be honest, I don’t quite know WHEN or WHY I started to be obese with owls. I…
