15 Aug Jamaicans Do It Brighter
We snuck away to Jamaica for my fellow Brown Upper-East-Sider’s birthday. It literally took us 24 hours, 12 of it waiting in airports, 4 planes and one overnight stay in Charlotte, North Carolina. The minute we touched down and saw that brightly blue colored water, we high-fived like yessss, we made it!
Here’s the thing about being in the Caribbean–I get distracted by two things: how friendly the people are and the bright colors. Like, the airport was purple. Who does that?
Jamaicans do. They do it brighter.
I love that they aren’t afraid of standing out. Buildings, their uniforms, the girls nails, the water, everything here makes me happy to look at. Arianna and I were saying we may never come back. Yall. I climbed up a mountain under a waterfall. It’s so relaxing. I swam with dolphins and let her kiss me on the cheek.
All in a mix-matched neon bikini with my cherry red gel nails. And my wild hair. I decided to let go of off all my inhibitions and I can’t wait to tell you how but for now, I just wanted to say I’m alive (hi Mom!!) but in Jamaica. If you see a tiny girl, in bright colors, with big hair, say hey. I clean up nice, I promise–see below for evidence.
Spiced Rums Finally Seen the Light. Malibu Island Spiced combines Malibus signature blend of Caribbean rum and coconut liqueur with light spices, smoked vanilla, cinnamon and a touch of sweetness with Truvia®, zero-calorie sweetener. The result is a lo-cal, big-flavored spiced rum alternative. Find out more here.
p.s.Compensation was provided by Pernod Ricard via Glam Media. Jamaicans do it brighter, though, like really.

Between me and my husband we have owned far more MP3 gamers through the years than I can count, like Sansas, iRivers, iPods (traditional & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few a long time I’ve settled down to one line of gamers.
