So I know I had promised a Cuba travel guide, but life got in the way…! Most of you will go to La Havana, and I provided a pretty detailed run down here. Otherwise, definitely visit CienFuegos, Trinidad, and Vinales (the beach) should you find yourself in Cuba. The cities are small enough to explore in a day or two, and you will LIVE! I’ve been in NYC for a week, and am already back into the swing of things,…
The Bomb Life 101: Reflections on the USA vs. Cuba’s Stance on Guns and Racism in Light of Mass Shootings in Orlando
When I touched back down in the States this weekend, my Facebook timeline was flooded with sickening, heart wrenching news: 50 gay men were killed in a mass shooting in Orlando. 50 more were injured. All by one man with evil intent and free access to a gun. Cuba is far from perfect. Mostly everything is crumbling or in disrepair. People don’t have the trappings of wealth or first world excess. But what impressed me the most about Cuba was…
The Bomb Life Havana, Cuba Travel Guide: Where to Stay, What to Do, What to See
Happy Monday, Bombshells! I’m currently in Trinidad, Cuba, using the last few minutes on my Etesca Wifi Card to write you about my experience thus far in Cuba! We’ve only been here for a few days, but I am already deep, deep in love. The country is beautiful, the food is delish, and the history is what really makes Cuba one of the most interesting places I’ve ever visited. When you touch down, you instantly see loads of 50’s and…
The Bomb Travel: Day 1 of My Journey to Cuba + Update on My 20 Lb Bag Challenge
So my journey to Cuba has begun! My Dad has been a pilot since I was a wee little lass. Because of how complicated it still is to fly to Cuba, he decided to fly my sister, stepmother, and I to the country in his small plane. As many times as you may fly commercially, nothing can quite brace you for flying in a small plane. Every cloud and portent of bad weather makes the situation extremely precarious. Of course…
Atlanta Style Diary: Dinner with Eudoxie and Letoya Luckett + Partying with Amber Rose at Gold Room Wearing a Black Topshop Lace Up Bodysuit and Zara Fringed Skirt
So I popped down to Atlanta for Memorial Day weekend (I’m currently en route to Cuba in a VERY small plane). Sunday night was electric and transformative, beginning with a day at the Lake, followed by dinner with Eudoxie and Letoya Luckett. Let me tell you: I was so happy to break bread and fellowship with those two ladies. They are brilliant and beautiful both inside and out. We talked about collaborating soon, so stay tuned! After dinner, I high…
Lake Lanier Memorial Day Style Diary: A White Michael Kors Swimsuit and Kyna Collection Duster
All white is always a sure bet for brown skinned people (hence, why we love a good white party!). So every summer, I get a new white suit! I was on the search for the perfect suit at Lenox Mall, and let me tell you: just go to Macy’s. They have a large selection, frequent discounts, and a good range of sizes. I happened upon Michael Kors’s Twist Halter Neck Swimsuit, and I picked it up without trying it on.…
