5. 4. 3. 2. 1… fireworks, confetti, champagne, hugs and kisses abound with enthusiastic shouts of “Happy New Year!” In the midst of this whirlwind is a couple, backs turned towards each other as they force smiles and return well wishes to those around them. Who is this couple? And, what could be so bad...

My life as a victim (Safety tips for the holidays!)
Numb… the only word to describe how I felt as I sat reading the report confirming that the partially burnt body found along Port Royal main road was that of Tandy Lewis, the public relations officer at the Post and Telecoms Department who has been reported missing since October 13. The autopsy revealed that she...

Stormy Situations & Hurricane Sandy
It is 3 a.m. in the morning and my hubby is decked out in operational gears. I have no idea where he is going (of course in this field one cannot divulge much to his wife) but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that whatever he is about to embark on is...

Unleash your inner Skettel! Fervida!
The flyer read, Come out and taste Fervida - sensuality unleashed. The part that really got my attention? Come and try us on for size. Say what?! O.K. before you all start thinking that I went to a group orgy, Fervida is Italian for intense or passionate and is a six-week workshop hosted by Caleen Diedrick. Caleen is UWI graduate with...

You’re so full of sh-t!
I walk into the office, both nervous and curious at the same time. I thought to myself, this must be one of the most horrible jobs on the planet. Surely, there can’t be anything “fulfilling” about shoving a tube up someone’s ass while watching faeces flow out of their body. I break out in a sweat...

Decisions you should make before getting married
A wedding requires a lot of planning and decision-making, but it’s nothing compared to the decisions you will be required to make when married. Most people put off talking about the really important things until after they tie the knot. Big mistake. Huge. Here is my list of things that you simple must address before...

There’s a thin line between love and murder! (It’s called snoring)
There's a thin line between love and murder. If you are lying beside my snoring husband then this is even more real. It starts out slow, like a low buzz and then picks up momentum like a Leigh Land truck or a freight train bearing down on you. When a gentle toss doesn’t work, I elbow...

If cleanliness is next to Godliness, are men are further from God?
If you are moving in together or you just got hitched, brace yourself for a few surprising, or hugely annoying things about your mate that will drive you nuts. I am still struggling to understand how does one simply walk out of their clothes, leaving them strewn along the floor like the breadcrumbs of Hansen and Gretel? Why...
