Island life is full of vibrant and dynamic activity and can feel a bit like riding on a wave- as there are ups and downs and balancing acts day to day- just like everywhere else in the world. One thing remains constant though- and that is the sound of the sea rising and falling as […]

Serengel Boutique Photo Shoot
Modeling is something I’m starting to really enjoy! It’s certainly a part-time ‘gig’ for me, so to speak, and I’ve slowly been garnering more attention and more offers to model products for new companies without traveling from the USVI! Most of the modeling inquiries I receive these days are internet based either through the one […]
Belize it!
Ambergris Caye is that beautiful! Traveling is one of my passions in life and I’m drawn to exotic tropical destinations by nature. Some might find it odd that I would choose another island as a vacay destination considering my home rock is just that. Go figure! However, this seems to be the trend with me, and […]
Oh Avocado!
Oh Avocado! I could eat you every day! Avocados rank close to #1 on my favorite superfoods list! And how lucky am I to live in a place where they grow abundantly?! I even have my own avocado tree! Avocados are referred to locally as ‘pears’ because the tropical variety that we have here in […]
Stand Up Paddle Boarding on St. Croix’s Sea
I’ve always loved being in and on the water and find paddleboarding to be one of the most relaxing activities I’ve ever enjoyed. SUP, or Stand Up Paddle Boarding, is also a great all-over fitness activity and can be modified to suit your level of comfort and ability. My first experience with SUP was right […]
Tips for Taking Your Dog to the Beach
The dog days of summer are upon us! And with the Labor Day holiday weekend approaching, many of us are planning to take our dogs to the beach for some healthy fun. Beach days can be a blast when you bring along your doggy (or three!), and proper planning can ensure that you and your […]
Harvesting and Using Aloe Vera on St Croix
One of the things I love most about living on an island is the close proximity to nature and her abundance of tropical flora. One of my favorites is aloe vera. Though St. Croix is relatively small (at 218 kilometers squared) there is a marked diversity of plant life on either end of the island. […]
Zahara Swimwear
Modeling can be a ton of fun! It’s also a bit of work….especially if you don’t have much experience at it. I’ve kind of stumbled into modeling part-time by accident in my fourth decade, nonetheless! And so far, it’s been a really positive experience. I recently worked with my ‘go-to’ photographer on St. Croix, Kelly […]
10 Years of Sunshine
I founded Sunshine Foundation at my Sugar Mill Veterinary Center headquarters on February 24, 2009 in celebration of Spay Day USA. I can’t believe it’s already been 10 years of spay & neuter! Our programs were developed in an effort to make spay and neuter services available and affordable to everyone in the St. Croix community. […]
St Croix Island Life
I’m blessed to live on the island of St Croix in the US Virgin Islands near the beach where I can start my mornings with a hike and a seabath to start my day. Looking for a healthy boost post workout? Whip up a green drink like I did after my morning hike and feed your […]
