The Summer Holiday
It has been so much spending time with friends, family, and my time along with my and my cub's time. but this year has been so much fun, and so much better than last year, everything was ten times better than ever before.
A blessed couple of months of this summer 2022, June to July, August ad now we hitting September, I got to admit all the way it has been a busy and best summer for me.
Three words to describe my summer, amazing, busy, and fun.
Each week was fun and busy full of park tips, festival events, outings, and amazing change. There were various moments that made this summer amazing, seeing family and friends, my birthday, peer birthday, and eating at various places, some places I will highly recommend for the future outing again.
Overall of all events
Celebrating my birthday and seeing my friends on theirs was a highlight of my summer, it was great vibes being able to dress up, go out and make memories with my loved ones. The brunches were blessed and a great way of partying, brunches for me is becoming the best thing to do, I can party during the day, drink cocktails, dance, and still be able to go home and get in my pyjamas, just in time for bed, or If I’m not tired watch some tv.
Fun fairs and festivals were a nice change to my summer than just taking park trips because park trips are regular in my life, so going on fun fair rides with my son, and sharing moments with my cousins, nephews, aunties, and other friends was a nice feeling, and good change for my cub, he got a to experience so many new events with me.
Getting together with family for carnival Leeds (29th August 2022), Jamaican Independence Day Festival, Birmingham Aston (6th and 7th August 2022), both of these moments was a highlight of my summer, the summer vibes, the music, the picnics made, the family bonding, joining in celebration was ama amazing experience, especially with nice weather.
walking with the carnival troops, dancing to soca, reggae, funk house, and seeing the old school artists, the different colours, and different cultures of people coming together was a lovely experience. I would definitely do this again and have more family days out next year.
I just felt blessed to see family, overall this time is valuable and important, I was blessed for these cherished moments.

It was so much fun to test my fashion sense and make changes t my wardrobe, both getting rid, of or wearing my wardrobe that was meant for a holiday but was so much fun to wear in the heart of the city I live, Birmingham, U.K.
I had so much fun from my Cinderella/ Gatsby style birthday dress to my cut-out orange dress, to my blue cinderella style dress, yellow lemon dress, my white summer top hat, different trainers, and see-through heels. I enjoyed my fashion sense, I felt like I mixed my style of Sex and the city, Tropical vibes, I loved wearing jeans, skirts, short sets, and shirts as jackets.
it felt amazing to finally wear what I wanted, show off my legs, and embrace the changes in my body. enjoy my fashion wear, even the days I wasn’t doing anything special or going anywhere I still enjoyed my homeware, and loungewear.
Food and Drinking
Was a nice adventure of eating at all the various places, trying different cocktails and mocktails, and eating what I want, with no limits, through the summer I had more than one cheat day. Eat slushies, and homemade cocktails, making my own festivals.
i relaxed with food, some days was too hot to overcook, so just salad and salmon or salad and chicken was nice. or fruit salad, waffles, pancakes, and bagels just different breakfast than just usual what I do.
some days I ordered food and some nights I got to enjoy those late summer dinners at beautiful places like Siamese and Tattu Birmingham, and late lunches like Cafe Rouge, and Nandos.
OVERALL WA A THANKFUL AND HIGHLY EVENTFUL AMAZING SUMMER OF 2022

I had a blessed summer! The best moments were relaxing in the garden with my daughter playing away, and having fun in her new sand pit, it’s the little things that mean so much.
The summer was spent focusing on my child’s health, the best part of summer was celebrating my child’s birthday and family bbq, family time.
My Summer has been awesome, spending time with my family and friends, celebrating my birthday, and enjoying the weather. The highlight was seeing my relatives from Canada, quality time with my cousin who I haven’t seen for 20 years, and meeting his beautiful wife and son for the first time in person. xx
