My Favorite Drink Spots in Nassau

Cheers to the freaking weekend, I’ll drink to that! Let’s be honest, if it’s one thing this year has shown us, everyday is one for celebration and it makes no sense waiting and waiting for the “right time” to do what you want. I like drinks simple as that. Prosecco, mojitos, daiquiris and most recently I’ve even started drinking gin. I won’t even get started on my affinity for wines. The Bahamas is known for unique culinary experiences but do we really talk enough about the libations? Here’s my favorite drink spots in Nassau.

10 Things I’ve Learned So Far in My 20s

I’m officially a little over a month into 26 and honestly, I’m not where I thought I would be. I’m sure most of us feel these inadequacies ever so often, but I always tend to feel it more around my birthday. I hate that, but it happens. I try to find the balance between celebrating my life, while having those feelings. However, after some reflection, I’m reminded that life is filled with ups and downs and any day is a day for celebration, especially if that day is a birthday! Furthermore, in these 26 trips around the sun, I’ve learned many lessons about this life. Here are 10 things I’ve learned so far in my twenties.

Dining with Derencia: Shima

I am just so excited to finally be able to dine at a restaurant again! Like, y’all don’t understand. I have literally been craving a culinary experience for months. I know that some people have missed watching movies at the theater, lounging on the beach, having a blast with their friends at fetes, but for me it was really the dining out. You know the “I’ll be taking care of you guys tonight, can I start you off with any of our signature cocktails?” Whew yes, I need it.
