Jamaican Sight Seeing

So I have to start with the coolest part of the day first…drumroll please… WE SAW A STINGRAY while we were snorkeling. And while I was watching him, a school of silver fish swam into me and started nibbling on my legs. I have found the perk to my sunburn: I look like a giant yummy strawberry, which translates into

Snorkel Fun, Too Much Sun

Uniquely Jamaica!

I have never blogged from my phone before, but as I sit out here on the patio waiting for Brandon to wake up, I thought I would share a few more unique things about the country.

Smile for Your Satellite Picture

Last night was a romantic evening to say the least.  It deserves a blog of it’s own, but with a lack of time tonight, I shall skip most of it.  I will say it was amazing learning that the moving lights I saw far off were satellites.  Brandon is so smart.  It reminded me of one of my favorite sayings

How To Get Everything You’re Entitled To

By: Tina Baiter Over the last few months something has really started to irritate me, and I notice it irritates a lot of other people too. I even realized that by partaking in it, I was becoming irritated at others. That is when I realized just how much our society has grown to allow the feeling of entitlement to control

Branding Your Small Business

Branding your small business is a major cornerstone to your marketing campaign’s success. Those are words I strongly stand behind. So you can imagine my curiosity when I recently saw the book Branding Only Works on Cattle: The New Way to Get Known (and drive your competitors crazy) by Jonathan Baskin sitting on a shelf. As a Texan, the book not

Wag Your Own Tail

By: Tina Baiter Have you ever put your nose in the middle of something, thinking you were helping, only to watch the entire event blow up in your face? I try to live a fairly drama-free life, mainly because drama creates stress and sucks the energy out of my otherwise overly productive and energetic personality. But a few weeks ago,
