I love that Central London is 40 minutes from my home town, being with my family and friends who because of work commitments we spend hours on Facetime...I am just on the countryside borders, so I love the lush green parks and beautiful woodlands that surround us. I have turned into a keen novice gardener and have even been known to be walking around the local allotment purchasing organic herbs and vegetables!
Favourite Concert
I have so many I am having difficulty choosing one. I love Rythmn and Blues and all Soul, Jazz Music along with Soca.
I have been fortunate to see many of the Icons and Concert masters including Micheal and Janet Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Tina Turner, Luther Vandross, Anita Baker and my Music man the one and only Prince, who I was fortunate to meet on four occasions.
Concerts were my mode of relaxation, I went to so many, and was always blown away by the talent and commitment by the artists, they were always outstanding.
The best holiday ever
We visited Italy, the magical city of Rome on a sunny Easter weekend. The Vatican was amazing, so opulent, Trevi fountain, it was all so captivating, the food the architecture, culture and style so looking to another visit again soon possibly Milan.
What's my favourite food
Roti, Roti... My home cooking of traditional Trini Christmas Dinner with my special Caribbean Turkey recipe, seasoned rice, homemade stuffing, followed by crunchy apple crumble layered with vanilla ice cream.

I believe the Cosmetic brands are aware of the spending power that Social Media Marketing involving product placement, celebrity Makeup Artists and Stylists.
They are supposed to have a level of expertise in a particular area, or have social influence, with one swish of a pony tail, one application of mascara millions of items can be sold in a matter of hours. With such huge numbers of followers, astronomical budgets to shift many brands will use their status for popularity to gain the trust of the influencer's tribe.
The most famous influencer's in the Social and Beauty Industry is Kim Kardashian, with sister Kylie worth over $1.2million per post, another favorite of mine is makeup artist Huda Kattan.
With over 3.5 billion social media users worldwide and a market growth of 9% yearly that's a lot of money!
However, the public are aware of the current impact celebrity endorsements, and collaborations have on marketing specially when millions of dollars are spent on publicity. There is a new product launch, every day and young women are using their social media platforms to receive a piece of the pie, by cultivating their followers, getting on the best Press lists to receive the latest product instantly and before anyone else.
The future is exciting with so many Makeup and Beauty Guru's partnering with Global brands. I am particularly pleased that the public voice is being heard, we can see in stores and online every day new Cosmetic Entrepreneurs developing a strong commitment to many rising stars. These include Organic, Saving the planet, Non Toxic, Cruelty Free, Men's and the growing need for Clean ranges for teens and babies, without suspicious ingredients.
