Hey, hey, hey! So today I thought to try something a little different, I wanted to give you the opportunity to get to know me a little better. I understand that while I am a somewhat “public” figure, I am a very private individual which is why I think sharing 25 Things You Don’t Know About myself is pretty cool!
-
- I have always wanted to be a writer. As a little girl I always dreamt of being an author and writing a few fiction novels. I still hope to write a book someday!
- I am a certified island gyal! I was born in The Bahamas to a Bahamian father and a Jamaican mother. I’ve lived in The Bahamas all of my life and travelled to Jamaica last year for the first time! I can’t wait to return and explore more of the beautiful country.
- I am an introverted extrovert, if that makes sense. I love meeting new people, but at times, I just want to run in the other direction. It’s something I’m working on.
- I don’t drink coffee. I’m British in my head. I love tea! Mint tea, ginger tea, you name it.
- I am a Leo! (In case you couldn’t tell!)
- I grew up with my aunt Vernie, who was a master baker! So I have an appreciation for yummy cakes. My friends think I’m a granny because my favourite cake is a yellow cake!
- I think I inherited a baking thumb. I make the best cheesecakes and during Christmas time, I bake a mean fruit cake, further proof that I’m an old soul.
- I am a card-carrying member of the Bey Hive. I love Beyonce, because she is the epitome of excellence and is a legend.
- I began blogging in 2011, my first blog was called “Sort Of A Major Deal”, then it slowly morphed into SHESOMAJOR.
- Although I have travelled extensively around the world, my favourite place to travel will always be New York City! There’s no city in the world quite like it!
- I have a twin brother….wellll not exactly, but I swear to you, my mother had the same child twice. My brother has my entire face. Just think Sherice, without a low cut. It’s actually quite scary.
- My favourite flowers are peonies, ranunculus and sunflowers. I would like to have a little garden someday, but I don’t think I can keep anything alive.
- I’m a former pageant girl. My first pageant was at the age of 9/10. I am also a former Ms. Hawaaian Tropic.
- If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would probably be pasta. Yummy!
- My favourite t.v. show is Grey’s Anatomy, I haven’t missed an episode since 2005.
- My favourite book is The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo. I am a firm believer in putting your dreams into the atmosphere.
- I majored in Spanish & Communications and quickly dropped the Spanish after my first semester. I graduated with a degree in Journalism & Mass Communications.
- My nickname in high school was ‘Pocahontas’.
- I am obsessed with being on time! Being late is so disrespectful. Sadly, my life is filled with disrespectful people as my friends are never on time for anything! 🙁
- I live near the beach but I don’t go as much as people think I should. I guess it’s a case of not appreciating what you have. I drive past the beach every single day and work out on the beach but I don’t go in.
- I put myself through college. Many people come up with excuses as to why they can’t achieve something and I use myself as an example to show people anything is possible with hard work! I worked part-time and went to school part-time.
- I love saving money. One of the first things my aunt taught me and I will never forget is the importance of saving. No matter how small the amount, you should try to save a consistent amount every month. Rainy days always come around.
- I wanted to become an actress. I went to acting classes with a few former actors and actresses and I even went so far as to sign up and pay for acting classes in New York City. I saved so much money to attend classes at this fancy school in the city only to quit after one class because it was super challenging. Looking back on that experience, I resent quitting because I’m pretty sure I would’ve turned out to be a phenomenal actress.
- I love the golden oldies, cues up Lionel Richie, Otis Redding, Diana Ross, anything old…they don’t make music like they used to! (There’s the old part of me talking again!)
- This may not be a secret, but I am frugal! I hate spending money, BUT, I love nice things. How does that even work? I may purchase one BIG item a year, and throughout the year it’s just 20$ shirts and catching as many sales and deals as possible. I try to shop smart, and I also try to buy more quality and long-lasting pieces. My motto is quality over quantity.

I’m curious, how many of these things did you guys actually know? Are there any other questions you would love for me to answer? Maybe I can do a part 2 with questions sourced solely from you guys!
