I Miss The Colors of the Caribbean, Take Me Back!

By Stacey Freeman Leave a Comment

This was not my first trip to the Caribbean. I went to the Bahamas (part 1 and part 2) back in 2014. But in those four years, I forgot about its beauty. I forgot just how indescribable the colors of the Caribbean are.

Even though it looks pretty great in a photo, the colors of the Caribbean are really hard to truly capture. I wanted to share some more of my pictures, because I have hundreds, and they take my breath away. If you’ve followed me for awhile, you know I’m into colors. I never miss the chance to post a photo of an amazing sunset. I’m equally mesmerized by street art – basically anything ultra colorful. Someone told me I see more colors than the average person. I haven’t done any work to see if that’s true, but I do love me some colors. In nature, and in the manmade world too.

The thing about the colors of the Caribbean is that they can be very bright, but they can also be very muted. Looking back at my IG feed from my recent trip, I noticed this softness, this pastel effect. The spectrum of colors fascinated me.

Although I’m so glad I have all of these photos and blog posts to look back on, I’m most excited that I don’t have to wait another four years to go back. If you follow me on IG, you might have seen me post about winning a trip back to the Caribbean next year! I went to Turks and Caicos this past October as part of the Beaches Moms conference. Lucky me, I was blessed to be selected as the contest winner to get to return to the conference in 2019.

I had such an amazing time at the conference. I met so many cool bloggers and learned a lot about the business of blogging. Not to mention, I got some quality vacation time snuck in between sessions.

But of everything I did, the highlight for me was still witnessing the beauty of the place. The colors of the Caribbean are beyond words. If you ever have the chance to visit, I highly encourage you to go. It is so lovely, and the beauty of it all gave me such a sense of calm. Even as I write this, I am transported back to that feeling when all of the stress is gone. Take me back!

What is your biggest insecurity? . For all of you What is your biggest insecurity? 
.
For all of you who have commented on my confidence, it will surprise you to know I’ve actually been insecure about my figure most of my life. I grew up in the era when straight, thin bodies were idolized, and I didn’t see my curvy shape in media. 
.
Although it might seem crazy to say, I actually thank @kimkardashian for making hourglass figures like mine cool again. I constantly see women on TikTok paying thousands of dollars to get the curves I’ve tried to hide most of my life. Seeing more diversity in body types in media and advertising has definitely helped me to feel more secure in my shape. 
.
Over the last couple of years, I’ve shifted the way I style my body too. I used to wear a lot of a-line dresses and fuller cuts. Now, I always try to show off my shape. I’m still self-conscious a lot of the time, but I’m working on it and I’m learning to love my shape a little more everyday.

MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA w MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA we spent all day at the beach yesterday. Today, we are taking in local parks and another gorgeous day. But, my heart is heavy with the state of our world. 
.
Today, as we celebrate an important figure in the fight for Black equality, I’m choosing not to share one of his famous quotes because that’s too easy. Simply sharing his words without considering or sharing my perspective about the current state of our country feels disingenuous at best.
.
I’ve struggled with how to talk about the insurrection because I still find it all so shocking. And the fact that I am shocked is a problem. That our country can be so divided that it’s difficult for me to even fathom how people could participate in this divisiveness.
.
The insurrection happened on my birthday, as I flew to Puerto Vallarta. Landing in Mexico and learning about what was happening felt surreal. I still can’t wrap my head around it, honestly.  What scares me the most is the hate. The idolizing of a white supremacist ideology is terrifying. It terrifies me for my children. For their safety. For their lives.
.
I understand that a lot of hate is spurred by fear, lack of understanding and discomfort. Today, I hope we can all think about how to be more open to thoughts and perspectives that our different than our own. Be more accepting of people who look different, who have different cultures and life experiences. Today, I hope we can all collectively try to confront every human interaction from a place of love and kindness. If we all spent a little more time considering the other person’s life or story, I think we’d have a lot more peace and happiness. #mlk #mlkday #mlkweekend
