Unboxing And Review Of My New Pandora Jewelry💍 Travel Box 🎁


I Felt Like I Was Treated Like A Common Criminal In Trinidad And Tobago

I went into this store, in Trinidad and Tobago, on December 17, 2017 because my daughter wanted to get a specific item.  As soon as I entered the store, Kappa Drugs to be precise, for the first time, I was impressed, it was roomy and I could see right away that I could get everything I needed in this one store!!!

So my daughter got the item that she wanted and paid for it.  I took her package from her and headed for the exit.  She however went to get another item.  As I approached the exit door, I was approached by a young lady who told me that she has to do a random check and need to see my receipt and the items I purchased.  She also said that she had to check my hand bag.  To top that off I had to empty my bag.  Like I said before I was by the exit door so there was not really any place that I could place the items that were in my  hand bag.  I ended up putting the items in a shopping basket that was nearby.

By this time I was grumbling to myself and was obviously showing my dissatisfaction of having to empty my hand bag like a common criminal.  The lady who checked my bag said "and she showing attitude".  That was absolutely rude and disrespectful of her.  Again, I felt like I was treated like a criminal.  As the lady was going through the items that were in my hand bag, I saw at the corner of my eye, the male security guard, come close by and looked over to see the items that were in my bag!!

Well what happened next took the series of event to a next level!

I put my items back into my hand bag and proceeded to wait for my daughter as she was having her other items cashed.  I eventually approached her because I found that it was taking too long for her to be served.  I told her that I wanted to the leave and expressed how angry and upset I was by the events that happened earlier.

So as I was about to exit the door, I heard someone calling me,  I looked around and the security guard told me that they had to check my bag again as I went back into the store!!!!  Now this was a double dose of being angry for me!!!  I did not resist but I again expressed my dissatisfaction.  The guard had the audacity to ask me if I did not know what a random check meant!  My daughter and I responded to him simultaneously - DO YOU KNOW WHAT RANDOM MEANS???  He was totally out of place!

I would not be shopping at this store again regardless of the location.  I am a Trinidadian YouTuber and have quite a few Trinidad and Tobago subscribers and will definitely be sharing my experience with them.

How To Store Your Pandora Jewelry💍 When Travelling Overseas


How To Clean My Tarnished Pandora Murano Charm💍


Retired Charms In My Pandora Jewelry💍 Collection

I recently created a spreadsheet with a list of all the items in my Pandora Jewelry collection and decided to itemize the Pandora charms that are retired.  I used the information from Pandora website to put together the data and was surprised to find out that some of the charms that I had on my Wish List were retired, which basically means I would not get them at my local Pandora jewelry store any more.  

However there is an online store - Rue La La that sells authentic retired Pandora Jewelry.  On my first attempt to purchase a retired item, the shipping cost was more than the charm itself so I did not go ahead with the purchase.

On my second attempt I found out that I can only make a purchase if I had an American bank account, which I don't have.  On one of my Pandora jewelry hauls at my local store, I was just in time to get two retired charm, - the London Bus and Charles Bridge (dangle charm).

You can also get retired Pandora Jewelry charms on Ebay but I have heard numerous reports that not authentic Pandora jewelry is sold.

My Over 40 Years Old Antique Jewelry💍Box🎁


My mother takes real good care of her things which allows me the opportunity to share this over 40 years old dancing ballerina jewelry box.

On one of my trips to my home country, Trinidad and Tobago I was inspired to showcase this antique dancing ballerina jewelry box in the video below.  It works perfectly, the ballerina and her partner still dance, the exterior of the box is in perfect condition.

If I can remember correctly my mom gifted me this dancing ballerina jewelry box for my birthday many years ago before my first child was born, who is over 30 years at the time of this post . 


This year 2019, I purchased a new jewelry box, for my birthday, that can hold my Pandora jewelry collection and other items.  The other jewelry box I had was damaged during hurricane Irma in 2017. Check out my blog post about my new jewelry box.  CLICK HERE

How To Clear Semi Blocked Ear👂Piercings


Have you ever had a problem where you are trying to put your earrings into your ear piercing and are having difficulty?  Well let me show you how to solve this problem. 

Put a small bit of moisturizer like Vaseline, Coconut OilBaby Oil, Olive Oil etc on your finger tips (index finger and thumb) and massage the ear piercing with your moisturized finger tips.  Next pull the ear lobe a bit and gently try to put your earrings into your ear piercing.  

If it does not work maybe the ear piercing is totally blocked.  If  the ear piercing bleeds or was bleeding before, do not try this tip.  Allow the ear piercing to heal properly before trying this tip.  Good Luck!!
