It’s a TWO YEAR BlOGIVERSARY (Blog Anniversary)! I can’t believe it’s been two years already since I started The Business of Chic (TBOC)! I started TBOC back in 2016 when I was completing my Masters Degree in the UK. At the time, I was looking for a creative outlet to express my style and inner feelings and blogging seemed like the perfect thing. Starting a fashion blog had been on my mind for a while at that point so I finally decided to take the plunge and I haven’t looked back since! To celebrate this occasion, I thought it would be fitting to…
‘It’s the most wonderful time of the year!‘ Why yes, yes it is! As a self proclaimed foodie, I love Christmas, not for gifts or even family fun, but for the FOOD and Christmas Treats, especially Ham! I really, really enjoy the typical foods present at a Caribbean Christmas lunch/dinner such as rice and peas, scalloped potato, macaroni pie, baked chicken and the list goes on.

Christmas is a time for spreading joy and cheer and sharing love and laughter.

With less than a week to go, I am only now considering Christmas presents. Given my limited time and…
Happy CHICmas! I will be celebrating 5 Days of CHICmas with a new blog everyday leading up to Christmas Day! Enjoy! With Christmas less than a week away, there is nothing everyone in Anguilla dreamed of more than a Bright Christmas. On September 6th, 2017, Hurricane Irma swept through Anguilla causing destruction to many homes and buildings as well as extensive damage to our electricity grid and communications services. Over the past few months, Anguilla has shown its strength and resilience as we continue to bounce back strong from the most devastating hurricane to ever hit our little island. Thanks to the hard…
If you were born before 2000, you probably grew up hearing the phrase ‘Don’t talk to strangers on the internet‘ quite often. You were probably also warned not to share photos online or personal information. Fast forward to the present, and it is clear that those are words/actions we no longer abide by. Engaging with strangers online and sharing hundreds and thousands of photos and details of our personal lives is not just popular, it’s the norm thanks to Social Media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and You Tube. For many people, social media is a good thing. Personally, I enjoy social media and…
