"nobody wanna be in the bed sweating when you are trying to sleep" My girl... the way you said that part, it just put a smile on my face. Happy to see your personality shine through. 😂
Yeahhhh I don't plan on retiring fully in the U.S. Really, I plan on say having one foot in the U.S. and one foot in Ghana (my family's home land)... just go back and forth as I please, but my husband's parents and my parents have since retired in Ghana after living and working and raising a family in the United States for decades. They now visit the United States certain times of the year.
As soon as you moved in it became your home, your presence alone made it your home things purchased will make it comfortable, but you made it your home. Be Blessed.💞
I was living out there for some months, a dryer came in handy for me on the nonstop rainy days. I remember seeing my laundry piling up because I was waiting for the rain to stop, it rained nonstop for about 4-5 days. So for me it was a necessity to have a dryer, I only used it when it was needed though.
I am proud of you and your accomplishments, keep doing you and what makes you happy. By the time you look your porch is going to look like your neighbors. A home becomes a home once you start to feel that warm and tizzy feeling. When you go home and you feel comfortable and at peace. Stay blessed my sis.
I love ur authentic video, reminds me of when I was putting my home together😊 I enjoyed it. I do have a dryer for rainy season however I love using dryer for my towels 8t makes them softer. I'm a lover of plants & animals, u r going to enjoy ur space coming together with those plants. Ur dinner looks yummy, REAL FOOD.
Congratulations 🎉I just found your channel today July 11, 2024. I rarely make comments on social media…. 😢but I am so happy for you and how brave you are. To be honest my heart has been longing for home ever since I started a non profit Organization and started helping children in Orphanages. We just left the Island about two weeks before the hurricane. We visited a CHILDREN’S Orphanage in Hanover all disabled children, adolescents and young adults….. I truly have been praying about this. Please stay safe! God bless you.
Good morning. I'm a new subscriber, just came across your video, first time watching. I must say I enjoyed your video, now I have to try and your older previous videos.
You 😊NEED a dryer. You can wash whenever you want and have them dried without waiting for the sun. My advice... Dont act foreign!! Be Jamaican because ALL Jamaican have been culturally conditioned to believe once you travel your name change to money. But, a we mek dem believe suh. Some a we too show off! An attract wickedness to ourselves. Your place is lovely!
Happy to see this update and you can see you're growing happier and more content with each step. You have such a nice vibe and you made me lauuuugh few times good! 😂 Such and inspiration and just nice to see it is possible.
Thanks for giving us an update. Take your time, Rome wasn't built in a day. The A/C for the livingroom will come. Keep posting content & we'll like, comment, share...the whole 9. Your commentary when you were talking about washing by hands...hilarious 😂. Yay, you don't need a dryer in Jamaica.
New to the channel whoever did that cloth line should of put on a metal cloth line food look good nice house Jamaica is expensive don’t think I could leave a first world country and move back to Jamaica though Blessing
As a Jamaican, I’m planning to get me a dryer. When it’s raining for a whole week or two and the clothes are piling up, I get miserable and mi naw lie, sometimes when the sun is hot 🥵 it’s a whole sweaty experience. For now I try to wake up before the sun to hang out my clothes. Your Gucci clothes like is for real. These people want to charge you an arm and a leg for doing the simplest of tasks. Be careful of them. They took most of the money and barely bout any quality material. Lovely video. Do enjoy making your house a home.
When they don't have a lot of rooting don't burst the drain holes in the planter till they are well rooted in the soil then you open the holes to drain the excess water because moving them from water to soil is a big shock for them.
I’m just watching the video and I haven’t finish watching it but I hope you took the sectional because the three pieces nobody’s doing those anymore One piece with two accent chair
Congratulations on your new home, just my opinion. Your living room sectional furniture don't look good separated ,it will look a lot better keeping the peaces together .reason your living room seams to a bit small ,maybe you should have gotten 3 peace set. Oh those little yellow trow pillows don't look right. No ofence just my opinion. And I do know about interior decoration .
I love your video I'm hoping to move back home as well after living so long in the UK, if you don't mind me asking where is this area it looks really cool and relaxed
Girl...u need a washer and a dryer ofcourse..and yes jamaica has sunshine but sometimes it is a necessity for the dryer. I need a dryer cause the sun hot and mi hate pin out clothes.. stress mi out and mek mi miserable. And it ALWAYS I mean Always rain on my laundry day
Dryer is just a lot more convenient. Yuh know how much time rain wet up me clothes pon line 😢. I'm a late night washer so a dryer would be a must for me.
I asked that question before about the dryer and I was told some seasons the rain falls for days at a time. I love to see my clothes blowing from the breeze.
When I am home on Vacation I hang my clothes early in the morning before the sun gets hot so the breeze dry them because the sun also fades the colours.
Tell me about it! I’m from Miami and moving back too and the way they be taxing me when I open my mouth. Everything is quadruple the price, so now I just let my sister in law talk for me. I got a washer/dryer combo bc I can’t with the rainy season. One minute the sun is out next minute it’s raining and I’m not running to get the clothes off the line lol too much work and I don’t like the smell it leaves on the clothes. Just my little pet peeve. I bought 2 ac units also but one for the bedroom and the other for the living room area and I spent around $300,000 JMD so I feel your pain. I got a similar sectional from courts but I have it in a linen color, it’s very comfortable. My nephews fall asleep on there all the time. Congratulations and good luck on your journey.🥰
@@lifeofEmpress Be careful with the palnts on the verandah abd inside They attracts mosquitos and knats when you water them. . Google plants that deter mosquitos and use those instead.
The only problem with potted plants you have to be there to take care of them. If you plan to leave for more than a week they won't last unless you hav some to take care of them.
Make sure you have a/c thats the most important thing you could ever invest in.get all wood furniture in Jamaica. Foreign wood no good in the heat.Enjoy .
Awwww. where did you move from, Canada or the USA? I;m happy for you I m glad you are settling in well ( despite breaking the budget..lol Once yuh inn JA money just goes)and that you have nice neighbours. Yuh nuh waah leave farin and guh live amongst ppl who are toxic. I love your neighbours' flowers and trust me yours will get there too; due process. I find gardening very therapeutic and my husband don't see why i put time into making the yard looks good. The line needs help but it can gwaan fi now. But yeah,back to the dryer, i wont need one; having a washing machine is fine because wid di pain inna my body, mih cyaa manage dem de work inna my mature stage now. I did enough up to the age of 16 when i left JA. I'm hoping to be a snowbird and maybe i will eventually move back right out and so i'm making sure to be as fiscally responsible as I can. I'll be watching more of you. All the best Empress!
Hi! Just found your channel and subscribed. Almost finished building our house...I can attest to some of the inflated prices once the workmen sense that you live overseas😢. I'm in the St Ann area and still trying to find my way around when I visit. Can you please tell me where the Chinese store is where you got the pots. I've been shopping at Rapid True value for small items that I realize I need, but they are so pricey!!!!
Thanks for the sub!... the store is in St Anns bay on the main street across from Chucks bakery, there are a few Chinese Wholesale. Look for the one that has all the pots outside.
Gucci it spell and that says Guci so the clothes line is not original. Fake. 😅 Loving the pots and the plants. Plant them by all means they will catch quick in the dirt also. You will know if you have Green Fingers. Gardening is so therapeutic. Good luck with your gardening. Congrats on your home. ❤

My girl... the way you said that part, it just put a smile on my face.
Happy to see your personality shine through.
😂
🤣😂 thanks....you know how that go.🤭
Lol... same... the pause/thought that came afterwards... "... when you are trying to sleep." Lol.
The min you enter the house and congratulations on your move I’m building in the country I’m so ready to leave the USA
Thank you, congrats to you too.
Yeahhhh I don't plan on retiring fully in the U.S. Really, I plan on say having one foot in the U.S. and one foot in Ghana (my family's home land)... just go back and forth as I please, but my husband's parents and my parents have since retired in Ghana after living and working and raising a family in the United States for decades.

I really like those yellow accent pillows with the blue couches.
Yes, yellow and blue are a great combo.
We love the long video, thank you Empress!
Thanks, more to come!
