Life isn't very long, is it

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, my religion is kindness and positive vibrations, Karna is a reaction of your action. Life is what you make it, Live the life you love and love the life you live. I believe in Karma, do good to others and others will be good to you. With love and patience, nothing is impossible, Open your arms to change but don't let go of your values. Learn to walk before you jump. Words can hurt, think before you speak"

grown in love

‎"Falling in love" is meeting someone and talking to them for about 2 mnths..sadly for some people it is 2-3 weeks and then "realising" how much you "love" them. A relationship usually doesn't last long that way. It just brings more complications..like getting attached too quickly, not giving each other the time and space for ones-self or to miss each other, getting a bit too obsessed..and those things can lead to jealousy and Cheat-paranoia, which also drags along a crap-load of insecurities.


Growing in love is when you are in a relationship with someone who you can't really say you love at 1st...because love is not something you can determine in such a short space of time. Growing in love is when you learn about that person you're with, you allow yourself to appreciate that person's qualities and the relationship, you give yourself time to think about the reasons why you should love person, why they deserve your love. It's obviously also going through "the fire" with them but still being patient enough to listen and working things out, and that makes the relationship more valuable..which makes your love for them go a couple bars higher..simply because you appreciate everything about that person and 50/50 fairness is 

lovely.

1st visit to the Limegrove Barbados complex

LIMEGROVE BARBADOS - The Lifestyle Centre





My flame and I took a trip to Holetown, St.James yesterday to check out the new west-coast complex even though not that new, as I've been knowledgeable about this Altman's development since it's intro in the Ins + Outs Barbados 09' publication. That was a bit of time ago, when the focus was really on the residential aspect and which stores might get the exclusive luxury opportunity to operate. Roof-deck Club Priva Barbados is one such company.


Making our entry into the Courtyard, we bypassed the Ralph Lauren outlet store, a HOT spicy lingerie store and Dolce Gelato's own Pastry Box [for the sweet tooths like me] and I recognized a condiment store from India [the owner had gotten a big expose in a local outlet, I remember].
 As we took in all the sleek lines and parallel modern architecture, we noticed a a few touchscreen panels in the walls. There was a self-playing piano [from Pianoman Barbados] tucked well into a corner on the 1st floor, where we also saw the Grove Gallery with the very intriguing + dazzling Treasures From Another Island: Cuban Art Showcase.

Further nosing around, we came across the construction area for The Loft + The Limegrove Cinemas [really excited and can't wait till it opens] then there was the GLO spa, The Kartushe Boutique [there's also a South Coast outlet], Vileroy + Boch [for that luxury cutlery], Eye-Q + Kitchen Sync [love the names]. I'll be really interested as to what Kitchen Sync will offer. So, upstairs we were and the view of the water wall was pretty much superb, we took a seat on the curvaceous minimal bench and soaked it all up. What a posh experience! But we were not done. 

 Two main elite fashion stores had to get the once-over, starting with Armani A|X. Grey and Black hues greeted us when we entered, I headed straight for the denim section, top quality apparell and tshirts with prices not unlike top Bajan Botutiques. Around $80 BDS Duty-Free for a tshirt, $175 for a jeans and such. The lady section was exquisite to say the least. Onto Ralph Lauren, the grandest store of the directory so far. Really spacious and bright, my first impression was. The prices were as fair as I expected, even though I saw a pair of brown loafers for 1700.00 BDS Duty-paid. I especially loved the seats and coffee table [which gave for a lounge-y shopping time] and how the cashier desk was tucked away/recessed into the centre. The staff was all smiles in their branded work outfits.
I would say about 60 percent of the stores were open [the Greek restaurant OPA was making equipment arrangement during our visit] and I imagine this Lifestyle Centre will be a welcome shopping and hanging out experience when fully opened later this year.
