I'm calling all who would to join me on this journey because water is life. See more about the challenge here - 30 Day Water Challenge.  You can jump in at any time.

My Retreat Weekend - Video

The past weekend was our country's independence weekend. I went to a ladies retreat in the countryside at the Nazarene Campsite which is between Castle Bruce and the Kalinago(formerly known as Carib) Territory.

Enjoy the video!

Who Am I? The Face Behind Jennifervalerie.com

Hi everyone,

This is my first vlog (video blog).  I am doing a 30day vlogging challenge via tiffanydow.com. Don't ask me what I'm going to say each day but here goes.  My first one. You'll get to see me in all my glory, a bit nervous but taking the challenge.  No frills just me today. In the future I may add some frills but just so I don't chicken out I did it just as I was.  I think this might tie into making the new Ask Jenn series a vlog instead of just text after this challenge is over - who knows.

Leave your comments and tips below if you have any. They would be greatly appreciated since I'm new to this whole vlogging thing.
