So remember I told you guys that I was headed to Jamaica for the Tropic Isle Living It Starts With Us Retreat? Well I’m back and I had an amazing time. And of course I have to give y’all a full recap. The Tropic Isle Living It Starts With Us Influencer Empowerment Retreat was held August 3rd-6th at the Moon Palace Jamaica in Ocho Rios. Tropic Isle Living invited 25 influencers to beautiful Jamaica to learn more about the brand and to empower our impact on the natural hair & beauty communities. I was honored to be a part of the group.

On day 3 we headed out for a tour of one of the Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor Oil Farms. We learned about how Jamaican Black Castor Oil is produced. From growing the trees, roasting and planting the seeds and producing the oil.

The visit was very educational and we had fun although it was hot as hell lol. It was great to find out how JBCO is produced. Bless the farmers as it is such a tedious task.

My Grandfather passed while I was away. All of the ladies were so supportive which is exactly what I needed when receiving such news while so far away from my family. I was able to find a little peace before I had to go home and deal with the storm.

The Moon Palace Jamaica was beautiful. And the food was on point. The traditional Jamaican breakfast was my favorite meal and I ate a variation of it every chance I got.

  1. Great to see you getting a great opportunity such as this one. What an awesome experience to travel out of the country especially when it’s on someone else’s dime LOL 🙂

  2. Your trip looked so fun. It’s nice to see black influencers get this type of getaway & treatment. I use the red pimento Tropic Isle oil that you reviewed a while back. I’m so sorry about the loss of your grandfather.
