Scientific knowledge applied with compassion
Hey Everyone!
I’m fresh off of my trip to London last week and I can’t wait to share some of my pictures with you guys! Please stay tuned this week as I show you some of the great shots I was able to take during my walking tour. Since today is Monday, March 17th, I HAVE to say Happy St. Patrick’s Day! If you’re one of my regular followers, then you already know by now that I’m a very proud Jamaican. What you may not know is that I’m multi-racial and both of my parents are of Irish descent (among other things). In fact, my last name, “Lynch”, is Irish.
My father’s mother, who passed away long before I was born, was a mixture of Irish, Scottish, German and Jewish…with Irish being the more prevalent of the four. I remember my father being very fond of her, and he often told me that I looked like her, which is an honor for me. In an effort to feel closer to my grandmother, I began a tradition of purchasing a different St. Patrick’s Day themed t-shirt every year. I can’t even tell you how long I’ve been doing this, and most people don’t even notice that I’ve done it. Now that I have my wonderful blog, I’m happy to share this part of me with you all!
In past years, I’ve opted to purchase t-shirts that were sold in mainstream stores like Old Navy, Gap and TJ Maxx. This year, I thought it would be fun to do something a little different. After visiting Zazzle, I was able to find a t-shirt that said exactly what I wanted it to say! To be fair, I’m a lot more than just a Jamaican-Irish. I’m just not sure there’s a t-shirt that would fit everything I needed to put on it. LOL!
Here’s my look:
I hope you guys are able to get out and have one or two pints in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day! I definitely plan to enjoy today and will be thinking about my grandmother.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! What are your plans?
Until next time!

Reading (or looking at) all of your looks from the latest til now, one conclusion I have: you master the art of how to rock a hair bun. I’ve got a lot to learn 🙂
