La Bella Travel Guide : Panama

My personal pics from Panama


The woman who made the first Panamanian Flag

The beautiful Panamanian Flag
This building is a big deal in Panama they aren't use to this
 Panama, officially the Republic of Panama, is the southernmost country of Central America. Situated on the isthmus connecting North and South America, it is bordered by Costa Rica to the northwest, Colombia to the southeast, the Caribbean Sea to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south. The capital is Panama City. Explored and settled by the Spanish in the 16th century, Panama broke with Spain in 1821. With US backing, Panama seceded from Colombia in 1903. The Panama Canal was built by the US Army Corps of Engineers between 1904 and 1914. In 1977, an agreement was signed for the complete transfer of the Canal from the US to Panama by the end of the century. Panama has the third or fourth largest economy in Central America and it is also the fastest growing economy and the largest per capita consumer in Central America. In 2010 Panama ranked 4th among Latin American countries in terms of the Human Development Index, and 54th in the world in 2010. Panama has the largest rainforest in the Western Hemisphere outside the Amazon Basin and its jungle is home to an abundance of tropical plants, animals and birds - some of them to be found nowhere else in the world. 
Had to give a brief history lesson now on to the fun stuff lmao. In addition to the GREAT food Spanish and Jamaican they have a very poppin night life and great resorts. The only downside for you non- Spanish speakers hardly anyone speaks English other than that they are building up Panama City. Very nice malls and more clothing options they are getting there lol. The weather is phenomenal. Panama is dollar for dollar so you don't have to worry about exchanging your money. The people of Panama are beautiful !!! Beautiful Men and Beautiful Women. So check out the rest of my pics.

All Black Everything

Michele "Urban" Mini Diamond Noir Watch 




My baby lol



Anyone that is familiar with me knows I love watches. I love them almost as much as I love jeans (still my number 1 fav). This is the most recent addition to my collection a Bday gift to myself. I also own another Michelle in this same style but it is silver both watches have diamonds (in case you didn't know so lol yes that was a lil shade lmao).  They also sell another strap w/black diamonds for $600. One thing to remember about Michele watches it that each piece is sold separately. Here is the product information :

Go Go Gadget Flow

Nook Color

pic is from barnesandnoble.com

This is my case 

Here is my baby lol


Right before my bday all I could talk about was this Nook, I wanted a tablet so bad and I was debating on either getting a Nook or Kindle. Now while the Kindle has 3G + Wifi the Nook blew it out of the water because it came in color. The Nook has wifi but no 3g (who wants to read a magazine in black and white?) lol . So the Nook became my baby, I LOVE it and I highly recommend it to anyone that loves to read and travels frequently. It is smaller than a ipad so it fit's right in your purse. I get my Cosmo Magazine every month for $1.99 oppose to the $3.99 in supermarket that I used to pay (hey times are hard). You can search the web, check emails, and facebook.  I bought my case from Barnes & Noble in store for $55 but you can also order it online. I just checked the recently added more applications that you can download. Now you can get the Angry Birds app so you guys know I'm hyped :op #dontjudgeme bwahahaha. Here are just a few features the Nook Color offers :



Stunning 7-inch color touchscreen
Enhanced books, magazines, newspapers & interactive kids books
Over 2 million titles at your fingertips
NEW! Popular apps, games, music & more
NEW! Full featured email & fun social features
NEW! Enhanced web with video


If you decide to purchase I hope you enjoy your Nook as much as I enjoy mine.

I first time I saw Sue Tsai designs was on my home girl Been Labella website last year. After that I started following her on twitter then surprisingly about a month ago my BF decided to purchase bracelets as a gift ( good thing because I never mentioned it so it makes it even better ). I LOVE my gift ! She has dope designs for male and female and with mothers day approaching shortly this would be the perfect gift.

Can Conversation Be Sexy ?

I find this to be VERY true, I was having a conversation the other day with a male friend and he said people just don't converse anymore. I love a good conversation about anything mind blowing and interesting which we can agree to disagree etc etc. I believe you can learn a lot about people by just talking to them and listening to their views on different subjects. I find good conversation erotic and that is the best way to flirt with me. When a man has me mentally he has all of me. Even if I love my partner if he no longer holds me mentally I become distant (then it is the beginning to of the end). I believe your mentality controls your heart when your heart decides to listen. I always wondered when did you know that you actually fell in love with someone ? or did your mind (after all the happy moments) say yes I can see myself loving this person. The more you think about it the more it can become true (mind over matter). I will encourage more great conversation that is the way to get me to do whatever entice me , smile, laugh. All qualities I love when having good RESPECTFUL conversation. My advice if your dating a so called PRUDE (lol) then try some sexy conversation I promise you, you will get WHATEVER you like. Think about it take a second. #Ibeknowin

Btw Fab had it right you should worry when she don't ask or let things go to easy , but then again you guys won't notice that until she is gone because you are you "busy" doing you. Food for thought. Have a great and blessed Saturday.



Ciao,

Another Notch Under My Belt


Today I was talking to my homegirl and she suggested that since I have a lifestyle blog I should blog more about my life, what I've been working on, and doing. With that being said I decided to write about me surfing because that was one of the things I have always wanted to do and last year for my bday my boo made it possible. This pic is taken by the company I got the lessons from. This is actually my first time standing on the board. I'm that ISH !!! lol because on my first time after practicing on land I got it right and I didn't even fall (please notice the dry hair thanks in my pj voice). Anyway it was one of the most liberating experiences of my life. I had so much fun. I am an expert swimmer I swam competitively from age 5 -18 and I loved every minute of it. Actually think I might start swimming again it is great exercise. The instructor was very nice and I had a blast. I recommend going surfing to anyone that loves the water. I will be doing it again. So cheers to one notch off my bucket list, I hope you guys are scratching things off you always wanted to do. Live, Laugh, Love.


* The pic was taken in Hawaii in case you didn't know so jajajajaja *
