Selfie by Markette Sheppard (Facebook and Instagram).<\/p>\n

I was so pleased to be on Great Day Washington on WUSA 9<\/a> (CBS Affiliate) with Markette Sheppard to share some quick tidbits about ways you can celebrate Caribbean American Heritage Month at home! My cousin and I went shopping for the perfect snacks to include in the segment<\/a>. You know we had to taste test them. See anything you recognize?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You’ve got:<\/p>\n

Coconut Water<\/p>\n

Red and Cream Soda Solo (in glass of course)<\/p>\n

Ting<\/p>\n

Milo<\/p>\n

Chubby<\/p>\n

Peardrax<\/p>\n

Red Plum<\/p>\n

Fried Channa<\/p>\n

Pommecythere<\/p>\n

Toolum<\/p>\n

Kurma<\/p>\n

Jub Jub Candy<\/p>\n

Crix<\/p>\n

Guava jam<\/p>\n

Ovaltine biscuits<\/p>\n

Mango<\/p>\n

Papaya<\/p>\n

Coconut<\/p>\n

Did we have any of your favorites?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We also had a DIY Caribbean Carnival headpiece that Markette tried on<\/a>. The real costumes are thousands of dollars, so I thought you guys would appreciate one that cost less than 15 bucks! Like I said in the Carnival Headpiece Tutorial<\/a>, hot glue guns aren’t for kids (even if they say “low heat”) so I brought paper versions that you can make with crayons and regular glue or glue sticks.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Everybody loved my Nicole and Madelin<\/a>e skirt! She keeps me looking fabulous, and helped me get the snacks too!<\/p>\n

Eden and Dave came to hang out! They had a blast and even got a chance to try out the green screen over by the weather reporting area. The team over at Great Day Washington was so nice, and extremely helpful. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I didn’t talk about the Anancy Festival or Tabanca Box, but there’ll be video for the Tabanca Box and pics for the Anancy Festival<\/a> very soon. The Anancy Festival<\/a> is on the 26th at 3, and there are still a few (very few) tickets left. Check out the video, and let me know what you think!<\/a><\/p>\n
