Hey! Waah gwaan? I’m Monique Solomon, the writer behind IrieDiva, a lifestyle blog. I write about fashion, natural hair, skincare and beauty products, good eats, health and wellness, being a mommy, a bit of travel and Jamaican culture.
I’m now in my 30s and pursuing my passion for blogging fulltime. On this blog, I seek to empower other women to live their best lives, while looking fabulous to boot! I also love my island country and highlight the best of what we have to offer as much as I can. This includes the food, the beaches, the attractions, the accommodations, our music and culture overall.
