S: Who is Kandi?K: Kandi is hmm... per-sonality wise, a jumble of every emotion. I’m silly, I’m serious, I have my ups and downs, I get excited over stupid things. For the most part though, I’m a pretty humble kid known to most as being super sarcastic.

S: What’s a typical day like for you?

K: A typical day starts at 7 a.m., though I frequent the snooze button there-after. Once I’m up, I eat breakfast and get ready for work. I’m Operations Manager for Sandal’s Media Department so my work day is a normal 9 to 5. Once I’m home, I have to work out! After that I usually change into my Wonderwoman outfit and save the world. Kid-ding, food and bed post workout.

S: How would you de-scribe yourself in three words?K: Charismatic, sarcastic and resilient.

S: Are you an optimist, pessimist, opportunist or realist?K: Definitely a realist! Ex-pect the worst, but hope for the best.

S: Role models...do you have any?K: Lisa Hanna. She has beauty and brains; a testament to how smart and stunning Jamaican women are.

S: What’s your favourite part of your body?K: My stomach. I’m big on fitness so all the exer-cising I do seem to keep it looking passable.

S: What makes you feel sexy?K: There are a bunch of different things that can make me feel sexy: thoughts, being in shape, certain things I wear, my mood, even music.

S: Do you feel sexier now that you’ve done a SLEEK photo shoot?K: Lol! Maybe just a smidge.

S: Men, shoes or cars?K: Shoes, shoes, any day!

5

S: If you were a car, what kind would you be? Why?K: Wow. Definitely not big on cars, but if it reflects my shopping habit…umm...name one that’s pretty on the outside, too expensive and not of much use in eve-ryday life.

S: What gets you annoyed?K: Since annoyances are ubiquitous, I don’t know how to narrow that list so it fits on the SLEEK page. To name a few: traffic, car alarms, flight delays, junk mail, people who cut in line, people who play music from their phones loudly in a public space...I could go on for days.

S: What’s love?K: Complex and powerful.

S: Have you ever been in love?K: Yes.

S: Are you the jealous type?K: Lol. Yes.

S: What’s the funniest pickup line that’s been used on you?K: I can’t think of any ‘funny’ pickup lines ever used on me.

S: How about the corniest?K: “Kandi, u sweet eeh!” The Kandi-Sweet thing is so played out!

S: How do you shut down an undesirable man that approaches?K: Dropping subtle hints!

S: What’s your greatest fear?K: Animals and little critters! I am not an animal lover.

I hate dogs, cats, cock-roaches, lizards...just about anything that moves that’s not human. They’re so un-predictable, I can’t stand it.

S: What’s your favourite alcoholic drink?K: Surprisingly, I have no favourite alcoholic drink. In fact, I recently stopped drinking. Trying to make healthier choices plus I’ve never really liked the taste.

S: SPF, ATI or Dream?K: SPF! Definitely did my time down in Negril though.

S: Is it ever okay to lie? Why/Why not?K: Hmm…I can’t say that it is ever a good thing to lie but sometimes, it might be necessary - even if it is by omission. No one tells the truth 100% of the time. No one’s per-fect!

S:

What’s the crazi-est rumour you’ve heard about yourself?K: Don’t know if I’ve ever heard any ‘crazy’ rumours about myself but the rumours about ‘who I’m dating’ are usually hilarious.

WHAT DOES HIS BB SAY ABOUT HIM?

BBMERS BEWARE

I can still ignore you even though you’ve sent a PING or two, or three.

Why do you change your pic so often (every 5 minutes)? So UNECESSARY!

Oh that’s you in you in the pic? ‘I have trust issues’ with a silhouette of Drake? Drop the darn meme!

When since the word unavailable means ping me and see wats pop-pinggg?!

Nothing’s up JODY TUN UP TUN UP Q-T PIEe, and I’m just here chilling CALI-SWAGGG KiNG Mr RUDIE BAMAS FA LYPHE. Just please use your own name or something at least slightly similar to it.

BROADCASTS should be kept to a minimum (or feel free to cut it out totally). You don’t need to tell me (and your other 246 con-tacts) good morning every day. After your broadcast what’s left to be good about it?

I deleted you once, I won’t add you twice. Take a hike! No harsh feelings when I deleted yuh either, it’s all in the game.

No thanks. I don’t want to send you any naked pics or I don’t want any of your naked pics.

Ladies, you can tell a lot about a man from what kind of phone he’s rolling with. PING!!! of advice males, you better step up your BB game before asking for the PIN and before they read this. What kind of BlackBerry do you have? Who are they really ladies? Read on...

BLACKBERRY CURVE - Early 20s. Still at home or university. Wants to live young, wild and free (heck, the song might even

be his ringtone).

BLACKBERRY TORCH or a BlackBerry in any colour other than black - Mid 20s, in the retail or the creative industry. A outgoing and vibrant socialite. Currently developing proper decision making skills.

BLACKBERRY BOLD – Mid to late 20s working man near that transitional stage in his life from boyhood to manhood. Possibly renting or working to that mortgage and settling down. In his mind, he’s on his way to shaping his life the way he wants it to be.

FEED THAT

HANGOVERYep, you done did it again. Too many drinks and now you’ve got one hell of a hangover. What should you do? Or what should you have done differently?Luckily, you have SLEEK’s help. We’ll give you some proper drinking tips some other time.

FIRSTLY, WHAT’S A HANGOVER

It’s a condition caused by the excessive intake of alcohol. Its symptoms can range from a splitting headache and a queasy stomach to dry mouth, dizziness, and even depression. You’ll feel sick, nauseous, drained of energy, and light headed.Any food/liquid will serve to replenish nutrients and rehydrate you, especially if you happened to throw up. Here are some foods that will help bring you over a hangover in a hurry.

8

FIRST, WATER. That light headed feeling can be relieved by keeping well hydrated (excessive drinking causes dehydration). In addition to drinking water along with or between your alcoholic beverages, be sure to drink a glass of water or two as soon as you get up. An electrolyte replenishing sports drink will help also.

GO BANANAS!Eating bananas the morning after can help replace potassium and other lost

electrolytes. Blend a banana into a smoothie if your stomach is not up for

solid foods.

?

EGG + WHOLE WHEAT TOAST

Combat the hangover fatigue by eating a light breakfast. The com-bination of protein and carbohydrates in an egg and toast is a good source of recovery nutrients and is easy on the stomach. In addition, eggs contain an amino acid that breaks down the toxins that cause hangover symptoms.

HERBSTry an herbal approach for the relief you long for. Try some milk thistle oil or chew-ing fennel seeds. Herbal teas can help with rehydration, especially peppermint tea, that’ll soothe your tummy.

GREASY FOODS

Eating greasy, high-fat foods before chugging alcohol can reduce your risk of a hangover. A healthier approach is to eat foods high in healthy fats such as olive oil, salmon, or avocados.

THE 6 COMMANDMENTSHOW NOT TO GET ARRESTED DURING NEGRIL WEEKEND

The coastal town of Negril, plus a lot of people all having fun in the same place, plus alcohol, plus car horns, plus traffic, equals cops. The best way to

avoid the police is to not break the law in the first place. However, if you do so unwillingly or you just can’t help it, stick to these commandments to avoid get-ting arrested if you’re stopped by the coppers.

1Don’t be confrontational or disrespectful with a policeman, even if they’re being so. The simple difference between annoying another person and annoying a cop is a ride in the back of a blue and white Corolla. Remember, cops are human, a long shift plus your disrespectful attitude can result in you going to jail for something relatively minor.

THOU SHALL NOT FAIL THE ATTITUDE TEST.

2Most of the people who get arrested for this are those who were trying to talk their way out of getting a ticket or citation. The lying to a police officer is almost always a more serious offense than the one you are trying to avoid.

DO NOT LIE!

3Many people run from the cops because of minor stuff that probably would have resulted in only a ticket. Mind you, this is also a great way to get you seriously injured.

THOU SHOULD NOT RUN.

4If a policeman asks you to sign a ticket or citation, he’s not asking you to admit guilt. He’s just to asking you to sign. You can always fight the charge in court. Look at it this way, if you don’t sign it, he can still haul you in the back of the car after refusing to sign for a minor offense (See Commandment No. 1).

DO NOT REFUSE TO SIGN.

5A policeman stops someone for speeding, in a search he might find whatever contraband you’re in possession of. The cop can’t know what’s in the car if he doesn’t have a reason to stop you. Your burnout skills should stay in the video game. Slow down and cut the swerving.

THOU SHALL NOT DRIVE LIKE AN IDIOT.

9

6If a policeman is questioning your friend or relative and asks you to step aside, then do so. If you start to approach the cop, smart-mouth the cop, or even go as far as to touch the cop, you’ll be viewed as confrontational and possibly violent, and treated as such.

DO NOT INTERFERE WITH A COP DETAINING ANOTHER PERSON.

*BONUS COMMANDMENT. BE SAFE DURING NEGRIL WEEKEND.Remember...have fun, but not too much.

HOW TO AVOID HOOKING UP WITH YOUR EX IN NEGRIL

1. Bring a date to the event when you know you’ll see him/her. Nothing blocks an EX better than them seeing you with another person. Bonus points for bring-ing someone certified SLEEK.

2. Remind yourself why they’re your EX. We sometimes tend to remember only the good things, but try to recall all those horrible, embarrassing moments.

3. Tell yourself you’re too good to be looking backwards. A hook-up with an EX is a move in a negative direction. You’re all about progress, positive changes, and new beginnings.

4. Don’t drink so much, your head might get a bit more clouded than you’d want it to be.

5. Practice saying “NO!” Maybe you’ve never told him/her “NO!” before, and you may think you don’t know how. But you do. Imagine it in your head or say it aloud and think about how good it will feel to be in control of the situation.

6. Get busy with something or someone else. Busy meaning you can find a dance partner for the night that will make your EX less tempted to make an advance.

WAYS TO GET AWAY FROM HUSSY/WIFEY IN NEGRIL

1. Summer Swing to the left and get lost in the crowd.

2. ‘Search’ for your ‘lost’ phone that you left ‘intentionally’ in the car.

3. Switch your white top for a black one during the party so you’re not recognisable from afar.

4. Tell him/her ‘correct wrong’ directions to the furthest bar when they ask where you are.

5. Have a dead battery that they swear they saw being charged earlier at the hotel.
