Welcome Back, Bae!
The bands are launching, the deposits have been paid, and the kiddos are back in school. Time to get these bodies ready because Crucian Christmas Festival will be here before we know it.
“Dancers to the front!”
Check out my Pretty Mas Playlist for the proper vibes to take us into the season.
When is Crucian Christmas Festival?
Here in St. Croix, we celebrate our Festival during the Christmas holidays through Three Kings Day. It begins with the Festival Prince and Princess pageant and concludes with the Adults' Parade and Festival Village. I can’t wait to see this year’s Village line up! Last Festival we were delighted with incredible performances by Adam O, Kes The Band, Voice, Patrice Roberts, Nailah Blackman, Maxi Priest, Christopher Martin, and so many more.
This year’s Festival will be held on December 10th through January 6th, 2024.

I am a Hot Gyal. I don’t believe in going on crash diets or unsustainable workout plans to meet any specific goal. I practice my Hot Gyal Self-Care all year long. That being said, the summertime is when I tend to relax my self-care routine. I’m on break from dance, so I’m not working out regularly. The Crucian sun does not play, so I usually take a pause on facials, lasers, and peels; and my hair’s been tucked up in a protective style for the last six weeks.
Now that the summer is winding down, we have just under five months to go before we cross the bandstand. It’s time to start getting back into our routines so that we can look and feel our best. I’m gonna bring you all along while I dive-in to all the Hot Gyal Self-Care must dos. We’re gonna spend some time talking about achieving the best skin possible, getting our smiles camera ready, making sure we got plenty of oil in our waists, and just about everything you’ll need for a Cocoa Bae Crucian Christmas Festival.
Stay tuned for the entire Crucian Christmas Festival Prep Series!
Join me as I get ready for the road.
