Can U Put Me On Guestlist?

Welcome back to Can U Put Me On Guestlist?! Chelina Manuhutu is this week’s guest and what a fun episode it was to record! When I asked Chelina to come on to the show she said “why don’t we record it at the beach?!”. At first I didn’t know how I felt about taking all my equipment down but we did in the end and wow, it was so amazing! We sat on a rock at Sa Caleta in Ibiza, the sun was shining and we just had a real good catch up and a laugh and chatted about a variety of things, from music to baking, putting people on guestlist and more!   Find Chelina on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chelinamanuhutu/
