Hi 👋🏾 as promised, I am starting a Travel Se Hi 👋🏾 as promised, I am starting a Travel Series with the city I get the most questions about Paris 🇫🇷There is ALOT to do here & today’s post is an intro to other detailed reels coming(where to stay, where to shop, etc 

Don’t forget to LIKE, SAVE & SHARE. If you’ve ever been to Paris, don’t hold back. Share your tips below 👇🏾 
5 THINGS TO DO 
-Make reservations to a restaurant with a view. It’s a great way to see the city.
-Go to museum or 2! There are lots of museum options in Paris, Lourve, Musee d’Orsay are 2 of my faves. Fashion lovers there are also museums for you like La Galerie Dior.
-Go shopping! You can save up to 30% off on luxury brands (dedicating a reel to this topic) & vintage shop too!
- Visit outside of Paris (even if it’s for half a day)
Versailles is just about 45mins away.
-Visit Disneyland Paris!
Especially if you’re traveling with your littles, it’s worth the train ride (more travel tips with kids 🔜)

 It’s the month of love and no where screams ❤️ ( perfectly marketed anyways) love like Paris 
IMO, Paris isn’t just for lovers, it’s for art lovers, history buffs, foodies, shoppers & more! 

Story time:
My love for Paris started in college the semester I took a western civilization class. So in the year 2006 about 2+ years after we started dating I mentioned to @fotosbyfola that I planned on visiting London & Paris in the fall. He had never been to either of the countries so he said sure why not!

We purchased our tickets & planned to spend 2 nites in Paris (cos that’s what we could afford 😀) & we spent the rest of our week long trip in London at my sister’s.

We took the Eurostar to Paris & stayed at Hotel de Flore (our room was so tiny😂) We spent our money on museums vists, tourist attractions & lots of croissants. We got lost a few times, ran into communication issues with locals (no app translating apps back then) froze our asses off cos November but honestly I left with my heart FULL. 

Maybe that’s why I keep coming back here 🤷🏾‍♀️ Our travel adventure started here over 16yrs ago😊 Stay tuned for a new Travel Series starting tmrw.

The most underused service when you book a 4 or 5 The most underused service when you book a 4 or 5 star ⭐️ Hotel/Resort is concierge service. 
All the tips listed are accessible via concierge and you DON’T have to pay extra for some of the services. Worth reading 👇🏾

-Airport Concierge Service
(Someone meeting you at your arrival gate) I have used this service a few times and let’s just say it’s a game changer! No more lifting baggages, faster passport control, no getting lost in a new airport.
-Prebook your Airport ride
This ensures a swift departure from the airport. You don’t have to walk about waiting on rideshare or sometimes sketchy taxi stands.
-Use Hotel Concierge to book taxis vs rideshare.
As much as I like rideshare service & it’s flexibility I have had quite a few bad experiences from drivers taking longer route to straight up scary situations. Taxis are vetted & oftentimes work with hotel to ensure you have a pleasant experience.
-Let your Hotel know in advance that you’re there to celebrate a special occasion. Room upgrades, champagne, etc for FREE are some of what you’re missing out on!
-Let Concierge handle dinner reservations, arrange excursions & score tickets to shows in town. Same as above, send an email in advance.

Lessons from the last 365 days

Reflecting on the last 365 as I turn a year older today is a tradition I hope to continue as long as I run my blog. Thank you so much for stopping by and if you read last’s year’s post I hope this year doesn’t disappoint you. In a nutshell, 2018 has been a “year of growth” for me. I experienced so many highs in my personal life and business but there were so many lows. From canceled magazine feature to relationships that changed that still hurts to getting to work for brands that I was on my vision board to putting in time and effort to repair broken relationships, it was quite a year. To round it up, I am sharing 7 lessons that I hope resonates in some way with you.

True Decadence Petite Premium Layered Tulle Cami Midi Dress

Never give up on people, (Give Grace)

I am not sure why I chose to start with this (maybe partly because it’s a struggle for me) One thing I learned about myself this year is that I tend to be stringy when it comes to this. I’ll be frank, as I type this I have given up on a few people in my life. Don’t be like me, try a little harder even when you have all the reasons in the world not to. Part of growth for me means extending grace (undeserved merit) after all there are so many people I have wronged who chose not to write me off. I am definitely not advocating being a doormat either.

titi's passion

I linked everything I am wearing in my photos below.

 

TITI'S PASSION

Be a believer-self believer

As someone who tends to overanalyze too often, being my own ultimate cheerleader has been an issue for me. It took me a while to find my voice and even after I did, believing it day in and out is so hard on some days. No amount of positive reinforcement/feedback from others (so thankful for amazing friends and family) will ever take the place of you believing in yourself first. It comes especially handy when others doubt you. While I don’t have that part all squared out,  the word of God and positive affirmations have helped a ton.

TULLE

FASHION BLOGGER

Forgive yourself for your past mistakes

I tend to be super hard on myself and hold on to my mistakes thinking it actually helps me. Part of living is making mistakes and learning to accept that is also part of the package. I am thankful for the word of God which helps me with this.

 BAUBLEBAR EARRINGS

You can’t be everything to everyone and that’s okay

This year, I have learned that I can’t be everything to everyone. I can’t be there all the time and it doesn’t make me a bad person. I am purely talking about friendships here. I can’t be the counselor, money advisor, defender, etc. I can absolutely pick and choose and be great at being my best self in other people’s lives. Trying to fit into shoes that don’t fit only brings issues in the long run. There are different kinds of friendships and I recognize that in the people in my life too.

I am enough…I don’t have to change who I am

I used to think I had to change who I was to become the kind of blogger I wanted to be. I thought to be successful I needed to be super outgoing, I had to dress a little edgier, the list goes on! I now know that while all that is well and good, BEING MYSELF will be the single most important thing that will propel me. Being me means not being afraid to try new things, educating myself more about my craft, seeking help while still being true to who I am. Our power lies in our individuality, so embrace that.

honest post

Do away with ENVY

There are certain words that sometimes sound yucky to talk about e.g. envy, jealousy, the list goes on. One thing I’ll admit that I struggled with this year is envy. It took me a while to acknowledge this but since I realized it was an issue. I have actively worked on correcting it. Instead of counting other people’s blessings and thinking I have none, I am not only being more grateful for all that I have (keeping a Gratitude journal) but also acknowledge what I see in others that I desire. I compliment, compliment and compliment some more. It’s amazing how that one simple act when done genuinely (no faking issh) changed my perspective.

bermuda

Rejection is perfectly okay

I used to be so scared of getting rejected and I realized how much I was limiting myself because of this. Rejection is part of growth, so embrace it in the coming year.

If you had asked me why I do what I do, I would have come up with a bunch of reasons but I am glad that over the last year one simple word that describes what my mission is HELP. By sharing what I know and what I am acquiring along the way, ultimately I want to create content that is helpful and useful and oh create products too! Thank you so much for reading!

    Great post Titi! I echo the sentiments of others that you have done very well this year. Where you were last year till now-amazing to see. I hope this yearly reflection post becomes a tradition for your blog-I love it! “I am enough” resonated so much for me. It is a constant reminder. Thanks for being so candid, putting yourself out there and vulnerable at the same time. Don’t worry creating products is definitely in your future and we will be there to support you. God’s best in the New Year.

    One trend I keep seeing in people’s 2018 reflections is that the year was marked with high-highs and low-lows. That’s how I feel about my 2018 too. The dreams I’ve dreamt my entire adolescence came to pass only for me to learn it was never my dream, to begin with.

(See my stories for the original video)

They were clearly having an argument about something & I wasn’t trying to be a part of their drama but my coverup decided to betray me at that very moment 🤦🏾‍♀️😂
I never share bloopers cos half the time it happens when the camera isn’t on but this was so hilarious I had to share 🤣 

Do share with someone who could use a laugh 😆 
Y’all still go see the pigs though when in Abaco. It’s something fun to do here😀
