One guard actually asked me how they allowed me into the palace with a dress like this 😐😆 

Versailles should be on your itinerary if you’re ever in Paris. This city is known for Chateau de Versailles! 
Think Louis XIII, Queen Mary Antoinette, Hall of Mirrors & more. My family & I had a great time exploring.

Things to note before your visit:
-Versailles is a 30min taxi ride from Paris (you can easily spend a day here & explore beyond the Palace.
-Purchase your ticket in advance to avoid sellouts.
-You will need an audio guide (available there) except you can read/speak French. (Everything is written in French)
-Visit early in the day (less crowds)
-It’s a huge Palace including the must see gardens, so wear comfortable shoes.

#Ad21+ They say to Travel is to live and I couldn’t agree more. On my recent trip to France, I ended a day of exploring the beautiful town of Menton with a favorite summer cocktail, the Grand Margarita, an elevated twist on an American classic drink made with @grandmarnierusa Cordon Rouge. 

This easy recipe is the cocktail to celebrate the rest of summer. Now, who is ready to try it? Don’t forget to save the recipe and share with a friend. Head to IG stories for a step-by-step video. 
.75 part of Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge
1.5 parts of Espolon Reposado
.75 parts of Fresh Lime Juice
.25 parts of Agave Nectar
Garnish:  Lime Wheel. Salt Optional

Combine ingredients in a shaker tin, add ice, and shake. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice and garnish with a lime wheel. #drinkresponsibly #GrandEncounter #GrandMarnier

If you’re already in the South of France (see my If you’re already in the South of France (see my last reel) why not cross off it’s next door neighbor Monaco 🇲🇨 

Monaco is its own country (not part of France) with a Prince and everything. Boarded by France and Italy. It has a lot of offer beyond Formula 1.
I absolutely loved spending time & will be sharing a reel on everything I did in one day. 

How to do Monaco on a budget
-You can visit Monaco for a day. (It’s the 2nd smallest country in the world) My advice plan ahead to make the most of your day.
-Stay in the South of France (It’s a 30mins drive from Nice & even closer from Menton) 
-You don’t need a helicopter 🚁 ride, you can drive, take a taxi or take the train. 
-Use a taxi to get around or rent a car (cheaper option & gives you flexibility) 

Things to note
-Rideshare isn’t available around Monaco. 
(You can arrive in one & make arrangements with a driver to pick you up)
-Train service ends early (last train to Nice is around 9pm)
-In peak season, it is sometime hard to find a taxi.
-Get a hotel beach pass 
-Lots of parking decks & affordable parking available.
-It’s all about the views here so make a reservation with a restaurant with a view.

Motherhood: Three things no one ever told me about being a mom

Hi, how are you doing? Just in time for Mother’s Day in the US, I wanted to share a personal post on Motherhood and the things no one ever told me about. You can see my past personal posts HERE. Motherhood is a beautiful thing but in my 9+ years experience of being a mother to now, 2 children it has come with its fair share of challenges and I would be lying if I said it has only been happy moments. Keep reading to see 3 things no one ever told me about being a mom.

Motherhood: Three things no one ever told me about being a mom

Motherhood truth: Mum guilt is real

atlanta blogger

I never really heard about it or maybe I just wasn’t paying attention when my friends who were moms shared their tales.

Bottom line, that issh is real yo! like real real LOL.

I laugh now typing this but I have so many moments sometimes on a daily basis that I felt that “I am not enough and I am not doing enough and I’ll never be enough.” Which honestly is the truth and the earlier I embrace that the easier this life journey of being a mom will be easier. I can’t do everything and that’s fine. It’s hard work! You can’t either and who can (side eye to all those moms that go about acting like they got this whole thing figured out) I am still working to accept it and it definitely isn’t defeat its just reality. It takes a village after all.

mom and daughter

Motherhood truth: You don’t have all the answers

When I got pregnant with my first child, I read every book I could get my hands on from what to expect when expecting to sleep training, etc. I wanted to be as equipped as possible. Lies, lies, lies LOL.

Asking questions doesn’t make you any less of a mother, it just makes you a better one.

You can never be fully prepared on your own, you just don’t know it all and the sooner you seek help and ask questions and lean in and accept help and make good use of your support system the easier this journey of motherhood will be. From your partner, family, friends, doctors, teachers, etc.

Motherhood truth: You won’t be the same person afterwards

atlanta mommy blogger

From your body to how you think and how you feel, motherhood changes all of that so brace yourself! I am not the same person I used to be 9 years ago and initially, it was difficult to embrace all the new changes. From my body (don’t get me started on that LOL cos I struggled) to how I just viewed life differently. Anxiety, postpartum, the list goes on. Marriage made a difference in who I am today but nothing quite changes your life like the gift of being able to carry and birth life.

My best advice here is to embrace the new but don’t lose yourself.

It took me a while to find some balance but you will be doing yourself a great disservice if you don’t at least try.

Atlanta fashion blogger

Ending this post with a message to all the mommy shammers (I have been guilty of the same thing) please be kind cos you honestly don’t know what that mom has been through. To those who aren’t quite in that phase of life yet or not sure, (kids are expensive LOL) so enjoy life but note that children are blessings and nothing will change you and soften you and make you a better human period. My last message is for those hoping and praying for this, don’t put life on hold while you wait for your miracle.
