AD | One thing that has always gotten my son hyped AD | One thing that has always gotten my son hyped is a new book! So I was excited to share with him, and also let you guys know, that the mega-best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by @RickRiordan is now in paperback with stunning new cover art by award-winning illustrator Victo Ngai.
 
As school is wrapping up in a matter of weeks-not-months for us, I am glad he can dive into this 5-book series from @readriordan. It is recommended for ages 10 and up, and you know it has to be good because it has sold more than millions of copies and has appeared on the New York Times bestseller list for over 10 years.
 
Whether you are new to Percy or a longtime fan, this gorgeous paperback set is a must-have for your library. We are excited about adding the complete series to ours!

Hey fam, May is #mentalhealthawareness month & I wanted to remind you that prioritizing your mental health is very important.

It is a great time to check-in with yourself, give yourself grace & take time off (insert what that thing is for you.) Take it from someone who has had her fair share of lows. Open up to someone you feel safe with and seek professional help if you need to, there are so many resources available online including subsidized counseling.

There is no shame in seeking help cos tbh Adulting is hard. I repeat No shame. My faith in God has been a big part of my healing journey & I am in therapy and have been for a while now. It honestly has been the best decision I ever made for myself. 

Lastly, do check in on your strong friends, the ones that always seem to have it all together & are always there for everyone.

Fashion is great, traveling is amazing but taking care of yourself from the inside is more important. Sending you ❤️P.S. For my friends in RL, I am fine just wanted to share this.

Discover Los Angeles: 5 things you might not know about Los Angeles

This post was sponsored by Los Angeles Tourism.  All opinions expressed in the post are my own and not those of Los Angeles Tourism. 

Happy International Women’s Day ladies! Fun fact: March is Women’s History Month in the US and this month is dedicated to reflect on the often-overlooked contributions of women to United States history. I was so thrilled to be a part of the Women Celebrated Press Trip to Los Angeles which took place recently (Feb 28-March 3) and today’s post highlights my take away from this travel put together by  Los Angeles Tourism.If you haven’t done so already, head to my Instagram page and check out my LA HIGHLIGHTS.

Titi's Passion travels

1. Unique Hotels

We stayed in one, the newly opened The Hoxton, Downtown LA hotel during this trip. The Hoxton DTLA is part of the Hoxton hotel brand which is based in London, United Kingdom and has outposts in London’s Shoreditch and Holborn, Amsterdam, Paris, Williamsburg and Portland. The Hoxton, Downtown LA is the perfect blend of everything I seek for in a hotel these days, unique character, great service, easy check-in/out process and an on-sight restaurant.

The Hoxton hotel

Dress, shoes & bag

Their rooftop bar called Pilot & the pool were just an added bonus! Ask for the Honeybear on Holiday drink at Pilot and get a pie (brownie is my fav) for dessert at Sibling Rival a spot that is perfect day or night.

2. Los Angeles was at the forefront of women’s right/history in the US

During the Women Who Shaped  L.A. DTLA Walking Tour by Downtown LA Walking Tours, I found out about the history of LA  and one of the highlights was knowing that Los Angeles was one of the first states in the US where women were allowed to own property. I heard about the name Biddy Mason, also known as “Aunt Biddy or Grandma Mason” a former slave who later became a Californian real estate entrepreneur and philanthropist. She is also the founder of the First African Methodist Episcopal Church in Los Angeles, California.DTLA

Jeans, Top, bag, shoes, sunglasses

From fashion, real estate, theatre and more, women made a mark in the history of LA. United Artists theatre which still stands was co-founded by Mary Pickford, one of the most powerful and popular actresses of the 1910s and 1920s.

3. The food scene 

One thing I absolutely love about Downtown LosAngeles (DTLA) is that it is a melting pot of different cultures. We had a chance to visit Grand Central Market where I had one the best Avocado Toast of my life at Clark Street Bread (no lie!) It is a must visit when in LA, if you are craving fresh delicious food (from different parts of the world) at pocket friendly prices.

4. ROW DTLA/ Smorgasburg

I was super excited that we got a chance to visit Smorgasburg LA a must visit if you’re a foodie like me. Smorgasburg is part of the new development called ROW DTLA and a place to find dozens of food vendors, crafts, vintage, wellness and more. It operates every Sunday. We got to chat with a number of female-owned food vendors. Enjoyed shaved ice from Chichi Dango.

I got to try Candle making at Maker’s Mess which is located in ROW DTLA.

5. LACMA has more to offer beyond Urban Light Sculpture

I have always wanted to visit LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art) so I was excited it was part of our tour. The Urban Light Sculptures is as beautiful as I imagined. During our tour of LACMA, I learned about Luchita Hurtado a painter from Venezuela who now calls California home. Her work that spans over 5 decades is currently on display.

Los Angeles Tourism

There is so much I didn’t know about Los Angeles beyond Hollywood and Disney and I am so glad I got to Discover Los Angeles through a new lens. Discover Los Angeles is a great place to look for unique things to do when in LA. Thank you to the Los Angeles Tourism board for a trip highlighting influential locals and their female-led businesses. Don’t forget to check my HIGHLIGHTS for more. Let’s keep celebrating Women’s History beyond March!
