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.

Maldives Travel Guide: What To See, Do & More

If the Maldives is on your bucket list this post is for you! I am breaking down everything and answering most of the questions I received via social. P.S. I have didn’t plan this trip with a travel agent. The Republic of Maldives had been on my bucket list since forever! One thing to know, The Maldives is a combination of different Islands, so unlike other places where you can free to explore around, here you are confined to the private Island where your hotel is located. There is also the option to switch hotels during your stay. I am sure you can venture around the airport city area but we didn’t.

Maldives Travel Guide

Maldives Covid Restrictions

Before I dive in, Covid has changed travel, so I will start with that. Please note I am only sharing covid requirements for travelers flying from the US. We all needed to have a negative covid test result that was taken up to 72hours before arrival on the Island. We had to complete an extensive form (y’all it took us an hour for all 4 of us) which included everything from our passport info, photographs, where we were staying, duration, our vaccine cards(not required), and covid results. The good thing is once this form is completed which can be done 24hours before departure, you get a QR code which you share with the airline and immigration upon arrival and literally breeze through which was a plus. Our resort organized covid tests for our exit off the Island.

Maldives Travel Guide: See, Do, Cost, & Save

Cost

I’ll be honest and say this trip has been the most expensive trip we have taken, like more expensive than flying to Europe for almost a month and hopping between a few countries, lol. This was because we splurged on our accommodation, flight and also visited two additional countries. I am not trying to deter anyone but you will find out why from this post and my next (stay tuned.) Here is the thing to remember, you can visit the Maldives on a decent budget and do a lot!

Flight

There are no direct flights from anywhere in the US to the Maldives, so we took advantage of our time away to visit an additional country and UAE was the natural choice. Dubai is a 4-hour flight from the Maldives. Hubby had a gig in Paris, so we routed our flight from Paris (spent a few days there) to Dubai and then to the Maldives. Visiting multiple countries on a single vacay is a travel-saving tip especially if said countries are on your travel bucket list. We flew Delta from Atlanta to Paris and Emirates from Paris to Dubai and from Dubai to the Maldives. I use google flight to monitor travel fares, (it allows you to play around with dates) but I usually book my flight directly from the airline from their website. I will be sharing more on flights soon!

Accommodation

We were traveling as a family and saving everywhere possible (while splurging LOL) was a priority and I wanted a place that was kid-friendly but at the same time guaranteed fun for adults! That’s how ended up in Anantara Dhigu. Anantara is a 5-star luxury hotel chain with hotels all around the world from Seychelles to Oman. Kids 11 and under stay and eat for free. They have an amazing kids club and it was a 30 min boat ride from the airport. The boat ride was free for 2 people, we paid $200 roundtrip for our kids. We stayed in the Sunset Overwater Pool Suite. It came with a plunge pool, a butler, it was steps from the ocean, and had the best view on the Island.

FYI

One thing you need to know is when you arrive at MALE airport in the Maldives, you will have to take an additional ride (boat or plane) to your resort. We wanted a resort that was close to the airport and cost-effective. An additional plane ride can cost an additional $300 to $700 more.

Food

It is costly to eat on the Island so consider this when deciding on your resort. We booked a 3 meal package along with our accommodation for me and hubby. Our kids ate for free. With the package, we had access to more than 5 restaurants on the Island. Here is where you can look into booking an all-inclusive resort, to save. Ours wasn’t but the food package made it seem like one.

Maldives Travel Guide, Things to Do/See

There is so much to do in the Maldives. My kids got to go kiting for the first time and they also rode bicycles and went swimming. Hubby and I went Parasailing and kayaking. The cost of the activities was pretty standard compared to my past experience. The beaches are just out of this world, with powder-soft sand and beautiful turquoise water. Truly the most beautiful I have ever seen.

Our resort provided us with a complimentary Dolphin Experience. It was amazing seeing Dolphins in their natural habitat and they also treated us to a private chef dinner experience right on the beach.

For dinner (which we got to select ahead) we had a 4 course Maldivian BBQ meal (Ceviche, Lobster, Sea Bass, and more) paired with local wine and champagne. It was quite an experience and the perfect way to spend our last night in the Maldives. Thank you Anantara Dhigu!
