Estamos en Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 We’re being some real tourists today. There’s so much to see and do in Old San Juan.
Expect to see a lot of food pics on this trip. I LOVE FOOD!!! If I had it my way I would travel around the world, documenting local eats and culture. It was pretty late when we got out in Old San Juan but food was on my mind. My brother @infamousphiljones suggested @restauranteraices for dinner. We tried the Typico Festival ( an appetizer sampler of cod fish fritters, crab taquitos, plantains stuffed with meat, and alcupuria fritters) and this paella de mariscos ( seafood paella) Everything was pretty good. The Paella was really fresh like “seafood” but good. It’s worth visiting for the ambiance. Up today breakfast, Old San Juan, Museo de African Roots, lunch and the beach.
Fall Break has started for us!!!! We’re heading separate ways though. Amira is heading to Disney 💫 with her dad and Ms. Kisha. Jasiel and I are heading to San Juan, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 with my mother. Travel has always been important to me. My mother being a flight attendant I’ve been able to explore at a very young age. But being able to share memories around the world with them is so important to me. Here’s to making memories...
I’ve always prided myself about humbling working, moving in silence, well basically not a lot of self promotion. But, in this season of doing all of the work that I do with kids, I feel like it is a must to show my work. I work hard but that’s not why I want to self promote. I want to self promote because I am in a place where I truly enjoy all that I do. I’m fortunate to have leveraged this platform as a blogger to create so many opportunities like being the Freelance Fashion Editor of the @memphisflyer Packaging all of my talents up to create bodies of work that allow me to be fulfilled as a creative brings me great pleasure. The latest Memphis Flyer Fall Fashion Issue was so cool that I want to show you my work and how I pull all of my talents together for a story. #showyourwork : Memphis Flyer Fall Fashion is on the blog #linkinbio
There’s one thing that never goes out of style in #memphis , and that’s good food. Food, like fashion, is driven by trends, seasonality and occasional hype. My new series, Eat with Style, is a celebration and documentation of two of the things I love— food and style. In this series, I will travel around Memphis and other cities having amazing meals with even more incredible people and talk about the perfect immersion of food and style. Let’s kick it off here with the Lunch at @cozycornerbbq with @bykriskeys

With a new baby in the house taking care of yourself becomes one of the lowest priorities. It seems almost frivolous to take some time to focus on yourself. It’s easy to prioritize yourself last in order to make sure everyone else in your family is taken care of. Something I cannot stress enough, especially during this season of life is that the better you take care of yourself the better you will be able to take care of others. Here’s self care advice people gave me and some I’m giving to you. Even if you’re only able to find 10 minutes during your day to practice self-care it will go a long way in helping you fill your cup. #linkinbio 📸 @kaeyla.w
Hands up you guys if you are trying to go plastic free and zero waste 🙋🏽‍♀️ You guys we have a serious serious issue with plastic and waste especially here in Memphis. Mother Nature is not pleased with the ways in which we are caring for her and the environment. We MUST be better stewards of the earth to ensure we are passing on a clean environment for the future generation. I’m doing my part by partnering with @plasticfreetennessee through my daily efforts and by creating a platform on @insearchofourgarden to reduce waste and use of plastic. YOU SHOULD TOO!!! Find out easy easy ways to reduce your plastic use by following them. Here are just a couple of ways.... + Stop asking for plastic bags while shopping. Come on that’s so 2000. Bring your own bags. + ask for paper and not plastic.. straws that is while dining out. I’ll be kicking off content next week about my low to zero waste journey on the @insearchofourgarden blog. Love to have you join me.
Let’s be real, doing anything postpartum is sacred. Lately, I have found myself showing so much gratitude for the simple things like showers and eating good meals. Nourishing my body with good nutritious food isn’t an option as a breastfeeding mom. I am still eating for two and I love to eat well. The problems I’ve been experiencing though is food boredom and carving out time to cook and prepare. I really enjoy cooking. So, it’s been a little frustrating that I have been scarfing down peanut butter and banana sandwiches for dinner. Browsing through my cookbook collection as well as Pinterest, inspired me to create some easy food bowls like this chipotle shrimp bowl to stimulate my palette and sustain my body. The recipe is on my blog today. #linkinbio
Fall is a season I’ve dreaded for years and years. After peeling back the layers to uncover why I have a hard time spiritually with fall, I’m finally saying Bring It Fall. I’m ready to overcome, embrace the change and find balance just as Fall does. 📸 @kaeyla.w
