The BEST time to travel? 🤔 It might just be should The BEST time to travel? 🤔 It might just be shoulder season. ✈️

It’s that sweet spot between peak season and the off season, when you can often find better prices, fewer crowds, and still enjoy great weather.

And honestly, some of my favorite trips have happened during this time.

The exact months will depend on where you’re going, so always do a little research before booking. But if your travel dates are flexible, checking shoulder season is one of the first things I recommend.

You could get the same destination, the same beautiful views, and the same experiences… just with fewer people and potentially for a lot less.

Save this for the next time you’re planning a trip. ✈️

Have you ever traveled during shoulder season?

My Babylove @fotosbyfola In a world constantly t My Babylove @fotosbyfola 

In a world constantly telling us to choose ourselves, put ourselves first, chase our own desires, our own needs, our own happiness… you have spent over two decades showing me something different.

You choose me. You put me first. Even in the moments when I don’t always see it.

I am spoiled because of you 😂 and maybe somewhere along the way, I got so used to being loved by you that I forgot just how precious it is to be loved this way.

Thank you for always seeing me. For loving me. For never trying to change me, yet somehow making me a better person.

Thank you for the joy and peace you bring into my life. For being patient with me, for your kindness, for always being good to me, for being faithful through every season, and for the grace you continue to show me.

I thank God for you, my greatest blessing.

Happy anniversary & cheers to many more years together by God’s grace.

A few weeks ago, we celebrated my daughter’s 13th A few weeks ago, we celebrated my daughter’s 13th birthday in the most special way. 🥹💕 Thirteen is such a milestone, and when it comes to celebrating our kids, we’ve always been intentional about making their birthdays feel like them.

This was our 6th birthday party ever, and this time, I really wanted her to choose the things she loved. @BaubleBar was such a natural part of it because she already loves their bracelets and making her own jewelry. 

They provided the cutest bead kits for the girls to make bracelets and keychains, along with beautiful pouches personalized with each guest’s name to take all their goodies home in. The girls absolutely loved it!

Thank you #BaubleBar for helping us make her 13th birthday that much more special. And those personalized pouches? Let’s just say I was very tempted to snag one for myself. 😆

I linked the party kits and personalized pouches in my SHOP page/Stories along with a few more highlights from the celebration.

Here’s to celebrating the milestones, big and small, and making memories along the way. 💜💕

What Do You Mean….you’ve been traveling all this t What Do You Mean….you’ve been traveling all this time and nobody told you?!

Okay, let’s get into it because some of these can actually save you MONEY.

- Cancelled flight: This happened to me! Hotel, transportation AND food were covered and best believe I still got my €600 compensation! Know your passenger rights.

- 3+ hour delay: Contact the airline! I’ve used ChatGPT to draft the email requesting compensation, miles or a travel credit. It works.

- Basic Economy: A cheaper ticket doesn’t mean applicable passenger rights disappear. Get your refund, credit or compensation when you’re entitled to it.

- Pay in LOCAL currency: When that card machine asks USD or local currency, choose LOCAL. Let your card handle the conversion and please travel with a card with no foreign transaction fees.

-Kids’ (under 12)flights: Stop automatically paying the adult fare. Some international airlines offer discounted child fares. Always check.

- Luggage tracker: It’s 2026. A tracker goes in EVERY checked bag. Knowing where my luggage is when the airline doesn’t? Priceless.

- Need a passport FAST? Urgent passport services exist and, in some circumstances, you can get one VERY quickly. And pleaseeee check your passport BEFORE booking that trip.

- Airline loyalty: With these ridiculous flight prices?! I’d rather be loyal to flexible CREDIT CARD POINTS. More airlines, more options, better value.

- Overpackers: I say this with love… we are NOT paying $100 because you needed 17 outfits for a 5-day trip. Post coming because we need to get you together.

Which one had you saying “wait… WDYM?!
SAVE this for your next trip and send it to your travel group chat. 

And if planning the trip is the part you’d rather leave to someone else… that’s what @tiwalajo is for.  We plan, you travel.  #traveladvice

Staycation at the Hotel at Avalon review: Perfect for Valentine’s Day

It’s February and Valentine’s Day is literally only days away! How are you celebrating? Today’s post is perfect if you are looking for something different to do for V-day or any celebration or just because (cos who doesn’t enjoy a night or two away from home from time to time right?)

staycation

Staycations are top on my list of things to do on Valentine’s Day cos let’s face it, everyone is out celebrating which means restaurants, shows, spas, etc are packed so why not opt for something low-key like a staycation and if you happen to live in the Atlanta area, The Hotel at Avalon (link HERE) is a perfect choice. Keep reading to see why.

The hotel at avalon

I had the pleasure of being hosted at The Hotel at Avalon on a staycation recently. Thank you again to The Hotel at Avalon for the comped stay. It was a pleasant experience in every way hence why I highly recommend this hotel for the following reasons.

Perfect Location

The Hotel at Avalon is located at Avalon, a location that is about 20mins from the Buckhead area and surrounded by retail stores, restaurants, spa, movies, special events and more. You can literally walk to a variety of places of interest from the hotel. I love that it is away from Atlanta central, so it is perfect for a relaxing stay. You can read more about the location HERE.

Beautiful environment

From the moment I stepped into the lobby at The Hotel at Avalon (link HERE) up to the 12th floor where I stayed, everything was impeccable.  The ambiance in the room was amazing! We stayed in a King sized bedroom which was super spacious.

Atlanta travel blogger

I love the view from our room. We ordered room service during our stay. Food can be ordered from the hotel or there is the option to order from the restaurant on ground, South City Kitchen.

room service

On-site Restaurant, Bar and Cafe

I love that aside from room service, there is the option of a restaurant and bar right in the hotel. I had an amazing Mimosa at the bar. Bonus there is a Starbucks right in the hotel too. I loved that I could get my favorite Starbuck drink without leaving the hotel. Like I also mentioned earlier, once you step out of the hotel, there are a lot of restaurant options around.

Great Service

What is a hotel without amazing service? The Hotel at Avalon didn’t disappoint. From checking in to calling for room service, everything went smoothly. The front desk was attentive to all our needs too.hotel at the avalon

I linked everything I am wearing in the photos below.

Amenities in the hotel

Apart from the amenities I mentioned above, The Hotel at Avalon also has a rooftop pool and sitting area that would be perfect for  Summer hangouts. The view is amazing! Complimentary coffee, fruits on executive level floors was also a welcoming addition.

Price point

For all you get at The Hotel at Avalon (service and amenities) I absolutely love the price point per night for this 4-star hotel. It is super reasonable, definitely book through the website to take advantage of their special offers.

Avalon, alpharetta

She loved the set, asked where it was from, and next thing I know… she came with me to the pop-up, y’all😌

Because when the fit is fitting, apparently even Brandy needs the details. 👀
And yes, there may or may not be a little proof at the end of this Reel. (Watch to see😂)

Love that the Cannes Zuki pant set  that caught her attention was by a Nigerian designer too. 🇳🇬✨ they ship worldwide. Set available in other prints.

My nails are press ons, linked along with my accessories to my profile.
