CHECK IT OUT! CHECK IT OUT!

WAIT! Please stop what you’re doing and book one of these flights!!! If I had the time and wasn’t in school I’d be on my way to Europe! Often times we get caught up in the cliche that traveling is expensive, but the key to traveling is booking flights when there is a cheap deal like this one circulating different travel blogs. From the different blogs I come across, often times travelers speak about how they book flights when there are amazing deals going on, and when there are glitches on different websites. We literally have to stop snoozing on deals and see the world! I understand having responsibilities pull us back, but post-grad please believe I will definitely take advantage of all the deals.

Okay, but here is a fair WARNING. Like many airlines WOW Air is flawed. While abroad I flew from London to Keflavik and from Keflavik back to Barcelona. The flying process was like normal. However, the thing that I didn’t like about WOW Air is their baggage system. The only bag you are allowed for free is a personal bag such as a purse or a backpack, a bag small enough to fit under the seat in front of you. If you are traveling with a carry-on, it must be a certain size, and you have to pay for it. Depending on where you are flying from and flying to determines the cost of the extra baggage.

Comment below how you all feel about posts like these! Are you guys booking these flights or what? Do you have things holding you back? Maybe my mantra will help. Book now, worry later!

3 HOT DEALS OF THE WEEK!

For the most part I’ve blogged about a variety of things; however, I want to bring the focus back to one of the topics I want to emphasize more, Travel! Here are some of the deals I came across this week that are stealsssss!

I love following travel pages because I get to see all the cheap flight deals and picture of other’s vacations. I’ll be sure to post flight deals that I feel are relevant to my viewers. With this blog post I decided to focus on cheap domestic flights, but I’ll be sure to also post inexpensive international flight deals!

I’m a foodie too!

Creme Restaurant and BarHere’s to the start of another section of my blog, The Foodie. As a student at an HBCU, I love brunching! I’ve recently visited Creme Restaurant & Bar in Columbia Heights, a neighborhood in DC. It was my first time there and I had the Chicken and Waffle. It is by far the best chicken and waffle I’ve had. The chicken was huge and fried to perfection and the waffle was delicious. They had other things on their brunch menu that I am sure is also really good! If ever in the area definitely stop by Creme Restaurant and Bar. Not to mention they are black owned! What are some of your favorite brunch spots in the DMV?  Comment Below!

Is R&B making a comeback?

In recent weeks it seems to be that R&B is making a STRONG comeback. I am 100% here for it! This week’s playlist features artists in which I am fairly new to except for one. These songs may or may not be old, but I’m sure it’s someone out there that aren’t familiar with these new hits. Here is a list of seven of my favorite songs at the moment:

  1. Too Deep – dvsn
  2. Nuk Time / Tek Time – dvsn
  3. Keep Calm – dvsn
  4. Best Part – Daniel Caesar feat. H.E.R.
  5. Get You – Daniel Caesar feat. Kali Uchis
  6. Nothing on – Tank
  7. Only One – Tank

These are my favorite songs on these albums, but definitely, check them out and see if you agree. Comment below your favorite R&B songs at the moment!

3 of my favorite places to shop!

As Homecoming SZN is approaching, I thought it’ll be cool to list a few of my GO-TO places to shop for party/evening clothing. It is important to serve looks all homecoming weekend, so I hope this would serve as a guide to help as you all are gathering outfits for the grand festivities! Here are some of my go-to websites where I shop to secure the looks!

  1. zara.com
  2. missguidedus.com
  3. us.boohoo.com

I am the biggest Zara fan. I think they are the perfect mix of High-end fashion at fast fashion prices. And I am sure my fashion girls can relate. Missguided is another favorite. They have some of the cutest things on their website, and not to mention the great prices and fast shipping. Missguided always has a sale going on so I definitely suggest everyone to browse their website and see what you can find. When it comes to BooHoo you can either find great quality things for a very good price or get what you paid for. BooHoo has a marketing strategy whereas everything on their site is 50-60% off, and I must say thing sucks me right in.

Be sure to check these sites out and slay Instagram all homecoming weekend!

The Paris Vlog

Today’s vlog is from my time spent in Paris, France. This is definitely one of my favorites out of the bunch. While abroad I turned the bittersweet age of 21 and got the chance to celebrate in Paris! To have the chance to travel through Europe to so many different countries and cites by the age of 21 was a blessing. Never would I have expected to accomplished such a thing, so this was definitely a birthday for the books! I won’t go into details about this trip because honestly everything I would need to say is captured in the vlog. I hope you all enjoy the vlog! Comment, like, and subscribe!

 

 

Blogging Ain’t Easy.

In my first few weeks of being a lifestyle blogger, one thing I must admit is…. blogging AIN’T easy. As I stated in a previous blog post I am a bit of a perfectionist. I want to make sure anything I put out is my very best. That being said I’ve dedicated to spice things up and add some structure to my blog. Starting next week I am implementing a schedule for my blog. Expect new posts Thursday and Sunday nights. I believe at that time most people have some downtime to relax and enjoy blog posts. Being a full-time student with more credit hours than a student should ever take, I will try my very best to give the people what they want! If you have any suggestions on blog posts you would like to see or you just want to comment on anything regarding my blog be sure to comment below!

With Love,

Jiara
