During my travels in Europe, one of my favorite things were capturing pictures in fun outfits in front of places I used to google. Check out this edgy chic look in front of the famous Duomo di Milano.

Here’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!

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:
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!
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!
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
Being a lifestyle blogger I love having the ability to discuss things from my favorite fashion trends to my favorite music at the moment. I thought it’ll be a cool idea to share my playlist at the moment, so here’s to yet another addition to my blog, The Playlist. I am the type of person who puts off listening to new music because I find it a bit overwhelming, but after everyone raved about these albums I dedicated to check them out. Here is a list of seven of my favorite songs at the moment:
I love R&B music. Always have and always will. However, I am a sucker for Hip-Hop and R&B. I love when rappers can switch it up and speak on their feelings. A boogie definitely showed up and showed out with his Lauryn Hill “sample” in Get To You. I am impressed! “The Bigger Artist” is definitely a great debut album.
If anyone had to describe my music choice using one word it would definitely be “love.” And as you can see love is definitely the theme of this list. What are some of you guys favorite songs at the moment? Albums? Genres? Comment below!
Hi, all! Welcome welcome welcome to my blog! My name is Jiara, and I am more than excited to be here actually typing my first blog post! The thought of creating a blog has been something heavy on my mind, but I’ve finally made my way to a platform! Let’s be honest for a second, if creating a blog wasn’t a class assignment I still might have put my blog on hold. It’s the perfectionist in me. I want to ensure I deliver great content to my audience! As my first blog post, I wanted to formally introduce myself and explain why I am here. My blog will be a lifestyle blog with a great focus on beauty, travel, and fashion! My interest in creating a blog mainly started when I was abroad Spring ’17. Originally I wanted to create a travel blog and vlog (vlog coming soon), but I feel as though I have a wild array of interests that I’ll love to blog about! While abroad I discovered my passion for traveling, and how I want to make a positive impact on others’ view of traveling, specifically targeting those in the black community. Prepare for more organized thoughts and the creation of Jiara the blogger! Follow me as a twenty-one-year-old unapologetic Black girl from the South side of Chicago living and loving life.
