Making enjoyment a way of life🤸🏾

This journal entry was written after settling down from my Miami escapade with MR. MONEY WITH THE VIBES! Can I just say, y'all, we had a time! Proof of the time had here. But let's shift gears and dive into some life updates, shall we?

✈️ Taiwo on Tour

At least that’s what the past few months has felt like. But instead of a tour bus, I’ve been on flight after flight.

April was an oversized luggage bag of celebrations as I galavanted all over to attend my dear friends' wedding festivities with a capital F. I hopped from the traditional wedding in Austin to the white wedding in Santa Barbara, and closed out the celebrations in Calabasas, it was an inspiring blend of enjoyment and celebration. It left me feeling inspired for my own future wedding (date & husband TBD), even asking the bride for a copy of her vows as a reference for what's possible.

And as May rolled in, I found myself literally running around Los Angeles as I prepared for my move into a brand-new apartment that has become my haven. I decluttered my space, said farewell to the old, and welcomed a fresh wave of newness.

And I absolutely cannot forget to mention my favorite tour stop in the desert of AlUla, Saudi Arabia.

Yes, ya girl was in Saudi and if you follow me on TikTok, you might have caught a glimpse of my latest #TravelTikTok experience with my gworls. As always, here’s where I stayed (an absolute gem) and every product I packed and thankfully got through TSA 🥵 (FYI: opt-in to the Ulta Beauty sale neeoww).

🎨 God, the Best Creator I Know

During my time in Saudi Arabia, I couldn't help but feel incredibly blessed that I get to witness God's creations scattered all around the world. He’s seriously the best Creator I know, and as I continue on my journey as a Content Creator, I aspire to be like Him — creating with excellence, intention, and purpose.

I still find this pretty hard to believe, but I've had the chance to explore twenty-six countries so far, and God's handiwork never fails to BLOW ME AWAY, like wow! I mean, just imagine what He might’ve been thinking when He conjured up the city of Venice, that is now floating on water.

And let's not forget the Greek Islands— Greece and Mykonos were some of the most epic vacations I've ever had! Every time I encounter these awe-inspiring places, my appreciation for architecture deepens.

💝 enjoyment is a gift from god

Contrary to the TikTok hashtag, my travels are not focused on chasing black girl luxury (although I can't resist looking good while traveling 💁🏾‍♀️). Traveling, for me, extends beyond celebrating milestones or special occasions; it revolves around enjoying God’s creations all over the world.

This scripture from Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 resonates deeply with my aspirations for living.

It reminds me to treasure the intricate beauty that God has woven into every moment and experience. As I travel the world and capture the essence of God's creations through my content, my desire is to wholeheartedly embrace the joy, wonder, and magnitude of His gifts.

And one thing about me, I don’t turn down gifts. Especially from God, whose every gift is good.

I’m also a proper Yoruba babe, so I think its fair to say we might just be the masters of enjoyment.

I’m referring to the type of enjoyment where God is involved, so please don’t quote me if the enjoyment you’re doing removes Him from the picture.

As we enter this new month, my hope is that you find enjoyment in every experience you encounter, whether it's in the seemingly mundane or the extraordinary. Make it a way of life.
