TAIWO IS TYPING...
Spend the weekend in Joshua Tree🌵
We spent 3 days at the Sky House Joshua Tree, and it was breathtaking. From the design, to location, and even the landscape. It was very much giving serene, relaxation, soft life, and luxe all at the same time. Some of the photos I took during our stay were low quality, but the experience was definitely High quality.
He thinks You’re to die for
“In today’s intense work environment and the ‘you sleep, we grind’ hustle culture, it can be easy to equate your perceived level of busyness with your self-worth. For far too long I believed the lie that I should always be hustling, always striving because the more I sow, the more I’ll reap… right?
2 Terms: Something Worth Celebrating🥈
A former colleague from my LinkedIn days invited me for lunch at her new job at Instagram. Upon arrival, I immediately flicked it up. Of course I had to do it for the gram one time! The rest of the story of how I went from IG visitor to IG employee is one for the books and will be shared at a later date. But the takeaway point is…
8AM 🕗 in Sorrento
From wandering the streets of Positano, cooking like Chef Curry in Sorrento, chartering a boat in Capri, to having gelatos in Amalfi – what an experience!?
I’ve visited Europe in past winters, but only dreamed of romantic summers like the one depicted in the movies.
I didn’t go to the Grammys
I didn’t win a Grammy, but I’d still like to take this time to celebrate this win.
Like Kanye said in his 2005 Grammy acceptance speech, “appreciate every moment.” We don’t have to wait until something becomes a memory, or we receive accolades to appreciate it.
A Time For Everything 💐
It has been said that things must end for things to begin. In theory that quote sounds good to me and probably something I’d post on my Instagram story on any given day, but in practice, it’s difficult for me to accept. So, believe me when I say it took a WHOLE lot out of me to say goodbye to 2021 Taiwo.
The Category is Neutrals🧴
Cozy fits are my go-to, but this time around I wanted to wear something that makes me feel posh and luxe, giving rich aunty just pulled up with the big boys. I figured I’d find a beige turtleneck to match a cream mini skirt I already have in my closet.
The Vision From 15yr Old Taiwo 👧🏾
I decided to write down the vision that was planted in my heart back in my teenage years. That vision has been refined and polished over the years, and has helped me make career changing decisions from LinkedIn, to Facebook, and now Instagram.
2021 Wrapped 🎁
For all those times I doubted, and asked “but when God?” He answered by giving me the gift that is 2021. A year full of mountaintops + valleys, laughter + tears, endings + beginnings – this year was a reminder that my God doesn’t play about His children.
