Where life plants you, bloom with grace. ๐ธ How are you "blooming" during quarantine? Is it honing a new skill? Writing gratitude lists? ๐ โฃโฃ

For me, it's been rekindling my love of the outdoors. ๐ณ These past couple weeks, I've biked, hiked, and rock climbed several miles. I've put my phone down and breathed in fresh air and taken in God's creations. ๐ฅฐ This is the first time in so long that I've explored the outdoors and became a tourist to the nature in my own town. ๐ฅณโฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
Don't get me wrong, as soon as we have the "OK" - I'm back out at rooftop bars, brunches, and flexing in those little fashion sunglasses that barely cover your eyes ๐๐. But, until then, I'll continue to get outdoors and to see the world with new eyes.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
I'm certain that when this is over, we'll all have a new outlook on life. Hopefully, one that'll be kinder, gentler, and more appreciative of the little things we take for granted (like sitting down in a coffee shop). Looking forward to it. โค๏ธ While we wait, I hope you continue to bloom and reflect in this time of adversity. ๐น
Just wondering when the next time Iโll get to be on a beach will be ๐ฅบ๐ค. When do you guys think this will be over?! โฃ

Even though we're all cooped up inside of our homes, the travel bug is still biting me in the behind like crazy! ๐ฅต And while flights are literally the price of GAS MONEY right now, it's imperative that we stay inside and help flatten the curve on this virus (although, it's truly tempting to just buy a Hazmat suit and head out anyways). NGL - it's hard to actually follow the rules and be mindful. ๐คโฃ

Sooo... This week I'm feeding my wanderlust. I'm visiting Italy, France, Spain, and wherever else my heart desires! And you can too. ๐ฅณ๐โฃ

Finally back home from Miami after a much needed break from reality ๐ก. BUT I was snapped back quickly into real life - closed beaches and clubs, empty flights, bare grocery aisles, my final research project to get my Masters degree being thrown into shambles, and having to stay home ๐ฅบ. At this time, Iโm just praying for everyoneโs safety, for everyone who is struggling financially in this state of crisis, and for us to come together as a community to stop the spread of this virus. Stay safe, my friends and family โค๏ธ

So in 1912, Japan gave the U.S. 3,000 cherry blossom trees that line the Tidal Basin in D.C.! This festival is straight up ICONIC, and pulls in people from every part of the U.S. and beyond with a giant parade, Japanese dancers and performers, photography, food vendors, art, and even a giant kite festival with hundreds of people at the Washington Monument. โฃ๐ชโฃ

Design your own lantern, and set it afloat at the National Harbor (which is actually Oxon Hill, - but anywho!). Feel the warm glow of thousands of water lanterns and watch them drift away! Cute date idea alert! โฃ๐จโฃ

Why have less 'scato, when you can have mo' scato? (Excusing myself from the stage) Wine, food, art, and a chance to flex a boujie fit? No more needs to be said.โฃโฃ

I LOVED this when I went last year! Cute dogs everywhere (I saw a corgi!), jazz, local vendors and Black businesses, food, drinks, and there's a place to make smores right on the Wharf. The concert at the Anthem costs money, but there's a free stage on the waterfront too! ๐ผ โฃ
