Happy February AKA the month of love! Despite what the stores and social media try to force, this month of love ain't just for my peeps in relationships. Singles can celebrate this month just as hard by showing love to themselves and to those dope people in their lives. Remember, relationship or not, self-love is a vibe. Never let anyone tell you differently. YOU ARE YOU, and th[...]
Before I talk about my 2020 plans and moves, let me start this conversation with a little “Ekaila’s Question of the Day.” Now, my friends and family know I am definitely the one who will randomly ask a question if I really want to know an answer. So, here’s my not so random question, “What’s one move you really want to make this year? Maybe your move for your 2020 bucket list i[...]
Have you ever thought about if you had to name this chapter of your life, what you would name it? I have actually thought about more than one name for this chapter. I would call this chapter of my life either "God's Plan" *in Drake’s voice* or “What if? More Like Even if." I think both of these names really describe how I am learning to trust God's plan over my own. But do[...]
Since taking my last out-of-state trip to St. Louis, I have been anticipating my next travel adventure. When my mom brought up the idea of traveling during the holidays, I was like yesss let's go! Any chance to make moves to a new spot with dope culture, food, and good vibes is something I’m all for! We decided the next adventure would be to New Orleans, Louisiana. Keep reading t[...]
https://youtu.be/SyKXw2kCpss One thing I have wanted to do on my blog is a vlog, so you all can see the person behind Kaila with an E. So, I instantly knew, when the chance to link with my friends came up, this was the perfect time to show y'all a little peek into my life and feature my best friends all at the same time. But wait, I couldn't just show y'all the vibes without being r[...]
Have you ever felt like one of your relationships with your significant others, friends, or even family members, was one-sided? Like you were constantly giving out positive energy, but not getting the same energy in return? Or have you ever questioned your importance in someone's life because you felt like they didn't value your time or dismissed your feelings? What about you censoring you[...]
After publishing my last blog post on Things to Do and Eat in St. Louis (click on it and check it out), I realized that something had to change for me to be able to become more consistent with creating content for my blog and Instagram. I began to think about the best ways to organize my thoughts and accomplish more of the smaller goals I have for my blog. To be honest, I felt a lot o[...]
As I think about places that I want to visit, one area that was on the top of my travel list was St. Louis, Missouri because 1) my brother was born there though he knows nothing about St. Louis and 2) one of my best friends lives there. After a potential plan to make moves to New York with my friends didn't go through, I ran the idea of coming to visit St. Louis by my friend, and she was[...]
As I was sitting on a plane waiting for takeoff, I had to, of course, capture the moment with the Snapchat filter "Catch Flights Not Feelings." Before now, I always thought that phrase was a mood but never really gave much thought to it. Like what does catch flights not feelings mean? Maybe, less focus on relationships and more focus on traveling and making memories? If that’s the case,[...]
