And Heaven in a wild flower, 
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
An Eternity in an hour." - William Blake

Throwback to my trip to Barcelona and seeing this in person! La Sagrada Familia is just STUNNING 😭😍 the interior is just as amazing as the exterior and it's so beautiful to see in person! 10/10 recommend going inside and I feel like going during sunrise or sunset would be so so cool (for next time, who's with me? 😁) __ 📷: from the archives - Barcelona, June 2017

Mind the gap 🇬🇧🚃 __ It's been about 4 months since my trip to London, so thought I'd share some travel tips! 1⃣ DO follow the escalator etiquette of standing on the right. This is so other people can walk on the left and it just makes everything so efficient. This also goes for walking out on the sidewalk, slower walkers to the right and fast walkers to the left. 2⃣ Sometimes it really is faster to walk between destinations instead of taking the Tube. For example, the walk time between Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square is about 1 minute (yep, I learned the hard way 😭). 3⃣ If you are traveling to London before August 2021, you won't get the famous Big Ben shot because it is currently covered in scaffolding and undergoing renovation. 4⃣ The weather in London is unpredictable, it could be sunny and warm one day and cold and wet the next. So definitely pack accordingly, pack layers, comfortable walking shoes, and bring an umbrella. In my opinion, I thought the weather was really similar to Bay Area weather! __ If you've been to London before or are from London, feel free to share your travel tips below! 👇🏾🤗
Big #AAGC Energy ✨ __ So my lil IG break and the fact that the 6 Underground trailer dropped today (any Ben Hardy stans here? 🙋🏾) might have just cleared my skin and raised my credit score 😂 __ ANYWHOOO, Happy #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth to my Filipinx fam🙌🏽💕🇵🇭🇺🇸 I've got some exciting stuff planned for this month, so stay tuned! 👀
First rain of the season, now suddenly people can't drive 😑 Buuut other than that, I am really excited about this cooler weather! 🙌🏽 __ __ Who else has a serious case of the Mondays? 🙋🏾😴 __ __ Jumpsuit: @lulus
That feeling when you successfully trim your own bangs 😬🙌🏽 __ Story time: when I was in 8th grade, I cut my own bangs. I can't remember if I did it because I was just really bored or if it was me being rebellious when I got in an argument with my mom.. 🤔 The joke was on me because it was a disaster and Bobby pins were my best friend that year 😂 So happy to say that my hands are pretty steady now! __ 📸: @e_jamosmos
When you can't be bothered to wear heels 💁🏾 __ __ Are you more into sneakers, sandals, or heels? __ __ Jumpsuit: @lulus Sneakers: @adidasoriginals
