Looking for things to do in New Orleans? Take a sightseeing tour of the city.

For the Sagittarius who learns by seeing and experiencing things…

In Summer 2023, I visited New Orleans for the first time. It was a short trip so how could I see as much of the city as possible on a budget of funds and time? I found a sightseeing city bus tour. For two hours, I got to ride through parts of NOLA and get a taste of its historical significance. And its architecture and home design.

If you’re interested in historical sights, house designs and building architecture, neighborhoods like Garden District, Treme, Ninth Ward, the popular @cafedumonde in City Park for beignets…I highly recommend it.

Because representation and relatability instills confidence in the next girls coming up. ✨

For the Sagittarius that gets up and just goes because they can…

In 2023, I took my first ride on the Amtrak train en route to visit New Orleans for the first time and did it all solo dolo.

I was pretty new to taking public transportation and I realized something while on the train…there’s something community oriented about traveling this way.

You have an opportunity to connect with others for a few moments and possibly make new acquaintances, which is nice.

When I take off my headphones for a minute, I can strike up conversations with others and learn something new about them or the destination where we’re headed.

I appreciate that because it doesn’t happen all the time. It makes the solo journey less lonely and more enjoyable sometimes.

GOOD TO KNOW:

📌 Coach seats on the Amtrak are pretty affordable and spacious (good leg room!)

📌 You can bring up to two carry-on bags in the train car

📌 Bring snacks

📌 Wifi gets spotty and drops when traveling through certain areas

📌 Be prepared for stops to let people off and on at different stations

📌 Be prepared for a long ride, depending on your destination

📌 Bring books, gadgets, something to keep you entertained for a longer ride

The patience of a Sagittarius is nonexistent.

When you’re having “a day”, just go with it…

Minor inconveniences are temporary. At least, that’s what I tell myself. 🙃

Stay golden! ✌🏾

This boy has been getting brushed and groomed since I got him as a pup…but he acts like I’m torturing him when I brush him. And when he gets a bath. He’s gotta get groomed, right? 🥹

Anyway…I get asked a lot if my dog sheds since he has Poodle in his pedigree. I hope this sheds some light.

ASSEMBLE YOUR ENSEMBLE: Another black + white outfit combo because this contrasting pair simply works and it works well.

Accessories bring an outfit together. Choose one as the focal point of your ensemble. For the tall and curvy ladies, BELTS come in the clutch.

- They define your waist
- They balance out loose and form fitting styles
- They can help you color coordinate

I’m a Sag who loves changing things up a bit and experimenting…😉

Let’s elevate those basic chocolate chip cookies with some tasty adjustments. 🍪

KEY THINGS I’VE LEARNED:

Brown butter chocolate chip cookies aren’t just a recipe—they’re a little love letter to indulgence.

The browned butter brings this toasted, nutty richness that makes you pause mid-bite, while the bread flour gives the cookie its satisfying chew.

Measuring in grams feels precise, but it’s also a small ritual of care...like you’re investing in your own joy to amplify it.

Mixing by hand slows you down, which honestly, we all need sometimes.

And yes, waiting overnight to bake the dough is borderline torture, but it’s the kind that rewards you tenfold.

I just wanna give you the tips and ingredients to make this your very own.

Preparation is key. Summers are brutal. Doodles have tons of energy to release. Gotta be ready to walk a few miles.

We love a classic black-and-white combo. And stripes are your friend if you lay them in the right direction. 😎

Loose high-waisted bottoms paired with a crop top don’t miss.

Sometime ago, I got to finally use my ticket and ride the ferris wheel while in town for a quick trip.

Don’t get me wrong, Ferris Wheels are nice. 🎡They definitely serve a purpose. My attention span is just shot. And my mind wanders.

I think these rides are best for sight-seeing, cooling down from the heat, taking a break from walking, and spending time with another person for the ride.

I got to check this off my list and I’d do it again…with a date or friend. While we play a game or something 😁

Did you get to experience the magical world of “Where’s Waldo?”

You didn’t have a joyful childhood if you never searched for Waldo. 🔎👓 ICONIC.

I discovered these books in elementary school from a classmate. What I loved about these books were the visual adventures it takes us on through time, and searching and finding things.

(Don’t mind my durag. It’s called haircare.)

How do you dress your vest? ✨

Hey tall girl! As part of a series I’m lovingly calling “Assemble Your Ensemble” let’s build some style.

Are vests a part of your wardrobe and style repertoire? They should be. This article of clothing brings attention to your beautiful long arms and your torso (whether shorter or longer).

A vest can dress you up or dress you down, so it’s versatile for any occasion. Develop your unique sense of style by mixing and matching pieces for your figure. 🔥 And make a fire ‘fit.

Let’s assemble your next ensemble. 😉👡👗

Sagittarius vibes right here 😉🏹

Check my story for details and recipe!

It’s a hearty, mix-and-match, colorfully attractive, and tasty soup. Yes, it’s nutritious and each ingredient serves a purpose and provides benefits.

I just started adding a bunch of macronutrients and micronutrients. Build and build to create some goodness.

I like my soups with lots of solids and a splash of liquid. 🤣

A mid and unfulfilling experience. Are my taste buds off? Is my palate not refined enough for the hype? 🤔

You gotta keep going until it pops 😉

TAG, YOU’RE IT. 🏷️

Ever walked out of a store with a receipt 🧾 as long as toilet paper, as you’re filled with anticipation to wear your new ‘fits….only to realize there’s a security tag still attached? Yeah. 😐

Well, since I shopped while out of town, I wasn’t about to drive 4.5 hours for the store (cashier) to correct their mistake.

As a very tall lady with larger/longer parts, I often have to get creative and resourceful with life. So I turned to the internet and learned a life hack that will serve me well in the future. And I had to share this hack with others.

Let me know if this lifesaver came in clutch for you as it did for me. There’s something about overcoming a challenge that makes you stand a little taller. Like you just accomplished something. 😂
