Growing up, Oneika Raymond couldn’t ever imagine she’d become the travel guru she is today. Describing herself as a “bona fide travel junkie”, Raymond grew up in Toronto in an immigrant family, with both parents raised in Jamaica. “We didn’t really have much of a culture of travel,” she admitted in an interview with Passion Passport.

The author of the award-winning travel blog “Oneika the Traveller,” these days Raymond is a media personality, journalist, and keynote speaker, with over 115 countries under her belt. Her adventures include having bungee jumped over the Zambezi River, fished for piranhas in the Amazon, and climbed active volcanoes in Guatemala and Ecuador.

According to Raymond, she began traveling fairly late in the game, during her studies in university. “Eventually I realized it was travel that was really feeding me,” she recalls. “It wasn’t necessarily the idea of being away from home, but the idea of discovering, of learning something new every day, of stretching my boundaries and living outside of my comfort zone—that’s what I really enjoyed.”

And while traveling has been largely restricted due to Covid, Raymond’s posts include tips and tricks that will help guide you through these testing times. “It’s a strange time,” she admitted in a recent post. “Protocols and procedures vary wildly by destination and change frequently/rapidly. Be sure to check local, state, and federal public health websites before you travel for up to date information to avoid disappointment or getting caught off guard.”

Her positive outlook on life and bubbly personality to match will help brighten up your feed:

Louis John Cole’s passion for adventure is very much contagious. You don’t have to take it from us. With two million subscribers on YouTube and another one million on Instagram, he might as well start a cult.

A seasoned traveler, Cole is known for his entertaining travel content that has an added layer of education and provides a teaching tool for sustainable travel and community-oriented living. But with a moniker like FunForLouis, fun, and more importantly, passion is a core element to what he does.

These days, alongside his online platform, Cole teaches other influencers how to turn their passion into a booming business. His number one tip? Come from a place of being passionate about capturing and sharing moments and “not straight from this mentality that [you] want to make money or jump straight into having Instagram as a revenue generator or a business.”

“That’s an added bonus if you can get to that stage,” he noted in an interview with Entrepreneur where he talked about his business model, “but if that’s your initial goal, it could be quite tricky especially if you’re not enjoying what you’re doing. I think the audience can really notice that as well.”

Some of his more recent projects also include running The Social Good Club, striving to create a community designed to empower others to effect positive change around the challenges we face as a global society. We’re all for it.

Indeed, when it comes to her upbringing, she admits to spending a lot of her formative years in the kitchen, cooking up a storm with her mum. A self-taught cook, Alexander recalls preparing three-course meals for dinner parties by the time she was 12!

“Whether it’s a quiet night in with friends or an extravagant Christmas lunch celebrating with extended family, these moments are treasured and are almost always centered around food,” she reflects.

According to Alexander, her love for food has inspired her to try new things and push her cooking skills, which now puts an emphasis on baking (her cakes alone have got us drooling!). With most of us homebound these days, now is a great time to refine our cooking skills and head to the kitchen!

Harry Potter mega fans might recall a scene where Hermione reproaches Ron. “Your mother can’t produce food out of thin air,” says the knowledgeable witch in the seventh book of the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. “No one can.”

But if there’s one original witch that can actually produce food out of thin air it’s J.K. Rowling herself. All seven of the Harry Potter books are filled with mouthwatering references to food, starting with Dudley Dursley’s Knickerbocker Glory and ending with Cauldron Cakes. And then there’s the fan-favorite Butterbeer, consisting of a cream soda-meets-butterscotch flavor and a sweet whipped topping.

And while you can’t actually taste the Harry Potter books, many have tried to recreate the magic. For one thing, there’s the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios where even us muggles can visit Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. The tasty British fare includes dishes like The Great Feast, Fish and Chips, Shepherd’s Pie, Beef Pasties, Turkey Legs, and Fresh Vegetables.

There’s also the famous Butterbeer. “We found out very, very quickly when we opened that Butterbeer was definitely an overnight homerun,” admitted the corporate executive chef of Universal Orlando Parks and Resorts, Steven Jayson, in an interview with USAtoday. “Hands down, that’s the one thing that we’ve created here at Universal Orlando that stands alone.”

With most of us homebound, you can now experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter even through Instagram, with a fan dedicated Instagram account documenting the theme park with its many book-inspired treats.

Hunger managed!

If you are interested in tattoos but still aren’t sure you would ever get one, perhaps you should try henna instead. No needles are required when decorating your body with this ,aterial—All you need is a little piping bag and henna paste.

This vegetable dye is a mixture of henna powder coming from a plant with the same name and other ingredients, like water or tea. There are many great Henna artists out there, but today we are introducing you to one of the most talented ones. Her name is Gopi Henna, and she is from San Diego, California.

Scrolling through Instagram, we came across her profile, where she posts images and videos of her beautiful art. Flowers, moons, mandalas, etc., are just some of the drawings she makes.  Last year she made a trip to India, where she found more inspiration from astonishing décor.

To decorate other people’s bodies, Gopi uses the highest quality henna, which she makes herself. Besides working in her city, she also accepts requirements for events outside of southern California.

To see her hennas, check out the images below. Don’t forget to give her alike!

I’ve had a lot of these photos in my phone archives for a few years now! 🙌 The first one was before burning man when I lived in LA (for that really short period of time 😆) and the second, third, and fourth were from EID a couple years ago when I was in north park, and the following are some of my lovely repeat customers! 💖💖💖 Let me know if you see yourself and I can tag you (I’m bad at remembering usernames)! 🙏 . Sometimes darker skin tones can be a bit under represented in our henna feeds but as you can see from a couple of these photos, henna stains beautifully well on darker skin tones too! I always keep stain photos to show my clients and those who may walk up to my booth wondering if it will show, but with good aftercare henna looks just as great as on lighter skin tones! 💖 I do always like to have Jagua gel on hand too though since many of my clients regardless like the look for the Jagua as opposed to henna 🥰🌸 . And lastly I just want to repeat I’m still here, listening, reading and been looking deep in myself to see how I can be better towards my fellow humans! #blm and if you’re still looking for a place to donate the last photo is for you! 🙌🙏 . . . #henna #hennaart #hennadesign #hennaisneverblack #hennainspire #henna_i #hennapro #hennaartist #tattooart #tattoostyle #sandiegoart #sandiegoartist #bridalmehndi #mehndi #tattooartwork #gypsysoul #instaart #instahenna #eidhenna #instadraw #sandiegohenna #instagood #seaportvillage #festivalfashion #festivalready #hennadesigns #downtownsd #jagua

Instagram influencers come in all shapes and sizes. For Tara Whiteman (aka Tara Milk Tea), Instagram is a pastel-hued universe, filled with flowers, cake, and wanderlust.

With summer turning into autumn, and autumn quickly shifting into winter, we’re in dire need for some inspiration to get out of bed and get going. Thankfully, Jena Holliday has got our back, with illustrations, quotes, and mantras that aim to help us overcome our creative slump. Based in Minneapolis, Holliday relies on her background as a graphic artist, illustrator, wife, and mother of two to inspire other people, with women being her primary focus.

“Get out of your own way,” reads one of her Instagram posts. “Get out of your head. Get it on to paper. Work through the doubt. Work through the unknown. Work through uncomfortable moments. Try things you are holding yourself back from doing. Make all the mistakes necessary for you to learn how to keep getting back up. It will help you in the long run.”

“It always seems impossible until it’s done,” reads another quote. “This quote is so encouraging to my heart to remember how I felt before I did it,” adds Holliday underneath her post. “Getting used to that feeling of being uncomfortable is actually the best soil for growth. My encouragement to you is to keep taking steps forward even if they are baby steps! Small progress is still progress.”

In 2019, Holliday received the Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant which was a great opportunity for her to showcase her work in the Minnesota community. And with more than 10k followers on Instagram, she has clearly inspired lots of people to take steps forward.

If you’ve been on the internet for the past decade there’s little to no chance you haven’t encountered Minnie and Max. The sibling pugs have gained international fame thanks to a viral head tilting clip of them that was featured on The Ellen Show.

“In late 2008, we had our pug friend Mabel staying with us while her humans were traveling,” said the pugs’ owners in an interview with Hello Bark, talking about the story behind the viral clip. “We posed all three for a photo tilting their heads (as many pugs do) and sent it to them as an email attachment. We then did a video similar to the photo while asking a few recognizable questions of them. ‘Wanna go for a riiiide, etc.’ We tried to attach it to an email as well but the file size was too large. We decided to upload it to our rarely used YouTube account and simply send them the link. (We also CC’d a couple dog friends who we thought might enjoy it.)”

Their clip was soon featured on the world’s biggest stages, including ABC’s Good Morning America, Ellen, and Regis and Kelly. Another version of the video also appeared on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show and several subsequent videos appeared on Animal Planet, making the pugs overnight celebrities.

Now, with more than 100k followers on Instagram, the pugs’ online presence is bigger and greater than ever before. It also serves a good cause, as the pooches’ owners use their social media platforms to promote pug rescuing.

Follow their delightful adventures:

We get it, life can be hard and trying to prove yourself to others – even harder. But why not try a different approach: being easier on your self. Self-taught writer and artist Meera Lee Patel hopes to inspire you to try, try again. And even more importantly: make peace with yourself.

Her many projects include book illustrations, textile & print licensing, stationery collections, and writing pieces about mental health and emotional well-being. But what really made us fall in love with Patel is her Instagram page which is an upliftingly wholesome haven in a sea of self-promotion and beauty gurus.

“I am interested in projects that add beauty to the world; help people feel more like themselves, and remind us of the oft-overlooked moments in our livesbecause they are usually the best ones,” she writes on her website. “I am interested in exploring the intricacies of human connection, and I use my work to unearth the small yet vibrant stories found in everyday life. Like you, I have many worlds inside of me. I am sensitive but tough. I am pragmatic but free. I am a dreamer. ​I hope my work will always serve as a simple reminder: you are not alone.”

“What you can control lies within yourself: your thoughts and attitudes, your wishes and desires, and the perspective you choose to live by,” she adds in an interview with Freelance Wisdom. “We often blame our fear for keeping us from moving forward, but it’s our perspective of fear that truly holds power—it can imbibe us with strength and courage, or it can slowly destroy us. If you believe that everything that happens to you holds a lesson, you’ll be better equipped to find the lesson and learn from it. If you believe that there is purpose and meaning in difficult, you’ll find beauty in the obstacles you face.”

Follow her Instagram page for a dose of wholesomeness:

Growing up, Oneika Raymond couldn’t ever imagine she’d become the travel guru she is today. Describing herself as a “bona fide travel junkie”, Raymond grew up in Toronto in an immigrant family, with both parents raised in Jamaica. “We didn’t really have much of a culture of travel,” she admitted in an interview with Passion Passport.

The author of the award-winning travel blog “Oneika the Traveller,” these days Raymond is a media personality, journalist, and keynote speaker, with over 115 countries under her belt.

Louis John Cole’s passion for adventure is very much contagious. You don’t have to take it from us. With two million subscribers on YouTube and another one million on Instagram, he might as well start a cult.

Indeed, when it comes to her upbringing, she admits to spending a lot of her formative years in the kitchen, cooking up a storm with her mum. A self-taught cook, Alexander recalls preparing three-course meals for dinner parties by the time she was 12!

“Whether it’s a quiet night in with friends or an extravagant Christmas lunch celebrating with extended family, these moments are treasured and are almost always centered around food,” she reflects.

According to Alexander, her love for food has inspired her to try new things and push her cooking skills, which now puts an emphasis on baking (her cakes alone have got us drooling!). With most of us homebound these days, now is a great time to refine our cooking skills and head to the kitchen!

Harry Potter mega fans might recall a scene where Hermione reproaches Ron. “Your mother can’t produce food out of thin air,” says the knowledgeable witch in the seventh book of the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. “No one can.”

But if there’s one original witch that can actually produce food out of thin air it’s J.K. Rowling herself. All seven of the Harry Potter books are filled with mouthwatering references to food, starting with Dudley Dursley’s Knickerbocker Glory and ending with Cauldron Cakes. And then there’s the fan-favorite Butterbeer, consisting of a cream soda-meets-butterscotch flavor and a sweet whipped topping.

And while you can’t actually taste the Harry Potter books, many have tried to recreate the magic. For one thing, there’s the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios where even us muggles can visit Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. The tasty British fare includes dishes like The Great Feast, Fish and Chips, Shepherd’s Pie, Beef Pasties, Turkey Legs, and Fresh Vegetables.

There’s also the famous Butterbeer. “We found out very, very quickly when we opened that Butterbeer was definitely an overnight homerun,” admitted the corporate executive chef of Universal Orlando Parks and Resorts, Steven Jayson, in an interview with USAtoday. “Hands down, that’s the one thing that we’ve created here at Universal Orlando that stands alone.”

With most of us homebound, you can now experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter even through Instagram, with a fan dedicated Instagram account documenting the theme park with its many book-inspired treats.

Hunger managed!

If you are interested in tattoos but still aren’t sure you would ever get one, perhaps you should try henna instead. No needles are required when decorating your body with this ,aterial—All you need is a little piping bag and henna paste.

This vegetable dye is a mixture of henna powder coming from a plant with the same name and other ingredients, like water or tea. There are many great Henna artists out there, but today we are introducing you to one of the most talented ones. Her name is Gopi Henna, and she is from San Diego, California.

Scrolling through Instagram, we came across her profile, where she posts images and videos of her beautiful art. Flowers, moons, mandalas, etc., are just some of the drawings she makes.  Last year she made a trip to India, where she found more inspiration from astonishing décor.

To decorate other people’s bodies, Gopi uses the highest quality henna, which she makes herself. Besides working in her city, she also accepts requirements for events outside of southern California.

To see her hennas, check out the images below. Don’t forget to give her alike!

I’ve had a lot of these photos in my phone archives for a few years now! 🙌 The first one was before burning man when I lived in LA (for that really short period of time 😆) and the second, third, and fourth were from EID a couple years ago when I was in north park, and the following are some of my lovely repeat customers! 💖💖💖 Let me know if you see yourself and I can tag you (I’m bad at remembering usernames)! 🙏 . Sometimes darker skin tones can be a bit under represented in our henna feeds but as you can see from a couple of these photos, henna stains beautifully well on darker skin tones too! I always keep stain photos to show my clients and those who may walk up to my booth wondering if it will show, but with good aftercare henna looks just as great as on lighter skin tones! 💖 I do always like to have Jagua gel on hand too though since many of my clients regardless like the look for the Jagua as opposed to henna 🥰🌸 . And lastly I just want to repeat I’m still here, listening, reading and been looking deep in myself to see how I can be better towards my fellow humans! #blm and if you’re still looking for a place to donate the last photo is for you! 🙌🙏 . . . #henna #hennaart #hennadesign #hennaisneverblack #hennainspire #henna_i #hennapro #hennaartist #tattooart #tattoostyle #sandiegoart #sandiegoartist #bridalmehndi #mehndi #tattooartwork #gypsysoul #instaart #instahenna #eidhenna #instadraw #sandiegohenna #instagood #seaportvillage #festivalfashion #festivalready #hennadesigns #downtownsd #jagua

Instagram influencers come in all shapes and sizes. For Tara Whiteman (aka Tara Milk Tea), Instagram is a pastel-hued universe, filled with flowers, cake, and wanderlust.

Describing her style as “playful, vibrant and chill all in one”, Whiteman’s eye for color and style has attracted some 1.3 million followers to date. “It’s not just about capturing the scene,” explained the young entrepreneur in an interview with Buro Malaysia, “it’s beyond that. It’s about transporting people to different places and seeing things in a different light. I also love to experiment.”

With summer turning into autumn, and autumn quickly shifting into winter, we’re in dire need for some inspiration to get out of bed and get going. Thankfully, Jena Holliday has got our back, with illustrations, quotes, and mantras that aim to help us overcome our creative slump. Based in Minneapolis, Holliday relies on her background as a graphic artist, illustrator, wife, and mother of two to inspire other people, with women being her primary focus.

“Get out of your own way,” reads one of her Instagram posts. “Get out of your head. Get it on to paper. Work through the doubt. Work through the unknown. Work through uncomfortable moments. Try things you are holding yourself back from doing. Make all the mistakes necessary for you to learn how to keep getting back up. It will help you in the long run.”

“It always seems impossible until it’s done,” reads another quote. “This quote is so encouraging to my heart to remember how I felt before I did it,” adds Holliday underneath her post. “Getting used to that feeling of being uncomfortable is actually the best soil for growth. My encouragement to you is to keep taking steps forward even if they are baby steps! Small progress is still progress.”

In 2019, Holliday received the Minnesota State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant which was a great opportunity for her to showcase her work in the Minnesota community. And with more than 10k followers on Instagram, she has clearly inspired lots of people to take steps forward.

If you’ve been on the internet for the past decade there’s little to no chance you haven’t encountered Minnie and Max. The sibling pugs have gained international fame thanks to a viral head tilting clip of them that was featured on The Ellen Show.

“In late 2008, we had our pug friend Mabel staying with us while her humans were traveling,” said the pugs’ owners in an interview with Hello Bark, talking about the story behind the viral clip. “We posed all three for a photo tilting their heads (as many pugs do) and sent it to them as an email attachment. We then did a video similar to the photo while asking a few recognizable questions of them. ‘Wanna go for a riiiide, etc.’ We tried to attach it to an email as well but the file size was too large. We decided to upload it to our rarely used YouTube account and simply send them the link. (We also CC’d a couple dog friends who we thought might enjoy it.)”

Their clip was soon featured on the world’s biggest stages, including ABC’s Good Morning America, Ellen, and Regis and Kelly. Another version of the video also appeared on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show and several subsequent videos appeared on Animal Planet, making the pugs overnight celebrities.

Now, with more than 100k followers on Instagram, the pugs’ online presence is bigger and greater than ever before. It also serves a good cause, as the pooches’ owners use their social media platforms to promote pug rescuing.

Follow their delightful adventures:

We get it, life can be hard and trying to prove yourself to others – even harder. But why not try a different approach: being easier on your self. Self-taught writer and artist Meera Lee Patel hopes to inspire you to try, try again. And even more importantly: make peace with yourself.

Her many projects include book illustrations, textile & print licensing, stationery collections, and writing pieces about mental health and emotional well-being. But what really made us fall in love with Patel is her Instagram page which is an upliftingly wholesome haven in a sea of self-promotion and beauty gurus.

“I am interested in projects that add beauty to the world; help people feel more like themselves, and remind us of the oft-overlooked moments in our livesbecause they are usually the best ones,” she writes on her website. “I am interested in exploring the intricacies of human connection, and I use my work to unearth the small yet vibrant stories found in everyday life. Like you, I have many worlds inside of me. I am sensitive but tough. I am pragmatic but free. I am a dreamer. ​I hope my work will always serve as a simple reminder: you are not alone.”

“What you can control lies within yourself: your thoughts and attitudes, your wishes and desires, and the perspective you choose to live by,” she adds in an interview with Freelance Wisdom. “We often blame our fear for keeping us from moving forward, but it’s our perspective of fear that truly holds power—it can imbibe us with strength and courage, or it can slowly destroy us. If you believe that everything that happens to you holds a lesson, you’ll be better equipped to find the lesson and learn from it. If you believe that there is purpose and meaning in difficult, you’ll find beauty in the obstacles you face.”

Follow her Instagram page for a dose of wholesomeness:
