Motivation Monday!

Your circle of friends is very important. Who you keep around you, can really depict your own mood and attitude. When you’re with that annoying dramatic friend, all the time, you can’t possibly be in a good mood. Keep happy, positive, motivated people in your most inner circle. The more good you surround yourself with the more positive your life will be. Just because you’ve had a friend since you were in 1st grade or 5 years old, doesn’t make them a good person to have constantly in your life. It’s ok to keep these people at arms length, and…

Fashion Friday Blues

Don’t worry it’s not a miserable post, ‘blues’ is just referring to my shoes, duh. I love having a pop of color. Cobalt blue is something we’re going to see a lot of in Fall fashion, and I can’t say I hate it. I recently purchased this amazing pair of Stewart Weitzman heels and could not wait until fall to wear them. Take a look.. Top: Theory | Belt: Gucci | Denim: Hudson | Shoes: Stewart Weitzman, similar I LOVE cobalt blue, or any bright blue for that matter, worn with all black. I also love how the leather…

Motivation Monday!

People have always said “don’t get mad get even,” which is some of the worst advice I’ve ever heard. You degrade your character when you hurt someone else. No matter what someone has done to you, when you seek revenge they only person that matters that you hurt, is you. The best thing you can do, is detach and let it go. You can even help others by volunteering to get your mind off of someone that has betrayed or hurt you in any way. The world is such a big place, why would you want to be another person…

Motivation Monday!

It’s a fact of life that not every one is nice, not everyone has empathy and not everyone thinks before they speak. Sometimes good kind people even say something they don’t mean or out of anger. When we feel judged, picked on, targeted and just in the crossroads of someone having else a bad day, we get upset and our feelings get hurt. Don’t let these experiences make you think any less of yourself. I personally found this to be extremely true when applying for jobs. There’s nothing worse than someone telling you exactly WHY they’re deciding not to hire you.…

Motivation Monday

Work ethic is necessary in today’s society, and not everyone has it. I’m a huge believer in positive thinking and the whole “ask, believe, receive” mantra, but I’ll also be the first to tell you that nothing is going to happen if you’re sitting on your ass. I don’t care who or what you know (obviously this is a part of being successful but definitely not everything), you have to work hard and put yourself out there. You constantly have to do things outside your comfort zone, because that’s where success is born. Don’t be the person who always calls…

Motivation Monday

Let’s just be realistic for a second, Monday definitely needs all the help it can get. Not an easy day to start and not an easy day to get through, Monday sets the tone for the week ahead. It’s so important to be aware this morning on how you set your tone for the week. Before you get up, just think about all the good you do have in your life. It helps put the week into perspective. It’s always hard dealing with other people on a Monday. They’re just not as happy, not as excited and pleasant as they…
