Motivation Monday! What is your “big dream”?

Good morning everyone! Happy Labor Day if you’re here in the US! If not, here’s your motivation Monday post.. Growing up I never said I want to be a doctor, police officer, lawyer, veterinarian or anything for that matter. I never had a clue but always knew that I wanted to do something that made a difference. Something that impacted others. My blog is somewhere I could do that, so that’s why I do motivation Monday. I love clothing and fashion, but sometimes I think it’s nice to read something genuinely positive that will hopefully help start your week off…

Motivation Monday! Let’s chat!

I love making new friends. I love talking to people from different backgrounds who have different hobbies than myself. I love the internet and my blog because I get to become friends with all of you! So today’s motivation is me getting to know you! And in return your Monday challenge is to get to know someone new! They say your network is your net worth so you might as well make some new friends! (And Drake has no idea how dumb, although catchy, his no new friends song is) You should always try to expand your horizons. So, tell…

Monday Affirmation

This is definitely easier said than done, but it’s something I try to practice everyday. I wake up and remind myself to be thankful for each day. It’s hard enough going through a routine and doing the same things over and over again, it’s another thing to actually enjoy what you’re doing. Committing to being happy each day (over time) does actually work. You end up in this habit of happiness instead of complaining and crankiness. Today I challenge you to choose to be happy and to live in the moment of today. You deserve to enjoy each day and…

How to survive a Monday after a three day weekend

Buy some shoes, obviously. HA and you can also survive your Monday by reading my motivational post below: My mom has always told me the exact opposite of this post (ie. to always work and to always have my own money and to never rely on anyone to support me), but I think this quote is all to true to many women. I always hear people “joke” and say to someone find a rich man. Hello, a rich guy could suck and much as a poor guy. So why not focus on you and your career and find someone you…

Monday Vibes

I love starting off the week with good vibes. It’s Monday, we’re all cranky – I need at a minimum two cups of coffee before I’m of sound mind – and I get it, who wants to be nice and/or in a good mood at 8am Monday morning? Really no one. Who wants to deal with cranky people? Nobody! So here’s my Monday advice, vibes, motivation what have you, be kind. Even if you’re cranky, remember that you never know what other people are going through. If someone had a horrible morning that you didn’t even know about, why would…

Motivation Monday!

When I tell people all the different things I dabble in, I always get this look. This why are you doing so many different things look. (ie. HR, retail, my blog). The truth is, I don’t think we’re all meant to be just one thing or live just one life, especially when it comes to a career. Just because you feel like you’re at a shitty job now, doesn’t mean you’ll be there forever, especially if you don’t let yourself be there. Just because you graduate with a degree in Finance, doesn’t mean you can’t work with kids. I always…
