Motivation Monday!

As the holiday’s come and go, so does New Years and New Years resolutions. Now is a perfect time to follow your dreams. I can remember days in High School where I thought College would never come, and moments in College where I thought the work and tests would never end, yet it all does. Sometimes the future seems so far away, but you have to remember that each day you’re creating your future. One of my personal future goals is to wake up everyday doing what I love to do. I put a lot of time and every into…

Casual Wednesday: Mustard Yellow

Wine shades of the world, beware. Mustard yellow is quickly becoming a fall staple that’s here to stay. As much as I love deep red tones in the Fall/Winter, I still find myself searching for other season appropriate colors. I love wearing this muddied yellow color as it’s bright and alive but clearly not something you pulled out of your Summer wardrobe. Let’s take a look.. Cardigan: Aqua, similar | Blouse: Loft | Denim: JBRAND | Booties: Steve Madden | Bag: Chloe, similar I wore this to my cousin’s 6th birthday party last weekend. As I’ve said before with these booties,…

Motivation Monday!

I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand people who always have to be right. I get it, I don’t enjoy being wrong either but come on, you can’t be right all the time. I think it’s our tendency, and human nature, to want to be right. We want to say the right thing, do the right thing, be the right person and know all the answers (unless your a serial killer – kidding, kind of). The reality of that is, you just can’t know everything, you can’t always do the right thing and people will respect your for…

Motivation Monday!

Although I’m one to sometimes want everything given to me, I happy that it’s not so. It’s so easy to have everything handed to you, everything paid for. Last week I talked about building character. Working hard for everything builds character, struggling and earning things on your own, builds character. So why in the world would I want everything to be easy? To be given everything? The truth is, I don’t want that and you shouldn’t either. Am I still going to complain about it? Of course I am. Complain, whine, breakdown and then let it go. No one is going…

The best thing you can do for yourself is push yourself. Physically, mentally, creatively, socially, push yourself to do anything that you don’t think you can do. Character is built when you’re working your hardest, not when you’re giving up or taking the easy way out. And if those reasons aren’t enough, trust me when I tell you that pushing yourself, and accomplishing something new is one of the best feelings. This blog for me is something that I push myself to do. I’m always making time, giving up my time, scheduling, prioritizing, organizing ect. pushing myself to do my best…

Motivation Monday!

Today’s inspirational quote to start the week is about always being yourself. In today’s society it’s so easy to conform to norms, to buy what everyone else is buying and do what everyone else is doing. Let’s be real, it’s why everyone who had an upgrade on their phone went out and stood on a line or pre-ordered an iPhone 6. It’s more challenging to be different. Just because you like something and someone else doesn’t, it is not a bad thing. You don’t need everyone to like you and in fact, even if you try your hardest, everyone still won’t…
