What’s Black & White and Red All Over?

Well it’s kind of my outfit, I’ve always wanted to use that saying for something LOL I googled the answer and realized it’s supposed to be “read” and the answer is a newspaper (dying because I never got that joke until now). I’ll stop questioning my intelligence and talk about my outfit. I’ve been saving for a Celine bag, but when I saw this gorgeous red Chloe bag, I had to have it. This outfit is nothing without the pop of red. Lets take a look… Top: Forever 21, similar | Denim: J Brand | Shoes: Pour La Victoire |…

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…

Motivation Monday!

If I had a mantra this would be it, and if you follow me on twitter you would know that. I ALWAYS try to do what makes my soul happy. Whether I’m at work or deciding to do with my spare time, it revolves around being happy. It’s so important to know what you like and how to keep yourself in a good mood. If you’re constantly running through your days, going with the motions and just going to work or school and hanging out with your friends, how do you know what you like? So, this week, here’s the…

Monday Affirmation

Personally, I sometimes feel lost in all my passions. It happens from time-to-time. In college, it was declaring my major and deciding what school to transfer to (depending on said major choice). After college, it would be deciding what jobs to look for to start my career path. I always like to have a plan and a direction, but sometimes I let all my fire get me. Sometimes I’m lost and I can’t make a decision (Libra probs) and other times when I finally decide my direction (it takes a lot of over analyzing/obsessing on my part) I’m more driven…

Motivation Monday! Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Think about this, in 5 years you can be doing something TOTALLY different than what you think you’ll be doing in 5 years right now. (FYI I HATE that interview question, and I’ll always go with CEO, hashtag sorry not sorry LOL) I don’t think any one person is meant to be just one thing. I love meeting people who when to school for anthropology who are now working in a hospital, the people who swore they would be a dentist when they were 15. It’s doesn’t matter what you choose to do, as long as every time you choose,…

Motivation Monday!

If this is not the most perfect quote for any given Monday, then I don’t know what is. I’m sure the Monday struggle is so real right now, and there’s not much to make you happy or look forward to, but you’re always going to have days like that. Today you just have to take the little wins (like remembering yesterday to buy sugar or milk for your coffee this morning) and really appreciate them. Appreciating the small things on a shitty day makes all the difference. Really enjoy the fact that you remembered to do your laundry so you…
