Motivation Monday!

The worst thing you can ever do is compare yourself to someone else. Your day one can be someone else’s day 100, we’re all at difference places. We all want to know where we stand, know where we fit in, but the fact of the matter is that even if you had a definite answer, you wouldn’t be happy with it any way. So it best to break the habit and stop comparing yourself to others. Every time you think someone else is skinnier, fitter, getting better grades than you, making more money than you, being promoted faster than you,…

Motivation Monday!

I’m a firm believer that failing and messing something up is the BEST learning experience you can have. And it’s not limited to work and school, it could be not going to the gym for a while, to forgetting to do something for a good friend. Anytime you make a mistake you are empowered to store that experience in the back of your head and move forward and make better decisions. You can’t appreciate sunshine without (a bitterly disgusting New York cold winter that just doesn’t want to leave) rain. This week I challenge you to embrace your mistakes and…

White out

Spring is finally, kind-of, slightly in the air. Whatever, I’ll take it. And just as much as I love white in the Winter, I love it even more in the Spring and Summer. It’s such a clean and fresh way to bring in the new season. Let’s take a look.. Coat: H&M, similar | Top: H&M (last year), similar | Denim: Current Elliot | Shoes: Pour La Victorie | Clutch: Clare V Say it with me, coated-white-denim; I’m SO obsessed. I swear it makes my legs look thinner and it fits so nice! I also love the zipper detail on…

Motivation Monday!

Inhale good shit, exhale bullshit! It’s Monday people – the best day of the week! Today is the day you stop telling yourself you can’t, or you’re too tired or it will take to long. Monday’s are the perfect day to work on achieving your goals. Think about the things you promised yourself you would do come the New Year, what have you done, what can you do more of? I mean let’s be real, I know some up you made some ridiculous gym goals along with me! The important thing to remember is you’re the only one standing in…

Motivation Monday!

I almost never stop. I have a full time job, a basically part-time job and my blog. I still find time for my family and friends and even sometimes the gym (that’s more of a struggle but I’ll still count it). Every morning I pop up ready to go, even on the weekends. I actually dislike sleeping in, I feel like I miss half the day when that happens. A lot of you may be asking, but how?? And thinking that I’m nuts (which is probably half true! haha). You’re going to end up sleeping 20 years anyway, why would…

Motivation Monday!

This is one of the many times I should take my own advice. For so many years I fought my passion. I’m very talented at drawing and painting, and overall very artistic. I’ve always thought I was “good” but not amazing or great, which is completely untrue. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that what I love is art or anything creative, it’s just who I am. With my blog I’ve been able to follow my passion. When you do what you love it shows, and it’s the best thing for you. We don’t always make the right decisions or…
