Motivation Monday!

Pro tip: I chose this quote today because it’s something SO important to remember. I love fashion, shopping, jewelry, trends, things – I love things; but they are not who I am. My Chanel bag doesn’t make me feel better than anyone else, or define my personality. It’s just a thing, that I love, but again, it’s just a bag. It’s not my family, it’s not my friends, it’s not a great night out or an amazing experience that helps me grow as a person, its a fucking bag. It’s a nice bag and I’m happy I have it, but you…

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…
