Motivation Monday!

Sacrifice is what Mondays are made of. As we all wake up to go to school or work, we sacrifice our time and most importantly sleep to do what we think is right. You may have studied or relaxed this weekend to be prepared for a test or presentation. You may have worked six days in a row to earn an extra day off. We all constantly make sacrifices in order to live the best life possible. So, as you drag your ass out of bed this morning, remember that this is all serving a purpose. If you don’t sacrifice…

Skirt-all + Chanel

I mean who doesn’t love overalls? ME, yea me. I don’t love overalls, at all. I can’t tell you exactly why, but I think it’s the fact that they’re not definite. They’re masculine, but not very masculine the way an oxford is. They’re casual, but not sweatpants but they remind me of sweatpants. You can dress them up with heels, but you can’t make them very dressed up. You would think being a Libra I would love an article of clothing that falls right in the middle of every style question. Until now, I really couldn’t figure them out. And…

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…

Motivation Monday

Oh how Monday always rolls around again and again. As you read this, I’m sure you’re tired, maybe you’re having your coffee or haven’t even gotten out of bed yet, but with your cranky pants in all – you’re all missing something. What you’re fighting through right now is the obstacle in the way of your success. The tiredness, the wish to be shipwrecked on a deserted island, the dread of dragging your ass to work – that’s all that stands in between you and your next big opportunity. When you put it into perspective, and look to the bigger…

Motivation Monday!

So if you haven’t guessed or observed, I can be overly dramatic sometimes. Just last week I was ready to have a mental breakdown, while complaining to my mother via text, about working. I have a full time job, a part time job and my blog. And I quote myself “I would rather work six days a week because then I don’t get to remember what it’s like to be happy and enjoy myself.” Now I can say this to myself, shut the F up Simone, YOU’RE NUTS. I’m also laughing as I write this. Sometimes I just can’t even…

Motivation Monday!

BUT I’M TOO NEUROTIC TO LET GO OF CONTROL!!! Haha, sorry but it’s kind of true. Personally, it’s something I’m always working on and reminding myself, not everything has to work out in the way that I think it should. It’s so important to relax and take life day-by-day. Just because something doesn’t work out right the first time, doesn’t mean it won’t work out perfectly in the future. Jobs, friends, relationships, will all work out the way that they should. The great thing about failures is what you learn, and they mean they you’re trying. Everything works out the…
