Invest in skincare before you invest in makeup. Never wait untilt he weekend to live and enjoy your life. Go to your favorite coffee shop after school. call your friend, bake cookies on a Wednesday afternoon, dance around in your underwear. Your life is yours to live and you shouldn’t put it on hold because of work or school. Push yourself to get up before the rest of the world- start with 7 am, then 6 am then 5:30 am to go to the nearest hill with a big coat and watch the sunrise. Get into the habit of cooking yourself a beautiful breakfast. Fry tomatoes and mushrooms in real butter and garlic, fry an egg, slice up a fresh avocado and squirt way too much lemon on it. SIt and eat it and do nothing else. Push yourseld to go for a walk. Take your headphones , go to the beach and walk. SMile at the strangers walking the other way and be surprised how many smile back. Bring your dog and observe the dog’s behavior. Realize how much you can learn from your pet. Become the person you would ideally fall in love with. Let cars merge into your lane when driving. Pay double for metered parking and leave the second one in the machine. Stick your tongue out at babies. Compliment people on their cute clothes. Challenge yourself to not ridicule anyone for a whole day. Then two. Then a week. Eye contact and good posture go a long way. Take up all the space when you walk into one. Let them feel your presence. You are someone they need to turn around and see, hear, feel. Be the person who pours that much love into yourself as much as you do for anyone else. Know the power of your own light because every person you come in contact with flourishes, so it’s time for you to come into contact with yourself. Don’t follow men or trends or other women. Stop, sit and close your eyes and listen. Really listen to what you want. Then follow that. Doing what you love will never lead you to stray.  It is none of your business what people think of you. Live your life in a way where it feels right to you. Being likes isn’t the point anyone. Being able to like yourself is. Real is rare. Be one.…

When was the last time you asked for a table for one and ate. And I mean, really tasted what you ate? When was the last time you left? One way, ticket for one and really got lost. So lost that you found parts of yourself again? When was the last time you took time to give back to yourself that love you give so much to others? Loving others comes easy almost as if it were second nature to us. We tend to let it come so naturally that we almost forget about the most important person alive — ourselves. Loving yourself is not vain, nor is it selfish. Self love is the greatest love. Because I take one time out of the week to ask for a table for one, I in turn learn to be more confident in my own skin. Because I leave and take solo adventures by myself atleast once a month, I learn that I am the strongest when I stand alone and never fear of standing by myself. Because I  take time to give myself time and love and understanding, I am a better person for my fiancee. We are wholes not looking for halves. Therefore we must be whole in order to find another or even entertain thoughts of being with another. Grow in your own skin and trust that you become better at loving when you love yourself.  The best way you can love them is not by losing yourself in them, but growing yourself so you can grow with them. Take the time to love yourself as Cluse‘s  La Vedette in Gold keeps a close watch of me taking time to do so too. In Collaboration with Cluse

Parties in your honor, festivities just because, ah the engaged life — the perfect excuse to splurge on a dress. It may look perfect and pretty and cute as it sends all sorts of lovey dovey vibes but sometimes, a seating chart isn’t just a seating chart and the best part : No one EVER wants to talk about the back end.

Any blogger who says they are always swimming with ideas and content is lying. Every artist, entrepreneur or creative will feel some type of “writer’s block” at some point. With that being said, in all honesty, I will admit to being “stuck” here and there.
