Bits and pieces

Today I sit down to write and I'm oddly inspired and not overwhelmed.

Many little things have happened and I want to share them with you.

• This week I've sat through three days of amazing Independent Professional Projects. Each exciting and uplifting in their own way. Congratulations to all of the 2nd year crecomms! It has made me eager to start my IPP... Breaking news, this just in, I will (fingers crossed it goes through panel) be creating a health and wellness radio show called Tune Up! More details to come in the following weeks. 
• I also watched two very interesting films; Perks of being a wallflower and Celeste and Jesse forever. Both with similar messages: do not take what you have for granted and live life to the fullest. My favourite line from Perks is "We accept the love we think we deserve" - a good lesson for everyone. Celeste and Jesse was disappointing, but it's very well done. If you watch the movie you'll see what I mean. Here are the trailers courtesy of You tube. Perks gets four lovely snow angels out of five and Celeste and Jesse get two heart hand motions out of five. I've seen a lot of movies but I'm always wanting to see more. Let me know if there are any amazing movies you think I should check out. 

• This week was also the travel assignment and magazine project wrap up. If I have learned anything from this week it is two things: never underestimate the power of connections and time management is a beautiful thing. This is the first time in ages I'm not procrastinating and actually done a project before it's due. I have my fabulous group members and my loving god mother to thank. 

It's when the bits and pieces finally come together that it feels wonderful to relax. 

I really hope this motivation and peacefulness lasts for a while. This week I leave you with another blog to lift your spirits: inspired joyful chaos

Have a wonderful weekend :) 

Look! A new outfit!

I'l admit it, I'm a shopaholic. I blame it on being in retail. Every shift I walk in thinking, what's new? What can I buy this shift? How would this shirt look with that pair of pants? Yikes! Why didn't I think of getting a job selling stuff I don't like? Oh right, I actually like my job.

My bank account hurts. If it could talk it'd be coughing. This week I bought a cute black and white stripped shirt and last week I bought a military green studded jacket. Super jazzed. My closet just keeps getting better and well bigger. Actually its stuffed. My discount is 50%. You'd think that'd be a good thing, but now whenever I see a price tag I always half it. That's bad when I walk into other retail stores.  I don't think I could ever go back to buying clothes full price. You'll find me at the outlet mall later in life.

I'm going to have to change jobs sooner or later. I really like my job, but I'll always be broke. I will enjoy my discount while it lasts. I don't think being a shopaholic will ever wear off though. Time to embrace it. I love accessorizing and putting outfits together. There should be a club.

Speaking to all of my fashionistas out there I will direct you to Look Book (if you haven't already been there). Get inspired to try out different outfits. It's fashion from around the world. Such a fun site. I could honestly sit for an hour just scrolling through different outfits. Liking them and sharing them. Go ahead create a profile. Upload your favourite outfits. Pin some outfits. Like them on Facebook and follow them on twitter. Add to the hype of your fave outfits. Of course there is also an app. Which means I waste more time on my phone. Enjoy surfing the site, you're welcome.

How cute is this outfit!?
