Your Life Is What You Make It

Your life is what you make it. Your present life is the result of all the choices you have made up until this moment. You are the only one responsible for where you are right now, for how your life looks, for how you are being treated by those around you and for the level of happiness or unhappiness present in your life. You and only you. If you want to change the quality of your life, if you want to change the quality of the relationships you have, you have to start by taking responsibility for everything. Yes, everything!


If you keep on doing the same things over and over again, you will get the same results, over and over again. Your life will change the moment you decide it is time to change, it’s that simple. It all starts with a thought, an idea and based on that the actions you will take will lead you in a different and new direction. Will lead you in the right direction.


I choose to be patient for I know life is a journey, not a destination.

I choose to forgive myself for all the mistakes I may have made in the past and to advance confidently in the direction of my dreams.

I choose to live a powerful and inspiring life.

I choose to express my gratitude and appreciation daily.

I choose to be happy, joyful and kind.



I choose to be an inspiration for all.

I choose to live a balanced life, for I know that balance is the key to a happy and successful life.

I choose to be content.

I choose to get up every time I go down and start all over again because I know that I CAN DO IT.

I choose to be opened in mind and spirit to what the world has to offer and embrace it all as it comes.

I choose to accept all the gifts life has to offer me.

I choose to allow events take their course without me trying to control everything.

I choose to be kind towards those people who like me and also those people who don’t.

I choose to always step out of my comfort zone, to stretch, to grow and to evolve.

I choose to take care of my health every single day for as long as I live.

I choose to help others grow and develop, knowing that, by doing so, I will grow with them.

I choose to always be true to myself.

I choose to always look at the bright side of life.

I choose to believe that everything I need, the universe will supply.

I choose to release all of my fears and doubts, knowing that they are all self-created, keeping me away from achieving great things.

I choose to grow and develop into a wonderful, beautiful and powerful human being.

I choose to listen to my heart and intuition, knowing that they will always guide me in the right direction.

I choose to step into the unknown, knowing that in the unknown lies my freedom, my opportunity for growth.

I choose to let go of the past, be confident about the future, and to always be present in the now.

I chose to share my unique gifts and talents with the world.

I choose to always do what I love, and love what I do.

I chose to be loving towards myself and the world around me.

I choose to believe in myself, knowing that I have incredible potential and I can accomplish anything I set my mind to.

I choose to be free of the good intentions of others and to always live my life the way I feel is right for me.

I choose to have faith, knowing that things will always turn out for the best.

4 Easy Office Outfit Combinations for Lazy Days

Putting together an outfit for work can be a little tricky. Of course, you’ll want to look gorgeous and fab but there are certain things you can’t wear to work because of certain dress codes and limitations. If you’re putting together an outfit that you’ll be wearing to the office it has to be chic and professional looking at the same time. If you’re someone who’s used to wearing street style chic clothes, you might have to exert a bit more effort discerning whether or not certain items should and can be worn to work and there will be days when you just won’t feel like doing that. Here are some easy office outfit combination for lazy days that you can use as your go-to combos.

Button up shirt and pencil skirt – this one’s a no-brainer, really. Just throw on a crisp white button up if you really can’t get yourself to think about mixing and matching anything then slip into a figure flattering pencil skirt and your slinkiest pair of heels and you should be good to go! If you want to give it a more personal and girly twist, choose a button up in your favorite color or one that has a cute design / fab details on it. You can also glam it up a bit more by wearing stockings underneath for the look of flawless legs.

A suit – another really easy outfit to put together on lazy days is a suit. Make sure you have at least one or two matching jacket and pants suit in your work wardrobe that you can wear on days when you really don’t feel like thinking about what to mix and match. On days when you’re feeling a little lazy but can still think of mixing and matching, you can try doing a mismatched suit instead (ironic, I know). Slip into a sexy cami before you put your blazer / jacket on to give your outfit a sexier twist. For a more feminine take, you can opt for a skirt suit instead.

Shift dress – want something that’s fuss-free and effortlessly chic? Wear that shift dress you’ve had for so long, throw on your chunky bib necklace and get your stilettos on for an office outfit that’s sure to wow everyone, from your workmates to your clients and bosses. You can also opt to add a blazer on top if you want. For a more fun and posh look, try wearing a printed shift dress.

Shirt and midi skirt – here’s another safe yet chic outfit that you can wear to work: a cute shirt and a midi skirt. Midi skirts are perfect for work because they’re not as short and sexy as miniskirts but also not as long as maxi skirts which have a more street style vibe. If you want to keep your look conventional, opt for a pencil cut midi. On the other hand, if you want to go a bit more glam and give your look a more girly feel, I would suggest wearing a full midi skirt instead.

Shelby turns 3! ❤ ❤ ❤

You’re turning three. I can hardly believe it! It seems like just yesterday we were holding our tiny baby and wondering what life would hold for you, for us and for our family. In those early days there were many tears.


We couldn’t imagine the joy waiting for us.
We couldn’t imagine the things you would teach us.
We couldn’t imagine the way our hearts would grow and change.

Your smile lights up the room. It chases away shadows and replaces them with hope.
You’re turning three.
You show us that life isn’t easy but it’s beautiful.
You make every day a celebration.
You make every activity an adventure.
You inspire me to greet each day with joy and an open heart.

I am honored to be your mom. I love you from the tips of my toes to the top of my head~ ❤ ❤ ❤

My Birthday Wishlist

My birthday is exactly in 7 days and like what I always say, I never receive a lot of gifts on my birthday. Most of the time, I buy my own gift! hehe. 

There are few things that I would like to have and it would be so nice if I could have them all for my birthday! Here's my birthday wishlist. :)

1.)Bear Hug

2.) Olivia Burton Watches 

3.) GUESS Floral-Print Sling Bags

4.) ETUDE HOUSE - MAGIC ANY CUSHION

Those are the things I want for my birthday. Some of you may already have everything I wrote here... But that's exactly the reason why I shared this wishlist. It's not always what you have that matters, sometimes it's about what you do to achieve what you want. I am thankful that I don't have everything that I want yet. Because then, I always have a reason to move forward and work harder. I always have something to look forward to and to be excited about. I hope you guys feel the same way, too. 

Happy Birthday to me!

I Have Always Wanted Too.

Since I was a little girl growing up into a teen, there were always 4 things I used to say I wanted to do. Some may call it a dream, because lets face it, they may never happen but some people will tell you there's no reason why you cant do what your heart desires.


I'm always sitting down discussing this topic with friends, so I thought why not type up a little post on the matter as there are probably lots of you out there that sit down and dream of things that you think are out of reach.


People will always tell you that life is too short, and a lot of the time it takes something drastic to happen in someones life for them to open their eyes and start living it. At the age of 25, I feel like like at times I've been dealt the 'rough times', but I've constantly picked myself back up and kept going, but I've realized as I'm getting older, I've let my dreams go.
