HOW TO PICK YOUR DREAM CAREER

Social media is a big advocat in showcasing the best of people's lives. Things may seem hunky dory from the outside, but it's not all about coffee art, big brands and dream holidays. Just because things may look great on the outside, the truth may not be what lies beneath.

Picking your dream job sounds easy enough right?! Well it's not. In my inner circle of my nearest and dearest, I can honestly say I know about three people who are doing their dream job. Lucky them right?! While others may sit there and think that's impossible or so far from their reach, others are out there, doing their dream on a daily basis, so why is it so hard for some of us?

LASEK EYE SURGERY - MY EXPERIENCE

Wake up. Scramble for glasses. Shower. Can't see anything. Put my make-up on. Sit as close to the mirror as humanely possible. Go Swimming. Swim only above water. Spontaneous night out. Can't happen.

You may or may not know this but it's not that easy being a glasses wearer. Well - not for me anyway. I was blessed with short-sighted vision. This means that I can't see things that are far away and as my eye sight has deteriorated, I can barely see past the tip of my nose. Fun right?

BURN BABY BURN - MY FAVOURITE CANDLES

When I am stressed and I need to shut down at the end of the day and drift off into a peaceful abyss, something I like to do is light candles. For me, a candle can take away the woes of the way, and as I sit back, relax, and light the wick, I feel my worries slip away as the wax melts and the flame thickens.

MY NEW MAKE-UP BAG

Make-up is something that I wear most days which I love to do. Transforming my face and experimenting gives me immense satisfaction, and it’s just genuinely something I enjoy to do each day. As I sit down in-front of my mirror each morning and reach for my make-up bag, I get a feeling of happiness as I reach for my carefully picked pouch.

As make-up is something that means a lot to me, what I store it in means a lot, and to have something on display which I use all the time, is important to me as I love the way that things look and how they are designed.

HOW TO LOOK AFTER YOURSELF

There comes a time in everyone's lives, where you're moving, but you don't feel like you're living. You may think back to last week and not remember what you did. You might have just finished a crazy day at work and you haven't even taken a break.

Despite the fact that time moves quickly, after each day comes the next, so it's important to take time for yourself and this is one of the most important things that you can do. You will never get this time back and in order to be the best you, you have to check in once in a while.

My tips and advice below are things that work for me, but they may not necessarily work for you. My point is to show that there are things that you can do to feel like yourself again, and even if you aren't in need of a pick-me-up, it's still good to look after yourself.
