New Years Resolutions


Christmas is over and it's that time of the Year to make a few plans for the coming months! I'm not the one to say 'New Year, New Me' because I think changes can be made within you every day and I'm always the one with the notebook writing small plans and ideas. I think taking the time to plan is very important, you should always want to become better than yesterday, do something different, even if it's a very small note - it's all a step forward. One of my New Year Resolutions is to look after myself more, don't over work and create a balance within my work and a healthier lifestyle. It might sound a little selfish, but if you don't take care of yourself, no one else will! I'll surely be topping up on new supplements, vitamins, plan more workouts and try out more of a variety of food. As you can tell by this post I've also been shopping for healthier snacks as I'm terrible for sweets, so I found some great replacements for my lunch breaks :)

WRITE IT DOWN

Once it's in your notebook/ipad/phone it's already an idea, it also makes it much easier to go back to it because we've all been there forgetting it at the end of the day. Whether it's a small 'Jog with Honey' note or 'Cut down on chocolate' more of an overall note, it all becomes a focus at the back of your mind.

ONE BY ONE

Always focus on one idea at once, if you give yourself too much to handle it's very easy to then forget everything all together! Let's face it, we've all been there where a nap seems so much more appealing than doing that essay/project for work. But I promise, if you give yourself a 'Tuesday 10am-12pm' to sort out one thing you will suprise yourself how much you can actually get done. Plan by exact day and hour if you can, that way you can just tick it off and focus on your next step.

STAY POSITIVE

I know it sounds so cliche, but honestly it all comes down to how you see it. It's never really as bad as you make it out to be, yeah we all ate too much for Christmas oh well, today is a new day and let's make a change right now, for yourself. If you look back on today two years from now you will wish you started today, two years is a long time to learn, experience and live right?

ENJOY

The most important thing is, do it because you want to. Do what really makes you happy inside, this is why I personally love a healthy lifestyle it gives me a sense of freedom, control and inner happiness. You don't have to starve or be in the gym 24/7 you just need a balance, a new notebook and yourself. You can do it, if I can!

Hope you enjoyed this post and look forward to many more Fitness and Health related posts for the New Year! I'd like to take this moment to thank all the brands and people I go to work with this Year, I am forever grateful and can only wish to expand for 2016.  I hope you will enjoy my little fitness journey, blog posts and videos for the New Year as I have lots planned for us! 

Love,

Day In The Life - Finery London, Brunch & Blogger Meet

Good afternoon my lovelies, this time I decided to post a little earlier than usual and may catch you on your lunch break or on your way home from work. 
Just wanted to take you through my day and share some photos of the places I went to. I started my day by attending a lecture at Uni & catching up with my tutor about my project. (only two months left?!)Before I knew it I was back on the train to London to meet my babe Chariza for lunch, we were both a little hungry so got some coffee and some delicious food at The Hoxton restaurant.
It's such a cute cosy place, the sofas really make you want to stay and 'chill' like the rest of the people there. Some were having meetings, some were chatting away on their phones while sipping coffee. 
Just a few shots of what we were both wearing, we both subconsciously chose to stick to comfortable and classic greys, whites and blacks.
Chariza always looks good even when she was staying warm haha, love her monochrome look. Take a look at her blog and read about her opinion on our day at www.le-visualiste.blogspot.co.uk
Later that day around 2pm we went to the Tradedoubler Event, how cute are our passes?! :')
I really enjoyed the presentations on Trends, Brands and upcoming strategies. Everyone was enjoying a glass of juice or coffee while watching these, me and Chariza were so glad we went.
To end our day around 6pm we walked down Covent Garden to find this cute pop up store for Finery London. If you haven't yet you must check them out, their clothing and accessories are affordable yet super stylish and edgy.
I really enjoyed the day it was nice catching up with Chariza and visiting these places. Hope this post isn't too long and boring for ya'll haha
Let me know what you think and if you want me to do more posts like these!
Love, Skai x

Grey London

Hello lovelies! Hope everyone is having a great week and looking forward to London Fashion Week??
As you can see it is raining in London, as always :D but that didn't stop me and my friend Chariza from attending a few events and stores. We shot a few outfit photos so let me know what you think of this outfit!

I might blog about the event and shops we visited in the next post as you probably know I don't like overcrowding one post, I feel like it's so easy to lose interest or understand what's going on. 
Jumpsuit - AX Paris
 Black Coat - Vintage
 Boots - River Island
They were perfect for the weather! No wet socks or feet at the end of the day is always a good sign haha.
Hope you guys enjoyed this quick outfit post! Keep an eye on some events & stores in my next post!
By the way who's off to LFW? Might bump into you!
Love, Skai x
