THINGS TO LEAVE BEHIND IN 2019

There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.

C. S Lewis

A decade is ending its course. A new one is starting! As we get ready to ring in the new decade, I am sharing with you 4 roadblocks for us to put aside, in order to enter this new year in full force!

Self-doubt

Self doubt makes you think that you are not good enough, qualified enough to accomplish something! It can sometimes make you feel like a fraud, #impostorsyndrome, waiting for others to discover you as such. This feeling of uncertainty can be delibitating and when left unaddressed, it can go as far as paralyzing you in your day-to-day life! This new decade, let’s plan to be more confident in our God-given abilities! When you don’t feel confident, strong, enough, remember who called you, remember who put these abilities in you! It’s time to stop second-guessing yourself! It’s time to fully trust and rely on Him! 

Opinions of others 

This goes hand in hand with self-doubt. Might as well be its offspring! We care so much about what others think of us, about how we are portrayed as to others, that we begin to doubt ourselves and we are paralyzed when it’s time for us to make a decision! When we are not confident in ourselves, we let the opinions of others dictate our decisions. I love this quote from Michelle Obama, well acclaimed book “Becoming” : “If you don’t get out there and define yourself, you’ll be quickly and inaccurately defined by others.”

Don’t let the opinions of others define you, but be confident in what God says of you!

Comparison

I recently shared a post by Craig Groeschel on my Instagram stories about comparison. It says “The fastest way to kill something special is to compare it to something else.” I couldn’t have said it any better! 

With social media, it is so easy to compare!  We compare our relationship, our kids, our jobs, our bodies, our leisure time… We compare every single thing to what strangers on social media have perfectly, carefully curated! And we wonder why we are feeling depressed and unmotivated or (not sure what’s worse) animated by an unsatisfying quest of perfection! It is so easy to fall into this trap, and be ensnared in this culture of comparison!  Each one of us is unique! Time to embrace your uniqueness and do what only you are called to do! 

Procrastination 

I once heard of this quote by Les Brown: “The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.”  

So many big dreams that never see the light of day, all because we were LAZY! I am not even talking about being afraid of failure! No! Laziness!! We layed all day in front of the couch and nothing got done! Remember these words by Michael Landon “Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.

As we are entering this new decade, what are you planning to leave behind in 2019?

Until next time,

xoxo

3 MONOCHROMATIC LOOKS

Monochromatic: 

mon·o·chro·mat·ic
/ˌmänōkrəˈmadik/
adjective

containing or using only one color.

Oxford Dictionary

I love a monochrome look. I find that, when executed perfectly, a monochromatic outfit looks sophisticated but at the same time effortless! And that’s the vibe I love going for when planning my outfits!
For those not aware, a monochromatic look does not mean that you would wear a solid color from head to toe. While it’s not entirely false, you can wear different shades, tints and even textures of one color to give your outfit some depth and character!

In the video, I’ve created 3 monochromatic looks, using the colors Black, Cream and Rust!

Music: Wander by Ikson

I’ve linked each monochromatic outfit with similar styles that range from affordable to investment-worthy pieces, so you can recreate these outfits!

Outfit #1

Black chunky Sweater and black satin skirt

Outfit #2

Beige chunky sweater and cream leather skirt

Outfit #3

Silky rust blouse and rust trousers

Until next time,

CHEESE! MEATS! AND GOOD TIMES!

The holidays are my favourite time of the year. Family and friends gathered together and spending an awesome time together! And what better way to gather everyone than around a perfectly curated cheese and charcuterie board!
