UPDATE ON LIFE

Wow, It’s been a really long time since I have written anything!

Last time I wrote was November 25th 2018!!! Can you believe we are already half way through January of 2019!!! What is even going on?!

The reason why I logged back into my blog today is because I am currently in the process of making my 2019 vision board!

I know it has only been 2 months since I wrote anything, but in those 2 months a lot has happened! I have travelled with Will a couple of times, Christmas and New Years have obviously happened and I have started my own business!!

Yep! That’s right! I have started my own swimwear label – TAQESCH!

How exciting?!?!?!?!!?!

TAQESCH embodies the seductive and sophisticated look of swimwear. My vision for this label is to inspire all women around the world to embrace their inner goddess/lioness and to feel exotic, spicy and confident!!

I have spent hours creating beautiful designs, creating my own website and sourcing quality fabric to help women feel amazing all summer long.

I am currently in the process of getting samples made and TAQESCH should be launching later on this year, and when I get a launch date I will be sure to post it!!

With all of this business planning going on, I have kind of forgotten about writing and I was making my vision board and one of the things I put on there was a photo of my blog page. I don’t want to stop writing, I love writing and I know I am good at it!

I don’t know what i’m going to write about yet, if it’s going to be “how to” posts or fitness posts or personal development posts but all I know is that I will make more of an effort to keep writing this year!!!

And, on that note, I am off to the gym now! haha

Thankyou to all of my readers who have constantly supported me and keep up with my blog, I looked at my statistics page and I still see people on my blog even though I haven’t written in 2 months – and that means so much to me and fuels me to write more!! So thankyou for that!!

I hope everyone is having an awesome day wherever you are in the world and let me know down below what posts you want to see more of!!

Much love xxx

10 QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO ANSWER TO FIND YOUR PASSION IN LIFE

The past couple of days i’ve been feeling a bit lost and been asking myself the question “What the hell am I doing?!” what’s new?

I find when you ask such a huge question, it makes it more difficult to answer! The “what am I doing” question is such a broad question and can relate to so many different aspects of life. It can relate to your career, your relationships, your fitness, your health, your finances etc.

I found these thought provoking questions which can narrow your BIG “what am I doing” question down and hopefully help you find an answer!!

1. WHO INSPIRES YOU?

Some of us are inspired by athletes, some of us are inspired by life coaches, some of us are inspired by actors or models – find out who inspires you and what attracts you to their talent

2. WHAT DO PEOPLE USUALLY THANK YOU FOR

We all have greatness within us – some people are good at making others laugh, some people are good at making business decisions. What do people thank you for?!

3. IF YOU WERE SITTING IN THE AUDIENCE OF YOUR OWN FUNERAL, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT OTHERS TO SAY

We all know life is short, what do you want your story to be? How do you want people to remember you? In the face of death, fear, failure, embarrassment, money and pride disappears!

4. IF YOU HAD A WHOLE DAY TO BROWSE THE INTERNET WHAT WOULD YOU BROWSE?

If it’s houses, property may be your passion. If it’s books, writing may be your passion. If it’s movies, producing or directing may be your passion

5. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU GOT SO IMMERSED INTO SOMETHING YOU LOST TRACK OF TIME, WHAT WERE YOU DOING?

For me, it’s writing – Sometimes I am writing and I look up and 3 hours have passed. To discover your passion, you have to know what consumes your entire being.

6. WHAT SUBJECTS DO YOU DEFEND, WHAT ARE YOUR BELIEFS ABOUT THOSE SUBJECTS?

What we stand for shows that we are willing to solve a problem

7. HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR LEISURE TIME? WHAT DO YOU IMMERSE YOURSELF IN TO

Your hobbies and interests show what you can and want to do

8. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHEN YOUR FEELING EXCITED, SATISFIED, RELAXED AND BEAUTIFUL AT THE SAME TIME?

We all have moments where we are at the peak of life and feel on top of the world

9. WHAT PROBLEM DO YOU WANT TO SOLVE

What problem can you solve? To know your passion you must be able to solve a problem faced by many people

10. WHAT MAKES YOU AFRAID OF THE NEXT GENERATION

What do you think should happen with what causes havoc such as terrorism, climate change, poverty, drugs – what are you most attracted to changing

THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL THING TO REMEMBER

I’m very sensitive when it comes to emotions and experiences – some may see it as a fault.

There are times when I go through experiences and emotions where I 100% believe the universe is trying to talk to me. I wholeheartedly believe that i’m here for a reason, and everything I go through, I go through for a reason. I am quite the emotional person, and I dig deeper whenever something emotional happens to me.

OK, SO WHAT’S THE POINT?

The point i’m trying to get across is, life is not about your job, and honestly – no one cares how much money you make or where you went to school, or what you graduated with, or what car you drive – these are all surface level assets and matters.

If I meet someone new and they boast to me about what job they have and what car they drive, I immediately get the impression that you don’t value things in life and you’re an arrogant piece of poo.

MY VALUES..

What do I value in life?

Love – My relationship

My family

Honesty

Laughter

Respect

I believe love is the most fundamental thing in life – why? Love is not something that we see or read, it is the most raw thing we come across in life, it is beyond anyones imagination. Love heals broken hearts, it brings positive energy, it connects people, it builds happiness and beats sadness, anger and sufferings. No one on earth can live a fulfilling life without love.

When you go to a funeral (sorry to be morbid) but, what do people say about the passing of the other?

Do they talk about how rich they were? No

Do they talk about what car they drove? No

Do they talk about how many degrees they had? No

They talk about how they made you laugh, they talk about what a genuinely good person you were and how they made you feel appreciated and loved.

This is what people remember you for…

 

So, just be a good person

Know that how you treat others matters.

Anything can happen tomorrow.
