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

TAKING RISKS

Todays post goes back to the concept of this blog and the name of this site….

LOST MILLENNIAL.

Lately, I haven’t been writing cause i’ve just been thinking of a couple of things… 

University right? 

The expectation is to go to uni, study something you love, graduate in 2 years and go work in that field and be on top of the world and earn all the money in the world..

I don’t know about you but it definitely didn’t go that way for me..I went to uni for 4 YEARS!!! 4 YEARS I WILL NEVER GET BACK and just now i’m starting to realise what I want to do with myself. 

I know that I am a smart person, I am creative, I know my numbers, I know my english and writing skills and I know my business skills – I know that going to uni and wasting my life away at something that I don’t want to do just to get an A3 piece of paper, does NOT make me a smart or successful person and if that is your belief…then, I hate to tell you but you are limiting your potential and your own self belief..

Even though it took me 4 years out of high school, I have just now realised that I have my own unique talents…everyone does!

It’s just up to you to find that, and I promise you, you won’t find it if you force it or are scared to find it.

Earlier this year, I wanted to start my own business…but I didn’t, I was scared about money, I was scared that my idea wasn’t good enough and that I wouldn’t make it. I went to Europe and said to myself “as soon as I get back, I’m gonna start it”….and guess what?! 

I still didn’t start it.

And the other day, I just did it – without planning, without thinking I registered my business name and got to work. 

I know i’m going to make mistakes while doing this, I know it won’t be perfect but that doesn’t scare me….what scares me is going to university just go to university and come out with a degree that I don’t care about and then end up in some job that I hate and probably isn’t even relevant to my degree, for what? just to wallow away and say I coulda, shoulda, woulda?  HELL TO THE NO. 

The point is..

GO AND DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO…TAKE THE RISK! Don’t focus on everything that can go wrong, focus on everything that could go right!!

You take risks every day, crossing the road is taking a risk – so what’s stopping you from taking this risk?

You have your own talents that you can offer the world, don’t be scared to take the risk! Life is full of risks and if you don’t take it…

you could be missing out on something beautiful!! 

4 WAYS TO REBOOT YOUR LIFE

A lot of the habits and routines that we have are built from a very young age. 

Some of these rituals and routines serve us very well in life and other ones not so much, as they may begin to create barriers for us in our progress or relationships and as an adult we are solely responsible for our decisions and actions!!

It’s hard! but then again…what is easy?!

HERE ARE 4 WAYS YOU CAN BEGIN TO ALTER YOUR HABITS!

1. CREATE A VISION BOARD

I love vision boards! I think they are underrated! Creating a vision board will help you understand what you want out of life and the goals you want to achieve. Vision boards work hand in hand with the Law Of Attraction, let your imagination run wild, understand that there are no limits except the ones you put on yourself 

2. PRACTICE SELF CARE 

We give love and attention to the things we most care about. Practicing self care means taking care of ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Be kind to yourself and do those little extra things like taking care of your skin, your hair and positive self talk! They make a huge difference

3. WRITE DOWN THINGS YOU LOVE AND HATE ABOUT YOURSELF

This can be a hard one! I did this the other day and wrote down 15 things I love about myself and 4 things I hate about myself and guess what?! out of all the things I love about myself, I realise that on a regular basis I focus on the tiny amount of things that I hate about myself.  Start focusing on the things you love about yourself!!! 

4. JUST DO IT!

We all have things that we want to do, if it’s starting a business or start working out or to quit your job but are afraid of doing it! Stop worrying and do it!

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

HOW TO BE A BOSS BABE

Who doesn’t wanna be a boss babe right?!

Who doesn’t wanna walk around with your boss boots, strong personality and confident strut?!

A boss babe by nature is a confident, sexy and mysterious leader who deals with the every day challenges of life and makes people stop what they are doing when she enters the room.

They make great leaders in any walk of life and her stiletto means authority, her well fit blazer means “i’m here, bitches” and her structured dress means assertiveness!

A boss babe is known to be attractive, mysterious, sexy but doesn’t muck around! and if you are a babe who wants to spice up her wardrobe and have everyone stop and make way when you enter the room then you’ve found yourself at the right blog! (woohoo!)

No, you don’t have to change your personality to become a boss babe, only a few tweaks to your wardrobe will do the job!

1. CONQUER YOUR STYLE

Remember, a boss babe is a self assured woman who knows what she wants and how to get there! Only YOU can carry your clothes in a boss babe way! so open up that closet and throw out all your old clothes you don’t wear anymore and throw out all those clothes that drag you down! When you are conquering your style you want your clothes to lift you up and make you feel BADA$$ – when shopping for new clothes for your new boss babe outlook, only buy clothes that make YOU feel sexy and confident – you’re not dressing for anyone but you!

2. CONQUER YOUR BODY TYPE

A boss babe is confident in her own skin. They embrace their flaws and flaunt what they have – don’t buy a size 4 if you’re a size 8 and don’t buy a size 8 if you’re a size 12, choose your right size clothes! and dress for your body type! If you want to fit into a size 8, don’t sulk about it, do something about it!

3. ROCK YOUR ASSETS

Invest in clothes and pieces that give off a powerful aura, that type of aura that says “IM HERE BITCHES” A boss babe deserves what she wants, because she works hard for it! go and buy those tony biancos or those louboutins and show off your legs, highlight that tiny waist and that peachy booty! but…do it with respect! don’t go out in a tiny skirt to highlight your ass, a boss babe is a classy babe, understand your value

4. LOVE AND RESPECT YOURSELF!

Respect is gained by first respecting yourself! Educate yourself, be proud of who you are, set your goals and conquer them!

5. DATE A MAN WHO UNDERSTANDS YOUR VALUE

A boss babe has no time to deal with men who don’t treat her right and walk all over her, and in fact no woman should deal with that. A boss babe has no time for men who play games.
