ROUNDING UP 2017 HEY GUYS,I'M HAPPY TO END 2017 ON THIS NOTE... As the year draws to a close, it’s a great time to do an annual review. Take a moment for yourself to look back on your accomplishments, and plan for the year ahead. Some questions to think about: 1. In this past year, have I grown? As Will Smith says, “Don’t let success get to your head, and failure get to your heart.” Examine your triumphs and trials in the past year, as every success and failure is an opportunity for growth. 2. Have I used my time wisely? We all do it – sometimes after work, all we want to do is to put our legs up on the coffee table and Netflix the rest of the night away. As tempting as that may sound, how you spend your free time can actually have a huge influence over your career and your future. Instead of wasting that time, choose to do things with more purpose. Pick up a new skill, like coding or making a mobile application. Take classes, and invest in yourself. Read.

I'M HELEN! I figured some time has passed and by now there are surely more things I can share with you. Aside from anything else, I find this is always quite a good writing exercise – makes you take a good look at yourself and you often realise things about yourself when you write them down. So, here goes… HERE ARE  FEW THINGS ABOUT MYSELF I'LL LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU👩 1. I make note of words I don’t know and look them up later. 2. I always feel better with sneakers on. 3. I make beats with my mouth(interesting ones at that)😄. 4. I do not like anyone to be in charge of me, I love to do my stuff the way i want. 5. I have notebooks full of ideas I jot down and I think if I ever lost them, I’d be screwed. 6. I don’t often like to be around a lot of people. I like people, I just really enjoy my own company and solitude. 7. I love DAD than MOM(Don't tell her please)😛. 8. I still sing NURSERY RHYMES🙈. 9. I will always stand up for myself and get

THE PURPLE CHIC

Image
PURPLE!!! Hi guys!💜💜 This is going to be my first rant "as a purple chic" and i will be telling you what the colour really mean..... Having purple as your favorite colour means you are sensitive, compassionate, understanding and supportive, thinking of others before yourself - you are the person others come to for help - being needed motivates you but sometimes people take advantage of you. You are a gentle and free spirit. Your feelings run deep and you can be quite sensitive to hurtful comments from others, although you would never show it. Being a purple chic, you have a peaceful and tranquil quality and a quiet dignity about you. People are drawn to your charismatic and alluring energy. You are usually introverted rather than extroverted and may give the impression of being shy although this is not the case. You are creative and like to be individual in most of your endeavors, including your dress and home decoration - you love the unconventional. You

Nobody is you except YOU. Do you know😙   Your differences are like your greatest strength😶 Often times, the world both directly or indirectly tells us that we shouldn't be happy with ourselves if we don't have certain standards. This is a reminder that beauty isn't only one look, shape, size, or colour. IT ISN'T EVEN ALWAYS TANGIBLE.  It comes in an endless amount of forms and we need to recognise that.  You can do whatever you think of. There are things that certain women go through on a daily basis in order to feel loved or in order to love themselves. We get compliments like "you are too skinny, Do
