How to Live a Life You Love and Love the Life You Live

How to Live a Life You Love and Love the Life You Live

Life is short. Choose to be happy.

We hear these phrases all the time. But the world was shaken by Kobe Bryant and his daughtersโ€™ recent and tragic deaths. It was a regular day, taking his daughter to basketball practive; nobody expected it. Did he get the chance to say his โ€œI love youโ€™sโ€ to his other daughters and wife before he left? Maybe not.

The reality is that we never know when God is going to call us home. It can happen in the most unexpected way, at the most unexpected time. Thatโ€™s why while we are here on Earth, I believe we should make sure that weโ€™re living a life that we love, and loving the life we are living.ย  READ MORE

Tips for a Strong, Confident New Year

Tips for a Strong, Confident New Year

*This post has been co-written along with Alex from The Berger Bungalow

Confidence.

As a woman, society teaches us that we are supposed to have confidence from day one. Our hair is supposed to be long and luscious, our faces are supposed to be blemish-free and glowing, and high heels are to be worn when dressing up. While we see this every day on TV and in movies, itโ€™s not natural. In fact, most of us struggle every day with self-confidence. Itโ€™s easy and seemingly normal to feel like we are not the best person for the job, not the most beautiful, or not the best partner, friend, or daughter. Itโ€™s become normal to compare ourselves and feel inadequate or not enough. Feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt can eventually lead to a state of depression if we keep believing these negative ideas about ourselves.ย  READ MORE

Everything You Know About Marketing Could Be Changing. Here’s How…

Everything You Know About Marketing Could Be Changing. Here’s How…

Customer relationships are replacing traditional marketing.

How are your relationships with your friends/followers? This is an important question to ask yourself regularly. It isn’t stressed enough how important it is to build relationships with other people. Do you respond back to people and engage with them when they comment on your post or reply to your story? Do you give authentic responses, or do you copy/paste your replies to save time? Putting a bit of thought and effort into your responses, and even responding AT ALL can make a huge difference. Maybe it’s even as simple as sending a direct message to someone you discovered saying hi and telling them how much you love their page. Human connection is BIG. READ MORE

The Reality of Instagram and Social Media

The Reality of Instagram and Social Media

Raise your hand if youโ€™ve ever seen a photo on Instagram and been envious of that person ๐Ÿ™‹ . It happens to me all the time. Sometimes it motivates me to do better, but sometimes I have to stop myself from comparing myself. This is becoming such a big issue with Instagram and other social media these days. Social media has become so standard today that itโ€™s practically unavoidable. Instead of being a place of comparison and jealousy, why canโ€™t it become a place of encouragement and inspiration? After all, thatโ€™s what itโ€™s SUPPOSED to be, right?! READ MORE
