Happy Monday everyone! How was your weekend?
I am starting the week with a very dreamy post. Back when the New Year started I made a wish/resolution. In 2014 I dream to be happy. That one little word holds so much in it. For me being happy means that everyone in my family and among my friends are healthy, that my blog is growing and doing better every day, that my life is full of laughter, excitement and of course, peace.
I have always been a big believer in the power of dreaming. The biggest dreams of my life have always included music and fashion. Not many of you know this but I have wanted to become a professional singer for the most part of my life. Hard work and lots of vocal exercises secured me a place on the National TV channel back home where I was participating in a singing reality show. It was a bit like a mix of X-Factor and Big Brother. We would live under the cameras 24/7 and perform live every Saturday. I spent two months on the show and although I didn't win it I will never forget that experience. I was able to do the thing I love the most. I was singing (and I still do).
My second dream has always been to be a part of the fashion world. To be more specific, I wanted to work for one of the most famous fashion magazines. And those of you who know me, know that it wasn't easy but I made it. I can probably write a book on how to get in, prove yourself and secure a place in a magazine. So any of you who would like some tips don't hesitate to e-mail me. I went from being on two weeks work experience to an Acting Retail and Market Editor of ELLE UK magazine in a year. That's the power of dreams for you guys.
So you are probably wondering why am I starting this week by talking about my dreams? It's because I've received the greatest dreaming reminder from Winky Designs. It's a fun, young and emerging fashion watch and accessory brand based in Las Vegas. Their Words of Wisdom watch collection aims to inspire you to dream bigger, love deeper, laugh louder, believe candidly and hope freely. You can choose the inspiration that you need the most and wear it on your wrist. I chose to DREAM.
