It may come as no surprise, but I have made some New Year’s resolutions this year, and I’m planning to stick to them… pinky promise! *cough cough* fried chicken every now and then *cough cough* fried chicken every day *cough cough*
This year, unlike any other year, I’m planning to do things my own way. After working for a number of clients and brands alike, I’ve decided to take all that knowledge and turn it into something worthwhile.
Apart from that, there are several other things that I want to achieve this year. One of them is to become teetotal. *awkward silence* Like, seriously, go from the T to the total and that’s not me getting into this #DryJanuary craze. In the past, I’ve done several long-term detox periods, which have come to an end after my decision to go just for ‘one’ drink… and we all know that there’s no such thing as going for ‘one’ drink (ha, silly me). I’m still keen to keep my social life going as it is, however, this time I’m feeling much more determined and willing to witness my mates go drunk dumpster-diving with my sober eyes. Party!
Secondly, I want to stay more connected with my close friends and family. I feel like in the last few years I wasn’t as connected with my family as I should be. Those rare Skype calls once a month are really not enough, and my overall happiness reflects that. Time is the most valuable thing you can give to someone, and sharing that with the ones you love is priceless.
Last, but not least, 2017 is all about having that hot body. Not sure about my diet plans (back to the coughing part), but I’m keen to boost some daily protein intake and pump it like my rent is due. *puts on Flex by Fifth Harmony*
Moody January vibes… well, sort of.
Today, I’m channelling moody January vibes… or as my best friend Alex would like to call it – the signature Mr. Salt and Pepper look. That’s mainly because of this structured overcoat I’m wearing, get it? *rolls eyes*
The overall look has been put together from the Boxing Day sale items (yikes). After series of Twitter rants and moans about global capitalism and the 90s gay icon Melania Trump, I’ve decided to scout for some bargain on the high street. As you can see, money well spent! *avoids checking the credit card balance*
