Summer days

Mid Year Evaluation

So it’s the 21st of June 2015.This means two things summer is officially here and secondly  approximately six of the twelve months of 2015 have elapsed. I don't know about you but this year has been a particularly challenging one for me but alas I press on. I wanted today to do a little evaluation. Most companies do quarterly or Bi annual evaluation and I believe that we should also employ this strategy to our  personal lives. Do you remember the goals you had on the January the 1, 2015? Are you any closer to them?

It’s time to ask ourselves a few real questions.

Where do I spend most of my time/money?

How far am I from the goals I set out to complete this year?

What are some of the obstacles that have prevented me from attaining them ? 

If you have completed specific goals

What has assisted you in being successful?

If you aren’t where you want to be, don’t be disheartened you still have six months. Use this evaluation as a guide. Where are you wasting time and energy .The first step in fixing a problem is identifying the issues. I know it can be a challenge to many to see things as they are. Especially if they are not what we want them to be, however deluding yourself will not change the situation? After identifying the areas for development the next step is the hardest. Making the relevant change, the only thing constant is change and if you continue to do what you’ve always done. You’ll continue to get the same result. Also please do not focus solely on your shortcoming or the opposite your achievements. Try to list the areas of strength and weakness. Have a clear and accurate view of your current position so you can chart a way forward.

I hope this was helpful and I want to encourage you to keep on working. I will leave with you a few songs of encouragement.

Summer Style 2

If anyone asked what was my go to hairstyle I would definitely say braids. Protective styles are my forte. I love them because they last  a reasonably long time and require little maintenance.I have tried almost everyone in the book for the previously mentioned reasons. My favorite is definitely box braids as an employed student I don't have a lot of time  and this helps me save on time.

 Summer is fast approaching ,time to step out in bold, bright playful looks. Today  I will be sharing with you two simple summer looks. Living in the tropics it's practically always summer but when June july rolls around it bring a new dimension of heat. So here's some looks that will keep you cool.

Summer Reading List

Today I wanted to share a few of my favourite books with you, hoping this will inspire you to take up a book or two this summer. Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. I have always been an avid reader  and to be honest it was forced on me as a child however  today it’s something I quite enjoy. Gone are the days when reading was limited to having a physical copy of a book there are audio books and app like wattpad that makes keeping up with your reading list that much easier.I will always prefer having the physical book though audio books do have there advantages.Here are a few of my favourite books.

Weekend Recap 3

Hi guys I hope june has been treating you well so far.I also hope that you are excited, for the summer months I will be posting twice weekly.  One will be my summer feature,where to go what to do.Basically a how to optimise your summer guide . Now on to the meat of the matter. The other night I went out with a few members of my dance group,and we had a blast.Funny story the headband  I wore  had dry rotted. The last time I wore it was around my birthday last year. Here how I fixed it. I cut a thin stip out of an old panty hose (stocking) and I tied it  to each end of the metal frame it held it in place and blended with my hair. So the next time you are in a similar predicament grab some stockings.For our night out the dress code was maxi heres what I came up with.

this is how I usually style crop tops with a maxi or high waisted skirt

Learn something new. What is it that you wish you could do, but you are not sure how to do it? Now is the perfect time to learn for me I will dedicating a few hours a week to improve my French.

Over the past couple of months Kingston Jamaica has seen a diversification of entertainment options and I am very excited, for instance I have never been bowling, I fully intend to change that this summer .There are a few other places on my to visit list. It doesn't have to be somewhere new or expensive. Also if you have nieces, nephews or younger siblings take them a long and get some bonding time in as well.
