Thirsty Thursday: Skinny Girl Prosecco

There is a new girl in town and she is absolutely fabulous.

Available until New Years, Skinny Girl Prosecco is certainly a varietal you need to stock up on. 

I cannot deny that I fell in love upon first sip!

The Successful Woman: Career Advice from Hillary Kerr

thedecorista.tumblr.com

Want some solid career advice from a woman who has made it to the top? Hilary Kerr, founder of successful magazine shopping sites Who What Wear, dishes her best advice to Glamour Magazine:

1. Say yes to everything.

"I've done things that felt overwhelming at the time--like volunteering to go to Spain for a big story when I was just an assistant--but they turned out to be the most amazing learning experiences." 

2. Even though it's hard, try not to be the office gossip. 

Remember, every industry is small. 

3. Don't act entitled. 

"All that grunt work teaches you what goes into everything else, which will help you handle bigger projects when you move up".

4. Comparison is the death of happiness. 

"People get caught up in who gets what account and what assignment. Just focus on doing the best work that you can."

October Dreaming

"You create beauty with your attitude, your behaviors, your actions, it's all up to you."

I love the start of a new month. It's almost like a new year, I can tuck away all the things I failed to do the previous month and start over. Generally speaking, that's what I long to do this October, start over. The last couple of years have been chaotic and I've finally found myself in a situation where I can take a deep breath and start moving towards the direction of my dreams. For a long time I was plagued with stress and a weight that prohibited me from having motivation. The start of a new month is the perfect time to start acting on my daydreams and stop pouting!

Something We All Need to Learn How To Do: Accept Reality, Release Expectation

tumblr.com

"Let go of expectation. When you have expectations of something-a person, an experience, a job, a book, you put it in a predetermined box that has little to do with the reality. You set up an idealized version of the thing, (or person) and then try to fit the reality into this ideal, and are often disappointed. 

Instead--try to experience reality as it is. 

Appreciate it for what it is, and be happy that it is."
