New year……new beginnings? And all that other said things that comes with it.
The first thing i’ve had to do is leave New Years Resolutions as a thing of the past as in reality nothing i’m ever trying to achieve convientantly starts on 1st january apart from fad diets following the festive feastings. And that right there is the problem, i’ve constantly approached New Year Resolutions like many of my failed diets as a ‘fad’ or ‘quick fix’ that never last long….At ALL. And i now realise the moment you set your self up to approach what should be a lifestyle goal as quickie its always bound for failure.
This time ive sat down and thought about my long term lifestyle, goals, choices which i’ve always had and then refined and listed how i intend to get closer to them throughout this year.
In addition for the first time i’ve done a vision board which has been around for years. Oprah is constantly sharing her story about vision boards with ‘Envision your best life‘ and obviously she’s is quite amazingly successful so thought id give it a go and see how it helps me over the course of the year. A vision board is meant to work as a visual daily reminder of what your working towards rather than a one off resolution.
Some things i put down on mine are stepping stones to a bigger picture not just 2012. I split it into career, personal development and lifestyle. Some things are gradual changes, others more immediate or even a bit materialistic but its about what i want to achieve which is the only thing that matters.
I chose to create mine online HERE so i can always access it wherever i am. There’s loads of other ways to do one, you could use word, paper & magazine cut outs or other websites.
Of course i had to add in some leopard print Christian Louboutins……..if anyone is willing to donate to my one pair collection HOLLA

Last month I took a trip to vegas for one of my besties (Antoinette or Annie as i call her) 25th birthday!
Now considering I had just stopped 2 of my biggest freelance jobs it probably wasnt the wisest or most responsible thing to go to Vegas and spend a huge chunk of money without securing the next job!!
But hey you only live once!
Or at least that’s what I reminded myself to justify my trip…….
Annie packed 15 pairs of shoes for a 5 day trip :-S
We stayed at the MGM Hotel
Which had a lions cage (i dont promote animal cruelty but its fur/skin would make for a hot jacket)
Had lots of these
Birthday Girl
Went to the (overrated but beautiful) TAO with an (overrated) que & women in bathtubs like this:
Hit up The Cosmopolitan where id stay when i go again (i won nothing)
As you can see i grew a lil belly cos id been eating breakfasts like these for 5 days
wondered across a bridge and 2 escalators in heels to what looked like Aladdin’s palace
Mall

Bon Voyage

You know you keep the right company when these are the books between us for our flight!
So this is actually not my first blog!
My first attempt was 3 years ago in the form of ‘Pilar Relations’ during my year placement at Warner Music. The plan at the time was to document the life of an intern in the music industry, however things got so manic that I only ever managed one post :-S
Looking back at the ‘About Me’ section though i realise my aspirations havent really changed just broadened! I still LOVE music but im no longer limited to it.
But it’s good to see wise words from a younger me…….“Never lay your eggs in one basket” something i still stand by today and embrace more so than ever.
Since then i’ve discovered the wonderful world of social media mainly covering it for music artists. I’ve always maintained my interest in having my own business however never had a sustainable idea. And now they’ve been a few shifts in my life i intend to embrace the change and use the time to experiment with all things ‘Business + Social media’ while keeping it creative and this time intend to keep up with documenting my experience.
