Half of me wants to become a corporate baddie who claws my way to the top and creates incredibly insightful pieces of work and becomes renown in her industry as a trailblazer and an intellectual,
and the other half of me just wants to be a beautiful wife decked in Lululemon and designer goods, driving my Lexus to Pilates class, drinking green juices, taking tennis lessons, getting hydrafacials, and being an active community member in charity events and private school events for my future kids.
Pilates, lemon drops, Italy, yachts, French tips, Dior lipgloss, designer handbags, warm days, pasta, feet in the Amalfi Coast waters.
I’m ready for vibes.
i now understand why all the it girls do it. pilates is THAT girl.

The 7 Day #IChooseMe Challenge
The next seven days, choose YOU.
Choose yourself.
Prioritise yourself.
Take care of yourself.
If you’ve been feeling lost lately, or life has been off track - this challenge is great to bring you back on track.
It helps you have some structure in your life, while allowing you to have fun and plenty of spare time.
I am not a therapist or a doctor. Take this advice as you would from a friend.
With this challenge, you’ll feel a little more fulfilled, happier, and you’ll have a set routine.
You only have to accomplish 6 small goals a day for 7 days to finish this challenge.
