With the first half of 2016 now complete, I reviewed my 2016 ‘resolutions’ post – ‘Things I want to say yes to‘ and found the following: 1. Attend the Australian Open (Achieved – although I missed out on Federer). 2. Attend the F1 Race in Melbourne (Achieved). 3. Spend at least a week in the snow (Partially achieved – Ski trip to Korea booked for Jan 2017). … Continue reading Half Year Review
It’s been awhile since I did one of these, probably because I haven’t finished acquiring everything from Wishlist 1 and Wishlist 2. Anyway there’s a number of items I’ve upgraded to a buy rating over the coming months. 11. Louis Vuitton Monogram Gradient Scarf I’ve decided an update to my scarf game is in order. As such, I’ve selected this navy monogram scarf from Louis … Continue reading The Wishlist 3
When it comes to just about anything, new and exciting are great. Yet this means nothing without the constants in your life. For clothes these constants could represent your excellence centre. For food, I don’t have a nice encapsulating name but there are still a number of food places which I use as my measuring stick. Like most people, I enjoy going out for a … Continue reading Consistency and Dependibility
Clothes are one of the simplest ways of expressing ourselves. In most cases these expressions revolve around sentiments such as freedom, success or individuality. Yet, if both of these statements are true, then why do we all have purchases we regret? In many cases, the answer probably includes the phrase ‘because it was on sale.’ This is where we have made our first mistake. The simple reason … Continue reading The Secret to Buying Clothes
My dad always told me that to be rich and successful, ‘you’ve got to go out on your own.‘ Growing up, I always took this to mean that success was all about being your own boss or creating your own company. As I’ve come to realise, ‘success’ is not limited to being an entrepreneur as there are many ways to be considered successful. However, no matter … Continue reading Judgement Day
To use a pop culture reference, it goes without saying that Kanye West and Taylor Swift currently define the term #Squadgoals (which is why High Snobiety says they are one and the same – link here). There’s also no denying the benefits having famous BFFs bring to the table. After all, much like a successful business relies on its staff to realise the dreams of its leaders, … Continue reading #Squad Goals
Everyone knows that as we get older, life gets infinitely more complicated. With each ‘milestone’ comes another dimension which gives rise to another set of situations where the decisions you make, will ultimately leave us feeling compromised and not entirely happy. However, if you can follow and achieve what I am going to dub The Happiness Equilibrium, you may just be able to escape this fate. So … Continue reading The Happiness Equilibrium
After my holiday arc and a book review, I thought it would be nice to delve back into a personal development and/or career post. For many people, finding the ‘right’ job is always a struggle. If you’re like me and have ever wondered if you’re in the right job, consider the idea of the three C’s. I found this to be a simple yet effective way to … Continue reading The Three C’s
As some of you might know, I like to collect things but I’m very picky about it. This need to collect things stretches from shortlisting designers from whom I will covert items, to making a top 3 of who I place on a pedestal and allow anything they say to be ‘law.’ I was always interested in what Steve Jobs had to say but despite … Continue reading Filling the Void
As I indicated in Part 2, Part 3 will consist of elephants and areas I would have liked to have visited if I had more time. With that in mind, our journey for Part 3 begins with a van ride out of Kandy and on to Pinnawala. PINNAWALA Pinnawala is an Elephant orphanage located between Colombo and Kandy. About 80 elephants call Pinnawala home and it … Continue reading Serendipity – Part 3 Conclusion
