Lesson 2: Breathe baby breathe | February

So you are finally getting over your January blues and already seeking those Summer months. February was always one of my favourite months, now it is one of the hardest. With awards season in full swing and in the midst of fashion week, February is not only about planning those career goals but also making peace with your mindset.

This past February was a little unexpected. 

I know Antartica was on top of my bucket list but I didn't expect to live and breathe it so soon.

Whilst the snow caused chaos and disruption in England, it also became a welcome distraction.

February is the month to take time out and breathe. The time to find your headspace. 

Whilst my February was filled with work work and more work, I also gave myself time to reflect and kept my head in the clouds. Reality never has to be as it appears. 

Surround yourself with people who understand this mantra. 

... because remember my darlings, you don't always have to keep your shit together.

Queen Elizabeth II- Making history

9th September 2015

Today marks the day that Queen Elizabeth II, monarch of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth realms, becomes our longest serving Queen. Bypassing Queen Victoria her 63 year reign has been filled with momentous events, both joyful and devastating, that have shaped our country today.

As head of our armed forces and head of the Church of England her iconic figure makes her one the most important, if not the most important, monarchs to ever rule our country. Her dedication, loyalty and willingness to serve her people is admirable, appreciated and a statement. We thank you for providing us with an identity and planting the United Kingdom and Commonwealth realms on the globe and in the prominence of todays society.
