Well, it appears I have taken a bit of a hiatus from writing again, which is rather funny because this semester I am in a number of writing classes, in which we are encouraged to practice our writing quite often. I miss my regular posts, so I am going to get back at it again and continue with my previous weekly posts. I am currently taking a break from studying for a quiz I have tomorrow and I am actually enjoying the ambiance I have going on in my dorm room at the moment. I have my favourite, Frank Sinatra playing in the background, a number of heavenly smelling candles lit along the window sill and a nice big cup of pepper-mint tea. Nothing can really beat some good music and some cozy candles. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With the first month of classes finished and the colder weather on its way, what could be better then sitting down with a pumpkin spice latte, your cozy fall clothes and a new book? I was recently in a Toronto Chapters and I quickly found myself walking up to the check out with an assortment of books-- both new titles and old. If you have read any of them already, let me know what you thought! Enjoy.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, after a very painfully long hiatus, I am finally back and ready to write. And what better timing than now with Summer eagerly around the corner. Of course, as per my usual blog posts, I am going to share with all of you some of my summer essentials and must haves! Enjoy.</span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Neon Essentials</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whether it's a heel, a girly clutch, or an eye catching bright pink blazer, no summer wardrobe should be absent of this season's loudest and funnest trend. I have picked up a few summer dresses and accessories in an assortment of neon shades, so all I need is some sun!</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Playful Pastels</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;">Pastels are great for summer, especially when you are rocking a tan. Try a pair of pastel skinnis, or even a fun summer dress. I grabbed a pair of sky blue skinnis and a mint dress from HM and I absolutely love them!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;">Whether its a lengthy maxi dress, or a pair of cute high waisted shorts, implement some fun patterns and prints into your summer collection. I settled for a few printed rompers which will be perfect for a upcoming BBQ or outdoor concert.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;">Lace has been a growing trend for a little while now, but why not continue rocking it into the summer months? During a past trip to Seattle, I grabbed a quarter sleeve lace dress which looks awesome when paired with a coral blazer. Lace can definitely be worn from day to night, when accessorized accordingly!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Last summer, while interning with Vancouver Fashion Week, I was fortunate enough to interview and meet a talented, local designer named Rimpy Sahota. The first thing I noticed about Rimpy was her grace, elegance, charm and beauty. She was so kind and warm and we have managed to keep in-touch ever since.These characteristics are easily apparent in Rimpy's personal fashion collection, Aorta. Rimpy's collection is flourishing and her career is taking off. As a aspiring, young and local designer I needed to share her talent, inspirations and passions with the world.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Rimpy’s inspiration to design came from her mother, who constructed garments from scratch when Rimpy was a child and Rimpy would sit and watch her for days at a time.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">Before entering the world of fashion design, Rimpy attended university for five years and majored in both Accounting and Finance. Rimpy worked for a large firm as an auditor but found she was always looking at the clock, wanting something more out of her career. This led Rimpy to designing.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">She aspires to design beautiful collections for classy women who have a fine taste for beauty.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">Her collection Aorta comes from metamorphosis of love, survival and independence. It is these three words that Rimpy believes every woman can re</span>late to. Aorta is based upon that fact that I want women to feel beautiful in their own skin. Every woman, no matter age, color, shapes; every woman is beautiful. Rimpy’s designs and the free flowing fabrics which she uses are those which every woman will feel beautiful in. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Rimpy has been designing clothing since she was a little girl. When she was five years old, she would cut holes of out of her mother’s scarves and created chiffon dresses for her dolls. Rimpy believes that the beauty of fashion is something I strongly feel that someone is born with. You either are obsessed with it or do not care for it. Some say it is “fashion” but I believe it is having a keen eye for beauty and the beauty which lies in how a garment can make someone love themselves<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">. </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Rimpy looks up to some pretty memorable designers and finds inspiration from </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Karl Lagerfeld, Eli Saab, Sarah Burton and Givenchy, I enjoy the femininity and story which is told in each of their collections. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am currently sitting in a small Starbucks, located near my university and I cant help but feel slightly annoyed that their is a mixture of rain and snow currently falling on the other side of the window. As much as I love snow and as a true Vancouverite I should be used to the rain, I am just really looking forward to Spring and dressing in accordance to the warmer weather. With that being said, I wanted to share some of my must have items for Spring 2012!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So as promised, I was able to get in touch with a friend who is not just beautiful on the inside and the outside, she is a hard working chick, who has more than a thing or two to share with everyone about working hard and seeing results in the gym. Kelly has already competed in a figure competition before and placed second</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"> in bikini tall and qualified for BC'</span><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 14px;">s</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; text-align: left;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and soon to be in another one this year! Kelly's passion and </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">hard-work</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> has </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">definitely</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> paid off and she is hands-down my workout inspiration!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So with my whole "Fitness Feb" plan, I knew I had to ask Kelly some questions that were not only of importance to me, but to other females as well. Meet Kelly everyone!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>1. What is your favorite form of cardio exercise?</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">-I'd have to go with the step mill. I'd be lying if I said it was my favorite, but it's definitely the most effective!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><i>2. What is your favorite post workout snack or meal?</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">-Protein! Protein! Protein! I like to get my protein intake from food rather than a shake or supplements. I often prepare a post-workout meal before going to the gym so that it's ready for me when I'm home. (The worst is being hungry and having to force yourself to take the time to make something healthy). So getting back to your question.. I love Cajun chicken. When I'm training, my diet is very restricted so I love finding things with lots of flavor. I'll cook up a bunch and prepare meals for the next day or two.</span></span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><i>3. Who do you most look up to, or who inspires you?</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">- My mom is the <a href="http://www.suitlady.ca/">'the suit lady'</a> a well known fitness/bikini seamstress and designs custom suits for a good majority of the competitors. I was inspired by all the beautiful, strong and fit women I'd see coming to my house daily for fittings. I also look up to a lot of Bikini pro's. They're all so determined and seem so positive. It takes a lot of self discipline and you have REALLY want it!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 14px; text-align: left;"> </i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 14px;"><i>4. Do you prefer to work out alone or with a partner?</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 14px;">-I don't mind either, depending on the partner. Having someone to workout with who pushes you and wants a good workout too definitely makes a leg day and 45 minutes on the step mill more enjoyable! You can feed off one-another's energy and keep it fun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">- I love a killer glute exercise! Just like every other girl constantly wanting to tone and improve their butt! My favorite would have to be glute kick-backs. You hook one ankle up to a set of cables while your other foot is firmly planted on a platform. Then you hold onto the bar in front of you, lean forward and kick your leg back. It works wonders!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><i>6. What is your favorite work out mix or song to keep you focused and motivated?</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">- I love anything upbeat and listen to a lot of RAC mix's. Right now on my "GTL" mix, I've got a lot of David Guetta, Calving Harris and Rihanna's Talk that Talk album. I also love Flo Rida's new song featuring Sia- Wild one.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><i>7. If you could offer anyone working out or getting more into fitness, what advice would you give them?</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">- I would say don't get discouraged. Stick with it and YOU WILL see changes and begin to love it. I feel that girls, especially, want to see a difference in a week and turn negative when they don't see results instantly. You have to be patient and trust that what you're doing is working and it will pay off. Just keep pushing yourself and stay positive. I used to remind myself that time is going by whether I go to the gym and eat healthy, or not. Everyone has had that summer where they wished they had jumped on the 'healthy bandwagon' a few months earlier. Now is that time! Do it this year!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">-I mentioned earlier how much I love Cajun chicken mostly because it's so flavorful. I have to admit, having a healthy diet can be painfully repetitive and plain so I'm constantly trying new things and switching up my meals. I recently started eating Sushi. Its the perfect `fast-food</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 14px;">' fix when your`re on the go and SO healthy and affordable too.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 14px;">-Competing in a fitness show was amazing and felt empowering. I loved it! My goal was to simply compete and feel confident on stage. After training for 4 months prior to the show, being on stage and accomplishing my initial goal was so satisfying. I ended up taking 2nd in bikini tall and qualified for BC`s.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">10. What was your favorite part about competing</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 14px;">?</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 14px;">-I love having things to work towards and this was definitely a challenge. Nothing feels better than accomplishing a goal you have set for yourself. There were times along the way when I`d get discouraged and when I finally got on stage I was so proud of myself for sticking with it. I just felt SO good!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 14px;"><span style="font-size: large;">I can`t wait to compete again this June and when I feel myself getting down, I just think back to how I felt on stage last year. What it took to get there and how it was all worth it.</span></span></div>

This morning as I was walking out to my car to head to work, I noticed that my mom's spring flowers were starting to grow! This was exciting because I immediately started thinking about Spring and then Summer as well of course. With the warmer months around the corner, I thought I would share some of my Spring must haves! Enjoy:)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well this work week has come to an end.. so lets bring on the weekend! I had reading break this week, so I planned on doing some homework, running errands, gyming, shopping.. those sort of things, but I actually ended up working almost every day! I shouldn't complain though, more money in the bank to spend on new Spring items! Whether you are taking it easy, or dancing the night away, have a fabulous weekend!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Well, Valentines Day has come and gone.. and so have the delicious assortments of treats and snacks...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">When you are feeling like you have hit a wall and you are in need of a pick me up.. are you the type to reach for the chips and cookies or do you reach for some fresh fruit and veggies? I will admit, I am human and sometimes find myself tempted by the first options, but we owe it to ourselves to say no and reach for the healthier option. Snacks are not meant to be mini-meals. They are supposed to tide you over until your next meal. The silver lining? They can actually help you achieve a slimmer shape, if chosen correctly. Snacks prevent overeating come mealtime. I honestly snack all throughout the day. It helps me stay satisfied. (Don’t you always make the worst diet decisions when you’re famished? I most defiantly do.) Needless to say, instead of starving yourself between each meal, have a nutritious snack. It will help get your metabolism pumping and your body burning calories too. And if you throw in a form of exercise or physical activity, you are golden!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This Spring, I am looking forward to trying out the trend, the New Romantics. New Romantics is the evolution of Springs 2011, Tough Love. Throughout the transformation of Tough Love, the tough-work wear/military inspiration is dropped completely and we are now left with just the love. The focus being primarily soft, romantic, feminine and very vintage inspired. Be on the lookout for whites, creams, oatmeal and other soft colors. Florals are the main print and lace and crotchet details are a must. You can try this trend out in many ways. I just bought a eyelet lace dress and I absolutely adore it. I can't wait for the warmer weather to try it out!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I hope every one's week has started off nicely and how can you complain when we have nothing but sunshine lined up in our weather forecast? Definitely has me thinking about going to the beach, jean shorts and barbeque's.. ahhh I cannot wait! With Summer slowly creeping in, we all might as well think more about our bodies so we can feel extra good when we purchase some new bikinis right? I bought a coral bandeau bathing suit the other day, it is beautiful.. I can't wait to have an excuse to wear it! Vacay to Mexico anyone?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well, this month went by exceedingly fast.. I cant believe that it is already February! Well, with a new month a head I believed it was only fitting for me to turn a new leaf and start my year off fresh. For the next month, I will be spending allot of time focusing on healthy living and exercising and of course I am giving myself some incentive to help me complete my month of fitness mania. I am not looking to lose weight, I am more looking to change up some eating and lifestyle habits and to exercise more frequently... I mean the amount of time I spend online shopping... I could obviously be working out..Whatever the case, if I feel I have accomplished some changes and made some improvements, I will treat myself to a brand new pair of beautiful JBrand Skinnies. What more motivation could a girl need really.. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well, January has clearly proven to be a very dreary and wet month.. however bring on the showers and you will see the flowers.. which means spring!! And how better to start off the spring season, but by adding color to your wardrobe and lots of it. The previous fall fashion shows have proven that this spring there will be lots of color and some pretty amazing and shocking color combinations to try. <span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">From statement-making prints to cool new color combos, discover tons of new outfit ideas </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;">for the warm-weather season ahead.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>My style tip:<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; text-align: left;"> Stick to three colors max to avoid the girly, Rainbow Brite look.</span> You might as well stand out of the crowd if you can! </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have become overly consumed with <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a>.. via my laptop, Iphone.. kinda all the time.

If you are feeling the Monday morning blues and a bit dreary, try to spice up your office attire by mixing textures and prints. If your office allows for a little more outfit creativity, take advantage. Stay warm with a pair of opaque tights and add interest with a bright print. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 18px;">Bundle up stylishly by adding a sweater coat to a girlie dress; just cinch at the waist and add a pair of seasonal boots to complete your cozy-chic office apparel. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Okay so I was browsing online the <a href="http://www.michaelkors.com/">Michael Kors</a> website, looking at some new Spring items, when I came across this new collection of the most gorgeous pinks and distinctive gold hardware pieces. Sadly as a student, items over $100.00 are unfortunately out of my current price range! But in my ordinary fashion, I improvised and found a similar item at a much more wallet-friendly price!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well, I have been writing this little blog off and on for about a year now.. and I guess I have never really taken the opportunity to share with my readers a little bit about myself. Well, for starters, for those of you who who don't know me.. my name is Ainsley Smith. I am 21 years old and I live in a small town outside of Vancouver, BC. I am<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> <span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia;">definitely</span></span></span> a city girl at heart, so spending my time downtown is defiantly a favorite past time of mine. I attend the University of the Fraser Valley, where I am obtaining a degree in Business Administration with a major in Marketing and a minor in Communications. It is a mixture of some of my favorite things I suppose. Upon completing my degree, I "plan" ( My plans change almost as much as I change my clothes... ) on going to school in New York City. Here I am going to study the Business of Fashion, so I can eventually pursue a career in the Fashion Industry.. not really sure of the specific field just yet. I have a wide variety of employment experience, so It kind of makes it hard for me to really know exactly what it is I want to do when I am older.. I have worked in retail for a number of years, I teach dance, work in an Accounting office, I have worked in a restaurant, as a personal assistant, as a customer service rep for a country club and I also spent the last summer working as a Junior Marketing assistant for Vancouver Fashion Week, which was an incredible experience. Currently I just fill my time with school, working in retail, teaching dance, and helping out in my dad's accounting office whenever I can.. and blogging of course! I like to be busy, it helps keep me motivated and focused on what is important. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As previously mentioned in my <a href="http://yourdailyfixofme.blogspot.com/2012/01/welcome-back.html">Welcome Back</a> post, I talked about some of the New Years Resolutions that I have, but one of the important ones I kind of forgot to touch on is pretty personal. I feel that this year, I really need to find the real me again. I just got out of a 3.5 year relationship with the guy of my dreams and believe me, this is no picnic. I don't think I have ever felt this way before. I honestly feel like I lost my spark and I don't really know who I am as a person. It just down right sucks! So this year, I really want to concentrate on opening up as a individual, whether it is on my blog, or in everyday life. I need to get my independence and my spark back and I am actually really excited to do so. A wise woman once told me that sometimes you just need to let go of the past and look ahead. Because through every storm, there is a rainbow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">During 2012, I really hope to explore new career paths, meet new friends, travel and just have fun while doing it all. This is the year that I will find what makes me happy and I want to share it with everyone, every step of the way. For a while I was feeling pretty down on myself, which I find a little pathetic, because sadly, my ego is do big to admit it at times... But I know now, that feeling sorry for myself isn't going to get me anywhere and it sure isn't going to help me find Mr.right!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So here is to a new year and a new me.. A year full of adventure, happiness, laughter and maybe even love? Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I am just beyond excited to get my smile back and I hope this year, through my blog posts, or from other inspiration, everyone else can too:)</span></div>
