How often do you Self Reflect?
Sometimes its hard to take a long hard look in the mirror at yourself and reflect on who you are, who you've become, what you've learnt, and decide which direction you're heading next. For me this is something I tend to notice myself doing quite often when I travel with my job, and usually find myself using this time to make a list of things I need to do and how I'm going to get them done. Although I think this is very productive I have recently learnt how important it is to actually stop and think about how far you've come, and what you have already accomplished. I realised I was so stuck on fast forward that I didn't have time to enjoy the moments that I had created as I was already on to the next. Connecting your mind to your body is so important and I had a moment of Self Reflection in which I realised... a more open conversation with myself is actually very necessary and also a very good thing to do from time to time. It usually comes at times when you least expect it, for me usually when I'm near natural elements like the sea, a burning flame or even walking on open land. I spend so much time on my computer and other digital devices, so taking time out from the tech world that I love but have become obsessed with, is very important. Part of my New Years Plan is to give myself more "reflection time".
I would love to hear how you guys like to self reflect. Is it in the mirror?, is it in the shower? comment below and share your stories :)

Judging A Person Does Not Define Who They Are.. It Defines Who You Are!
Most people do it, in fact everyone seems to do it, I'm talking about Judging people.
As a model I get judged on my looks every single day. Although at first it was quite annoying, it is actually something I have grown to accept as part of my job. This has forced me to grow a thick skin about any snide comments and outrageous remarks, and has made me see that everyone no matter how big or small has an "opinion". Now since becoming aware of this sometime ago I am quite aware about judging others and I try and avoid it whenever I can, but this is nearly impossible to do full time. I have come to the conclusion that when you judge someone it is really just a matter of opinion and your own perception and thoughts on a certain someone, therefore this is a reflection on you and really it doesn't define the other person at all, but it defines yourself.
I hope that you enjoy my posts and I would love your comments on my blog ;)

adidas Adizero Adios and Opening Ceremony Bomber Jacket
Had fun today teaming up this cute little combo. As you guys know I'm often on the run and had a few meetings today in central, so I decided to put this trendy casual look together by adidas.
The Bomber is an item from their Opening Ceremony Line and is the perfect item to inject a little colour back into your gloomy winter wardrobes. I love the style and fit of this and it will definitely be a key piece in my wardrobe this season. I'm a huge fan of jackets in fact about 50% of my wardrobe space is dedicated to jackets but this is without a doubt an original so I definitely need to make some room ;)
The Adizero Adios are my new fav trainer from adidas. I was actually a few mins behind schedule and decided to run for my train and was so surprised to feel so light on my feet. The Adizero Adios are highly rated for being, Light, Bright, Comfortable, Good for Balance, Flexibility and are also rated good for long distance runs.

M A C in Paris
So I went to Paris for the World Poker Tour (WPT) and one of the events of this trip was the DISCO FEVER themed players party. The other Royal Flush Girls and I were treated to getting our glittery Disco makeup done in the lush MAC store in the centre of Paris. Here's a few pictures of my look of the night. My make-up artist was Raouda Matoussi who fused Arabic with Disco and added some gorgeous colour and sparkle to my look.
