I've been looking on different websites on how to lose weight, specifically, one of my concerns is to stop overeating junk food. Though I stick to three healthy meals a day, I overindulge in the snack department. See, I have an all or nothing approach to food, especially when cakes, lollies, cookies, chocolate and chips are concerned. I lack self control, or at least I think I do and just give in to those evil cravings. I remember the good old days back in Feb 2007 when I was toned, tanned (thanks to 10 days in Hawaii!) and feeling great...since my move to London it is as if I have let go and adopted that 'cbf' attitude which has caused me to gain weight. I miss wearing my $60 high waisted black skinny jeans from Dotti! My trip to Santorini will not only inspire and encourage me to whittle away those pesky pounds and tone up, but also adopt healthier eating habits for life. I can have my cake and eat it too...in moderation! I thought the good old food pyramid would serve as a daily reminder. The delicious (and healthy) recipes I seem to come across the pages of my regular glossies do as well!
Completely unrelated to food and losing weight, but fabulous nonetheless - I GOT A JOB! It is a Marketing Executive role for woman&home magazine, which is one of the brands published under the IPC Media group. They also publish my other favourite magazines like Marie Claire and In Style. This was the opportunity I have been waiting for! One of the key objectives in my CV is to be a marketing co-ordinator for a "reputable and established luxury fashion, lifestyle or beauty brand or publication located in London." Whilst it is not exactly a fashion magazine like Vogue or Elle, I'm just happy that I have managed to get my foot in the door and taken a step closer to my dream. I start next Wednesday on an initial 3 month contract which may get extended. Fingers crossed that all goes smoothly, that I learn as much as I can and make the most of this fantastic opportunity. By the way, yes, that is a photo of a fabulous looking Tina Turner on the cover. I know it's been airbrushed but have you seen the legs on that woman!? And to think she's 69 years old!
And just to finish off...I am now having writers block trying to put together an article for SWSU. am writing a feature on Rani Jones, a modern and fresh new eco-label inspired by Brutalist architecture. It's been awhile since I wrote an article for the e-mag but I am still very keen on extending my portfolio! Check out one of the outfits from Rani Jones' S/S 2009 collection.
Oh, and I started reading Two Lipsticks and Lover ...it has completely changed my perception of French women. I'm currently through Chapter 9, which investigates the way French women view having children. Intriguing stuff!
So, after today's random musings, I bid you adieu and good night!
