Quote of the Day!

Hey Loves!

It's been a little while since my last post, I know, but I wanted to kick the week off right by providing you all with a little Monday motivation.

This week is all about walking the talk, meaning do what you say you're going to do and do it well.

This motivated me to become more active in my community. I wanted to find ways to give to those less fortunate than myself because i've always believed that to receive abundantly, one must give abundantly. So this past weekend, I had the pleasure of helping a local charity give school supplies to less fortunate children in my community. I am an avid shopper so any reason to go shopping, no matter what cause, was an exciting feat for me. With the help of some friends and family, we were able to give hundreds of supplies to the charity and plan to give even more this week. The best part is that we're having fun doing it.

So how will YOU walk the talk this week?

Get up, get out and make a difference in someone else's life this week and I promise it'll make an even greater difference in your own life. Giving is Chic!

So Stay Chic Divas!

Quote of the Day!

" Too many people postpone their happiness waiting for a future goal to manifest." - Ilya Alexi

I love reading books that provide inspiration or motivation when I need it most. And lately, I've been reading a book called " Mind Over Money: How to program your mind for wealth." It basically is a book about the law of attraction and we can attract wealth into our life just by changing how we think and go about things in our daily lives. This quote really hit home for me personally because as a "goal-getter", I set many goals I'd like to achieve and quite often have placed my happiness on achieving a future goal. I am the first person to be guilty of saying "when I get this, I will....." versus living in the moment and appreciating what I already have and the goals that I have already accomplished. It is wonderful to have goals and a want to attain them, however, it shouldn't be at the expense of enjoying the here and now. That doesn't mean don't set goals or plan for the future, it just means live in the moment. Take the time to enjoy life's simple pleasures, like smelling fresh flowers in bloom or walking barefoot on the beach watching the waves hit the rocks. Kiss your child or your spouse and enjoy being in the presence of family. Everything else, the stress of work, of bills or whatever it may be will be there tomorrow. Live in today! 

Hopefully this quote inspires you as much as it has myself and provokes you to enjoy the present. Happy Monday! 

The book, by the way, can be purchased on Amazon.com. It actually is a free book if you have a Kindle. Make sure you check it out!

Monday Motivation!

Hi Dolls! 

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I've been meaning to post this quote for a week now because it is parallel to what I've been struggling with recently. I have so many high hopes for my business and blog that sometimes I feel my hard work isn't showing the results I'd hope for. I am very grateful for the things that I have accomplished thus far and I take this platform very serious, but at times it is more than disheartening to not see my vision come to life after months of hard work. I am always told that all things will be what they will be in due time, it's not something I often want to hear, but it is something I need to hear to remember to keep going. If you've been working hard towards a goal, but feel like your not getting the results you wish, trust that what you want to achieve will come to you at the right time. Continue to work hard and remember to Keep the faith!

Quote of the Day!

This quote hit home for me so I decided to share it with you all. Too many times we things, ideas etc. off because of our circumstances at the moment, but why? Usually it is out of fear of the unknown. I am definitely guilty of this at times, but I want to challenge myself and my fashion dolls to really go hard for your dreams and make them a reality. Ready. Set. Go!

Happy Monday!

How was everyone's weekend? I had a few events to attend this past weekend so the weekend definitely went by wayyy too fast for my liking. I'm not complaining, i'm blessed and I understand that fact, but a little downtime for rest and relaxation would've been greatly appreciated. However, it is Monday already and the show must go on so with that said, here's a little Monday motivation to get everyone through another work week successfully.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit." -Aristotle

I love this quote because it's very true. We are what we continuously do each day. Many people want change in their life, but don't take the steps to make things different. Some of you may have weight goals you haven't achieved yet, but don't workout regularly or at all. You may dislike your job, but won't apply for another job that makes you happy or try to acquire the skills you need to get a higher position out of fear or complacency. I've been there, some days I am there. But don't feel stuck in your situation, whatever it may be, it can be changed by simply choosing to make what you want in your life a habit. Make today the day you start your new habit of excellence. 

Now get up, get dressed and be EXCELLENT today! 

Stay fabulous, loves. 

xoxo,

Good Morning Dolls!

Here is today's quote:

"For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something." -Steve Jobs

Are you doing what you love??

Hey Dolls!

Is anybody else excited about fashion week starting this week and next week? (*two hands raised extra high*) I am! And did you see Beyonce kill that performance last night at the Super Bowl during halftime? Aaaaa-Mazing!!! Anyway, after all the festivities that took place this weekend, I am finding it extra hard to get back in the groove of things today so here's a little Monday positive thinking to get you and me through this new work week.

“It’s easy to get lost in endless speculation. So today, release the need to know why things happen as they do. Instead, ask for the insight to recognize what you’re meant to learn.” - Caroline Myss

Quote of the Day!

Hey Dolls! 

Just wanted to drop in for a brief moment and leave you with a quote that was inspirational for me today. I woke up this morning feeling a little down in the dumps, I have a huge breakout situation on my face from the stress of juggling two jobs, my blogging, my online store, a home, bills, and the list keeps adding on. Though I've found a way to manage it all in the past, sometimes, it does get to me having to be everything that everyone expects me to be and still live up to my expectations I place on myself. And to be honest, lately I've been falling a little short of my commitments and obligations to things and people (meaning colleagues  friends & family) are starting to notice. That's a hard pill for me to swallow because I place such emphasis on being and doing my very best, that if I fall short for any reason I'm very self critical.  Then to add insult to injury, the "situation" on my face is so not helping! So reading this quote today is helping me put things into perspective and realize that I'm human, I fall short sometimes, and  that no one and nothing is without flaws. 

People can be flawed physically or emotionally, perfection doesn't exist. It's up to you to accept it, embrace it and if you really don't like it, then change it. But once you know what it is, use it to empower yourself and never let it stop you from achieving your goal or dreams. So today, I will embrace my pimples (yikes!), organize and take care of what I can, and know that I'm human, sometimes I fall short, but I've got to keep going.  

So I want you all to do the same........ get up, put on your best outfit and take on the world with me............in a fabulous pair of heels, of course! Because once you've accepted your flaws, no one can use your flaws against you! :-)

Kisses! xoxo

Fabulously yours, 

Chi

Quote of the Day

It's still the beginning of the year and even though my presence has been lower than usual, doesn't mean work isn't being done. I'm learning that sometimes talk is cheap and quiet is how you can hear what's going on around you to make your next move your best move. Good morning Dolls! Lets make today amazing! :)
