So today’s post is a little different, it’s not fashion or
beauty related it’s a bit more personal…..something just to get to know the
person behind the DIY’s and fashion post, more about the girl who obsessed and
addicted to shoes!...lol …. so since I am a very random person and the other day I thought to myself OK I am
25(no one actually believes me I am 25 they always think I am way younger!..Story
of my life!) Not married no kids, I finished school, started a career, I have
done the whole early 20’s thing, I got board of it now what’s next??? So I
wrote down what I would like to accomplish in the next five years and then decided
to share some of my goals here to since this blog is part of my goals and life.
So the following will be some of my five year goals and after five years I will
come back and follow up! Hope everyone enjoys the post and why not leave a
comment write some of your 5 years goals or write a post and link me to it!
So first I have to start off with going back in time!! I
graduated High School 7 years ago at that time I kind of knew what I wanted to
do, I wanted to study Fashion Design, but it was a little expensive for me
since I had no money and no job, luckily a few months later I was offered a ok
paying job, but I the job was only for about 3 months. 3 months that became
almost 4 years of my young life!!!! So after working for 1 year I decided to
give fashion school a try, and it was the best decision I have ever made.
Fashion school wasn’t easy I saw a lot girls and guys drop out in our 3rd
quarter, there were a lot of sleepless nights non stop sewing and drafting and
being around fabric, pins and needles, studying, weekly projects, plus I still
had work to worry about. If I wasn’t in school I was at work sometimes really
late I think once I was at work from 8am to 8pm and the next day I had class
and had to finish a project eat something in between shower and sleep for a couple of hours. To top it off somewhere
halfway in my first year or beginning of 2nd year of school I was in
a relationship! I had made a promise to myself when I started school of not to
date until I was done with school…. yeah me and my big mouth! But I don’t regret
it that relationship kind of help me figure who I was and what I wanted. Then a
few months before graduation I quit my job…best decision I have ever made! I
don’t know why I didn’t leave sooner?!? My health and life got way better, I
wasn’t happy anymore, I wasn’t going to grow there ever, I was not going to
kiss anyone ass and I wasn’t going to put my personal life in jeopardy. No one
should ever stay in a place where you’re not happy.….so yeah that’s what I've been doing in the last 7 years…well obviously
there’s way more things that happen in my life like births, deaths, good and
bad times, times where I made bad decisions and followed by consequences and so
on…..
Now for my goals for the next five years!!! Ok so right now
at the moment what’s most important is my career, professionally I would like
to manage a business of course in the fashion/beauty industry it’s what I love,
I would love to own my own business but I think that would fall in my 10 year
goals because there is a lot to do before that like pay off my student loans!
Thankfully that’s the only debt I have and then I can get a place of my
own and finally have a whole
bedroom be a closet and office/work
space…lol Another big one is work out more or just be more active, I don’t want
to try to lose weight…I am happy with my weight but I just want to be more tone
and fit oh that reminds me of a quote which I have to write it down somewhere
and put it where I can always see it and remind me and help me get motivated…
the quote says… “Skinny girls look good in clothes…Fit girls look good naked”….
I want to be able to run again and not get tired easily maybe even run a marathon or a half marathon, I think I should give
yoga another try too but my entire goal is to feel good health wise. I would also like for this blog to grow and
evolve into something bigger , I am not sure what direction my blog will take
but I am sure its heading in the DIY/Fashion direction, since I am a crafty
person and I love sewing, building things and basically I just love to make anything. I want to
do more outfit post because it's something I really haven’t done on here and I
have a lot of ideas I have to share! I just have to find someone to take the
pictures…lol but basically what I want to do with this blog is just show my
creative side and show people that sometimes you just need basic things to look
and feel great, inspire people in some way, my way, there are a lot of people
who are already beautiful in the inside and why not help them bring all that
beauty in the inside out. Sometimes it just takes a cute pair of shoes, a dress
or some lipstick to make someone feel that they can conquer the world! Something I’ve always wanted to do is travel,
I would love to visit Dubai, Japan, Egypt…well If I could I would travel the whole
world!!! But who knows hopefully someday?!?! But a big dream I have and I know
will do it someday is to travel all over Europe and just take in all the
scenery and the cool street fashion and can’t forget the Haute Couture and
shopping!!! So in the next few years I plan to start traveling. I am also a music junkie yeah maybe sometimes
I don’t the name of the songs that get stuck in my head and keep singing all
day but I would like to go to a couple of music festivals like Austin City Limits, Coachella, Lollapalooza..ect..
Crossing my fingers I get to go next year to one! I always wanted to go on a hot
air balloon ride; I think I can do that next year for my birthday. There is countless of things
I want to do and I am working hard to achieve them and yes most of them are career
related, I want to continue learning as much as I can and I don’t want to ever stop learning and I don’t think
I will ever stop. I know I said that my career is what’s most important to me
right now and it is but hopefully somewhere in the next five years I’ll
find someone to share my life with my best friend, the man who is going to ask
my dad for my hand before proposing to me (yeah I know that sounds old fashion,
but the man that will love me will do it), getting married, kids the house and
all that. Aahhh I can’t wait to have kids they are going to be some stylish
babies! I want a lot of kids but let’s be
responsible two or three would be great, but who knows first I need to find the father of my future babies…lol now that is going to be a challenge!….. I have
always neglected this part of my
life…dating, I have done a couple of times not much, I don’t think I am picky I just know what I want from
a man, I know I have a lot to offer a man and it’s not that I haven’t found
what I want it's just that maybe some men think I have so much going on and I
know what I want and where I want to go, I guess that scares some of them off, But I know I will eventually find
that person or maybe he will find me who knows it maybe tomorrow in a year or
in five years, maybe I already know him maybe he is still a complete stranger,
he may be just across the street or across the world who knows life is filled with unexpected surprises. All I know is that whoever he is has to maybe
not love but understand that fashion is part of me and my life and I will never
leave it, it’s part of the package! So there
are just a couple of goals I have, I’ll be back in five years to see what I
have accomplished.
Thanks for visiting!
