A few months ago, I received this email from Crosby. It was so amazing that it brought tears to my eyes, & I wanted to share it — I was just waiting for the right occasion. I think this is a perfect illustration of RADICAL SELF LOVE, & radical self love above all else. Thanks […]
What do you want to achieve before the end of the year? You have 55 days to make something amazing happen! By the start of 2009, my gift to myself will be having my three-year visa for the United States sorted out. SO EXCITED! New York is where I want to be. It’s my favourite […]
“I desperately want to get a large tattoo on each of my arms, not quite as big as yours. The designs are beautiful, made up of things that are really important in my life, like symbols of my family, freedom and creativity. The only trouble is that my boyfriend utterly despises tattoos and has said […]
When I was a fashion blogger, no one in the industry liked me. I didn’t dress the way they did, and when we were at events, I always felt like I didn’t measure up. Even if I had walked out of my apartment feeling great about my outfit, something about being in a room full of […]
