My Weekend and What I Wore: Sunday 2/23/14












Hat: Zumiez, Coat: Forever 21, Shirt: Urban Outfitters, Pants: Urban Outfitters, Shoes: Charlotte Russe, Glasses: Tobi, Bracelet: 66 Links, Watch: Michael Kors, Lipstick: Ruby Woo by MAC and Rebel by MAC, Lipliner: Vino by MAC

Over the past few weeks, I've come to realize that making others happy is important, but making yourself happy is vital. I am always trying to make the people around me happy- so much so that I often lose sight of the importance of my own happiness. It is not a crime to be selfish with your happiness. At the end of the day, that is ultimately what everyone is seeking- their own happiness.

Doing things for other people makes me happy. Seeing other people happy makes me happy. At some point, we will find that spending every minute of our days only doing things to ensure someone else’s happiness will sometimes drain us of our own. This week, vow to find out what your source of happiness is. Focus on making those around you happy, but don’t allow yourself to be unhappy.

I find it so important to sometimes focus on some “me” time. Spend some time alone to gather your thoughts, sort out where you are at in life and where you would like to go next. Focus on what will make you grow and what will make your journey more worthwhile in the end. Making others happy will come so much more easily when you are happy yourself.

Here’s to focusing more on our “me” time.

   PS: This weekend, I went to the Kanye West concert in Connecticut with my sister and my cousin. He is so, so talented and such an amazing performer. On Saturday, I went to the cutest little place called Sweet Indulgence. They have all different kinds of desserts and drinks (my favorite: frozen hot chocolate). I recommend it to any and all of my RI readers!
