I'm a huge fan of fashion myself and my all-time favorite brand, Chanel, really struck me with their styles and choices of color and materials. I love everything from the brand's purses to their fragrances... even though I can barely afford any of it. I always thought Chanel was classy and timeless with their designs. I also know that Coco Chanel is the creator behind the brand and loved how Chanel is a true feminine brand. I learned it's okay to be feminine through her fashion. However, I wanted to understand more about Coco's motives and inspirations.

Fashion is a form of art that gives everyone the privilege to express and define themselves through what they wear. Many women out there use fashion to show their true colors, be confident and courageous, and never listen to those who judge their style in clothing. Women, even today, aren't being treated as how they should be, and it's really unfortunate. There were crazy things women couldn't do 50 years ago, and we've come a long way. So you'd think in 2018 that us women would feel like we're equal in this world, but there are still so many cases that we aren't. Our appearance, profession, and overall presence are constantly being criticized without giving us a break.

Your motivation to work and amount of productivity definitely gets affected by what's laying around on your office desk. My desk used to be filled with really boring, black and white material, from pens to planners, folders, and even my laptop bag was black. At first, I wanted to look professional and minimize color for more sophistication, but I was wrong. I was really bored with the way my desk accessories looked. My desk looked lifeless and dull compared to what my coworkers had on their desks: colorful pens, folders, and even potted plants.

Vitamin C is necessary for the growth, development, and repair of all body tissues. Since it’s so involved in many of the body’s functions, have you ever thought about including it in your skincare routine? Once I found out that my friend Karen was heavily involved in buying vitamin C skincare products, it was no wonder why her skin always looked refreshed and amazing. She mentioned how her new skincare routine positively and drastically changed her skin!

Even at the age of 23, I am constantly thinking about the future. I am always trying to plan way ahead and not think about what I am going to do the next day. The future sounds like a long time from now, and I know this, but I can't stop myself from thinking about what I'll be doing when I'm 30. The more I think about the future, the more it was stressing me out. It stressed me out to the point of worrying and from then, I knew that I needed to calm down.

I'll only blowout my hair for an event or if I'm going out the entire weekend because I want my hair to look its best. Who doesn't? The first day I blowout my hair, it always looks amazing. My hair looks fresh, shiny, and full of volume! However, when it comes to the following days, my hair slowly starts to look flatter and gets oiler and oiler. Since I have a lot of thin hair, my hair tends to get oily fast and I hate it.
