Girls & Goals: Envisioning 2016 to #DoMoreThingsYouLove

February 26, 2016

I am a firm believer that if you want something to happen in your life, you need to first establish what it is. You can’t just vaguely “wish upon a star” and hope something great will come your way.

There is the side of you that doesn’t want to get too excited in case the movie doesn’t live up to the hype, but then you really can’t help but get excited because there is so much hype about it. Aaargh!!! So what does one do in a situation like this? Well my fellow Marvel fan-addicts… This is one of those times where the hype doesn’t do the movie justice. Continue Reading…

February 11, 2016

If you’ve ever been on an all girls’ adventure, you know that the ‘get away’ car is important! You understand that said vehicle should be just as stylish as its occupants. Not only should it be spacious enough to fit a fleet of fabulous divas, but it should be cater capable because the girls in question have lots of demands. Let me explain… Continue Reading…
