What A Difference A Day Made



Every new day is an opportunity to start over again.

2016 has been kind to me so far, small and big changes that I’ve lived to embrace. I think the biggest lesson has been that you are never fully ready for the things that come at you, this is exactly when life tends to thrown you the ball. Maybe to keep your senses alert or because a rehearsed catch is never as fully lived as the spontaneous one. I believe a large part good happenings is us getting rewarded for the risks and sacrifices we make, I’ve seen a lot of them lately, on the love front, job front and with my overall inner thoughts.

I am talking about changes that don’t happen over night, from everything to being kinder to myself, to learning what it means to be present in my current life. These are things that we all struggle with, some more than other. As an Influencer, it’s no shocker to tell you that I’ve spent a lot of time in the ‘more’ section, this is why I am thankful of new beginnings. The sun rises every morning, what a difference a day makes, right?

So to honour my new beginnings and my resolutions to become a better listener, I practically jumped on the opportunity to share my story together with Rituals, a brand that is all about celebrating the small pleasures in life. The #LetLifeBlossom campaign welcome’s the brand new look of the iconic Sakura. The range is seeing a sleek packaging makeover that aims all senses. The rice milk based, Cherry blossom infused collection, embodies happiness and abundance, leaving you with a healthy glow…. Not to mention it’s pretty damn Instagram friendly.

London has it magical little ways of telling us when we’ve finally entered the new season, I am of course talking about the Cherry Blossom trees that covers our city. The ultimate Sakura experience is however to be experienced in Japan, where the ‘Hanami Matsuri’, flower viewing tradition gathers people every spring to celebrate nature’s rebirth and the fleeting beauty of the fragile flowers, as a metaphor for life itself. Isn't it amazing what a meaningful role a flower can take? I am not the one to say no to the little, simple pleasures in life. That is the person I aspire to be, someone that live in so much feeling. With my heart on my sleeve and no fear of judgement.

Whilst we all know change starts from the inside, I wanted you to see it as well. So I am staring with the small things like new hair, new skin routine - as seen here soaked in the new favourite body cream. New ideas but overall a promise to take better care of myself, both from the inside and the outside, the physical and the mental.
