I don't think I'll ever get used to big companies sending me products to try. I get this overwhelming sense of "kilig" every time I come home and a huge package is waiting for me thatswhatshesaid.

I'm very blessed to be able to try new releases, old favorites and cult products and I always try to give my honest and objective opinion. I don't always love what is sent to me, but when I do, I make sure to let you guys know that IZ DA SHIZ. Like my current Holiday favorites.

There is nothing I love more than buying gifts for those I love during the Holiday season. I honestly love it. A lot. But every year, things get a little more difficult. Tastes change, trends fade, and sometimes they throw in the phrase I hate the most: "It's okay, I don't need anything this Christmas."

Uh oh.

So you can imagine the stress I felt when I couldn't think of anything special to get them. Luckily the stress didn't last very long this time around.

I've always been a fan of Planet Grapes and everything they stand for. Great wines, delicious food and awesome company. "Wine without the Drama" as they would say. So you can imagine my joy in learning about their new Enomatic Gift Card- perfect for this holiday season.

So I've been prepping for a while now (and by "prepping" I mean opening Keynote, closing Keynote, opening Keynote again, you get the picture...) because I was recently asked by the girls over at Miriam College to give a talk on Self Worth whilst in a Relationship.

**SIDE NOTE: I've done the talk... months ago. I just found this entry floating around my "drafts" sections of the blog.. oops.

Now by no means am I an expert at "feeling good 100% of the time" nor am I a "relationship guru" but after being asked to give this talk, it got me thinking. A lot. So I thought I'd share with you a few things that came to my mind when I was reflecting on life and being happier with yourself.

Current Mood:


And no, it doesn't have anything to do with relationships- don't worry! It's more on being happy with yourself. The relationship part is still in the works (I should definitely start working on my presentation for that talk...)
