Sparkle #94: Monday Motivations

Happy Monday folks! Another week, another month and another chance at getting it right! It’s the middle of 2015, which makes it a good time to take stock of our January resolutions and the progress we have made on them. As always, I made plenty of resolutions for myself, but have been pretty bad at keeping up with most of them. I am looking forward to July for making a fresh start on two of my key priority areas for 2015: losing weight and being positive! Below are two inspirational thoughts which have motivated me to get back on track, or at least put some more thought into how I intend to work…

Sparkle #90: Embrace Change!

Happy Monday folks! The first half of 2015 is almost over, and I feel like it went by way too quickly. July is always special and since it falls in the middle, it’s a good time to take stock of how your year has been shaping up! The fact that it brings with it celebrations on the fourth and my birthday soon after, also add to it’s charm. Over the last two weeks, I have been thinking a lot about change, and how we must learn to embrace it in our lives. My current workplace taught me how to adapt to change quickly, but I admit I am yet to learn…

Sparkle #86: How to be more Productive

Happy Monday people! Its that time of the year when everything seems to slow down. Summers tend to make me lazy, slow-moving and if I may admit, a tad bit unproductive. Perhaps its the heat, or maybe it is just the way an year paces, with most of our energy being reserved for winter and spring. Dealing with poor productivity at work can be tough, and if you don’t tackle it soon enough, it creates a backlog which is even tougher to manage! So to start this week and your Monday on an inspirational note, I am sharing some of my top tips…

Sparkle #82: Start Your Week Right!

Happy Monday folks! Are you ready for the month of June? For me, this particular week is all about getting back on track with my daily rituals – whether it is my Yoga class, Zumba dance sessions or these sparkle posts! It is also about uploading and categorizing the pictures clicked on my recent travel, so I can share them with all of you as soon as possible. My obsession with animated GIFs intensified on this trip, as I generated some lovely auto-awesomes from my mobile camera. I cannot seem to get enough of animated artwork and so this week, I am dedicating all sparkle posts…

Sparkle #78: Tame that Temper

Happy Monday lovelies! This is going to be a busy week as I wrap up key projects before my upcoming travel. As work stress increases and crazy deadlines pile up, it will only be a matter of time before frustration starts manifesting in the form of temper tantrums! Now I have an honest confession to make: I am pathetic at controlling my temper. I am the kind who reacts in a situation, as opposed to being patient or thoughtful. This reactive nature doesn’t help, because in reality, a hot head can never solve a problem. When you react in a situation, you end up…
