Moving On


So starting something new can be so daunting and exciting at the same time, but what do you do when you start something and regret it. Recently I have been tackling a situation that has really difficult for me, I began working at a company that I believed to be a step in the right direction for my career, however I felt that this certain company was not for me, and I was treated like a bit of a idiot. I'm not stupid and I've always been proud that I will do my best whenever I can and work to the best of my ability but I felt that I was only there as they could pay me pennies rather than paying an employee a full wage and get the same job done. 
Admitting that I needed something new was hard but after a while I knew it was the right thing to do, I was scared and I didn't want to fail at something that was so important to me.
I've learned in life that the things you find the scariest will most likely give you the most satisfaction in life. Throughout my time in this job all I could think was there must be more to my life than sat in this office making myself ill because of the stress and the sadness I was going through.

Having a good support network of friends and family is the best thing to have around you at a time like this and even talking to a doctor, or teacher or tutor who you trust can really take a weight from your shoulders. In the end this work place became to much for me and for my own sanity I left and since I have, I have never looked back!

Do what you love. Life is too short to be stuck doing something you hate.

September Purchases

So as I am on placement its rare that I have time to see the other girls from the uni course, and since my best friend is one of the said girls its amazing when shes back up here. Going from living with someone and being at uni to them then not being there is the worst, so as this was a rare occasion (that we will probably do again very soon ha!) a spa day and some retail therapy was needed. This meeting caused some very bad choices with some bad influence in the form of me spending money on things I probably should of waited a bit for! So with not much persuading, for me i spent quite a lot of money. Butttttt oh well ha!

Also there are a few products that I have ordered very recently as freshers is soon, and I cant go out in last years outfits, everyone's back and being a fashion student I have to look the part! Also there is a sneaky home-ware treats that I just had to pick up.
(also please don't judge my photography skills, I know I'm still the worst, and I know that top isn't ironed but hey ho!)

Do What You Love

After having a serious lingerie addiction for pretty much my whole life, I started to fall in love with lace bralettes. Obviously being in fashion, making clothing is always something I've had a passion for, I began by creating some little bralettes for myself as I could save money from the ridiculous prices in stores but also I loved it, seeing something I have created was so satisfying and rewarding in itself. After this many of my friends had asked for one, and I was so thrilled, I was very critical at first and I didn't believe anyone else would actually pay for something I had made but I began charging a small amount and all the girls seemed to love them! Even though what I have created isn't a real business and I haven't made much money, it's something I am so proud of and will carry on to do, it has taught me not to give up and believe in myself!
I also decided to try out making velvet bralettes. and they have turned out more perfect than I can imagine, they are so supportive and I'm loving experimenting with more fabrics to see what I can come up with.

I have set up a depop shop with some of my products in, my username is 'mollygoole' so if you feel the urge check it out, thankssssss.
