Could I Have That is more of a state of mind. Its about improving ones lifestyle and celebrating all the things that can turn a bad day into a good day. I love lending inspiration to my readers in different ways so they can up the ante in their day to day routine.

JUST FOR FUN:

7.Tell us about an experience working as a fashion blogger that truly shaped the outcome of your career?
I was flown to Paris once for a store opening. It was such a surreal experience and I had the opportunity to meet and hang out with fashion editors from all over the world. That was a turning point for me and I started taking my business much more seriously.

SHAMELESS PLUG:

The Doctor’s Scrub! It will completely transform my skin from dull to radiant after one use. It leaves my skin glowing.
