DREAM JOB

For those of you who don't know me I'm a Communications & Media sciences student specializing in Integrated Strategic Communications (that's Marketing, PR & Advertising in simple English). I love my major, and I really hope that I'd end up doing that for a living. Not that I want to write press releases for the rest of my life... BUT ideally I'd love to have a marketing/PR/advertising job in the creative or cultural industries preferably using digital marketing/social media

Explaining what I want to do for a living has always been difficult. Up until I read exactly what I wanted to say all along in a website called Fashionably Marketing in an article entitled "Why the Fashion Industry Needs Talented Community Mangers" (read here).

So, I want to be a COMMUNITY MANAGER. It's the ultimate fusion of marketing and public relations! Being a community manager in the fashion industry (as specified in the article) would be GREAT, believe me I like my clothes and shoes as much as the next girl. But then again I wouldn't mind a job in other creative industries such as the fine arts, publishing,...

I think such a job would be challenging but in a good way! I also think I'll be great at it.

Don't believe me?

Hire me. I'll prove it.

FASHION vs STYLE

ORGANIZED DRAWERS

I did not take before pics but these drawers were a complete mess!!!!  I used to have to rummage through a thousand different items to find what I was looking for. And it would be all wrinkled up which isn't pretty! I had those drawer dividers (from Ikea) but there was no clear system. Here's what I did:

1- Take all items out.
2- Divide them into categories, while doing so create a pile for anything torn or you won't ever use e.g. red leggings (long story!)
3- Fold items neatly and place them in a designated divider.
4- Arrange dividers inside drawers and label.

Drawer 1 - Tanktops and Swimwear

Tanktops folded neatly into squares. Here's how

I just rolled the swimwear. The shorts were folded in half and placed
next to them (see first pic).

Drawer 2 - Slips (aka Shla7), leggings, and stockings.

I rolled the stocking & leggings to create semi-circular rolls.

I applied this system to underwear as well and it works perfectly. You can see everything and find what you're looking for real fast. Plus, there's room for an extra divider which means there's room for more items - yay for me!



Will keep you posted on my home improvement ventures!

Wise Words (to live by)

Food for thought

Unsafe Journey. A woman is riding between the railway carriages of a local train heading north from Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Her luggage is tucked under the carriage in front of her. It is the month of Ramadan, a fast which culminates in Eid-ul-Fitr, a three-day celebration. Tens of thousands of people leave the city to go to their home village and celebrate with their families. Trains are packed and many who fail to get tickets before they sell out or can't afford buying them at the black market ride on the roof of the train or, like this woman, finds a quiet spot between the carriages.

Sitting at home on the comfy couch in front of the TV, I am a millions mile away from the world this photo was taken at. Still, my heart goes out to all the unfortunate. Spending time with our family and loved ones during Ramadan is something we take for granted. I feel so blessed to be able to see my family and friends almost everyday.

Lots of Love!
