Break a sweat...fashionably!

Keeping fit and regular exercise is something really important to me. I've realised it keeps me focused during stressful times, a great way to escape whats going on in the world and just gives me motivation in all areas of everyday life. If you haven't got the fitness bug, I would suggest trying out different forms of exercise until you find one that you enjoy doing, because that will be what ultimately keeps you motivated to carry on doing it.
Having designed for the sportswear industry I have to say that I find it very hard to buy cheap sportswear clothing! By cheap I mean with no performance function in terms of material, cut, sport suitability and overall product quality/longevity.
I have a slight soft spot for pretty sportswear though...who wouldn't! Here are some pieces that I really love but sadly cannot buy simply for looking pretty! There are only so many sport bras and jogging pants one can own before looking like you have more clothes to break a sweat in that actually wear from day to day.

Deadlines & Positivity

Last week and today were two deadline days for separate design projects to hand in. Its such a satisfying feeling when you can see all those rushed manic thoughts of am I going to do this in time, will I be able to complete everything I wanted all answered when you're looking at a page of finished work. I have lost sleep over thinking if the projects are good enough because they do determine my near future of career choice and that is something I hold very close to me. Positivity is key and I will remain to stand by this. It sounds so cliché but positive thinking really can do wonders for the brain. That and some hard sessions of exercise!

Thought of the day: 'Try and fail, don't fail to try.'

Fotopedia!

I've discovered an app on my iPad called Fotopedia that I LOVE! Its an app where anybody can create photo albums or as they like to call them stories about any topic they want. I've been using it a lot this week coming to grips with it and its a really great little community where you can rate other members stories, follow members whose stories you enjoy and unlock achievements as you progress with sharing stories to others. It's a really fun easy way of sharing photos with the world and discovering places/scenery/images at the same time. Try it out! :-)
