Hello Life, Hello 2017

Hello lovely readers! I am back from my loooong hiatus  (almost 10 months!) and for this post I just want to share whats going on in my life and the  hello’s of my 2017☺

Hello 2017, Hello New Career

Since 2013, I have worked as a Market Research Specialist for a non-bank financial institution. I had fun, learned a lot, made many many friends and acquaintances, struggled on some projects, beat deadlines and kicked ass on my stay there. But you come to the point that you want MORE, and I am not just talking about  income here but also career advancement. It was my main struggle in the last months of 2016; thankfully though I got an offer last November and I started my 2017 with a new career. I am now working as a Marketing Services Executive for a multinational pharmaceutical company, and surely I got the “MORE” I was looking for.

Hello 2017, Hello Love Life

Perhaps this is the 1st time EVER that I will be talking about my love life. I have always kept things private about this and I intend to keep it that way. Yes it is not always rainbows and butterflies but I just want to share how happy I am right now. This person makes my every waking day so worth it *blush*

Hello 2017, Hello Makeup

Yes 2017 was an amazing whirlwind as I started my new job, but that didn't keep me from my interest and passion. I have been doing makeup for proms, graduation and soon will be doing weddings as well. I know I am still far cry from those amazing makeup artists but I am  pleased that I can still pursue this. I plan to take an intermediate course this year to learn new techniques and of course upgrade my kit befitting a pro. 

Hello 2017, Hello Healthy Me

No I won't be promoting any diet here or a gym/workout you should try. This year though I vowed to start taking care of my health: eat better, sleep enough, be more active and take lots of water are some of my goals for this year. My goal is no longer about losing weight, but to live a healthy and happy life. Here are some of the steps I made for this goal:

• I used the FitBit watch that I got last December; at first I wasn't really happy about having this watch but now I really appreciate that I get to track my steps for the day (my current goal is at 7,000) as well as the hours of sleep that I get. 
• Downloaded a "Drink" app which reminds me to consume water.
• Letting go negativity; may it be a toxic person or a toxic environment.

Well we are already half of 2017 but I can sense that the remaining months will be as exciting and full of blessings☺
