2018 Make Magic Happen


It’s on! 2018 is the time to make magic happen!
Today I’ve spent most of the day reflecting on the past year and everything that happened. Even though it seems like time flies unbelievably quickly, I definitely felt each moment of 2017 grasp my heart and carry me away day by day, minute by minute. Since a few years, I’ve set myself for goal to enjoy and embrace each and every second like it was my last… I have never felt more alive. Starting the year with a burst of positive energy and hope is truly priceless. And don’t get me wrong, I don’t try to plan everything ahead. Letting life surprise you and receiving unexpected lessons is what makes living so enjoyable and exciting after all. How boring would it be if each challenge, if each goal we had was so easy to accomplish. My resolutions gravitate towards a general vision.

I have a feeling that 2018 has a special purpose that’s much bigger than anything I’ve ever experienced. I don’t know why or what it is… And, I don’t want to know. I want to wake up each morning and have butterflies in my stomach. Just like going on a date for the first time. I’m giddy for the growth it holds, the dreams that’ll come to pass, and all the memories to be made. I’m giddy for another chapter—another learning curve. I’m giddy for all the laughs, love and adventures.

This year, I want to stand taller—love harder. I want to love others so boldly and wildly—they wonder why. I pray to fall even deeper in love with God and continue to build and nurture my relationship with Him so I may learn to live a life that points only to Him. I will follow my own path and create a life that I could be proud of, and part of that process involves me simplifying my life. I have always been the person to surround myself with "things" to make myself feel whole, and as I get older, I've quickly learned that those "things" are not what make you happy. Family, friends, adventures, seeing new places, meeting new people, and capturing the world around me with my camera – that’s happiness to me. Having a story to tell along the way, that's what life is all about, creating your own story, one you can be proud of.

As I mentioned before HERE, I decided from the beginning to keep my blog a positive place, where you feel inspired with a healthy flow of messages and energy. I just hope, from the bottom of my heart, that sharing with you my adventures, or even simply my looks, inspires you, takes your mind off of something, or maybe even your stress or anger away for a couple of minutes to drown in a little world of travel, adventure, fun and fashion.

It was so nice to have worked really hard for the past year, and finally have my work get appreciated. Since I started blogging, I'd estimate I have received a million views, and visited by 183 countries according to my blog statistic. I was overwhelmed, honestly.

So, I want to send out a huge thank you and endless love to all of my beautiful readers, followers, friends and sponsor for all of the gift, collaboration, kind words and encouragement you send me every day. My blog and Instagram has been my favorite place to find inspiration, a way for me to connect with such special people from all around the world and it's helped me grow in so many ways! I am so proud and happy for it all because we’re building something truly magical and it always made me want to push to the next level

I think I’ll forever be thankful for 2017—I just really believe 2018 is going to be a year for the business, books, photography and of course fashion; and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Happy New Year!
