Life is all about time management and getting your priorities straight. I don't think you can just find your perfect way of planning in one time. To be honest, I have had my fair share of trial and errors. Planning is something personal and is different for everyone. There is no "wrong" way to plan, but you have to create your own style that works best for you. I will give you some of my do's and don'ts to help you find your own planning style:


So let's start with some do's: 

1. Try to plan on time: make time to plan one time a week for the whole week. I like to this on the weekends and plan ahead for one or two weeks.
2. Find a planner that suits you: it took me about five different planners to get to the planner that suits me best. Now I have settled with the Moleskine planner/journal with on one side a weekly spread and on the other side space for notes. I use the space for notes to make 'to do boxes'. I'll make a different post about a few planners/journals that I would recommend using!
3. Divide:  so one thing I have learnt is to have multiple short study sessions. I don't know about you, but I would be lying if I told myself that I could do all my homework on Sunday from 10am till 5 pm. I would study for like one hour and get bored and start a new addiction on Netflix. So my tip is to plan short study sessions over the week for about thirty to sixty minutes.

Now let's get to a big don't that I have learnt the hard way:
Not too perfect: Don't be so hard on yourself. Give yourself some free space and don't be too perfect on planning. If I make a planning that's too perfect and I don't get too every single task on my planning, I will get demotivated x 10000. So note to self: You are a human, you make mistakes, unplanned things come up every week, so make sure to keep this in mind when you plan ahead. And it's okay if you don't get everything done in one week, just move it to the next week.
Love,
TAB.

Hi lovely readers,

In a world where we are defined by how many likes we get, and where our insta feeds are filled with fit girls, travel bloggers, fashion bloggers etc. It can be really hard to stay positive and to be happy with what you have and not bash all the things that you don't have. Let's be honest ladies, we all compare ourselves to an insta fit girl while eating a big piece of chocolate cake (by piece I mean the whole damn cake). In this "modern" world, it is hard to not compare yourself to "perfect" girls. We see them everywhere, magazines, television, youtube, insta etc. You can't escape them and you are not the only one who feels this way. I think we humans often forget that we have so much to be grateful for and only focus on the things that we don't have. Just waking up to another day is something we should all be thankful for, but a lot of us forget this sometimes (myself included). So here are a few ways to be more positive and to bring more positivity in your life.

1. Meditation
Try to meditate for at least 5 minutes a day. This is a great way to start off your day with some alone-time. Away from everyone else and your phone. Take this time to reflect on how you feel. Here are a few important benefits summed up:

• It reduces your stress level
• It increases happiness (YAS!)
• It improves your concentration

We all love Maya Angelou. She was a poet, author, actress, civil right activist and many more. She made history by being the first nonfiction bestselling African-American woman with her book I know why the caged birds sings.  She is a role model for all of us. So here are 10 quotes from Maya Angelou to inspire you to be a better version of yourself.


1. Never ever give up. No matter how hard life gets.
























2. Be kind. Always

Ladies, as you know, last week Meghan Markle took over the internet and not only did she rob Prince Harry his heart but she robbed our hearts too. I have been loving her since the first day I saw Suits. With millions of blogposts already dedicated to her engagement, we would like to take this time to place our Meghan Markle in the spotlights, because she is a badass woman. This is for her and the things she stands for, one of them being gender equality. She has a voice that definitely has to be heard and she is such a great example for young women out there.

Did you know that Gal Gadot (32), a.k.a. our Wonder Woman used to babysit and work at the Burger King throughout her teenage years? (Yes, there's hope for all of us ladies). After high school she attended IDC Herzilya College to study law and international relations. Well what can I say, she is blessed with beauty and brains. After this, she served for two years as an combat trainer. This experience kickstarted her career with the role of Gisele in Fast and Furious. Even with all this experience. she had the time to squeeze in the pageants for Miss Israel, for which she of course won. This woman is all over the place. 

We chose her to be in today's spotlights, because we wanted to remind you that you should never give up. Gal Gadot was turned down for many acting jobs before her big hit and was seriously thinking about quitting acting and to go back to Israel with her beautiful kids and husband. So she said in Glamour:




We are really glad she didn't give up, because not only did she kill her performance in the movie, she is also getting a sequel with her director Patty Jenkins (Power Women Duo). So let this be a reminder to never give up on life, no matter how hard it gets. Keep believing in yourself. Life has a funny way of working it out just when you start to believe it never will. 

As you know, the most wonderful time of the year is just around the corner. With all the coziness, hot chocolates, family dinners and party planning comes, sadly enough, an huge expense. Here are five (budget-friendly) velvet outfits for you to rock on Christmas and/or New Years Eve.

Lady boss, Bossbabe, Girlboss, however you wanna call it. It all comes down to the same. Women who don't take a no for an answer and fight for their dreams. Here are five common habits of these women, because let's be honest, we all want to be as fierce as Jessica Pearson.

1. They are confident
If you want to achieve something, if you believe in something, even when the whole world says you can't do it. You have to believe in yourself, because if you don't, who will?

2. They don't give up
The road to success is not easy. If it was, we all would be rich, famous and have gigantic penthouses. You are going to struggle and that is OK. It is only going to make you stronger.

3. They are in control
Your mind, your time, your life, whatever it is. You should be the one in control. Feed your mind with new experiences and schedule your time. Wake up early and make the most of what you have. Remember, you have the same 24 hours as Beyoncé. Control and balance is key.

4. They are positive
You are not ging to be successful with a small minded negative mind. Bossbabes don't get frustrated by the little things in life. Bossbabes have a positive outcome because they have a positive outlook on life. You attract what you think about.

5. They don't take a no for an answer
If you read the previous post about Taraji P Henson (if you didn't, check it out now!), you know that she never took a no for an answer and after twenty years she finally made it. She believed in her dreams and proved everyone else wrong.
