Sun, Snow and Skiing...

The best three S's! So tomorrow I'm heading to the wonderful French Alps, Chamonix and Les Houches to be precise. Take a peak at this little snap taken today, beautiful!


Having been skiing quite a few times, none in the past three years, I am very excited to be heading back onto the mountain for a slight extreme sport adventure! After many months of being cooped up inside writing essays, a week full of fresh air will do me good. On that note, I am going to make an extra effort to be more active in my lifestyle and appreciate the beachyness of where I live at uni. It may not be sandy but it's got waves and a place to sit and ponder about anything and everything. These days, I think we don't give ourselves enough time to totally relax, empty our minds and enjoy the beauty of nature. Take a moment (or a few) to be swallowed up into your surroundings, it'll do you some good...no-one can ever think too much...

Day 24...

So it's the 24th January today and 24 days ago I set a new year's resolution... keep up-to-date with my blog. It may be a little late, but here goes.

I've had a busy past few months, I'm in my final year of university, my dissertation was due and I had 7 more deadlines on top of that. Now that they are all out of the way (hooray! for the moment) I now have a little bit of spare time. As my mind wonders from work to the great abyss, I'm starting to think about where and what I want to do after I graduate. It's a scary thought to think that what I do next may lead me to the rest of my life, although that makes it sound like a bad thing - quite the opposite, I'm completely excited that I can start making my stamp on the industry. Ethical and eco companies are where my heart lies and are my first point of call. Here goes...the beginning of the rest of my life! Totally psyched! In the words of none other than Martin Luther King himself, "I have a dream!" Keep going with where you're heading, dreams aren't there to just be thought about, act upon them and start living them...
