You may remember my post from last year where I was feeling rather lost and vulnerable in Procrastination hell? Feeling sad about my fashion design career, needing a change, and wondering what was next for me. Well, I can happily report I’ve been living life very much behind the scenes, unable to find the time/energy to post, due to being so focused. What a turn around.
View PostThe Rana Plaza Collapse. Why We Need A Fashion Revolution.
The collapse of the Rana Plaza building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, is one of the worst man-made disasters of our time. The now historic building was reported to have fallen down like a pack of cards on the 24th of April 2013, trapping many garment workers, labouring against their better judgment inside.
When incompetence and corruption mixed with the failure to listen to people, it resulted in an industrial disaster. Some call it the death of 1,000 dreams. The collapse tallied a body count of 1,138 innocent people and 2,500 more severely injured. Many of the survivors lost limbs and thus their livelihoods. Events such as these create a huge knock-on effect. In the wake of the tragedy, many family’s lives were to change forever, and circumstantially ours would too.

.
Today I am sharing the 7 life lessons I’ve learned while travelling and living abroad. The last few months have been overwhelming and busy, each day has brought a new experience or challenge. Sharing the details of this journey has felt impossible because I have still being processing it all myself. I live slowly, valuing quality over quantity in every way, so it was necessary for me to take a break from blogging for a while.
View PostShould We Block Black Friday?
The holiday season is fast approaching. Whether that statement fills you with excitement or dread is personal. I am usually a mixture of both but if I had to pick, probably the later. One of the reasons for that is, call me a Scrooge, but I hate the consumption overload that comes with Christmas. Particularly sale days like Black Friday, which is now extended to the whole weekend through to Cyber Monday. Again, whether you love it or hate it is all down to you. I again will choose the later.
