Hello Fashion by Colombian-American blogger Christine Andrew features posts covering everything from fashion to beauty, family, lifestyle, and travel.
Christine created her own fashion brand called ILY Couture in 2011. In the same year, she started Hello Fashion, initially as an online diary where she shared her favorite fashion finds as well as helped customers wear and style their ILY Couture buys.
Christine is a true style icon, having appeared on Vanity Fair’s Best-Dressed List. Ironically, she was rejected from a fashion design school—it was this rejection that drove her to strive in the fashion industry.
In our wiring to please those around us and often put ourselves last, there’s a long list of behaviors we get stuck in, year after year. But at what cost? This got me thinking about some of the things most of us do, that aren’t in our best interests, and some of the bad habits we can kick NOW to preserve our sanity and really take proper care of ourselves.
Say buh-bye to these 8 bad habits NOW:
1. Toxic relationships. If you’re in a relationship with someone who consistently makes you feel bad or drains your positive energy, romantic or friendship, it may not be the healthiest relationship for you. Sometimes the kindest thing you can do for yourself AND for them, is to walk away.
2. Seeking approval from others. Let’s face it, we’re never going to please everyone 100% of the time. Living our lives with the need to get a gold star from the people around us makes us pretty dependent upon their moods, opinions and judgements, so let’s stop doing everything within our power to receive approval. Instead, let’s be true to ourselves, do what we feel is right, kind, and simply try your best.
