The Tonic Lifestyle

Missed me? I've been so terrible at updating this blog. Life's been busy hectic - no surprise there.

Plenty of changes these past few months. To endings and new beginnings. A chance to start anew and to take this much needed opportunity to focus inward and on my personal development.  Where do I want to go? What do I want to do? What's next? Questions like these to be answered and reflected on in greater depth and with a more thoughtful approach in the coming weeks.  I have already taken a leap of faith, abandoning the comforts of "the known" and am willingly opening myself to the universe; learning what it takes to define what it means to know me, my strengths and what I can contribute to this life, inside and out.

In the meantime, here are a few shots from the Tonic Lifestyle Apparel's Fall/Holiday Collection I modelled for earlier this year. A brand whose testament to enabling your love for active lifestyles aligns true with my passion for physical activity and its impact on my health, happiness and vitality.

May seem rough around the edges but a work in progress nonetheless. 

When It Rains It Pours

There's always a bit of truth to the saying, "all good things must come to an end". Yet, why is it when the going gets tough, life manages to become a catastrophic shit show?  I find it comical that rather than experiencing sporadic moments of "bad", life manages to send you a whole lot of crap in one (or many) fowl swoop(s).  

Happiness

A very wise mentor by the name of Heather, once told me that we stumble upon happiness through moments in life, rather than an achieved state of being or at journey's end. What she meant truly speaks to the saying, "Happiness is not a destination, it's a way of life", and every now and then I too catch glimpses of pure happiness. Whether it's catching up with old friends, taking a Scott Augustine Contemporary Jazz class or being blessed with a "get-out-of-jail-free" card - your whole being is left radiating with the kind of unwavering optimism and positivity that makes you feel like you're on top of the world.
