The Most In-Demand Skill of 2019




According to LinkedIn, the most in-demand skill of 2019 is creativity.  I personally think this is because of how technologically advanced we are now.  With bloggers and Youtubers and online business, creativity is key.  So how do you become more creative?

I get it, some people are just naturally more creative than others but we all suffer from ‘writer’s block’ or ‘lack of inspiration’ from time to time so here are some of my tips I have picked up doing research along the way on the topic of how to keep those creative juices flowing!

  1. Speak to those around you that inspire you.  I’m not saying to copy people but have a chat with those you know that are creative and see what inspires and works for them.  It may work for you too.  I also love using Twitter to see what others are writing about for inspiration.  Just like I did with this post after reading a post by LinkedIn on creativity.

  1. Keep a notebook handy.  Sometimes out of nowhere you will just be inspired by something and have lots of creative ideas so make sure you have somewhere to write them down until you can use them properly.  I love using the notepad app on my phone to write down new blog post titles on subjects I want to talk about.

  1. Stop procrastinating.  I know this is probably obvious and you’ve heard it so many times before but sometimes you need to stop putting things off and just give it a go.  You never know how well it will turn out.  Even if you just do a rough draft or outline of what you want to achieve you can always come back to it and add to it over time when you’re feeling more creative.  So do it now!

  1. Experiment.  This kind of ties in with what I say above about not knowing how good something can be until you try it.  You want to create something that stands out and isn’t the same as the rest so experiment with different ideas and see how they turn out.

  1. Learn something new.  If you really completely run out of new ideas then why not try learning something new?  A new skill?  A new exercise?  Recipe?  Anything!  Not only will it inspire you but it will also open up a whole avenue of new discussions on your chosen new topic.



How do you keep creative?

My Favourite Looks From Fashion Week

Last month was 'Fashion Month' with showcases and catwalks taking place each week in different locations across London, New York, Paris and Milan.  Although I have been attending London Fashion Week for several years now, this time around I was in California and unfortunately could not attend any shows. However, that did not stop me from catching up once I was back from my trip to check out all the latest trends.  I was also browsing the   Esprit website   and noticed they had some awesome pieces just like the trends seen on the runway last month. Here are some of my favourites that I think are going to be hot this season and where you can copy the looks for less! Floral prints at Gucci.  You can shop the look for less here . All black at Marc Jacobs.  Shop the look for less here . Bows at Chloe.  Shop the look for less here . Sparkles at Alexander McQueen.  Shop the look for less here . Not only does   Esprit   do runway trends for

New Year, New You

As with every New Year, we make resolutions (you can see mine in my last post) but I think for most of us it's about becoming a newer and better person than we were last year.  I've come up with a few ways we can make little changes to become a newer and better you. New Hair I've said in many of my posts how much I like to change my hair and you can read about my hair dying experience here and my hair extensions experience here .  However, it needn't be a drastic change, just a little trim and some subtle highlights .  Whenever I change my hair I always feel like a new woman! New Wardrobe The New Year is probably the best time to invest in some new clothes because there are so many sales on.  You don't even have to spend a lot of money, I love affordable brands such as Esprit which do really on trend pieces at high street prices.  With a new wardrobe you will not only feel better but look better too!

How to Wear a Pink Lip

Wearing a pink lip can sometimes be quite hard, especially if it's a rather bright and vibrant shade but I think it looks so lovely for this time of the year. My favourite shade of pink is Impassioned by MAC .  It's very bright and has such a creamy texture that it glides on really well and stays put for quite a few hours.  I find I never have to wear a lip liner with this one either. When wearing a pink lip I think it's important to get the rest of your make up right so that you don't look washed up and colours don't clash. So starting off with the skin I would get myself nice and tanned.  My favourite tanners at the moment are the Superdrug Solait tan in dark and also Tan Truth which you can get from Sally's Salon Services.  Where I have just come back from Ibiza I have still got a bit of a tan so every few days I use the St Tropez Everyday gradual tanner and this helps top up my tan slightly. Then you've got to get the make-up right so
