Change of plans

One of my 2011 New Year’s resolutions is to visit Paris. I’m still going (I hope) but it would not be how I imagined it originally.

I was also pretty happy with work. The new company I joined end of last year seems to be what I was looking for. Great job scopes, great colleagues, great clients list. But opportunities for me were limited, and I find myself  on the lookout for something fresh just seven months down the road.

Oddly though, something fresh turns out to be freelancing. It happened through a series of non-related events and now I’ve taken my first step into the unknown. Didn’t see it coming so fast, but hey, no one’s complaining.

I have always wanted to jump back into the fashion industry and create my own fashion line one day and I still want that, but I found a facial sheet mask brand that I thought was fabulous and I see potential in selling that instead so I created www.lumineuse.me. Didn’t see that one coming either.

I wanted to kill this blog and turn to a more professional one with industry related posts and look where I am now, at 2:30am in the morning. Whenever I feel troubled, I need an outlet. Vera-Ikon is my outlet.

A lot of things have changed in a span of just a few months. If you told me a few months ago that my Paris trip would not materialise I would tell you that I was certain it would. If you told me a few months ago that I would quit my job and do this on my own, I would laugh and say ‘No f**king way’. If you told me a few months ago that I would sign up with a gym, I would probably say ‘Do I look like I need to go to the gym?’ :p  If you told me a few months ago that I’d be selling facial sheet masks online, I would probably say ‘I’m not interested in beauty products’.

Well, I guess sometimes (as someone told me) life’s a funny one ;)
