The Magic of Quotes on a Rainy Day.

Happy Tuesday everyone. Hope you all had a relaxing and fun Bank Holiday Weekend doing whatever brings you joy:) I had my head in the books unfortunately, but only four more exams left and i'm a free women! 

A habit I've gotten into into recently is looking up a #DailyQuote on my morning bus journey into college. It is incredible how a nice thought at the beginning of the day can set up your mood and outlook for the day.

These are a few of my favourite quotes that get me pumped up for the day ahead and will hopefully get you over the 'dreaded Tuesday' after a bank holiday. LOL!

'Wake up everyday with the thought something amazing is going to happen!'

'Everyday has the potential to be the best day of your life, so why not today?'

Instead of thinking about all the things you don't want to do today such as going to work, going to school, sitting an exam... think of the people you will meet, the memories you could make, the laugh you will have and the experiences you will share with the people around you. Today could be the day you meet the love of your life! Anything is possible:)

'Today you are you that is truer then true, there is no one on earth that is youer then you.'- Dr.Suess

Dr.Suess quotes are just amazing and so full of wisdom. Why worry when you are your absolute perfect self!? No one else can do a better job of being you then you so stop comparing your life to others. 

'Start everyday with a grateful heart' 

We all have something to be grateful for no matter how small! It can be as simple as having shoes on our feet or actually having feet to get us to the places we want to go in life :) When we focus on what we already have and not the things we want the world seems like a brighter, better place. If we stay focused on what we don't have we will never be happy as we are always looking for more but in reality everything we need to be happy is already in our life.

'You are what you do, not what you say you'll do'

'Always find a reason to laugh. It may not add years to your life but it'll add life to your years' 

Life is too short to be taken serious all the time so loosen up, do what makes you happy and don't worry or stress about the little things. Everything always works out in the end. We are here once so why waste it worrying. 

I'll finish with one final quote that sums it all up...

'Y.O.L.O'

Benefiting from benefit;)

So recently I went for a job in benefit but unfortunately I didn't get it. Its ok though because I believe everything happens for a reason:) If you try once and don't succeed, that doesn't mean you give up, right ?:)

The recruitment team told me I didn't have enough knowledge about the brand which led me to do a bit of research I would like to share with you...

Did you know......

Benefit was founded in 1976 when modeling twins Jean and Jane Ford retired from their modelling career. They weren't sure what to do next and their decision whether to set up a beauty boutique or a casserole cafe was  based on a coin toss!! Can you believe it ?:O I couldn't when I first read it either lol! A casserole cafe and a beauty boutique are complete opposites! Tails for a beauty boutique or heads for a casserole cafe. Thank goodness it landed on tails or we wouldn't have all the fun quirky make up products by benefit in our make up bags today :) 

They set up their beauty boutique 'The Face Place' in San Francisco in 1976. It was originally a place where women would come to them with their 'beauty problems' and 'flaws' then the twins would come up with a product to correct this 'flaw'.

A funny story I came across was the origin of the product 'benetint'. About a year after the twins set up 'The Face Place' an exotic dancer arrived in their shop. Her request was that she wanted a product that gave her nipples a rosy colour,  AND VOILAA!  Bentint was created!!

Today Bentint is one of Benefit's most popular product, it is a rose-tinted lip and cheek stain and next on my shopping list:)  Did you know one is sold every minute! That means approx. 30 have been sold since I began writing this post! 

Today Benefit is known for its quirky and creative products! The names of the products and the cute and girly packaging is one of my favourite things about the brand. It makes their products stand out from any other brand because of the humorous names:) Hopefully with all my new knowledge about the brand I will be successful the next time they are recruiting and if not thats cool too because maybe my life is to take another path, who knows ? :)
