Balance

Before the weather took a hideous turn for the worse, I was enjoying the transition between summer and fall by wearing impractical sweaters without being oppressed by a coat. But alas, it seems that winter is upon us early, and that I’ll have to be going coat shopping earlier than expected.

On to more personal matters – I know I’ve been inconsistent with my posts as of late, and that’s because I recently started working. I’m so excited to tell you guys that I’m now part of the web team for ELLE Canada! Aside from the fact that this is probably the best thing to happen to me in terms of my career, I’m really struggling to balance life and work. It’s been so difficult to regulate my Instagram posts and find time to shoot when I’m working an average of 9-10 hours a day. Not to mention, meal planning is a disaster. I’ve not had time to cook, which means I’ve been eating out nearly everyday, leaving me feeling bloated and disgusting. I have a newfound respect for people who manage their blog while working full time so flawlessly. If you have any tips, I’d love to hear them.

    You are stunning and not at all bloated or anything close to that! I understand what you’re going through, blogging and managing social media is pretty time/energy consuming. Congratulations on your new job, that is so exciting! You do the best you can, you’re handling better than you think.

    Love this transition between summer and fall! Congrats for your new job Siffat, I’m so happy for you!! I just started to work this week, and honestly it’s hard to find time to shoot, blog and post on Insta! But I still try to find a little moment to keep going on. Many kisses from Paris, and take the best of this job!!
