Whenever you commit yourself to something you love, you have to go after it with all your heart. Speaking from experience, it has been tough to do this but a couple months back I made a promise to myself to wholeheartedly go after things that made me smile, made me happy and just brought peace to my life. In doing that, the bad things and toxic people leave you. They leave you because when you’re beginning to live your best life, you have no time to worry about what others think about you or how they perceive you; you just live for your own fulfilment.

1.) Be Brave

It takes bravery to follow your dreams, and those who achieve greatness are the people willing to be scared but not scared off. You have to be willing to take calculated risks.

2.) Be Respectful

Your success is entirely based on your reputation, so you have to be kind to others, be aware and respect the people around you. Never forget to speak your mind, but be careful to think before you speak.

3.) Be Yourself

This is something I strongly believe. You really don’t have to sacrifice your personality, beliefs or lose who you are to achieve success in life. Just stay true to your core values and focus on your goals and you will accomplish the things you want.

4.) Believe In Yourself

Now this is incredibly important. Belief in oneself is like none other, because when no one believes in you, you only have yourself.

There are times when I’ve been broke, down and out and just at my wits end, but then I think of why I started doing what I’m doing and I snap out of all the ‘sadness’. My belief in myself is paramount to anything. If not me, who? If not now, when?

5.)Look after yourself

I’ve never been an unhealthy person but I also never exercised (apart from playing sports in school). So in August 2016, I began going to the gym in order to keep fit, tone up and get my heart rate up. When all is said and done, the only way that you’ll truly ever live your best life, and get the most out of every day, is if you take care of yourself. “Good health is the key to happiness, and happiness is the key to success.”

And in the great words of Kanye West, let up the suicide doors, this is my life home you decide yours.

So we all have those moments when life gets ahead of us and when we may not know where exactly we’re headed. Well, there’s this blog that I read frequently and you may have heard of her, but if you haven’t she goes buy Zanita Whittington. I thought my platform was super positive until I began reading hers, so that’s why I’d like to share some links that personally helped me as a growing fashion and lifestyle blogger.
I hope it helps you as well! Please leave a comment if so and also let me know what you want to hear/see more of on my blog.

Have a lovely week Ribbons! Xx

Do you ever feel like you’re putting your ‘all’ into your blog, but not seeing results? Well this post on ‘the secret to growing your following’ will definitely help you.

Have you ever felt unmotivated about life, career, work, family etc.? Well this post on ‘staying motivated when you’re not’ is sure to give you some helpful tips.

So, I know that I personally struggle with goal setting, because they tend to seem so far away and almost impossible (because my goals and dreams are rather big, lol) but after reading this post on ‘the best approach to setting goals and achieving them’ definitely gave me a positive outlook.

So this post is directed at my fellow blogger girls. The harsh truth that we all need to hear, but not a discouraging one still. ‘Why only 4% of bloggers make it’. As I mentioned, this is not to discourage you all, but to keep you abreast with the harsh reality that comes with blogging. Fashion blogging, to be exact.

Have you ever been in a difficult situation and just had no idea where to go next? Confused about the how’s, the why’s and the when’s? Well this post on ‘how to make smart choices in difficult situations’ will definitely be helpful to you.

Hope you’re all having a great start to the week and if you'd love to learn A LOT more on life and entrepreneurship, head over to Zanita Studio! xx

RUNWAY RIBBONS X MOTIF.ME

11^th October 2016 2

Hey Ribbons! So I know it’s been a while, but I’m here now with a lovely collaboration that I believe you will all love. Before I get into those details, I just want you to know why I’ve been a bit MIA. I have been working very hard on my womenswear line that will be revealed to you all in the New Year. There is still a lot left to do with regards to manufacturing and fabrics, but I must say it is coming together very well. I prefer to take my time on these things, which is why I haven’t really had much time for blogging.

You know me, whenever I blog, I prefer to bring you guys something substantial. Needless to say, words of substance take time, which I don’t seem to have too much of these days. If you would like to keep up with my design process, then follow me at @nengiwilliepepple on instagram. So the lovely jewellery brand motif.me contacted me with regards to a small collaboration and once I saw their pieces, and because I absolutely love jewellery and especially stacking rings and bracelets (and more recently, layering necklaces too), I was ready to sign on the dotted line.

Christmas is around the corner and what better way to surprise your mum, sister, girlfriend, niece, aunt and any other special lady in your life than to get her something delicate and tasteful. Well now you can, if you head over to (motif website), you can now get $20 off your first order by entering my promo code ‘runwayribbons’ at the check out. For my non US readers, fear not, they offer frees shipping, so all you will be paying for is your newly discounted piece(s) of jewellery. I wouldn’t promote something that I genuinely didn’t love, so you can rest assured that these pieces

LIFE IS FULL OF CHOICES

17^th September 2016 10

Life is full of choices, and I choose Nengi.

(Bit corny, but hear me out.)

Some of us go through life tip toeing around things, overthinking, overanalysing and generally worrying about things that are out of our control. Where exactly does that get us? Simple answer, nowhere.

Life is honestly too short to stress over a myriad of things. I do worry about life from time to time and my mum always tells me to stop it. She has this ability to be resilient when faced with adversity. In her words, ‘Everything will be fine, trust me.’ Once I hear her say ‘trust me’, I honestly feel calmer. You should see her when she says it as well, it’ truly calming. But I digress.

I choose me in all things. I always tell my friends ‘look out for number one’. ‘Number one’, being you. This is not to say be selfish, but as long as you’re not breaking any laws or hurting anyone, then you should most definitely do what makes you happy. Stop worrying about he said/she said, fair weather friends, non-supporters and hateful people. Stop overthinking every little situation, stop overanalysing parts of your life story and just embrace it and work with it. I say this not because I am perfect in all of this, but I have been practicing what I preach for quite sometime now and it has done me nothing but favours.

Do you, because everything else is secondary.
