Life lately #3

I have a lot of inspirational women in my life, which I'm very thankful for. Hearst (who own magazines like ELLE, Cosmopolitan and RED) are launching an 'empowering women' campaign (follow it here) so I thought I'd tie all this together with today's post!

My mum has always been a massive inspiration, and no one could ever rival her. Recently however, my boyfriends mum Babs has been venturing out into a world that she's never really gone into before, which I'm super proud of and wanted to share!

While sitting on the sidelines in complete awe at how easily she moved from over 30 years in the army (and full time mum) to a four week internship in London with RED magazine, and also pallying up with various celebrities, I realised that it's never to late to find what you love, or even change what you love. Apparently it's also never too late to adapt to the classier life of London, which she did seamlessly. 

Babs has been a complete inspiration to me since the day I met her, and even more so after having watched her done so well from her month writing with RED.  It's definitely made me more aware that if you love something and want to do it, then you should and it's never too late to make that choice. Deciding recently that I might not want to do anything related to my degree is terrifying. Did I waste three years? No, because it's helped me as a person even if I end up being anything, a florist or a make up artist. Neither very likely, but possible.

This months copy of RED is out now if you fancy a look at the full article, and there's a little bit online if you fancy a read. I might not be the next grown up intern (I don't think I'm the 'career change' candidate they were thinking of), but I've definitely learnt a lot from reading about other women choosing to change their careers for them.
