NEW BLOGGER: OLIVIA DANIELLE

Hello WORLD!
My name is Olivia & my life is about to change dramatically in the next month.
Why? Well, I can proudly say I am a student at FIDM. Even more, I am a student in the Beauty Industry Merchandising & Marketing program at FIDM.
Like most people who are about to attend FIDM, I am nervous, anxious, and excited.
I have decided to jot down all my emotions and experiences at FIDM and share with anyone out there who is interested.
There isn’t much information about the beauty industry at FIDM when you google it…

I plan on changing that.

Find your way... a little bit of inspiration to kick off Memorial Day Weekend.

Don’t complain that something is blocking your path. Find a way over it, under it, around it or through.

Just because the work is difficult doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Find a way, and you’ll absolutely make it happen.

You can’t expect to be told exactly what steps will get you where you want to go. Find joy and sweet fulfillment in the fact that it’s up to you to find your own way.
Don’t waste your time crafting elaborate excuses or seeking the pity of others. Invest your precious time in finding a way forward.
You might think it would be nice if someone else were to cater to your every need and whim. Yet what your spirit truly desires is to find its own way, and deep inside you know that.
You were born to find your own unique way through life’s richness of possibilities. Your treasures await, so get going right now.
— Ralph Marston
