BRB...

I posted this on my Facebook page too,

but this week, I have a super-major deadline, and a schedule that

is making it hard for me to sleep. Ever have those weeks?

I wish my 'completing tasks' look was as collected as this beautiful

So, I will be constantly updating my Facebook page as normal,

('like' it if you haven't already -->)

but my blog posting will be extremely light. Next week will be loaded

with amazing posts however. I will have the taste of Dubai recap and  a

review of all the food I tasted there, including a picture of Aarti Sequira's 

autograph to all you lovely readers.

However I'm more like this picture here, trying to hold everything in place

making sure I meet every mini deadline! {via pinterest}

Not to mention an exclusive after event post on a new boutique that's opening in

Dubai over the weekend (It's called 'West LA') which makes me very excited already!

Stress, To Do Lists, & Deadlines

This week (not to mention this month) I have several major deadlines & endless to do lists

This picture is calming and expresses that I can't wait to be done with my checklists
so I can relax! I wish I was on that bed with the white drapes, grass, sun, and candle
around me. Don't we all when we have busy days/weeks?

TIP: One thing that always calms the nerves is to-do lists. I feel like I'm transferring the
jungle of thoughts in my head, systematically onto paper. Once I have every task
down on a piece of paper, and I prioritize them, and have everything in order/in files,
stress leaves me, and it's all on that to-do list. It's like the list is my P.A.!

I think that amidst being stressed and trying to get tasks done, it's always important

to never forget to drink enough water, eat right - don't rush and grab junk food - and 

take breaks - don't burn out!

What are your ways of relaxing?
How do you deal with several deadlines and tasks?
