Bloggers take Bendels … Bloggers take Bendels 💋

February 1st is tomorrow 🙈🙈🙈 how , when , what ??? Are all I keep asking myself. I'm not sure if I'm the only one? but I feel like everything from January 2nd till till today was a blur. I had a blank month ahead of me & I feel like I didn't use it to the fullest extent. I don't want to beat myself up because that won't help me in anyway. But I have to confess something it's hard out there and I sort of slacked off. It's very difficult to see former friends of mine moving on in life & feeling stuck in the same place it makes me think why bother trying? It's hard to struggle to rebuild a #socialmedia brand / persona/ carrer what ever you want to name it. When you see former classmates becoming #influencers on Instagram overnight & talking about fashion when you know they are former bullies who made fun of you for loving fashion years ago . It can be difficult to be happy for others & that's okay to admit.With gratitude & positivity being the insta buzz words in the orthodox community it can feel very alienating when you don't feel that stuff every day. Sure I am grateful to be alive & everyone loves postivity but can we be honest & admit that what we really connect to is someone who isn't afraid to share that they don't have it together. Am I a lesser human because I don't look insta worthy everyday or because I don't have dinner at all the hot spots . Or I don't respond to my dms or comments asap No !!! It means I'm human . I used to be that girl who spent thousands ( 15 to be exact) of dollars trying to fit in & be popular by shopping at #bendels & hanging out in Soho because that was the hot spot in those days. Looking back I am grateful that I experienced that pre social media time . I got to discover who I am with out the added pressure of having to document my every move. My goal for February is to let it all go and just be me. I realized if the time flies & I didn't Instagram enough or gain thousands of followers it's okay because it means I am living for me & not the screen. I'm not sure where February will take me but I'm leaving the page empty & I'll see where it takes me. #milkasmusing #realtalk #copyright #life #competition 📷 @picsart https://www.instagram.com/p/BtUs68inQHu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=128oeoahkxy3r

" Whoever said money can't solve your problems, must not have had enough money to solve them." Right ? WRONG !!! When I was a kid I got hit by a car twice in the same year. Everyone used to tell me you are so lucky you got so much money. Well with that $ 20,000 came two scars that I have on my hands for life, plus lots of emotional baggage. The day I got that money I thought all my problems were solved! 20,000 spent at the three B #bendels #barneys & #bergdorfs hoping that retail therapy would help me not need regular therapy . Plus traveling ( running away) every time life got hard & @chanel makeup isn't cheap the money is all gone. I still have my scars & my problems. Sure it's nice having money, it helps in shidduchim, schools , shopping but all it does is make some problems go away but it may bring others along the way. If your using money to mask your true emotions I guarantee you the price of happiness is not the prettiest pair of #redbottoms it's #chanel lipstick 🙈🤣 in all seriousness though , today being #bellletstalk day I want to encourage more people to reach out for help & talk. I'm sure that if I had spoken up earlier instead of trying to ignore the pain I would have saved a lot of #money . I know the new Instagram trend is #postivity & gratitude but even with all that , we all have days where we sometimes feel like life is hard & it's okay to share that. Because yes we all like a pretty picture but I like real people more. Trust me I was the girl who walked around in the designer clothes before being a fashion blogger was a thing they didn't make me any more happy ! All I ended up with was to many pairs of #michaelkors shoes sitting on a shelf & a bunch of designer #beauty products that are probably expired. True happiness comes when you deal with the pain. Than you can go ahead and buy all the swanky things you want simply because you like them , not because your trying to use them to solve your problems. #milkasmusing #thoughts #copyright #bloggernotvlogger #mentalhealth #emotions 📷 @picsart https://www.instagram.com/p/BtSH2Aznr39/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mee0vmzj3zun
