Pinky Promises…

Pinky Promises. Heard about them? Well, given this blog focuses on quality of life at work and play, I became a tad excited when I discovered Pink Hope’s Pinky Promise concept. Pink Hope is a preventative health organisation working to ensure every individual can assess, manage and reduce their risk of breast and ovarian cancer, while providing personalised support for at risk women. The Pinky Promise concept centres on ensuring that no matter what, you’ll have your BFF’s back when it comes to their health, while Pink Hope will have yours.

Yep, it’s all about looking out for one another. As simple as making a pinkie promise with your bestie on one thing you will do to maintain your well-being and then, because nothing exists unless it’s documented on social media, posting a selfie sharing your promises #BFFPinkyPromise.

A selfie that could just help save you (and your bestie’s) life!

Pinky PromiseElle editor-in-chief Justine Cullen and Pink Hope founder Krystal Barter made the promises: ‘to get more sleep‘ and ‘always be in control of my health and be my own health advocate‘ to one another. Models Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Lily Aldridge shared’To meditate daily’ and ‘to always remember what matters in life is health and happiness’ and from Blogger’s Elle Ferguson and Tash Sefton of ‘They All Hate Us’ Blog – ‘I promise to breathe and put myself first!‘ and ‘I promise to lose my phobias that stop me from getting health checks

Love your bestie to the moon and back? Why not sidle up to them, check out the PinkyPromise instructions, make your Pinky Promises to one another then post #BFFPinkyPromise to the site. See you there!

Listen up gals!

Listen up gals! A few too many of you have been lamenting the struggles of holding your own in the work environment of late. Cases in point –  an Engineer fighting to establish credibility in her typically male-dominated industry, a banking professional consistently denied the opportunity to drive major projects due to her need for parentally driven flexible hours. Both exceptionally qualified, both exhausted, both hemorrhaging confidence. Bet it’s no surprise to you (and them) that some of the world’s most successful people have also braved the same tough road. Suffering the same fate? Well gals, I’ve sourced a few fantabulous quotes to help you get back to kicking ass – read on:

1.The Universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if you can find them.” – Elizabeth Gilbert – Big Magic

2. “Just because you feel fear doesn’t mean you can’t do it. Do it afraid.” – Joyce Meyer

3.Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” – Oscar Wilde

4.Speak your mind even if your voice shakes.” – Maggie Kuhn

5.I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.” – Eric Roth

6.If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

7.Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” – Albert Einstein

8.If you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.” – Roald Dahl

9.Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.” – Henry Ford

10.We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” – Oscar Wilde
