Celebrate Life

The older I get, the more I understand the phrase "Celebrate Life." When I was growing up I was conditioned to only celebrate birthdays, graduations, weddings or other big events in your life. However, now as I get older and I become more happy with where my life is going, I take every opportunity to celebrate my daily accomplishments. One of the main things I celebrate is waking up each day and putting time into things that genuinely make me happy. 

Outside of my family, fashion is that thing that makes me most happy. Putting together an amazing outfit, giving fashion advice to a friend or learning something new about fashion is always great. ​I have mentally made it my mission to do things that make me both mentally and physically happy despite any financial gain. 

As you are in search of the thing that completes you or makes you happy, I challenge you to not let money be a driving factor. Additionally, as you go through the journey take time to celebrate your small accomplishments as well as the big ones. Only you know how far you have gone. 

Of course the way you celebrate is completely up to you, but I like to look good when I am out celebrating. There is nothing like a custom made tuxedo which fits well and let's those around you know you are in celebration mode. This week I am wearing a custom suit from one of my sponsors ALFA Custom Clothiers. For me when ever I wear a tuxedo I keep the accessories light, so a single pocket square and bow tie are all I need. The other brands I have on are a watch from Talley and Twine and shoes from MS Shoe Designs. Now when it comes to drinks, my favorite is vodka and my favorite brand is Kettle One. ​So, if you see me out and about, I'll take a Kettle One with cranberry with a splash of pineapple!!
