Note from the editor Hi

I’m extremely excited about this editon of the magazine! It strays away from the typical romantic yuk we usually see around Valentines day!

Instead, we are able to celebrate GIRL POWER and SELF LOVE. I hope whilst you are reading Glow you are able to feel empowered and extra sparkly, which will hopefully allow you to shine with whatever you may encounter this month!

HOW SHE DID IT Meet Claire Amelia.

She is the proud owner of The Bridal Emporium, bridal boutique.

The shop offers a made to measure, coture service, celebrating indepedent british designers and true vintage wedding dresses. Having a love for vintage, she found herself collecting vintage treasures and

before she knew it she was selling vintage gowns to brides to be.

Claire is just about to launch her very own bridal gown range and so we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to pop in and find out just how she conquered her dream!

Education: Studied for 5 years in fashion, tailoring and historical costume and then going on to work in the wedding industry in some fabulous bridal shops in Yorkshire.

Advice: Never stop believing that you are capable of achieving your dreams.

There will be tough times, but in the end they just make you a lot stronger.

Fave quote: ‘Everything happens for a reason.’

#GOALS

She believed she could, so she did

Anything that we get slightly envious about these days is almost always reffered to as ‘Goals’we’ve all heard it and probably said it ourselves (whilst insta-stalking our fave celebs!)

'

However, as a Glow girl, it is essential that we set ourselves important goals and work towards achieving them, no matter how big or small!

Glow girls don’t say ‘I wish’, they say ‘I will’.

Did you know?

People who write down their goals are more likely to achieve them than those who don’t.

Cut out this goals chart, fill it in and tick them off once you’ve reached it! Remember success is yours for the taking and anything is achieveable.

If Howard Schultz gave up after being turned down by banks 242 times, there would be no Starbucks.

What do you do?

What could you do?

What's stopping you?

If Walt Disney quit too soon after his theme park concept was trashed 302 times, there would be no Disneyland.

If J.K. Rowling stopped after being turned down by multiple publishers for years, there would be no Harry Potter.

Anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.- J.K. Rowling

One thing is for sure: If you give up too soon, you’ll never know what you’ll be missing.

Keep going and NEVER quit.

Who RUN the world?

girls

GIRL HATE: The unprovoked act of trash-talking or bad-mouthing another girl’s body, personality or actions.

Talk about other girls the way you would want to be spoken about.

Stand up for other girls, do not tear them down.

Other girls are not my competition, I stand with them, not against them.

It is NOT an insult to be like every other girl.

Is every other girl so terrible?

Respect and Support.

LOVE your sisters!

#Glow,reading.

“The more that you read, the more things you will know.

The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”Dr. Suess

Sophia Amoruso spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and scrounging in dumpsters for leftover bagels. By age twenty-two she had dropped out of school, and was broke, directionless, and checking IDs in the lobby of an art school-a job she’d taken for the health insurance. It was in that lobby that Sophia decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay.

Flash forward ten years to today, and she’s the founder and executive chairman of Nasty Gal, a $250-million-plus fashion retailer with more than four hundred employees. Sophia was never a typical CEO, or a typical anything, and she’s written #GIRLBOSS for other girls like her: outsiders (and insiders) seeking a unique path to success, even when that path is windy as all hell and lined with naysayers. #GIRLBOSS proves that being successful isn’t about where you went to college or how popular you were in high school. It’s about trusting your instincts and following your gut; knowing which rules to follow and which to break; when to button up and when to let your freak flag fly.

Think of Wreck This Journal as the anarchist’s Artist’s Way -- the book for those who’ve always wanted to draw outside the lines but were afraid to do it.

For anyone who’s ever wished to, but had trouble starting, keeping, or finishing a journal or sketchbook comes Wreck This Journal, an illustrated book featuring a subversive collection of suggestions, asking readers to muster up their best mistake - and mess-making abilities to fill the pages of the book (and destroy them).

Through a series of creatively and quirkily illustrated prompts, acclaimed artist Keri Smith encourages journalers to engage in “destructive” acts - poking holes through pages, adding photos and defacing them, painting with coffee, colouring outside the lines, and more - in order to experience the true creative process. With Keri Smith’s unique sensibility, readers are introduced to a new way of art and journal making, discovering novel ways to escape the fear of the blank page and fully engage in the creative process.y.

If you’re aiming for a productive day at school, the BEST way to prepare is with a nice and relaxing bubble bath!

Pop either one of these bath bombs under the running water, give it a swirl around and hop on in. Love your body- it is the most amazing thing you will ever own.

Five days of self love!

Cut out this chart, carry out the activity and fill it in each day!

By day five YOU should be your own favourtie person.

Day 1

Switch off your phone for 1 hour. Dedicate this time for yourself. Listen to music or watch an episode of your fave TV show. ‘Me-time’ is the best time to recharge and relax!

Day 2

Speak to someone you wouldn’t usually speak to. Even if it is just a small hello. You never know, you may find out something really intersting!

Day 3

Go for a walk. Whilst you do, really take notice of everything around you. Take some pictures of anything you see that takes your fancy.

Day 4

Start a new book. This could be one completely different to what you usually read. You might enjoy stepping out of your comfort zone and find new characters to fall in love with.

Day 5

I enjoyed this because...

I began to realise how IMPORTANT it was to be an entusiast in LIFE. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, GO AT IT FULL SPEED. Embrace it with both arms, HUG IT, LOVE IT and above all become passionate about it.

Eat something REALLY yummy.

What have you been craving this week? Ice-cream? Chocolate?

Today is the day to go and get it!
