"You curse yourself for things you've never done."

This is just a little inspiration post. I recently joined Pinterest and have since spent hours (no, make that days!) pinning pretty pictures of dream kitchens and craft things that I'll never in a million years get around to making! But the thing I seem to be pinning the most are little inspirational quotes. There's always one that seems to relate to exactly what I'm thinking about at that particular moment. So here's a few inspirational quotes about living life to the full and taking chances and opportunities! I'm sure everyone can relate to these in different ways but for me right now, it's a career and job situation. When opportunities come up you just have to take them and run with them! I don't want go all YOLO, but I'm going to because it's true, you do only live once!

"So your answer, don't be scared of failure. The only failure is never to try."   - Passenger

No. 81 Princes Street

A few weeks ago my work relocated from number 79 Princes Street to number 81! Not a very far move, which I'm sure we were all hugely thankful for, since the teamwork of moving 7000 shoe boxes (not even half!) just two doors along the street was hard enough work for one day! The work of relocating was a hugely strenuous and physically tiring few days but the end result was so fulfilling. The new shop is refitted with the new Clarks interior design style, very aesthetically different to our old store with such a fresh new feel. It's designed with the consumer in mind, making the Clarks shopping experience easier and more pleasurable. As soon as we were shown around the newly refitted shop, we all loved it and as the men's department team leader it feels so great to have a brand new department to make my own! It was a great experience to be involved in one of Clarks' biggest refits and having a brand new shiny shop to work in is great! The response from our customers has been lovely too! The CEO of Clarks even came in during her holiday to Edinburgh to have a look at our new shop, I was starstruck!! 

So if you too are in Edinburgh, pop in and say hi! And if you're not then here's some snaps from our opening day! (Opened by Jack Nano and Daisy, the Clarks mascots...obviously!)
