I want big hair.

I'm a Dallas girl... so of course this is what I want!

I have naturally big, curly hair but when I straighten it, it likes to do this:

but I crave this:

My Interview

Well, here is the winning outfit for today's interview. I shopped for 2 days to find this! lol It was intense...

Sorry about the messy living room in the background! lol

I got the skirt from NY&Co for $40 and the shirt from Ross for $8. I wore brown 1-2" heels [not pictured because we took this when I came home from the interview and my feet were hurting so I took them off lol]

I must say I loved my outfit! I was very pleased with the outcome. :)

Soooooooo... about the interview:

It was much tougher than I expected! There were some questions that I didn't quite know how to answer but the people interviewing me were very positive and friendly. I think it went good but I can't say "Oh I know I got this job!" lol Simply put, I have no idea what they'll decide. lol

Here's my opinion:

If I get this job, then fantastic! I can't wait to start learning and working. I am excited to be able to help others and learn more about the profession I've chosen.

If I don't get this job, then it only means that God has something better for me, something that must be better suited to my needs. I believe that God knows best and he will take care of me.

We'll find out Monday!

I've got a job interview!!

I am so excited because I finally have a job interview for a position I've been trying to get all summer! I am SO nervous and a little freaked out because I've never interviewed for a "real" job. I mean, this is a job that requires a bachelor's degree so it's not your average part-time job interview.

Now, my new dilemma: What to wear?? I would really prefer to wear a skirt rather than a pant suit. I've heard a study on the subject of interview attire which found that women who wore [tasteful] skirts received more job offers compared to those who wore pants.

I want to look reserved and professional but I also want to show a little bit of personality. I've googled interview attire and it's all the same. Every woman looks so "stuffy" and boring yet when I go into stores like NY&Co, it's professional yet stylish clothing. Any advice??

*I'd love links to actual photos!!

Why did I not think of this before??

Ok, so how many of you (including myself) are guilty of going to bed without washing your face? I know there are times when I am just so tired all I want to do is go to bed. I don't feel like standing over the sink to wash my face, apply moisturizer, etc [whatever your skin routine involves] so guess what? I don't. I really do try to wash my face EVERY NIGHT but sometimes I just say "screw it."

Well... I was watching some Youtube videos [I was bored] and this young woman shared a tip that made me wanna just knock myself in the forehead! lol She says that you should keep cleansing cloths [such as Olay] by your bedside so when you get in bed before thinking about washing your face, you can just grab one and wipe your face! How easy is that! I am so gonna go buy some today.

I can't believe I didn't think of that before... Do any of you use this little trick?

For all skin types: Olay Daily Facials Express

For a more "luminous" result: Olay Definity Illuminating Makeup Removing Cloths

I am sure that almost every skin care brand has their own type of cleansing cloths... So you can pick the one that's best for you. I just used Olay as an example.

*Make sure that the towelettes/cleansing cloths you purchase are already WET! I know some of them come dry and you just wet it yourself & that would defeat the purpose of keeping them bedside lol*

I also wanted to give credit where credit is due! I got this tip from Alba Mayo on Youtube.

My number 1 pet peeve about waitressing...

I can't stand it when people talk down to me, like I'm stupid, because I am a waitress. I have a college degree. I am NOT an idiot. I'm only working this stupid job because I am going to GRADUATE school and with the economy right now, I have to take what I can get.

DON'T talk down to me like I'm uneducated.

New Jewelry for my Etsy Shop!

So I haven't worked on my Etsy shop in about a MONTH... I'm so happy to say I've got 3 new creations :)

Turquoise Porcelain Beaded Bracelet

These little black earrings are SO much more gorgeous in person! The picture doesn't really do it justice...

Dream Necklace - just a simple round pendent

Bella Cene'

*I haven't listed the necklace yet but I plan to have them posted by the end of today! The earrings & bracelet, however, are available at this time on my site.*

Casual yet fashionable

I saw someone today wearing this outfit and I thought to myself... "Wow, that outfit looks absolutely effortless yet still 'put together'."

I love it... It's totally my style.
