Job Interview Results

Dear Wonderful Reader,

So my job interview didn’t go well at all. I didn’t plan accordingly so I was 20 minutes late. Like I said I tried the honesty approach but it didn’t go well at all. It seems like people want to hear “groomed” answers at job interviews.

I was a little depressed driving home cause I felt like my true self isn’t as impressive as my “groomed” (fake) self in job interviews. But then I realized… to hell with it.

Oh Above is what I wore to my job interview.

The Easiest and Most Beautiful DIY Project on the Planet

I had so much fun with this project. It was such a joy to walk on the beach and look for all those little treasures. Luckily for me, It had plenty of them. Those precious seashells made me realize that beauty is all around us, we just need to make ourselves aware of it.

I placed my vase (or actually wine glass lol) on my desk, where I can see it constantly, because it inspires me to be creative and think outside of the box. Also, because it’s so beautiful and I’m very proud of it!

Another perfect place for it would be… the bathroom since seashells have a calming, soothing effect to them and they remind us of the beach. It will be the perfect view when you’re taking a relaxing bath.

Enjoy and tell me which version is your favorite!

Steps

1. Collect them! Try to only collect whole (none-broken ones) or whatever your eyes find appealing.

2. Wash them with mild hot water and let them sit for 10 minutes.

3. lay them out on their backs and let them air dry for as long as they need. Use a blow dryer if you’d like to speed up the process.

4. Divide them by pattern, shape, size, color, or whatever looks good to you.

5. Get a wine glass (like I used), bowl, vase, or anything that’s transparent.

You can spray-paint them as well, but I figured nail polish is cheaper and more accessible. I find that nail polish colors that work best are the ones that are almost transparent and/or only provide a nice sheen.
 

P.S. For an extra sassy kick spray them throughly (before placing them in the bowl) with your favorite perfume/spray, preferably one that smells ocean-y or a tropical one.

Inspiration: Be Too Positive

“Don’t look back and ask, “Why?” Look ahead and ask, “Why not?” When it comes to your dreams and goals, be too positive to be doubtful, too optimistic to be fearful, and too determined to be defeated.”

Inspiration: Follow your Heart

“Follow your heart. Be true to yourself. Do what makes you happy. Be with who makes you smile. Laugh as much as you breathe. Love as long as you live. Say what you need to say. Offer a helping hand when you’re able. Appreciate all the things you do have. Smile. Celebrate your small victories. Learn from your mistakes. Realize that everything is a lesson in disguise. Forgive. And let go of the things you can’t control.”

Things I have Watching Lately: “Whats your Number?”

I remember how “dumb” and “blah” were my impressions when I saw the trailer and the posters of this movie back when it was playing in theaters. To my great surprise, this movies turned out to be pretty awesome. It is def. in my “Favorite Romantic Comedies” movies list. This movie is really funny, quirky, entertaining, sweet, cute, heart-warming, and sexy. It is a little bit longer that your average chick flick but its def. worth it cause all the scenes are delightful. Anna fairs is really funny and very likable and Chris Evans is obviously really hot so ya 😉

Def give this amazing movie a try.

Things I Have Been Watching Lately: Life or Something Like It

All I can say is that I absolutely love this movie. It will always be one of my favorites and May I say I miss the 90’s romantic comedies, they’re so much better than the current junk.
Not only is this movie cute and entertaining but it also has a message and it makes you feel good and also makes you think. It makes you think about your life and its value. Are we LIVING or just existing?! And I love Angelina Jolie and she is stunning in this movie. And I just love the title. This is my kinda title lol.

Favorite Quote: “Someone once said, “Live everyday as if it were you last, cause one of these, it’s gonna be the last.” Jack was right, a part of me did die that day, the part of me that didn’t know how to live. What the future holds, Jack knows. But when I talk to him, I make sure we only talk about sports and weather.”

Funniest moment: When Jolie questions her boyfriend about the reason he’s in a relationship with her.

Things I have watching lately: New Girl

I just finished watching the whole first season of New Girl today. The show is entertaining and really funny at times. But I gotta say that the beging episodes were much more entertaining than the ones that proceeded. My favorite character is …..

Yep, you guessed it right. It is Schmidt. He’s the funniest of all of them. I think I like him the most because sometimes I can get all obnoxious and high-maintenance about my stuff just like he does lol. Also how he has his own system of doing things.

Also, Justin Long is one of my favorites male actors (especially his role in “He’s Just Not That Into to You”) and I really enjoyed his as Paul. He did an amazing job and his scenes were the funniest, especially the crying scenes lol.

Nick Miller….How can I say that. He’s cool. BUT I swear on some instants he reminds me exactly of a guy I used to date (It was one of those cough “relationships” cough, where you like the person at the beginning, then when you look back you’re like “What was I thinking, this guess is absolutely preposterous”) and on those instances I strongly dislike (more like HATE) him. Am I too immature?! IDK
