Sweets, 5k's and Jerks.

 So I started my new job last month and it has been a whirlwind. I'm finally feeling like I've got my bearings and can reinvest in some "me" time. I can't even explain how happy I am to have found this new job. Not to be a downer or anything but I legit think my last job gave me some type of post traumatic stress disorder.


 Dealing with negative crazy people is so draining and sucks the life out of you real quick. It was such an unhealthy place, but I've learned an important lesson that no amount of money is worth stress that starts to mess with your health. They are way less traumatic ways to mess with your health anyways like buying this book and eating all the creations that come out of it:

So here's to working with great people, laughing and eating sweets because life is too short to be bossed around by jerks you don't respect.


Oh, and I signed up for a 5K, so yeah that should be interesting. Got to find someway to burn off all those sweets though.

Hairbrained

I've been seeing a ton of victory roll tutorials out on the interwebs lately. I thought I would share the best one every created. Everyone should check out the tutorials on The CherryDollFace's Youtube channel, if your into vintage hair styles or makeup she's got you covered. Love her style! 

Sugar Fox Radio

You should be listening to this band. Lucero has been a favorite of mine for a long time. So freakin' good!

Dreamin'

I got some good news! I was offered a job! Hooray! Once all the background checks and stuff are done I should be starting in March. It hasn't really sunk in yet, since I've noticed that I've become very tentative to celebrate any good news as lately it all seems to be short-lived. Thats life though I guess. I worry too much. Waaaaaaaay to much. I am excited though to start a new job and hopefully meet some great new people and live happily ever after.:)

It's not my absolute dream job though, owning a candy shop is my absolute dream. {{{{{engage dream sequence}}}}}

                      One day it will be mine! 

                   

Chaos

Woah, it's been waaaaay too long since I've blogged. I've been thinking a lot about how I want to approach this little blog more and more since I started it. There are a ton of changes I would like to make that relate to how I want my business to expand in the future. Unfortunately my expansion plans are on hold until December, such a bummer, but tons better than being sued by a crazy person (long story). I guess this means that most of the content will be personal, which is fine by me cause I don't really connect to blogs that are all business, all the time. But I'm in my blogging infancy so what the hell do I know? lol thats right, blogging infancy.


In the meantime, I've been job-hunting crazy style. I have one position that I interviewed for in January and they will email me every week letting me know they are still considering me but just don't know when they are starting the position. Uh.....o.k. thanks, why the heck are you interviewing people without any idea when you would like them to start? So, now I'm waiting on one other interview that I did last week, I'm hoping I'll get more of a solid yes or no from them this week. I hate job-hunting. It's crazy how much I kind of miss the hustle and bustle of going to work. I know I will regret this statement as soon as I find gainful employment, ha!


I guess for now I will just have to embrace the uncertainty. For those of you who are more visual this would be an accurate depiction of my life as of late:

                    I'm guessing most of you could relate to this as well.     Embrace the Chaos!

Breathing

Just stopping in to post some bridal shower favor/centerpiece examples I put together. I've had fun putting together the paper flowers. I like the classic combination of Navy Blue, Cream and Gold. The cones will be filled with candy. I like the double duty favor and centerpiece combo these provide. Since this is just the prototype I'll share the finished version soon! 

On another note, the interview went well. Fingers crossed! They said I should know within 5-10 days. Keeping my eyes open for any other opportunities, in the meantime. Sometimes it's hard to not get overwhelmed by all the obstacles that keep popping up in life (lay-offs,deaths,house dreams not coming true, stress, miscarriage) but I'm just trying to plug along and not get too weighed down with it all.
