I am so thankful to have Jennine take my outfit shots-they are few and far between but when I get them done (usually the days I work for IFB), I think it’s worth the wait. (YES, it was that cold that I worn FUR in the summertime. Hey, it’s San Francisco.)

My “work weeks” have been usually insane. Normally, I keep myself super organized, everything gets written down, checked off, replenished, etc. However, I’ve come home to a messy apartment, missed important appointments, forget to follow up with people- I feel like a mess. So, I’m going home today to be with my family and relax.

I attended a wonderful event in San Francisco the other day, thanks to Christina for lending me her ticket and also to Meghan for hosting such a great mixer.

Networking Tips

  1. Be prepared with your business cards with correct/updated info
  2. Breathe and relax!
  3. Work the room-smile, appear approachable and be willing to introduce yourself
  4. Yuri did something great at the event-She had great questions to ask one another which sparked great conversation. So come prepared to ask some fun questions you’d genuinely like answered
  5. Always be yourself. People know when you’re faking even when they don’t know you
  6. Have fun and remember, don’t take yourself seriously!

This was quite the candid moment, but THAT FACE is exactly how I’ve been feeling as of late; flared nostrils and all.

Yayyy- for not using copyrighted music! Anyway, I’m not sure what I was on when I thought of this video but it surely made sense in my brain.

Are there any metaphors you use to compare your life? What are they? Are they as ridiculous as mine?

YAYYYY for stupid metaphors!

Vegas was amazing and a much needed trip before the hustle and bustle of my new career adventure starts. Thanks to my girls who made this trip memorable and having the best time of our lives. Now, on with it.

I’m back from vacation. It was amazing and much needed.
However, considering where I vacationed, few pictures will even be uploaded.
All I can say regarding the Vegas trip; DEAD.

I haven’t quite posted my big news yet so today is the day I
spread the good news. I am an official business owner! I recently purchased my
own store from my previous employer. I couldn’t ask for a better opportunity
and it has finally arrived. More details will be announced as soon as I can
share.

Thanks to my family & friends who have supported me on
this journey.

Hell yes, I finally have a career. Not just a job.

Check out my announcement vid<3.
