Life Update

So little ladies, I have been MIA for quite some time, I know. BUT, this is actually a good thing! I have been very busy doing lots of fun things! Also, I have been getting more hours at work and that is something that I am unbelievably grateful for. Between those two things, blogging has obvs taken a back seat. But here I am now to share with you what has been going on in my stressful, crazy, sometimes overwhelming, wonderful life!

First, as I said, I have been getting more hours at work which makes me a very happy girl! I am making some good sales and really feeling like an essential part of the team! I am the newest employee but I finally don't feel that way anymore! (Thank goodness because it has been 8 months!)

Second, I am looking for a second job to work this summer. Our little store depends on the local college a lot so we don't get to work as often when the students go home. This stresses me out a little but it does give me an opportunity to find something I could make a career out of.

On that note, I am applying to a MAC cosmetics counter! I have absolutely no experience in makeup, but (thanks to my current job) I do have sales experience. I recently learned that you do not have to have a cosmetology license to work at a MAC counter, that they will send you to train for a week and then back every few months to update your skills and familiarity with new products. I am hoping that, although I don't have a license or experience, my excitement and personality will help me to get the job. I would absolutely need that experience to get another job in that field somewhere else and hopefully make a career of it. (Keep your fingers crossed for me! Taking my application this week!)

Went out with some friends the other weekend to see the band that our monogrammer plays in. It was the first time I had seem them and they were amazing! It was a lot of fun and good to get out and let loose! Finally acting like a 22 year old! Will definitely be doing this again!

Also saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers and OF COURSE they were amazing! One of the best concerts I have ever been to! The music was unbelievable and the lights were awesome! Makes me super pumped to see the Dave Matthews Band next month!

Friday night my sweet, sweet boyfriend and I went on a much needed date! We had tons of Japanese food and went to see Titanic! It was amazing and we had a lot of fun! He makes me laugh so much and I am so thankful for him and for the time we get to spend together.

Lastly, I went to The Mart in Atlanta for the first time Saturday and spent more money than I should have but LOVE everything I got! It was so crazy in there, so big, so many things, and so many people! I hope to go back soon and hopefully have more money to spend! Glad Ashley at Little Miss One Big Mess convinced me that I needed some girl time!

So, that has been my life lately! What has been going on with you? Hope you have been having as much fun as me!

Love and Happy Blogging,

Tuesday Tip

Last night on Twitter { follow me } I saw a tweet from Glamour Magazine about wearing your hair up while you sleep. Well, I do this from time to time but as a general rule I let the mane loose. I thought this would be best to keep the pony from pulling during the night and causing me to have a headache come morning. Well, I was intrigued as to why wearing it up is better. So, they say that by wearing your hair up while you sleep you will prevent oils from your hair getting in your skin and therefore helping with facial breakouts. 
I have had many theories about why one side of my face would break out more than the other (using the phone, oils in my pillow while I sleep, etc) so I will try almost anything to obtain flawless skin! 
I tried this last night and keep in mind you do not want to use a thin rubber hair bow but rather something loose like a scrunchie. (I know most of you may not have these on hand and unfortunately I do but trust me on this one.) Put your hair in a messy bun so that you will not have a severe line in your hair when you wake. I did both of these things and woke up not only without a headache, but also some super bouncy, messy, cute curls! 

Try it out ladies and blog your results so that other girls can get in on the secret!
Love, Happy Blogging, & Pretty Skin,
