Life after college lately has consisted of working ten to twelve hour days for six to seven days a week. It has been nuts and I will admit I’ve let my health overall slip. Every day is basically eat, work, sleep, repeat. One thing that has kept me sane during this busy season are my favorite social influencers on instagram. Yes, I know it is bad to be on your phone while eating but that’s a whole other subject.
The wait is finally over, the second Incredibles movie is out! Lets be honest, the second movie for most shows never feels as good as the first. However, I would disagree when it comes to Incredibles 2. My favorite character in both pictures has to be Edna, she’s hilarious. Her style, spunk and overall character is amazing.
Summer is one of those seasons when I want to break out those squeaky clean white on white shoes. Then the little voice in the back of my mind goes through a checklist of the day’s activities to protect the innocence of those beautiful white sexy chucks. The wet grass, dust, dirt, the possibility of someone spilling something on them.
Keep those annoying fly aways out of my face whist giving a little pep to my step. Throw my hair in a bun when it gets humid and I honestly wish in that moment I had no hair type of situation. In California it gets hot, not Arizona or Mexico hot but still. Triple digit do not touch me unless I’m dying kind of weather.
The California heat is definitely here! To start off the summer I headed to a festival with a couple of people. It was a first time experience, the Lavender Festival is something I would consider exploring for a second time, perhaps if the weather is not in the triple digits. Vendors offered all natural and homemade products and plants. Animals ranging from bees to sheep were there for viewing as well as to promote local business. Delicious bites were plentiful to snack on and keep cool.
Like many fashionistas out there, I enjoy shopping. My bank account on the other hand does not. Instead of rolling into debt there are a couple of things you can do to help save money without completely dropping shopping all together.
Ever wonder why you are never the same size across all clothing brands? Possibly freaked out after you assumed you gained weight when you were a size two last trip but a size six this time. It’s a mental battle, which is exactly why brands do it. Officially titled vanity sizing by the industry, to conger up insecurities to increase buying power by women who are pleasantly pleased to find out they are a size XXS (extra, extra skinny).
Onto the working world, where your attire sets the first impression. Dress code varies between formal and casual. If you do not know the dress code prior to an interview, try out a semi professional look from below or something similar. Shoes can vary between Converse to a formal high heel depending on your ability. Do not wear shoes you know you cannot walk in as it appears as if you are not confident.
