I feel like we've been here before...

I don't know how many "I got a new job!!!" posts a person is technically aloud in the time frame of just one year....but, here we are again!!

At this point you are probably thinking I am a super unreliable individual, who doesn't have the ability to actually keep a job. Let me assure you though...you're completely right!!! No, just kidding. I really am a hard worker, and feel quite loyal to places I work...here's the thing though...

All these jobs I have right now, before I graduate college, before I get married, before I get a real job (or, more preferably, leave the country on a overseas mission for a long time!!)...they're just jobs. I don't feel a deep sense of responsibility to stick something out if I'm not really feeling it. You know? I mean, why stay in a job you don't love, when you have the ability to look elsewhere? I don't think it's even a question, if everyone loved their job I think we'd have a lot more happy people out and about in town :)

So, anyhow...all of this to say that I got a job at The Fresh Market!! I hope it's everything I'm anticipating! I was so beyond stoked when this store was built near my town!! I mean, we pretty much only had Wal-Mart and Schnucks! Sooooo. It was a big deal for me, having been used to living so close to Trader Joe's in Cary! I begin the new journey in about a week, and I am just really excited!!

I reallllly felt like God was blessing my job search in these last few weeks. I had heard from Starbucks  as well, which is a job I know I'd love, but I wanted to try something else since the option was there! And, I think I'm over the days of waking up at 5am to make the general public's coffee ;)

So, anyways. I got a new job...Again. Lol. I intend on keeping this one for a long time. Or, as long as it's reasonable for the season of life I am in :)

Have a great night!!

Beauty "Vlogging"

Hey guys!!

Today I wanted to give a bit of a shout out to my amazing (and gorgeous, I might add) cousin, Kim! I'll be honest, I'd never heard of a "beauty vlogger" before I began watching Kim's YouTube Channel...but, now that I have..again, gotta be honest...I love it!!

She's so great! Basically, it's super girly, which I love (but sorry guys, you may not want to know this much about make-up!) and I learn soo much from her updates!

I've never really considered myself to be like super in style, cutting edge or anything even close...but I do love to learn how to become more so!

So basically, Kim does make-up tutorials, make-up and fashion reviews, hauls and lot's of other stuff on her channel, and it rocks!  Therefore, I wanted to share it on here, cuz I'm a fan :)

Click on this to go to her YouTube Channel!! And check it out!!

Hope everyone has a great night!!

Tomatoes You Gotta Go!

Soooo,

In the lovely state of Kentucky, the spring time is basically one hazardous storm after another. I mean, really, we're lucky we've come out on top this whole time!!

A few weeks ago though, there were like 5 or 6 tornadoes that apparently "hit" in or around my county. I never see them, so these alleged claims are all I have...BUT, it is what was told to me.

So upon arriving to work that morning, I was greeted with all sorts of security procedures from my manager in the event that a tornado hit. I should tell you, that I am really weird. I LOVE storms, apocalyptic situations, really anything to mix up the normal days work, I find it GREAT! :)

Back to work: we put flashlights on each cash register, in case the power went out, and were told how to inform the customers of severe weather over the intercom, and all that.

There is something I learned that fateful day: "crafters", sewers,  artsy folk...basically fear nothing. And by that I mean, the impending doom of a tornado blasting through our store didn't phase anyone. i have even heard stories of people in the past who REFUSED to seek shelter in the store when inclement weather was present, they wanted to keep SHOPPING.... ?!?! Insane. I mean, I know I said I like storms, but literally, if a TORNADO was about to hit where I was, you better believe I'd be running!!

Anyhow, moral of the story: storms are awesome, and some of our customers are certifiably nuts.

:)
