City

For those of who do not live by a city or at least a major one, let me fill you in on a little something. I am amazed by those who have grow up by them and do not know how to blend in with the people and to not stand out for the people on the street! I am seriously amazed. The weekend I went into the city twice, well I should say the city was New York City. Sorry for me it is "the city", we forget others out there exist. The second night I had gone it was smooth however one person did not know to not speak to those who talk to everyone on the street or you'll be trapped in awkwardness of turning them down, for them following you for blocks. Well this one friend would engage in conversation. So we were followed, thank God we were in Time Square at this point so the following couldn't last with all the crowds of people. Then on our way to see the Rockefellar Tree, she gets stopped and has someone draw her photo. Mind you she stopped being at the end of the pack so we are calling her and she is ignoring the calls. We are thinking the worse. Then she finally answers and asked why we were calling.
Anyway just a message from experience think of who you are going with before going. Tis all. Merry Christmas!

Charities

I am reaching out for some serious help. I am trying for this years christmas to instead of giving my family gifts I am going to donate the money I would have instead spent on a present, as a gift to someone else in need. Now how many more things do we seriously need? With a gift it something we are given and try and find something for it. I know that I think sometimes my life I need something else and so on. However I am truly blessed. I have a roof over my head, a car, job, and am getting an education. Some don't have all of that or any of that. What do I have to complain about? I have been looking up charities and so far these are the ones sticking out to me:
Baal Dan Charities
American Red Cross
Invisible Children
These are ones that I have found so far. I am not cut off to any. I am new to finding an organization. Right now I am in the mind set of a well know organization to be used as a gift. However I would also like to find a charity to donate to ever month. Please share or let me know which one would be best.

Retail

Where would we be without the world of retail? I have given my time for the past two years of working retail. It is amazing how one person could really make a difference of your experience. No one could not where clothes. Well some due but not exactly the latest fashion. Shoppers only see the deals that they are receiving or the prices. Not all the work behind the scenes. My old store would not open up until 10 am. However I don't believe you see us arriving at 5 am and already having works a full shift by the time you come to shop. Or the wonderful displays how much thought goes behind the littlest thing. The company sends out a photo of what they think would be best but not every store is designed the same way or have all the tables or things need in each display so we have to figure out how each things will go.
Anyways. That being said. Next time when you enter a store, treat the people there kindly. Sure we are there to serve you, but not to be your bitch. I cannot believe the amount of times people throw clothes my way, demanded things, or questioned my intelligence. I am sorry but we cannot give you deals on everything and it is not the employees faults. We do not make the rules. If you have an issues with the prices or sales, shop somewhere else, or don't try and have us do something we cannot to loss our job because you do not want to pay the price. Now that is my issues with shoppers.
Management. Take the stick out of your ass. Simply because you are a manager and are trapped in the life you made for yourself do not take it out on your employees. You only loss them. Some are chill because they have other things in their life. It is good. Retail is not for everyone. But for those of you "lifers" enjoy it. I will move along with my life leaving you behind.

Sorry this blog is a rant from leaving my job of two years, where in the end I was truly disrespected and was treated truly unfairly. I don't like being back in the corner. Nor being treated as if I am unintelligent and my character being called into question. I did my job and did it better then most. So such it.

ST. Ives

This is a wonderful face wash! No lie. I have used face washed that have either left my face feeling oily throughout the day or way too dry. But now on their website they have a skin profiler which helped me out so much. It gave me a few that would would and a moisturizer. I have been using the new Green Tea face wash with the Timeless moisturizer. Then four times a week I supplement the Green Tea Face Wash with the Apricot scrub. It is so light weight and just great and easy to travel with. I am not one for skin regimen. I am simply lazy. But this is easy enough and when I skip out I don't feel my skin bugging out or have a sudden reaction so missing it once it not a major thing. They also have product for it you don't daily wash your face to use. But now I wash my face night and morning. I really recommend it so go check it out!

Sweaters

What is better than when it starts to get cooler outside to put on that sweater that makes you look amazing? Not only do you look amazing but it is comfortable and keeps you warm! Since I work in retail I tend to see the sweater in a lot of different displays and people trying them on in fitting rooms. I think a simple jean and sweater would be great but there is so much more. Depending on the type you could layer it with scarves, leggings, boots, hats, etc. I don't know if it is because I very simple with my clothing choices and where I work they love to do the layer pieces. But lets get real here, the reason why all fashion trendy and retail places want you to layer, is so they more money out of you. That aside some outfits can truly be made better with layer pieces. Whatever your fashion sense just think to add something and it will take your outfit from simple, to adorable.
When you want to just through on a tee shirt, through out the day you could get cold, or ladies you can feel this, a little "showy". Grab a cardigan instead of wishing you did. Even an open one that is a great cut for your legs and one you could pull in tight to keep you warm. Rather than being to tight you want to take it off. Honestly size does not matter. Being a size 0 doesn't happen for everyone. You have hips and a bone there preventing you from getting the jeans on, not fat. Or you were blessed with an awesome add. Isn't it better getting clothes that fit you, make you look better, and feel great? Or is size what matters and have those size 0 that cling to you all day, giving you a muffin top, and makes it unbearable to sit better? Be happy with what you have, because no one should ask for you size if you look amazing.

Shoes

Recently I have come across this website, CSN Stores, for some great deals on shoes. Now with it being boot season, I was planning on checking out to see what they had to offer. Riding Boots are in right now and would be great selection to look at. I have never shopped at this site before and am not really sure what to expect simply because I wasn't sure what I am looking for. I know that fall is here and next will come a time for winter, both were boot are needed especially in this area. I was doing this post as more of a help me! I am not sure what shoes to get. The site has the Riding Boots, Slouch Boots, and Western Boots. I am going to see which one is truly in this season because I am just not sure. There are some many boots! I don't know which to choose. Please check out the links to help me and other readers know which boots to wear for the coming season!
