Work?

Once you complete your post secondary education and begin the search for your first job, your mind it full of ideas and passion to succeed in whatever field you hope to work in. You imagine yourself (in my case) sitting at your new desk, tip tapping away on your computer, getting urgent calls and preparing presentations. Even the thought of overtime and working late to meet deadlines seem exciting.

But then you actually get this so call "job" and everything changes. Drastically in my case.

With a boss you only see a few times a week (if that) who gives you minimal direction and you are pretty sure he forgot you even worked here, you start to lose hope in any sort of success. The respect and admiration you once had for business starts to fade. And you are left to surf the net and blog the day away.

At lease I am getting paid.

When I grow up...

When I grow up I want to be the Princess of Greece. I will stand atop my rooftop patio bar, over-looking the beaches, while my long luxurious blonde locks blow in the breeze and my tight, tanned body glistens in the sunshine. I will have personal Marble Slab and McDonalds and be able to eat as much of it as I want and only get skinnier. I will also own every designer label in the world (that way it is easier to get the clothes I want).

Bathing Optional

While surfing the net to entertain myself while I "work" I came across an article about Jessica Simpson where she speaks about her overall hygiene. Apparently Jessica brushes her teeth "maybe three times a week, because she doesn't like feeling slippery (um..clean?)." She also only washes her hair about 2 or 3 times a month, she "waits until it smells."

Now my initial thought about this whole bathing minimalist was a giant ew. But as I thought more about it, I know a couple of cousins who often find bathing to be a bit of a hassle. And if we could go a few weeks without a good coif washing (we don't agree with the whole smelly bit), we would. Don't get me wrong, we love to be clean but being able to go weeks without hair washing, leg shaving and other girl-related annoyances would be superb.

P.S. Think what you will but Jessica Simpson, I salute your bathing boycott!

When I Grow Up...

I want to be a hot skinny blonde girl who lives on the beach and eats nachos and burgers all day. Also, I would like to have a vintage Broach collection. Oh I can't wait! What do you want to be when you grow up JP?

Confession Corner

I ate a piece of paper to curb my chocolate craving. Don't tell anyone. But it was just the corner, and you know I had to do something to resist that KitKat that was seriously staring at me. I regret nothing. Perhaps JP is right, I should just keep a small pile of paper squares in my desk drawer in case of emergencies. Besides, not everyone has access to teaspoons of sand like they use to curb hunger pains on Glee.

The Maxi Skirt.

The Maxi Skirt. Much like the Maxi dress of JE's dreams. Loved by designers but alas, another trend I fear that I cannot pull off. On my current bod this dress would look like some sort of tent or perhaps one of those parachutes for children to play under (and we don't want that happening). I may have to sit this one out. When do I get a new style to play with?

Oh Hello There!

How does one put into words a love they feel so strong? This FCUK SS2010 frill dress would be the perf outfit for my birthday, but alas! My pocket book simply could not afford it! But one day my love. You and I will be as one.
