my oh my it's been quite a while since i've made a post. i've been rather busy these past couple of weeks. i finally got a job at a great place that does school photography. being an art graduate, i think this is a great place to work to at least get my foot in the door to greater art opportunities. unfortunately this position is just temporary but i'm glad i was able to work there the time that i have. i've met some amazing and interesting people and that's always a great thing. although this position is just temporary i was still going to interviews in the first couple of days of working because i wanted to try and find a position for when i would eventually be out of work once again and to my surprise i got another job with great pay, so thumbs up for that! i'm sad i'll be leaving the job i have now because i'll miss some of my co-workers but i'm excited for what this new job will bring me.
in other exciting news my mom and her boyfriend bought an amazing new home together. well, actually it's not new at all, it's an old century home but it'll be new to us! it is stunning and i am so excited to move in, have some amazing times and make new memories there. i feel like my life has been in a sort of upheaval in the last five years of my life, moving from place to place, but you learn to love the ride.
i'm going to try and make some more posts in the next month with some stuff that will actually interest you guys haha! i'm going to get a psychic reading on wednesday which is pretty neat! i've never done one before so i'll let you guys know what she says! i'm kind of nervous!
as some of you may know i've been rather unsuccessfully searching for a job. i thought i wouldn't have any problems finding one seeing as all the university students have left for school and high school students are at school during the days. but it seems i was wrong with that assumption. WHERE HAVE ALL THE JOBS GONE!?
i'm still on the search but in the mean time i'm literally doing nothing productive during the days. my parents are cool with it and say it's actually a great opportunity for me to sit and think about what i actually want to do for the rest of my life since most people my age don't have that opportunity. my sister for example didn't go to university but got a job at my mom's work as a general admin. right out of high school. she's worked her way up to office manager which is amazing but she is really unhappy at her job! it pays her bills but she wishes she had gone to university or college so that she would have had more opportunities to try something different. she also moved out at 16 and has had two homes, mortgages, and other such bills to pay for which i never really experienced. when i left for school i was 18 and i came home to visit rather often and my school bills were basically payed for through a scholarship and my granddad's help (thanks granddad!). my sister had help from my granddad for her houses as well since that wouldn't be fair if i got money for school and she didn't. but it was still a struggle for her to stay afloat. it is just funny to see how our different choices have put us in such different places right now. the funnier thing is, we're both jealous of each other right now! i wish i had a job to make some moolah and she wishes she wasn't working so she could test the waters with different job options. although my parents are cool with this, i think my grandparents are panicking a bit haha they're concerned for what my future is going to look like (40 year old me living in my mom's basement is probably what's floating around their heads). so, that, my sister should be thankful she doesn't have to deal with.
a couple days ago i actually had a great entrepreneurial idea. it's a secret for now though muahaha;) anyways i've been like a mad scientist in my kitchen experimenting with different things. if it turns out, which hopefully it does, then i'll share it with you guys. i hope to sell it when it's perfected:)
my, it feels as though it has been forever and a day since i have made a post. i wish i could say it was because i'm too busy with stuff in my life lately but i really don't have any excuse as to why i haven't posted in so long. anyways i've missed y'all!
now that i am finished with university and supposed to be starting my "grown up" life i feel overwhelmed by the pressure to get myself a good paying full time job, get a boyfriend/husband, and start a family. maybe i'm getting a little ahead of my self but i'm not one to stay relaxed and let all the pieces fall where they may. i am also being pestered by a mother who got married at 19, had her first baby at 22 and had two more by 26, to get my life going. most 21 year olds aren't thinking about having babies just yet but i've always wanted kids in my early twenties as well so that i'm not too much older than my children haha. i'm a tad nuts aren't i? i digress. yesterday i dropped off a few resumes at some local restaurants as i am looking for a waitressing job and while doing so i had the pleasure of meeting one of the restaurants manager's. he was very nice but leave it to awkward me to make an otherwise normal conversation into an uncomfortable one. when he first came over to me he had his one hand out, as if he was going to shake my hand, but i had my resume in my shaking hand. so as i went to put my resume into my other hand, it looked like he was going for my resume so then i got flustered and went to hand him it but then he went in for a handshake again! ugh. it was just awkward, but i guess that was on both our parts haha. i hope i hear back from them in the next couple of days, but if i don't, i'll know why! *hangs head in awkward shame*
let's get to the l'oreal true match foundation review shall we?
I hardly ever wear loads of make up and i was always a little hesitant to buy a foundation because i was fearful of it being too heavy and giving me the dreaded cake face. but i was watching one of BeyondBeautyStar's youtube videos called Watch Me Get Ready (video below) and she used l'oreal's true match foundation. it looked like it went on really nicely, it looked light and most importantly it looked natural!
so after watching this and seeing how good it looked on Claudia i went out and bought it, in a much lighter shade though because i'm as white as a piece of paper. my first impression of it was "wow, this looks too dark for me" (i got it in porcelain W1). but, surprisingly it went on very light in colour, light in weight, and made my skin look absolutely perfect. it stays on all day and you can't feel it on your skin at all. overall, i was very impressed with it and would encourage anyone looking for a light, natural looking foundation to try it!
