Favorite of the Week

This week my favorite is.....

Ahava Mineral Body Lotion - Deadsea Water

If you recall, I received a sample of this in my last Birchbox. Well, the other night, I woke up in a crazy itch fit. My whole body was itchy and I didn't have any Eucerin. What to do? Oh yea, Ahava! I have to say that although it's not as great as Eucerin, it worked for the time being and saved me from scratching my skin off.

Job Interviews are Like Dating

Has anyone else ever noticed that job interviews are a lot like dating?

I've been sending my resume to various places and I've gotten a few call backs, but I guess they don't like the answers that I give them. I don't believe in lying at job interviews - it just creates problems later on down the road. So, the number one question that I get asked is "do you see yourself being with the company for an extended period of time?" or "how long do you see yourself staying with the company?"

Now, I'm always confused by this question, because the last time I checked, I'm not a fortune teller nor do I have a magic crystal ball. The craziest part is that they ask this before they even interview you. How exactly am I supposed to answer this question? That's like someone setting you up on a blind date but telling you that you can't even meet the guy until you commit to a long-term relationship with him. Excuse me?! LOL. I just can't fathom the idea. My answer to the interviewers is always "I can't answer this question with any amount of certainty." I mean, if anyone says at this point "Sure, I'll work at your company indefinitely" they're lying! If you've never met anyone from the office, have never even stepped foot in the building, how would you know if it's a good fit? It just baffles my brain.

Then when you do get a face to face, it's always so awkward. Do you wait for them to ask the questions? Do you interject your own comments? Ugh.

I guess what I'm getting at is that while I've had call backs, none of them have been the right fit.

I do have an idea of what I'd like to do, but it's going to take some research before I know for sure. I'll keep you posted though ;)

Favorite of the Week

My favorite of the week is my new MAC Blush in Well Dressed.

I love the light pink color. It's great for adding either just a hint of color to my cheeks by swooping it on just one time or adding that "flushed" look with a couple more swoops. The color can be as subtle or dramatic as you'd like. I love the versatility! There's great color payoff and the packaging is great.  I have zero complaints about this blush and will purchase again when it runs out.

Have any of you used this particular color? Do you like it?

So sorry for my absence the last week friends. I've been busy substituting, working on a project and dealing with a monster cold.

I have a couple of posts queued up for the week, so I'm starting to get back in the swing of things. Also, that project that I mentioned, once I get it finished I'll be sure to share with you right away. I'm pretty pumped about it, but it's taking a bit longer than expected. Patience is key.

I am exhausted. I substituted a music class today at an elementary school. Man, some of those rugrats were really cute and others, well, not-so-much.  Anyway, I'm still looking for a job, but have zero ideas left on where to look. Any suggestions? I'm open to pretty much anything....

For now though, I think I need a nap.
