Three New Things | October

Long-time no talk, eh? Well, I am coming at you with a few reasons as to why that has been such a hard habit to break lately. I absolutely love reading blogs, but when it comes to creating my own posts, man is it hard. But, I have been trying to create something different here that I can actually obtain realistically. Those outfit styled photoshoots or how-to posts are probably long gone. So, hopefully, you are down for less styled content and more journal-type entries that speak solely on matters of the heart. Okay, my rant is over. Onto some updates for the month of October...

I cut my hair short. Okay, so back in March I had my routinely scheduled haircut appointment, but barely had a trim so in my graduation photos I would have long hair. Well, I never followed up in the summer-time, so here I am with super long hair (probably the longest I've ever had) and very unhealthy. It was so thin and damaged. I knew it needed at least 3 inches cut off. Well, it was more like 5 inches once I sat in that chair. It hasn't been this short since senior year of high school (any OG readers remember that?) I have to say I love it so much! Now I just need to learn new ways to style it, haha.

Already 26 days into my social media break. That's right, your girl deleted her Instagram and Facebook apps on her iPhone. I honestly was so tired of being bogged down by the weight of it all. My mental health has been a lot this summer, and social media was not helping at all. You know it's time to say goodbye for a while when it leaves you feeling tainted. I don't know when I'll pop back on, but for now, I'm just enjoying the silence.

Goodbye retail, hello order entry! Ahhh, you guys this is such exciting news for me. I quit my job in retail and took a full-time position as an order entry specialist. Working retail taught me so much (like can we just put those jeans back on the correct shelf, or say hello back to your cashier?) but I began feeling so irritated by every little thing. You know it is time to leave your job when it no longer challenges you to become a better version of yourself. Bottom line, it is not where my passion lies. So, it has been one week since I started my new position, and I love it so much already. A professional environment is just completely my vibe. I enjoy wearing blazers and high heels to work. Working at a desk just makes me so happy. I think I am really going to love this change.
