I asked my stylist to turn my blonde and she informed me that the best way to do it is through highlights. That first round did not leave me blonde, rather a brunette with blonde highlights, which I hope to never embark upon again. I eventually went blonder and blonder till I was all blonde. I was a fan of the white blonde, not the yellow blonde, so my hair was basically platinum. My underneath was kept dark, just because its cheaper, but I probably would not go for that option again. As with most girls, I got bored of the blonde, mainly because I had tried to do an at home and dyed it that yellow blonde I'm not a fan of, so I decided to go brunette. Now, I had already gone from blonde to brunette and wanted to go immediately back. This I now attribute to picking the wrong shade of brunette, and also being younger. This time around I wanted a big change, so I decided I really wanted to be a red head. I had my first initial dye done at a salon. Many salons now carry hair color that has keratin in it, which is really good for your hair. However, being a college student, I can not afford to keep going to the salon for a touch up, so I now do box color. I used the clariol nice and easy, dark auburn, probably about 4 times (spread out over 4 or 5 months) to really make sure my hair wouldn't keep fading to blonde. Since then, I have been using clariol natural instincts, cinnaberry medium auburn, to maintain my color. Since going to brunette, or red head, my hair has grown faster, had less split ends, saved me so much money, and made me look more professional. People take me more seriously now, and I never have roots, which I feel can make you look unkept, if you let them grow out too much. I think just based on the pure fact that it has been easier to find a job, and save me hundreds a year, the healthy hair and great new look are a bonus. No regrets here and, the greatest part, I don't miss being blonde!<br />

Well seeing as I am beyond stocked on makeup and hair products (I don't have to buy either ever again thanks to subscriptions), I figured I might as well check into face and body products. With the code, IPSYFB, on the freeman beauty website, I was able to get 17 sample size masks, the pssst dry shampoo, a full size dead sea minerals anti-stress foaming bath, a surprise gift, and free shipping for $26.99. I love deals, and this seems like a great deal to me. I've already tried the moisturizing paper mask from my ipsy bag and I really liked it, therefore, I am super excited and love a great deal.<br />
<br />
<b>Update:</b><br />
So, because I was so eagerly awaiting my package, I noticed that my ups tracking was not updating past "label made." I gave it a few days and finally emailed Freeman Beauty. Let me just tell you that their customer service is AMAZING! I first received an email from an office assistant letting me know that they did have a lot of order due to the promo code and some were delayed or lost. However, because of this, 3 additional gifts would be added to these delayed or lost orders. They apologized profusely and said that my package would be delivered the next day. At this point I was just excited to be getting even more for my buck, and that my package was indeed on its way. Well it only gets better. I then received another email, I think from their customer service department, apologizing profusely once again and giving me another tracking number. This is when I observed that they had next day aired my package. All in all, my package is taking a week to get here, I am enthralled with the customer service, and from what I've heard, the products will be amazing too. I would highly recommend this company and I will be buying from them again (and probably sending a thank you email).Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10408887660033233137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249064293401060285.post-89486788789383217342013-06-04T10:18:00.001-04:002013-06-04T10:19:31.625-04:00Broadway Nails imPRESS ReviewIn my spring fever voxbox from influenster, I received Broadway Nail imPRESS manicure nails in Glisten Up. It is a shiny purple color. I'm really glad I got to try them out before I spent money on them. I've considered picking some up lately but ended up spending the money on nail polish instead. The packaging is cute, in it's fake nail polish design. The peel off backings make it easy to use. However, by the time you pick out your nail sizes and press them on, it takes the same amount of time as a normal polish manicure. I found that they did not fit my nails exactly right, making it look exactly like I had used pressed on nails. They made me feel a bit like a little girl putting on nails, especially with the purple color. I ended up removing them within an hour of applying them. I did not think they were appropriate to wear to work. I wish I could've tried the French Manicure ones seeing as that would be the only color I would consider buying in press on nails. I would suggest just buying a bottle of any color that you like and getting many uses out of that. The press on nails are actually really short, not adding length like one would with fake nails at a salon. Therefore, I probably will not be spending money on these or recommending them to anyone else.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10408887660033233137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249064293401060285.post-70564720584202571382013-05-13T19:32:00.003-04:002013-05-13T19:32:55.452-04:00Birchbox May 2013 Review<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
Amika oil treatment for the hair: Anti-frizz, shine and nourishment. Another oil to try out! My hair has never looked so good. Just wish it was resealable.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Verdict: I think the reason I am so bleh about this box is sample sizes. I just want a little more umph. However, I see why birchbox does it. Who would want to buy the full size when you already have enough of the product? I will continue to refrain from a purchase until I find something I love and don't already have.</div>

I'm loving this spoiler but hating it at the same time. Ipsy says we will be getting two things from the items pictured, but I want to try everything. I will most likely have some serious bag envy this month.</div>

Item number 3 is concealer! Some are saying it may be Yaby, also, there is a question of whether we are getting all four or just one. I hope all four, I want to try contouring! However, if it is just one, we will find out if Ipsy is really personalizing the bags!<br />
<br />
Update:<br />
Ipsy confirmed that we will only be getting one concealer based on our profile.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10408887660033233137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249064293401060285.post-78162844401624567312013-05-01T15:04:00.001-04:002013-05-01T23:51:00.522-04:00May Ipsy Sneak Peek #2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sneak peek 2! So we can for sure say they are going for the may flowers theme. Mirabella just posted on their facebook page:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Pixie Colour Sheers lipstick on the machine! Watch out Ipster's, this hot shade may be in your Glam Bag...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, now it is to determine the colors. I just want to point at that if they are full size, the value of this product alone will be at least 20 dollars! Plus 8 for the Zoya (from sneak peek 1) and a confirmed 5 products for this month... I am so happy with the value.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The hint gives away that we will only be getting one of these:</div>

That is a link to the collection. I would love any of them but I really really want the blue. I've heard nothing but good things about Zoya. Also, as many bad things as I thought about the Sation from April, it has lasted forever on my nails. The no chip power alone makes me love it. So I am beyond excited for Zoya. </div>

This was my first birchbox ever and I decided to subscribe when they did that whole "subscribe before april 14th to get April's box." People were having rave reviews about this month between the revitalizing eye roller and color changing nail polish. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First things first. Shipping. Birchbox got some brownie points for their shipping and organization skills. When I subscribed, Birchbox said my box would ship april 25th. Low and behold, I got an email saying it had shipped probably about a week before April 25th. THEN, it had and expected delivery date of April 25th and got here at least two days early. Definitely earned some points in my book!</div>

So because of finals, I ripped open my box, before taking any pictures, and am posting late. It's been a long month. This was the first thing I found, a "year" subscription to Women's Health magazine. I put year in quotations because it is only ten months worth, last time I checked a year was twelve. However, I am very very happy with this. This alone is ten dollars and I don't already subscribe so why not! All I had to do was fill out the card and then mail it.</div>

This is the eye roller. I was so lucky to receive this during finals week... I really needed it. You are supposed to use it in little circular motions but that picture on the package looks like it is supposed to go back and forth, so I've tried both. Either way, the eye roller feels really cold and refreshing. I think it does wake your eyes up. However, I am not sure if it visually does anything. Would I buy it? probably not. I would prefer a combo of this cool and one that helps puffiness. However, since I have a full size bottle, I will probably use that thing every day until I run out.</div>

The next thing I got was this Caudaile Divine Oil. I have never used an oil before, so I am not sure what they are supposed to do. I am guessing moisturize since the packaging says it is good for your hands, cuticles, and face. I put some on my hands last night after my shower. I was scared to put too much and be all oily but I also didn't feel moisturized with the amount I used. I personally love the smell. It smells like a vase of flowers. However, I don't think I would want that strong of a smell on my face. I can understand why some people were put off by the smell. If you don't like a strong flower smell, this is not for you.</div>

I received two foil packets of this Elizabeth Arden visible difference optimizing skin serum. It is supposed to renew skin clarity and texturize skin as it evens skin tone. With the name being visible difference, I was hoping for a, well, visible difference. I put it on after the shower as well. It feels as though it is tightening my skin, like an anti wrinkle type thing. I think it may have evened my skin tone, and I don't even know what skin clarity means so I can't comment on that part. I think for my last packet of this I will take before and after pictures to make sure. I don't think I will buy this, since I have never thought I needed optimizing skin serum, however, the I really like the product, just not an "I have to have it."</div>

Last was this Cargo Hybrid Touch-Up Powder. I had just been gifted a Cargo bronzer so I was worried I would have doubles when my birchbox came. I was surprised to receive this. What is even more confusing is on the birchbox website they are only selling bronze, not the Hybrid. Honestly, I don't know how to use this, is it a powder, is it a bronzer, why is there a brush? Do I use one side at a time or both together? I am beyond confused. I need to do some research.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Verdict: I feel like I received a lot for my ten dollars. That makes me so happy! However, I don't know what half of this is or how to use it. So I really do feel like this is an adventure discovery service, more so than Ipsy. I love both Ipsy and birchbox for different reasons. I am very happy I have a year to both!</div>

I don't have other months to compare it too, since this was my first month, but I feel like it took way too long to get here. At one point it was in Orlando, where I live, and then next time I checked it was in West Palm Beach, only to get sent back to Orlando. It was a bit frustrating, but it is finally here! Even if you check out all the spoiler and know what you will be getting, being able to see the colors on your own skin and having them to use is just as exciting as leaving it as a surprise. Well, I think so anyways.<br />

The bag is so cute. However, white is not the best color. As you will see, my blush broke, and it spilled some on my bag when I took it out. So, the bag is already dirty No fun.<br />

Here is my broken blush and a swatch of it. I emailed ipsy a picture of the broken blush and, within two hours, they sent me a very nice email back saying they will replace it. That swatch is from me swiping the extra that has spilled out the sides from it breaking. I actually really love this color. I tested it on my cheek after the gym before I showered and it is actually the exact color my cheeks turn after they gym, just in shimmer form. Therefore, I am very very happy with it. I may attempt to use it even though it's broken, but it may be too hard to not get too much product. I'll post pictures if I can get it to work!<br />

<br />
I received the healthy sexy hair soy renewal as opposed to the big sexy hair volumizing powder. At first I wanted the powder, but then I was accepted into the bzzagent got2b volumizing powder campaign and figured I would use the soy renewal more. Funny thing is both ipsy and my bzzagent package got here on the same day. I put this on my hair after my shower and it is supposed to make your hair dry faster when blow drying. I think it even made it dry faster through air drying, seeing as I hate blow dryers. The only thing I'm bummed about is that it takes out all of the wave of my hair, so it's straight right now. No frizz though, and super soft. Side note, it is near impossible to squeeze the product out of this stiff sample bottle.<br />

This is my favorite product this month. It is the mica beauty shimmer powder in "earth." I die for anything pink and sparkley, and that is exactly what this is. Pictures do not do it justice. It is all shimmer. I'll have to wear it when I post my blush picture!<br />

Now on to my least favorite product of the month. I have a nail polish addiction, especially to pink nail polish. This let me down a ton. In the bottle, it looks so pretty in the bottle but then is just blah on. My pointer finger has one coat, my middle finger two, and no nail polish on my ring finger. Maybe with white underneath, it'll show up like it does in the bottle. Besides that, it takes forever to dry. This is the one product I would not recommend to a friend.<br />
<br />
Verdict: I'm still really happy with the bag even though I really only have two usable products from it right now. The mica powder alone is worth at least ten dollars, when I eventually get the blush that'll be another sixteen dollars. That alone is more than the ten dollars I paid. I'm glad I bought a year subscription!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10408887660033233137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249064293401060285.post-48690676396500427792013-04-14T23:19:00.000-04:002013-04-14T23:19:24.374-04:00I gave in to Birchbox!So I just ordered a year subscription of birchbox. Ipsy is making me wait forever for my bag and in the meantime I've been looking at other subscription reviews. Glossybox looks great but I didn't want to pay 21 dollars a month on top of ipsy. So, I've been slightly following what's going on with april Birchbox and I saw an eye depuffer. I was like I need that! So I was birchbox sold. I ordered a year and hope that I'm happy each month, and I really really hope I get the depuffer this month!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10408887660033233137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249064293401060285.post-79459228624400515422013-04-10T12:55:00.002-04:002013-04-10T12:55:40.734-04:00Olia Dark Intense Auburn ReviewOne word comes to mind for this experience... regret. Let me give you a bit of my hair history. I used to home dye my hair brown every 4 to 6 weeks using natural instincts. Then my stupid butt decided I wanted to go blonde. So, I started getting highlights and fell in love with being blonde. Well, when college rolled around, I was broke and tried to go back to brunette for my wallets sake. I got it dyed at a salon then continued at home. It would always fade back to a weird blonde color and my friends convinced me to go back to blonde. So I did. I tried to find ways around paying over 100 dollars at a salon by doing it at home, but I always ended up back in a salon. Recently, I dyed my hair an auburn color, at a salon. Only 3 weeks later, all of my red was gone, my blonde was back and I decided to do an at home job. I decided on olia, hoping it wouldn't fade as fast, and I had heard mostly good things about it. I pick up 4.60 dark intense auburn, since the majority of my hair was light brown. Here are my before pictures:<br />

I followed all the directions. I found that the applicator bottle, which is tear drop shaped, is impossible to shake with gloved hands. I had to use both hands on the bottle and awkward shake it. Now the consistency is very awkward. It tends to dry into a hardened shell type thing. As you will see with my after results, apparently I missed a bunch of my hair. I also think that it didn't grab onto my hair that well. I still managed to drip it literally everywhere, the worse I've ever dripped it. It took me forever to apply and I had to wait the thirty minutes. I now know what is so enticing about foam hair dyes. So I washed it out and people don't lie. The water will literally never run clear. So I did my best, applied the conditioner and got out. At first I was happy... until I looked at my after pictures. I basically want to cry:</div>

From the front, it looks great, from any other angle I look like a crazy person. I'm for sure going to try and wash out as much as I can, using lots of sulfate shampoo and conditioner. My hair feels dry and damaged. I will have to wear my hair up for the next month. And you know what I'm doing next month? Natural instincts semi permanent. If only I could afford to go the the salon once a month... sigh. Another bad hair job to put in the books.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Verdict:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will never ever recommend olia or buy it again. Going back to what I know, the salon and natural instincts.</div>

I used it everyday and found that I was extremely too tan. It looked almost unnatural for me, it really is more of a glow than a tan. The best way I can put it is that I was more orange than brown. Don't get me wrong, I didn't look like an oompa loompa, I just know that a natural tan is more brown on me. This past November, I decided I wanted to be tan but refused to get in a tanning booth so I opted for Jergens once again. I grabbed some face Jergens and some body Jergens. Now, I'm guessing that I grabbed one of the few "old formula" bottles of Jergens. I've seen ads that they changed the formula to make the smell better. The smell never bothered me. My fiance would tell me that I smelled like a baby but hey, at least I was tan. Also, this time around I do it about every other day. Right now, I do it every few days when I can muster up the energy to try and reach every spot on my back. <br />
<br />
So once I ran out of the old formula, I picked up another bottle of the body lotion but in the new formula. At first, I was like mmmm this smells like the beach. This is great! However, I'm starting to hate it, to the point of not using it anymore. The smell sticks on you more. With the old formula, I would go to sleep smelling like a "baby" and wake up with relatively no smell. Now, this new formula just turns into the old formula smell and does not go away. It has gotten on my sheets and pillow and has made my blankets smell weird. It still does a great job gradual tanning, I actually think it works faster. I am literally too scared to use it everyday. I get a great tan after just two uses with the new formula. However, as much as I love the color, I'm debating whether or not I'll be replacing this bottle. I might start looking into a self tanner instead of a gradual tanner. I just can't stand trying to strain to reach all of my back every day and this smell is really getting to me.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10408887660033233137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249064293401060285.post-68188032558470060872013-04-03T11:35:00.001-04:002013-04-03T11:35:03.915-04:00Official April Ipsy Sneak Peek #4<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ipsy just released sneak peek #4 on Facebook for the April glam bag with the hint:</div>

They are Sation nail polish by Miss, retailing at $5 each. The colors look to be "Love at First Byte" and "Of Corset I'll Call You" from the new Miss Antoinette collection. They appear to be the same nail polishes that are pictured in Jessica Harlow's instagram picture (can be found under full april spoiler on my blog). I love nail polish, and have to refrain from buying more every time I go to Walgreens. I don't have a coral color yet but that bright pink would look great with my skin color. I'll be so happy with either one! It also appears that this will be the last hint, with only four items in the back this month. I'm beyond excited that this will be my first bag and am already curious about May!</div>

So thanks to instagram, it is known for sure that the duo will be two cosmetics "heartache" eyeshadow duo. It retails at $6.99. I'm hoping I will receive the mineral eye shadow from MICA just because I don't own any loose powder and it retails for me. I do want the most value from my bag (personal use and monetary value). Maybe ipsy will be nice and give us both! Guess we will wait to find out.</div>

This is MICA beauty cosmetics mineral eye shadow in "Earth." It retails at at $15. I'm not sure if the swatch from the instagram picture (ipsy complete spoiler) is this powder. If it is, I would die to have this. The swatch didn't look as pink though, more of a pearly white. Either way, I'm praying to the ipsy gods for the mineral powder, not the duo.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I recently had my hair dyed from bleach blonde to a reddish brown color. I guess it could be considered auburn. I loved it so so so much that I immediately went to Ulta to stock up on hair care products. I couldn't keep using my purple shampoo (keeps blonde hair from brassing). I looked up reviews previously to going and of course my ulta had known of the things I went there to buy. I purchased the Loreal everpure system (which I will also do a review on) and this Ulta Ultimate Red Hair Glaze. It says it is supposed to deposit red color into your hair. One of the things I did see while researching hair care products was that red is almost harder than blonde to upkeep. I ended up asking one of the Ulta workers about the product. She told me that she had used the John Frieda Blonde Glaze and that it worked but it turned her hair an orange color. From being blonde, I knew that she tried to go to blonde from brown, which turns orange. My main concern was that it would turn my hair fire red. She told me that it is a gradual process and to just stop using it if I thought I was going too red. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first time I washed my hair I used the everpure shampoo and conditioner but was horrified as I washed my red hair dye go down the drain. The next time around washing my hair I used this glaze. Of course when I got home I looked up reviews on the product. They were awful! The only review I could find with pictures was a girl with very bright red hair, which was not what I wanted. Also, I ended up dropping it, breaking the cap and it began to leak everywhere. I transferred it to an old shampoo bottle, which I guess is what many people recommend anyways. Now, when looking up reviews, I did learn that when you read the directions carefully, you are supposed to essentially put the glaze in your hair with your shampoo and let it sit for five minutes. I had never heard this before but the people said this method worked the best. I thought about mixing the shampoo and glaze in my hand but decided to follow the directions exactly. The glaze is runny and you must be careful to not splash it all over your walls. I tried to work in sections but it seemed impossible so I put it, what I thought, was all over my hair. I waited the five minutes, rinsed it out, and used my conditioner.</div>

This was right before I got in the shower. I have very weird lightning in my bathroom. I took this on my iphone and "color balanced" it in an app. In person I swear my hair looks more brown than red. Also, because I went from blonde to brown, it is fading back into blonde.</div>

I took these the next day (I keep forgetting to buy a hair dryer, so I had to wait for it to air dry). Also, excuse my closet mess, I can't really reach that top shelf. Anyways, I tried to get the exact same lightning but couldn't (next time I will take more than one before picture). I also "color balanced" these pictures. I asked people if they thought my hair looked more red than the day before and they said yes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Verdict:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am not sure why it made my hair more brown along with red due to the fact that the glaze is bright red. However, this is exactly what I wanted. I was scared it was going to make my hair a fiery red and it did not. People could see the difference and I no longer freak out when I see my red going down the drain. I am not sure whether it dries out your hair. I used to have bleached hair, which is the worst damage ever. Compared to getting highlights, this product does not seem to dry my hair out. As my hair fades back to blonde, I will either get the brown glaze and use that along with the red glaze, or I will semi permanent my hair until my next salon visit. So much uncertainty in the diy hair world! As for the red glaze, as long as my hair doesn't turn bright red, I will continue to use it!</div>

So apparently Jessica Harlow, an ipsy guru, posted this picture on her instagram and removed it shortly after. But of course, the picture was screen shotted and is now floating around instagram and makeuptalk.com. The bag and blush were officially revealed by ipsy on their facebook page last Thursday but they have not mentioned the picture or another spoiler yet. From the picture, the girls on makeuptalk.com have gathered this product list:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Be A Bombshell Blush in "Beach Please" or "Sweet Cheeks"-$16</li>
<li>Satin Nail Polish - $5 (from Amazon)</li>
<li>MICA Beauty Shimmer Powder in "Earth"-$15</li>
<li>Sexy Hair Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Nourishing Styling Cream- around $6</li>
</ul>
<div>
This brings the total to $42. I am beyond excited. I was thinking about buying new blush anyways. The MICA Beauty Shimmer Powder will make a gorgeous highlighter, which I am obsessed with right now. I have a nail polish obsession. And I am ALWAYS up for new hair products. The bag is super cute too. People are complaining that it will get dirty but, I mean, you get another one next month. So suck it up! This will be my first bag and I can't wait!</div>

I think that since I have been waiting so long, I've been driven crazy wondering what I will get. They will charge me April 1st for the bag and then ship it out some time that month I am guessing. The bag is mainly focused around makeup, which is why I chose it over the others which included skin care, and 10 dollars a month. I was keeping up to date on the March one, yet I'm happy that they didn't take me off the wait list until this month. The march bag consisted of some eye shadow, gold and a green color I probably would never use. A mirror magnet make up case type thing, that I also would probably never use. A hydrating mist thing, I honestly didn't look much at it since I knew I wouldn't really use that either. I don't tan much. The last thing was traveling make up wipes. I would probably use those but would've rather had make up. So, I am already excited for April's bag. The first sneak peak was<br />

The girls of makuptalk.com have decided that it is beabombshell blush, which retails at 16 dollars. Now, since I'm only paying 10 dollars for the bag I'm already happy with april. I only recently started wearing blush, I have a peachy covergirl color. Therefore, either of these will be totally different from what I own so I have no preference on what I get. I'm hoping for another sneak peek today!</div>

However, I landed my first internship. It is at a counseling center downtown. This internship is different than the other ones I have interviewed for. One day a week I will be doing administrative work. The other day I will be working on a personal project. For the personal project, I will be teamed up with one of the counselors to create a group or workshop based on something I pick. I chose conflict resolution and crises intervention. The counselor said we will make a curriculum for a workshop and I am beyond excited. It will be amazing experience. Now, there are a few things that I learned along the way to getting that "we want you" call. First, use your college resources. I am beyond lucky that my school has a whole program that helps you find an internship. Once I was accepted, I met with my mentor and explained that I was looking for something psychology and human relations related. After she unlocked my account, I was able to pick jobs from a database to apply for. My mentor would tell me what she knew about the jobs and even sent me a template for my resume. In the first two weeks I got calls for interviews. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #666666; font-family: Lilly; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">One was a phone interview and the other (the internship I took) was at their office. A tip that I had heard was that you should dress for the job you want, not the job you are applying for, when you go into an interview. I wore professional business attire with natural make up and my hair pulled back. I tried preparing for the interview, making a list of my strengths and weaknesses, but I learned that each interview is different. The questions I was asked was how much I was willing to work, how I felt about certain situations, and even how well I get along with dogs. After the interview, my interviewer said he liked me but he wanted me to email him ideas for my personal project and call him the next week. When I called they said they wanted to offer me the position. Since they were looking for college students, they are completely flexible to my class schedule and are even allowing me to not start till after finals. It is such a relief to know that I will be getting amazing experience and that they will work with me. I think the most important tip is to use your college resources, they are there just to help you!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10408887660033233137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249064293401060285.post-12472198971446859372013-03-11T09:22:00.000-04:002013-04-01T11:46:49.940-04:00Why I Officially Hate Victoria's Secret<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #666666; font-family: Lilly; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Victoria's Secret has been making me extremely angry this past year. For Christmas I received 75 dollars in gift cards to VS. I waited for the semi annual sale to go shopping to try and get the most for my money. Even with the semi annual sale, I came out of the store feeling like I had way overpaid for my items. I ended up purchasing a sweater, bra, and three lotions. The sweater is super comfy but it is hot pink, not something I can wear every day. I paid around 26 dollars for it. I finally bought a nude bra but it doesn't fit quite as nicely as some of my other bras. I think I paid about 25 for the bra. The lotions were actually the only good deal in my eyes. It was any three for 15 or five for 20. I could only find three that I liked so I did three instead of five. I just feel as though a Charlotte Russe gift card would have gotten me a lot further. For my birthday, in February, I received a 50 dollar gift card. I have been dying to get the black sequined backpack from VS for a while now. I did not realize that it is 80 dollars. I think that is absolutely ridiculous but I mean I need a new backpack and I have a gift card. My next problem is finding it in stores. I haven't been able to find it in the two VS stores I have access to. Therefore, I tried to order it online, they wanted to charge me 14 dollars for shipping. Are they crazy? They base shipping off the price of your item not the size. That just doesn't make sense. So ordering online is out of the question unless I want to spend extra money to get the free shipping at 100 dollars. I traveled back to VS and asked if they could order it in store for me, since you get free shipping if you do this. They said that they only do that if they run out of a size in something. I left quite angry and would have given up by now if not for my gift card. I feel as though VS is completely over rated now and they know it. Another lingerie store needs to open up so they have some competition and lower their prices. After this gift card they have probably lost my business.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10408887660033233137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249064293401060285.post-37117122345267275592013-03-11T09:20:00.000-04:002013-04-01T11:46:28.117-04:00Subscription Boxes<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #666666; font-family: Lilly; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">I have officially jumped on the subscription box train. The problem is I am a poor college student and don't get to try all of the ones I want. After much research, I decided on Ipsy. However, they have a wait list, a long wait list. I signed up about a month ago and am still waiting. I am not overly disappointed because I don't find the March bag all that interesting. So, because I am waiting, I have been researching other subscription boxes. I've turned to make up for change instead of my hair, to save it from further damage. From all my research, I have decided that there are just too many subscription boxes. I am happy with my ipsy choice, I just wish it would get here already. I got an invite from BirchBox but after all the bad reviews I read I am going to pass on that one. I am not sure if I should get another beauty one or I should try a different one... say an adult subscription box. I think that would be fun but they tend to be expensive. Maybe, when I eventually get off the wait list at Ipsy, I will be satisfied with just one. Until then I will use school to distract me from my new addiction! </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10408887660033233137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249064293401060285.post-14970196525119351212013-03-09T09:19:00.000-05:002013-04-01T11:53:22.789-04:00Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Review<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can not live without it. I like to use it every other time I wash my hair. I wash my hair every other day. The days I use this, my hair comes out feeling amazing. It turns my hair from damaged to wanting to flip it around all day. I end up playing with it the whole day just because it is so soft. 3 Minute Miracle is a deep conditioner that you leave on for three minutes and rinse with warm then cool water. The price is great at around 4 dollars and the smell is even more amazing. I highly recommend this for damaged hair or if you ever feel the need to have softer hair. It is a great investment and has lasted me a really long time. It is a must have.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10408887660033233137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249064293401060285.post-71726468222556409422013-03-06T09:16:00.000-05:002013-04-01T11:52:54.724-04:00Starbuck's Refreshers Canned Energy Drink Review<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had one of those days today after working two extra hours at work, having a difficult time, and needing to grocery shop on the way home. I picked up one of these Refreshers that are my go to drink. According to the can, they are made with green coffee extract and carbonated fruit juices. The Raspberry Pomegranate is my favorite flavor compared to the Strawberry Lemonade and Orange Mandarin. I find that they give me a steady rush of energy without all the jitters from sugar in other energy drinks. Also, I found that the green coffee drinks, they have ones you can order in Starbucks's cafes, has way more caffeine than regular coffee. I have become a bit immune to low caffeine drinks so I am extra happy that the green coffee drinks wake me up. I have found the canned Refreshers at Walgreens, 7-eleven, Walmart, and hit or miss at other gas stations. Right now they are 2 for 3 at 7-eleven and occasionally at Walgreens. If you are looking for an extra pick me up grab one of these! They do the job without all the extra chemicals that other energy drinks do. </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10408887660033233137noreply@blogger.com0
