Why I didn't enjoy working at Sephora (or retail.)

Every woman out there right now knows about Sephora or at least have heard about it. They bring awesome makeup products to their store by some brands that we all know and love. I love Sephora, and I always will, even though I didn't enjoy working there. I believe it takes a special kinda person to work there.

When I got called in for a interview for Sephora, I got overly excited. My boyfriend helped me practice sales skills, and interview skills. I was so excited it was unbelievable. There is so many people I knew personally that applied for Sephora and didn't even get a interview for here, and I did?! I looked at different outfits for the interview process, and was working hard for this every day. I still remember the day I interviewed; I went in around 4 pm and waited to be pulled back. It was a group interview and the two other girls were very awesome, and sweet. But I then felt very discourage because I felt like they fit the part better then me.

A few days later I got a call after calling in a few times to figure out if I got the spot or not. Then she told me I got it! I was so pumped, and ready to start. But I wasn't going to start for a couple days. I quit my other job, which I regret, because I wish I would of stayed. It's the job I truly love and enjoy. Once I started, it really started to go downhill from there.

Working at Sephora was a real experience and opened up my eyes to why people really don't like working in retail. I love people, and I love working with them, but gosh, people can get mean. I never really realized it till then. My coworkers were great, but they weren't people I could relate to, which sucks. I got hired on for how much I knew about products and my personality; but I really didn't feel like I fit in one bit with these people. 

I'm not here to bash on Sephora one bit, but i'm here to warn people that might think about working at Sephora, make sure you really want to do it. Don't work somewhere because you think it might be cool to brag to people that you work here, or don't do it if you have a gut feeling telling you not to, like I did. Sephora will always be one of my favorite places to shop, but not to work. To me personally, it's one of those places that will always be like that. 

Travel Sunday.

Hey you awesome person of the internet. I've decided that I want to post something to do with traveling on Sunday's. So guess what, i'm going to do that. These pictures are from when I went to Arkansas a couple weeks back! Enjoy!
P.S. These pictures are also featuring my stunning friend Sydney!

Is it just me?

I have this same thought every day.
Is it just me?

Sometimes in this big ol' world I feel like I'm the only one that feels certain ways about things. Even more so on things that don't fit the norm. I like change. Normally people hate it, they either want to stay at a job for a long time, or they want to keep holding on to pictures that are on their phone of them and their lovely ex. But nope, that's never been me.

I've been through a crap ton of jobs, I always want to move, I delete pictures of me and that ex as soon as those feelings are about to drop, and I change what I want to do for the rest of my life everyday. One day it's a doctor, the next it's a photographer. So what do you do if this is you? Well, actually, I'm here to tell you you're screwed.

You're screwed in the sense that no one is ever going to understand your judgement or your choices in life. You're not screwed in the sense that you're never going to be happy. The people that judge you for your choices, are the people that you shouldn't have around. It is your life, so at the end of the day, what the hell does it matter?

To keep yourself happy, experience the world. Take each day by day, stop planning for the future when me and you both know that it's going to change by tomorrow. Now, i'm not saying hope certain things will happen one day, i'm saying, plan out your day that you get to try something new once a day; or even twice! Whatever you fancy.

As for me, I'm more than likely never going to keep a long job (sorry mom, dad, and my boyfriend.) till I find something that gives me that change everyday that I need. I'm probably going to want to change where I live before a year is up, because let's face it, I like houses and the more awesome; the better. I'm also going to quit blogging, and YouTube every now and then, but I always come back to it better than ever. Moral of this story is, do whatever makes your heart race. Change or not, it's okay, and life is still going to be awesome for you. You just gotta make it that way.

Why people take breaks from blogging.

Well, aye. I feel like this happens more than it should. I forget to write, or never find the time for it which is odd because I adore to type out my thoughts. Things just get scary when you're putting yourself out on the internet, because it's like, who's really reading this anyways? What do they want to see me write about? Who am I marketing to?

Well the thing with me is, I get scared with commitment. I get scared with the fact that if you're running a blog, you have to sit down and post at least once a week to really keep people around. When you're first starting out, you don't get much engagement, and that can be really disappointing. You feel like you're writing to no one, which you kinda are. I remember when I got my first comment on my old blog, it was like christmas. I'm pretty sure I told everyone I saw that day. To those people, they were more than likely thinking "What the hell, I could care less. It's just some random person on the internet, they could be a 40 year-old man for crying out loud." But to me, it was like the light at the end of the tunnel.

Someone cared about what I was writing.

Now, the person that is writing to you right now isn't really the biggest talker in real life anyways. I mostly don't voice my views on things, and I rather sit there and people watch than engage in whatever convo you people are having. So for me personally, when it comes to writing on here, it's a way for me to voice whatever is going on in this head of mine. I've wrote more in the blogging world then i've even told my closest friends.

My point of this post is that, people, including me, take breaks from blogging because they are scared of what is to come from it. Are you going to get that first comment? How long is it going to take? That's what goes through your mind daily. Well, I'm here to say that that is completely normal. To people that don't blog, or maybe even some that do, it's a walk in the park. But to people like you and me, it really isn't. Your anxiety kicks in every 5 seconds, then you don't write for 5 months because you don't have the motivation to do it.

Write anyways. Even if you don't post whatever you wrote, get it out. Eff the rules of how long a post needs to be so it will be read more, do whatever makes you happy and makes you smile at the end of the day. Your mental health, and happiness is what is most important and should come first. When you take care of yourself, you're able to get out in the world and take care of others.

Writers Block is a Pain

I remember I use to love to write, to write whatever was on my brain and it would be awesome. Well, at least to me it would be. But that was back when you could write a blog post about whatever, even if it wasn’t about a awesome DIY project, and you would actually get views on it. 

So what do you write about when you can’t write about something? Doesn’t make much sense, but in a way it does. Views are now towards something that helps other people, when it use to be that you could write about your life and that would help others. To me, it’s comforting to know that someone else is going through the same exact thing i’m going through. But nope, you’re going to get a low amount of views on that kind of post, which also means less people you get to reach/help.

I’m not meaning at all it’s bad to post 5 ways to make money, or a awesome DIY project. I’ve done things like that before also, and they are interesting to read. But I miss the old blogging world where you could write was on your heart and you would get on the next day and see the comments from the hearts you have touched, or the hearts that are supportive of you. 

So yes, I have writers block like crazy because what are you suppose to write about when you have nothing exciting to post about? I work, I eat, I sleep, and I play video games. Does really anyone want to hear about that? Well I do, so I’m going to write about that. I’m going to write about what I love, and if I lose views for it, oh well. 

Do what you love. Love what you do. 

WHERE HAVE I BEEN + Something awesome!

Well, long time no see to my favorite people. I haven't been on here for a hot minute. Life has been super busy with work, and moving. Oh yeah, I moved. It's pretty freakin' cool and I love it. Mostly because I have a bathtub, and at my parents all they had was a shower. So, I spent 85% of my time taking a bath and eating. No Shame on that though.

I'm VERY SURE THOUGH, that my life isn't at busy as Captain Obvious life, because, well, he's running for PREZ (president) YA'LL. One step at a time, Captain Obvious is taking names, and taking over, with a little help from Hotels.com! He even has a twitter, @CaptainObvious, where you can follow him throughout 2016. Here on his twitter, he'll be live tweeting during the upcoming presidential debates, also he'll be tweeting some daily remarks on big moments, and just some tweets that i've really enjoyed so far.

It doesn't stop at the twitter though, he also has his own page you can check out if you want to check out 50 videos that are specific to each state, GIFs (my favorite), and if you want to check out the cool Captain Obvious merchandise. Which, means I will more than likely end up with some merchandise because why not?

Thank you guys for checking out this post, and I've missed you so much! I promise I will be posting more once I get it together. Which is hopefully soon. But check out Hotels.com and Obvious 4 Prez and let me know what you think about Mr. Obvious in the comments below. I can't wait to hear from you guys!
