Career Ownership

When I started working for Corporate America I was 22. I was still in my last year of college and needed a job to help pay for my new apartment so I started on the lowest level possible. It was awful looking back now, I did it, I worked hard and moved up pretty fast, but I could have done a few things differently. I could have had a better relationship with my boss, which would have worked out better for me now. I could have lived by the company motto, but I didn't believe in it, still don't. I also could have dressed better, probably could still do that now!
That old saying, dress for the job you want, not the job you have. Girl, it is so true.
Clothes transform you, make you a different person, make you ore likable and as much as we don't want to admit it, people do judge you according to it.
At 22 I didn't care that much because after work my good clothes came out to go to dinners I couldn't afford and bar hoping. And those clothes were definitely not office appropriate. I have changed my ways, and now being a mom I struggle with comfort vs style.
Heels can make a huge difference in your outfit, though I prefer a smart wedge or flat.
Looking back, I would have invested in nicer pieces that lasted me up till now, but I still have a hard time spending $500 on a jacket.
I have listed some alternatives below. Some items I will be purchasing, in my price range and very mom appropriate.

Sundays

For me, Sundays really suck now. It means the weekend is coming to an end and I am back to the grind in less than 24 hours. I usually end up drinking mimosas all day to numb the pain of the week waiting ahead. But today I am in search of the perfect ankle pant. Exciting huh?

Since having a kid, my taste and style in clothing has changed. I turned my heels in for flats and my fitted flares in for ankle and skinny pants. Why? Well because they are more comfortable and practical for lugging around a child. I don't have time or the energy to strut my shit in four inch heels and even if I tried I would probably break my ankle. Plus I need pants that are comfortable and stay fitted all day. Here are some of my favorites. And Happy Mothers Day!!

Anxiety

I constantly have stress and anxiety in the workplace.
Sometimes I get chest pains, I don't want to eat and my anxiety is so high I have to take a few minutes to walk around and just breath.

Here are some tips I follow to help with reducing my stress and anxiety.

You're A Bitch

Do you ever look at someone and just think, how do you get through life?

I have several people I know like this and there is that one at work that I would like shake and say, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU. YOU ARE A BITCH. 

This person has a horrible personality, one that is fake and changes at the first site of management. This person talks highly to your face but is then nasty behind your back  (bitch we sit in cubes, I can hear you). This person thinks he/she is better than you, when in reality they are such a bad person you think they crawled up from hell and rode satan in to work that day. These people are bitches. Little fucking bitches that I can't stand. I don't know how you get through life and I don't know how the hell you have kept your fucking job all these years. 

Rant over.
