Today Was Better

It started at 6:30 in the morning but it was better. Yesterday's post still isn't done but today can at least be talked about.

A co-worker collected me from my house and we went to go learn some things about visual elements. To be honest, I don't feel like I really learned anything I didn't already know but it is always good to refresh. The next step is to practice and then practice and then practice again. That class ended at 10 so I went to McDonald's for some breakfast and then came home and napped. It was glorious. 

I ended up back at work to close out the day and it went easier than yesterday. There were no hiccups, there weren't too many guests to deal with, and I had time to get everything done. I'm feeling more confident about this whole closing thing although I definitely would rather work during the day. 

Bonus better point of the day: my eye makeup was on point. I'm so mad at myself for not getting a picture!

Good Eyeliner Day







Top liner can be a little intimidating for most people when it comes to line thickness, straightness, and matching. Times that by like... 1500 and you get what it is like when you're blind in one eye. I used to not be able to do it at all and I had to just use bottom eyeliner. Liquid liner (only Kat Von D Tattoo liner though) changed  all of that and now it is the only kind that I do. I still struggle with it though. Getting the flick just right, making the lines the same shape and thickness. I don't understand how makeup artists can do this.

Today in general was a good make up day but today's eyeliner was on point minus a little dot on my right lid. I had three co-workers compliment me on today's makeup look and I love when that happens. It doesn't *have* to happen though. I do make up for me and when I do my makeup I tend to walk out of the house feeling pretty fabulous. If only I could transfer that ability to everything that I do.


Side note: Birth Certificate has arrived and now all that is left is to reschedule (once again) and continue learning the material!

Making NEW Goals

So we have made it half way in to my little blogging experiment and now it is time for another set of goals. 

1. The Roll Over Goal- figure out what is and is not good for me and decide what is  actually worth keeping. Look on nutritional websites, talking to people like Catherine who I consider to be knowledgable about the subject and make better choices.

2. Stay active while I am at home.

3. Turn staying active while at home into losing 20 pounds and our going down two pant sizes.

4. Seek new adventures, do things that make me happy.

5. Take more pictures.

6. Learn how to cook 2.0

7. finish Grad school applications

8. Open a savings account and have 2000 dollars in it by December

9. Go through old clothes to donate and throw away.

10 Update wardrobe

11. Learn how to drive. 

12. Spend more time outside.

This list of goal combine with the other 14 that I previously made makes 26 goals to attempt throughout the year. Of course, I could still add more but I don't think I will. I was able to accomplish around 9 out of 14 in 6 months so the majority of these 12 should be easy.
