I really need to go clothes shopping. Moreso now than ever. With my new job I wont be forced to wear a uniform for the first time in a long time. This means I’ll have to go out and get a few pair of pants as well as nice shirts to wear to work. I’m excited because this is the first job where I get to dress up on a daily basis! Sometimes I like dressing up because it makes you feel pretty and it sounds weird but sometimes feeling pretty on the outside makes you feel pretty on the inside. It’s definitely a change for me. I’m not really a tomboy and at the same time I’m not a girly girl. I just dress…normal. Somewhere in between.

Girly girls will wear fitted jeans and a fancy top. Tomboys will wear baggy jeans and a t-shirt. I’ll wear fitted jeans with a t-shirt. That’s me. A happy medium.

I’m a fan of handbags but lately my collection has disappeared. I haven’t been shopping for them like I used to and I’ve just been sticking with one simple bag. Because of that all of my bags are breaking. I’m using them until they are run down and that is not good. I was looking at this nice Oscar de la Renta bag and there is no way that I would ever run that bag down. If I spend that much money on a bag I would never want to use it! I’d only use on special occasions and after that it would go in a box inside of my closet.

Every time I turn on the television I see a commercial about a new type of acne treatment. I’ve learned that dealing with your face is just like dealing with your hair. You have to be careful what you put on it. Too many chemicals could do a lot of wrong to your skin and at the same time everyone’s skin is different. The best thing to do is try it. What works for you may not work for the next person but you will never know what works until you try it out!

I’m big on saving money but the other day I got depressed…I mean really depressed and I was in the mall. So I did some spending. I guess when you think about how much I’ve spent in the last few months it wasn’t a lot. I reactivated my Game Stop card and bought 2 games. The card is $15 but you save 10-30% on games. I also purchased 2 games for the Wii. I will be taking one back. Bust A Move was $17.99 and Dream Pinball was $24.99. I don’t like the pinball game so that is going back. Bust A Move isn’t too great either, but eh. I haven’t decided if I’m going to take that back yet. Bust A Move is $30 on Amazon so I guess that’s a deal. I’ll have to play it a little more to see if I really want to keep it. I do want a pinball game so I might be trading in the one I have for the other one that they have. It’s 17.99 so at least I’ll be saving some money. Decisions, decisions…

They also had a dancing with the stars game. That seemed cool. Elebits, but I don’t know much about that one either. I have a feeling that I’ll be buying a lot of games since I’ll be working right next to game stop. What a shame…

I feel like once you get a new place you start looking for new things. One day I want to get an HDTV and a stereo system. I know that I cannot afford that now. I feel like I can’t even afford to look or dream about one, but one day that will be a reality. When that day comes I will be looking at all of the discount electronics because I love saving money! Nothing makes me happier than getting something I’ve always wanted except saving money on that little something. Some people call it being cheap, I call it saving money for other things that I need!

When you think of coffee, you think of Starbucks. There are Starbucks locations EVERYWHERE in this city. There are 3 within walking distance from my apartment and 6 less than 10 minutes away if you are driving. That’s insane! I’m not a coffee fan, myself but I do love hot chocolate. Whenever I hang out at coffee shops I either order hot chocolate or strawberries and creme. If you’re a fan of Starbucks coffee but you aren’t lucky enough to be surrounded by them like I am then maybe you should consider ordering it online. You’ll be able to enjoy gourmet coffee right from your very own coffee pot!

Since I’m in my new place I’m trying to find nice lighting fixtures that’ll keep my apartment well lit. I know around here the apartments don’t come with light fixtures. There’s usually a wall light in the hallway, the dining area, the kitchen, the bathroom and the closet. Outside of that you need to get your own lights for your bedroom and living room. I want something that looks nice and is energy efficient.

I’ve almost been in here for a month. The 19th marks a month of me living in my own place. The 19th also marks my 22nd birthday. Time is flying by FAST! I’ve been so busy looking for jobs as well as setting up house. It’s nice having my own place just because. It does get lonely but you are able to do whatever you want to do because it’s yours. I don’t know about you, but I like having my own things.
