Insight is very powerful
“You eventually realize what you were meant to do with your life around 30. Before that you’re stretching, and some people stretch longer or shorter than that. But when you finally realize what you’re meant to do, it’s awesome.” I heard that from a potential client a co-worker and I met this morning. She’s the founder of a natural aromatherapy skincare line, a dancer and dance studio owner in her younger years, and a personality that you just want to be around just to hear her insight on life. People like that inspire me. The fact that she went to France on a whim to study fragrances, only to realize…

Happy Halloween (or not)
So today is Halloween and I’m not a fan. It was fun when I was 5 and got to dress up like a pumpkin. Those times were fun- riding in the car with my parents going from house to house with our buckets collecting candy from strangers. Then going back to the house and dumping all of our candy so our parents could check the ones that looked suspicious and throw them out. Dressing up in fun costumes, those were the good times. As I get older though, it just hasn’t been fun anymore. I don’t like being scared, scary movies, or haunted houses. It’s also become that one night…

take me out to the ball game!
Well last night was a first for me, went to a World Series baseball game. I’m not a huge baseball fan, but if I’m going to go to a game, the World Series is not a bad one to go to!

First of all, the weather was awesome, which is so rare for Dallas. Second of all, the Rangers won which put everyone in a good mood. But what struck me the most about the game was the good energy in the stadium. It…

my sisters: our little trio
One of the many joys of having a new job is disposable income. To be able to go shopping and get the things you want without worry is such a good feeling that is sometimes taken for granted. Now mind you I’m a serious bargain shopper, so we’re not talking multiple $$$, but shopping without worry is a great feeling and I’ll leave it at that. I spent the day with my sisters, and its times like today where I feel truly lucky to be a part of the unbalanced, dramatic yet super loyal trio that we are. We spent 7 hours at the mall (you heard right) and spent…

hello, my name is…
Ah networking, it’s a necessity of the working life. I’ve always been slightly reluctant to engage in it, simply because I’m not one of those that can pretend to like someone if I don’t. With me it’s always been what you see is what you get. So going to networking events where people are just talking to you because of where you work or who you know is just superficial to me. However, connections are a big part of getting through life, the next job, or the next big opportunity. In marketing especially, it’s about the connections you have and how they can help you in the future. I went to…
