Real World: How To stay sane in a crazy work enivornment

In a few short weeks  at a temparay position, I found out that people are really crazy , even in professional places.  I must had some high expectations ,but I expected to work with professional individuals (WRONG!) .   I came up with some tips for everyone to stay calm at work.



1. STAY AWAY FROM OFFICE GOSSIP AND HATER BITCHES!


The situation: The Hater bitch

There was a girl at my job who was a bitch. She was ghetto as fuck,  I mean the girl  could not speak in a  complete sentence. Anyway, she always had  a mean look or steer specially for me (Yay!) . I did not know why she didn't  like me because we didn't know each other. But, the girl was getting on my nerves because she was alway steering at me. Like, I could be typing at my desk and she would be steering at me from a desk way from mine.    I ignored her by listening to my to my ipod. Until, I forgot to charge it and I over heard her talking about me, it took all of me not to say something because it wasn't going to be professional. Instead,  I txt'd  my friend who give me some really good advice.
Me: I am about to play the shit out of this  dumb bitch at my office . She talking shit on me for no reason.

Friend: Don't say anything. Stay foucsed on your work and get better at your job. She is threaten for whatever reason , but don't FORGET WHY YOUR THERE FOR A JOB NOT A FRIEND.

Reread those bold letters because that is what  got me back on track.   Even though I was a big thread in  office gossip conversations ( those bitches were ugly and losers .) I learned not to let that stuff throw me off track . I also learned how to inform HR.

Lesson: Do not let gossip or office losers distract you at work. Those people are not satified with themselves and that is why they have to be assholes. Instead of getting upset or reacting at them ( which they want you to do) focus that enegry on learning your job and performing it well. If things get out of control report them to HR, but don't allow  an  individual's  unprofessionalism distract you from completing your best work .

2. NEVER TELL YOUR BUSINESS TO PEOPLE AT WORK

This is a no Brainer. Don't tell anyone your business at work unless you want people to talk about you.

3. Detach yourself from your job everyday.

I  learned this from Kelly Cutrone's book , If You Have to Cry go Outside, She believed to have a happy life outside of work, you must leave all the bs at work.   This is true because after awhile I was getting drained by working at that company. My routine during the week was go to work, come home, eat and sleep. When I was home I would talk about my job.

But, after reading Kelly's section on detaching from your work enivornment . I can see how I could have changed my actions. I would have been less drained after coming home from work if I wasn't always talking about the stupid bullshit with my friend there and at home. Instead I could have cleared  my mind of work at 5 P.M, and focused doing something that made me happy,  like doing yoga,  going on a date , movies etc. Implementing this into your life will make your work life seem alot better.

So, those are my tips I hope you guys enjoy, and I pray that I don't work with a single one of those people again in life.

Inspirational Words: Bag Lady

Morning,

Today I woke up with same feeling that I usually feel when I wake up,  tension. I won't go to far into it out of respect , but I know that I am not the only one waking up angry every morning . (This tension is coming up on its one year anniversary!)  We have all been through things with people in our lives, which we have no control over. However, we can control how these conflicts effect us.  I know for a fact the person I'm upset with  is not waking up tense everyday, but I am ( not fair lol!).  After listening to Erykah  Badu song  Bag Lady it made me really think about how I'm hurting myself by holding on to this situation .  Harboring  negative feelings or events only hurt you. So, if you got  to scream it out, write it out, talk it out with someone. Do it. Let it go and be free.

Main deets of her makeup uniform

Face
To achieve the dewy skin of Ms. Van Der Woodson use a tinted moisturizer , like Mark get tinted moisturzer to give you light coverage , which creates  a  nautral looking face. If you need a heavier coverage  either opt for a concealor  to cover imprefections , or try a heavier formula foundation to go over the problem areas. This way you keep the barely there makeup plus have the  coverage you need.

Serena is also has a very warm sun kiss complexion . No matter your skin color anyone can use bronzer to add warmth to their faces. A great one to use is  by Mark called  Glowdacious Illuminating Powder . This is a great bronzer just like the higher end brands and it comes in various shades to compliment every  skin tone.

To add a pretty  flush to the face use a  blush like Mark's  Good Glowing custom pick powder blush in Golden Glo or Sun Love Glo .
Lastly, conceal undereye circles to complete the  fresh awake look.


Eyes

Gossip Girl makeup

Morning Everyone!

Anyone who watches Gossip Girl is usually blinded by the fashion and drama. But, what about the makeup? Each actress has her own unique makeup uniform. Yes, I said uniform because they typically wear this youthful look on the show and red carpet events. What I love about their  makeup is that it's very youthful and even when you see the stars without their  make up uniform,  they look exactly the same. No big tranformations  like with J.lo or Miley Cyrus. Also, having a makeup uniform look is great for everyone  because no matter the trend , you have a go to look that will always look effortless and flawless which is the objective of makeup anyway.

This week is Gossip girl makeup using affordable MARK/AVON products!

WELCOME!

Hi everybody!

My name is Mani and this is my blog! (yay!) . Here are some stats I am a young woman trying to make it in this tough economy lol. I recently graduated from college (T U!) and I'm just trying to figure this world out.  I like to have fun and experience new things and I look forward to doing that on this blog.

Why I decided to start a blog?
I read blogs every single day from fashion to gossip (loves it!).  I decided to create my own blog because I was really inspired by other bloggers who share their life experiences. Also, I thought hey I can create a blog about me and stuff I like and don't like, while working on my writing. Yes. I graduated college but I suck at writing it’s true and I hate revising lol!

What to expect from this blog!

Fashion and Beauty- My senior year I became a Avon/ Mark beauty Rep . I love all the products and everything about both companies .I wanted to bring the great  savings , beauty and fashion tips to my subbies.

Advice & Uplifting words- I want through some tough times  in my life  and it was difficult for me to get over. I am very much an introvert to the complete definition of the word. However, I was able to learn how to get over hurdles in my life and I would love to share that with everyone, so we can all live happily.

Randomness- Basically everything I can't think of now.

Anyway, I hope someone is actually reading this message and will join me on this rollercoaster ride. I promise it will be fun lol!
