Fearless, Fabulous, Full of Life

whoaaa ! hey there hi there!! its been a while hasnt it?

i am happy/excited and HONESTLY able to say that i am BACK to the blogging world!!! after a small hiatus, followed by one post– followed by an even LONGER hiatus– i have realized just how MUCH i have missed blogging!!! i hope you all accept me back !!!!!!

SO much has happened in the past two months– i cannot even begin to tell you all. as you all know– i had a job interview– before hand i had to get some new kicks/threads to make sure i was lookin freshhh!

theory suit (LOVE THEORY!!)

and elizabeth & james shoes (the olsen twins’ new line) sooo painful but ohh soo worth it!!!!

after acing the interview and learning i had received the job..i naturally decided to have my FIVE wisdom teeth taken out….

this was about 2 minutes post surgery– all i can do is laugh!!!

hahahaha. i think this would make a good operation beautiful pic dont you? NO makeup WHATSOEVER and just had 5 bones extracted from my mouth! not to mention drugged up out of my mind! just so glamorous! hahahaha

i was VERY prepared for post surgery in terms of eats– i had bought LOTS of yogurt/jello and other soft things to eat. even ‘materials’ for a GREEN MONSTER!! (which i DID make once and it was BANGIN! and yes i have only made ONE– i’m too lazy to clean out that blender all the time! haha)

all in all– the surgery was NOT bad at all– everyone warned me that i was going to be in SO much pain– but i was able to actually eat a baked sweet potato that same night– i even had a bagel and crackers the next day…

the day after surgery i wasn’t all that ‘chipmunk’ looking … what do you all think?

besides getting my wisdom teeth out– i have been busy busy busy with my new FULL TIME job!! all i can say is WOWWW– what a different life it is to work full time!!

what is my job you ask? i work at the front desk at a luxury hotel RIGHT in the city!! (and no its not the hotel you are thinking of– i actually considered working there but i declined a second interview when i realized i would never be able to stay/eat there!– its a company policy!) and you all know how much i eat at the restaurant– its my second home!! i could never give that up!!

speaking of the fabulousness that is the bristol lounge– a few weeks back they revamped the ENTIRE menu!!! the first night we were able to enjoy it they sent us an entire seafood sampler (UMM HELLO LOBSTER CLAWS/SHRIMP/CLAMS/CRAB LEGS!) we were in HEAVENNN!

so as of late i’ve been VERY busy with work/getting used to my new schedule. as a front desk guest services agent i either have a 7am-3pm shift or a 3pm-11pm shift— it changes EVERY week and i never know what days/shifts i’ll work until a few days before the beginning of the week! its been difficult to get used to a new schedule– especially in terms of eating/working out! i used to HATE working out in the afternoon– but when i have to be at work at 7 am– i have no choice! i also require MORE energy (FOOD) as i’m constantly on my feet for 8+ hours a day! i never thought i would actually wake up at 6 am STARVING for breakfast! and its up to me to make sure i’m properly fueled so that i can make it through most of the morning until i can sneak a snack.

i dont even really think/worry half as much as i used to about food/working out. i have calmed down with that whole DE mindset almost entirely– i mean i think i will always be conscious of working out and calories– but in NO way does it consume my life. if i dont eat enough at work– i cant function– its simple. and i cannot work like that– ESPECIALLY in dealing with customer service issues. my job is goingSO well so far– and i have received LOTS of positive feedback from my boss/guests in the hotel— it feels great to find a job that i really enjoy/may be good at!

in other news– during the past two months i had a really scary health issue going on. luckily i am 1000000% OK but it has REALLY made me learn/appreciate my LIFE in a way that i never have. the other night– the month of scorpio began– it kabbalah it states that this is the most challenging month for all people. i went to an event for the new month at the kabbalah center the other night and the most important thing that i took away from the event was the fact that you have to realize that no matter WHAT hardship you are going through in your life- you have to realize that by PUSHING THROUGH and staying TRUE to yourself– you will reveal more POSITIVITY and LIGHT in the end. the kabbalah also states that in life, we are given the ’strength’ to overcome a challenge– before we are given the challenge at hand. in other words, the creator only ‘gives’ you certain challenges in life because you are READY for them and they will take you to the next level to becoming a ‘better’ person.

i can truly say that the challenges i have faced within the past few months have given my life a completely new direction. i feel as though i have matured SOOO much and that i am in a COMPLETELY different place than i was a few months ago.

i decided to start blogging again for a few reasons– first and foremost i have really MISSED each and everyone of you. you have all changed my life in ways i cannot even express. secondly, i LOVE talking about food and i REALLY want to go into the organic food industry some day– i feel as though by doing this– i am keeping that kind of ‘energy’ around as i ride this wave workin at the hotel.

well that’s all for now!! i’m not sure how often i’m going to be blogging but i can promise it will be atleast a few times during the week! i have sincerely missed you all SO much and i thank you kindly for taking the time to read this and all of your support! that’s all for now xoxoxoxooxoxox j
