Career Life Crisis

I've hit the wall. This is a phrase I often use when I'm doing something (usually shopping, or studying) and all of a sudden I come to an abrupt stop and realize I can go no more. There is no slow realization to this conclusion, no build up of any sort. It isn't a feeling I see coming in the distance or a decision I make one small thought at a time. It isn't like jogging where first you become short of breath, then your legs start to burn and then you get a cramp forcing you to slow down then maybe walk. Nope, it's as if my motivation and desire suddenly run head on into a wall; thus the phrase I utter "I've hit the wall" and I cease to continue.


Well, I've hit the wall with my career. I'm a buyer for a wireless technology company, and though a great company (I call it the Google of San Diego) I realize that buying is not what I want to do. The problem is, I don't know what I want to do. I do know I want to move back to AZ and right now, that's taken a primary focus in my career goals, but I just know purchasing is not something I wish to pursue any longer. Further into this conundrum I sink when I realize, I don't know HOW to move to another path. Sure you read about it and you see people do it all the time. They used to be this and now they do that. But how?? How do you get companies to take a chance on you when all you have is a very narrow area of experience?

And so begins my quest into my career life crisis. I'll be sure to keep you posted

Recently I was trolling around looking to see if honey does all it’s touted to do for the face. Then I discovered a really delightful DIY mask on ehow.com. The best part? It uses everyday ingredients you have in the house.

Honey Mask
Ingredients
1 T honey
1 t olive oil
Egg yolk

Mix the honey and olive oil together, then add yolk.
Mix until creamy
Apply warm washcloth to your face to open up the pores. Apply mask and let sit for 20 minutes, rinse with warm water followed by a splash of cold water.

According to ehow honey kills germs, reduces swelling and inflammation. The olive oil is used to moisturize the skin without the greasy film other heavy oils can leave behind while the egg yolk is used to remove oil, dirt and the resulting greasy shine from your face. If your feeling particularly harried, add cucumber slices to the eyes to reduce puffiness.

Sometimes I really love being a recessionista.

I came across the most delicious website, How About Orange and after looking about, I want to go to there. I particularly love her window treatment ideas.

Just a roll of contact paper and cheap shade were combined to make the adorable shade you see below.

This shade treatment utilized artist's tape and a shade from Home Depot. And because artist's tape leaves no residue, you can change out colors easily.

Makes me wish I had windows to decorate....sigh.
