Goodies

so, things went really well with the job interview and i got the job!!! i consider it as a big personal achievement. i set myself a goal to find a good position with great responsibility, in a stable company, with better money and the most important - doing something i love!!!

every time i reach a goal i set, i like to treat myself with something nice. this time i decided to check out the leftovers from the lanvin collection at h&m. to my surprise i found out that most of the dresses were still at the store, so as 2 pairs of shoes and some accessories. at first i thought i won the jackpot, but after checking the pieces, i realized, i'm not going to buy any item from the collection. the quality of the pieces was unbelievably bad. lets say that you can get better quality buying at forever 21.

ok i get it, this is h&m and not couture pieces, but come on! have some respect! most of the items in the collection priced higher then a usual h&m item and they got the name lanvin attached to them, so why is the quality is so low??? shame on you mr elbaz!

eventually i left h&m with some hello kitty goodies. red velvet hair bow and pink kitty bra. not so bad after all :)

Good Hair Week

my hair is getting longer and longer, so i tend to wear it up, in a ponytail, a bun or a loose braid. to fresh it up a little, this week i'm going to try some new things. i found those cool tutorials on youtube and plan to try them starting tomorrow.

the first tutorial, a japanese bun, should take about a minute and is perfect for a busy mornings. the second, a bow, should take about 3 minutes and make a great accessory. the last one, a french fishtail braid, takes a bit longer, around 10 minutes, but the result is gorgeous.

what's your favorite hair style at the moment?

Looking Bad Is Not An Option

last week i went to a job interview. actually a went to several interviews, last week, but this one was really important. i really want this job and have a nice chance to get it.

the evening before the interview i couldn't decide what to wear. the job is at a big international company and i couldn't chose something to crazy, fancy or colorful. eventually i decided on a dark skinny jeans with silk grey blouse and a long, stripy, black and white cardigan. i also decided on a minimal amount of accessories - the usual pearl earrings and necklace. as for the shoes i went for black heels. classy. but a bit to boring for my taste. so i changed into my new irregular choice heels. crazy. but much more me.

when i sat at the reception, waiting to the interview, 2 ladies came in. they sat next to me and began talking about the presentation that they prepared for the meeting. a few minutes later a woman came in and called them in, so the women followed her. but then the older lady turned back an said to me: "i love your shoes. where did you get them? i would love to buy a pair for my daughter". i thanked her and told her the name of the store.

needless to say, that a compliment, from a complete stranger at 8:54 in the morning (in my world morning can last until 12:00 at noon), is a great booster. my confidence increased. my eyes were shining and i had a big smile on my face. the interview went great and now i'm waiting for their answer. i really hope it's a yes.

so what is the lesson of this story? always look good and feel good about your look. add your touch to everything you do and be true to yourself. if you cant wear your favorite clothes for work use small accessories, to lighten up you day. wear funny underwear or socks. change hair styles. anything that work for you. find it and do it. as you feel better about yourself, everything in your life will improve. your mood will get better and you will become more approachable and likeable. your work will improve. your loved ones will become happier and good things will happen.

and this is why, looking bad is not an option!

Road Trip

last weekend, me and my mom took a road trip to eilat. eilat is a resort town by the red sea, located in the south of israel. it's famous for his beautiful beaches and reefs, water sports, sunny weather, fancy hotels and most important - tax free shopping!!!

we drove for about 4 hours and had a fun stop at the 101 km. it's a must pit stop in the middle of the desert, where you can find coffee, refreshments, snacks, a little zoo and other fun activities. we had coffee, rested a bit and visited the animals.

we arrived to the hotel at 15:00, went swimming in the pool and had a massage. after diner we went for a walk in the city and had a beer on the beach.

the next day began with a huge breakfast at the hotel and some sunbathing by the pool. then we went shopping. mom got a lovely white cardigan with zebra print, brown leather belt and a pair of irregular choice flats. as for me, i got my self a pair of heels, also by irregular choice (i'm on a strict budget). with the shopping came the hunger, so we headed for lunch in a restaurant by the sea. mom had fish and i ate steak. after the food, the beers and the ice cream, we came back to our hotel for some rest.

when dinner time came we realized we weren't hungry so we had some sushi at the hotel and went to see "wow love 8" - amazing show with music, dancers, acrobats and otter surprises. if you visiting eilat in the near future - go and see it!!! after the show we went for a walk by the sea and then came back to the hotel.

for our last day we had breakfast, swam at the pool, packed our bags and headed home. on the way back we stopped at kibbutz yotvata for coffee and photos.

my mom is awesome! we had the best time together :)
