My New Profession!

I have a surprise for you... Earlier this month I got an awesome pair of earrings for my birthday which I wore last week. I kind of fell in love with them so I went to the website to check out some of the other offerings.

Now I had heard of Stella & Dot before but, had never really looked into it. I'm so glad that this gift prompted me to. Not only did I find a whole bunch of fun new jewelry I also found a ton of information on becoming a Stella & Dot stylist. They totally sold me on it and now I am a stylist!

You can check out my page and if you're interested we can talk jewelry! You can also shop Stella & Dot by clicking on the ladies who lunch in the top left of this page. I am so excited to get started!

FFBF: When I Grow Up I Want To Be...

1. Fess up - if you could do anything professionally what would it be?

If I could do anything I would want to be a professional personal organizer! Houses, offices, apartments, closets, desks, cabinets, purses; you name it, I could do it...

2. What draws you to this?

I like things to be orderly and when things are it makes life so much easier. Honestly, not everyone is capable of doing that in every aspect of their life all the time but, I have always been able to be impartial and practical when faced with these situations and come up with economical solutions if necessary. It just seems so natural and I'm sure I could be a help to lots of people who don't have these traits!

3. When did you first start dreaming about this ideal?

It probably started when I was a personal assistant for a local doctor. She was smart and practical person who kept a beautiful home but, a train wreck of an office. I helped her put it all in order and worked with her every week to keep it that way for years! Did I mention this is when I was in high school? Yeah...

4. What's holding you back from going all in?

It seems unrealistic to me now. Who is going to pay me the hourly rate I would want to go through their mess/junk and potentially tell them they needed to buy more stuff to organize it. We are in just got out of a recession! I'm sure there are more important things for most people to spend their money on.

That being said being organized helps your save money in the end...

5. Sometimes the first step is the hardest... what's one step you can take now on the way to realizing your dream?

I guess I could try to network with more people about my "talent" but, it might be more convincing if I didn't use quotes around the word like it's a fake thing or a foreign concept.

Purchases: February 2011

Wow guys I did it again, that makes four whole months in a row! As much as I would love to attribute it to my unwavering self control I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the fact that this was a fiscally tricky month for me. Changing jobs combined with our proximity to tax season (where I generally get a decent refund that acts as a safety net) didn't allow me enough wiggle room in my budget to even consider shopping. Thankfully Mom and BF came to the rescue to fill in the wardrobe gaps that needed plugging in this new office. 

Best New Job Gift Ever!

I just had to share this with you guys since I know you will appreciate it. Yes, that is a pop up post-it dispenser shaped like a purse! Yes, BF's parent's are awesome!!

FYI: I am a post it fiend and purses are my fav.
