Going to NYC!!!!

So hey! Look at me!!!! I finally have some job interviews with quality organizations set up for the next week and I am attending to all the final details before leaving. I have to say these meetings are not with orgs in my field necessarily, but hey, it's great experience and I don't think my ego could handle 2 yrs of unemployment. I'm running off to the stores today to pick up clothes for my interviews. The older I get, the more important it is for me to really look like myself during interviews and not just wear the cookie cutter uniform. I swear I actually do better in the interviews....probably b/c I feel confortable. That said my style is kinda feminine bohemian with a lot of menswear influences, which at times can be difficult to pull off in a professional setting, but when I do it's magic....ahhhhhhhh.
Lol, ok I'm gonna make a run down of what I'm taking and suggestions of things to take when going on a trip like this so look out for it:)
Toodles!

Update

Well my friends it's getting into the latter part of January and I still don't have employment. I know many of you are in the same boat. I'm frustrated and confused and a little bit scared but I'm pushing on because there is no other alternative to living my passion. It is who I am and vice versa. I normally don't write such personal blogs but hey, no one even knows I'm writing these blogs and it's cathartic!

So for now, I believe I'm dedicating my blog to my job search. Hopefully it will be funny....but mostly it will be true and I'm sure y'all will be able to relate.

And of course there will be lots of travelling! I'm in the rainy south for the time being but am heading back to NYC, DC, and possibly SanFran amongst others, very soon to pound the pavement:) So possibly, these could be the best travellingfemme blogs yet!

Please email me with any questions or comments.
Happy Trails!

Loreal Paris Go 360 Clean Facial Cleanser Sensitive

With the crazy cold weather that has been gripping the USofA my skin was really suffering. I knew I needed to switch to a milder cleanser, maybe even milk/lotion version but I couldn't think of any that were really appealing. Then one day walking through my local CVS I saw a display for the new brand of facial cleanser by Loreal. It comes with a pop out rubbery 'scrublet' that kinda seemed like little more than a gimmick but being that i could get a really gentle sensitive skin formula that would also deep clean, thanks to the afore mentioned scrublet, I was intrigued. I bought it today and practically ran to the sink to wash my face.
I have to say I'm liking it.
Oddly, even though it's a lotion it still foams, so I was afraid it was going to leave me dry, but it didn't at all!
Besides that, the scrublet actually does work. I have pretty good skin but I almost always have congestion on my chin. After just one use my chin actually looked.....cleaner. Does that make sense?
Either way, as of now I can totally recommended this product, but I'll keep you posted on if it delivers in the long run!
So if you are looking for an inexpensive deep clean for normal/dry or any skin type in the midst of winter, really, stop by your store and pick up some this mild goodness.
And then tell me what you think!!

Keep Warm and Happy 2010!
