When It Rains, It Pours

Project 36Smile!

Well, it has been over a month since my last post for Project 35Smile! and I can say that I have finally got a job! Make that three— technically!

1. Marketing and Events Associate for Seattle Met Magazine 
2. Blogger for Julep Nails. You can see my very first post on the hottest summer sandal here 
3. Retail at Madewell

All three of these jobs have been keeping a smile on my face the past month, and I couldn't be more excited. I am planning some great events at Seattle Met and learning more and more about event planning — which is exactly what I want to do and I actually love going to work, which is the best part!

Another passion of mine has always been fashion. I've heard so many times, "Why don't you start a fashion blog. You've got great style!" I am so glad I am able to combine my passion for writing and fashion trends by blogging for Julep.

As for Madewell, I am working part time there. I actually started there prior to Seattle Met and Julep for fear of being unemployed for an entire year! Then it just so happens the other two jobs came around the same time. When it rains, it pours! But in such a great way here.

I didn't realize how much having a job(s) would make a difference for my over all well being. I knew it would be good for me to get a job — I was getting kind of depressed there for awhile. Having a job gives you a reason to get up in the morning, put on makeup, put on regular clothes — as opposed to yoga pants and comfy shirts all day — and get out there and earn some money! I am contributing to this marriage. We are starting to save money now! I am earning my own money which means I don't feel bad when I want to buy something for myself. I am meeting some new people. Now, if rent wasn't so expensive, hmmmm..........

So be thankful for the job that you have, the family you are apart of and the friends around you. Our life is so short, and you never know how long you have on this earth. I am so blessed every day and I thank God daily.

What made you smile today?!

36Smile! is project where Sabrina will be writing about and sharing memories, anecdotes, fashion finds and much more that make her smile 365 days of this year! Too often, we are wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of this crazy little thing called life. We should take time out to enjoy the little things that make us smile and celebrate it! The "S" in 36Smile resembles the "5" in 365 days a year.
