Coffee Shops and Bars

Holly — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:01:27 +0000

My project this term is designing a coffee shop. I love it because this is the type of interior design I want to do. I want to design hotels and restaurants. I have been looking all over for some interesting Metal Bar Stools, yes I know I should have had this done by now, but really it’s more that I keep changing my mind. First I wanted Wood Bar Stools then I only wanted lounge seating, now I want metal and I still may change my mind by Friday.

I found this stool on the bar-stool-store.com and I really do like it. It’s metal and it just makes me happy. Other then that it looks a lot like the wooden ones I choose. They are actually wood and metal, but I kept thinking that I needed something else. I was going to add an area outside, but I didn’t draw it in, maybe I could use this set as a suggestion for an outdoor space. I’ll have to think about that. At least I have found some options and I think a site I will bookmark so that I can use them again, either for myself or a client.

My Last Week Of School

Holly — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:57:31 +0000

I’m excited, and very nervous. This week is my last week of classes, not just for the term, no I will finally have my bachelors degree and I’m so happy! I’m not looking forward to the job hunt, but at least I won’t have to work around a school schedule anymore. I’m also excited because I can stop spending money on gas to drive an hour and a half to classes.

I’m nervous because now I really need to find work. I’ve been thinking about starting my own interior design business, but I really want to work in the field under someone for a while first. I know I know what I’m doing, but my main weakness is I always second guess myself. I’m sure my classmates see this all the time as I’m always asking them about things that I know, but just don’t think I do. I’m working on it and hopefully it will improve as time goes on.

Right now I’m just concentrating on finishing up some projects and getting my outfits together for the presentations. I’m not as stressed out as I normally am and that’s nice, but at the same time it’s weird. Oh well I guess I’m now getting use to it!

Almost Time To Get New Glasses

Holly — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 13:56:35 +0000

I love that I found a cheap way to get the eyeglasses I need. I use Zenni Optical and I love them so much. I don’t make a lot of money and as a student I’m always looking on ways to save so that I have money for supplies. Being able to buy my eyeglasses cheap helps and since all I have to do is pay for my exam I save a lot of money.

I’m sure I’m not the only one looking to save money. I don’t have insurance and I’m sure many of you reading this are in the same boat. With Zenni optical I can use some of the discount services to get my exam and then save money on my glasses. The best part is that you can trust Zenni, at least that has been my experience. I have ordered from them a few times and I plan to very soon again. What else makes me know that they are a company you can trust is that they have been featured in the Examiner: Cheap eyeglasses are a reality. I love this article because it’s very true. I had a very good experience and so did this reviewer.

In fact I have recommended them to other students and at least 2 of them have ordered along with people they know and so far they all are very, very happy with their glasses. You really can’t beat the price, since glasses start at as little as $8 it’s very affordable for anyone. All you need is a valid prescription and your ready to go. I personally love the pair shown here and I think they are the one’s I’m going to order. I like them because they are square, simple and come with the sun shade attachment, of course if they get new frames in that may change!

Want to Go To The Rodeo?

Holly — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:19:09 +0000

I do, in fact I have wanted to for many many years. When I lived in Texas I heard about the Houston rodeo and livestock show and I thought it would be a lot of fun to check out. There is a ton to do there from live entertainment, kids events and livestock shows. Of course there’s horses and cowboys something that makes every rodeo complete.

Personally I’m all over bull riding, I don’t know why but that has always fascinated me. I think it’s got to be that I know it’s hard, but most of the time the cowboys make it look so easy. I would love to try it just once, but I don’t think I ever well. I know with my luck I will get thrown and break something important. I also wouldn’t mind checking out the chuck wagon races, I’ve never seen one before and I think it would be fun, since I am a race fan and all.

You can get tickets to concerts at the Houston Rodeo. This year there are some really amazing performers like Brad Paisly, The Jonus Brothers, Toby Keith, Selena Gomez and The Black Eyed Pees. I would love to see any of these performers as I have yet to check out one of their shows. Now I just need to get back to Texas so I can go, anyone up for a vacation?

Job Hunting Sucks

Holly — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:52:25 +0000

I have spent a lot of time looking for work, about 4 years to be exact. Yes I can’t find a job. A lot of it has to do with me being in school, haveing a degree and living in the middle of nowhere. Another problem is I just don’t have work history. I’ve always had trouble finding work. I thought having a college degree would help, but at this point is hasn’t.

I still have hope. I will be done with classes in less then 2 weeks, then I’ll have an open availability and hopefully will be able to find something. I would love to work in my field, but I do understand that may not happen. I’m also debateing about getting my masters degree so that I can teach interior design, I may end up doing that.

Get Well with Wellness Daily

Holly — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 14:53:04 +0000

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of wellnessdaily.com. All opinions are 100% mine.

A few weeks ago I found this really great website called www.wellnessdaily.com I was excited to see everything they offered and I really loved that I could get a $5 off coupon with them (only available to the first 25,000 people.) I’ve found the site very helpful in my weight loss and better health quest.

So far I have learned how diabetics should exercise and gotten help dealing with stress, something that I really need to watch as a diabetic. Recently I’ve had some major sugar issues and stress was a huge factor in this. I just can not handle stress like I could before I was diagnosed. Being able to find a site that has new ideas as to how to manage stress is awesome. This is a site I have bookmarked and visited almost every day since I found it. I really like it that much and it’s never a bad thing to have access to a lot of good health information.

I also love that they are on Twitter and right now there is a pretty cool Twitter contest where you could win a WellnessDaily.com prize package that includes:

Coupons for a year-long supply of Jennie-O Turkey Store product

A one-year gym membership, valued at $1,250.

Enter by following Wellness Daily on Twitter then twitter: “Enter to win $ towards a gym membership & JENNIE-O turkey products. Just follow @wellness_daily & RT this! http://bit.ly/tbd123."
