Tales of The Unemployed- What's A Girl To Do?

This realization that I have lost my job is slowly starting to sink in. I feel like one of those divorced NBA Housewives that actually had a pre-nup. I know, I know… #dramatic_much.  But I do feel like I was accustomed to a certain status of living and suddenly I’m back in the poor house. Ok, I’ll cease with the melodrama.

I know this situation is only temporary and I will continue my pursuit towards greatness. And I know God did this for a reason, and although I may not understand it, I know he will bring me through it. Yup, that’s called Faith. Believe it or not I actually have a lot of it; it just gets hidden by my pessimism at times.

Although the majority of my day is filled with job searching, I know I must find other things to do. I’ve decided that I really want to do all those things I wasn’t able to do while I was employed and unhappy.  Like read what I want to read. Learn something new. Blog. Clip Coupons. Cook. Exercise. Work on my vision. Or better yet discover my vision.

I figure I better do what I need to right now because the next endeavor I take on in life will be my career; it will be what drives me. I’ve been praying and asking God to show me what my calling is. It’s a shame but I’ve spent 20 odd years of my life obtaining several degrees, amassing tons of debt, and just “being” yet I still don’t know what that girl is in the mirror is supposed to be doing. #No_Bueno at all.

It’s Day 2 of Tales of the Unemployed and I’m still job-less but I’m far from hopeless. I view this as a period of time that will provide an opportunity for personal growth and maturity. I’m a firm believer that although I’m currently in a mess, in the end I’ll be given a message.

Thinking A Thought.....

So I was just thinking today and recalling some of my 2011 activities and J. Scott came to mind. Jill Scott. Miss Jill. No matter what you call her she is simply lovely. There is nothing bad that I could ever say about Ms. Scott. She is truly a gem. And she rocks curvy so well. I was able to see her in concert this summer in Dallas and she’s definitely a true performer. In my opinion, she embodies all that is woman and represents the curvy divas so well. She's truly an icon and her music speaks to my soul. When you listen to Jill you know what’s been through, what she’s going through and what she’s going to do.  She exudes confidence to the highest level.

Stylewise -I find her intriguing. She never ceases to amaze me whether it be a bold print, a statement hat or alluring sunglasses. She's a curvy diva that personifies the definition of a lady. Her style is daring, bold, and at times breathtaking. The confidence that is apparent in her manner of dress is also evoked in her music. When you listen to Jill you know that she's experienced some things in her life but she's never lost her smile. Thanks Jill for representing curvy divas everywhere!

Fa La La La Gala.......

NEWS FLASH: Yes, I wear wigs and to be quite honest I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. In an instant, I can be transformed from sexy geek to sassy and chic.  I have no qualms about wearing them. Short or long all that matters is that you ROCK what you got. Most people tend to be self conscious when they wear wigs and I admit I was when I initially began wearing them years ago. But now I just work with it until it looks its best (I become ONE with the wig..he he he) .

But seriously I am absolutely in love with wigs, I started wearing them when I began transitioning to natural hair. My natural hair is long but I haven’t figured out what to do with it yet (Yup, three years later…Still No Clue…) so in the mean time I will continue to wear wigs until I become one with my natural hair.

The wig currently on my fave list is: Freetress Equal Wig- Gala. I ordered this wig on www.divatress.com because I was looking for a new look. For a while now I have been rocking a curly wig (photos  to come) but I liked Trina’s look and wanted to create a similar style.

I am currently in severe like with the Gala wig. I love the feel of it as well as the body and shine. It moves with ease. It’s a futura wig so it’s even better because it’s curling iron safe. I only paid 19.95 for it and the shipping was fast. This is the first time I've ordered from this company and I was pleasantly impressed.

When I wore this wig it got loads of compliments and no one was able to tell it wasn’t my own . (Well it is mine, I paid for it!) Anywho on a 10 point scale, this wig gets a 9.5. It doesn’t tangle easily and the only thing I did not like about it is that it didn’t have clips/combs. I generally like to have added security with my wigs and I’ve learned that the combs prevent shifting and any movement but hair pins will suffice.

In my opinion, this isn’t the type of wig you wear on a daily basis. But if you want to feel like a diva or simply fabulous then this wig would be the best choice. It’s more of a night on the town type of wig. Definitely something you can put your freakum dress on with and impress your male suitors with.  I'll likely order another one of these in a different color just to keep it saucy!

Disclosure: I wasn't paid for this post. Nor did I receive a complimentary wig. These are simply my honest opinions.
