Pic from "moving" Google search

Hello everyone! I've decided to streamline my projects and work everything off of the same website. Therefore, this blog is moving to my new website! Please continue to follow me there! I plan on having everything up by Monday!

I'm starting a new job on Monday with the United Way!

I'm so excited to take on this new experience.
It will be my first job outside of the service industry EVER!
I have no idea what to expect, no clue if I'm qualified, and no idea if I can be successful.
So I guess you can say I'm also nervous about it too.
Every job I've ever had I've been able to walk into with the utmost confidence.
I've always had this "I can take on anything" attitude.
While that feeling is still there to some degree, I'm humbled by the fact that working for a nonprofit will mean that my performance directly affects the livelihood of thousands of people.
It's no longer about pleasing a customer who wants an
iced enorme cappuccino (barista's and coffee lovers, you know what I mean),
or who wants to know what time the 3 o'clock parade is (read it carefully if you didn't get it),
or the employee who spends an hour off the commission based sales floor crying that another sales person "stole" a $70 sale (at 6.75% commission that is $4.73).

Now, don't get me wrong... working in the service industry for 12 years taught me so much!
I'm grateful for all of the lessons learned, character building, 
and well for being employed when so many were not.
However, this next chapter in my life is going to be completely different.
It's about making sure that thousands of people who have fallen on hard times have a place to sleep, food to eat, and education to pick themselves up and move past this period of their life.

This will by far be my greatest adventure to date.
Wish me luck!

Calling All Gen Y (ish) Females!

Okay ladies, I need your help with a project I'm working on. If you could please comment here or on facebook with your thoughts I'd REALLY appreciate it!

1. My boyfriend is of the opinion that the term "millennial" is derogatory. I disagree.
I want to call a project targeted at females who were born from the early
 80's to the mid 90's "MilleniGals."
What do you think?

2. Do you still use a day planner?

3. Would you use a day planner if you could customize it?

4. Would you find a day planner as a one stop shop for all things
 diet, fitness, craft, and beauty a godsend or overwhelming?

Again, I'm looking for honest feedback from my target audience so don't be shy!!

Creamy Pasta... Maybe

This week's posts will feature recipes from a menu 
I just created for a client who wants to 
lose weight and stay gluten free. 

Note:
I am a certified weight loss coach, not a dietitian or nutritionist. 
You should consult a doctor before changing your diet. 

The daily calorie intake goal for said client is 1200. Assuming you aren’t overly concerned with how much you spend on groceries, this should not be difficult because... I’m taking a Weight Watchers approach to fruits and veggies. This means that if you eat a fruit or veggie, it counts as 0 calories!! Fill up on them!! :-)
I recommend you start each day with a green juice or smoothie to get your metabolism flowing.
