Inside Athleta's Exclusive Open House!!

Hey guys!! As many of you may know, Athleta is opening several new stores throughout the US.  If you do not know, Athleta is an athletic wear based store. However, they do make some regular clothing as well and all of their athletic wear is cute and does not have the typical "work out" look to it. This past week, the local branch around me had its grand opening and I was one of the lucky customers who was invited to take a first look!! I have never been invited to any of these type of events before, but it was very exciting and SO much fun!! Although the event was invite only, there was a pretty large crowed at my store (mainly mother's and daughters). My mom, sister and I shop at Athleta all the time and we love their cloths so we deff made it a point to head on out to the grand opening when we received out invitation. I decided to take a few pictures while I was inside of the store so I could give you guys a bit of a look into the event! I also have a picture of the shi...

Undercover Boss: Lohmans

There is no better way for a boss to get a look at how the different branches of his franchise are operating,  then by  going in undercover. This week, Steve, the boss of Lohmans headed into his stores to get the inside scoop. The cameras followed him as he went under the guise of Henry and talked to his employees as a prospective employee. This allowed him to see his employees in action, teaching a new worker as they would to any regular person. He also got to see them interact with the clients. While in some of the stores, he found many employees who were outstanding, and a few who were struggling yet possessed good qualities. Steve was able to find out about the hardships each employee and give then monetary assistance to help them over their rough periods. In addition, he was able to implement new aspects to improve the stores based off of the  employees ideas and complaints. What Steve was able to accomplish for his business and for the lives was absolutely incredib...

Homecoming Horribles: Makeup

Previously on Homecoming Horribles: I talked about dresses to wear, and not to wear. Hey guys!! Today I am going to talk about a few makeup options for homecoming as well as some products that I am loving! I also just want to start off by saying that Homecoming does not mean break out the Halloween makeup. You can wear a lot of makeup or do a smokey eye without wearing bright, overdone colors. With that said, let's get into the option and products!! Standard Smokey Eye: This is always my go-to option for Homecoming. Because you are using blacks and whites, it should match just about any dress. The trick to this look, is to put white on the lid with black on the outer corner and work it into the crease. This looks very easy to over due. Therefore, I think that it is very important to invest in a good blending brush! The one I use is by Sonia Kashuk. Personally, I think that this brand is just as good as the high end brands for brushes. I buy all of my brushes from that brand be...
