FREEBIES!

Bet that caught your eye didn't it! Who doesn't love freebies are mahhhhd! I mean, it's free! Where can you go wrong?! But yeah the last two days I've managed to cop myself some freebies. They're nothing major or great but I'm so easily pleased!
Yesterday in Oxford street they were giving out some fruit bars called 'nakd' and the leaflet said 'get your smoosh on'. Its a snack bar of just pure fruits and nuts 'smooshed' together! Healthy stuff! The package was nice just like any fruit snack bar except it was pretty soft, opened the package and the bar itself looked like poop! literally, them fake poop you' use for pranks. Curiosity got the best of me and I went for it anywyas..YUM! It was really nice! Or maybe because I was hungry that it tasted better than it actually is. 




Later on I went past a Millies Cookies and remembered my cousin told me about a O2 priority moment where you can receive 4 free cookies! Yep, 4! Winning! Slight embarrassment when my 3G wasn't working for a bit >< but I made sure we got them cookies in the end! Also...went into The Body Shop and bought 'tea tree night lotion' that will hopefully leave me free from blemishes and spots. Got 30% off with thanks to O2! I have been hearing a lot of good reviews on 'tea tree' products so lets hope this does miracles on a face like mine! 



Today I went to some make up convention 'SMASHBOX' I am absolutely clueless when it comes to make up..only just learnt what a primer is and till don't know what bb cream is =/ Anyway they were giving away goody bags yayyy..inside they had lip gloss, primer, highlight pen, compact mirror and they also gave a balloon where you had to pop it and mascara will fall out. They were constantly giving out coconut juice (vita coco I think it was called) and crisps. The exhibition was quite awkward at first because I didn't know how it went or what was happening but you basically go in and que up if you wanted your hair done or have a face make over for free, waited ages for ours but then they had to close before we even got seen to! Sadness. But they said they will make it up to us and send us more goodies! Which worked out because it was raining outside so our hair would have been ruined anyway.



Tomorrow, I'm planning on getting my free speaker from O2 as their 'thank you' after the whole system was down for a day some time ago. But it might have to wait seeing as the new iphone5 has come out and it's most likely it will be crazy packed!
If you're on O2 and still have not downloaded this app. You're missing out! Just search 'O2 Priority Moments' and boom! freebies and exclusive discounts! WINNING!

Stage 5.

All my life I've just followed procedures. The 'normal' route you'd take in life. Here's the breakdown of how it normally goes;
  1.  Primary school
  2. Secondary school
  3. College
  4. Uni
  5. Work
  6. Marriage
  7. Kids
  8. Life
Yep, this seems to be the correct order of life and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one out here that's gone through this (FYI I'm on stage 5). 

STAGE 5: This has got to be the most challenging and depressing stage. Mainly because I have just come out of uni with no experience within the field which I want to go into..which I'm not even sure what the field is at the moment :S Maybe I think I want to go into marketing because I just spent 3 years learning the darn thing.


I can't even decide on what career path I want to take, where I want to go or what I want to do. And since I can't answer these questions just yet, what exactly should I be applying for? Most of the desirable jobs I have come across has required years of experience and to top it off, they place a WHOLE lot of jargon on the job description! Which is a major turn off..I'm pretty sure that I am, as well as anyone else is, more than capable to carry out the duties with the correct training and within time. They just dress it all up for no reason; paper work turns in 'administration'.


Searching endlessly for jobs which you feel suits your skills best and then when you finally come across something..the application form. A minimum of 2 sided A4 paper which asks you, 'Why do you want to apply for this role'. Seriously? Are you really that bothered to read through X amount of 'Because I am passionate..' type answers? I wonder if I was to fill out an application with clear cut honest answers like, 'because I know I'm capable and the money looks decent so give me a chance, please?' Someone would appreciate the honesty and since they want the application to stand out, I'm pretty sure that'll stick out like a sore thumb!


And if the application form wasn't a drag enough, here comes the interview. The moment where you put on this front to convince the other person you're the best there is out there. No pressure. And in some cases that's just the beginning..you pass that, you'll be on to the 2nd interview out of 4. Biatchhh don't waste my time to be telling me I ain't good enough after the third stage! Getting my hopes up and all that anticipation for what? To be let down ¬¬ And back to square one!


This is actually becoming a depressing post haha! But I just wanted to show how long, tiring andemotivating job hunting can be! Employers need to give us folks a chance! 


There are more than enough jobs out there available and one of them is waiting for yo name!!
TO ALL GRADUATES ANYONE CURRENTLY JOB HUNTING..DO. NOT. GIVE. UP!!
