Inspiration to write a post to high school graduates came to me through various people. Jaimee Dorris, MS Congeniality, first inspired me with her video “How to Get A Real Job: A Note to College Graduates“. The second was my State Senator who I had the pleasure to hear speak. He talked about the new project funded in our county to create a technical college. Then, my friend Chad Tycer who teaches welding posted a picture of his first class to graduate. Together these people inspired me to write a letter to high school graduates, scratch that junior high students. They start thinking of the future early, at least I know my nephew is in 6th grade and my brother is already talking about applying for scholarships.

Skincare is an important part of my routine. Since I was a child my grandma has harped on the importance of washing my face but also MOISTURIZING. Throughout my childhood, I washed but didn’t moisturize as much as I should have. Then my senior year of high school I started working at Victoria Secrets and I learned a lot about moisturizing my skin while layering it with fragrance. Sometimes taking two different fragrances to make a new one.
