Back To Work

Tomorrow I go back to working 4 days a week and I have mixed emotions about this. I am quite excited because I have felt quite disconnected from people lately, but I am like the shyest person there is, which is weird because I am not that shy, anyway... I also have a few personal events coming up and it makes me nervous thinking about them. My job is being a waitress, and I have to say it's not the most glamorous job in the world, but its a starting point! I am very conscious at work of the fact that there isn't much/any time to even care about what I look like, but I wear probably too much make up for my job. Anyway, I am going to try and be a more confident person at work.


My make up essentials will probably just be a powder, preferably my Rimmel Stay Matte one in 'Transparent', number 001, along with a brush as I can just touch this up on my break. I will be wearing my Rimmel 'Wake Me Up' foundation to give me a radiant glow to make me look awake and I will pair this with my Avon Glow pearls as this will also, hopefully, make me look more glowy and awake. I will do the same as always with my eyes, just leaving out the black eyeliner on my waterline and replacing it with the Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliner in 'Nude', number 005. I think this will look more appropriate for the Spring/Summer months. I will take my Maybelline baby lips balm just in case I feel like I need it! As Easter is coming up I'll probably wear something festive in my hair, but I don't know if I am even allowed to do that, but we can get past that. There isn't really much going for me in a job like mine, so I will do the best I can to try and look presentable??


My uniform is obviously flattering?! I have a brown apron that is way too big for me, so I do have to adjust it when I put it on. I wear this over my white blouse and black skirt, which looks as professional as it can, but comfort is the most important thing. Talking of comfort, I need to look after my feet at work as I am on my feet for around 7 hours, so I picked some really comfy but stylish shoes to wear and they are really stable and suitable and cute and I like to style them with black socks with the frills at the top, even though no one really cares what my feet look like at work, but still (I couldn't find my black ones, so I improvised with some navy ones in the picture)... Obviously I will be wearing my name badge, so people know who I am and I will need a pen, which I don't actually have, so I will have to raid through some drawers to find one.


I will also have handbag essentials such as hand sanitizer, my phone, a mirror and maybe a  tester perfume, even though I won't be able to put it on at any time during the day.. so I will just use a strong one in the morning.  

I think I am all prepared to go back to work and it will get me socialising again.
