These photos are of me on the phone with my regional manager as she was making me the offer; the timing happened as I was about to leave for the day, so my whole team was around to watch and congratulate me! I had waited for that day for a long time, so I totally … Continue reading
It happened! I had my interview today for an upcoming role within lululemon. Fingers crossed, but I’m hopeful for a new challenge soon. That said, work has been so harmonious lately, and I’m worried about losing that. And missing my current team, whom I have worked so hard to bond with. 😔 I get frustrated … Continue reading
It’s here. It is over. This is Day 100; I have written here every single day for one hundred days. I can’t believe it. I feel fulfilled, alive, and sad. (I also still haven’t decided if I’m breaking up with the Oxford comma, or not.) Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma? –Vampire Weekend … Continue reading
Black Friday never ceases to amaze me. I personally don’t have the stomach for it, from a consumer’s perspective. I remember very clearly a few years ago, circling the parking lot of the mall where I now work, and eventually giving up after thirty minutes looking for a spot and not finding anything. There is … Continue reading
Sometimes, after so many years of working at lululemon, I can trick myself into thinking I’m an extrovert. I have come a long way in the years since I started there. Prior to my lululemon life, I would regularly need hours each day of total silence, so I could read, write, and recharge my … Continue reading
Today, I led some of our new hires at work through writing their vision and setting goals. Which is my favorite thing to do, like, ever. You take a group of people who have, up until that point, usually had crappy jobs, and teach them all about stretchy pants and education and how to connect … Continue reading
I got a comment yesterday asking me about my job, what a typical day is like at lululemon, and how I knew it was the right career for me. Well, I can start out by saying that I didn’t know it was the right job for me, at all! I applied at lululemon because I … Continue reading
I can’t believe it’s already been a week since I went to Purpose & Practice. What is P&P? Well, it’s a personal development retreat/yoga + meditation experience/purpose-definining, persona-changing, uplifting weekend of connection. Put on by lululemon, including airfare, food, and accommodations. For free. I’ve been working for lululemon for six years and I am still … Continue reading
I love the above quote because it is true. It’s all the advice I read when I was struggling, and in the end, it was the only thing that worked. Trying to manifest things back failed. Making a love altar in the northeast corner of my apartment failed. Even crying for weeks in a therapist’s office … Continue reading
I’ll unashamedly admit that when I heard the term “babymoon” for the first time, I thought it was really dumb. I think we try to celebrate EVERYTHING in our culture sometimes (“First trip to the movies as an engaged couple!” is an actual Instagram post I saw a couple of weeks ago) and sometimes, I … Continue reading
