Yesterday I got to experience my dream job. A local school held a wellness day for their teachers (it included nutrition, fitness, makeup sessions, etc.) and I was hired to present on dressing well. I shared tips for answering the most basic question "what do I put on my body each morning?" and gave practical advice for shopping on a budget and coming up with outfits that work in everyday life. As a kid, I dreamed of having a book and doing seminars based on that book. I always imagined that I would be in my 30's or 40's before I accomplished that goal, but yesterday felt like I got a little glimpse of what that could be like and I loved every minute of it! As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
