Selling Yourself

Perhaps it’s time to admit it–neither of the Forever22-er’s are writing from our beloved Brooklyn any longer. We’ve both taken advantage of the post-college, pre-everything else’s sense of freedom and set off on our own adventures. I’ve been wanting to write here for a while now, but moving to a different country, finding an apartment, and starting a new job, all in the French I haven’t used since graduation, has been stressful and hectic to say the least.

But now that I’m feeling more settled and in the midst of one of my seven weeks of paid vacation (yay France), I thought I would finally get out an entry. Even though I’m so far away from where I wrote before, I think some of the challenges I’m facing here (tiny apartment, tiny salary) are still applicable to the blog. I may be working with Euros, but we’ve still got a lot in common.

The Miracle Hot Cereal

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day (those who eat it have more energy and a healthier diet overall), but there are some mornings when 15 extra minutes of sleep trumps any toast related intentions. While there’s always stopping for breakfast on the way to work, fast food options are less than healthy and surprisingly expensive. Breakfast sandwiches start to add up!

Recently I’ve found the solution to the breakfast problem. Its name is instant oatmeal and (poor thing) it lives in my office.
