Lovely Lemons

(Take that title how you want to, haha)

Hi friends Smile

Howโ€™s your day going?? Hope youโ€™re having an amazing Saturday.

Itโ€™s my last day at work today, so I have to say โ€œsee ya laterโ€ to some lovely lemons.

lulu2

I am so, so grateful that I got the chance to work with such talented, uplifting and motivational girls (and dudes). Iโ€™ve grown a lot since I started at lulu, started to really get ahold of what I will make happen in life, and am crossing my fingers to transfer when I move- I have a second interview when I get there. (The whole โ€œwhy Iโ€™m movingโ€ story will go up Tuesday morning, and yes, Iโ€™m going to Tucson)

So as sad as I am to say โ€œsee ya laterโ€, Iโ€™m so thankful for the experience and all of the friendships I created Open-mouthed smile

Last day of work food:

snacks

Breakfast cookie dough cereal + a Sun Warrior shake (promo was delayed until early this week- sorry guys, I canโ€™t wait to order some too!)

+ THESE

collard

Raw collard wraps from Cafรฉ 118. Erinโ€™s looked so good last night that I ordered some to-go to take to work today, since Iโ€™m not able to cook right now.

collard (2)

They were REDONK. Crunchy, spicy, sweet, lovely. Just like the ones we had at 105degrees in Oklahoma (where I went to raw culinary school).

This morningโ€™s workout was pretty chill- I read People Style Watch on the elliptical for 45 minutes. It was a good way to wake up and clear my mind- thereโ€™s a lot to do this weekend!

Hope you guys have an awesome Saturday and Iโ€™ll see ya soon <3

xoxo,

Gina

    Hope everything is ok! Moving around so much is tough, but you’re a tough cookie, too ๐Ÿ™‚

    I worked at the Seattle Mariner’s Team Store which would get SO overwhelming during gamedays. There wasn’t enough room in the store to walk!

    Those wraps looks amazing! I (think) I’m happy to say that I have never worked retail! I LOVEEE shopping though, so maybe I’d like working retail though? ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. Maren on December 5, 2010 at 1:59 am

    Good luck on your next interview!!! I am working the holidays at Pier 1 and I just love everyone I work with! Retail can be crazy hours, but I served for so long, I’m used to the late nights! Can’t wait to read all about your move!

  8. Steffi on December 5, 2010 at 6:50 am

    Good luck on the move. Love reading your blog! Hope when you move back here to AZ, you do blogger reader meet up here in PHX. A Seasons 52 just opened up at the Biltmore and haven’t been yet!!!! ๐Ÿ™‚ And maybe a HOT yoga sesh at SUMITS YOGA.

    • Fitnessista on December 5, 2010 at 9:08 am

      count me in! ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. christina on December 5, 2010 at 6:56 am

    Can you give please some tips for interviewing/working at Lulu? Ive had 2 interviews, a group and then the single and didnt get the job! So i wondering what I could do to ACE my next interview there!

    Thank you Gina!

    • Fitnessista on December 5, 2010 at 9:08 am

      hey girl,
      it’s interesting because with lulu interview, it’s not about what you say or do, it’s who you are. so if you’re genuine and transparent, passionate and goal-oriented, it will help you get the job ๐Ÿ™‚

  10. Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine on December 5, 2010 at 7:48 am

    Good luck with the Tucson interview- I’m sure you’ll rock it ๐Ÿ™‚ I’ve never worked retail…I was a waitress/hostess instead. Don’t know why I thought cleaning food off the floor was better than folding clothes!

  11. Melissa @ Vegan CacaoBee on December 5, 2010 at 8:36 am

    Good luck with the job interview! Working at lulu looks like a blast ๐Ÿ™‚ They are lucky to have you on their team. The only retail I ever worked was at Lucy. I spent the rest of my pre-nursing days scooping ice cream + gelato. Anyway, good luck with the big move! If you need anything, know that you have a fellow blogger (a pretty new one) in town.

    • Fitnessista on December 5, 2010 at 9:07 am

      whoo hoo!

  12. Fancy on December 5, 2010 at 8:46 am

    I worked at Coach for a summer and LOVED it! So much fun ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Fitnessista on December 5, 2010 at 9:07 am

      coach would be amazing to work for!

  13. Carla on December 5, 2010 at 10:08 am

    I worked at Abercrombie and dillards also! lol
    and when all my kids get old enough to all be in school, and I can actually HAVE a job outside of them, I would love to work at lulu!

    I would totally be in for a bloger/reader meetup here in AZ! A friend of mine teaches Hot yoga at SUMIT in gilbert ๐Ÿ™‚

  14. Brittany (Eating Bird Food) on December 5, 2010 at 12:29 pm

    We talked about this, but I worked at Abercrombie and Fitch as well. I’ve also worked at Pacific Sunwear and Coldstone Creamery. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Best of luck with your second interview and move.

    I have heard that Lulu is a wonderful company to work for.
