I was having conversations with someone the other day and we were talking about my first impression of him when I first joined the company. On my first day, I was walking with my colleague, and from afar she goes, "That's Derek, from IT, he's weird." As I walked past him I said hello is the most upbeat tone I could and I got nothing in return.
I get it, not everyone is having the best day, every day, but my first thought was that I will never call him if I have an IT problem, and I didn't. Until I got to know him better.
When we were talking it through, he explained that he was having the worst day and that he didn't care what his first impression was.
To me, first impressions are SO CRITICAL to the relationships you form.
If you're starting a new job, going for an interview, first date, whatever it may be, you have ONE change to make a good impression.
What does this even mean?
This means putting on your best pair of underwear.
This means wearing shoes you can actually walk in.
This means smiling like you just got laid.
It's not about being something that you're not, but it's about understanding that you can't take these moments back.

Mom's Day Gift Guide
Mom's Day is coming up in case you haven't seen the Hallmark and jewelry commercials weaseling their way in to your TV routine. This year it falls on Sunday, May 8th and I've got some ideas for personal gifts to give Mom.
1| Personalized Stationary
Never heard of Minted...head on over there right this minute to order personalized stationary, address labels or notes for Mom. They also had beautiful art to peruse through too!
2| Succulents
Maybe it's just me but I feel like succulents are #trending (no?). I've become obsessed in having my own little family of succulents planted in my house and I think Mom would enjoy them too. They are relatively affordable and super easy to care for.
3| Bella Candles from Target
Every time I am in Target, I find myself drawn to these candles! They not only smell amazing but the tin designs are so friggin cute!
4| Blue Apron
Give Mom a break having to figure out what to make for dinner. You can order the plan as a gift for someone in one week, two week or four week intervals.
5| Sephora Favorites Deluxe Perfume Sampler
The Sephora Favorites samplers make great gifts no matter what event but the perfume samples screams Mom! Give her the chance to find a new scent! She'll have nine different ones to chose from and the best part, if she brings the scent certificate included with the sampler to a Sephora store, she can redeem her favorite scent in a full size bottle at no extra charge!
Happy Shopping Bosses!
