My best friend Ghasak is always going to the nearest bathroom for a make-up/ hair check. They try to conform to the cookie cutter shape that’s been set out for them. As they try to fit into this shape of what’s beautiful and liked; men try and fit into the same shape that’s been created for them to be attracted toward.

My point is, Starbucks must have the atmosphere perfected! She spends roughly eight to ten hours a week there, and I swear that is what keeps her youthful and alive. I also have numerous friends ranging from the ages 19-35 and they too are Starbucks junkies. Starbucks has what it takes to be a stunning business all around. Not only do they prevail in customer service and seem to have the atmosphere perfected to the tee, they continue to create new ideas to bring in revenue.

I went through the faux hawk, the shag, and the swoop in my front of my head.

I have a genuine interest in this field as when I was growing up I looked after my Nan who was heavily disabled. This is where I got a lot of satisfaction in caring as I could see my work generally making a difference to someone’s life. My first professional job in the care and nursing industry was as a Nursing Auxillary at the local General Hospital. I completed some basic training which I enjoyed immensely and ended up being placed onto the orthopedic ward. Car crash victims and knee and hip replacement patients were now part of my daily routine, As my time there grew I was invited to attend theatre a couple of times which boosted my skills and knowledge even more.
