If you didn’t want to be Hallie when you were ten years old you’re fucking lying to yourself

I remember thinking that her metallic blue nail polish was really badass. 

When she comes in with the green satin varsity jacket? SO COOL.

I can actually recite this whole movie. Challenge me, I DARE YOU.

  • You will need to submit something every 2 days. If you do not visit often enough, please withdraw. If you are busy, please withdraw.

Last summer, I designed two tees and submitted them to a She’s the First design contest. BOTH of them were selected to be one of the seven winners, and She’s the First went on to sell them to fund girls’ education across the globe. 
This picture is with one of the sponsored girls with one of MY designs, and it’s so cool to see that something like that went from my brain and my computer screen all the way to India, and directly funded something so awesome. Here’s an excerpt from the article that was posted…
“Today I bring back an old friend of ours: Remember Jancy? Jancy is a senior at Shanti Bhavan and was chosen to judge the Cupcake T-Shirt Design contest this past Fall. Being the top art student at Shanti Bhavan made her well qualified for the task. Someday, she hopes to be a fashion designer and wants to take business courses in college so she can start her own fashion company. Given how savvy she already is, I wouldn’t be surprised if she were one day running her own fashion empire!
Well it took a while, but here Jancy is receiving her favorite t-shirt pick (designed by Kelsey Thorn, Skidmore College Senior) and tote bag (designed by Krista Firkins, Emerson College Senior).”
I don’t usually have a reason to post on here, but I thought this was really awesome. 
Happy Tuesday!

COVERGIRL is celebrating their 50th anniversary! I was lucky enough to get some of their new NatureLuxe foundation and lipgloss in the mail from BzzAgent a couple months ago and I love it. 

Like ‘em on facebook to win lots of great prizes :]

Internship day 4

I can’t believe I only started my internship last week. It seriously feels like it was WEEKS ago. All is going well so far, I’ve already finished a lot of projects and gotten free swag.

I decided I’m going to put updates on my internship here:

kristafirkins.wordpress.com

One of my bazillion blogs. Gah.

today is my first day of my internship!

And I promised myself I would blog about it before and after.

I came to the realization that I know nothing about internship etiquette. What do I wear? Can I wear jeans? Should I wear heels? Can I come in with a cup of coffee? Basically I don’t know how much to treat this like a real job.

I know a lot of these questions depend on the internship but they’re still things I wish I knew for today.

I’ll update later after I’m done. Wish me luck! :]

BLOG STRESS

i have too many blogs that i don’t update frequently enough.

this semester, i had to keep up a blog on wordpress for a journalism class. this just added to my confusion of what i should put on that blog, this blog, my somethingpretty blog, and my blog that is just my portfolio. 

BUT I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONES TO GET RID OF. they all serve a different purpose.

but, i am going to try harder to update them on a regular basis.

*sigh*
