Temptalia Asks You - What do you do to fill up your days?

What do you do to fill up your days? Beauty is fun and all, but what is everyone doing for their days (or nights)? Are you a full-time career woman, devoted mom, studious student (giggle)?

Me? Temptalia is like a full time job where you don’t get paid, but you put in all the effort and energy for it. I’m also a full-time law student! I used to part-time work as a transcriptionist, but I just don’t have enough time to all that. I’m not Wonder Woman, unfortunately.

Full-time law student hm? Good for you, girl! What kind of law are you going into?

I work full-time at a large financial company handling investor relations on the secondary market for residential loan products. Its really slow right now, so I have lots of internet time… I want to go back to school, but I’m trying to decide what for.

Good for you! Smart girl 🙂

Well, I’m almost 24… you’d think I’d at least have an idea by now! But that’s hardly the case… I definitely know what I DON’T want to do so I guess that’s a good thing 🙂 There are a few things I am interested in, one being criminology, so I’m looking it to that at the moment.

I work part-time as a copywriter. The rest of my time, I spend on completing my degree (financial management), the internet, PS2 and my collection of adopted strays. Oh, and I mess around with cosmetics as well 😉

Tonee Avatar

The official figure is four cats and two dogs 😉 But I feed all the strays who roam around the neighborhood and eventually adopt the ones that decide to stay.

I am a studious student in a Psychology/Sociology degree! When I’m not frantically typing essays (like I am now lol) I love playing Warcraft. I also tried having a part time job, but couldn’t do that and school without burning out.

I’m a nursing student. Taking exams, doing clinicals and studying (usually only a few days before exams, haha) is what takes up my time. I also work part-time. I’m a broker for a List Brokerage company. I buy/sell/trade lists for companies to use for their advertisements.

During my down time, I like to browse beauty blogs. Your reviews are awesome and makes me not so clueless when approaching a counter filled with endless products! Also, I’m an xbox 360 fanatic. Halo 3 & Gears of War are my favorite (I dig shooter games). I’m a nursing student that loves makeup AND video games (LOL).

I manage a pizza store full time, for a New Zealand company called Hell. It’s ok for now, but I really want to get qualifications in make up artistry so I can finally do something I want with my life!

A big ol’ fat notn’ is what I do 🙂 LOL

After spending three years working 60 hour weeks (I worked in politics), going to school full time (BS in business management) and being a single mom I QUIT! Yep thats right I decided that my mental health, and son, is more important than work or school. So I quit my job and dropped out of school a semester before graduation. I am slowly returning to school BUT I will never go back to work for someone else. Its self employment or nothing at all. Luckily my SO does well so I no longer need to work. I now spend my days taking sewing classes and helping fundraise for my sons school, its private school so fundraising is actually a pretty involved job. Growing up I always knew I wanted to work in politics, I did and found that after several years I grew to hate it. Currently I am trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up :)LOL 🙂 since the first plan wasn’t right for me.

Oh yea and I enjoy playing around with make-up 🙂

If you make better choices than I did I am sure you will have many wonderful years making a difference in the world and being the changes in the world you want to see. Don’t try and find the most difficult causes or parties thinking thats where you can make the biggest difference…you likely will just end up feeling like your fighting a never ending battle and after a while the battle scars start to wear you down. Also develop a thick skin if you end up working in a good old boys club, expect to be treated like a “silly girl” and roll with it until you get a chance to prove yourself and then really knock their socks off with your ability to do the job. I wish you nothing but luck, I can still close my eyes and feel the first time I was responsible for a bill passing and its up there in amazing moments along side the birth of my son.
