Hey Nice Girls!
I’m lying in bed on a Saturday night… I know I’m lame and I decided to share a challenge with you. While I was in Missouri in February my advisor challenged my group to smile at 20 people a day. So I thought to myself… 20 people, 20 smiles, I can do that no problem! Of course there was a catch to this challenge but I did not realize the catch until I started smiling at people.
The catch is not everyone acknowledges you or your smile. Some people look at you and when you smile they quickly look away, look down at the ground or pretend they never saw you. The first few times people ignored me and my smile I was crushed. I couldn’t believe people were doing that. Well this made the challenge even better. I made it my goal to make sure I was able to make people smile that day. You learn from the first few snubs and keep on smiling. It was a lot of fun and it made me feel good doing it.
My proposal to you is to SMILE at everyone. Make it your personal goal to smile at 20 people a day. If it’s a good day, smile at more than 20 people.
A smile never hurt anyone. It will only make your day and the other person’s day a lot better. What do you have to lose? Give it a shot and leave me a comment about how it went!
Start smiling! And remember, nice girls always finish first!

Small Gesture. Big Heart.
Hey Nice Girls!
I apologize for being MIA for the past few months. This spring semester was a crazy one. No worries though I am back and ready to blog the summer away. I plan on blogging about where I’ve been and what I’ve been up too lately but yesterday I witnessed something and I think it deserves a blog post.
Today while I was at work there was a blind man walking on the road in front of the store. He was walking in circles, up one side of the street and then down the other. Out of nowhere it started to rain. It was pouring shoes and purses (cats and dogs! I thought it was clever). My heart melted for this guy. I knew I had to do something but as soon as my boss, co-worker and I were ready to go help the man, an SUV pulls up next to the man and offers him a ride. The women pulled off with the man in the car to take him home. I could not believe my eyes. There are not many people in this world today that would have stopped to help that man but kudos to the lady that did.
You should always remember to help others because you never know when you will need a hand. Be polite, be caring, be loving, be thoughtful, be respectful and most of all be helpful. There is nothing wrong with lending a helping hand or doing a good deed that will go unnoticed.
There are more blogs to come. I just didn’t have the heart to let this good deed go unnoticed. Comment with blog requests and ideas! I’m going to try and get to as many of them as I can.
Remember, nice girls always finish first.

Social Networking
Hey Nice Girls.
What started out as a great way to socialize with friends is fast becoming a way to bully and harass people. After noticing a few inappropriate statuses today I think it is time to talk about the correct way to use Facebook. I use Facebook to keep in touch with friends, share what is going on in my life, and stay current with my favorite stores and celebrities. Facebook should not be used to threaten, bully, or hurt others.
Most of my readers are upperclassmen in high school to college. Remember future employers have the ability to check and monitor your Facebook. If you would not open your Facebook to your grandmother and let her read everything on your wall, it probably should not be on there.
When applying for a job, you could have a stellar interview, a BOMB.Com resume and fabulous references, but your Facebook could hurt your chances at a job. This is just a friendly reminder to be careful of the things you are posting on your wall, the pictures you are posting and the comments your friends are leaving. Be responsible. You control your actions and your future.
Please keep all of this in mind when chatting away on Facebook or even on Twitter. These sites are places to socialize and have fun. It’s okay to blow off some steam with a status post every now and then but it is never okay to threaten someone.
Send blog requests my way. I will try to get to as many of them as I can. I hope you are having a great week. And remember, nice girls always finish first.
