Lusting: FEED USA

Target is currently collaborating with FEED USA (a smaller branch of FEED Projects), an organization founded by Laura Bush and Ellen Gustafson in 2007. FEED's mission is to create good products that help feed the world. When you buy a FEED product at Target (or on their website), you'll help provide a meal to children and families across America. Each item is equivalent to a certain number of meals. 

It started with the FEED burlap tote, which was designed to help the United Nations World Food Program and help feed children around the world. Now FEED has expanded, partnering with UNICEF, the (RED) Campaign, and has started a non-profit called the FEED Foundation. Not only has FEED itself expanded, but it's offering a whole line of useful items (clothing, jewelry, bags, and home decor). 

Now with FEED USA at Target, you can do good and look good! I can't wait to stop by my local Target and buy something that will help feed hungry children in America. I'm particularly loving those water bottles and bike helmet. Check out the rest of FEED USA's products.

P.S. -- I wasn't compensated to post about this collaboration, 

I just agree with FEED's mission and wanted to share the love.

Is It Wrong to Have Job Standards?

Soon I'm going to start looking for a full-time job. It's scary and real and I'm nervous about making the jump from a student to an actual adult who works.

 

Although I'm anxious to send my resume around and go to job interviews (eek!), I'm excited to have a job that I look forward to going to everyday (even if I have to have one or two crummy jobs first). I would love to work in publishing because the idea of helping create books would be like a dream come true for me, though I'm unsure what job I want to do. Of course, my first job might not be in publishing and that's okay.

 

But I don't want to take just any job.

 

Since I've been working at Triboro, a manufacturing company (aka an office job), for five years I would like to continue working in an office setting. This is probably a terrible thing to say, but I would feel like I was going "backwards" by going from an office job to working retail. There is absolutely nothing wrong with working retail at all. Most of my friends have done it and a few still do, but I don't think it's for me (unless it was my own business or storefront).

 

I guess what I'm saying is that now that I've worked in an office, I have work standards. To put it nicely, I'm a job snob. Along with those standards for myself comes money standards. I wouldn't want to go to a job where I make less than I do now.

 

Do you think it's wrong to have job standards and not want to go "backwards" work-wise?

My Writing: Stagnant {Blank Verse Poem}

After tomorrow, it's spring break! Unfortunately for me (but fortunately for my bank account), I'll be working most of the week. I'm sitting at the front desk and answering phones while the receptionist (who's also my mom) is on vacation, so really she's getting more of a vacation than I am.

Stagnant

You said a tiger cannot change its stripes,

but I am not who I was yesterday

and tomorrow I will not be the same

as who I am today. What is so wrong

about change? Why is it a dirty word?

Change leaves a bad taste in your mouth; to me

it tastes like candy. I don’t want to be

who I am today in twenty years’ time.

You are scared, but you forget I am too.

You forget that sometimes it is not change

it is growth. But still, still you are stagnant.

You can stay a mirror image of you,

but I will not remain identical.

I’ll become better every single day.

Happy Wednesday!

Blog Title

Hey guys!

So you may have noticed the Sincerely, Sara signatures at the bottom of my posts lately. Well that's because I've been thinking of changing my blog name. Although I really like Build Castles in Air, I've been considering switching it to Sincerely, Sara.

I named my blog Build Castles in Air because I wanted this blog to be mostly about my thoughts. After all the title means "lost in thought." But I think my blog is about so much more than that. It's about fashion and entertainment and life....and my thoughts. So I think it's only fitting that the title of my blog represents that. To me, Sincerely, Sara means that I wrote it (obviously), but it's more than that, it's like I wrote it to you. Like a heartfelt letter. I put a lot of time and energy into this blog, so I want it to reflect that passion and intimacy. I hope that makes sense.

Plus, I just like how Sincerely, Sara sounds. Don't you?

I'm not sure when or if this change will happen, but I want to know what you think. I've seen bloggers change the title of their blogs before, but do you think that I should? Do you like the title?

And just so you know if I change the title I will also change the blog design as well.

Happy Tuesday! Thanks ahead of time for your input!

It Only Takes A Girl

I saw this video yesterday and had to share. It's emotional, informative, heart-breaking, and shocking, but it also gives me a sense of hope that things can change if we want them to.

Please take a look.
