I 'Rebranded' And You Should Too
After a year of taking s*** from people, I decided to change up what I'm all about.
If you've read any of my previous posts, you know I've been through a lot when it comes to guys and college. From boys peeing in my room to being ghosted by seventeen-year-olds, I've had my fair share of unfortunate situations. But after years and years of just taking it and making a joke out of it, I've decided I'm done.
If you pee in my room, I'm not going to pine over you or think twice about trying to fix things—you're cut off. If you're seventeen-years-old, I'm not going to even think about going down that road again. If you ditch me to do drugs? Bye. If you ghost me? Apparently I dye my hair a completely different color and change my entire personal brand.
I've been a blonde since the day I was born. Everyone knows me as a blonde. Everyone loved me as a blonde. But everyone ghosted me as a blonde. So blonde? It's cancelled. I'm a brunette now and I'm not taking s*** from any frat guy or private school graduate who tucks his pants into his socks—no matter what. It's 2019, I'm a brunette, and the world collectively agrees that men are trash. So trash they will be.
I know it might sound ridiculous, but I'm taking this hair transformation as a rebranding of my personal image, and a rebranding of my mindset. It's like I'm a whole new person and I am living for it. On Halloween this past year, I dressed up as Mia from "Pulp Fiction", black wig and all. That night I felt a different kind of power—it was liberating. It was like I had an alter ego for the night and she didn't come to play. Well, now I have that alter ego every single day, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made.
Sometimes in order to make a change, you need a little push to get there. So dying my hair? It pushed me over the edge and helped me to work on myself this summer. If you want to better yourself but can't find the motivation, dye your hair. Become a new person in a way and almost force yourself to live up to the expectations of your reinvented self.
Ever since I dyed my hair, I've focused much more on my studies, my job, my body, and my relationships with other people. If something isn't right, I fix it. While before I would take anything as it was and refuse to acknowledge my ability to insinuate change, now I feel an overwhelming power that makes me feel like I can do anything.
As silly as it sounds, I am a new person. It's only been a few weeks, but it's made all the difference. And all it took was a box of brown hair dye.
Dye your hair. Rebrand yourself. I promise you won't regret it.
Stop Reading The Negative Comments About Gymboree
it's important for you to come in and see the outcome yourself.
Gymboree is a children's clothing store that has been around for years. I know for a fact I was wearing Gymboree when I was little and a lot of grandma's who come in always say how their children were in it and now the grandchild is wearing it.
To start off before we really get into it, I may be a little biased as I work for Gymboree but I am not trying to change opinions simply trying to give a new viewpoint.
The company recently rebranded it's clothing in Gymboree this means less clutter on the floor, a more modern look, and a slogan to go along with it. Since it's rebranding there are so many negative articles out there about how parents hate the new Gymboree. Such as The Wall Street Journal or on LinkedIn, where all articles focus on how parents aren't happy with the new look.
Now granted the clothing did change but it's also because before the big girl sizes (5-12 years-old) matched the baby girl look. Well, a lot of the older kids don't want to match their baby sister or brother. Personally, I love all the new styles that they've brought in to keep up with the times.
Many might also be mad because the prices seem to have gone up. This is not exactly the case... you see most of the prices are similar if not the same as the old clothing's regular prices. The only difference that is occurring is that the sales are not what they were. Many are upset by this but it might be partially because of when the new clothing came in, the old clothing had to go. This meant all the old clothing marked down significantly cheaper in order for it to sell faster.
The other thing to keep in mind is that the company did declare bankruptcy a year ago. Obviously, something had changed and many of those changes occurred already.
I also want everyone to keep in mind that the people who go online are normally only the ones who have something negative to say, it's important for you to come in and see the outcome yourself. Don't just take what the internet is saying for fact. It costs nothing to stop in the store and check out the new clothing style. You might find you love it.
