See this face?  Yes, that was about what I looked like the other day when I received the phone call that I GOT A JOB!!!  And no, it's not just any job, but an AWESOME one!  After an extensive hiring process, I have been hired on to start a new branch of the European Wax Center  as an esthetician in the Lake Oswego (OR) area.  This is an quickly-growing company nation wide that is doing great things in the waxing world.   I honestly wasn't sure about working for a corporate company initially, but after meeting my potential bosses and seeing their passion for the products and service as well as their organization and intentions during the hiring process, I was sold.  Not only is this a job in my field of practice, but it is a goal oriented, face-paced, team driven job.  I can't wait!  I start training next week and will be able to stay at my current job with the YMCA as well until I build up more hours with EWC.   I'm not going to lie, God seemed to cut this
