A Little [DONNY HATHAWAY] for a Saturday Night

It's the first Saturday Night of May, and I in a bit of a lovey-dovey romantic mood. I am (very!) happily single at the moment, but I know that somewhere out there is the man for me. A man that is kind, loving, respectful, honest, genuine, selfless, giving, funny, sexy and true..... I know that he's out there looking for me the way I'm looking for him. And perhaps he is in a lovey-dovey mood tonight, too! LOL

So for tonight's Saturday Night song, I am playing "You Were Meant for Me" by the one, the only, Donny Hathaway. And I dedicate it to the love of my life, whoever and where ever he is.... I cannot wait to meet you! :)

Miss Moon Gets Healthy: April Stats

I've been on my "Get Healthy" path for a few months now, but April was the month that I really got it going!!! I plan on  keeping this post short and sweet and just share with you how far I have come! If I can do it.. believe me, anybody can!!!

And here I am... after a walk earlier this week. I saw this Pin on Pinterest once that said, "If you still look cute after a workout... you're not doing it right!".... Judging from this picture, I am definitely doing it right!!! LOL

Others have remarked that they can already see a difference in me, but I must admit that I can't just yet. But I will continue to keep going and I know that one day, I will!!! I cannot wait to see what May has in store for me!!! Let's go #TeamGetHealthy!!!!

Wanna Wanna Wednesday... Global Girlfriend's Ugandan Organic Waxcloth Shoulder Bag

There has been massive discussion all over the internet these past few months about Joseph Kony, and I think everyone can agree that there needs to be a lot of change to take place in Uganda. But his removal (along with central Africa's other warlords) does not amount to much if nothing is done to change the generations of discrimination, violence, widespread poverty, displacement, not to mention no access to education, health care, and justice. Surely, this is the catalyst for people like Joseph Kony to come to power in the first place.

This is why this week's item I wanna wanna wanna is very special. The Ugandan Organic Waxcloth Shoulder Bag ($28.00, Global Girlfriend) is crafted with hand-printed Ugandan waxcloth. And because it's handmade by women artisans, your purchase helps to improve their lives... as well as those of their families and community.

Coming in both Black and Blue (Guess which color I want?!? lol), I can totally see myself rocking this during the summer with jeans or a killer maxi dress.With a slouchy design that lets you fit what you need for a weekend day out, this delightful cotton bag also has a spacious interior pocket to keep your important items from getting lost in the bottom. But what's even more beautiful than the bag itself is that by purchasing a TOTALLY KICK ASS BAG... you can help the efforts of people making a peaceful living in the wake of armed conflict, helping them recover from the nightmare of stolen childhoods. Your purchase of this bag and other products from groups like One Mango Tree, which rehabilitates former LRA members, you are directly helping people changes their lives and communities.

Miss Moon's Musing About: The Best 'GET THAT JOB' Interview Look

So it's been a little over four months since I've been unemployed. While I've done my best to make the best use of this time, I think it's time to shake things up and be a bit more proactive in my job search.

One of my favorite things to do is invest in a KILLER job interview ensemble... something that has just enough of my personality, a splash of professionalism, and a liberal application of "Check me out, you know you want me for this job!!!". I've always found that when there is a kick ass look hanging in your closet, you get excited about the prospect of wearing it on an interview. When you're excited about the possibility of going on an interview, you're more excited when job searching. And when you're excited about job searching, that energy and intent can be conveyed in your application.

This results in a job interview... which results in an opportunity to rock your interview duds!!! And in the very best case scenario... it results in your getting that great job!! So I searched the internet for the past few days, looking for outfits that I would actually wear on a job interview. I've put together three in total, and I want to know which of the three looks, (if you were a prospective employer) would MOST make you want to hire me.

Now keep in mind, I'm not looking for a job on Wall Street, which would require me to wear a suit 5 days a week. My perfect opportunity would be a job where I could wear jeans if I wanted to... but honestly, I rarely do. I really really like this outfit and I think if I rocked this with my white blazer, it would really be an eye catcher:

Top: ASOS CURVE Jersey Top With Peplum Hem ($39.99, ASOS)
Pants: Slant Pocket Slim Leg Pant ($39.99, Avenue)
Shoes:  HILSER Flats ($50.00, Aldo Shoes)
Necklace: Encompassing Peacocks Indie Necklace ($25.99, Ruche)

This look is a bit more colorful, which I am all about, but I don't believe it's SUPER overwhelming as to appear unprofessional in a job interview.

Top: Lime Leaf Print Top ($35.00, Evans USA)
Cardigan: Women's Plus 3/4-Sleeve Cardigans ($36.94, Old Navy)
Pants: Flared Leg Trousers ($59.95, Lane Bryant)
Shoes: SM Women's Heaven Multicolor Flat ($39.95, DSW)

Now,  I am generally ALL ABOUT pants when going on a job interview. But chalk it up to getting older and more adventurous, I would welcome the opportunity to wear a skirt on an interview now. And to celebrate my new-found chutzpah when it comes to job interview apparel, I've selected this outfit:

Top: Printed Poncho Blouse ($29.50, Ashley Stewart)
Skirt: Bespoke Perfect Black Pencil Skirt ($48.00, Simply Be)
Shoes: Seychelles Freesia Flat ($79.95, DSW)
Bag: Hurley Prism II Book Tote ($40.00, Zappos)

There you have it. Three looks I could sincerely see myself wearing on a job interview. Now it's up to you which one I invest in: Look One, Look Two, or Look Three.... so be sure to leave me a comment with your pick!!!!
