Can Designer Brands Improve Your Life?

I came across an interesting article that basically explains how fashion can impact earning potential. 

Who would think that carrying a designer bag can help land you a job with a higher salary and receive better job recommendations?  According to social psychologists, Rob Nelissen and Marijn Meijers, from Tilburg University in the Netherlands, designer labels really do affect how people are perceived.

Hello lovelies!

Hello lovelies! 

I'm quite the character as some as you may know - an old soul who's passionate and feisty. 

I welcome you to my Castle of hope...

... my name, Nayrobi Castillo, means just that.  Life in castles wasn't as glamorous as we think it was - so much was always going on.  This blog is all about life in my castle.  Despite the coldness and dimness associated with life in a castle during the Medieval Times, there's so much hope in mine.  Well, we are in 2011 right.  There's light brought in from the wonderful things one sees as we mature and become wiser. 

I'm a daughter to a preschool teacher, Evelin; a sister to two younger brothers, Jose & Luis; and a mommy to Karizma & Kayden. 

I was in the Army National Guard; a law assistant to an attorney and judge; and now am a stay at home mother.

Why blog?  I'm kind of late to the party actually!  Who doesn't blog these days?  I decided to join the party to share the light I have seen in life: all of the birthday parties planned for my lil ones; the trips taken where new things have been experienced; and so, so, so much more. 

I hope you all enjoy reading it all as much as I will enjoy sharing it.

Hello Lovelies!

I'm new to this blogger world.  I have been wonderfully inspired by oh so many bloggers and thought I'd finally start giving back with a blog of my own!

I see that so many bloggers are stay at home mothers and I ask myself, "Where do they find the time?"!
I don't know but I look forward to sharing the bit of time I have at the end of my days to share with you all.

Happy Blogging!

xoxo
