“Duck face is so 2015, Nella. The new selfie face is “Fish Gape.”

I think we should all, at least at one point in our lifetime, work in the restaurant biz…can I get an AMEN?! I feel like I learned some of my most valuable lessons serving up enchiladas and margaritas. Where else can you learn to balance four glasses of ice water in the palm of your hand, remember the “Josie’s Special, no onions, sauce on the side, with extra cheese…but on a cold plate” while twisting a beer bottle open with your teeth? Ok…so the beer bottle thing never happened…but I did learn some of my best multi-tasking and people skills that certainly helped prepare me for life and ultimately motherhood. Also, some of my best and dearest friends are peeps I met working in restaurants.

Why am I flappin’ my gums about this?! Cuz I have 31 days this month to talk about the possibilities and opportunities for peeps rockin’ that extra chromosome and this happens to be a fantastic one! We have had many recipients find employment in this arena and it has been great, not only for them to gain work experience and social skills, but to expand, grow and sometimes it even leads to a new path or passion in life. My next story is one of determination that will leave you smiling…so stay tuned!!

And unfortunately Fish Gape really is the new Duck Face, Ya’ll. Give it a Google. Don’t go gettin’ caught with your Duck Face out this weekend!!

Happy Friday, Peeps!!
