Never- Ending Gum Stuck In Mouth Dream Meaning

Chenet Bonnètt here,

   So if you know me personally then you probably know that I have crazy vivid dreams that occur every night. I always wake up remembering the dreams I have, and I used to not think about it to much until my I started telling my boyfriend about them. He told me that I should start looking up the meanings of the dreams so that I know why I am dreaming them.

   The crazy thing is sometimes I actually have super Deja vu type dreams, but not like things that I've done before but more like clairvoyant type dreams. I know it sounds insane and I wouldn't really believe it if someone told me that. I'll write another blogpost about the dreams I've had that have come true before.
  
  It has gotten to the point where I almost hate going to sleep because I have no clue whats going to happen, and most of the time I just have had dreams over and over in one night. Other nights I have recurring dreams night after night of the same thing. So today I was bored and procrastinating finishing my schoolwork and I took my boyfriends advice and looked up what one of my recurring dreams meant.

  This dream changes up a lot but it is always based off of the same thing, Im doing something ( and like i said it changes, it could be anything) and in my dream I'm standing around and trying to do or say something and I have this gum/taffy thick substance in my throat and mouth. It feels like when you were a kid and stuffed a ton of bubble gum in your mouth to see how much you could fit in there and still be able to chew up. You can still breath but it is hard because there is so much blocking happening. Naturally I try and pull it out. So i normally am able to pull out a handful and when it is gone, another huge glob of the substance is back in my mouth. It is just a constant stream of my mouth and throat being full and me not being able to get it all out. 

   The people that are around me in the dream don't pay attention to the fact that I'm struggling at all. It's kind of like it't not happening at all. It's just weird. And I have this dream all the time. Constantly. It has probably been happening for about a year now, a year when it happens a couple times a week. But before that it had been happening on and off for a while. This is what I found about this particular part of my dreams.


  To dream that you are unable to get rid of your gum suggests that you are experiencing some indecision, powerlessness or frustration. You may lack understanding in a situation or find that a current problem is overwhelming. The  gum in your mouth is a metaphor for something that you are trying to process or digest. Perhaps you feel that you have bitten off more than you can chew.
— DreamMoods
Dreams of chewing something might indicate a need to sort things out. Chewing gum may represent going through the same experience over and over again.
— MythsDreamsSymbols
When you dream of gum it indicates feelings of being trapped and susceptible. You seem to be stuck in a situation in your life. If you cannot get rid of the gum, whether it sticks to your hand or your mouth, you are upset by your inability to get away from the problem.
— DreamDictionary

  When I tell you that I was sitting at my computer freaking out about how accurate this analysis is, I'm serious. I don't really want to explain all of it because that would take forever, but I think that this is interesting, and I'm going to keep looking up my dream meanings and telling you all about it.

  Until then -- Stay Authentic.

Becoming a Waitress

Chenet Bonnèt here,

It has been a long time, and I have realized that I really want to write more lifestyle type blogs along with fashion posts, so I hope everyone likes them.


I really needed a job, and for months and months after my last semester of college classes ended I was applying to tons of retail jobs. I had a couple interviews and no job seemed to turn out from them. I applied to one restaurant just because, never thinking I would actually work in one.


  Honestly, if you knew me you would probably think the same, I have an attitude when people get snappy with me, I have two left feet and have no coordination at all. So the thought of carrying multiple drinks and plates and trying not to run into tables and keep a calm and happy face on when customers get angry and fussy was not a task I thought I was going to be good at. At all. But I got a call after I had a great interview at an amazing retail store, and It was the Italian restaurant that I had applied for almost three months ago, I agreed to go in and interview (because I was still waiting for a final offer from the retail place). I walked in and met the lady who interviewed me and she was so happy and energetic I couldn't turn down the opportunity. 


  Fast forward to my first day of training... It was crazy. Honestly it was a random Monday night and the restaurant is not to crazy busy. That day it was, I ended up just filling drinks and bussing tables all night, not really learning how to take phone orders or how to help customers sit down and order food. The rest of my training wasn't that bad, it wasn't easy for me because all I know is retail, and I'm terrible with technology so when it came to figuring out how to use the computers I felt lost for a little bit.


  As soon as I was able to have my first table I started loving my new job. I had the absolute cutest couple come in. They were in their mid twenties ( I'm guessing) and they were funny and let me ask them 100x what they were drinking because I kept forgetting. They played 20 questions with me and my life. Haha they told me they were thinking up what my life story was and then asked me to fill in the blanks. 


  Honestly I don't think ill ever have a better table then those people. They left me an amazing tip which was just candles and ice cream onto of the cake, and when I picked up their tap they left me a sweet note.


  Now don't get me wrong I have had a couple of bad tables, people that no matter what you do or change just wont be happy. Me being me did not understand what I did because I know that I give great customer service and always make sure everything is correct, so I took it way to hard. My wonderful manager always says "It's just food, its not that serious". 

And honestly it's true. Im sure a lot of people would disagree with that but it really is just food. 

  Personally I like working as a waitress because you constantly meet new people and get to be in different situations. Everyone I work with are really cool people, they are funny and are always joking and it makes working go by incredibly fast.


  I feel like I am learning a lot, and I never would have thought that I would be doing this, let alone liking it as much as I do.


I already have a lot of stories that I want to write about, and I like this type of informal writing so I will try and continue it. Until then,


Stay authentic

Chenet Bonnètt's summer Lookbook ( sneak peek)





Chenet Bonnètt here,

  I know it has been a long time since I have last talked you you guys, sorry about that. 
  This year of college is over for me *Screams,chants,and vogue's around*. Summer means outrageous fashion statements and poolside photo shoots. Really though,everything is overdone and documented.












  Needless to say Isha and I now have a lot of time to dedicate to the blog and my youtube channel(shameless plug). 
Seriously there is an amazing lookbook video posted there that correlates with these pictures and gives you a better feel for the outfits.You can see the material move and catch the light(plus the music is amazing).

  So Isha and I started pulling outfits and drove downtown to shoot. The purpose of this small lookbook was more to get us started again and to get the cinematography for our looks down. Overall it is to get ourselves and you all excited for more regular shoots.



We Pulled these outfits together with one mindset -We need to create cute and easily re-creditable outfits-. That being said If you do not find yourself having any similar articles of clothing you can go to your local H&M or TopShop and pick them up for an affordable price. I will be listing where everything is from below.


This first outfit is very casual but could easily transform into a more night time suitable look. It is a Blue polkadot Babydoll dress from H&M. We threw a long sleeve jean button up over it to make it more casual.


For the pop of color we added a silver necklace with magenta beads and the same color Steve Madden heels(and If anyone is wondering yes that is a G-shock it is my boyfriends). 
  If you are going out and want to switch up the look, take off the jacket and whip your hair around for volume. Trust me those two things make a huge difference, and because you are already wearing heels you are ready for anything.




This outfit is one of Isha and my favorites, because it is something I regularly go to when picking out my outfits.
  A crop top and a perfect laying high waisted shirt(I will do a whole separate Blog post talking about this).





  The black Crop Top is from Forever21 and the skirt is from the Kendal&Kyle PacSun line. It was originally a darker color but something went wrong with the wash and it is now light blue with a tinge or green. It is "unique" now and I actually like it this way a lot better. We added a grey knitted Cardigan from Charlotte Russe (from literally 8 years ago).The flawless chunky black oxford shoes are from DSW. We paired them with black,white,and grey boot socks from Target. Adding the patterned socks and scrunching them down adds more texture to the outfit.
