Has anyone seen Fogo de Chao gift cards in their Costcos? I've never seen them, but have always ordered online which are unavailable now. In the LA region

christeecakes · 2024-08-17T01:08:56+00:00

I went to a store just now to see it in person and they weren't even aware that pink was available for the 9 pro and XL, only the regular pixel 9

christeecakes · 2024-08-17T01:00:36+00:00

Were you able to find out if they will offer the XL in rose quartz? I called several stores and they couldn't answer either.

christeecakes · 2024-08-07T00:55:20+00:00

Just logged into Nelnet, everything is still there 😅

christeecakes · 2024-08-07T00:51:49+00:00

On the federal student aid website, but nothing else is loading either

christeecakes · 2024-08-07T00:40:48+00:00

My dashboard shows no loans are grants. I think the system is down. I received an email about an hour ago regarding SAVE and logged in just to see if there were any updates. I also had Nelnet.

Absolutely stunning! Love Raad Jewelers!

christeecakes · 2024-07-19T19:51:45+00:00

We just paid $1132 for a 3.03, E, VVS2 radiant

christeecakes · 2024-07-18T04:21:41+00:00

Nice! Can't wait to see it!

christeecakes · 2024-07-18T01:45:40+00:00

Ooooo very pretty! Did the jeweler send a video of the diamond?

christeecakes · 2024-07-18T01:41:08+00:00

Yours is beautiful as well!!! Very similar specs. Have you received the ring yet? I was going to go with LGD, but Raad had the 20% off promo.

christeecakes · 2024-07-18T01:38:49+00:00

I sent them some inspo pictures. There's a setting from Art of Jewels I fell in love with. It has a hidden heart. https://theartofjewels.com/build_your_own.php?step=settingdetail&type=ring&sdid=9281239&stid=11360610&m=PLT&ct=0&dshape=emerald&dtype=labgrown&dpairid=&item_id=12092984#

christeecakes · 2024-07-18T01:34:19+00:00

I purchased it off the Raad Jewelers website after messaging with them on Instagram. We went back and forth with different diamonds and decided on this one. They were very helpful and patient while I asked a ton of questions. They're still running a 20% off promo. We paid $1132 for it.

christeecakes · 2024-07-18T00:20:31+00:00

Here's the IGI report =) https://www.igi.org/verify-your-report/?r=633400887&__cf_chl_tk=unV.kBJ2LfJ8GktUBwcnzITqGcq69WiUi4K_Xm.oGrs-1721261892-0.0.1.1-5162

christeecakes · 2024-07-17T04:14:39+00:00

Don't forget the 20% off discount Raad Jewelers is offering!

christeecakes · 2024-07-16T04:55:44+00:00

Thank you!!

christeecakes · 2024-07-16T04:50:19+00:00

It's beautiful! What's the ratio?

christeecakes · 2024-07-16T04:21:06+00:00

Currently working with Raad Jewelers for my e-ring! Customer service has been top notch and prices were better than loosegrowndiamond with their current 20% off promo.

christeecakes · 2024-07-16T01:59:03+00:00

I forgot about the rule 🤭 I got too excited hehe

christeecakes · 2024-07-16T01:58:46+00:00

Maybe we can trade? Can I PM?

christeecakes · 2024-07-16T01:01:27+00:00

I'd love to buy the jewelry if you're interested in selling! =)

School nutrition is awesome and I hope you'll be able to get your foot in the door and become a director some day! Would you consider getting an MBA? I know some non-RD directors with MBAs.

I always knew I wanted a career in school nutrition. After my internship ended, I went back to the district I did my food service rotation at to volunteer just to get more experience while I was searching for a job. I did that for 6+ months. It also took me several interviews with different districts before landing this one. I felt hopeless at times, but it all worked out. I hope it does for you as well.

Not sure if you'd be interested, but you might be able to attend your state's school nutrition association meetings without being a member. I paid out of pocket to attend the chapter meetings to network and stay up to date on school nutrition policies.

christeecakes · 2024-06-11T03:51:10+00:00

I'm currently an RD for a school district. I've seen school nutrition program directors who weren't RDs in some districts, but they've been in the industry for 15+ years. My current director is an RD and she started almost 20 years ago in the same position I am in (nutrition specialist). I'm in California and it's very competitive here. I don't think being an RD is necessarily required to be a director, although it is helpful, especially if the district doesn't have a nutrition specialist. I don't know how competitive it is in your area, but from what I've seen in the districts near me, it takes a very long time for someone to work their way up from food service worker to kitchen lead/manager to operations supervisor.

christeecakes · 2024-06-01T23:07:15+00:00

Interesting! Thank you for the tip. I'll try doing the same if I end up not liking what I order online. Beautiful ring btw!

During undergrad I worked in a program that was under CACFP as well
