FROM PRINCESS TO BARISTA~

Life is 
NOT A FAIRY TALE.
No, indeedy!

My beautiful princess,
ALANA (aka Lulu)
went from
THIS
to
THIS!
I think she is the 
cutest barista ever!
She knows that hard work pays off!
She is a 2nd generation barista-
following in her Auntie Mimi's footsteps.

She could have gone 
for the
glass slippers
source
Instead of the 
TENNIS SHOES WITH RHINESTONES~
But this girl knows that there is 
more to life than being pretty.
She's a grand girl with a kind heart
and as pretty inside as outside.

Can you BELIEVE she is working at
Neither can I!!!
Maybe I will get a free drink...
ummm--probably not!

Have a wonderful week
and upcoming
FOURTH OF JULY!!!!

She is beautiful on the outside - but what is more important is that she is beautiful from the inside out.

She is a very lovely young lady that going in the right direction. I respect her for not being too good to work and get her hands dirty. My son started out sacking groceries, BUT WENT ON TO GET A COLLEGE DEGREE AND HAS A GREAT JOB.

She has grown into a lovely young woman. Love these pics!!! I hope she gets lots of tips. Do they get tips at Starbucks? With her personality she should do very well. Unless she's having to give free lattes to you-know-who. LOL :-))

What cute pictures ! Our little princesses do have a way of growing up for sure. Several of my grandchildren are working at jobs this summer. I think its good for them. Hope you have a great 4th of July too!

~Lavender Dreamer~ said...

She is SO beautiful...but of course you know that already! A good excuse to go to Starbucks! Enjoy your day sweet lady!

Kathy said...

First of all, how did she grow up so fast? What a beautiful princess! Love the shoes. She's a girl after my own heart. And good for her working at Starbucks. I hope she at least gives you a discount. *wink*

Rain said...

I love her shoes! I did a few stints at coffee shops, it's not too bad a job, wishing her success and a Happy 4th to you and yours!!! :)

Lisa said...

Wow what a fun place to work! She is a beauty for sure!
Hope you get some freebies.

Your Alana is lovely in whatever she wears! I think working at Starbucks requires a second language (Starbucks). I would never get all those abbreviations for special orders. LOL

Carla from The River said...

They grow up so fast!
She is lovely.
If we get over your way this summer, we will have to go for coffee. :-)

John's Island said...

She’s a beauty for sure. Wish she worked at my Starbucks! A happy 4th to you Diana!

Susie said...

Diana, I think she will expect a big tip from her Nana. Your grandkids are all so nice looking. Pretty girls and handsome boys.My gosh those drinks look rich. I would need a regular coffee to wash them down. LOL. Blessings to you and yours for a fabulous 4th. Love you sweet friend. xoxo, Susie

Adam said...

I wonder how hectic working in a cafe might be. Starbucks overflows with customers.

GratefulPrayerThankfulHeart said...

My goodness, how ever did that little girl I first “met” grow so quickly and beautifully. A princess for sure.

Junkchiccottage said...

Time really flies doesn't it. She looks so much like Tara as she is getting older. Beautiful. I love the rhinestone tennis shoes with her dress. How fun. She is a beautiful girl. What a fun job too at the Starbucks.
Happy 4th my friend.
Hugs,
Kris

Debby Ray said...

And very possibly the prettiest barista around! Good for her...AND you!

This N That said...

You may not get a free drink but I’ll bet you be one of her best customers. Good for her. Seems like just yesterday that she was a little girl. Have a happy fourth. Stay safe. Hugs

Donna said...

A Beauty for sure! And thanks...NOW I want a mocha latte...grande…
Hahahaaa

Brenda Pruitt said...

I never go to Starbucks because I think it's expensive. I'm more a Walmart drive-thru iced caramel coffee girl. You could ask. You might just get a free coffee. Happy 4th!
Brenda

Bill said...

She'll be busy there at Starbucks, thst's for sure. I wish her luck.

Sandi@ Rose Chintz Cottage said...

She's a beauty, that's for sure! I love Starbuck's Caramel coffee. Happy 4th of July! Hope you're having a fun day!

Judy at GoldCountryCottage said...

Diana, what a beautiful little barista! My hubby would be in hog heaven if he had a relative that worked at StarBucks..Happy 4th my friend..xxoJudy

Lowcarb team member said...

A most beautiful barista :)

Wishing you a Happy 4th July.

All the best Jan

Cecilia said...

I love that she has those rhinestone tennis shoes with her princess dress! I'd happily go order a coffee from her! (and tell her to sneak her Nana a freebie, lol). Happy 4th, Diana! Hope your day is a blast! (get it? oo, boy. I'm done now). :)
hugs, Cecilia

Linda @ Life and Linda said...

Such a beauty, difficult to believe she is all grown up. A very pretty barista indeed. Love the sparkly tennis shoes with her beautiful dress. Happy weekend. Xoxo

Pom Pom said...

Oh, she's adorable! I like her style!

CHERI said...

She sure is pretty...in the blue dress and in her barista outfit:) Your description reminds me of my granddaughter. She has been told all her life (13 yrs.) how pretty she is, but thankfully it hasn't gone to her head and she is truly more beautiful inside than out. AND...she would love those blue rhinestone shoes. She would definitely opt for those over hills. I do love a gal who knows her own style. (If I had a job at Starbucks I would never make any money & gain pounds, pounds, pounds...and probably stay hyped up on caffeine!!!)

Diana said...

Oohh how beautiful is that blue dress – LOVE those great shoes she chose! I don't drink coffee, but good for her barista-ing! Blessings to you all, Diana! ♥

Is this a career choice or a job to pay her way through college?

Katie Isabella said...

LOVING this!!!
