Kid Dangerous
The Batman
The Many Faces of Gwyn, Kate, and Nicole
For Ben,
Because he understands, So change it up, bitch…It has been brought to my attention that I’m not much for routines. I’ve never made it to work at the same time each day, I’ve never been able to commit to something “once a week” such as yoga and for the most part I think it is safe to say, I like to change it up…
With that being said, we are kissing the “series” goodbye. I will update those thoughts when they mean something. Predictability doesn’t turn me on.
Acceptance vs. Denial: Fall Favorites
For Noa,
Because she doesn’t have to live in denial… So I am trying to live in acceptance!!!Denial. Denial is a wonderful condition in which to live… not always, but sometimes. Labor Day weekend marks the end of summer. However, given the industry that I work in, directly after Labor Day weekend I am thrust (and not a good type of thrust) into New York Fashion Week. By the time all of this slows down and I have a second to accept that Summer is in fact over, reality hits me first. Hits me right up against the face when I look in the mirror. Everything I worked on over the last four months is fading fast. The color of my skin, the clear complexion, my natural highlights, my summer glow (if you will) is slowly but surely going to shit. Every morning. Right in front of my very own eyes. I wish I could live in denial.
The Color of Life
For a Life Full of Color,
Because sometimes the same ole gets boring…
So splash some color on it!!
New York Fashion Week was last week. Again. While I am sure everyone is dying to know how my NYFW went, unless you are interested in the clickety clackety of my fingers hitting the keyboard “over and over, and over, and over, and over like a monkey with a miniature symbol” we should move on. Among other things, NYFW can also be blamed for my lack of posts. Really, it is time to move on.
So, as my fingers were clickety clacking at my keyboard far past an appropriate time for the day to end, I reminisced over a time much less busy. It was then that I remembered that time I wasn’t invited to the Met Gala. That was one serious case of FOMO, but after a glass of wine I was over it… (more…)
Amanda’s Absolutes 5
For a little certainty,
Because nothing in life is a sure bet… So here are my absolutes this week!!!Remember that time I said I was starting a new series on the blog with product reviews… Blah Blah Blah
Things are a changing… although posting Amanda’s Absolutes once a week might have been a little over zealous… So, without further ado Volume Five…
Amanda’s Absolutes. Why? Just to remind you – because it is high time we got to know each other a little better.
Statement of Purpose
For Me,
Because you probably didn’t see that coming…
So this is what I am doing for Labor Day!!!
I have been really into statement pieces as of late. And by as of late I mean within the last year. And by statement pieces I mean things that have an actual statement on them… I thought this new obsession was restricted to t-shirts, sweatshirts, a coffee mug maybe… and perhaps a bathing suit. That is about all I was expecting. So, you can imagine my delight when I stumbled upon these little treasures to express my thoughts and my love of all things beauty related.
White as a Diamond
For Katerina,
Because we are becoming one and the same… So I am taking it to a new level!!!As tips are shared with me, I share them with you. That’s just how I roll. So here is the thing, all I have ever really wanted is to help people feel beautiful. Like really beautiful. The way you feel when you leave the salon with a new haircut that was blown out perfectly. You know you aren’t going to be able to recreate it at home, but for that walk and maybe even for the rest of the night you look dynamite and you know it. You own this town. Or right after you leave the nail salon, for all of the 10 minutes before you chip that bitch on your keys trying to dig them out of your bag to get in your apartment, you honestly believe you have beautiful hands. That is the beautiful I am talking about!
