I did a Frankenstein photoshoot yesterday with my friend Michelle from Michelle Lucille Photography for one of her clients in Central Park. I'd never done a Frankenstein face before, but I looked at the pictures the client wanted to go by, then at a ton of pictures and tutorials of other face painter's work. Here's the end result:
On a slightly less terryfing note, my new Breville Juicer arrived!!!! Allow me to introduce you to: Cranston the Pulverizer.
And did I mention he comes with a de-frother?! No more straining for This girl!
There is so much to learn about building a business. When I start to get overwhelmed with everything I need to know/learn/do (can we take a second and acknowledge if it wasn't for my mother I'd totally be one of those people who knows nothing about taxes so never does them), I think about something my sister said to me and realize how awesome this actually is. I'm 22 years old, didn't go to college, and I'm creating My Own Business!!! How cool is that?! Sure, it's a lot of work, but it's also very exciting and worthwhile to pursue another love of mine and have it be self sustaining so I don't need to work other jobs for other people (I've realized I really don't like having a boss other than myself).
I read a lot of blogs (let's be honest here, they're all about cooking), but I recently came across this nifty little site which is all about travel and life. I'm excited to delve further into the archives, but here's a great article I read this morning which really spoke to me since I've been dwelling on "business sense" and whatnot lately. Check it out!
I also just finished reading Eat Pray Love and quite enjoyed it. It re-invigorated my deep desire to travel - back to Italy, and to Bali (which I fell in love with when my sister told me about her trip and showed me pictures and videos she'd taken. Also nice that it's super cheap and tragically beautiful). I'm not quite sure what I'm waiting for/what the deciding factor for me to go traveling is. I've always felt one day I'll just pick up and go, and I'm yearning for that day to arrive, but I'm really not sure when it will. Am I making excuses or valid reasons for not taking off right now? Who knows.
I used to be a voracious reader until I moved to New York and became too busy to spend all day reading fantasy novels. I'm discovering another facet of myself - that I enjoy great little biographies like this - sort of memoir-y, but also with great ideas and lessons and exotic locales. Before Eat Pray Love, I read Tina Fey's book Bossypants and loved it. Any suggestions on what I should start reading next?
