Goodbye, 2021!

A lot of good things happened in 2021, and some not so great things. For me, the important part is that I’m still here. I’m still healthy. My family is still healthy. My clients have become even more like family, and I hope you all know how important you really are to me. 2021 sawContinue reading “Goodbye, 2021!”

Let’s talk about photos

I want to cover a few things today; one is why I take my photos behind the chair the way I do, and one is a few ways to spot photoshop when looking for photos. Behind my chair I want to start with the way I photograph hair behind the chair. When you’re browsing InstagramContinue reading “Let’s talk about photos”

Holy Vaccine Response, Batman

Many of you knew I got two doses of the Pfizer Covid vaccine in early 2021 and that the second dose kicked my butt. My second dose was about 12:30 pm and by 10:30 I couldn’t pinpoint what exactly, but something felt off. By 3:30 am the body aches and chills and sweats had keptContinue reading “Holy Vaccine Response, Batman”

I bundled my backpack with a matching cord pouchContinue reading “Day Owl Backpacks”

The main purpose of this post is to really document and highlight how much work really goes into color corrections, even ones that seem “simple,” and to stress how important it is to make sure you’re informed and prepared for what’s going to go into a correction. The first thingContinue reading “More Color Correction Fun”

It’s Indigenous People’s Day!

When I was growing up, the second Monday in October was called Columbus Day because allegedly this guy comes in and “discovers” a continent where people were already living. Since the arrival of European colonizers, the people indigenous to North America have been repeatedly taken advantage of and systematically oppressed, along with pretty much everyContinue reading “It’s Indigenous People’s Day!”

Kind Laundry

What started as a combined search effort to be both lower waste as well as not have to carry a big jug of detergent back and forth when I needed to do the laundry at work led me to discover Kind Laundry. Are laundry detergent sheets a new thing? Somewhat. Is Kind the only companyContinue reading “Kind Laundry”

MUD/WTR

MUD/WTR has a really weird name. I know. And yet, I enjoy it immensely. What is it exactly? The short version is it’s a coffee replacement beverage but really you can drink it anytime you want. Since it doesn’t have a high caffeine content, it’s delightful any time of the day. MUD\WTR™ is a coffeeContinue reading “MUD/WTR”

We did it!

Folks… we did it! We’ve officially filled our first box to send back to Green Circle for recycling!!! I have no idea how much it actually weighs but I had a hard time lugging it through the salon building to my suite for its scheduled pickup today. Everything in that box would have ended upContinue reading “We did it!”
