Some people hate Mondays. It means the weekend is over and you have to go back to work. As for me, I like Mondays. Mondays feel like a fresh start and I get to go to work and see my friends. Today was an especially good Monday. John came in shortly after I arrived at…

After class Krista and I went to the mall. She shopped for boots while I played with my cell phone. Then she shopped for more boots while I played with my cell phone some more. I gotta say, I haven’t minded sitting around waiting ever since I got my iPhone. Getting my oil changed? No…

I woke up this morning wishing I could go back to sleep. I wanted this class to be over so I could have my Sundays back already. I miss sleepeing in. Unfortunately, skipping class was not an option. Today we finished our lecture on corrective makeup and contouring, then we got to put makeup on…

I’ve spent the last week researching makeup foundation. At this point, I’d consider myself obsessed.

I’m giving myself incentive to blog more. I’ve just made a bet/promise with my friend Joey to post to our blogs at least once a week by 11:59pm on sunday night. The person who doesn’t do this must buy the other person lunch during the week. It looks like Joey is going to be buying…

i’m obsessed with business cards. please tell me i’m not the only who feels a burning hatred for moo cards.

I’m a photographer, but you’d hardly know it from looking at my blog. The pictures on it are barely more than snap shots rather than carefully crafted images. I made the decision a while ago that not everything I shoot has to be something ready to be published in a magazine. Sometimes life’s little moments…
