Kate Upton, an inspiration

I am inspired by a sports illustrated model, yes its weird but true! I have been a fan of Kate for a while now. I really got to know her work when I was doing my own character research for a film I did back in January (Anti Social) and she definitely had an influence on me. I found her to be very authentic, confident and unapologetic of her viral videos, she even started a dougie style video on set. The thing I loved most about her was her pride in her body which strayed from the typical high fashion look. In fact she made me feel better about my body! And that self assurance has landed her on the June cover of Vogue, a feat many models do not get to accomplish. She proves that no matter what people say or in her case write about you its always better to be yourself and own who you are, no matter how much it might not fit into society, something I am trying to keep in mind with my acting.

beauty on the brain

I have always been interested in beauty products. Over the past couple years I have made a conscious effort to really think about what I put on my skin and how to preserve my skin. I am a big advocate in less in more! and the more I read the labels of some skin products the more I realize there is so much unnecessary things I am putting on my skin. Your skin absorbs everything you put on it and it definitely affects your heath and its preservation. For a while I have felt safe with the organic line Juice Beauty and have really noticed a difference in the look and feel of my skin, not to mention its anti-aging properties (Im still young but I want my skin to look young forever!!). But lately I have wanted to simplify it even more, which is why I decided to try out making my own! I am on a quest to make a simple, organic and amazing moisturizer and cleanser. For the moisturizer I am mixing only three ingredients:

-argan oil : great for hair and skin, natural moisturizer with amazing anti-aging properties

-rosehip seed oil: a rare find but totally worth the search, amazing for regeneration of damaged skin

-lavender: the scent is amazing and relieves stress, also a great skin healer and can be used on all skin types!

I am also working on making a body butter moisturizer which will also only use three ingredients, all organic as well. There is definitely a process to making this but totally worth the effort. 

I can’t wait to mix and try different essential oils and make specific formulations for me and my friends!

a well written letter

check out this amazing open letter http://evandolive.com/2013/03/22/a-letter-to-victorias-secret-from-a-father/

I love that this father cares so much about his daughter to voice his opinion and a true one at that. These ideas have been surfacing for me as a 27 year old trying to create art in a world that values shocking stories and exposing girls as being sexy, promiscuous and stupid. There is more to our generation such as the girls working as entrepreneurs creating their own success, the ones working for non-profits trying to help others and the ones studying in university with dreams of a medical career etc(this list describes many of my friends who I admire) lets talk about those girls!

in another lifetime…

I must have been a gypsy and/or australian. I have always had a wandering spirit and have longed for the day I get to explore aussie land. Who knew I could find one brand that combines both loves: Spell and the gypsy collective are everything I LOVE about fashion wrapped up into one fringe vest. LOVE everything.
