Model Lifestyle

For most people the idea of traveling is the very thing that gets them through school, work, or life. Knowing that eventually all that work will be spent exploring and living in a place you never have before is extremely exciting to a large number of people. Well, the idea sounded great to me. As someone who has never grown up traveling I liked the idea of going to new places. Even places that were just in the US. I did a little bit of traveling when I was in high school. But it was always a short school trip and usually I had a family member with me. The times I do remember traveling were always fun and I never remember having any issues. Fast forward to this last week. I had this Colorado trip planned for awhile. There were about a thousand reasons why I wanted to go to Colorado. Needless to say I was very excited. Except, the morning I woke up to board the plane I got sick. I woke up early and started vomiting profusely. If you know me at all, you know that vomiting is unfortunat

Welcome to your first class in Modeling 101.  In this blog post I want to explore topics related to how to start modeling.

Now what makes me a model is my massive portfolio or continuous hard work in the industry and on social media. But then doesn't that mean that anyone could model? Well, yeah basically. So my first

It is funny for me to think that there was a time when I was not so confident in my skin. To a point, I believe everyone is a little insecure no matter how confident they claim to be. Throughout my middle school and high school years I got enough attention to have confidence and sometimes I felt like I was. But for the most part I only felt confident less than half the time. I did not like how most clothes looked on me. I felt at a loss for my own personal style which made shopping for clothes that did look good much harder. I often felt in between styles and could not find looks that fit me. Not to mention, I had a baby face which would be great down the line but not at the time. It made me look years younger so it was hard to pass as a high schooler. I never looked my age in social settings. That felt damaging to my image in high school. Additionally, I never liked to go out without a little bit of makeup. Just so people would not say anything about my age or how young I looked. Of c
