Is your business like a shitty diet?
Let me ask you – have you ever tried Paleo? What about Atkins? Keto? Gluten-free? Whole 30? How about pretty much ANY other shitty diet you could ever think of? “All you need to do is this bull shit diet and then exercise for just an hour a day and, you know,...

Lightgasm
Have you ever heard a photographer gush about light?? I can’t even deny it. We’re kind of pretentious about it. The light!! Oh dahling, the light on your face is to DIE FOR. (Because we say things like “dahhhhling” in a ridiculous Moira Rose accent.) We can’t...

Ok, let’s be real. Legal stuff is SCARY. It’s expensive. It’s hard to understand. It's overwhelming realizing everything that we don't know. Am I the only one who feels this way? But at the end of the day, you (I say you, but I mean ‘me’ too!) should not...

Pinterest. Let’s talk basics!
Is it just me or does social media just overwhelm you?? There's always something to do, something to post, more to learn, blah blah blah. How do you even keep up?? And now, word on the street is that Pinterest is WHERE WE NEED TO BE!! But I am le tired....

What to wear with Alexandra Nicole
