The Addiction to Ink...Tattoo Ink
For as long as I can remember, I have always loved and appreciated tattoos. I always saw them as beautiful and a way to be free, even when I was too young to have any, I always enjoyed looking at the tattoos on other people. I like to believe I am a creative person, at least in some ways and I always love to find different ways of expressing myself. I have been dying my hair since I was 8 years-old and have recently hit the 20 year mark of doing so. I am proud to say that my hair has officially been every color that is available for hair dye, and a few months before my 18th birthday, my body became a canvas. Where I live, the law dictates that you have to be 18, but I got my first tattoo shortly before by a guy in his house and blessings from my mom. For my first tattoo, I chose a loose representation of the NYC skyline with different elements that remind me of my best friend because I knew then that she would always be a large part of who I am, no matter where life takes us.

Balancing Your Sylph and Your Nerd.
Hey there Gemini. Wow, it’s been a tough year for you! Your usual inquisitive, bubbly, uber chatty self has been forced to embrace the other side of your twin, the introverted, reflective, nervous-nelly side. Yikes! Too much time inside that head of yours has been kind of dizzying. There’s been a lot of adjusting between both your inside voices.

The Ritual of Reading Cards
As I cut away the burnt bits of sage with my scissors, ash and dust falling into the bin, I begin to cleanse my space. With new twigs revealed, I flick on my lighter and watch as the flames turn the dried herbs into wispy wands of smoke, clearing the energy of the space where I will carry out my craft.

When Words Become Triggering
Words are often one of our leading guideposts when it comes to interacting with each other in society. Non-verbal gestures may be what we first come to know—such as smiling when faced with something pleasurable—but we can often express ourselves best through the use (and nuance) of language.
