I've been cycling most of my life. Like everyone else, I started on training wheels, moved on to a hand-me-down single speed with coaster brakes, then upgraded to an awesome 10-speed. After that, mountain bikes were all the rage, so at 15 I bought my first bike—a Peugeot mountain bike—with my very own money. And I loved it.
While living in Vancouver I was sadly bested by the incredibly difficult trails there, so I decided to go back to the road and I've never looked back. I started racing one month after buying a road bike and I've been putting on the miles ever since. That was a long time ago now. I sometimes forget what a seasoned cyclist I am, and how it takes those kinds of years and hours to be really proficient at something. Cycling has always been an important part of the culture in countries like France, Italy and Spain, and now it's become very popular in North America. As a result, there are a lot of inexperienced cyclists out there. While it's great to see people getting out and embracing two wheels, it also makes things a bit sketchy. In order to get better, and to keep things safe on the road, taking advice and learning from skilled cyclists is a wise idea.
I've had a long history with the famous Mont Ventoux; I've been up and down it so many times I've lost count, and at this point I definitely have some pointers. I'm still not sure why I continue to torture myself with it, but there is something pretty special about the mountain and I can't imagine being here without attacking its slopes. It's not for the weak of heart or mind, and it's not for everyone. But if you are thinking you want to give it a go, and you haven't a lot of experience with large European mountain passes, I just might have a few tips.
There are three routes up the Ventoux: Bédoin, Malaucène and Sault. They all have different characteristics and it's worth it to try each side if you can. Bédoin is the classic route of the Tour de France. This is considered the most difficult route, and from the hairpin turn at the restaurant to Chalet Reynard, it's a bear. No question. But the road is windy, tucked into the forest and in my opinion, it's one of the best routes. Malaucène is arguably just as difficult and for me, it's worse. It's a wider road and it has more straight stretches. The mental challenge of looking at two kilometres of 12% laid straight out in front of me is a misery I just can't tolerate. Then there is Sault—it starts in the wonderfully beautiful lavender meadows, it smells good and it's a much easier pitch. It's longer but by far the most agreeable for any newbies. You still have to finish with the same last six kilometres as those ascending from Bédoin, so you don't get a complete pass. But overall, it's the most pleasant.
One of the biggest challenges for most is the sheer size of it. It's long and steep with no reprieve and many people have never ridden anything remotely similar to it. Until you do, it's hard to imagine or plan for it. You need to prepare yourself for the idea of climbing non-stop anywhere from 1.5 hours (for a really fit and experienced cyclist) to three hours and beyond for those new to the sport or not entirely in fighting form. You need to get your head in the right place. It's suffering, so you need to figure out how to accept suffering for so long.
Make sure you plan properly. Get a good sleep the night before, eat the right food. Fill your pockets with food and warm clothes for the chilly decent (even in the middle of summer it can be very cold at the top) and bring as much liquid as you can, though there are spots to fill up. Find your pace, whatever it is. It's not a race, the goal is to get to the top. I have seen so many cyclists speed past me at the bottom, only to be off their bikes 500 metres down the road, heaving and panting. I am not a fan of stopping, so finding a pace that you can grind out for hours on end will help you get to the top without too many interruptions, and it will end the suffering faster. As soon as you reach the top, you'll forget all the pain and be giddy with the excitement of having tamed the beast. Chances are you'll start planning your next trip up before you've even reached the bottom again.
A while back I started a tradition of riding the Ventoux on my birthday. It's a great tradition and one we've had to be flexible about as weather and health don't always play along. But we always aim to go sometime around then, which we did just last week. Jason wanted to do his three times up again, and I wanted to attempt more than once. Jason had one of his best days, and even shaved off some time from last year (he seems to get faster with each passing attempt, I'm beginning to think I need to search his bike for a hidden motor!) I had one of my best trips up from Bédoin with an excellent mindset, no bugs and very little wind, it seemed to pass rather quickly. It all went to hell on the second time up from Sault when the sun dipped, it got cooler, and all that amazing mental well-being seemed to disappear into the wind. Every kilometre felt like torture, so I can say without hesitation, your mind is truly one of the most important factors to success. I am still so impressed with Jason's ability to endure all three sides in one day, year after year, but I am really not sure I have it in me. I won't stop going up the Ventoux though, the siren song of the beast is impossible to resist.
Cycling Tip: If you're new to cycling and you want to get better, ride with people who are very experienced. Ride with people who are much better than you. Learn bikes skills from people who have mad bike skills. It's daunting to ride with people like this, but it's the best way to learn. Fast doesn't equal skilled. Fast without skills is actually dangerous for you and other cyclists out there. It's good to know people at your level for days when you just want to get out and take it easy, but if you want to learn, learn from the best. I've been chasing extremely talented cyclists my whole life, and it can be demoralizing, but it makes you a better cyclist.

2 Considerations When Choosing A Roofing Material For A Victorian-Inspired Bungalow
Posted on: 17 August 2016
Victorian-inspired bungalow styles include the Queen Anne Bungalow and the Tudor Bungalow. These styles alter the small stature and simple layout of a classic bungalow with asymmetry, wooden eave accents, and other features typically found on a Victorian home.
While the two styles differ in the details, both have gable-style roofs, which feature only two sides that rise to a peak. The Tudor has the more traditional, steep-sloping gable while the Queen Anne has a modified mid-slope variety. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of these roof types, combined with the general styles of the homes, can help you choose the best roofing material when working with roofing contractors.
Avoid Asphalt in Windy Areas
Asphalt shingles offer a variety of positive features that include the affordable price, the relatively high durability considering that low price, and a catalog's worth of color, texture, and style options available. These composite shingles also have a light physical weight, which works out great for an easy installation but can cause issues if your roofs take on frequent, high winds.
When wind hits the side of your house, the force hits straight on. When wind hits the side of a gable roof, the wind can race up that side to the peak. This amplified, directed wind can take some of those lightweight asphalt tiles along for the ride.
You should consider how frequently your roof receives direct winds before determining whether or not this is a real risk on your home. You don't need any fancy instruments to measure the wind speed—you just look around your house. Do you have tall neighbors or trees on both sides that can help break up some of that wind before it gets to your house? Then asphalt damage likely won't be a problem.
Brace Yourself for Heavy Slate Tiles
Victorian homes have a natural, casual elegance that would seem to pair well with slate tile. But the open design of a gable roof, which allows for more indoor space, doesn't allow for a lot of bracing or support beams. The minimal bracing can mean that your Victorian-inspired bungalow doesn't have enough support in place to safely hold the heavy weight of slate tiles.
You can call your roofers in for a consultation to access the amount of bracing currently present. Your roofers might see an opportunity for adding more bracing, which could make slate tiles a possibility if you have your heart set on this material.Share

Best Options For Moving Long Distance
If you drive a truck you might be probably aware of a few of the special necessities of your automobile. I will say Budget truck rental additionally has a great popularity for being an affordable lengthy distance shifting alternative. So that's not what I was doing, but if you'd like we will compare Fords largest truck V8 to Chevy's or Dodge's we will do that too. I can't think about what it prices as we speak to fill 'er up. Great post, effectively written and really detailed on the pros and cons of UHaul rental.
But if that's not an possibility, you can all the time run over to the UPS Store or a Public Storage place and decide up some good large boxes and shifting boxes. Other notable manufacturers: Stick with brand names… and higher yet, keep on with brand names that your local interest shop carries so you can pick up spare elements on a moment's discover. We've applied one of the best know-how to these essential parts to offer you a strong, durable truck with a snug trip. The just one I've come across wherever near my space is a shell that fit a 1991 Nissan truck. A Dodge Ram buff can acquire memorabilia that reflect the passion she or he has for their truck.
If you'll be able to, switch to a smaller truck, such as the Colorado, and you're going to get higher gas mileage than from a full sized fuel powered truck. Most of these are as a consequence of electrical problems which might be principally cautionary, one for the Ram is for rear axle issues for trucks with guide transmissions. If you need some great craft beer or perhaps some sangria, you can find trucks that may take of all of that stuff. We want to have all the truck campers collectively fairly than scattered throughout the campground. Most fullsize trucks are about 24 inches from the top of the bed rails to the top of the cab.
We are looking ahead to the general public beta where the neighborhood for both video games will be able to consider and take a look at the present implementation. Fire trucks and ladder trucks are often confused as a result of a ladder truck is a truck, however a truck shouldn't be a ladder unit. Our food truck focuses on Wedding and Event Caterting from Westchester to Vermont and all over the place in between.
A dump truck or a tipper truck is a truck used for transporting unfastened material akin to sand, gravel or dirt to building sites. Parts availability is almost as good as the small block Chevy, if somewhat dearer. It looks as if the truck stops would have plenty of cash coming in to more than cover the prices of their washer/dryer/water/electricity usage.

A Mormon missionary from Utah held prisoner in Venezuela for the last two years begged for his freedom, claiming in a pair of videos shared to social media that an inmate revolt has put his life at risk.
"The people have taken the entire prison. They're outside. They're trying to break in. They're saying they want to kill me, they're saying they want me as their guarantee," Joshua Holt says in one clip, recorded inside Caracas' El Helicoide, or the Helix prison.
The 26-year-old American traveled to Venezuela in 2016 to marry a fellow Mormon he met online, according to NBC.
He was arrested following the wedding after local authorities alleged he was stockpiling weapons in his wife's family's apartment.
Holt and his family have repeatedly denied the allegations, but he has remained behind bars without trial. The State Department has also called the weapons charges against the Utah man "questionable."
"Help me please the united states, how long do I have to suffer unjustly in this place?" he wrote on Facebook. "They want to kill me and paint the walls with myblood. I am political prisoner and they won't let me free. They won't give me a true trial."
It's unclear how he was able to record the videos nor how he accessed the internet from the center for high-profile prisoners.
Inmates at the facility in separate clips posted online this week announced they'd taken over the detention center in Helicoide — the headquarters of Bolivarian National Intelligence Service or SEBIN — for torture and human rights violations.
The footage appears to show prisoners walking freely about the facility while others break locks and demand their release.
The United States Embassy said it was "very worried about the mutiny in Helicoide," adding that Holt and other Americans "are in danger."
"The Venezuelan government is directly responsible for its security and we will hold it responsible if something happens to them," the Embassy warned in a tweet.
The prison takeover comes just days before Venezuela's presidential election, which expected to be handed to current President Nicolas Maduro despite the staggering economic crisis there.
President Trump and his administration have previously blasted the election, threatening oil sanctions should it turn out in Maduro's favor.
"The sebin has told me that as long as my government continues attacking this government and as long as Marco Rubio continues to talking about me the longer they will never let me go," Holt wrote on Facebook Wednesday.
"Please my fellow Americans don't allow me to continue suffering Venezuaela I am not a political pawn."

Sam Sicilia would much rather play Bane than Batman inside the Octagon
Sam Sicilia knows what it's like to walk into an arena and not have a single fan in attendance cheer for him during a fight.
On two occasions, Sicilia has traveled to Brazil to face home country favorites and whether he could understand Portuguese or not, he got the idea that he wasn't a welcomed guest. In his last fight, Sicilia was competing with his job on the line against local fighter Godofredo Pepey, and whether the Brazilian crowd liked it or not, the former Ultimate Fighter competitor was not flying home to the United States with a loss on his record.
Especially not after the faith UFC president Dana White showed in him following two straight losses and a pink slip courtesy of the matchmakers.
"I know Dana's a man of his word. After those two losses, I got cut for like a day or two," Sicilia revealed when speaking to FOX Sports. "Cause on paper it made sense so the matchmaker cut me. And Dana after my loss to Maximo (Blanco) said 'you're not going anywhere, you lay it all on the line'. He said no you're not cut because I said it. He didn't have to do that. So then I had another shot and I had to make the boss man look brilliant so I had to go shuttle Pepey off."
After those two losses, I got cut for like a day or two. And Dana after my loss to Maximo (Blanco) said 'you're not going anywhere, you lay it all on the line.
"I put all that weight on myself and dumped it all on Pepey the poor guy. I had to carry that around for a long time. I'm like dammit Dana goes to bat for me and if I go out there and lose that's going to look terrible. We liked that matchup with Pepey and we took care of business and got the hell out of there."
Following two fights in Brazil against local fighters, Sicilia welcomed a bout at the upcoming UFC Fight Night show in Georgia and then he found out who he was facing. His opponent on Jan 15 will be Cole Miller - who just happens to hail from Augusta, Georgia, which sits about two hours east of where they will be fighting next Wednesday night.
Now some fighters might think the UFC is enjoying this little bit of matchmaking by continuously sending Sicilia into hostile territory, but as it turns out he actually welcomes the challenge now. Sicilia isn't necessarily looking to turn into Josh Koscheck or Michael Bisping when it comes to the highest levels of MMA villainy, but he enjoys playing spoiler for another fighter competing in their home area.
It's the reason Sicilia has found one particular superhero movie he likes to put on before every one of his fights. He can quote it line for line, but he's not cheering for the Caped Crusader to come out on top when the movie is over. Sicilia would much rather root on the bad guy.
"I watch The Dark Knight Rises like 100 times before I go fight and just go out there and be Bane," Sicilia said. "I don't mind being the bad guy. After that we'll have our fight, and I wish Cole Miller the best from Jan 16 on, but on the 15th I'm invading his hometown.
"They send me these places to be the bad guy and I kind of like that role really. I'm okay with it."
Sicilia might even have a familiar greeting for Miller once they meet in the middle of the Octagon.
"Let's not stand on ceremony, Mr. Miller," Sicilia said with a laugh while quoting the character Bane from the film.
Before he competes in Georgia, Sicilia will once again draw inspiration from his favorite movie although he's still quite angry at how the movie ended. No matter how many times he watches, Bane just can't seem to come out on top and defeat Batman.
Director Christopher Nolan isn't likely to go back and re-write the conclusion of The Dark Knight Rises any time soon, so Sicilia will have to live with making his own ending when he faces Miller in his backyard. In his version of the story, Sicilia as Bane breaks Miller's Batman and he never rises again.

I'm here at the LIVEWORX tech conference in Boston, at which I am a presenter. Today I get to enjoy attending amazing sessions on IoT, AR/VR, robotics, and other topics. A great session by David Kellner of Welch Allyn. David presented on how Welch Allyn approaches product design. Many of their principles incorporate design thinking.
Consider diabetic retinopathy: less than 50% of diabetics get their annual eye exam. Welch Allyn produces the RetnaVue Imager for a non-mydriatic exam and gives full color images. It connects wirelessly and has a modular design.
"Layering connectivity on top of an existing product because you can is not often a successful solution."
- You have to start with a deep understanding of the customer problem space: why they do what they do, what motivates them, what frustrates them.
- Commit to a lot of deep hanging out, observing, and asking questions.
- Be humble and embrace your ignorance.
- Expect things to change so keep going back.
- Good products come from teams of smart engineers, developers, and technicians.
- Great products come from knowing your customers and their needs better than anyone else.

You will have to look at those with little budgets and go for the photographers who will be enough for your budget. You must always get the services that the people will be able to perform each time.

Ensure the photographer is a person whom you can easily talk to. In the case that their personality does not match then consider a case where you will be able to interact with the guests well. You will need to be sure that they are people who can go along well with the other people around to make them feel comfortable as well. You are required to tell the photographer all details on the time so that they may be able to have ample preparation time before the big day. The best way is to find the photographer well scheduled for the day so ensure you share with them the date, time and even location for an ample preparation time. This will be the key to getting the services right on time.

There are two things wrong with employee assistance programs (EAPs). One is that employees don't know anything about them, the other is that supervisors don't know how to tap into them.
According to Carolyn McCann, a community relations representative for Princeton HealthCare System, companies set up EAPs to provide workers with company-sponsored counseling services, but often do not understand the value of the resource. And often, when EAPs are tapped into, it is so late in the game that minor issues require major repair.
On Friday, January 6, Princeton HealthCare will launch a monthly luncheon program intended to help companies and employers understand the value of what they have.
The series will feature presentations on various health and counseling topics on the first Friday of each month, beginning at 12:30 p.m. at the PHCS Community Education and Outreach Office at 731 Alexander Road. The sessions are free and lunch is provided, but registration is necessary. E-mail email@example.com for more details.
The program, says McCann, will stress prevention and will feature topics such as dealing with difficult employees, workplace violence, and managing drug and alcohol abuse issues for supervisors.
Monthly sessions will be conducted by PHCS workers who regularly present on-site seminars to employees on topics such as conflict resolution, stress management, and balancing work and family. The series' opening salvo will be an introduction to an EAP and its benefits.
EAP is "confidential, short-term counseling for employees and family members," paid for by the employer, McCann says. Programs are intended to help employees through tough times at work or home, but they also are supposed to offer ways for employees to get more out of their work day. If a problem is serious, such as substance abuse or addiction, company supervisors are supposed to refer employees toward external help.
But EAPs are not often talked about in companies, McCann says. In some cases it is because of the stigma people attach to counseling. But in a lot of other cases, she says, managers and supervisors do not tap into the programs until it comes down to the point of firing someone. Supervisors simply do not know how to recognize signs of trouble with an employee until it escalates into something obvious, such as aggression.
Valerie Salico, Princeton HealthCare's EAP program manager, says behaviors such as excessive tardiness, withdrawal, or excessive absenteeism are clear — and early — signs of trouble ahead. Princeton HealthCare's EAP programs provide tools supervisors need to recognize these behaviors in employees and provide preventative intervention.
By the time a company is ready to fire someone for problem behavior, McCann says, it's often too late for the company and the employee to settle the situation easily. "It costs big money to fire someone and hire someone new," she says. And the employee, already angry, is now angry and rejected.
PHCS provides its services via a yearly contract that allows companies to tap into PHCS's array of counseling resources. Generally, Salico says, the most common reason employees tap into an EAP is general stress, whether at home or at work. Many people need help balancing work and home lives, and many seek counseling regarding how to deal with a co-worker. But PHCS's counselors see people struggling with marriage or legal problems too, as well as those contending with depression or anxiety. "Really, people call us for everything," Salico says.
Part of the thrust behind the program, McCann says, is to show companies how an EAP can be good for business. A happier employee is a more engaged employee, and any employee that can be reached before trouble brews is far less likely to become disruptive (or even destructive) to the company.
"We want this to be more about prevention," McCann says. "Too often when people find out about us I hear 'I wish I would have known sooner.'"

Well, I finally got dressed this morning, after spending most of the last several days in my pajamas and focusing all day long—and into the night—on Stampin' Up!'s upcoming leadership conference.
I'm excited about what I'm doing at leadership, and I've had so much fun working on the projects for my main stage demonstration. But it's taken a lot of time, and I have to admit I'm feeling a little stressed.
When I say I spent most of the past few days in my pajamas, I'm really not exaggerating. I did get dressed yesterday and attended church, and I got dressed on Friday night to attend our son-in-law Jon's art show. I mentioned earlier that he'd graduated in December with a degree in photography, and he's participating in a one-month art show/gallery walk in downtown Provo, Utah, that opened on Friday.
I went with Shalae and Jon and their children to check things out—loved the eclectic feel of the café/gallery and loved Jon's photos even more.
Shalae read the blog recently and said, "Mom, you need to explain why you mention us so often in the blog! Your readers will think I'm the favorite or something!"
As I looked back on my posts, I realize I do mention her a lot, so I could see her point—they do pop up a lot! But the explanation isn't because we love them more, it's simply that they live closer and, in Shalae's words, "We impose on you a lot!"
Of course, spending time with our girls and their families is never an imposition! I love every minute we spend with family. Shalae and Jon live only a couple of miles away, and they do drop by often. Sage and Jason are the next closest. They live only about a half hour away, but that half hour makes a difference!
So, that's why you see Shalae and her family a bit more than the others!
Now, I'm heading off to leadership, and I probably won't post for a few days. I'm still wrapping up a few details on a couple of my projects tomorrow, rehearsing on Wednesday, and the party begins on Thursday! I'll let you all know how it goes—and hopefully I'll see a few of you there!

BABE #129: JENNIFER MINCHELLA COMEE, Owner/Operator @ The Rosy Cheek
We first connected with Jen when she volunteered her time + talent to do makeup for a styled shoot with one of our favorite Jacksonville nonprofits, Rethreaded. While making us feel hella pretty, she also taught us a little bit about organic skincare and a lot about how much she cares for her biz. She's a sweet, authentic soul who loves a damn good meal, Led Zeppelin, and stocking her beauty bar + apothecary shop with the best, most ethically-formulated products. Thanks for chatting with us, Jen! You are most certainly a hustlin' babe.
The Basics:
Hometown: Atlanta, GA
Current city: Jacksonville, FL
Alma mater: A drawn-out stint in community college before I dropped out.
Degree: Licensed Medical Aesthetician
Very first job: I worked at The Body Shop during the "scrunchie era" at 15 years old.
Hustle: Owner|Operator at The Rosy Cheek beauty bar + apothecary.
The Interests:
Babe you admire and why?
Miranda July. She's an author, screenwriter, actor, director, artist—the list goes on. I really enjoy what she writes; it's weird, dark and subversive. She is very unique.
How do you spend your free time?
Nesting, cooking and traveling if we're lucky. I love going out to eat and having a nice dinner at the bar. (And let's just say it, Netflix is real high up there, too.)
Favorite app, website or blog?
Vestiaire Collective, where you can buy and sell luxury brand items. I bought my wedding gown with profits from reselling. I guess you can call it my side hustle.
Favorite fictional female character?
Claire Underwood from House of Cards. What a multifaceted, dangerous and sexy woman. A villain and a hero—she scares the shit out of me.
Go-to coffee order?
Macchiato during the week and honey lattes for the weekend. Always Bold Bean on Stockton.
Go-to adult beverage?
The Miley Cyrus. (It's a super dirty gin martini with blue cheese stuffed olives.)
Favorite Harry Potter book?
As long as it's read by Jim Dale, I'm happy. Thank God for Audible, my other favorite app.
What would you eat for your very last meal?
Start with a dozen raw oysters and martini, followed by lobster tail and a 16 oz. medium-rare New York strip steak with creamed corn and baked potato. Top it off with crème brûlée and a cognac or espresso.
Three things we can always find in your fridge?
Kerrygold Irish Butter, nut milk and frozen green beans for my dog.
Go-to news source?
I listen to The Daily's podcast while I make coffee or begin my walk. NPR on my drive to work and nymag.com throughout the day.
Favorite social media account to follow?
Julie O'Rourke of @rudyjude. She's a momma and designer, and her effortlessly curated account has made me want to move to Maine and spend the rest of my days in the snowy woods in a beautiful home, wearing snuggly oversized monochromatic clothing.
If you could have coffee with anyone in the world, who would it be?
Anaïs Nin; her erotica blew my teenage mind. I want to hear all about her time with Henry Miller, a favorite writer of mine.
What's one thing you wish you knew more about?
That's a list, but I'd love to speak Italian fluently.
What's something that not many people know about you?
I used to have an infatuation with big trucks. After high school, I drove an old lifted Jeep with 33 x 13.50 Super Swampers. I had the bright Hella lights attached and pulled out the back seat so I could load up friends in the back to go muddin'! Makeup artists can be tomboys, too.
The Hustle:
Tell us about your hustle.
I'm the Owner + Operator at The Rosy Cheek, a beauty bar and apothecary shop in St. Augustine, FL. I've got my fingers in all the pies, but "hustle" to me, means "make shit happen now."
What does your typical workday look like?
Lately it starts really early. I'm annoyingly chipper when I wake up (sorry, babe). At 5 a.m. I have a coffee on the couch and listen to a news podcast. I try to post something on Instagram before my 7 a.m. walk. I really take my time making breakfast and getting ready. It's my personal time; this ritual is slow and easy. I open the shop at 11 a.m., and once the store is prepped I begin checking my emails. (I had no idea how much email would take over my life!) When the shoppers roll in, I'm very interactive. It's important to explain the products and get guests to sample as much as possible. Checking inventory and remerchandising is something I do daily. Thankfully, everyday is different, so sometimes I'm "in the field" doing bridal makeup or editorial work for local photographers or magazines. During the week if I'm "off," I'll ship products or attend to meetings about upcoming events. Really, there is always something to do.
What inspired The Rosy Cheek? What has your journey with the shop looked like so far?
I was really inspired by local specialty shops in cities like New York, Austin and Portland. I wanted the inside of The Rosy Cheek to be welcoming and warm like a coffee shop, and to be filled with products that don't always trickle down to Northeast Florida. It's always changing and growing in here, figuring out where products will move the fastest. Right now I'm hoping to get my husband to rebuild our makeup area now that we've been open long enough for me to understand how to best utilize the space.
Have you always had a love for the beauty industry?
I've always loved makeup and skincare. I started using both at a young age, as I suffered from acne. First I learned how to cover my skin with makeup, but eventually I realized how important it was to take care of my skin. I started seeing an esthetician while living overseas about seven years ago. She changed my skin and changed my life, and I vowed to study skincare as soon as I moved back home. For the first time in my life, at 28, I had a career goal and followed through after completing two long years in night school earning my license.
How much variation is there in your job description between physically doing makeup, to stocking and marketing and running the shop?
I do equal parts of each job. In the past, lack of variation caused me to get bored and slack off. This spinning wheel of job roles keeps me creative—and keeps me from crashing.
What draws you to the beauty industry versus other components of retail?
I know the beauty industry; it's been a part of my life for 12 years. I'm also a consumer, so it's my passion and it's always evolving.
What keeps you anchored to Northeast Florida?
Between my husband and I we have three companies here. This has locked us in for the time being—that and our family. Jacksonville will always be home to us, but we really hope to head up North one day.
How has owning a business influenced other aspects of your personal life?
I have met so many incredible women that I am happy to call friends. These gals, fellow business owners in St. Augustine and Jacksonville, have embraced me in their circle and welcomed me into a community of endless support. Sadly, I have also lost some friends along the way. Starting a business in conjunction with getting married has shifted my priorities. I still like to cut loose and be spontaneous, but not as often as I used to.
Do you feel a sense of purpose in your work?
Hell yes! I have the power to change the way a person sees their reflection. With the right products, I can help a woman preserve her healthy skin or clear up acne. I love that this community now has access to these amazing products, and I only want to bring them more.
How has being a woman has affected your professional experience?
While in the beauty industry, I never felt being a women affected my professional experience. If anything, I was surrounded by strong women and gender was not a big deal. However, in past job roles as a young woman working in male-dominated environments, I often felt incredibly sexualized. With the current breakthrough of #metoo, I finally realize the way I was treated was not acceptable.
Do you ever feel like your age is an advantage or disadvantage in your career?
It's 100 percent an advantage. At this point in my career, I can relate to all women. Ten years ago I may have sounded foolish promoting eye cream and wrinkle serums. Not now. We're going through it together. I share the problems most women face. It's also embarrassingly easy to hang with the young things and understand their needs while talking about millennial trends.
What are some common misconceptions about your job?
That it's easy or "glamorous," for lack of a better word. The truth is, I have never lost so much sleep in my life. I'm always working. Even if it's 7 p.m. and I have a cocktail in my hand, most of the time it's a work event and I don't have the luxury of going home and putting my feet up.
What are some of the everyday struggles with your job that we might not see?
Communicating with distributors can be a frustrating struggle. Also, understanding the accounting aspects and educating myself on business terms and tax information is super unglamorous but important.
Who are the brands, businesses or people you'd most like to collaborate with?
I'd love to have a small "Rosy Cheek" in a few boutique hotels—maybe one in Costa Rica and one in Asheville, N.C.
What would you say is your biggest strength in your current role?
My ability to connect with different personalities. When people trust me or we can relate, they will invest in the products I offer. They know they are getting take care of and I will meet their needs.
Who are some women in your field that you look to for inspiration?
Where do I begin? Gwynne Mims Minter is a rockstar. Kim Snead over at DRIFT Boutique has been an inspiration for years. Rachel Roberts of Oyl + Water has a wealth of knowledge. Let's talk about you gals at Babes Who Hustle, drawing us all together on common ground and shining a light on all these badass ladies. The inspiration is endless. [Editor's note: we're blushing.]
What's your ultimate dream job?
I'd love to get flown to Europe to do makeup for a fashion shoot or wedding.
What advice would you give to a babe trying to break into your industry?
There is a lot of obvious advice and maybe this is adding to it, but make sure you have raised or saved plenty of capital to start. You are not going to make a whole lot of money in the beginning while working out all of the kinks. Be prepared.
What motivates and inspires you?
My husband. His work ethic is unwavering no matter the circumstance. He makes me want to work harder than I have before.
What does success look like to you?
Waking up each morning with a smile on my face and love in my heart.
What are some notable experiences you've had on the job?
I could write a book of stories from the days I spent giving Brazilian bikini waxes.
What are your goals for the future?
Lots of long-term goals. It's a dream at the moment, but I'd love to open another location in Jacksonville. Maybe it would have a different name, but I would serve provisions, potions and lattes made with the wellness goods I carry: golden milk lattes, creamy Beauty Dust smoothies and tonics. I visualize a small grocery area with hard-to-find wellness products. Very The Butcher's Daughter meets French Pharmacy. I'm all over the place with that goal, but it's definitely something I can't stop thinking about.
Career and/or life advice for other babes?
Know that no matter how menial your jobs seems leading up to your career, you are not inferior to anyone around you. Everyone has their own ladder to climb. They all look different, and it's not a race. Absorb every bit of knowledge thrown your way, and if all else fails make sure you dominate in customer service.

text: I took the transmission off the jack and on some shop rags. I had to raise the car up about another 1/4", but I was able to slide it under the frame. I had no issues pulling the engine out. Miraculously had enough clearance with the louvres on and enough behind the car to lower it onto a furniture dolly.

At Geneva next week, we will see revealed a transformative vision of future automotive adaptability. We will see revealed a sports car that quickly changes into a "sports van" for three people. We will see (drum roll, please) . . . the iChange. You can also see a really boring video here.
Like its predecessor, the submersible sQuba, the iChange makes waves. A handsome low-slung beauty (but with rear fender skirts!), the car is powered by lithium-ion batteries driving an electric motor the company claims will propel it to 137 mph and get it from 0 to 60 mph in just over 4 seconds.
An iPhone controls "the most important vehicle functions." Imagine driving this thing at 200 km/h while fiddling with your iPhone, giving new meaning to the phrase "brain-free, hands-free driving." There's a special Harman/Kardon sound system that uses less energy, a dual heating system (electric for short distances, ethanol powered for longer ones), special wool for the interior, solar panels for the roof, and on and on. The car aims to be both mean and green.
Says Rinspeed founder and resident change agent Frank Rinderknect, "If we want to maintain our individual mobility in the future we have to rethink the car in its entirety, without taboos. Most of all, we have to take its ecological aspects into consideration."
Who knows how far Frank's crazy ideas will go? We think he had a particularly good one for the E2 concept, a Fiat 500 that will switch from 60 to 160 hp. More on that later this week.
If we have to "rethink the car in its entirety," where would you start? How far would you go?

This week, we talk to one of Macquarie's experts about stress and remind you of the services available across our University to support you.
Most of us will experience stress at some time. For some it means a tightening of the chest, a faster heartbeat and racing thoughts. For others it can lead to anxiety and depression.
"Long-term or chronic stress can have a negative impact on an individual's health and wellbeing," says Professor Jennie Hudson, Director, Centre for Emotional Health.
Stress can be unpleasant and many of us have experienced one or more of the symptoms.
Chronic stress has been associated with a number of physical diseases and can lead to heart problems and mental health issues.
Taking regular breaks and going on holidays are some of the ways to reduce the negative impact that stress has on your life. Holidays provide the opportunity to develop stronger relationships with friends and family. They also offer an opportunity to learn and grow as a person and a family unit.
"Experiencing new things can lead to new learning which can increase mastery and resourcefulness," says Professor Hudson in the HBF Healthy Family Holidays Report.
This then leads to increased skills and abilities that can have a positive impact on your work life. Research also shows that taking regular breaks leads to increased workplace productivity, making it better for both you and the organisation.
We know taking regular breaks and going on holidays can help. But what's available here on campus?
- The staff wellbeing portal, which has information on physical and mental health and the services available at Macquarie.
- The Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which provides counselling for a range of areas including relationships, work/life balance, vocational goals, managing change, anxiety, depression, physical wellbeing, interpersonal conflict and more. Counselling can be delivered face-to-face in the EAP office on Epping Road, or via LiveChat, email, phone and video conferencing.
- managerAssist® for managers and team leaders, which provides a senior consultant to discuss strategies, options and approaches to help employees to thrive and perform.
- Training and Development courses for staff, including Mental Health Awareness and Building your Emotional Resilience. Register via HR Online after notifying your manager.
- The Sport and Aquatic Centre, a.k.a. the gym, which has great deals for staff.
- uMassage in the Campus Hub, which offers Reflexology, Cupping, Acupuncture and Massage.
The Centre for Emotional Health Clinic, which offers support and treatment for a range of issues, including anxiety and stress, shyness and social anxiety, depression or low mood, parenting difficulties, post traumatic stress disorder, trauma, loss and grief.
The Centre for Emotional Health (CEH) conducts specialist clinical research aimed at furthering the understanding of child and adult emotional disorders, as well as continually improving methods of treatment. It is a Macquarie University Centre for research excellence. The Centre is under the directorship of Professor Jennie Hudson, an internationally recognised, leading researcher in the field of youth anxiety.

..by far. and i've played through all of them. also, in contrast to the many gamers who got bored by the series, i've enjoyed every part a lot - up until this one.
i don't know what the people at neversoft were smoking while they were designing this game. it's like they thought "hey, we'll just throw away all the great basic functionality that made our games great and replace them with crappy stuff that makes for horrible gameplay".
take for example the camera... why don't they just glue it to the ground? the fact that it's not centered behind and - more importantly - above the player any more makes finding e.g. markers on the ground and hitting targets precisely much more difficult than it used to be.
then there's the new balancing scale - what's that all about? that damn thing is all over the screen. i guess the old one was too subtle and easy to handle.
they also figured "ah... who needs a special meter... we had that since... [ can't remember any more - i'm guessing part 2] but who cares about that anyway?" and for taking this one feature out they've thrown in like ten new ones about which i don't really care for.
and just on a side-note - the overall design of the city is incredibly boring.
and on another side-note - keeping all those huge changes in mind, what do you think about the fact that neversoft says that with the tony hawk game they will release this year, they want to do something completely new, in order to keep up with the competition (skate)? what was THPG then? that thing featured more changes than ever before and it turned out to be crap - so what will a game be like when the developers actually set their mind on creating something completely different? but well... back to this game.
what i have to give it credit for is the huge amount of goals and the great-as-always soundtrack. but that's it. if i wouldn't be so addicted to tony hawk games, i probably wouldn't have played it longer than an hour or so.
so if you're a fan of the series like i am, you might still enjoy it, even though you might feel like a masochist at the same time - to other people i'd strongly recommend playing just ANY older part.

Spring 2016 Burns Visiting Scholar in Irish Studies Lecture
Fifty Ways to Cleave Your Brother: Mayhem, Mischief, & Misfits in Medieval Irish Monasteries
Wednesday, March 2, 4:30 p.m.
Thompson Room, John J. Burns Library
Please join us for a lecture by Dr. Colmán Ó Clabaigh, a Benedictine monk of Glenstal Abbey, Co. Limerick, and a medievalist specializing in the history of monasticism and religion in Late Medieval Ireland.
Although St Benedict's Rule describes the monastery as a "household of God," human frailty has meant that the reality is always more complicated. Dr. Ó Clabaigh explores how ethnic rivalry, madness, alcohol abuse and personal ambition impacted the religious communities of late medieval Ireland.
The Boston College University Libraries and the Center for Irish Programs cordially invite you to attend a reception honoring Dr. Ó Clabaigh in the Library's Irish Room immediately following his lecture.
This event is free and open to the public but please let us know if you plan to attend by registering here: Burns Scholar lecture
For more information about Dr. Ó Clabaigh and his research and publications, please visit bc.edu/burns.
For further information about the lecture, including directions and parking, please call (617) 552-3282.

writing a research paper. Phrases like cries of the small children from not having enough to eat and dirt stained rags seem like descriptions, but they're really closer to incurious and completely hackneyed generalizations. Learn how you will integrate information gathered during research into the outlines mentioned above. You can refer to tables and charts as Table 1, 2, 3, etc. VIP Voice's 5,000 Scholarship, and easy to enter scholarships like. When you speak in a debate, you introduce your topic, list your evidence and draw a conclusion for the people who are listening. As all of this realization came at once, I felt overwhelmed by the weight of what was to come. Some exceptions might be if you did something in a very, very different mindset from the one youre in now (in the midst of escaping from danger, under severe coercion, or when you were very young, for example). Can you use Wikipedia? It just makes this author sound dismissive of a huge swath of the population.
Do this before you make any intellectual analysis of the picture.
Immediate, unprepared and unguarded observation will often tell you more about the content communicated by the painting than rigorous analysis.
