BELATED 2012 Recap!

Hey-o! I'm back! After having been neglectful for almost a year (in true Te$$ Money form, naturally!) here I am, back at it again. I really want to try and get better at this "being consistent" thing - it is forever a foreign idea that seems so good but is so hard in practice for an ultra impatient spass like me. But I've got so many things coming my way (ie. emergence of my superhero league of beauty makers, projects for big time production companies, the never ending stream of knock-your-socks-off editorials, and collaborations with foxy darlings galore - like, what?!) that I really want to have this in place so that I can have a vessel in which to gibber gabber at my heart's content! So okay, attempt number six hundred and forty two at TE$$ MONEY BLOGS DOT COM, alright?! Lets do this! Huzzah!

It has been eight months. Eight months is a long time; in New York, it's like half a lifetime! There is no good way to share with you ALL of the inspiring, tear jerking, frustrating, beautiful and for a lack of a better word, crazy things that happened in 2012. So I'm gonna let a series of instagrabs from my instastash do the instatelling (wanna instafriend me? tessxmoney!) for me! Enjoy the mini recap and do something spectacular today!

Retrospective: SF in April 2012

I woke up feeling rather pensive and melancholy. Maybe it's the sound of money draining out of my bank account, or maybe it's the very humbling dinner I had last night with Debbi, Io Waters and Dylan Monroe. I'm in my dream city, the weather's beautiful and all I can think about is how much I miss my friends back home. Not to say that I want to move back to California. I'd just like to put all my friends in a cardboard box, tape it up tightly and ship them all here so I can be in the city of my dreams AND have all the love, too! 

But, short of having that, I guess a reflective photo blog post will have to be good enough. April was a month filled with lots of farewell dinners, lots and lots of farewell parties, a hundred thousand hugs and a million kisses. My friends are so great and no matter where they are, I'm lucky to have them! 

I love that I've accepted Matt as being Matt but Twinkie is still Twinkie!

Amy ordered food that is bigger *gasp* than her SAS (Standard Asian Size) head.

No one was ready. Except me, because I'm always photo-ready! *~DIVA~*

At least I have this guy with me in New York. <3

I hear boob punching is the new planking.

Still working on building a family out here. You know what they say: you can't build entire families in a month and a half at a new city. What, you've never heard that one before?

Back to life, 2012 style!

Hello, friends! Hello!

I must start off by apologizing for my absence. I have completely neglected this blog for a good year and a half. Oh my! Where did the time go?! So much has transpired in the time I was gone and there is no good way to recap my time away, so let's just say... I've been busy. The last time I wrote in here, I was back at my parents'. Since then, I've moved to San Francisco, become homeless, found a home, became a barista, got lots of new tattoos, got an amazing boyfriend, quit my job, moved to New York... et cetera et cetera.

The point is, I'm back! And here for good (I hope), with a new purpose. I'll be focusing a lot more on what's going on in my life, what new things I'll be freaking out over (mostly shoes probably), and most importantly, showing you guys the work I'm doing in New York as a makeup artist.

Before I delve into my new life though, I feel that I owe you a photographic recap of the past year. So here I present to you, my poor excuse of a flashback: A look at 2011 through a series of some Grade-A iPhone photos.

Here's to looking back and starting anew! See you again soon!

Ciao!
