Duh.
Today I started school again since my semester off.
Last semester, a couple of days before school I severely burned my leg and ended up needing to receive skin graft surgery. Even though I healed like a superwoman I was out for the semester and it killed me!
I love school.
No, not the teachers, other students or the chalkboards but the educational part. The learning among your peers though you may grasp it a little quicker. I missed the homework (that never made it home), the structure, the progressive routine. I remember having practice for gymnastics in the early morning then school, then fashion show practice. I was at my best, fullest, busiest, and happiest. I lived and am going to live a progressive life.
What I don't miss however are stupid/simple/basic people.
The thought or notion that being slow is acceptable.
-_-Why bother coming?
Or keeping a facade that says on thing when your aura speaks differently?
You can be beautiful, talented and intellectual.
Try it.
Duh.

Common X Sweet X Drake Dissin
Common Common Common, I love me some Common. I muted this video for a minute and just looked at him... Yumm
But onto the dissing. It's um whatever. His feelings, his music. Drake comes back at it in his newest song with Rick Ross and French Montana.
All is well that ends well.
Stay Schemin'

Another day in Atlanta.
A couple of weeks ago @728Fashionmag and I (@Nik_gold) had a photoshoot with Atlanta's own @CoCokissatl22 rapper/model/entertainer.
It was a fun experience, she is a sweetheart I noted as I got to interview her for 7/28 Magazine, I loved working with good vibes, talented people and lots of material.
I was styling jewelry and creative directing on this one as I felt the aura, the passion and saw a vision!
All in all it was a Grade A photo shoot and I cannot wait for more work with @728fashionmag!
If you aren't following them on twitter do so for updates, fashion and more in Nashville and Atlanta!
Earrings by me.

This Year
This year I'm working on finishing everything I start.
I have a bad tendency of putting things off until a tomorrow that never comes.
Procrastinating and giving up per say when things don't work out.
Like just now. This crampy A computer just crashed my web browser that was uploading a picture for my blog.
The old me would have logged the hell off and kept it moving.
It's 1 in the morning and I'm fed up with sloppy technology.
But no, I didn't.
A new year won't change you but a new mindset will.

Advice
There are three parts to this post because I've recently been busying myself and realized a lot of novel ideas/opinions when it comes to advice.
1. The main advice I was given when it came to my brand name is keep it moving... In the best way of course. Keep progressing and moving fast forward, however because people like to imitate instead of innovate I was warned to keep the newest projects under wraps. This is probably the bitterest advice given since I love to spread my ideas and new workings so I will have to find a balance between the two. Plus, my blog is MY blog. I express my feelings, journey, opinions etc and if I want to share something so be it, anything else done after me will literally be in my footsteps.
2. Not all advice should be taken into consideration. I only say this because the old saying about you expressing your problems and "80% are happy you have it 20% don't care" is mostly true (mostly). If they do give you advice it's based off of THEIR feelings, THEIR experiences, THEIR emotions, not yours. So the best person to seek is God first, look into yourself for what your'e really looking for and then family/friends. I call it my inner to outer rule.
3. Advice is what it is... Warning, caution and opinion in the end you can take it or leave it.
