N'You Love

I forgot how awesome pole makes me feel. I went to the studio today after not going for about 2.5 weeks. Although my session was short, I felt AMAZING afterward. I’m not sure what to attribute that feeling to. The fact that I’m contorting and lifting my body in ways I never thought were possible for me. So I’m surprised and proud of myself? Or is it that those endorphins really do kick in after all? Whatever it is. Whatever makes me feel  amazing and that I can do anything, is something I wish I can bottle and share with everyone. Confidence in yourself is something we all need to unleash our fullest potential in life. So whatever you do, if it makes you happy and feel on top of the world (granted it elicits no ill to others)…KEEP DOING IT!!! Poling makes me feel amazing and I’ll keep doing it until the day I physically can’t. 

I’m in the process of organizing how I can tackle all of my passions simultaneously. A lot of what I want to do requires me to become more educated first. Searching for the right programs and paths to take while abroad is slightly overwhelming. However, it is soooo much fun! Discovering new studies, books, doctors, businesses, methods that I’ve never heard of before is so exciting. It’s invigorating! I have so much to look forward to in these next few months. Life is beautiful and full of mysteries to be solved. 

I’m hoping this quest to awesomeness helps me utilize the remaining 90% of my brain that we are said to tuck away in the attics.

This year, my pole teacher and myself decided to have a Halloween Party at the studio. I haven’t been participating in Halloween too much since living in Korea, so this year I wanted to do something fun, creative and something I’ve never done before. So I decided to portray this look. I watched several videos, pictures and played in my makeup once before to get an idea of what to do for the day. 

I LOVED the result. I think it came out great for someone who never has the winged eyeliner the same on both eyes. 

This is the photo I had open while doing my face (found on google):

I had so much fun with this. This was the first time I went all out with making myself up. The makeup took me over an hour to do. 

Some Youtube videos that I’ve seen and adored:

As you’ll notice I took pointers from all of them, decided what would suit me and performed. 

Yes! I poled in full face. SO.MUCH.FUN!

Today as I prep for my dance, I miss my lovers. ALL of them back home. I appreciate the new bonds Ive made but I miss my old chickies and dudes.

For the last couple of nights I haven’t been able to get some good sleep. When I hit the pillow, choreography and the manuscript I was writing for work were on my mind. Aaaaaahhh. But it’s all in good fun! Can’t wait for the vertical performance. In the words of Borat, I’m so excite! Let’s just hope this excitement allows me to get some restful sleep.

I’ve got a Halloween Pole Party coming up in a few weeks that I’m prepping for. I LOVE this time of get choreography, fitness, costumes and arrangements together. It makes me feel alive!!!
