Whenever the mood strikes, it hits me hard. Today, I pooled together my crafty and baking skills to make some end of the year gifts for my dedicated yoga and ballet students at Zooga Yoga. Today’s project: cinnamon salt dough ornaments with inspirational words stamped into them. After they bake, they will be strung onto…

Starting Off with a Bang!
And just like that, I woke up and realized that we’re already a quarter of the way through 2012! That last few months of 2011, I spent analyzing my actions vs. progress and have shifted focus to become more streamlined. In the on-camera realm, an updated, yet still diverse look has added to marketability (more…

The Craig’s List Casting

It is true that sifting through the muck on such a site can be difficult, however the same can be said for “industry standard” casting sites. No-pay, deferred upon sale, copy and credit…Where is the WORK? While much of the legit paid…
