A state of ethical dilemma doubting whether homewards is where we've lived or where we want to be.

Coastal flow, Himalayan mightiness, jungle wilderness, on-the-road swagger, or metropolitan buzz?

Each region and landscape brings out a different version of ourselves, internally and externally. Some make you vocal and light, some silent and loud within. Some make you observe the intricacies of gathered people, others make you a movement lover.

A bit of everything keeps stirring the stew of life. Take in a whiff, or even better, taste, every now and then. Heck, dip your toes in and even go knee deep often. You'll feel elated, melancholy, rage, longing, love, hate, pleasure, tickles, ragged, and a string of emotions that appreciate your acknowledgement.

Putting my memory to the test here. Despite all the admirable ice, snow, and winter shades around, I still wondered and worried about all the waste we generate in our day to day.

Can we please take steps individually to avoid plastic packaging? To segregate our waste? To choose eco-friendly products that biodegrade naturally in days or weeks? To reuse, recycle, upcycle?

Climate change is crushing the soul of our planet. 100s of acres of trees are vanishing overnight. Animal species are getting wiped out. Natural habitats and becoming unnatural urban uglies. Glaciers are melting. Rivers are either drying or overflowing. And we're still gross victims of mindless overconsumption underpinned by below-par consciousness.

We got this. Together.

I bow to the joy and privilege of learning a life long. Something good i must have done in previous life’s to collect such good karma to meet these humble and kind humans. What is learning if not with laughter? With the sparkle of curiosity, a warm heart, and persistence. Let me come as a blank sheet open for wisdom to pour in me. Let me flow with your river and surrender to your banks as the melody of life carries me. May the light always shine through from our ancestral Earth.

Weather has been kind and the city is beautiful. Lighting forced the camera out and turned a catchup into photo session.

Let me know if you also want one with yours ::)

A healthy workplace starts with healthy people.

And that’s why at Made You Look we took a pause. 💆

The biggest thank you and the warmest hug to @lavanya__lavakumar for helping put together the most healing session. We truly took a a much needed breath 🧘

@bae_king__ A delicious end to a wonderful morning. Thank you for putting this wonderful wholesome smoothie bowl together. We really couldn’t get enough 🤤

As hairstylists, we’re never told just how physically and emotionally exhausting this profession can be.

We often underestimate the strain, the injuries, and the physical limitations that can come with doing what we love every day. Passion is important, and showing up for our clients is part of the job.

But that doesn’t mean every hardship has to be accepted as “just part of it.”

Working 10 hours a day is no easy feat. Some days, it’s even longer.

That’s why taking just 10 minutes to reset can make all the difference. A few stretches, some light movement, and a moment to reconnect with your body can give you the boost you need to carry the rest of the day with a little more ease.

Strength isn’t built in a single workout. It’s built through consistency, and consistency often starts with just 10 minutes.

Of course, doing more would be great. But sometimes, giving yourself those 10 minutes is enough. Enough to reset, enough to recharge, and enough to show up a little better for yourself and everyone around you.

Opening a studio has been one of our greatest joys. And with that comes the good days… and the not-so-good ones.

We pour so much of ourselves into our work because helping people look and feel their best is what we love most.

But how do you pour from an empty cup?

So fellow hairstylists - fill your cup, show up for yourself and get that exercise in.

Made You Pause is a reminder to us and a message to other hairstylists that we show up every single day and give the best of ourselves. Some days that’s 100%. Other days it’s 50% trying its hardest to look like 100%.

We’re constantly encouraged to keep pushing forward that we sometimes forget to pause.

To breathe.

And sometimes, that’s all you need.

Because it’s not the end of the world. It takes just ten minutes to recalibrate, reset, and give the rest of your day a better beginning.

A special shoutout to @lavanya__lavakumar for bringing this entire event to life and reminding us to breathe. We also couldn’t have thought of anyone better than @bae_king__ for the MOST nourishing and delicious smoothie bowls. The perfect end to a wonderful day.
