Shop Cimily to open soon!!

As I mentioned in my last video, I am planning on opening up an online shop/ boutique, in which 100% of the proceeds will be donated toward funding and helping out the Tinkuy Peru Mountain School that I volunteered at this past summer (read about my adventures there on my personal blog). For now, the money will serve to cover the clothing donation shipment expenses and buy the school a projector and a few other electronic devices that will enable the start of a more advanced educational program. My hope is that the store will eventually grow big enough and be able to generate enough money to donate to other charities as well! ^___^ The website is currently under development, and photo shoots are taking place for the products.

The shop will offer a myriad of apparel and accessories primarily aimed at young women (AKA people like me). All of the items are hand-picked or hand-made by yours truly. Owning and managing my own online shop has always been one of my biggest dreams and aspirations, and being able to marry my fashionista side and my passion for volunteering abroad (basically, my only two interests) is a dream come true. A dream coming true, that is.

Here is a preview from last Saturday's photo shoot with the one and only Hannah P. (click here to visit Hannah's blog!)



I've started a separate blog for the store, so visit http://shopcimily.blogspot.com/ for future updates! :)

New video up: Swap Meet Haul
 

I am amazed

I stumbled upon the most amazing hair stylist/ make up artist ever. She does lots of wedding hair and makeup, and the pictures on her blog are gorgeous as well. I can only wish to ever be as good as she is. Check it out:
