The Sweetest Salon in Portland




Kate Sprouse, owner of Sugar Me, takes pride in being the only business in Oregon that strictly practices natural hair removal. (2/1/2019)




Her sugar recipe consists of sugar, lemon, and water, making it 100% natural.  (2/1/2019)




Sprouse hand picks her employees to ensure that her clients are not only receiving the best service, but also feel comfortable in the treatment rooms.  In Sprouse's own words, the all-women staff must be "rad." (2/1/2019)




Sprouse began sugaring herself when she realized the treatment did not agitate her eczema; unlike waxing and shaving.  "I have not picked up a razor in about 10 years." (2/1/2019)




Sprouse checks out one of her loyal clients, and friends, after her eyebrow and chin sugaring service.  Sprouse's passion for building trusting relationships with her clients is undeniable, and of utmost importance to her.  (2/1/2019)

A Look Inside the World of Competitive Diving

Image
Competitive diver Hope Flanigan, age 16, prepares the go-to breakfast she eats before every meet - a hearty bowl of Frosted Mini-Wheats - on the crowded television stand in her family's hotel room. Hope prepares to take her first practice dive from the 3-meter board. This is Hope's first dive meet of the upcoming intense four-month season which culminates at Nationals in Nashville, TN in June. The judges, coaches, and Hope's teammates watch as she executes a 203c, which is a back one and a half. Each diver performs a total of ten dives of varying difficulty per meet.

I often think that the  human experience  is oppressed by false and debilitating claims created to scare one out of expanding outside of their comfort zone.  “Don’t talk to strangers”, “That career goal is unrealistic”, “You should not travel. The world outside of your own is dangerous” etc.   Uncertainty  scares the hell out of us as human beings.  We tend to navigate the world and society under our own terms of what we believe to be safe, not only from a survival standpoint, but from a “saving-face” standpoint.  We do not dare approach the person we have a crush on, for fear of rejection.  We put off traveling to a country we have always wanted to see, due to the fear of culture shock and, ultimately, uncertainty. I am not saying to put your trust in every person and every risky opportunity you come across.  But, as the common phrase goes: “Live a little.”  Because without risk, you stay stuc...
