So, if you’ve noticed, Good As Gold Living has gotten a bit of a style update. Not because it needed one, but because I have added an extra section. I will now be offering different types of styling and makeup packages! Let me tell you why…

Alright, first things first. I am not a style guru. Let me just get that out of the way. I wear a lot of things that aren’t for everyone. The thing is: I enjoy them. I’m comfortable and don’t really worry a lot about if I move the wrong way will my shirt lift up or if I’m dressed appropriately for the situation at hand. Which is what my version of styling is. I think that your style should represent who you are without breaking the bank or without having to be stripped off as soon as you walk in your door because you can’t stand to wear it for five more minutes. Trust me, it really can be accomplished. I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but there aren’t that many things that I’m exceptional at. I’m not great at math, I’m not the most athletic gal out there and I’m as graceful as a baby ox. However, style and makeup I get. It’s what makes my heart skip a beat and gets me excited about my day. I figured that instead of always writing about it, why not be more hands on with helping people. So that’s exactly what I’m aiming to do.

If you’re like me, this can seem pretty daunting. Having someone personal shop with you, go through your closet, adjust your makeup colors or even give you advice can be a pretty personal thing. I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable. I’m not here to judge you. I don’t care if you have a thirty year old cat sweater in your closet. If something has value to you, keep it! That’s not what I’m here for. My main goal is to give you a solid base to work with. Pieces, colors and shapes that will look great on you no matter what. I’m not trying to push anyone else’s style on you. I want you to stay true to you while adding some easy polish. At the end of the day you have to look like yourself and be comfortable. How great would it be if you could achieve those things no matter what you are grabbing and putting on? That’s my goal for you. I don’t think that helping someone to feel their best is ever a bad thing. We will be working together as a team to ensure that you’re excited about the end result and that you will feel confident and beautiful while keeping your own authenticity. I can’t wait to see some of your beautiful, smiling faces as the seasons change.

I feel as though while I’m talking about these changes, I should thank my lovely website designer and brand manager, Janelle Desrosiers of Bloom + Brilliance. If you ever need a web or graphic designer, you should probably check her out at www.bloomandbrilliance.com. I’m a pattern floosy and can never have enough prints. Thankfully, she talks me back into a reality that won’t burn your retinas out when you visit my page. Plus, a conversation with her will leave you smiling and full of excitement to start something new. I hope that you all enjoy the new visual and service tweaks as much as I do. Here’s to a happy, confident and positive future!
