My Cousin's Wedding!

Hey guys!!

Sorry it's been so long. I've been crazy busy these past few weeks. But I'm back!!

So this past weekend, my younger cousin, Allie got married!!!

This was so exciting and amazing and utterly beautiful!

I grew up with Allie. My cousin C.J. and I were raised by our grandparents and she would come over literally all the time. The three of us are the oldest of the 13 grandchildren in the family, so we're all very close. It turned out to be easier to deal with than I expected. She is younger than me, as is C.J. who is in a serious relationship as well. I was afraid of feeling left out a bit. Like I was getting left behind because I'm the oldest and still single I guess.

But let me tell you, it was beautiful! I couldn't be happier honestly! Everyone had a great time and got to see each other after it being months since we all had gotten together. Definitely a success!

Also it was a great opportunity for my photographer, John! This was the first weeding he had ever shot and Allie LOVED him! The shots were insanely beautiful!! You can see some of them here: www.facebook.com/JohnnyHallPhotography

I took a few selfies and pics with my phone as well! Lookie!





Again it was a very beautiful wedding and I'm so glad I was able to be there! I really love my family so very much!!!!

Have a good one guys! And keep an eye out for another post! I have another shoot to upload very soon! :)

ART!!

Hi All!!!

This week a friend of mine who is also an artist drew an amazing picture of me!!

His name is Jason and he's created several pieces of art! Portraits of all kinds of different people and they are AMAZING!!

Check it!



I love it! I've always wished I could draw this well! It's awesome!!!

You can find more of his stuff on his Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ArtByJasonWalters

I just LOVE art so much! I feel art isn't appreciated enough in this day and age. I'm sure I'm not alone in this feeling either.

However, our area is FULL of local artists including photographers, videographers, musicians, painters, I mean the list goes on and on. I plan to post more about local artists here as well. We need to get our names out there and show the world what our little area can do!!

Speaking of art, I have to get ready for my shoot today! Sounds like we're going to get a lot of amazing images and it's going to be a lot of fun!

Of course I'll post the images as soon as they're ready! I'll put a few here, but I'll upload the majority to my Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Sarah.Tay4/ So don't forget to check em out and Like my page!!

Thanks everyone and remember to love yourself and continue to create as much beauty in this world as possible. The world needs more!!!

Taking a Big Step for Me

Heya guys!!

So I have good news and less-than-good news.

I've been a little sick this week. Had to go to the doctor two Fridays in a row now and may have to go back this coming Wednesday. So that's part of the not-so-good-news, but I also had to reschedule both my shoots for this weekend. That disappoints me, but I need to keep my health well first and foremost. I've been taking my medicine and trying to get some rest so I can be at 100% again. Just going to take a bit of time.

Ok, now for the good news.

With health in mind, I've decided to finally to take a big step to try to better my overall health now and for the rest of my life. I'M QUITTING CIGARETTES!!!!

This is a pretty big step for me. I've only quit smoking a couple times and for very short amounts of time in my ten years of smoking. However, I know it's not going to be easy so I also got some help.

With the help of one of my best friends John, I went and bought a Vaping device!! I don't know the fancy lingo for what all the parts are called, or even what the whole device is called, so I'm calling it a "device" until I find a better, more cool sounding word. Lol!!! Check it out!!



So you can probably tell I'm sick and please forgive my nails that need painted TERRIBLY, but I'm really proud of myself for making this decision and taking the first step. I love me and I wanna make sure I can love me for as long as possible, so switching from cigarettes to this may very well make that happen!

Love yourselves, you guys! You're the only you in this entire world, and you're the only you you got!

My FB Fan Page!!

Hi guys!!

So the other day I finally set up a Facebook Fan Page to help promote my modeling (and whatever else I end up posting over there).

I am so very thankful for all the support I've received! My page acquired over 200 likes the first day it was active!

This is amazing and astounding to me! I would have never imagined it would get that many likes in that amount of time. I truly do feel so very grateful for this!!!

If you'd like to see more of my modeling photos, you can totally check it out!

https://www.facebook.com/Sarah.Tay4/

I'd super appreciate it if you liked the page too!!

I also have two separate photo shoots set up for this weekend, so I'll post the photos from them onto the Facebook page as soon as I can as well!

Again, thank you to everyone that has been so kind and supportive!!

Have a great day, all!!!

The Weekend

Hey guys!

So I usually go out on the weekends. Out with friends, to a bar, whatever I can get into to.

This weekend though I stayed home. I wanted to get some things around the house taken care of, get to work on my different web pages, and also hang out with my wonderful Gamaw!

So, since I don't have many photos from this weekend to post, I'll show you some of my recent weekends!

Here goes!


This was just last weekend. A bunch of friends from work all met up to celebrate another work friend's birthday! Turns out that this bar was a PokeStop, so we all caught a bunch of Pokemon. Of course, we're all addicted to Pokemon Go. I grew up on Pokemon so this game is AMAZING to me!


These are from the weekend before. I went out to a club I frequent that evening with one of my close friends who is also one of my photographers! We had a pretty good evening!!


These are from two weekends ago when we celebrated my Gamaw's birthday! Her birthday was actually the week before, but I was visitng family in Kansas at the time. We went out with a few other family members for dinner at my grandma's favorite restaurant!


And these two are from my 4th of July weekend. I was in Kansas at the time visiting family. It was an AWESOME time! Even did karaoke with my cousins! We all had a blast!!

And this next one was from a random weekend my grandmother and I went grocery shopping. :)

Bah hah haaaa! That's my beautiful Gamaw... with a tomato butt! LOL! Man, I'm hilarious! :)

I hope everyone has a super fun and safe weekend!

Happy Weekend Y'all!!!

Body Image

Alrighty guys. Prepare for a bit of a rant.

I just got back from the doctor and found I gained 2 pounds.

I am pretty happy about this. I've been trying to gain weight for over a year now, so the fact the numbers were higher than usual makes me happy. But honestly they should be higher. I've literally tried EVERYTHING to gain weight. Even protein powders that weight lifters drink (I don't suggest this as a method to gain weight because it put me in the hospital).

I'm sure I'm getting eye rolls left and right because I'm complaining about not being able to gain weight, but how is that any different than someone who wants to lose weight? Why am I shunned for wanting to gain weight while others are encouraged when trying to lose weight? Quite frankly, it's pretty unfair.

I'm constantly told "Why don't you eat a cheeseburger?" and "You're so skinny you're going to blow away." I'm sure people don't mean to be malicious with things like that, but it does hurt. Honestly, it's the same thing as saying "Why don't you lay off the cheeseburgers?" or "You're so fat you're gonna break that chair," to someone over-weight. Not very nice, right?

I've been trying to be more body positive with myself. I am beautiful the way I am. However, that doesn't mean I'm COMPLETELY happy with every inch. I'd just like a few more inches to be proud of, personally.

But that is my own prerogative. In saying that, I feel it's no one's business but MINE. The same applies for people that are heavier than me. Everyone wants to do with their own bodies as they please. Everyone wants to look certain ways. So how and why is that anyone else's business? Last I checked, I'm not living my life for anyone but myself, so why should I make it a priority to please other people's opinions when they literally don't do anything for me?

If you're happy with your body, then great! You do you, m'love! But if you're not, don't make that change from what other people think. Do it because it makes YOU happy. You do NOT have to please anyone but yourself. Love yourself, tell yourself you're beautiful and amazing... 'cause guess what? YOU ARE!

This just brings me back to BE YOURSELF. It doesn't matter how thin or thick a person is, they are a person and that makes them beautiful. Everyone is beautiful. There is beauty in even the ugliest of things. If people were more accepting of others, and even themselves, this way of thinking wouldn't even exist. No one would be worried about my weight and the fact I might "blow away" because they'd accept me for me, and be more concerned with their own life.

Live your life for YOU! If you don't, who will?

"... never seen you look bad"

G'Mornin Y'all!

So the other day, a friend at work told me "I've never seen you look bad". This was a couple of days ago, but let me tell you, it made my day. Hell, it made my week!

That is such a kind thing to say and it did wonders for my confidence. I do try to dress nice for work (well, for any reason I'm leaving the house really) so it was super nice for someone to notice that.

However, I don't want people to think I'm not human too. I am human. And I PROMISE I don't always look great. So, I though it would be not only hilariously funny, but also important to show that I'm not always dressed up and looking on point. lol.

You may want to close your eyes for this...


A little help from SnapChat for this creepy face.


More SnapChat. LOL!!


I like to make INSANE faces. :)


This was at a Kansas City Royals baseball game. I even TRIED to look cute that day... too hot out for all that. lol


Trying to prettify, while looking scary.


Fresh outta the shower. Aaah...(this could be a sound of relief... or terror)

And the icing on this scary cake... Are you ready?


SnapChat makes me laugh.... HARD. Also I'm trying very hard to quit smoking. I'm sure I'll go on about that in a later post.

So there it is! I hope this made you laugh as much as it has made me! LOLOLOL!!!!

You don't always HAVE to look pretty to be pretty. It's important to feel good in your skin, whether you've painted it up or not. Or whether you want to make scary hilarious faces or not! Be YOU! You're the only you out there and if you don't do it, who will?!

Have a great day all!! :)
