Wardrobe stylist

Sugar Fixe, a small local coffee shop. They always knew my order, grande cafe mocha with 2 extra shots. I worked Tuesday through Saturday, 40 hours a week. The salon was an enormous 10,000 SF with a beautiful modern loft feel. I worked with 25 stylists, categorized based on experience. We had apprentices, newer stylists, to senior stylist, and of course master stylists. I was a newer stylist, who graduated the apprentice program at the salon a few years ago. The apprentice program was about 1-2 years and involved bringing in 100 blow-dry, haircut, and color models on days off in order to earn a stylist position. As well as, working 40 hours a week helping stylists, folding the signature royal blue hair towels, changing the little garbage cans , tearing foils, mixing color, sweeping the floor, and anything that looked like it needed to be cleaned in the salon. As a stylist, I was required to stand eight hours a day taking care of clients, cleaning the salon, or helping other fellow stylists. My boss, Tina, was a tall, thin, Italian mid thirties woman who always said, “ If you have time to stand, you have time to clean. Sitting down was a non negotiable at my job. When I was not with a client, I was busy helping other experienced stylists. A few years later, I felt drained, but kept my head up high because I wanted to reassure my decision. I clearly remember one Saturday evening , I walked into the salon bathroom, lock the door and sat on the wooden floor. I could not…

In Narnia, as in the Bible, grace is linked to faith. One cannot acquire forgiveness on their own. His own sin is too great and the divine sovereign is too honest for self-justification. One cannot change themselves either. Sinfulness is to grand to overcome on ones’ own. There are some things only Aslan can do, and the only proper human response to these things is faith. As the Beavers in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe tell Peter, it is no good trying to save Mr. Tumnus from the White…

the wardrobe and into Narnia, it changed my life. It was the moment I realized that as difficult as things may seem there is the possibility of magic and something bigger just beyond the door. My life changed at that moment. I had found freedom to be the little girl I was, if only in my imagination. It was more than I had ever known. Screaming and fighting always seemed to be going on at my house. My dad was a heroin addict and Mom was a rage addict. Everyday there seemed to be a fight. I had…

Throughout The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, Lewis utilizes a myriad of components, or symbols, to create an allegory of Christianity. These components suggest Lewis was crafting this story to convey Christian concepts. Examples of religious symbolism include Aslan, the stone table, the beavers underlying characteristics, the children’s “title”, and even the White Witch. Aslan is a character who strongly resembles Jesus Christ. Within the first few chapters, the fawn and the beavers speak…

The world of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the world of C.S Lewis’ Narnia are both filled with an immense number of fantastic creatures. In case of Rowling, many of these creatures are mythical animals-- centaurs, hippogriffs, goblins and unicorns to name a few- while Lewis mainly chooses to add mythical abilities to every-day animals. His Narnia consists of talking beavers, lions, and of course a few mythical animals such as fauns. Both worlds involve interaction between the non-human animals…
