Beets And Dogs

Posted on February 22, 2012 by Stephen Dimmick

One of my babies, Lucy.

You maybe be wondering what the H.E double hockey sticks am I talking about today.  Well  today’s beauty tips are all about your health and what will make a 100% difference to your health.  Number one in Daily Dimmick’s world is dogs.  Dogs are proven to lower blood pressure.  The other thing I can’t live without is one of my favourite juices to clean the liver and I simply make it at home so I know what I’m getting.  The liver is no joke.  It has hundreds of functions, from cleaning the blood to producing bile to break down fat and constructs cholesterol and estrogen, reconstructs hormones,  just to name a few.  So sit back, get comfortable and enjoy today’s Vlog with a special guest star.

Unlearning

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Stephen Dimmick

Ph: Liz Von Hoene

Good morning everyone.  I hope you’re all buckled in today for the wonders of another amazing day ahead of us.  Today here at Daily Dimmick we’ve decided to take a bit of a look at that subject that can often bamboozle us.  Sometimes it can send us to a place of isolation and at other times utter elation.  It’s love and relationships.  I’m so typical when it comes to this subject it’s boring.  I’m actually a really bossy boyfriend.  Control issues are my schtick.  For a long time I thought I was quite a wonderful boyfriend only to come to the realization that I was actually a real pain in the ass.  Expecting my partners to see things the way I did.

Apparently this is not something that makes a good boyfriend/partner.  It took me a long time to realize that being in a loving relationship almost has nothing to do with the other person. It really comes down to how you relate to and love yourself.  Where did I learn it from?  And more importantly how do I unlearn it.  Yes it’s very important to be aware of ones character flaws and yes it is the beginning to change.  However, if one doesn’t take actions then we stagnate and fester.  What happens to water when gets stagnant?  It becomes a breeding ground for all sorts of bacteria and eventually mold.  UGH.

I could write an essay, but let’s not get carried away with EVERYTHING all in one post.  Today I’m talking about relating to oneself.  It seems to be the first ingredient of any good relationship.  A relationship means how I relate to others and myself, it goes beyond having a boyfriend or girlfriend it’s about what I give.  So sit back, get comfortable and tune in.

Hi everyone.  I hope you’re all well and you’ve had the most amazing day today.  I was chatting with Dabney Porte of http://smgirlfriends.com and Friends Of Ricki fame about social media and what kind of effect it can have on ones life.  SO today over here at http://dailydimmick.com  I’m going to share my experience of social media, Ricki Lake, Twitter and dreams.  Through Twitter your dreams can become reality, as long as you keep putting one foot in front of the other.  So if you’ve got a dream start tweeting.  Be selfless, give yourself freely.  It might just stun you what will happen.  It’s a long one today at just over 8 minutes, so buckle yourself in and enjoy the ride and get ready to make your dreams come true.

Ex Is Not A Dirty Word

Posted on February 15, 2012 by Stephen Dimmick

You may have noticed that I didn’t actually Daily Dimmick yesterday.  Namely because two incredible things happened yesterday.  The first was an amazing meeting which will be part of a new blog post in the weeks to come.  But I digress.  The second incredible situation was a long time coming.

Yesterday I met with a beautiful woman by the name of Leticia Connell.  Leticia and I met 26 years ago in Brisbane, Australia when we were young, crazy teenagers.  We were lucky enough to be in the subculture of New Wave, New Romantic or one of the myriad of other names that were thrown around back then to describe who we were.

Since the advent of Facebook and Twitter so many wonderful people have come out of the woodwork and we’ve had the absolute pleasure of reconnecting.  The teen years were indeed tumultuous and difficult. Believe it or not reconnecting with friends from this period of my life has cleared away many insecurities I’ve carried through life. Time and age are a wonderful ally to a person’s state of mind if you allow it. Alas some have peeked there heads out and just as quickly disappeared back into the anonymity of the ethernet.  As much as this leaves a sadness I understand it as well.

Leticia is one of those amazing friends who came out of the woodwork.  We dated back then, during the time that this photograph was taken.

The most amazing thing about the passing of time is no matter what life has thrown at one it does not change their essence.  Life has thrown both of us some treacherous obstacles and Leticia is still that scrumptious wonderful women I met 26 years ago with the exception that she now has the wonder of a “mini me” in tow. Immy is her name and she’s just the most joyous little angel. I pretend to not like children but alas I’m just a sucker for kids and I can’t hide it.  Life is coming full circle and I’m loving it.

What A Day.

Posted on February 14, 2012 by Stephen Dimmick

So I’ve had a bloody rough day sistah’s.  It’s been one of those days where even MY never ending, effervescent optimism has taken a beating.  The past couple of years has really brought about a flux in my life.  Is it my midlife crisis?  After all I am in my early 40′s.  I never gave much credence to the midlife crisis before.  I am now having second thoughts about my stance on it.  My husband Jonathan went back to nursing school in his mid 40′s because he felt like he wasn’t doing something for the good of humanity.  So what did I do to get through it.  Check it out.

Wake Up To Makeup

Posted on February 13, 2012 by Stephen Dimmick

From night to beach.

Good morning everyone.  I hope you’ve all had an amazing weekend and you’re ready for this amazing week ahead of us.  Today I’ll be showing you My Week In Makeup and how I created these looks.  The first I’m going to show you is these two.  Believe it or not this is exactly the same technique of application using the same colours.  It looks different because of the intensity of application and of course the red lips help take the first one into another realm.  The most important thing I want you to take from this is when you look in a magazine don’t think you can’t have the same look.  You just have to use a different hand to serve your age and occasion to it’s best advantage.

Those Around You Will Make A Difference To Your Beauty

Posted on February 10, 2012 by Stephen Dimmick

Hi everyone.  Of course life doesn’t always go the way we planned and when it doesn’t the only thing we can do is go with the flow.  Like my friends always so to me ‘be dragged or let go’.  I know which one is easier and less painful today.  So instead of leaving you high and dry for the day it seemed like a perfect opportunity to give a shout out to some amazing women who’ve given freely of themselves to show me that full potential is possible.

If you want to fulfill your dreams and don’t know where to start follow them on Twitter @DabneyPorte @MamaBritt @FriendsOfRick @RickiLake / @RickiLakeShow @BestEverYou @AndeLyons @DivaCafe and of course me @DailyDimmick .  Please don’t underestimate the power of Social Media.  If harnessed you will reach your your potential.  Not a word of a lie.  I have only just begun and these are just a very few of the people who are waiting with open arms and full hearts.
