Week 128: Juliana Gomez [Redux]

Twitter handle: @jgmz2

In January 2014, I was walking home and thinking about what I’d do if I took over the @peopleofkw account. With such a big audience, what could I tweet about that would be important? I thought about challenging myself to eat, shop and play local for 1 week and tweeting about it. Then I thought, “why don’t I get a bunch of people to do this with me?” and thus @livelocalkw was born.

LiveLocalKW is a 1 week challenge to eat, shop and play local during September 13 to 19. People pledge online and participating local businesses offer discounts and incentives that week. The goal is to grow our sense of community and belonging.

And who am I? I’m the creator of it. I’m hit-or-miss funny, surprisingly organized and classically extroverted. I’m interested in anti-oppression, radical spaces and the roles that communities play in our well-being.

Come along and see a week into my world. An exciting week at that as #livelocalkw 2015 approaches. Find out more about LiveLocalKW atwww.livelocalkw.com and about me at www.gomezjuliana.com

Added a tail to these brows.

This absolute beauty had her lashes AND brows done. Dramatic volume set and Microblading. Super happy with the results, not that she needed to be any prettier, but now she is just stunning. #brows #kwmicroblading #uptownbeautylounge #microbladingwaterloo #kwawesome #wrawesome #kwspa #kwsalon #uptownwaterloo #kitchener #waterloo #cambridge #guelph #toronto #brantford #ldnont #laurier #uwaterloo #uofguelph #browmakeup #browartist #browbabemarci #kwbrowbabes #archaddicts #livelocalkw

Sneak peak of one of today's masterpieces. #kwlashes #volumelashes #russianvolume #brows #kwmicroblading #uptownbeautylounge #microbladingwaterloo #kwawesome #wrawesome #kwspa #kwsalon #uptownwaterloo #kitchener #waterloo #cambridge #guelph #toronto #brantford #ldnont #laurier #uwaterloo #uofguelph #browmakeup #browartist #browbabemarci #kwbrowbabes #archaddicts #livelocalkw

These were untouched brows (never waxed). We kept the shape as natural as possible but enhanced and defined them. Beautiful result. #brows #kwmicroblading #uptownbeautylounge #microbladingwaterloo #kwawesome #wrawesome #kwspa #kwsalon #uptownwaterloo #kitchener #waterloo #cambridge #guelph #toronto #brantford #ldnont #laurier #uwaterloo #uofguelph #browmakeup #browartist #browbabemarci #kwbrowbabes #archaddicts #livelocalkw (at Lashing Out/Uptown Beauty Lounge)

Microblading is great for sparse, fine brows. Loving how natural these still look, while making her beautiful eyes pop! #brows #kwmicroblading #uptownbeautylounge #microbladingwaterloo #kwawesome #wrawesome #kwspa #kwsalon #uptownwaterloo #kitchener #waterloo #cambridge #guelph #toronto #brantford #ldnont #laurier #uwaterloo #uofguelph #browmakeup #browartist #browbabemarci #kwbrowbabes #archaddicts #livelocalkw (at Lashing Out/Uptown Beauty Lounge)

More definition and colour for a hassle-free, natural brow. #kwmicroblading #uptownbeautylounge #microbladingwaterloo #kwawesome #wrawesome #kwspa #kwsalon #uptownwaterloo #kitchener #waterloo #cambridge #guelph #toronto #brantford #ldnont #laurier #uwaterloo #uofguelph #browmakeup #browartist #browbabemarci #kwbrowbabes #archaddicts #livelocalkw (at Lashing Out/Uptown Beauty Lounge)

More volume lashes. Mixed a couple of very fine diameter lashes as he natural lash was already quite fine. Used 0.05's and 0.07's #volumelashes #kwlashes #uptownwaterloo #livelocalkw #kwlashbabes #volumelashes #4weekretention #lashnaturals #signatureadhesive #lashartist #eyelashextensions #lashlove #kitchener #waterloo #cambridge #guelph #masterlashartist #lashtraining #naturaleyes @lash_naturals (at Lashing Out/Uptown Beauty Lounge)

Slightly widened, more arched and defined.

This style is in, right?? Doing brows on one of my bestest buds.
