Tealecoco the Model


I decided that for this week's blog, I would write about Teale coco the model and brand. Teale Coco is a self-titled brand owner, designer, international model, photographer and entrepreneur. First, she completed her bachelor degree in photography (major commercial, minor fashion), then she moved into modeling internationally through her mother's agency 'Darley Management'. She is currently represented by 5 countries world wide and started her self titled fashion label at the end of 2013. In addition to being a site model, she also edits and shoots all of the 'Teale Coco' lookbooks and editorial images.Teale was influenced by occultism, bondage, anatomy, fantasy, horror, death and the subculture of body modification and fetish. Teale states, "I am looking to create unique, quality garments that specialize in exclusivity and empower the wearer. Elegant form fitting designs that cater to the underworld of dark, sensual, tailored garments that can be styled hundreds of ways. My designs are liberating, dominant statement pieces that are not defined by sex or body size.

I got all of this information from her website, http://tealecoco.com/ .

My Struggles and Future Endeavors

 
 Hello, my name is Serina and I have day to day struggles just like everyone else. I really just wanted to talk about how I have been feeling lately to let go of some things I've been holding on to. I do go to a councler to talk about these things, but it's not enough. Honestly, I feel very uncomfortable and out of place around people because I feel like i'm constantly being judged, which I probably am. I also feel this way because people make me nervous, meaning i'm constantly nervous 24/7. I'm always unsure of myself and am constantly stressed about whether or not i'm going to be able to do what I want to do because of my past grades...what really screws everything up are finals or tests. I've never done good on those things, even if I study hard, because I get so nervous and forget everything. I'm not as confident in myself and my body as I should be. If I exercised more and ate healthier, my confidence would boost so much. If I actually had the money to buy clothes that are ACTUALLY my style and had all the piercings I wanted and do my hair the way I want to, my confidence would be off the charts. Those are really small things, but they're so hard to achieve. Eating healthy is all mental. It takes a lot of mental strength to be able to kick your old eating habits, and it takes a lot of mental strength to give yourself motivation to exercise.
     
 Here are my new goals:
  1. Eat better. (200 calorie meals 6 times a day)
  2. Exercise more. (do at home workouts since I am unable to get a gym membership)
  3. Believe in myself. Believe that I will get into the college I want to get into, despite my past grades.
  4. Be more confident in my appearance.
  5. Get the piercings and clothes I want in the near future.
  6. Get a job to make money to get the things I want. (I've been looking for one for almost 2 months now.)
  7. End semester with a 3.0 so I can finally start to work towards getting my license.
  8. G R A D U A T E! With a 2.0 or higher so my mom will let me live with her in Santa Rosa.
I know I can do these things if I put the effort and time in. Life is such a glorious thing, and I don't intend on waisting it. When I graduate, i'm going to move to Santa Rosa and live with my mom and her boyfriend, look for a job, and go to Santa Rosa Junior College, then transfer to a 4 year to work towards becoming a vet tech. Once I graduate college, I plan on getting a job as a vet tech and staying in Santa Rosa for 1-2 years then move to Santa Cruz. Maybe when I get older i'll move to a different country. Oh! I almost forgot about traveling! Once I save up enough money, I plan on traveling around the world. I have a huge life ahead of me, and I want to be mentally prepared for what's to come. I don't want to sit around being afraid of life and everything in it. It's time to make a change for myself.
