Nubia's Nonsense: Ash Sneakers

Hello Nubians,

I think it's my adventure, my trip, my journey, and I guess my attitude is, let the chips fall where they may.

The weather has been beautiful lately in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's been in the 70's everyday which I consider perfect weather. The kind of weather where you can wear a light sweater but you can also sport a skirt if you choose.

As some of you may know, I moved to Las Vegas from NY a little over a year and a half now. I wasn't sure how long I would stay at first so I kept freelancing. I'm pleased to say I finally set some roots down and have my first job in Las Vegas as the Social Media Coordinator for the Aveda Institute Las Vegas and the g Aveda Salon & Spa in Downtown Summerlin.

I feel very grateful because I'm surrounded by a great team of people and the Aveda brand is in the realm of beauty & wellness which I am already obsessed with. I've learned so much more about the brand since I started my job a few weeks back. I love how Aveda is not just any other hair & beauty brand but they're really trying to change the world with their mission. They're very genuine about it and it's very much the daily lifestyle. It's all very inspiring and beautiful. I'm sure I will be randomly blogging about Aveda more because I admire the brand.

Being at the Aveda Institute is always fun and fulfilling because all the students are so excited and happy to start their journey. It's magic!!! The g Aveda Salon & Spa in Downtown Summerlin is lovely too! A great place to relax and the stylist are fabulous. Downtown Summerlin is also a fabulous place to go and get away for a while and enjoy some serious retail therapy.

Besides my grand news (woohoo) I had a nice and casual weekend. I caught up on some work, saw a fashion show, worked on some art, and well... life has been pretty swell.

I hope you all had a nice weekend! Muah!

Hey Nubians,

"I wish I could invent something like blue jeans. Something to be remembered for." -Andy Warhol

I love Jeans! Remember when everyone was all over the double denim trend about a year or 2 ago? I still love it! I think one of my favorite denim brands is probably Levi Strauss & Co, they're such a good pair of timeless jeans.

Below I shall entertain you with some fun and random facts about jeans.

The very first jean was the indigo color because it hid dirt better than lighter colors. It's still the preferred color amongst people.
Orange thread that Levi Strauss & co. uses for stitching of their jeans is trademarked.
Blue jeans were banned in public places in the 50s such as theaters, restaurants and schools. They were seen as a form of rebellion.
Statistically, every American owns, on average, 7 pairs of blue jeans.
One bale of cotton can be used to produce 225 pairs of denim jeans.
About 450 million jeans are sold in U.S.A alone each year.
Iconic movies such as Rebel without a Cause and The Wild One first made jeans popular with teenagers, a demographic that was only starting to emerge as a distinct group in the 1950.
