About the photo. There is always "that guy". This is a California Quail - they're ground birds, like chickens. But there's always "that guy" that has to be different. "That guy" is identifying as a house finch (bird feeder bird). We love "that guy" doing his thing, his way. This is the "My Way" blog - I started it when I got my dx for diabetes, but there has always been a fashion/color thing going on. You'll still read about the medical piece, but far more about the color and fashion part of my life.

"Coffee spiced stuff"

 Putting it here because I'll lose it otherwise.

  • 2 parts turmeric
  • 2 parts cinnamon
  • 1 part black pepper
  • 1 part ginger
  • 2 parts collagen peptides
  • 1 part baking soda.
put a tablespoon in hot coffee with a t. of butter and froth it up.

Compare and Contrast: DYT Yin/Yang lineup vs. Kitchener Essences

 

Compare and Contrast Time!

Trying to figure out “essence” in context of the systems I already know.  (I maybe just need somebody to tell me what essences I am and how to apply that information.)

I’ll start with DYT and the Yin/Yang lineup (publicly available)

DYT doesn’t have a T/s team that is pure yin or yang, so it isn’t a true lineup.

But if I look at (for example) my cluebomb of T1s2 (which does fit me), that’s about 2/3 down the “yangishness” list.

If I go about 2/3 of the way down the Kitchener essences, I end up at Ingenue (T1?) and Romantic (s2?) and maybe a touch of Angelic.

In the “your color style” quiz I ended up with “casual” and went with “elevated casual”

I know that for some, these won’t line up at all.

For some, they’ll make sense. 

I know, I’m trying to cheat by not putting a whole lot of time and brain power into figuring out my essences, if it’s right there on the list.  😉

DYT Yin/Yang lineup (in order of yangishness):

T3s1 = Yang, yang, yang, yin

T3s4 = Yang, yang, yin, yang

T1s3 = Yang, yin, yang, yang

T4s3 = yin, yang, yang, yang

T3s2 = yang, yang, yin, yin

T1S4 = Yang, yin, yin, jang

T4s1 = Yin, yang, yang, yin

T2s3 = Yin, yin, yang, yang

T1s2 = yang, yin, yin, yin

T4s2 = yin, yang, yin, yin

T2s1 – yin, yin, yang, yin

T2s4 – yin, yin, yin, yang

 

Kitchener's 7 style essences are (from yangishness to yinness):

Dramatic

Gamine

Natural

Classic

Romantic

Ingenue

Angelic
