Two requests, please. 1) Could you make the distinction between your own thoughts and Kenter's clearer? For example, you list "business that grows out of a hobby" for Summer and that is not from Kenter's book though it does relate to me. Perhaps you might use her actual words in quotes and your comments separately so as not to confuse readers. 2) I don't do color analysis seasonally so I think it's kind of funny you chose to use a photo of me. But if you do want to use a photo of me, perhaps you could use one where I show the palettes that I use/my approach (instead of one that you found on blog that has been offline for years!)? I do use body colors. https://www.facebook.com/BeautyValued/photos/pb.544933832224510.-2207520000.1426521945./725389010845657/?type=3&theater
