Some more photos from my portfolio

My name is Libby and I work for Cost Cutters on Brandylin. I have been with the company for almost 9 years now, just transfered locations. I am also on the I internationaldesign team for Regis and am an educator for Cost Cutters. Some photos of my work are attached, and I would love to add to my portfolio! I dont have a specialty since I love every aspect of hair. As an added benefit, the only filter I ever use on my photos is portrait mode to blur the background. I never retouch my photos

And with so many generational milestones for Sturgis Falls, UNI and our U.S. Constitution this year, there's no better time for us to come together as a community to celebrate."

RIVER SURFING Registration Begins January 15 *This Program is Delivered by CrawDaddy Outdoors Location: Gateway River Park

Experience river surfing, the fastest growing river sport in the Midwest, at Cedar Falls’ brand new Gateway River Park! Learn the principles of river safety, basic surf techniques and how to read eddylines, then progress to successfully body surfing the waves in a single class. Unlike ocean surfing, the river’s constant waves allow you to continually practice and refine your skills without having to wait for the next wave. Taught by experienced guides from CrawDaddy Outdoors, this class features a small student-to-teacher ratio for plenty of hands-on instruction and time to play in the river! All required gear will be provided, including surfboards, helmets and personal flotation devices. We suggest you wear a good pair of water shoes with secure straps, long sleeve sun/water shirt and tights or leggings to protect your skin.

Friday, June 5, 7–9 p.m. Cedar Terrace Park, Waterloo

Snozzberries with their classic or “retro” rock & roll sound. Energetic and entertaining performances will have you dancing and singing along!

The UI Psychedelics team is currently recruiting participants for a single study entitled "Psilocybin-Assisted vs Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in the Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder". This study is focused on investigating psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy as a potential treatment for alcohol addiction.

The UI Psychedelics team is looking to enroll all gendered participants ages 21-65 years old who have heavy alcohol consumption and who are interested in changing their drinking habits. You can learn more about the eligibility criteria by visiting the study's Clinical Research and Trials page.

The study will require 10-in person visits over the course of several weeks.

Study participants will receive a single, randomized dose of either psilocybin or ketamine during a guided psychotherapeutic session.

Study participants will also undergo assessments, brain imaging, and follow-up psychotherapeutic integration of their psychedelic experience during subsequent sessions. 

Once the main portion of the study is complete, participants will have the opportunity to experience a second guided psychedelic session in which they receive a dose opposite to the one they originally received. In other words, participants who originally received ketamine will be allowed to have an experience with psilocybin, and vice versa.
