Before I Go...
“Most importantly, I meditate and pray — just 10 minutes of quiet time to clear my head and see where God wants to lead me. I also have to have my morning coffee, preferably a Sweetheart (a white chocolate and raspberry latte) from Heine Brothers. I also listen to music to pump me up for the day. I love Norah Jones, The Black Keys, and Houndmouth, just to name a few.” 58

For a self-proclaimed friendly, easygoing, and determined person, Amanda is no stranger to taking the hardships of life and turning them into something worthwhile. With her best friend, Holly Frame, the pair opened The Dating Stylist, a dating consultancy firm. Amanda’s inspiration came when she discovered her husband was using a dating site to meet other women. While searching for his online profile, Amanda thought she could do a much better job at matchmaking. “I was amazed at the profile pictures and the boring, slightly scary profiles trying to find dates,” she says. Now I help people create their love story every day. It truly is the best job ever.” Born and raised here, Amanda’s business is still based out of Louisville but is now nationwide and has been featured internationally. “Our services include everything from creating online dating profiles for clients, complete makeovers for individuals, date coaching, flirt parties, social events, and matchmaking.” “It is also rewarding to create a lifestyle that my children will get to see — that you can change around any situation with hard work, perseverance and a dream.” LATEST PURCHASE I’M PRAISING:
“My BMW 525.”
MY BEST PIECE OF DATING STYLING ADVICE:
“Start with the inner you. If you’re emotionally healthy, it will shine through on the outside. When you radiate with love and happiness, people are naturally drawn to you. Be yourself. Respect yourself. Dress classy — classy is sexy!” MY MUST-HAVE BEAUTY PRODUCTS RIGHT NOW:
“I’m on a big organic, all-natural kick. I can’t live without pure coconut oil. I use it to make sugar scrubs and moisturizers.” TODAY’S WOMAN
