Amanda, 38, was spotted taking a stroll in Hollywood, California, wearing her long black hair and enjoying her leisurely stroll.
The star wore makeup on her face, covering some of the tattoos she had gotten over the past few years.
She also appears to have gotten some new ink and has added at least one large tattoo to her leg.
Amanda wore a casual outfit and enjoyed her walk.
She was pictured wearing a grey cropped t-shirt and beige baggy shorts.
The former TV star wore long nail extensions that shone while her hands hung at her sides.
Amanda revealed to her fans that she returned to school to continue her cosmetology studies after failing the state exam to become a manicurist.
She shared the news in a rare Instagram update earlier this week, telling her followers, “Since I have not yet passed the final exam for my manicure license, I have started school again to study manicure theory and practice applying acrylic nails before taking the exam again so that I will be ready to go when I get a job at a nail salon.”
She previously attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in 2018, but switched to studying cosmetology in 2022.

An insider revealed details about her plans to become a manicurist to Bang Showbiz.
“She graduated almost two years ago but did not immediately apply for her license. She needs to practice acrylic painting and study manicure theory to pass the exam,” the source said.

Fans expressed their concerns about Amanda’s behavior on social media back in April.
At that time, she was spotted wearing an all-black look.
She wore a $3,000 black Chanel bag across her chest and wore a black T-shirt, ribbed leggings and high-top Converse sneakers.

The star was active on social media at the time and some fans were concerned about the things she shared there.
She gave up her acting career in 2010 and subsequently suffered several psychotic episodes in public.
In the years since, Amanda has focused on her mental health and new career paths.
She briefly had a podcast and worked on Cameo videos.
SOCIAL MEDIA SCRUB
In early April, Amanda deleted her Instagram account, which caused concern among some followers.
The What a Girl Want actress left six story highlights on her page, including photos of her dog and one highlight captioned, “I’m fat right now.”
The latter was about a story she posted in which she confessed that she had gained weight due to her depression.
She revealed that she weighed 162 pounds at the time.
Before deleting all posts on her Instagram, she also shared a rare photo of herself smiling at the camera.
The snapshot shows the former child star in grey leggings, a white jacket and a beanie hat, sitting cross-legged on a chair on a balcony.
Peace on set
Amanda’s online activity began after the release of a shocking documentary called “Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.”
The HBO Max docuseries exposed toxic behavior behind the scenes at Nickelodeon in the ’90s.
The series focused heavily on Amanda’s relationship with producer Dan Schneider and revealed how young she was when her television career began.
Although Amanda did not appear in the documentary series, it raised questions about whether she had the same experiences on set as other stars.
Drake Bell, who began his career alongside Amanda, spoke about the abuse he suffered at the hands of dialogue coach Brian Peck.
Several others also reported how they were treated by Brian and Dan.
Amanda has not made a statement since the documentary was released, despite her fans begging her to speak.
