Life & Career Milestones

My path in life has been direct

  • 1.

    I had over 8 jobs and I came to the conclusion that I HATE WORKING FOR PEOPLE. I hate being scheduled for shifts I didn't even want to do but had to do because I needed the money.

Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Myself:

    From the start, I had high expectations for myself and my work. Also, my mom was very disappointed in me when she found out I dropped out of college to focus on lashing and beauty instead; I used that as motivation.

  • How I responded:

    STOP HESITATING AND JUST DO IT! So what if there's already a bunch of lash techs? People are always looking for new people and the lash industry is here forever. Once you get into it, you're going to tell yourself you wish you started earlier!
