What accomplishment are you most proud of?
My career. What started as an idea in high school to only go to college for 3 years to essentially experience it, then drop out and go to beauty school my “senior” year to earn a degree, turned into [becoming] a businesswoman with a successful career that I am absolutely obsessed with. I am incredibly proud of the loyal and trusting clientele I’ve built, all the work I have created, and future endeavors that I have yet to share.
What is your self-care routine?
Looking and feeling great starts with what’s inside. Using daily mantras for confidence and a gratitude journal to remember to be thankful for all that you have [help to] build a great foundation. Eating lots of whole foods not only help you to look your best on the outside, but also help you to feel your best from the inside. And any sort of daily movement, whether it is going for long walks, doing strength classes at gyms, or using a Pilates app at home, exercise tones you up on the outside but also releases dopamine that makes you happier and more confident for the day.
What is your definition of beauty?
Beauty has multiple meanings. Outside of just physical appearances, it’s being and accepting yourself fully as you are. It’s how you treat and love others; radiating positivity and leaving love and light behind you. It’s what’s internal versus external.
