ABOUT ME:
I currently live in beautiful Redding, CA with my husband of 9 months. We moved to Redding this past summer after our wedding so he could attend a ministry school here. We both grew up in Maryland so moving to CA was a big shock to these East Coasters, but I love it and can't imagine leaving CA anytime soon. I am a Medical Esthetician and Professional Makeup Artist and have been pursuing a career in this industry for about 5 years now. I have loved makeup and all things beauty related since I was young and my passion has only grown over time. I am very girly, I love pastels and floral prints but I like to keep my fashion simple and classy. I am a very creative person but I'm also very business and entrepreneurial minded. Besides make up and skin care, I get my creativity out with crafting for my etsy site (see shop page).

WORK:
I work for a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon in Redding, part time handling administrative work and the rest of the time working with my skin care clients in the MediSpa. I started a skin care practice out of the office in the Fall of last year and it has been growing very successfully so far! It is a wonderful environment, with such wonderful patients. We deal with a lot of skin cancer patients at our office, and I am always inspired by the work Dr. Tate does. Eventually the goal is to be solely working with clients doing skin care and make up services as well as get my own personal makeup business off the ground. I am currently in the process of re-branding my business and my website to launch here in the North State! Keep your eyes out for updates on that! :)

HOBBIES:
Since makeup and skin care are such a passion of mine and also part of my career, it's hard to put blogging and makeup reviews in the hobbies category, but I guess that is one of my hobbies right now. I'm always learning new things, researching, and trying to grow as an artist and a business owner. I've also started my own etsy shop, which I mentioned above, selling wedding decor items because crafting is a favorite hobby of mine. I very much love calligraphy as well! I spend a lot of my time on the weekends working on my personal business, crafting for my etsy shop, adventuring in the sunshine with my husband, and sharing meals with my family.

I will continue to share more with all of you as my blog journey continues, but now you have at least a little window into what my life looks like. I am a very passionate person, and I hope to share a lot of that with you as I continue to pursue my dreams. Feel free to comment below with any desired blog topics or questions you may have about anything beauty related! I would love to know what topics YOU desire to learn about.
