A typical day in my life includes…
I’m typically at my store. Answering client emails and responding to people all over the world that are interested in transitioning to natural beauty. Helping clients, laughing and having fun. What girl wouldn’t have fun in a makeup store all day?!
I was born…
in Phoenix. I have lived other places but always come back. I love the desert!
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the sunsets, hand down! So beautiful they make you stop and think wow I’m lucky!
I’m listening to…
I am a hip hop girl at heart but right now Adele has me at hello.
My family…
is the most supportive and amazing group of people. I’m blessed!
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Oprah, I feel like she would be just full of knowledge.
One thing I cannot live without…
water with lemon, I mean we live in the desert. Oh and mascara of course.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a famous makeup artist.
I’m inspired by…
all the women around me. I have been lucky to work with strong group of women that motivate me everyday.
The one person who motivates me is…
too hard to pick one. My family, friends, and team all play a part in the woman I am today.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
racism. Everyone is equally beautiful.
The perfect day would be…
getting lost in the streets of Rome or Paris where no one could reach me. Sitting in a café, having amazing fresh food, enjoying the scenery and being in the moment.
My first job was…
frozen yogurt girl, I was fired quickly for always talking to boys instead of working.
My favorite escape…
S-E-D-O-N-A.
My life…
is really good. I am very lucky to do what I love.
I’m currently working on…
developing my own line of skin care and taking Citrine to the next level online.
Always…
count your blessings.
Never…
stress about something you can not change. It just isn’t worth it.
Favorite Quote…
“Don’t worry, be happy.” My grandfather lived by this motto.
Biggest Dream…
essentially I already conquered what I thought was my biggest dream. My company has grown beyond what I had imagined and I have a feeling it will continue that way. Hard work and passion are the recipe for success!
My Pet Peeve(s)…
women that don’t support other women. I have never met a woman I couldn’t relate to. We need to build one another up, not tear each other down.
