A typical day in my life includes…
I always start my day with a healthy, filling breakfast, followed by some kitty cuddling with my baby Zen. After getting all done up for the day, I’m on my way to do clients makeup all day long — whether it’s working on some of the top models in Arizona, making brides feel their most beautiful or doing special effects/fantasy makeup on performers etc., along with many other variations of makeup artistry and esthetics, I am constantly keeping myself busy. When I am not completely booked up morning to night, I’m building my skills by practicing on myself for Youtube and Instagram. I’m always doing what I love, and I couldn’t ask for more!
I was born…
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the incredibly stunning landscape. I absolutely love the desert, and hiking in this gorgeous state brings about a different kind of happiness and relaxation I’ve never felt anywhere else.
I’m listening to…
my crazy Apple Music playlist: Glass Animals, Arctic Monkey’s, Queen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc. My taste in music is dependent on the day I’m having, and I could honestly never choose one artist or song over the other.
My family…
are those who have never stopped believing me and cheering me on. Family can be so stressful and full of drama, therefore I keep contact with those who keep contact with me. It’s hard to move away from family, too, but you must always do what’s best for YOU! Our whole family comes from two amazing individuals, my grandparents, who did an amazing job raising us. My pappy was a milkman when I was a child, which I always found to be so proud of. He now suffers with Alzheimer’s, and my amazing grandmother takes care of him full-time. She’s the best spirit though, and always see the light at the end of the tunnel. I miss them the most of course, as well as my amazingly strong mother who’s a fighter as well as my adorable little nephew.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Lady Gaga. I would chat with her about how she achieved her raise to fame over vegan cuisine.
One thing I cannot live without…
makeup of course! It’s my passion — I don’t have to wear makeup daily, but I always need to be creating!
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
an astronaut, then a detective, then a model. I also have always dreamt of dropping all regular life responsibilities to travel the world and help others. One day, I will fulfill that dream.
I’m inspired by…
my past; my old self. I’ve blossomed inot the most beautiful flower.
The one person who motivates me is…
my amazing boyfriend, Josh. He’s always there for me, cheering my on, inspiring me, and just allowing me to see life in a different, but beautoful, perspective.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
world hunger. Climate change. Mental Illness. Anything.
The perfect day would be…
everyday is perfect when you love what you do! However, I do wish I could spend everyday of my life on an island, relaxing without a care in the world.
My first job was…
a hostess at a small family-owned Italian restaurant. That was an experience, haha!
My favorite escape…
music. I just love driving in my car, blasting music and singing every word at the top of my lungs. Road trips are simply the best because of that.
My life…
has been a rollercoaster. However, I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Everything that I have gone through has made me the person I am today and I couldn’t be more thankful for that!
I’m currently working on…
building my business and making myself known. I also plan to start my own cosmetic company. With care and precision, it may take a couple months to a couple years but one day I will own an amazing line of cosmetics!
Always…
believe in yourself. Shoot for the stars and beyond. Focus on your path.
Never…
let the opinions of others stop you from achieving your soul mission.
Favorite Quote…
“It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.” – Alice in Wonderland
Biggest Dream…
to become the most popular makeup artist in Hollywood, working on the biggest celebrities for the biggest movies, with a powerful social media platform and owning a revolutionary cosmetic line.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
negativity. People smacking their lips (YES! I hate that!).
