It is hard to believe that after 8+ years I am officially leaving the cosmetic industry to open my very own business. This week marks one of my final weeks teaching product, artistry and selling skills. It is a bittersweet move, but one that I am looking forward to.
I began my love affair with lipstick many years ago when I was hired to work for Bobbi Brown. I still have dates with my moisture balm and cannot live without my light bisque corrector for under the eyes. Working for Bobbi took me to Charlotte, Alabama, Atlanta and then finally the fashion capital- New York City. I still love Bobbi's products and believe it is some of the best out there.
I met THIS GUY and fell head over hills in love. I wanted to marry him and his blue eyes quickly led me back to Atlanta we got married. I took an Education job with Bare Escentuals and was not quite sure if I could ever love a brand as much as I loved Bobbi. Little did I know that I would find another love and yes, it was BE.
At BE, I have met some amazing people and used some incredible product (my favorites are the Renew and Reveal Facial Cleanser, Fruit Cocktail Blush & Luminous Mineral Foundation in Golden Medium). I never in a million years thought I could fall eyes over lips in love with another brand, but I did. One thing that I have learned from working at BE is that you never can stop having fun and you should never take the fun out of makeup. What a wonderful journey it has been.
But now on to other things... like this little guy. I mean what Mommy would not want to spend more time off the road traveling and more time making this little guy smile. His smile lights up a room. I love you Maddox!
So much around the corner... like my business SUGAR SNAP PHOTOGRAPHY. It is the little details that make life so interesting and what a honor it is to be able to capture those details for so many other people. Plus, I get all the free photography I want now, so I can capture that cutie up above as much as I would like to. I never dreamed that I would have the idea to start my own business and that it would take off so quickly. Who am I to be chosen to capture life as art for others?
Leaving a job that has been so wonderful and a career that has been a part of who I am for so long can be scary. The Lord is so awesome to provide me with this opportunity and I am thankful that I have a full book already for September.
PS. I also will be working part time at a friends bridal shop (A Perfect Dress in Anderson) and can't wait to dive into that as well. I can't seem to stay away from the girly stuff!
Looking forward to exciting times!
