With over 27 years of experience as a celebrity makeup artist, entrepreneur, and holistic wellness expert, I’ve seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t when it comes to confidence, self-care, and living your best life. Here are 5 lessons from my book that every woman needs to embrace.

(5 Lessons):

Own Your Confidence: Confidence isn’t about perfection; it’s about showing up fully as YOU. From red carpet events to personal interactions, confidence changes everything.

Prioritize Self-Care: Your energy is your power. Whether it’s through skincare, wellness routines, or Reiki, taking care of yourself first allows you to show up at your best.

Set Boundaries & Say No: Success in career, love, and life comes when you protect your energy and time. Boundaries are a form of self-respect.

Invest in Your Growth: Never stop learning or leveling up. From makeup artistry techniques to spiritual wellness practices, growth fuels empowerment.

Manifest the Life You Want: Your mindset shapes your reality. Using tools like visualization, journaling, and energy healing can transform your life from ordinary to extraordinary.

I Am Doing It…Writing A Book

After years of dreaming about writing these two books, life pulled me in many directions, and my words were left waiting. But today, my creative energy has aligned, my chakra balanced, and my spirit opened to the flow. I finally completed one of these books! Now, I’m sitting with my first draft, making those little edits, refining the layout, and soaking in the joy of this moment. My heart is so full.

Printing out my rough draft from my upcoming book on Manifesting

To everyone who’s felt stuck, who’s put their dreams aside—hear me: finish that thing. Whatever it is, however long it’s been, do it for you. Show yourself the joy and pride that comes with seeing it through. You deserve that feeling. ✨

Namaste 🙏🏾📿🙌🏾🫶🏾🤎

Do You Have A Fancy Journal That You Enjoy Writing In

If you have been following me on social media then you know I am working on my books. I write every chance I get because I promised myself that I want to have the first book finished this year. The first book will be a fun self help book for girls/women, the second will be about my life as a makeup artist working with celebrities while living with lupus and the third is a beauty makeup book. You’ll always see me with a fancy journal on set, at the airport, in the park, or by the lake. So here are a few new journals that you’ll find me writing in this year. Do you have a favorite journal to write in?
