🌟Unleashing the Beauty Within! 🌟💃🏻✨
I have been called superwoman, boss babe, someone who is so strong and always put together. I have been called a super mom who does it all but the day this picture was taken, I didn't feel like any of those things. It's taken me awhile to post this picture. The makeup is flawless. Thank you
@melodie_makeup . And the picture is breathtaking all thanks to
@alkaneminphotography and
@paulraymond66 . I just remember being burnt out from the brunt of all of the obligations and jobs I was doing. You ever have that feeling like you don't even have time to breathe? That was me. I remember coming to set and sitting in the makeup chair and being still for the first time in what felt like a whole month, when a pool of emotions flooded my whole entire being. I was embarrassed because I had just met
@melodie_makeup and there was I was bawling silently, still composed but barely making it through the application. Side note-- Makeup artists and stylists like myself are truly undercover therapists or confidantes with talent, actors or performers as our departments work so intimately together but that day I experienced first hand the therapeutic calmness that being in the makeup chair could truly be. Thank you
@melodie_makeup for seeing me and meeting where I was that day, I am forever grateful.
This photo for me is a daily reminder to give myself grace, to breathe and to advocate for the boundaries that are quint essential for me being the best mom, entrepreneur, friend, sister and stylist. If you haven't been doing this for YOU, I highly recommend you start today.
