I went to a place tonight Knowing I would conquer something of meaning for me.  I did it. I didnt have a mentor growing up but I had somthing better; a mother and also a very important factor... I Craved success. in a way different to most. I wanted to see my life take me somewhere, to a place where i could help others succeed and no matter what I was going do achieve this!

I sat in my bedroom at my small handmade, oak, plywood desk. Previously a nail bar.  This now held my computer, I stared into the book my mother gave me 'Tony Robinson' goals... - I decided to make a list of my goals after reading maybe a few pages.

1. Own my own Business - Which is profitable
2. Own my own home
3. Own my own Car
4. Get married
5. Have Kids

By time I was 30 I have them all.

This is because I could visualize my dreams and I wanted to succeed, Im not saying that it was easy or I didnt have uphappy moments but sometime you have to fight for it!

Now  I need to fufill the main reason I started... to help others before I can meet my next 5 goals.

1. Own a bigger Building
2. Have more time for my mentee's
3. Have more time for my Family
4. Keep Learning
5. Create Harmony in my life

I am very Blessed to have what I have and I will always be true to who I am.
Take a minute to recognise what I am feeling and what I want and not feel Guilty for wanting it.

So from here on if you need a hand I will be there to help you. Be it Nails, Make up, business or just support. Im always here.
Even if you have to keep asking me lol ;-)

 
Picture
Its really hard to find furniture that stands out like this salon without having to pay a fortune.. in Ireland that is! I wish someone could tell me where to find Items for a beauty salon / school that is not rediculously overpriced but amzing at the same time.... dont say it, IKEA...I know amzing what you can do with your office not alone your school. We did a 5H spend and did really well actually but all in all definately need to up our game in the salon style dept in this country.

 
Im not talking about Cosmetic foundations at least not yet. More like the foundations of make up artistry. One thing I have noticed is that there are allot of make up schools yet not allot of them spend 1/4 of the time as I do going into detail about Make up theory. I Wonder why?
Some of the important things in This business is learning How colour and Shapes act when you apply them to the face. Yet somehow it becomes more about putting the make up on and doing new looks instead of getting the fundamentals down then allowing students, artists to experiment. I just felt like having a Bitartist. AKA(Bi**h about artists)
