#FlashbackFriday dump. A quick recap of the last 5 years and my journey with beauty and conversations. In 2016, I started my blog, #thebeautyinfluencer. I shared all the info I was learning and created experiences for those who were supporting the journey. In 2017 I lost my biggest job as a professional makeup artist, working for Fox Sports 1. I tried not to let it discourage me. I had already started working on my product line @theselfcarestore and my other beauty entrepreneur moves. 2018 Life shifted completely as I had to become a full time caregiver for my Dad, who is blind. In my spare time, I’ve been working on my online business 2019 I surrendered to a much needed break from the hustle of it all. Cared for my family. Worked on me. Created my #etsyshop & Got certified in #GuaShaFusion. 2020 I got back to work, while still caring for Dad. Got a dream job at @essentialaestheticsandlaser and got re-inspired to share my knowledge of beauty with the world, my way. #teaandwildthoughts👄 2021 New website (check the bio) More conversations coming!(subscribe on YouTube) Loving what I do! And still finding the beauty in this thing called life. ❤️ #joytaughtme💋 #blackherstory #grateful #blackbeautyblogger #beautybloggers #thejourney #blessed (at Charlotte, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK6TZGmhDub/?igshid=kmojw2kwzjb0
