I would now like to address some of your specific beliefs about what I do. The first being that I tell people they have to spend a lot of money so that others will approve of them. That is not what I do at all. People ask me all the time “What shade am I?” and “Will that work for me?” Rarely do I actually tell them that they should reconsider a lipstick or a hair color. My response is usually that they should do what makes them happy. If they want red, let’s do red! Hair styling and makeup artistry is not there to make others like you, it is here to help you feel confident and beautiful. So who cares if that lipstick is your shade? Do you love it on you? Then buy it! I am an artist, I accentuate beauty and I bring it out in men and women. I help other people discover it in themselves.
On days where I sit around and watch tv and do some light cleaning I do not feel motivated or accomplished. On days where I wake up late and have 15 minutes to get ready and run out the door to work I do not feel energized or powerful. When I look in the mirror and I do not like what I see I do not feel ready to ask for a raise or to go for a promotion. However on days where I wake up and I take time (usually about an hour total) to take care of myself and groom myself and invest in myself, and when I finish I feel beautiful and confident, those are the days I get stuff done! I help people have those days, those weeks, those months! I help people find the confidence to say yes, I do, will you and no! I help people love what they see when they wake up in the morning and that is powerful.
The last thing I am going to address is the incredibly rude comment you made about my future daughter having a complex. First of all, how dare you make a judgement about my parenting, when I don’t even have a child?! How asinine can one be? Second I hope I have a daughter in the future. I hope I do so that I can teach her to be smarter than me, and to dream and to dance and to laugh and to love fiercely. I want to teach her to have an open heart and to love those who do not want it, and to try to understand those she is having a hard time loving. I want to teach her to stand up for herself and to fight against nay sayers, and bullies. Most importantly I want to teach her to know herself so well that when cowards like you come out and try to define her and tell her who she is, she doesn’t even have to blink before knowing that you are wrong and continue on her path to happiness and success.
Have a beautiful day
