I get to paint faces for a living, and that’s pretty awesome.🎨💄 “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” - Steve Jobs. I’d agree 💯 %.

I worked a job right out of college just because I needed a paycheck. And guess what, I wasn’t very good at that job because I didn’t like what I was doing...so shocker!🤪And my pay reflected that because I worked on commission😬.

I graduated with a Fashion Merchandising degree from @universityofga never thinking I’d become a makeup artist and own my own small biz one day.💄It never even entered my mind as a college student honestly. I thought I wanted to be a buyer for a major department store...until I found out how much math would be involved in that career🤪!

But it’s been really cool to be back here, working with multiple students, faculty, and professors over the past couple of days on the UGA campus.🖤❤️It makes me even more proud to say I’m a Bulldawg alumni.

I know the college route isn’t for everyone, but I do think the community here at UGA is pretty special and my time here set me up for success in the future. And I reallly hope🤞🏼one of my 3 kids wants to go here!

Thanks to the wonderful crew @beachlionstudios for bringing me along for this project. #dowhatyoulove #athensga #uga #godawgs #athensgamakeupartist

Filters are fun, but GREAT SKIN is better.💁🏻

Filters are fun, but GREAT SKIN is better.💁🏻‍♀️ So let’s discuss the availability of SO many beauty filters on Insta stories, beauty editing apps, & Snapchat for a second. I know I rarely get super serious about subjects on here, but I think this one is worth discussing🗣.

Especially if you have young girls or teens with social media accounts. I’m already getting nervous for my 10 yr old daughter to grow up in this highly filtered and edited world🤦🏻‍♀️.

You know the ones I’m talking about - where they lift your cheekbones, give you lots of lashes, smooth out your skin to where you have zero pores, and bloated big eyes.📲 Although the use of these highly edited filters that warp our features in an instant, might just seem all fun n games, (I do ❤️ the ones that turn me into a cute puppy🐶) they also might be contributing to a bigger issue...Low self esteem and the comparison game.

I read all about this subject in a recent @forbes article which is what got me thinking. It’s basic message was that apps & filters might make us ‘look better’ but feel worse about ourselves.

Especially for young teens who consume and over-use them. The standards of “pretty” on an app or platform, seem all too common and perpetuates the idea and the need to look flawless. I know I preach the glory of what makeup can do for our faces, but we’ve ALL grown up around makeup being used for ages. But this generation is growing up staring at “hyper-edited art project selfies that have now become the backbone of society.” (Quote from the article that really hit me)

I even get slightly disturbed (ok annoyed) when I see professional makeup artists & cosmetic brands showcasing highly edited faces & skin texture...I want to yell, “that’s not real! No ones eyes are that white and she has no pores!!”

So how do you feel about these apps & filters?🤔Damaging to our mental health, or no big deal?

My non-edited no-makeup look (I have on lip gloss of course, let's not get too crazy) thanks to my 2nd HydraFacial 💦with @cindytheskinguru here in Athens. If you’ve never had one before, I highly recommend this self care treatment. #realtalk #athensga #mentalhealth #over40style

Smiles all around thanks to THE most perfect👌🏼Autumn Sunday 🍂to enjoy @washington_farms with the fam!

Zoom in to see the joy on @jawavifilms face 😁after he got the fresh kettle corn. Looks like he’s holding a baby he’s proud of!!🤪 It is super delish BTW if you go visit, get you some.

Simple family traditions like visiting this farm we’ve been going to since they were just babies, is what they remember & look forward to most each year...no matter how big they get!😭 Anyone else have family fall traditions?🌾Time slow down, I’m not ready for Christmas just yet...😳🎄#pumpkinpatch #washingtonfarms #athensga #oconeecounty #familytradition #familytraditions

Today gets 5 ⭐️’s. 1st bc I’m celebrating

Today gets 5 ⭐️’s. 1st bc I’m celebrating Dress Down With The Dawgs along with my friends @esp_inc by sporting this tee! This campaign idea was started in order to raise awareness and to advocate inclusiveness for people with Down Syndrome while dressing down for the @georgiafootball games 🏈during the month of October, which is also Down Syndrome awareness month.

An important thing to remember is that our friends with an extra chromosome are more LIKE you and me than they are different!!🤗 Swipe to see the back of this years tee. Use the hashtag #dressdownwiththedawgs to show your support for Down Syndrome awareness month!

2nd - I worked a 7 person bridal party all by my little self and they were the dreamiest group of ladies a makeup artist could have asked for!! My back may be a bit sore but my heart is full!

3rd - it’s 65 degrees and sunny 🌞 in Athens and you can’t get more perfect weather than that.

4th - now I get to cheer 🎉on the Dawgs for one of the most anticipated matchups of the year against 🐘. It sure would be a bright spot in 2020 if we could pull out a win! Hope everyone has also had a 5 ⭐️ SATURDAY so far! #downsyndrome #esp #nothingdownaboutit #downsyndromeawareness #athensga #godawgs #georgiafootball

🤍Tried out the WHITE EYELINER trend today.🤍 Would you wear it??

I thought I’d hate it, and that only 20-somethings could pull it off, buuuut actually, it’s kinda funky and I dig it.🤩 I think balancing it out with soft pink cheeks and lips complimented it nicely.

Check out my stories from today where I showed how I achieved it.✌🏼Used the @nyxcosmetics Jumbo Eye Pencil in “Milk” and Butter Gloss in “Tiramisu.” #whiteeyeliner #wearwhatyoulike #makeupover40 #whiteliner #makeuptrends

I love hunting...for great Amazon Prime Day deals!

I love hunting...for great Amazon Prime Day deals!😜 Anyone else taking advantage? I’ve got like 5 things in my cart that are all wants, not needs🤦🏻‍♀️.

Speaking of hunting, I truly love wearing camo pants. 💚🤎It’s a print that is very versatile IMO and will get tons of wear this fall and winter!

If you don’t own a pair of cute skinny camo pants yet, I have linked a bunch all under $70 in the 👉🏼@liketoknow.it App. // My GNR tee bought from Kate of @upthriftedoconee. Yay for teen entrepreneurs!👏🏼#liketkit http://liketk.it/2YGKV #camo #camopants #ltkunder100 #styletip

“Happiness is an INSIDE job.”🤗 Also a bold red lipstick doesn’t hurt to brighten my mood!💄Wearing the @maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid here in shade “Dancer.” It doesn’t budge ladies...

Starting this Monday, may we all be mindful to not give too much of our attention to negative information (news media + politicians - neither one seems to ever focus on the POSITIVE side of anything!!) OR to compare ourselves to others lives we are seeing on these squares. It usually leads to feeling anxious or less than.

As I remind my kids and myself all the time - WE are responsible for our own happiness and how we respond to outside circumstances. So if certain influencers or social accounts are stealing my joy, then it’s on me to easily hit that UNfollow button, and take back my joy!✌🏼#outofsightoutofmind // My felt hat and chambray top are years old, but also wardrobe staples that seemingly never go out of style. So I’ve found some similar pieces currently available you can shop here thru the @liketoknow.it App #liketkit http://liketk.it/2YxCc #ltkstyletip #ltkunder100 #redlipstick💄 #felthats #mondaymood

What’s the last thing you CRIED😢 over? Mine was watching the music video for Justin Bieber’s new song “Holy.”😳 Yes, I’m a 42 year old mom watching Bieber videos.🤪 But y’all, I love the song and the end of the video just got me!😭 This is one of 3 Halloween makeup looks I wore last year. The Pop Art 💥was actually WAY harder than I thought it would be to create - can’t exactly pinpoint why, but it was.

My kids are out for Fall break today so I’m off to spend time with them and try to look at my computer/phone as little as possible.👍🏼Have a great Friday everyone! #popart #popartmakeup #popartstyle #Halloweenmakeup #halloweeninspo
