Looking back on this past year as a professional makeup artist (in Los Angeles and Orange County, CA) has been a rollercoaster ride filled with highs and lows, especially with everything happening worldwide. But hey, I'm choosing to focus on the good stuff!


I finally decided to take my content creation game up a notch as a professional makeup artist and seriously pitch myself to brands. And guess what? It paid off big time! Bagged invites to some seriously cool beauty events like Maybelline, Jlash, and Impressions Vanity. Can you believe it? Plus, the PR overflowed, stocking up my makeup kit with top-notch goodies. And wait for it—I'm now part of the @danessamyricksangels squad! Can someone pinch me?


Oh, and did I mention my work got featured in @elleusa with Project Runway winner Bishme Cromartie? Freelanced for @elfcosmetics and @kulfi.beauty, too! Talk about leveling up in the industry as a professional makeup artist.


On a personal note, I finally got my butt back to the gym, and I'm actually sticking to it. Seeing some real progress on the weight loss front—definitely a win in my book. Just gotta keep the momentum going strong for that summer body by my next birthday!

2024, I'm ready for you! Here's to new adventures, bigger wins, and making it all happen. Happy New Year, folks!
