Almost April

As always, the months keep flying by so quickly and alot has been happening. So once again, a new update. I keep saying I want to blog more, but life keeps happening, but I am gonna hunker down and just do it. I will try to blog every day, its going to be a personal goal of mine.

The biggest updates I have is that the cosmetology school I attended held a graduation ceremony for all those students who graduated from December to March. This included myself and most of my classmates. It was a really nice colorful ceremony and I can tell the students and staff went all out to make it special for us graduates! We even had "Oscar" awards that were golden mannequin heads! I received one for "Best Hugs" hahahaha I always hugged everyone because it puts a smile on everyones face. I mean, who doesnt want a hug???

Since I work at Xotic Eyes, of course I had to rock one of our designs to add some fun to my makeup look.

It was good to see my classmates and other students that I havent seen in a while. I made some best friends while attending Rudy & Kelly Academy. It made me miss my Paul Mitchell Family so much.

With teh amazing Ms. Karen! I love her so much!

I wanted to share this moment with everyone! The program at Paul Mitchell is almost a year long and I was really apprehensive about even attending hair school, but it turned out to be the most amazing experience of my life! It was the first time I graduated and completed any type of school, even though I attended 3 colleges prior, I was never able to complete any degrees and I am so proud to have finished this program!

It has opened more doors for me than I can count and I have met some lifelong friends that I will always be in touch with. I hope you enjoyed "attending" with me! Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again soon!

GRADUATION Day!

I cant believe it! On Jan 11, 2011, earlier this year, I started my journey at Rudy & Kelly Paul Mitchell Academy to learn more about the beauty industry and hair, color, cutting, makeup, skin care and so much more. This time last year I had no idea what I was gonna do with my life, I felt I had no options. Now that I am done, I feel like I have unlimited options of what I can do in this career.

Today I graduated at 5:15pm and I cant believe it! I cant even begin to process it! I still have to take my state boards and get licensed but this is just one step closer to achieveing that!

I have met so many inspiring people, not just learning leaders on staff but other future professionals as well, and I hope that I have inspired others as well. I started out unsure of myself and why I was even in hair school when I am a fashion major and artist, but I found that I can combine all my passions into one. I dont have to limit myself to just one option.

As I practiced more and more on all my crafts, I became more confident in myself and what I can accomplish. Its just an amazing feeling to do something you love and for others to enjoy it as well.

In high school, I attended Fashion Design at Votech, and I had loved it soooo much, not just because of what I learned, but of who I met and the friendships I made. Going here is a similar experience for me. Life is really about the people you meet. You come to realize who are truly friends and who are not.

I know that I am not alone in this feeling, I hope that everyone has a pleasant experience while attending school. I was never one to get involved in drama, because life is too short for that and I dont have time! I know I am throwing out some cheesy quotes, but it really is true!

I just wanted to share  this amazing day with you!!!! Thank you for stopping by!
