Well, the holiday season is not approaching...it is HERE!!
I cannot believe it! We are blessed to be busy throughout the season, but have gotten wiser about taking cherished time off with our families. I love my "job" and I love working hard, very hard-but at the end of the day family is what's most important. I have learned that you don't get that time back and for me it's always about finding that balance. Even after 12 years, I am still learning. I just do my best and pray it's enough :)
I wanted to share this sweet email I got from a young aspiring gal in Alabama. Now, I don't know how other artist/business owners would react to this, but I was thrilled! I was also honored that she would even ask me! I don't know this girl very well (yet), but I admire her moxie in reaching out. She sounds like a go-getter, who knows what she likes, has goals and plans to make them happen. She also reminded me of me at that age. I had amazing support in my life and several mentors throughout my many journeys. It would be my pleasure and my privledge to help this young artist in any way I can. This is what makes my work so cool. It is so much more than about the make up. It is about relationships, helping people, and maybe having a little something to do with making someone's life a little bit better.
Hello Mrs. Moore,
My name is Meredith, I'm a friend of Hannah's. She told me you were
a make up artiest and showed me your website, and I was instantly
inspired by your work and wanted to ask you a few questions if that
was okay with you.
I've been trying to decide what I career I want to pursue and what
courses to take in college. I'd love to be a make up artist, I'm
currently Head of Hair and Make up at Grissom's Theater Department,and
although theater make up and daily or special occasion make up use
vastly different styles, it inspired me to look into cosmetology and
becoming a make up artist. I have some experience doing special
occasion make up but nothing extravagant or professional. My friends
ask me to do their hair and make up for Homecoming, Prom and the
occasional pageants. I love doing make up and I'm really thinking
about pursuing it as a career.
I was wondering how you got started in the make up business, if
there are any techniques i could start trying to develop and practice
or where i could possibly be trained by professionals and if there are
any particular make up brands and tools i could use that are good
quality.
Thank you for taking the time to read this email. I hope to hear from you soon!
