How I became the me today
The reason why I have started this blog is because my passion for makeup/nails has become greater than I ever thought it could become. At first I thought it was just something I liked doing. Just something I was interested in. I watched a ton of youtube videos about makeup and nail tutorials. I learned through trial and error. And now I want others to see how far you can come with ambition and determination.
Now here's a little about me.
I was born and raised in NYC Manhattan from the year 1990 to 2000. I then moved to Europe, Belgium to be exact. I graduated high school in '09. I then moved back home. 2009 was a very hard year for me. Not only was I trying to finish high school I was also battling for my life. Later that year I got diagnosed with Lupus.
For those that do not know what Lupus is, Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease. In simpler terms, it means my body cannot differentiate good from the bad cells so it'll keep attacking everything and anything. Such as my joints, skin, blood and organs. There is no cure.
Lupus was an eye opener for me. Everything changed. My environment, me myself. And other than music being my way out, makeup/nail designs were there for me as well. I was tired of paying other people to f*ck up my nails. So I decided I can do my designs myself. Again, watching YouTube videos. Doing it myself.
I started with nail designs, nail care, eyeshadow application and now I'm learning acrylic nails, foundation application, shaping eyebrows. Mind you, I learn by trying it all on myself. Occasionally I have my mother as my guinea pig but she's too picky with colors and such. lol
And that's pretty much it. Y'all up to date now.
