We had such an amazing time with Michael DeVellis in New Orleans. My Ten Words that describes him are: Hilarious, Gorgeous, Inspirational, Motivating, Smart, Blunt, Hungry, Caring, Thoughtful, and Memorable. He’s such a cutie pie, not to mention that he picked up on the NOLA lingo really quick! Yes he did ask me “how ya mama nem?” lol ! But overall, he inspired everyone in the LAB and we couldn’t have asked for anything better! I can go on and on about this, so I’ll stop here! lol… Thanks to all of the makeup artists that attended the event and a special thanks to those that drove so far to be here! Can’t wait until the next time!!!

Loving what you do and meeting good friends….

When you love what you do and you get to meet amazing people while doing it…somehow it makes things seem too easy! But that’s what happens when you follow your life’s purpose.  It’s when you work smarter and not harder! Being smart about it includes loving the job and the people that it brings into your journey. So we had the opportunity to experience just that at Guilford College in Greensboro, NC. We met some of the most wonderful people that I’ve ever met. The kind that makes you believe that you’ve fulfilled your purpose!  Boy…what a feeling..and it makes you continue to give and service others with your talent!

For starters, the beautiful girls in our workshop were so inspiring to us. Just looking at them looking at us almost felt like a deja vu moment because we were in those seats many times. It was good to give them the knowledge that we have about starting our business, sharing our career journey, and sharing our makeup skill. The best part was explaining how we really got to this wonderful place…the place where you can wake up every morning to do what you love, service others, and actually make money doing it! You know sitting in a room filled with laughter strengthens the soul and we all walked out feeling very strong. So we were proud to be a part of that.

 Second, we had two of the most phenominal hostesses that you could image,  Holly & Jada! I’ve always known that us southerners had the best hospitality..but these two ladies were the definition of that! Not only did they physically show us a good time and made sure that we were taken care of, they also were committed to making us feel at home..and we did. They reinforced that they admired what we do and for us that was another stamp of approval of “you’re fulfilling your life’s purpose.” So thank you for that! We admire what you guys do and the fact that you’ve dedicated your energy to making a difference in your community is the greatest gift! You guys inspire us because of that!  We also have to give thanks to Tracey “our assistant”  for all of her hard work. lol..Without knowing her, this experience probably wouldn’t have happened…it’s good to know people huh?

Last, I think this workshop was just as important to us as it was for our beautiful group of talented women!  Even though we talked about all of the motivating stuff, at the end of the day…we were all just some girls loving and playing in makeup!
