{the high of last year}
...is being my own boss. it's definitely a different stress, but this stress i'd rather have then the food/corporate stress i used to have!
so -- i originally left the lash place i was at to share a room with my co-worker. and, that didn't last long! if i knew i'd be going through the process of getting a business up and running twice, i would've just went out on my own in the first place. UGH.

i freaked out at first when she sprung it on me that she wanted her own room. but things just perfectly unfolded. i'm SO much happier on my own. i do the decisions i want to do without having to worry about someone else. i got the help of a business coach right away and i'm still working with him, which i thank him for getting my business built up so fast the way it is. i am almost fully tapped out and full with lash clients constantly!
here's my studio. still in progress, but almost there! this is so much more *me* than the shared room i was in. and that damn stenciled wall -- ugh, never doing that again!
i'm in a place called sola salons. it's individual studios owned by other beauty peeps all under one roof. and i'm lucky to be the only one doing lashes!
so if you're even in SD.. make sure to visit.
