Welcome back Muses! Tonight I listened to my Husband speak about his blog and how many people he has positively impacted. That made me realize how important being consistent and honest about your craft means so much to yourself as well as others. The beauty of his words and in depth knowledge, and the creative atmosphere he created for himself is pretty impressive. I aspire to create the same for myself and others. The work speaks for itself. Shoutout to Bballscholar 💛
As of August of this year I enrolled back into Esthetic School. My plan is to graduate and specialize in LED lights, galvanic, and high frequency in my facials. I am excited about learning all the newest techniques & trends as well as the fundamentals. It’s fun and challenging at the same time. I’m learning more about myself and what my capabilities are day by day.
Ironically when I was enrolled in school in 2013, I was afraid of going into depth in those areas of Esthetics (I don’t think at time I had the self confidence that I could accomplish anything I set my mind to.) I graduated and received my certification. At that time Connecticut did not have a state license for Esthetics as they do now. Nor did I consider getting my license in another state. 20 something year old me, only thought about short term goals instead of the long term. At at time I had a habit of losing interest in things quickly. I think that was the Gemini in me. (shout out to my fellow Geminis ♊️) I had no real plan or sense of direction.
After graduating the Esthetics program, I landed a job at a very beautiful spa. The atmosphere was relaxing, There were a few treatment rooms, including an infrared sauna, a water room with a jacuzzi, a waterfall shower head with a treatment bed for body wraps services, and lastly an incredible Pink Himalayan Salt Cave! The entire cave was made of pink Himalayan salt with reclining chairs and comfy blankets. I spent countless hours in that cave on my idle time. I was head Esthetician for my first job! I learn so many things at that spa both good and bad. A few months into my journey my Grandfather, Poppy became ill and suddenly passed away. I remember the exact moment he left his Earth, I woke up at the same time he departed. I was devastated and completely broken. He passed the day before Valentine’s Day. The most beautiful part of that day, he had a Valentine’s gift and card prepared for his wife (my grandmother) of 50+ years. He was my best friend. I knew one day my grandparents would have to leave me, but I wasn’t prepared at all. Along with me trying to process my grief the spa was shut down by the government. The drama with that might be another story for another day. The experience alone, it ended up having a horrible taste in my mouth about the industry and I never went back.
Thankfully I made the choice to decide to enroll back in school and THIS time get my state license. The excitement of learning all the things I forgot all about (if you don’t use it everyday, you most definitely will forget). There are days the information makes sense, and some days where I have no idea how I’m going to retain it. Nevertheless I am here and I’m not giving up. As of tomorrow I can take clients 😁 I’m more than confident that my hands and fingers will do their magic. The energy and passion I place into my work is a beautiful experience.
Once I receive my state license I am looking forward to upgrading my website with my Esthetic services!
Stay Beautifully Groovy Muses 💛✌🏾🪩💃🏾🕺🏾
