Simplifying Beauty

This weekend I stepped into the Lash Battle at the in Austin, TX.

While I didn’t place this year... this experience was still incredibly meaningful because this was my very first lash battle competition.

Walking into a room filled with talented artists from across the industry pushed me far outside my comfort zone. It challenged me creatively, mentally, and professionally... and honestly, I’m proud that I showed up and did it anyway.

At Simplifying Beauty, I deeply believe that growth comes from continuing to learn, refine your craft, and challenge yourself even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed.

This experience reminded me that sometimes the biggest win is simply being willing to step into the arena.

Showing up matters.
Growth matters.
Courage matters.

I’m leaving this weekend inspired, grateful, and even more motivated to continue growing as an artist and bringing that growth back to the clients I serve every day.

Thank you to everyone who supported, encouraged, and cheered me on throughout this experience. It truly meant so much. 🩷
