5 Things From Your Childhood That Made You Know You Were Born for Beauty
We have all had that one moment, that ah-ha ‘this is what my life is going to be’ moment.
Even if you may not have known that a career in beauty was your perfect match from the time you first picked up your moms curling iron, the pull of all things hair, makeup, and beauty has captured your soul. As a child or teenager you were obsessed with having the biggest and best. You saved babysitting money to purchase the polish and products that your parents refused to buy and spent far too much time in front of the bathroom mirror swallowed by a plume of Aquanet.
Beauty has always been in your blood.
Take a trip down memory lane and see where your passion all began.
