Introduction

WOW!

 Never thought I'd find myself blogging, but here I am. I suppose I could start with a little background on myself. I'm 22 and finishing my last semester at University of Wisconsin-Platteville. I'm getting my degree in Business Administration and then starting Cosmetology school in January.  I live in Wisconsin and love it! Platteville, not so much. My heart belongs to Southeastern Wisco <3. I have an amazing dog that I treat like a baby. His name is Nugget, he's an American Bulldog, and he just turned 3 at the end of September. I have a younger sister Olivia that will end up on SNL one day. When people ask me about her, that's what I tell them since that explains so much in so few words haha.

I have never been a good artist using paper and pencil.  Growing up, that was always Olivia's talent.  I knew pretty early on that I loved to do hair, or at least my own. I got to get my first highlights in 7th grade, and I got my first "unnatural" color my Sophomore year of high school which consisted of a whopping streak of blue. Been hooked ever since.  Instead of paper as a canvas, I use my whole head. The things people can do with dyes, bleach, shears, razors, foundation, eyeliner, lipstick, etc. amazes me. You can literally create a new masterpiece of yourself every day.

As mentioned above, I don't start Cosmetology school until January so I have no professional training in this area, but it's something I love to do and experiment with a lot. I hope to start this blog just showing what I know now and then moving into different things as I learn them come January.  I hope to be able to look back at this blog and see how I've progressed as well as share what I know with anyone reading this.

Everyone is beautiful.  I never want people who read this to think that I consider "natural" to be ugly. That is absolutely not true.  There are plenty of times when I just don't have the time to do anything and I walk around with a bun and no makeup.  I do it because I think it's super fun and everyday is a new opportunity to "Create Yourself."  You can be anything you want to be, and your beautiful face is the first thing people see.  So be beautiful. Be you.
