The Best of 2017

Hi Friend!
Can you believe 2017 is quickly coming to a close and 2018 is right around the corner?
2018 will be a big year full of changes for me: graduation, finding an adult job, and continuing to grow my makeup business. But, before all that comes around I wanted to take a moment to pause and look at all the amazing things that happened this past year.
God has been so faithful and good! 
-I left the U.S. and went to live in Spain for a semester, traveling all over the world to some really amazing places
- I started a makeup business and have partnered with some amazing photographers who have really helped it to grow. Doing makeovers for photoshoots has given me an opportunity to reconnect with old friends, create a great portfolio, and have lots of girl talk while playing in makeup.

• One of the most memorable business highlights for me this year was doing my first wedding as a makeup artist. Being a part of such a special day and spending the quiet moments before the wedding serving the bridal party was absolutely humbling and so rewarding! I've already started booking weddings for 2018 and I can hardly wait! What a blessing!

-I interned at a really great company and found out I really love working in purchasing (now I have an actual career path which is helpful!)
It wouldn't be right to mention all that exciting-ness without thanking those who made it possible: My parents. My photographers, Jamie and Savannah. God. Thank you all for guiding me, pushing me to be better, and loving me through it all. I can't wait to see what this next year has in store!
I hope 2018 is just as exciting as this past year, filled with more blessings and joy than I know what to do with, and I hope that goes for you as well! A new year is a new chance to grow into the person you want to be, make changes, love harder, and seek more joy. That's what I'll be doing this year.
Enjoy some of my favorite moments from 2017!
