Well this was unexpected... What a makeup artist is working on during a pandemic.

Who could have seen this coming?
Just as my 2020 was about to kick it into high gear the whole world had to stop in its tracks.

So what am I working on during this unexpected time off?

The behind the scenes work on my business never stops, not even for a pandemic! The bummer is that the part of my job that actually brings in the entirety of my income is the only part that I can’t do right now. Besides working like crazy on everything I can fora super exciting project that I can't quite reveal just yet I am also focusing my efforts on improving the back end of my own business. The biggest part of that has been setting up Dubsado. For those who may not be familiar; Dubsado is a business management system. By putting in a lot of work up front it will eventually create a better client experience and streamline my workflows from initial inquiry all the way through to completion of work.

I've also been doing a ton of learning!
In this business you can never stop learning and I always take classes, workshops, and attend meetings about both the artistry as well as the business side of things every year. During the stay at home orders I am trying to make the most of my time and I have enrolled in a ton of virtual courses of all kinds. Not only will this help me be a better artist and entrepreneur for my clients, it is also incredibly rewarding for me as an individual. Some of the certifications I have achieved so far include the BARBICIDE sanitation practices and Covid-19 specific sanitation in order to ensure that once I am able to work again, I am providing a safe environment for my clients

So when will I be able to work again?
  
I really don't know. I do have a couple of things scheduled at the end of June but I suppose it will be a wait and see kind of situation as to whether or not those will end up having to be rescheduled. As of right now I am not taking any new bookings for the remainder of 2020. This may seem extreme, but I know how heartbroken my brides who have already had to reschedule were and I do not want to have more clients go through that. At this point I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the new dates some of my brides already moved their weddings to won't have to reschedule a second time.  The plan is to reopen my books and start scheduling new clients once we have the go ahead that it is safe to do so.
Until then I would love to stay connected on social media! Head on over to my instagram, I plan on doing some IGTV videos and it would be amazing to get to stay in touch until I can finally be face to face with all my amazing clients once again.

Stay safe my sweet clients & friends! Hope to see you all again soon
