Hello {again} beautiful!

It's been quite some time since I posted here. I missed it. I've had a few changes in my world o'beauty. First, I launched my own makeup portfolio online. Geeeeesh, it's about time! I spend so much time slingin' eyeliner and not enough time writing about it. Secondly, I started beauty school. I have yet to say this without hearing the lyrics from Beauty School Dropout (Grease) playing in my head! But unlike Frenchy, I'm financially invested into this venture and will not be dropping out. I should clarify that it's technically not beauty school. I'm working on my skin care license. I'm fascinated with the eyelash extension industry and am adding this onto my menu of makeup services. I'm also toying around with actually doing something in skin care. I love the medical side of aesthetics and am contemplating doing something in that field. I'll keep teeter-tottering with this for the next 5 months, carefully analyzing every detail of my future before I make a decision! Until then, Jamie's beauty blog is back and I'll be journaling my time in beauty school (dang, there's that song again!).

I'm about one month into my school so I'll have to catch you up a bit.......I've started my 5 month course to be certified as a skin care specialist. It's a small class of 6 since it's a summer session. I tried not to snob'ily judge the facility by the exterior of the building. It's old, dated, and there was no curbside appeal. That Flipping Out guy from the t.v. show would have a hay day with this one! The inside looked....well, pretty much like the outside! And my snob-o-meter went from zero to shoot-me in 5 seconds. Our first day was orientation. I looked around the room at all my new classmates. This group was about as diverse as the cast from Gilligan's Island ( all future posts will reference my classmates as the "Gilligan's").  All women, yet all in different phases of their lives. I"m sure I'm here for a reason.....
